[Video: Around the Junk pile]

[originaldragoon]

[Well you see Rose at the edge of the Junk Pile with a pretty sweet looking motorcycle standing in front of her, her mech firelizard sitting on the handle bars. She is looking at the thing, a bit perplexed. Motorcycles do not exist on her world and this is the first time she's sees one in person.]

I figure this thing is use for transportation, but....

What exactly is it, and how does one make it work? Such mechanical devices for transportation do not exist on my world, and I am afraid my knowledge is limited to what I have learned since my arrival here.

If anyone could teach me how to use it I would appreciate it. Having something to use for travel other than my Dragoon Armor and my own two feet will be quite welcoming.

Why don't you try asking it nicely?

[No, Starscream, No]

[originaldragoon]

I do not see how my question was rude.

[whatbedsidemanners]

Wear protection.

[That's the only advice she has.]

[originaldragoon]

I am already wearing armor.

[It's leather but still...]

[whatbedsidemanners]

A helmet then.

As for your motorcycle, I'm afraid I don't have any advice.

[She's a van, not a bike.]

[originaldragoon]

Is a helmet necessary?

Well, you at least know what it is, which is more information that I had before.

[thxforthememories]

You should whistle to it.

audio;

[originaldragoon]

Whistle?

[Well, it's worth a shot and she whistles at the motorcycle followed by a brief pause.]

.... Nothing happened.

audio;

[thxforthememories]

That's... odd.

It always worked for him.

Re: audio;

[originaldragoon]

Maybe something is broken in this one...

audio;

[thxforthememories]

What about the handles...? Do they turn?

Re: audio;

[originaldragoon]

[Rose does that and nothing happens, mainly because she hasn't turned the key yet.]

They turn but nothing is happening either.

audio;

[thxforthememories]

... That was all he ever did, to make his machine go.

audio;

[originaldragoon]

Who is he?

[There is a brief pause]

What does this do...

[There is a click and the sound of an engine starting up followed by a startled squawk from a firelizard.]

Is it suppose to make that sound?

[aerospacecommander]

No no no. I mean you should try asking the motorcycle nicely.

audio;

[thxforthememories]

Someone who used that machine... that sort of machine.

[... Gunmax ...]

Hm?

[The sound surprises him too. But it's a good sound -- he recognizes it.]

The engine is on. That's all.

[originaldragoon]

The motorcycle?

[She kinda eyes the thing. It sounded silly, but than again, she knew nothing about how these things work. She give a shrug and addresses it.]

Motorcycle, can you please show me how to use you?

[Of course the motorcycle just sits there.]

Nothing is happening.

[Hope you get a good laugh out of this Screamer!]

audio;

[originaldragoon]

I see, so that means it's on now. Maybe that's why it wasn't working before...

audio;

[thxforthememories]

Try the handles again.

audio;

[originaldragoon]

[She does, and there is the sound of the engine revving followed by more firelizard protest chirps.]

Is it suppose to do that?

audio;

[thxforthememories]

Yes.

That's it's engine sound. I remember...

[whatbedsidemanners]

I've had the opportunity to learn about organics lately, and I've discovered that your inner structure is quite fragile. A helmet is absolutely necessary.

Also let me know when you're going to test that out. At the very least I can be around if you damage something.

[originaldragoon]

I do not think this thing is that dangerous.

audio;

[originaldragoon]

Do you know what the next step is?

audio;

[thxforthememories]

Sit on it?
