t had been more than a little irritating learning just how thoroughly the 'system' had changed the entire world once she finally got out of that damn tutorial. For one, cars just flat out weren't allowed anymore. Who in the hell does that? Cars and other modern vehicles were about the only way to get around large countries like the US. Not that that mattered anymore. All of the old, well worn roads that she had once been used to were now warped beyond recognition into a dust bowl of badlands. Not only that, but she'd been given a god damn warning prompt. It wasn't enough to take away all of her old paths and memories, no. Whatever had started this whole global collapse had decided to go ahead and make travelling the paths it had created in her old home exceedingly dangerous--read; stupid--to do for someone like her. Luckily, she'd not been alone. By some stroke of luck, a few old friends had been in the area.

Alone, they weren't worth much of a damn. But together they'd been able to just kind of book it from New York across the country. They'd pretty much done their level best to avoid any encounter that would have slowed them down. But, that didn't really do much to quell her deep set wanderlust. So, she had taken advantage of the Safe Zone's waypoint tech. And now, here she was. Sailing atop a smooth road of pure white light, astride a relatively powerful looking motorcycle. Of course, there was a dirt road just beneath the twilight road she had created. But she wasn't an idiot. That charming little dirt path hid what would be a truly rough ride that would ruin the idyllic look that England had going on for itself in it's 'in between' zone. This was the kind of life she had loved. Going where the wind took her, beheld to no one.

Was it perfect? No. For one, this wasn't a true vehicle. Not really. Sure, the speedometer claimed she was going eighty, but she knew better. The details of her class's core ability had been all too explicit in making it clear that she wouldn't be getting the kind of speed or size she was used to until she started pumping her 'stats' up in certain areas. It was a bit irritating being locked into small sizes. But, at least they tended to be pretty maneuverable. For now, she was keeping her eye out. The whole point of coming out to England had been that it's general area was a little more forgiving than the US's. That meant that there would be one of two things out here: Either monsters of a sufficiently low level, or other people. Right now, either option sounded good to Serafina. While she enjoyed being able to drive, there was only so much progress that could be made by just sailing down the open road this time.

Meanwhile, a red shape up ahead was becoming larger and larger, clearer and clearer. Some sort of vehicle, definitely. And it was moving! Just...very, very slowly.

[break][break]

"Alright! I can make it go, and make it turn. Now...how do I go faster?" Hana had gotten plenty of practice behind the wheel. Of a truck. On a paved street. But, this was the first time she'd driven a tractor down a dirt road. After a few minutes of trundling along without any incident, she'd begun doing her best to increase her speed. Without stalling. Or running into anything.

[break][break]

Still, the old red tractor was easily overtaken by Serafina's ride. The teen sat up straight in her seat as she heard another vehicle approaching, turning to watch it move closer. With one hand firmly on the wheel to keep the tractor pointed straight, she excitedly waved her other hand at the stranger. Hana hadn't really been expecting to run into anyone else out here!

CLASS/LEVEL Twilight Rider Level 3	NOTES 'Driving' all by yourself out here?

O

f all the things she could have seen riding down the countryside like this, Serafina hadn't expected to see an actual vehicle. As she got closer, it became more clear what it was. From a distance, all she'd really been able to make out was 'big' and 'red'. But now that she was closing in on the even slower moving vehicle, it became clear what she was approaching. It was a goddamn tractor, of all things.

In the sea of natural greens and browns, the red had stuck out, sure. But adding on the fact that it was well and truly a full blown machine made it stick out like the sorest, most broken thumb ever. Before she even realized what was going on, Serafina's motorcycle began to slow down, eventually coming to a near-stop next to the tractor. She supposed that was the benefit of a vehicle being directed by sheer force of will.

Of course, not wanting to be rude she returned the wave that was given to her, a smile being paired with it. "Having some trouble, are we?" She asked, her tone cheerful enough, albeit relatively teasing in its inflection and tone. While she was indeed poking fun at this other person, she wasn't just making idle conversation. She was paying attention to the tractor. Her pure white 'road' of twilight was stretched out rather close to her after all. But being this close meant she also noticed whenever the tractor started to stutter or jerk.

The other blonde was doing an admirable enough job of keeping it pointed and going straight. But it was almost painfully clear that she had no idea how to drive the vehicle she was seated in. Well, it wasn't fighting monsters. But at the very least, this was something she was more than capable of assisting with, even without using the gifts of The System. She just needed to be sure that this woman was genuinely having a problem before she offered up any help.

Hana returned both hands to the wheel, but she didn't really have to slow down. The tractor's normal speed was enough to keep pace with the motorcycle now. "Well, um, it's my first time driving one of these. They're a little different!" It was moving steadily enough, since she was no longer attempting to speed up or turn.

[break][break]

"Did you get a vehicle license too? Mine doesn't, like, make a road though..." Hana looked over the strange effect that extended out in front and behind Serafina's ride. "Did you get an upgraded version or something?" That seemed like something Earth-chan would do.

[break][break]

After a few moments of travelling, she piped up again. "Oh! This thing's been stuck in a field since all the vehicles were locked down. Someone asked me to drive it up the road and drop it off." The teen looked around the controls again. "...it's gonna take a while, though. I don't think it goes any faster."

CLASS/LEVEL Twilight Rider Level 3	NOTES Damn southern heritage...

S

erafina couldn't help but chuckle as this other blonde admitted what was frankly obvious to her: That she hadn't driven a tractor before. "I can see that. If I didn't know any better, I'd almost say that it looks like you never got the chance to get a license before the awakening, huh?" It was admittedly a bit of a reach, but her question would be met with another one. Particularly one regarding if she had a license or not herself.

"Well, it seems that the system itself didn't rightly care one way or the other how long you'd been driving before it took over. Licensed or not, you're locked out all the same. As for my ride and this little path of mine? Well, you know how it is. The initial offerings can be quite...different, from person to person."

Was there a real point to being vague? Not really. But it wasn't exactly like she was trying to shroud herself in mystery either.

It was easy to tell that what she was doing wasn't exactly mundane by the fact that she had folded her arms atop the handlebars as she spoke, and yet somehow remained on a straight line. That was when the other girl said something that intrigued her: this was a vehicle she was delivering to someone else. She just didn't know how to make it go faster. That made Serafina click her tongue.

"Ah, I reckon that's just cause ya don't know what yer lookin for." She said as she willed the road beneath her to fade. "Cut er off. I might not be allowed to drive this thing for you, but there's no rule that says I can't clamber on up there and walk you through getting things sped up. These things can go a fair bit faster than this molasses pace you've got going here."

She could hear it in the way she was speaking. That damned accent and some of the vocabulary she'd grown up with were making themselves apparent. She cleared her throat as she spoke up once more.

"Besides. It's not like I've got anything going on. There's been nothing spawning around here lately, so at least having the opportunity to put the good old mechanic and driving skills to use in getting this thing hauling ass would be a nice change." She said, the accent completely shifting to a more general 'American' one. Of course, the motorcycle she was on came to a halt as she spoke, only to fully dissipate as she stepped off of it.

"My name's Serafina. I would ask that you try not to call me by that though. Sera's fine. Some people have gone a bit on the weirder angle and called me Fina, though. How about you, kid? What's your name?"

Hana grinned sheepishly. "It's not really that common, where I was living. I picked it up pretty quickly though!" At least, she thought she had. The teen kept driving for a few seconds after Serafina slowed to a stop, needing to look down at the controls as she braked, then parked. The vehicle left rumbling in place as the other disappeared completely.

[break][break]

She was only confused for a few moments, though. "Ah, that's a pretty useful power." Hana smiled down at the other traveler. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Sera. My name's Hana." She gave her best seated half-bow, before looking over the tractor again.

[break][break]

There was just the one seat, but it did have some sort of rail or step on either side, for someone to stand on while sliding into the driver's seat. Hana shifted her feet over to the steps on her side, hands on the seat for support as she made room for Serafina to look things over. "I think it wants me to...change gears or something. But I've only figured out on, off, stop, and go." And turning, that was important too.

CLASS/LEVEL Twilight Rider Level 3	NOTES Damn system block..it's just a tractor!

T

he fact that she'd even been able to pick up that much was admittedly rather heartwarming for Serafina to see. Driving had always been a big part of her life. From living in the states--where you couldn't get much of anywhere without a car if you didn't live in a major city--to her own nomadic lifestyle. So to see someone still bothering to learn in a point in time where cars were not only being actively withheld, but where you could actively be teleported across the world by virtue of finding a safe zone? It was inspiring, to her at least.

So, without missing a beat, Serafina gestured for Hana to get back up on the tractor instead of getting down out of it. Instead of getting up into the tractor from that side, Serafina made a point of walking around the other side, grabbing the pull rail and pulling up onto the stairs. She couldn't get into the tractor itself, unfortunately. When she attempted to, a barrier popped up to rebuff her back onto the miniscule staircase. Yep, that was about right. With that in mind, she made a point of slipping off the jacket she'd been wearing, tossing it onto the metal semicircle that covered the back wheel so that she could lean back against it.

"Alright, I'll give you credit where it's due for recognizing a manual transmission when they've become so rare. You're right, you would need to shift gears to make this thing go faster." She said. Over the next few minutes, she made a point of slowly walking Hana through the control panel. What each little stick and nob did, what pedals were for what. Even how one would theoretically raise and lower a bucket that could be attached to this particular type of tractor. She even answered any questions that Hana had perhaps had about making this Tractor move. Once that was done, she looked at the young girl again.

"So, you think you've got a handle on things now? I can tag along with you, just in case something goes wrong with the tractor itself. It was a kind offer, and one that she would have offered even if Hana had known how to drive it in the first place. After all, it was certainly more interesting than simply wandering the countryside like she had been. This could certainly be a change of course that she didn't mind. After all, while wanderlust ran through her veins like blood, it was that feeling of community that had been her greatest comfort in the days before now. She would certainly have to rebuild. But in doing so, perhaps she could share those beliefs and ideals with the younger generation, like Hana here.

Hana hesitated for a few moments as Serafina gestured for her to return to the driver's seat. But, once the system prevented her potential teacher from getting any closer to demonstrate, Hana finally nodded and slipped back into place. "Um, thanks! I think my dad had one for a while...or maybe that was just for a TV show or something." The teen looked thoughtful for a moment, trying to recall when and why she'd seen the inside of a vehicle with a shifter knob. Oh well, not important.

[break][break]

The teen turned her attention back to the vehicle she was currently in as Serafina began her demonstration. Staying quiet, nodding along, eyes wide as she did her best to catch all the details. "Hmmm...I think that makes sense. I'll give it a shot, but...it might take me a few tries." From what Serafina had described to her, that didn't seem uncommon.

[break][break]

"If you could follow along, that would be great. Thank you, Miss Sera!" The musician beamed brightly at the suggestion, all smiles again. "This isn't, like, a real mission, so I don't think we'll get points for it or anything. But, he said they'd give me a snack or something when I dropped it off. I bet they'd have something for you, too! They also might have some other problem they need solved. That seems to happen whenever higher level people visit these places that are, um, out of the way."

[break][break]

Once Serafina had disembarked, Hana started the tractor moving again. It would take a bit of fumbling and a few stalls, but the teen eventually got the vehicle going relatively smoothly, steadily increasing its speed. Now to make it down the bumpy dirt road while keeping an eye out for the settlement she'd been pointed towards.

TAG Hana Sakuyuki	OUTFIT See First Post
CLASS/LEVEL Twilight Rider Level 3	NOTES Come on, gimme my ride back!

T

he request to follow along was understandable, even if there wasn't really a real job to be done here. With that in mind, Serafina chuckled and shrugged before grabbing her coat, slipping the thing back on as she hopped off of the wheel well. "Sounds like a plan to me. I'd just request you take it real slow for just a bit longer. I've still got a short wait before I can bring out one of my vehicles again." She explained as her feet hit the ground, and she flung one hand up into the air, gesturing for Hana to kick the tractor back on.

She didn't plan to talk while she was getting it started up. God knew her lungs and vocal cords didn't have the room or power to make her audible over the noise of an engine. Then of course, was the fact that the sound of good old fashioned machinery rumbling and purring had always been an almost..comforting sound to her. So much so that it brought a small smile to her face as the tractor kicked to life. It was nice to see that not everything in the world could be changed so easily. Truth be told, the noise did a lot to remind her of her earliest days as a Nomad.

There'd been a small group of wandering Backpackers and Bikers she'd run across in her first few months of travelling. Travelling with the group was where she'd picked up most of her skills with vehicle maintenance as well as the knowledge she had about living off the grid. Really, the companionship was the one thing that had made things fun in that first year. That group had ended when they'd all independently decided upon a different sight they wanted to see, different lands to visit. It wasn't dissimilar to the situation she'd found herself living in now, really.

But, it was time to return to reality. She had given her approval to the request to come with Hana. After all, what was the worst case scenario? It was just a walk to a nearby village, in the middle of a relatively safe area. But, her class's core ability was still on cooldown. That meant she was left to start walking as she watched the Tractor jerk forward and start rolling. All the while, she kept her eyes on the driver's seat.

If she noticed Hana starting to hesitate or the tractor itself start to move in a way that wasn't quite right, she called out to the poor girl, giving her instructions as best she could over the noise of the tractor's engine. All the while, silently wishing she hadn't dismissed her bike. Even with Hana going at a slow pace, each passing second meant that Serafina had to walk faster and faster, quickly leaving her preferred walking pace behind as the tractor got faster and faster. God damn it. Her speed walk turned into a jog, which quickly had to pick up into running. Just a few more seconds, and she'd be able to summon her own ride again.
