"Oh how do ya do, young Willie McBride. D'ya mind if I sit here down by yer graveside," Derrick sang quietly to himself, his own voice drowned out by the roar of the bike beneath him. It wasn't his usual fair, but it was still a good song so he sang it.

Yeah. He was bored. To say the least. He'd finished work for the day, it was easy when he didn't actually have a job at the moment. There was always a need for a good motorcycle Mechanic but he'd also outed himself again accidentally the week previously at the shop. So with the boss aware of what he was he packed his few belongings, loaded the bike, and hit the road. He'd been getting tired of Sacramento anyway.

Now he wandered around Southern California and had found himself in the vicinity of Glendale. He pulled over, noting an orange Mustang down the block and parked the bike, backing it up against the curb. Cutting the engine he spun around in the saddle so he was laying down on the bike, legs stretched out across the pillion seat with his back resting on the tank.

Minutes later he tucked a freshly rolled cigarette between his lips and started patting his pockets for his lighter. "Feck," he muttered with a gusty sigh. The lighter was in his sale bags and he really didn't want to move to go digging for it. He looked around quickly for a second and, seeing no one around, lifted his index finger and pressed it to the tip of his smoke. A moment later a bright light sparked to life around the end of his finger and he puffed on the cig as the end caught.

"There's gotta be a bar around here somewhere," he groaned in a thick Irish accent and exhaled a cloud of smoke into the air. While he lounged and brooded he caught a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye and glanced over.

The girl was definitely hot. Slender, with longish dark hair and a decent figure. She climbed into the beat to hell orange Mustang and tried to start it, cursing when the vehicle failed to come to life.

She got out and opened the hood, looking at the engine within for a time with a pensive expression on her face. He was just about to go over and offer some help when she gave a furtive look around, much as he had, and waved her hand over the battery and the car started right up.

He ducked, eyes wide and watched her close the hood and get in the car. She was like him! He'd never met another Evo!

As she started to drive away he tossed his smoke and turned around on the bike. A press of his thumb had the engine roaring to life and he pulled away from the curb, following her before he had a chance to think about how stupid the whole idea was.

@Nallore
Well then kick right back. Don't take work's shit. Get your scientists to burn it's house down, with the lemons feet.


Got a team of scientists working on making exploding lemons right now! Because I'm Cave Johnson!

Mai'lo grunted, a noncommittal response to Bulwar but listened closely. When the wolves stepped from the brush he could hold back a slight grin that twisted his lips into a cracked caricature of a smile.

He rushed forward, right hand driving into his pocket as one of the two beasts lunged at him. At the last moment he reached out with his empty left hand and planted his palm on the top of the wolf's head and shoved, driving it's jaw down into the grass beneath their feet.

His hand came out of his pocket and clenched into a tight fist around the steel set of brass knuckles he had slipped on on his pocket. His hand flashed through the air three times, striking the beast about the head as it lay against the ground and he leaped back, watching as its health bar dropped into the low end of the yellow.

"Ha! Not bad at all." While the beast recovered he slipped the second set onto his left hand and took up a boxers stance, Sword skill ready as his fists began to glow with an eerie yellow light. "Bring it on, puppies," he taunted the wolves.
Apologies. Work has been kicking my butt.
And the rest of us are nothing but chopped liver. *sniffles*
But, @Nallore, that's not a comprehensive worlout. You're overworking certain muscles and neglecting others! *gasp* you monster!

Know the feeling though. I used to work construction and I was half dead by the end of each day.

I don't get up at a ridiculous time to workout ( <- what is this workout that you speak ;P ), but I do get up really early to have to go to work, and as of next year, I'll be pulling all nighters cause of work x'D

Thank Gods I love to write; that'll keep me entertained x'3


I work security at a warehouse distribution center. Lots of down time with short and frequent interruptions. Can get some good writing done here. But then I have kids at the house and such. So best thing is to get up early since I already leave before they're awake. That way I don't lose extra time with them ya know?
Anyone else around here that gets up at a stupid hour to workout because it's literally the only free time you have to get it in?
@Vicier I aim to confuse. :p

Honestly, though, basically it means could be worse. Not fantastic or amazing but not bad either.
