Mustang finished shoving the leg-cannon into his pack on the side of his bike and looked back at Gizmo.

"No need for that now Gizmo. Jessie here is a NG-300 Speedster Hovercycle: She can hold two people at once and continue to fly without any problems. And don't worry, I'll turn down the speed so that you can keep up."

He looked at Eisen.

"You can ride right behind me as long as you don't mind some of my shenanigans and a bit of crazy flying. And as long as you don't mind gaining some altitude now and then."

Spike stirred from his sleep and looked over to where the others had been the night before. 'CRAP! I fell asleep, and now they're still here.'

He watched as one of them through a bunch of food bits into a tree cluster and started drooling, 'that looks tasty...I want it'

He slowly began to decend from the trees as he activated his chameleon scales, and slowly disappeared.

Eisen looked up at the power armor that Gizmo was in. He shifted his gaze to Mustang as his hovercycle.

He turned towards Gizmo. "No offence," he said, "but I think II'll take up Mustang's offer. I'm less likely to be stepped on if I fall off and survive."

by **Linguz** Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:25 pm

Gizmo picked up the Flying Titan and shrugged.

"Like I would drop this. Have it your way."

Mustang took a step back from his bike and gave a full wound up kick to the Rocket Engine, releasing a small amount of energy into the bike (1 PPE). Jessie roared to a start and lifted an inch or so off the ground in preparation for flight. He carefully stored Phillip in a small armored case and mounted the bike. He looked back and forth for a few moments then looked over at the rest of the group.

"This may sound a bit stupid, but I have no idea where the hell we are going."

by **Linguz** Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:56 pm

Gizmo looked their group over and shrugged.

"I guess we'll leave him behind. Sucks to be him."

He walked next to the vehicle where Mustang and Eisen were getting ready.

"I'll lead the way. I believe I remember the area around here had a nearby town."

He took off sprinting at 150 MPH.

which way?

by **Linguz** Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:37 pm

Towards the nearby town. He knows where it is.

by **Octavia** Thu Dec 29, 2011 11:06 pm

Mustang laughed and grabbed Eisen by his shirt, dragging him onto the back of his bike.

"He's beating us! I refuse to stand by and let Jessie be beaten by some random stranger!"

He jumped on, pulling his goggles over his eyes and spun throttle as far as it would go, instantly accelerating to 200 MPH, closing the distance between the bike and the armor.

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:00 am

Gizmo kept running as they caught up.

"We should stick together from now. Easier to fight things if we're together."

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:41 am

Mustang pulled up next to Gizmo, catching his words over Jessie's engines.

"That may be, but I won't be sticking round any town for long unless you two prove amusing or profitable."

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:47 am

"I'm traveling for the money. It sounds like we can make a deal outta this. Cut the price 60/40 my way."

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:59 am

(I don't think its a coincidence that the Gilda on my screen said "I know what your up to" as I read that deal).

Mustang frowned.

"60/40? On what? We haven't even found anything worth trading anywhere, and I'm sure as hell not putting any money I make off my own skills in this town into the pot for you to take from."

by Ferrous_Oxide Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:43 am

As Mustang and Gizmo were discussing a deal, Eisen was thinking about how he could get a cut of their profits.

"What about me?," he shouted over the roar of the engines, "One of you may easily get hurt, be it something small or large. With me around, you won't have to pay quite as much if you went to a clinic."

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:49 am

"That is IF we combine our skills to do a job. If one of us does a job alone, they get all the money."

Gizmo looked at Eisen.

"Are you coming along further than the next town too then? Then you'll get 30% I'll get 40%, and you, Mustang, you'll get the last 30%."

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:28 pm

Mustang started to weave the bike back and forth, accelerating and decelerating, flying circles around Gizmo.

"I just don't see how you deserve more credits than the rest of us. I don't know if I could buy many diamonds and bubblegum with 30%. Those and paperclips. Big ones."

by Ferrous_Oxide Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:21 pm

As Mustang weaved, Eisen grew nauseous.

"Excuse me," he said to Mustang, "Do you mind not doing that unless absolutely necessary. I'm afraid I might lose my lunch if this continues."

"As for the money," he continued with the conversation, once again raising his voice so that both Gizmo and Mustang could hear, "I'm ok with 30%. But know this, any...repairs...I have to make on your bodies is not included in that percentage."

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:11 pm

Gizmo continued to run while he spun circles.

"Maybe because with my suits I'd be doing the harder work? Give me a good reason why I should get the same amount as you."

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:34 pm

Mustang stopped the weaving and started to contemplate flying upside down, or maybe some more complex flight tricks that might remove one's stomach contents with force.

"Name one other mechanic that can make a bomb out of bubble gum a jewel and a tin can - One that can be detonated multiple times. And no one makes better toast than Phillip, and he stays with me."

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:38 pm

Gizmo laughed at his actions.

"Nobody but I'm sure that I could find others. Do you know anyone else that can carry 720 pounds? I doubt it."

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:22 pm

"Well, with a bit o' magical amplification, I'm sure I could get even Mr. Whimpy Doctor here to lift that much. I even got an enchantment on my armor right now - It's just impractical to keep on all the time, and its uncomfortable to wear. Besides - These pilot clothes are more comfortable."

by **Linguz** Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:52 pm

"So you can lift that much for as long as you want? I doubt it. Here, I'll conform. 30% each and the one who is most important gets the last 10%. You okay with that?"

by **Octavia** Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:54 pm

"I just think that an equal share should be given to each of us as long as none of us are sitting on our asses. How long 'till we reach this place anyway?"

by **Linguz** Sat Dec 31, 2011 12:31 am

"At 2.5 miles a minute? Let me do some math."

He mumbled some math next over the course of a
few seconds.

"2.5 equals 1. A fifth of 2.5 is .5. A fifth of 1 is .2. Therefore, 3 is 1.2. 60 times 2 divided by 10 is 120 divided by 10 is 12. 60 plus 12 is 72."

He spoke again to Mustang.

"A bit less than 72 seconds. We're a bit less then 3 miles away."

(Spit needs to give us the town info and such.)

by **Octavia** Sat Dec 31, 2011 12:55 am

(I wrote out a long explanation and list of several objects and situations that the above math and numbers could represent, then I just said fuck it and erased it, thought about it for a moment, and somehow it makes sense all of a sudden.)

by **Linguz** Sat Dec 31, 2011 1:30 am

(The math represents the miles and distance. 3 miles at 2.5 miles a minute takes 72 seconds. I split my math problems into junctions that really only make sense how it works to me at first. It's not hard to understand really. He does the same thing.)

by Spitfire Sat Dec 31, 2011 1:56 am

(I'll get town info posted asap, can't now, but when I can)

by **Linguz** Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:00 am

(Please and thanks. You have 72 seconds in character to do it. Also known as 48 hours before I make it up myself due to wanting to keep going.)
