Furnado Animal Shelter, Wednesday

April happened to think that New Year's was about as stupid as holidays got, but it was a reason to down a bunch of beers and make Ben and Derek Skype her from The Bulge. She'd still wound up calling it a night early, and when she woke up in the new year, she didn't feel so lazy or hungover that she felt the need to take a day off.

Anyway, being at work today was probably a good idea strategically - she could take advantage of people's new year's resolutions. She powered on the desktop and typed up a sign.

be a better person this year and adopt an animal in need

It was a dick move, but she'd be shocked if it didn't get her any business.

"I don't know about 'deserve,' but you might as well. It should make things suck less."

She shrugged one shoulder. "And you can take me for rides on it and I'll yell at the other drivers for you."

Jono was so going to stick with 'deserve,' here.

//... You know, that actually sounds like a good time?//

He was perfectly capable of doing his own yelling, but there was always that added complication of 'people from realities without powers don't like when you talk into their head.'

And yelling in their heads was maybe appreciated even less.

It sounded like a good time to April, too. That was why she looked ever so slightly pleased for once. "One request," she noted. "Don't get one of those helmets with flames or a dragon on the side. You're better than that."

//Ugh, no. I've got enough flames in my life, I don't need to advertise it,// Jono replied, wrinkling his nose. //My helmet will be black, just like everything else I'm wearing.//

Because there were just some colours that were decidedly Jono-friendly, and they were all black.

April had a surprisingly colorful wardrobe for such an... April-ish girl, but she saw the appeal of black. She saw it a lot.

"Black bike, too?" she wondered. "Without any weird patterns on it?"

//Black bike,// Jono agreed. //If it has weird patterns there, it'll only be because I can't find a Norton without something on it, and that's not bloody likely to happen.//

Yes, Jono had a motorcycle make of preference.

"Why Norton?" April didn't know a single thing about motorcycles, incidentally.

//My first bike was a Norton,// Jono replied with a shrug of his shoulders. And then, after a moment's pause, he decided to elaborate further. //It's a British make.//

He had a bias.

"Gotcha." It was a good enough reason. "Guess motorcycles are the only case where that doesn't mean you have to drive it on the wrong side."

//No steering wheel, no confusion,// Jono agreed, looking pleased. //No blind spot, either. Really, it's my kind of ride.//
