Chaos and the science of a broken motorcycle. (Lysi)
It had been entirely an impulse purchase, but it was the exact same bike she'd had back home. The damn serial number had even been the same and maybe that is what had sent MC over the edge. It didn't matter that it needed work; it was hers.

Except...while she could get the bike running, the baby blue 1979 Harley Davidson Sportster had some structural issues. Namely...it wouldn't drive straight and MC wasn't entirely certain how to fix that and she didn't have a whole lot of resources that took a petite redhead seriously. Not here. There was only one person she could think of.

Half an hour later, she'd tracked down Lysi and pulled up (or rather skidded dangerously up) to her curb.

	Lysi nods, turning as the waitress shows up, ordering a Pyramid ale for MC and a Mack and Jacks for herself, plus the biggest steak on the menu, rare for herself, and a lighter cut, medium, for MC. "That work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, yeah. Femizonia is kind of a super high tech, super low tech mix. We have flying single person vehicles, but a lot of people still ride... think the F4 folks called them pterodactyls... things like that. We have lasers, but a lot of girls still use swords and all... sky cycles were one of my favorites though. Kinda like a flying motorcycle that'll hit MACH 3." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finances, really. It costs a good bit of money to set these things up and while back home I had money I feel a bit badly about going to this dimension's version of my parents and asking. I'm trying to do it on my own as much as possible. So my little garage is enough for now. Sometimes I get to go visit Mr. Pym and play in his lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll just have to figure that one out. So far, its just been me, haven't taken any dates out while I'm here. So... reminds me, when you're going out, what do you like to do?" Since she's guessing getting drunk and getting into barfights isn't the answer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know. I don't get out much around here and most dates I go to end up being usual stuff like going to the movies. I like amusement parks. Uh...I'm really pretty open to things, though. "How many dates have you gone on here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
