In Which Celty Offers Bike Rides Instead of Headless Horse Rides
Who: Celty and close friends
What: CELTY GETS A MOTORCYCLE 2K16
Where: Around town
When: April 11 to April 17 or something along those lines
Life is struggles. Life has been nothing but exhaustion and suffering for several months now. And wouldn’t you know it, Celty’s been stuck in apartments and tours and concerts. She can’t believe this is the life she signed up for. Her schedule, her free-time, everything. Controlled by some asshole behind a desk. Sometimes it makes her want to tear out her hair.
But more than anything, she’s tired of staying still. She wants to be fast and free. And thanks to a recent purchase, that’s looking a much more possible. For weeks and weeks, she finds herself jittering with excitement despite her best efforts. It probably won’t be as great as she hopes. Maybe she just wasted all this time playing good and saving up for nothing.
And yet the moment its in her hands (after a standard driving test because that’s how the law works) it all comes together. The feeling of air whizzing past as she speeds down a street. The sights around her transforming into vague streaks of light. A profound sense of freedom. She feels like she’s flying off the ground. This is exactly what she’d been missing all this time.
Maybe she’ll even be able to share the experience.

Motorcycles have him clinging to Celty for dear life. Not that he doesn't trust her - far from it! But trust doesn't exactly alter how radically different this is from anything he's used to.
(Even if there's that stupid deja vu sense he's continually trying to repress.)

But Shen's too important to do that to him. She keeps within speed limits, keeps the drive calm and comfortable. Anywhere he wants to go is well within her abilities.

"And you choose to do this kind of thing!?" he asks, raising his voice in hopes she can hear - even if it's only so likely she'll respond verbally. This close, though, he should be able to feel her body language.

"With no guards looking over our shoulder? Of course!"
