ceejdoesroleplay | Glitch and Gear's PSLS

[ He watches Gear with some thought as he does all this. He's definitely never met someone like this before. So oddly...upbeat. No one was happy in the domes for the obvious reasons and everyone he came across here so far seemed to have some kind of stony faced, serious attitude.

This guy was the one exception. At the offer Glitch is almost says no when...well. He might as well. There wasn't much else to do around here. So, he steps a little closer. ]

Sure. I guess...and I really doubt it. Unless you have dome made products in here I'll probably have no fuckin' idea.

[ And he'll just gesture with one of his hands to the four armed guy to lead on...though not before he asks; ]

Do you have a name? Or do I just call you four arms or something?

[that makes him pause -- a brief flash of something that could be... shame or guilt crosses his face, but it's gone as quickly as it appeared.]

You'd be surprised, [he mumbles, briefly knocked off his horse. gear has four arms, though. he gets up fast.] Heh, I almost went with 'Arms', you know? I'm Gear. Three guesses as to why, first two don't count.

[gear gestures glitch over.]

I'm working on a bike around here.

[ Ah. Well. That's awkward to say the least. However, he does follow behind the other quietly as Gear shows the workshop. ]

Yeah, well...it's not something you can avoid I guess. From what ...Tatania said? [ Was he saying that right? ] Almost everything's dome made.

[ Though three guesses huh? He quirks a brow looking perplexed. Well, looking at the workshop it felt kinda obvious for that name pick. ]

Beeeecause you like to take things apart? [ First guess.

But, then he see's the Bike and Glitch looks at it a little wide eyed. He saw these things in the streets when he had finally managed to reach the city but it's still strange to see up close. He does make a slow approach, not touching it but looking it over. ]

What's it suppose to do?? I mean. What are you gonna make it do?

I can show you how to use the stuff here, if you want.

[gear crosses both sets of his arms, standing back to let glitch look it over. there's no battery hooked up, so it should be fine based on what he's been told about glitch's powers.]

It's transport, but... you know, I'm not sure yet. I was going to get it running then see what we needed. What do you think?

[ At the offer he's really not sure what to say to it. Really, what's he suppose to do around here anyways? He's pretty much stuck with nothing to do. ]

Might as well, I can be useful for something I guess.

[ He does step around the vehicle to give it a better look. ]

I mean, it's your thing. You could always fucking take it out for a joy ride I guess if you felt like it. I wouldn't blame you. [ Since it seemed like it could be fun. ]

Hmm.

[he hates what the dome escapees are drilled with; that thought that they need to be useful to be allowed to live. it's terrible.]

Well... I can't really get out much at the moment. Work, you know? [and his arms, but he doesn't mention that.] I'll get it working and maybe you could test it for me? I'd appreciate that help.

[ It doesn't take much to catch onto the fact that it would be hard to take a ride in the city with four arms. Irregulars weren't common in the streets though.] Riiight...work. You know, you could just wear a huge sweater or something to hide your extra arms.

[However, when offered to test the bike, Glitch raises his hands in protest. ]

Uh. I'm the last person you wanna be asking to do that. I wouldn't even know how. I'd probably just wreck it.

[that's a good idea, but gear is too taken up with the idea of sending glitch out on this bike, instead.]

But imagine the data I could get from it! Not to mention feeling the wind in your hair!

[ Okay, it's weird. TThere's a moment of pause when he just hears that and looks at the other guy and well...his face kind of goes red. He's never really met someone so exciteable.

Also did he smell nice or something? He coughs a little bit, a hesitant smile coming to his face as he ruffles his blue hair. ]

I...guess I could try? You'll...you'll still need to show me how to use it though.

We didn't get to ride bikes.

[gear, unaware of this, just draws back with a delighted laugh. listen to how happy he is, glitch. you did this.]

Of course! Why don't you try sitting on it, to see how you feel? It's clamped in, so it won't tip over or anything!

Um. All right. Sounds good.

[ He steps over to the bike looking it over and then back to Gear. ]

So. Like this? [ He throws his leg over the seat and grabs onto the handles. As much as it is locked in Glitch still has a time trying to steady himself. He has to look the bike over in detail, turning his hands on the handles. ]

So how does it work?

Like that, yeah.

[gear takes a few steps forward, crouching down to fiddle with something around the back of the bike outside of glitch's line of sight.]

Hang on, just working on the pedals and balance... [he says, all four arms at work.] Have you driven any vehicle before?

[ It's hard not to let your face go red when someone is standing behind you. Especially if they were...kind of cute? God, what is he turning into right now?

He almost doesn't catch what Gear has to say. ]

Huh? What?

Oh. No. Never. We don't have things like this in the domes. We get by by like...walking and stuff.

[ He does turn to look back to Gear pausing briefly. ]

Okay so...this is gonna be weird to ask but...

I guess what's it like having four arms? [ Because that's a great conversation topic. ]

[WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT:] Handy!

[ And without even missing a beat...Glitch lets out a small laugh. ]

Oh my god, what is even that joke? So stupid.

[ But, he's smiling at least. ]

You got it, though! [he raises all four hands, wiggling his fingers.] I-- hmm. You know, I can't actually imagine having just two, now. It took me a while to get used to them when I was young, but...

[he shrugs a little.]

It helps what I like to do. What's it like with, um... your one?

[ Weirdly, he feels like some kind of heavy weight is lifted off his shoulders from all this joking. Maybe the guy wasn't so bad? Either way he listens quietly as he explains and wiggles his fingers with emphasis. Though the question does earn a small shrug. ]

I mean, it's not four arms but it's...

[ He does a small flick of his hand magnetically summoning a wrench from across the room to him. He does catch it and offer it over to Gear. ]

Pretty Magnetic.

[ He can make shit jokes too. ]

[he yelps a little in surprise when the wrench comes whizzing over his shoulder and into glitch's hands. then bursts out laughing as he takes it, delighted and high pitched, a little hyperactive.]

Holy shit! Do it again! [he holds the wrench with one hand and claps his other two together.] Get something bigger!!

Something bigger?

[ He looks around at the workshop unsure as to what exactly he should be throwing around the room that's any bigger. It seemed there weren't many metal objects that could be as big...until he looks down at the motorcycle. He looks between that, Gear, then back again before he tightens his grip on the handles. With some focus the vehicle begins to lift off the ground as Glitch sits upon it. Then he looks back to Gear. ]

Uh. How's that?

[gear screams. he outright screams with sheer joy, loud enough that one of the guards patrolling the hallways bursts in with a shout, little bits of sharp metal floating around him. gear shifts in front of glitch and the hovering bike.]

It's okay! It's okay! We're just experimenting! [haha, metaphors.] I got a little... excited. You know how it is, Caliber!

[the guy - caliber - rolls his eyes. you really gotta tell me when you start these things, gear. he says as he drops the metal. then mock-salutes at glitch. hey, kid. sorry 'bout that.

gear looks back to glitch, expression sheepish.]

Sorry.

[ He hadn't expected Gear to scream and it does make him wince a bit. However, it's definitely more than a little surprising when two people come barrelling in looking like they're about to throw hands with him. He tenses but it seems that Gear just manages to smooth it out.

He exhales as he watches them leave but levitates the bike to the ground before getting off it. ]

It's uh...fine. But, it's nothing to get that excited about big guy. It's just stuff I'm able to do.

[ As he makes a casual gesture to the other; ]

I mean, I'm not screaming with joy at your buff arms, despite how impressive.

[ ...wait...what did he just say? ]

Well, you should be, because they are very impressive. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep up muscle mass for four arms?

[he's catching on, glitch. he's got you.]

Anyway, if you can fly this thing, then there's no real worry about learning to drive, or... is there...

...Hang on. I'm not sure how terrible that idea is.

Uh. No. I don't really know. I'm not even sure how to keep it on two arms.

[ As he gestures to himself and all of his scrawniness. Still, he can't help but laugh a little sheepishly. Don't turn red Glitch, you're already embarrassing yourself.

Regardless, he offers a shrug to his remark. ]

It'd probably be a bad one. I'd probably end up crashing it into something and wrecking it.

Also I'd probably die.

[that just makes him tap his chin in thought.] Okay, I can think of a few adjustments I could make to make it safe.

[a beat, then:]

Not just for flying, I mean-- in general. Transport like this is kind of a rare commodity, these days.

[ Glitch folds his arms and nods a bit to what Gear says. He's not sure he really understands all of it, especially with it being the rare commodity bit.

SO, finally he stops leaning on the counter and walks toward Gear.]
In that case I will leave you to your work, big guy.

[ and he gives a light punch to the guy's arm as he heads towards the door. He looks back briefly as he gives the guy a two fingered salute.]

I'll uh....see you around, Gear. It was uh...cool meeting you.
