[In a very serious, business tone, Abel's answering machine sounds after any attempted calls that aren't responded to right away.]

You've reached Abel. I am not available at the moment, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If this is urgent, leave the line open.

And if this is Fitz I hope you're having a good day.

"Sure," Rawne says, perking up as well. He likes talking about machines. "Everything I've been taking apart has been preset in the computer. What have you been designing?"

Abel raises a finger for him to wait as he leans over to grab a data pad from where he'd set a clipboard earlier. It's a small thing, but when he turns it on, the holoscreen pops up and he leans in a little closer to that Rawne can see, pulling up a folder of some of his more recent builds. They're all rather futuristic, heavy and sleek looking bikes that wouldn't feel out of place in the 25th century.

"These are a few I've built recently, I design them in cad first, and then I bring that over to the enclosure and tweak the design there. I have taken an interest in the twentieth and twenty-first century designs I've seen. They weren't the most efficient vehicles I've ever seen, but they had some rather wild ideas mid century forward to the nineties." You have unlocked his gearhead special interest, Rawne and he is going to talk your ear off if you let him.

He leans over and looks at the holo images. "Those look cool. That one looks like it could go really fast."

He doesn't know a lot about specific stuff, but he's willing to listen to someone who does.

"I had a poster in my room growing up with this one in particular. Honestly they've been able to hit top speeds that most people are comfortable with since the twenty-first century, but Iris was showing me pod racing and I've thought about building my own." That definitely would need some special equipment and a pair of goggles.

"This last one can take curves like a champ pushing two forty."

"Two fourty?" He leans closer. "I wanna try that."

He really likes speed, ok?

"It can go faster than that on a straight." Though he certainly hasn't offered that kind of speed to anyone but Alexei, he thinks maybe he should.

"It's pretty loud, but I like hearing the sound of the engine."

Re: Gym Spam

[major_rawne]

He shrugs. "Loud's fine. I don't mind loud. At high speeds, all I hear is the wind, anyway."

"It's the best feeling though, kind of drowns out everything else." And drowning out his own thoughts and clearing his mind is something he's always chasing.

"We'll have to set up a date, go for a drive sometime. Or I can race you," his expression turns, playfully teasing, "I'll even go easy on you the first lap."

Re: Gym Spam

[major_rawne]

"How nice of you," he says, "to take it easy on me. I'd like that, though. To drive, sometime. Or race."

He's grinning, eager to take him on, even if he does lose.
