That didn't take long, did it?

[ Unsurprisingly, Kate sounds tired to some extent. What is surprising, to her at least, is that she isn't as tired as she had anticipated being after finally being cured of her mania. No longer are her words bursting with vigor, her voice tempered and quiet. ]

Something was bound to happen not too long after imPorts began to show up here again. [ A beat. ] Just like the City. I wonder what comes next.

[ There are footsteps in the background, padded and soft; not hers, for anyone with good ears. ]

The more things change, the more they stay the same, hm? A pessimistic expression, I'm aware. Maybe I need to change it up a little for my own pleasure. Familiarity is nice, but repetition gets boring quickly. [ Another pause. ] The fifties was known for its experimentation with culture and style.


[ PRIVATE to FELICIA HARDY, RICK BRADBURY & TROY BARNES ]

I owe you an apology.

Okiedoke. Shoot.

[gevurah]

They set you up at an auto repair, right?

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Sure did.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

How is it?

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Uh. It's alright? It's not what I'm used to, and I still bite at the hover car situation, but it's doable.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

[ A thoughtful hum. ]

I'll check it out for myself. I'm not familiar with hover vehicles either, but a car is still a car, right? I know my way around bikes.

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

You gonna get a car?

audio, private.

[gevurah]

I'm looking for a job, Troy.

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Oooh. Okay. Cool.

Are you a mechanic?

audio, private.

[gevurah]

I fixed my own car and bike sometimes.

[ The modified Ducati especially. She can't exactly wheel it into a shop with the huge, red bat slapped on its front. ]

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Well, cool. That's about as much experience as I had, so you should be good.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

Really? They don't field you?

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

A little bit? I mean, you get training and everything, but it's still not much when you consider that most people go through whole programs to be qualified for this stuff.

But it's doable. I'm doing it.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

It beats doing nothing.

What's the address?

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

[ Here's an address! ]

You, uh... You want me to talk to anybody for you? Let 'em know you're coming or whatever?

audio, private.

[gevurah]

That would be great.

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Consider it done.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

Thanks, Troy. I owe you.

audio, private.

[kegflipped]

Don't sweat it.

audio, private.

[gevurah]

I'll try to drop by before the end of the week.
