It wasn’t a regular occurrence that Freddie was asked to look at a bike - something to do with the sleepy nature of Saltight, he supposed, that most residents of the town felt they didn’t need that kind of a rush. He still maintained an interest in them, however, first kindled in a brief rebellious phase of his twenties when he had owned a motorcycle himself, and occasionally the knowledge paid off. The young woman who had entered the shop seemed a little nervous, which of course made him forget the late hour as he shot her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. “I think the cell service being awful is seen as a good thing by a lot of people around here,” he replied, making his way towards the door and the bike outside. Freddie held the door open for her as he went. “You know, the quiet beachfront town vibe appeals to them. Me included, if I’m honest.”

Freddie knelt down beside the bike for a cursory visual inspection. He could immediately see that it was a machine built for speed, very unlike the cruisers that he usually saw in Saltlight, and he looked up at the young woman with a curious expression. She did seem familiar. “So, uh… what happened? Just a loss of power? Any unusual noise?” he asked.

Fae relaxed a little as the other offered up a smile. She didn't get any weird vibes from him, but she was still new & little nervous to be out so late on her own. Hearing about how quiet it was around town was reassuring, though. She assumed that the odds of anything actually happening to her were pretty slim. She followed him, thanking the man as he held the door open for her. "I think I appreciated it until my bike broke down," she admitted, thinking of her manager's now limited access to her. "It's nice being able to stay mostly off the grid-until you find yourself in trouble."

Fae pretended not to catch the curiosity thrown her way. She could only hope he didn't recognize her. Usually, that was when the judgement started. Or the asking for autographs and what have you not. Both seemed uncomfortable. She instead shrugged, letting out a soft sigh. "No unusual noise-just a loss of power," she remarked, twisting at a curl. "I know I need to learn about fixing the bike myself, but I just never had time back home. Do you think you could fix it for me?"

to look at marcia, no one would ever see the wild child musician she’d once been; now, she was carrying around a diaper bag and keeping track of homework assignments, trying to figure out how to keep the lights on at home. at the moment, both her sisters were at dance class, while her younger brother was working at the garage and the littlest one was firmly on her hip while she interviewed people for the waitstaff positions she had open. “sorry, we’re closed right now, unless you’re interviewing,” the brunette spoke up as she heard the bell over the door ring, and glancing up from her papers, she offered a tired smile. “although, if you want to take something to go, we have freshly baked bolo do caco,”

It was late before Fae had realized she'd forgotten to eat. & that most places around town were probably closing soon. Groaning, she forced herself off of her balcony & onto her bike, making her way to the little diner close by. Seeing lights on, Fae pushed open the door, relieved that she would be able to get food. Her hopes & dreams were cut short by an employee informing her that the diner was indeed closed. "Shit," she muttered, helmet under her arm & not bothering to hide her disappointment. "I mean, if that's all you've got, I will take a piece." Pausing, she considered her options. She knew her manager would give her a huge lecture if she knew she was having dessert for dinner. Oh well. "Maybe two pieces. I haven't had dinner," she shared with a shrug, reaching for her wallet. Might as well go all in. "How much do I owe you?"

location: paws pet store

Vick had been thinking of getting a puppy for quite sometime, she wanted a companion, living alone and being single was great but could get lonely at times that having her own dog would be cute. She decided to go to Paws pet store and have a look at the dogs and see if there was one she loved. She didn’t realise the problem would be that once she was there they would all be too cute. As she looked around she looked at the person standing next to her, “How do you possibly choose?” She asked laughing a little as she was eyeing up the puppies. She had never had a dog before but she had always wanted one. “Like they are all so adorable.”

Fae was seriously bored. She'd began walking with no actual intention of getting anywhere. It was weird; she wasn't used to having so much time on her hands. Usually, she was double booked or, more recently, doing less than savory things at some club. Instead, she somehow found herself staring down some animals at a pet store. She'd never had time to even consider having one, & somehow the thought made her feel... strangely sad. A laugh drew her out of her thoughts, & she startled slightly before relaxing. "Dunno," she remarked, shrugging. "I guess, like, choose whichever one calls to you?" The suggestion felt stupid, but she didn't really think telling a stranger to consider logistics & pointing out how unrealistic pets were would be helpful. So, she bit her tongue, keeping things surface level.

location: ray’s garage

The first few drops of rain had fallen earlier that afternoon when the garage had been filled with people. It had now settled into a steady pour, pattering against the tin roof and splashing onto the concrete outside, and the sound of the water was relaxing to Freddie where he sat at the old, cluttered admin desk, filling in a couple of order forms for the next day. The streetlights had turned on a little while ago, and the garage was mostly dark except for the desk light beside him and one of the spotlights near the last car he had worked on. He hadn’t been expecting to see anyone else that day, especially after closing time, so when the knock came upon the side door he looked up in alarm. The window shutter wasn’t down and anyone outside would be able to see the lights, so perhaps they thought the garage was open late? Or maybe one of the other mechanics had forgotten their keys - it would hardly have been the first time. Freddie crossed the floor and opened the door a crack, already speaking. 

“Hey, we’re actually closed… there’s just me left. Is it something urgent?”

Fae had gotten into motorcycles about a year & a half ago. Mostly, it had been a way to piss her parents off & give her manager a heart attack. She had only intended for it to be a stunt for a few weeks at most, but the adrenaline rush had proved addicting. Thus, a few weeks had turned into a month which turned into a year, & she had yet to kick the habit. Though, the occasional breaking down had proven to be much less annoying in the arid Los Angeles climate. Here? An absolute pain in the ass. She groaned, feeling her hair start to curl up tightly, almost as if she hadn't spent close to an hour straightening it. To make matters worst, she'd broken down in a dead zone, meaning she was stuck walking her bike all the way to Ray's Garage, a place she'd only vaguely gotten to know but was now thankful she'd taken some time to actually stop by at least once. Sighing, she'd kept her helmet on & made the thirty minute trek from where ever the hell she was to the mechanic's, breathing a sigh of relief when she saw it. Taking her helmet off at the door, she pushed it open, not bothering to check the hours nor really caring if she might be about to make someone's life a little harder. Listening to the man she didn't really know speak, Fae shook out the water from her hair, biting down on her lip. "It kind of is, actually," she said, fiddling with the sleeve of her leather jacket. "My bike broke down & the cell service here is shit, dude. It's outside if you wouldn't mind taking a look at it. I'd really appreciate being able to get home tonight."
