[Private to Olivier Armstrong]

Yeah, this is Varon. We met briefly and you gave me that work-up 'bout the town after you shoved milkweed under my nose. Sheppard said I'd be a good candidate for the Resistance. I'll be brief.

She's seen me 'round on campus and interviewed me. I got plans worked up...mostly notes about what's goin' on an' things. I've been a prisoner when I was thirteen so you don't have to worry 'bout me crackin' under pressure. I've got somethin' worth protectin' here and I'm wantin' in.

A call back is appreciated.

[Private to Asagami Fujino]

Um...this is the first time I ever did this but I wanted to wish you a good night. I'll pick ya up in the mornin' for school.

[Open to all]

Listen up. Anyone so much as touches Fujino will have to answer to me. She's mine, got it? Anyone got a beef with that, I'm all ears.

Had one back home. I want it back. I heard this town gives out things after certain major nasties so I'm gonna try then.

Ever heard of a Kawasaki Ninja XRZ 1200 Super Sport?

Son of a - you have a -

[Enjoy the sputtering sounds of jealousy for a few moments, Varon]

You lucky bastard!

[last_to_kneel]

Yeah?

[He's chuckling now.]

Glad you know what it is. Most 'round here think it's some sorta game.

Listen, if ya want, I can teach ya how to drive. It's not hard. 'Sides, I can fix it if it breaks. The bike, no touch. Parts would be impossible to find here.

Now, I can build ya a Shovelhead if ya want. There's plenty of parts for that.

[princeofjunes]

[And more sputtering - this time from a mix of happiness and disbelief]

Seriously? No joke? Because if you're joking I don't think my heart can take it.

[last_to_kneel]

Man, I don't lie 'bout shit like that. I plan on openin' up my own shop when I got the time an' money buildin' bikes. It'll take a bit but it'll get done.

[princeofjunes]

Holy... man, I will owe you BIG! Seriously, anything you want, just name it! I mean it!

[last_to_kneel]

Now, hold up, mate. We'll discuss that once it's finished. Don't wantcha thinkin' ya made a deal with the devil or somethin'. I should have it ready by summer's start if things go right.

I'm in good with some mechanics in town. I get parts cheap. Just not eighteen yet to work in the bays which sucks.

[princeofjunes]

Right! Sorry, got a little ahead of myself there.

But since this place considers me an adult, let me know if there's anything I can help out with. I can do that at least.

[last_to_kneel]

No worries. I'll call on ya when I start the build an' you can bring the beer. Sound good?

[princeofjunes]

That, I can do. Now I should let you go - you need to think of ways to suck up to that cutie of yours, right?

[last_to_kneel]

Yeah, 'bout that, any ideas? I'm thinkin' I should take her to see a movie but all of 'em here are pretty Ed Wood at best. I'm sure I'll figure somethin' out.

[princeofjunes]

If you know how to cook, I hear a homemade meal is one of the easiest ways to make a girl feel special. Besides, I bet it beats anything you'd get if you took her out to eat in this town.

[last_to_kneel]

Not a bad idea. Thanks, mate.

[princeofjunes]

Anytime. Good luck!
