I'll make this quick. The horses and I, here at Caer Scima - we're not working out. I know that one of you out there must be skilled in making ... transportation.

[He pauses. Rolls his eyes a little. ]

My previous suggestion for a bike was mocked mercilessly by my nephew. Seeing that he's vanished, there's no better opportunity to reach out for one. I'm willing to negotiate a price. Within reason.

[Another pause - this time, his locket shakes a little as he reaches for something out of sight there's a grainy view of his chest for a long moment before he settles back down, a cup of something frothy in his hands. ]

Also, as a matter of curiosity, just how wide is the World Wide Web at the Station? Have they evolved into social media?

Where would you want to go?

[infame]

Anywhere. The Station is my final destination.

[brainiest]

Oh... Do you know if the Station has a fireplace, by any chance?

[overdraws]

'Vanish'? Is that what they're calling it now?

[ SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HISTORY BUDDY ]

[infame]

I'm shocked and offended at that implication. He didn't even visit me once.

[So rude. ]

[overdraws]

You loitered in his loft back home, I don't see how that would stop you now.

[Hi, Peter. He still hates you.]

Could be because horses are pretty good at detecting pure evil. Maybe it's a sign that you should just, you know, stay. Like a good dog. Oh, wait, sorry, I used the word 'good'. I bet you don't know what that means. Hold on, maybe I have a dictionary around here so I can give you the definition.

[EYES PRACTICALLY ROLLING OUT OF HIS HEAD. ]

You really ought to get some new material.

[teenyoda]

You really ought to just... go away. There's a whole bunch of trees for you to wander and get lost in. Maybe you should try that. I bet you the trolls aren't really all that bad. Maybe you can find a bff.

[amplified]

And where, exactly, are you planning to go on this bike? Do you really think it can handle the forest terrain?

[infame]

[Ah, yes. Good. Still here. Excellent.

Brightly: ]

Mountain bikes are built for this terrain. And a trip, Lydia. A vacation, if you will. To civilized lands with WiFi.

[amplified]

Two weeks worth of this terrain? Please.

( Oh. Well, that's nice to know. ) Ah, so you're going to the Station. ( Note to self: do not go for at least ... until he leaves. )

[erythristic]

Unfortunately I can't assist in the search for a bicycle, but I must ask you--what is this "World Wide Web"?

[infame]

You're kidding. The internet?

[erythristic]

[she shakes her head.]

It's a term I'm unfamiliar with.

[ clarisse may have a chariot, but she's not entirely willing to share. especially not with strangers. still, she can't help but respond, mostly because she can't pass up the opportunity to mock people, either. ]

Aw, a bike? [ unless he means motorcycle. but that would actually be cool. ] With or without a little basket? I'm sure we could even find a little bell for you, too.

[Dryly:]

Don't forget to mention the stabilizers, too. It's been a while since I've rode.

[thebreakingwave]

Once I'm back at Caer Scima, I should be able to help transfigure something. I've never done a bicycle, but I can't imagine it should be too difficult.

[infame]

You're a magic user, then?

[seaside_cherry]

If you need to get somewhere specific, I might be able to help you. But it's nothing like a bike or a horse you can use to travel freely, you'll need something else. [Magical teleporting skills are great for arriving at your destination when they work, not so much for open exploration. And that's a big when.]I can try to help you find something. There must be more than one method of transport.

[Video]

[infame]

Something physical, if you please. I'd like to arrive in one piece.

[boutant]

Did you fall off one?

[ hi peter remember her she's less covered in ash this time ]

[infame]

The horses? No, they won't let me near.

[The words on their own she knows, of course, but she lacks understanding in the way he uses them, which in turn begs curiosity. But there's something more important that needs attending, first.]

I would offer my sincerest condolences for nephew, sir. Do you have any idea as to where he might have gone?

[infame]

Home seems like the most logical conclusion. I doubt he's been eaten by the local wilderness.
