Second Burn - [Video] - [Action for housemates]

[alittlebitfiery]

[Yang is standing outside Maurtia Falls #006 when she turns on her communicator, and she looks so excited, with this big grin on her face, and she's practically vibrating in place. Usually she can put on a cooler air than this, but not right now. She also apparently ran outside without putting a coat on so...whoops? There are some very obvious bruises on her arms and shoulders from the tournament the day before. But she's way too worked up to care.]

Guys! Okay. So I know everybody gets a power here right? And I'm sure everybody thinks they have the coolest powers, hey, maybe you were right until now, but I'm preeeeetty sure I win.

[She spins around, turning the camera as she goes so she's only in half the frame and it's pointing at an empty spot of street.]

Check this out.

[She points, and snaps her fingers. For a few seconds, nothing happens, and people listening closely might hear her breath catch thinking she just made an idiot of herself. But then the air starts to shimmer and shift, a swirling wave of colorful light that coalesces into a rather distinctive looking motorcycle!]

It's my bike! From Remnant! I had a hunch and it worked! I can make it disappear too!

[She snaps her fingers, and the air shimmers again, but this time there's a blip like watching a broken vcr and the bike is suddenly gone. Another snap, another delay, the dancing lights, and it's back.]

Isn't this amazing?

[She makes the bike disappear and reappear a few more times, each time with that delay, but she's laughing. Yeah, she's excited. Finally she seems to realize she's being ridiculous and turns the camera completely back to herself.]

Right! So, anybody else got one? I mean, powers or bought or whatever. I'd love to see them. [Her grin turns a tiny bit feral.] Maybe have a race?

[Filtered to Rose a few minutes later]

Rose! You still up for that roadtrip? 'cause we've got a riiiiiide.

Woo-hoo! That's some machine you got. It's ginormous! Way bigger than what I thought it would look like.

[ she was thinking of like... a normal bicycle before and not a huge motorcycle. ]

Anyway, I'm still raring to go as long as you are!

[alittlebitfiery]

Isn't she? Can easily seat two, which was kind of a big deal lugging Ruby around.

Great! [She hesitates.] I guess this means I gotta get off work somehow.

[quaerit]

[ That bike is magnificent. As is its color.

As is the fact that she pulled it out of nowhere, what the actual hell?! He didn't know people could do that! ]

I didn't know you could do that! What power is that supposed to be? That's incredible!

And what model is that? It's beautiful.

[ ...he's kind of forgotten you asked a question, sorry about that. ]

[alittlebitfiery]

Well, it was just called 'Summon Bumblebee' in my packet, and she's called Bumblebee so!

[Preen.]

She's a custom job.

[quaerit]

[ Bike summoning. Christ, that's amazing. ]

I can tell. Did you build her yourself, is that something you can do? She looks personalized.

What kind of speed can she reach?

[mathemagier]

[He's on a plane and remote accessing the network through his laptop because he's just bored enough to do it. Twenty hours is a long time. He also doesn't mean to sound rude, but he probably comes across that way anyway]

Is that the only object you can summon?

[alittlebitfiery]

[Hmph.]

Why would I want anything else when I've got my bike back?!

[mathemagier]

Do you know how your ability works?

[resipiscent]

I feel like I need to introduce you to a friend of mine.

slight threadjack!

[rassera]

It's pretty nice, but nothing compared to mine.

[resipiscent]

[omg kaneda]

I feel like if you're gonna say something like that you're supposed to actually show it off.

[alittlebitfiery]

Do they race?

[resipiscent]

I'd say so. Don't think he'd be able to resist, honestly.

[Video]

[crapbearer]

Dude, that's amazing!

Can you make me one?

[Video]

[alittlebitfiery]

[She laughs.]

Sorry kid, it's just the one. Tried making another but then the first one disappears.

[Video]

[crapbearer]

Don't suppose you're offering free rides?

[rassera]

[Oh man, now this is something he has to respond to. He'd been off the comm for a few days to recuperate from Pan's entire mess, but seeing someone showing off their powers like this, let alone this specific power?

He can't let this one go.]

Oi, princess!

[Give him a moment to walk outside. Nonah's still pretty cold, but it's worth it in this scenario.

He holds the feed out selfie-style, other hand behind him as they give one firm -snap- and--

His own bike materializes.]

[alittlebitfiery]

[Her eyes narrow for a moment because A) no fair and B) totally stepping on her moment. But only for a moment!]

Hey not bad! That looks like a pretty nice ride. Not as cool as Bumblebee of course, but still nice.

Is it fast?

[rassera]

[Uhm excuse you his bike is THE BEST.]

'Bumblebee'?

[His accent -barely- gets that out, tongue catching on that L and almost getting tangled.]

Pretty impressive, gotta say. Yellow's not my colour, though.

Itttt gets to 245kph max. Yours?

ACTION; hello housemate.

[protagerrant]

[Yuri doesn't exactly need to check the network to know something's going on. He wanders out of the front door, observing her from a distance until she seems to be done recording and then approaching. He tilts his head lightly]

I've seen a couple of these around, but none up close... Vehicle, right? What's it called?

ACTION; hi!

[alittlebitfiery]

[Yang spins around with a grin.]

Hey!

[She gives the motorcycle a pat.]

She's named Bumblebee.

[protagerrant]

[Yuri knows just enough about machines to know that this isn't like anything they've got back home. He eyes it with vague interest, as someone who's only got the faintest idea of what it is and how it works.]

I can see the resemblance.

[maime]

can you make other things or just the bike?

[Because it's a lot more useful if you can summon up whatever, you know.]

text;

[alittlebitfiery]

Nope?

Just the bike!

[maime]

seen better
is it even armor plated?

[Maine this isn't a war-zone you need to dial back your expectations]
