CLOSED TO ALLELUJAH ♛ AROUND CAISSA

[This is something that Lapis has been looking forward to getting since... well, since she first arrived here really. A motorcycle was something she had back home, and is something she misses here - so now that she has the funds, today is the day she gets her hands on one!

Though since she didn't want to do this alone, she decided to bring along someone she can trust to pick out something good. A.k.a her roommate. Which is why they're both heading into the part of town that sells the bikes, Lapis looking rather pleased with herself. Or as pleased she can look with the lineface.]

... I wonder what kinds of bikes they have here.

OPEN ♛ HALL OF GLORY COURTYARD

[There's a rather loud racket outside the Halls today, mainly coming from the courtyard. It sounds like a swarm a loud, angry bees - but some people might recognize that annoying buzzing as the sound of a motor. A kind of loud and annoying one.

Investigating the cause of the noise will reveal one Lapis giving her motorcycle a test spin around the courtyard, eventually coming to a stop so that she can crouch down and have a look at it. She's at least tied her hair up, but hasn't apparently bothered with buying a helmet yet. Or any other equipment, she can get that later.

and she'll happily give anyone a ride if they ask nicely]

What a marvelously crafted machine... -Kasen had been heading out to the courtyard to work on his poetry, but there was no hope of it with that noise. Rather than let it bother him, however, he decided to get a closer work and found himself admiring the bike in a way that was so typically Kasen.-

[oneirism]

[Well, she's glad the noise wasn't bothering him! Lapis tended to be used to more quiet machines, so she was hoping to maybe find a way to quiet it down - with no luck so far.

She does peek up when she hears Kasen, looking almost proud of his comment.]

... It is. I'm glad I was able to find a bike like this here. [Most of them were too far back in terms of seating, or too low, so finding this bike was a relief.]

I somehow completely missed this, my bad

[liberal_arts]

It definitely seems like a natural fit for you. Did you ride much back in your own world?

-He was still mostly looking at the bike, eyes carefully tracing over each carefully machined component and how they all worked together. Such technology was still well beyond his understanding...-

It's okay!

[oneirism]

... Yep, that's right. So it's definitely nice to have a bike again.

[Lapis notices how he looks at it, watching him for a moment, before her eyes flick down to her bike once more.]

Do you want to have a try on it?

[liberal_arts]

Eh?

Ah... I suppose it's not that different from riding a horse. Perhaps I could try. -He looked back up to her with a nervous smile. He had no idea what he was doing...-
