Stop being a strange coglomaration of people I know and I'll stop worrying.

What kind of bike are you riding?

[chrisisofaith]

One with two wheels and an engine.

I have no idea.

It has exposed gears and pipes and the like. Looks like some stuff from back home, but it was weird to me there too so who knows

[notrosecolored]

Very informative.

Thanks.

[chrisisofaith]

What? It's not got a name on it like some cars do!

It was made by someone I guess? And then given to my friend as a gift when that someone vanished. Besides, there's no motors were I come from remember?

[notrosecolored]

Yes, yes, I remember.

Do you need help with it? or in the finding one of your own?

[chrisisofaith]

Finding one of my own

Or fixing one up?

Heard that might be cheaper, but I've no reference either way

[notrosecolored]

That I can help you with. If you can find one that needs repairs I can get it up and running and it will save you money.

And I'll have a good time doing it.

[chrisisofaith]

Oh a two-for-one bike and help with your head? How can I resist?

Alright. I'll start looking

I can try to help with the fixing? Probably more like handing you things though, I've no mind for machines, even the little ones back home.

[notrosecolored]

Leave my head out of this.

I'll teach you as you go. It's going to need maintenance and it'll be better if you're not reliant on me for that. You can repay me by letting me take it out once in a while.

[chrisisofaith]

I would but unfortunately for us both, it seems to be attached.

Deal and done. Is it going to require book learning?

I'm not great at that.

[But he could try]

[notrosecolored]

How the hell did that happen?

No books. This is the listening and doing kind of learning.

[chrisisofaith]

I think something cursed you, that's the only explination

Good. That, I can do.

[notrosecolored]

My formal education is really hit and miss. What's up with you not liking books?

[chrisisofaith]

I love books books are great

I'm just shite at study

I had nobility schooling which was just my caretaker tutoring me, really, but I was crap at trying to memorize things like the history. at least accounting and poltics and manners can be learned through practice

why was your schooling hit or miss?

[notrosecolored]

So you learn better through doing than rote memorization that lacks context.

Because I was raised mostly orphanage run buy a telepath who fucked with my head enough most of my memories of that time period are still pretty questionable and then I was busy with the X-men.

[chrisisofaith]

That exactly. Give me something to put in my hands or see in action, I'll get there.

Why the fuck is your life so weird?
Why was he messing with your head? I hope you killed him for it.

[notrosecolored]

He has some strange obsession with me. I don't know exactly why.

And reports from my future say I'm working with him. I don't know why I'd do that, either. I'd rather kill him but he's got backup bodies and just... moves to a new one.

[chrisisofaith]

[...]

I wish I could be more mad on your behalf, but I don't think I can be.
There are some things worth working with bad people for.
And no I'm not going to explain that, just chalk it up to me being you or something and let it be

But I am sorry. It sucks.

[notrosecolored]

...have you ever been possessed by anyone terrible? Just out of curiosity.

And it doesn't really suck for me, at least yet. Like I said: Future.

[chrisisofaith]

I got possessed by a ghost once, tried to kill my friends. They had to fight me until they could knock me out cause I'm the only one who can un-possess someone of course.

True. Well, then I'm sorry for future you. Current you I can get drinks and a motorcycle project.

[notrosecolored]

Of course you did.

Future me's got a nice functioning threesome going and is just fine. Let's stick with the drinks and motorcycles.

[chrisisofaith]

Speaking from a functioning threesome, it does make things better.

Those two things aren't related for you, are they? Like ended up in the functional threesome because you've got to work with a shithead?

Also do you paint motorcycles?

[notrosecolored]

Probably a little, but not directly or any way that really matters.
It does make things better - it makes things better here, too. If nothing else I can direct them back to each other and get their attention off me, without worrying about them.

...I'm functionally color blind. You don't want me to paint anything.

[chrisisofaith]

Exactly the benefits.

I'd pick the colors you just hold the paintcan

what colors do they usually come in?

[notrosecolored]

Purple and orange.
