Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[CalamityJade]

"....Damnit, I will discuss your merits when you aren't planning on being a disembodied voice for too long, alright?" O did NOT have the time for that problem AND this problem, AND the idea that something else would cause a problem.

[yamikuronue]

"Sorry," he says, this time using his mouth as his eyes flutter open. "I appear to have fallen asleep. I believe La-- The Young Master is at a Texaco on the North side of town."

[accalia]

Julie: well onward great steel steed! let us catch up with him before he can get into too much trouble!

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian rolls his eyes as he drives. Seriously, why are they being THAT dramatic.

[yamikuronue]

Before long, he spies a supermarket; across from it is a tiny gas station, a Texaco, and at the edge, near the bushes, Lance leans against the bike, watching the gallon counter tick upward.

How much gas can this damn thing hold? he wonders, eager to get on the road before he's missed.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian spotted him easily enough...Lance had taken his bike, after all. Still, no need to spook him, just don't look at him and drive up like he was going to get gas...granted he might have heightened senses, but he's concentrating on wanting to leave more than paying attention around him.

[yamikuronue]

Lance drums his fingers impatiently against the chrome of the bike. He's slung a duffel bag across his back with a cross-body strap, and he's wearing a leather jacket but no helmet, as well as thick jeans and boots.

[accalia]

As the car stops at the gas station Julie jumps out of the open window and trots over to the motorcycle. Rearing up on her hind legs she places both front paws on the seat and barks happily, her tail wagging crazily behind her.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian had to laugh a little to himself. That was...a way of drawing attention, that's for sure. "Ah! There you are. We were hoping to catch up before you got TOO far." So, why not see how he'd reacted when they didn't immediatly jump to accusations and the like. Still, he couldn't keep the slight hint of irritation out of his voice, but it was better than what he'd originally planned.

[yamikuronue]

Lance spies Julie and frowns... then stiffens, as Wolf recognises her canine form.

By the time Obsidian is speaking, he's throwing his leg over the bike, shoving at Julie with his foot.

[accalia]

For her part Julie Quickly drops off the bike, but as soon as Lance has mounted she jumps up onto the seat behind him as if she has ridden motorcycles tandem for years

Julie: Please stop running, Siegfried found you this time he'll just do it again. Best stop wasting time and energy running from what you can't run away from.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian held his hands up. "Woah! Hold on, kid. Just...stop a minute and hear everyone out, alright?" He needed to keep Lance from bolting, and while Julie might delay him, he wasn't going to just stop...so now he had to do the stupid thing and stand in front of the bike.

[yamikuronue]

Lance snaps at Julie, "Shut up," before turning to his uncle.

"I don't know what this bitch has been telling you, but she's up to some fucking bullshit." He glares at Obsidian, eyes narrowed.

[accalia]

Julie: Nothing to do with bovine defecation my dear friend. Might want to keep your voice low like I am, otherwise you'll draw a crowd.

[CalamityJade]

"Maybe. Possibly. I know for a fact you're up to something, and that's not including stealing my fucking bike." Welp, that bit of holding his temper lasted pretty long. He managed to grab something from his coat. "So, how about we do this the easy way. You've about filled up, so why don't we take a bit of a walk."
