Characters: CT and you!
Location: Outside the city, somewhere along the way to shell's edge
Situation: CT is still having trouble believing that this is actually a turtle. So she's going to go and see for herself.
Warnings/Rating: none so far!
Notes: I'm good with either action or prose, feel free to post either!

[She'd been working as much as she could ever since the woman on the network had told her about the motorcycles for rent, and that it was possible to drive to the edge of the shell - or what she claims is the edge of the shell. Honestly, CT's still half-expecting a coast, or maybe nothing at all - maybe she'll just keep driving and driving until she has to turn back to avoid running out of fuel.

Or maybe she won't turn back at all. It's not as if there's anything keeping her here.

However, her goal for the moment remains the turtle's edge, and once she's got enough juulan, the first thing she does is go and pick out a motorcycle, paying the rental fee and packing it up with water and some food just in case. She wears her armor, knives tucked safely away - it's safer that way if she meets someone, and it's better protection than any other gear if she gets in an accident on the bike, too.

With a last look around, a cursory glance for anyone watching her movements, CT swings her leg over the bike and takes off, heading for the edge of town.]

[Out of hand is a good way to describe this, but B.A. doesn't hesitate in getting off his bike, rolling his shoulders, and putting up his fists. It doesn't look like anybody is walking away from this.]

((OOC: Hey there - sorry for the delay. I don't know about you, but I kind of want to see where this fight would go, but I don't know anything about Spartan armor or capabilities, so maybe we could have a chat and find out how the fight would go? I'm on plurk (@daichu) and AIM (@ellopoppies), or we could just keep going here.))

GAME OVER

[b_ad_a_ttitude]

The fight doesn't last very long. B.A. not only underestimated how advanced the metal suit was, but also how very heavy it was. Throwing his full weight into the other rider caused merely made her stumble a little, and an experimental punch glanced off some sort of shielding on the suit. Way out of his league, all he can do is try to deflect any blows. His success is minimal.

Thankfully, the other rider isn't interested in roughing him up too badly. The extent of the damage is bruises and wounded pride. They make sure B.A. is unable to follow, then take off on their bike. After taking a second to catch his breath, B.A. gets back on his bike and heads back to the city.

[It's nothing she wants to do, and she's careful to pull her punches and avoid doing lasting damage. Armor versus bare flesh is never a fair fight, though, and he'll definitely be feeling it tomorrow.

The fight is intense and nearly wordless, and over quickly. CT does just enough to ensure that she'll be left alone from here on out, and stands there, breathing hard and more upset than she'd expected to be as she watches him bend in half with the pain. When she's sure he's done, she gets on her motorcycle, and drives off without a look back.]
