[okay

she laughs, and pulls her helmet off, handing it off to Ann.]

Put this on. Then you put your feet on the footholds above the back wheel, and put your arms around my waist. It may seem scary at first, but I promise, once I get up to speed, there's no feeling like it in the world.

[ladytakamaki]

Okay...

[ ann's going to do just as cleo instructed: feet on the footholds, arms around cleo's waste. helmet's on. she's ready. ]

Alright. I'm in your hands now, Cleo.

[cattack]

I'll take it slow at first.

[She kicks the bike up, flipping up the kickstand, and starts off. Slow enough to hopefully not freak Ann out, but fast enough to get her a feel for the speed.

The bike itself, oddly, while making noise, doesn't seem to be giving off the loud roar, more a quiet hum, and the light displays on the dashboard show a language that is definitely not from Earth.

Also, that's definitely a sword hilt between the handlebars, just stuck in there like she stabbed it through her bike.]

What do you think? Ready to gun it?

[ladytakamaki]

[ ann can't see the dashboard but she's pretty much clinging onto cleo, even though they're not going too fast yet. she's still pretty nervous about losing her balance and falling off the bike or something, but once she starts to get more adjusted, she feels more ready to amp up the speed a little more. ]

Go for it!

[cattack]

[Yesssss.

She revs the engine, letting the bike rumble and roar, and shoots forward, letting the speed balance the bike, and the ride actually becomes smoother at a higher speed.

Cleo's grinning like an idiot while she drives, though, flattening her ears to make them more comfortable with the wind.]

So, how is it?

[ladytakamaki]

Whoa-!!

[ ann seriously wasn't expecting that at all but oh my god this is fast--ann closes her eyes, holding on tightly to cleo as they go. ]

S-Scary?! But it's--it's kinda fun!

[cattack]

Isn't it great?

[well

now it's time to scare her, taking a turn surprisingly fast, leaning the bike down into the turn until it looks like she might lose control and fall... and then the bike rights itself easily, Cleo looking smug as fuck.]

[ladytakamaki]

Whoo-hoo!!

[ looks like ann's starting to enjoy herself a little despite her still clinging onto cleo. her eyes are still closed, but damn if it doesn't feel like a roller coaster. she screams a little as cleo tilts the bike as far as it can go, and once it's back up, ann breathes a small sigh of relief. ]

You're killing me here, Cleo!

[cattack]

Nonsense. I'm a very safe driver!

[it's a joke.

...

she's trying, okay.]

[ladytakamaki]

Uh-huh, suuure.

[ which is why she was scared out of her mind. ]

I gotta admit, this is super fun! I didn't know you could drive a motorcycle!

[cattack]

You should have seen my last bike, if you like this.

[THAT'S PROBABLY NOT WORRYING AT ALL, RIGHT.]

I'm quite fond of it. I have a normal license, too, of course, but I can't imagine driving a car after having a bike.

[ladytakamaki]

I had no idea you were such a daredevil!

[ LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING... ]

[cattack]

What do you mean? A bike is a responsible choice!

[read: she's a daredevil when she can bullshit it to herself.]
