On To The Next Project

[Allison Rogers]

Now that the motorbike was done, Allison had commandeered one of the maintenance bays for the university's vehicle and currently had a BMW 3-series on the lift, inspecting the undercarriage and shining a flashlight up into the nooks and crannies of the engine. She frowned and rubbed her chin, reaching up to pick at something with a suddenly clawed hand.

[Nick Varkan]

Nick wandered in from another bay, wearing a slightly oily work-shirt and a rag over one shoulder.

"I wondered why one of the X-Vans was parked outside."

[Allison Rogers]

"It's the holiday break. They aren't going to need it," she said, glancing over. "How's it going?"

[Nick Varkan]

"Good. The Rose & Crown is giving the band a second gig."

[Allison Rogers]

"That's pretty good. Always nice to get asked back," she said, moving out from under the car and lowering it back to the ground. The thing was obviously used, though the body panels still looked like they were in good shape.

[Nick Varkan]

"New project?" he asked.

[Allison Rogers]

"Can't ride motorcycles all winter and they're a pain to get to court on when it's raining."

[Nick Varkan]

"And then there's the wet cat thing?" he gently teased.

[Allison Rogers]

She flipped him the bird with her free hand. "I also wanted to take on a bigger project. Actually going to rip out most of the stock parts and replace them."

[Nick Varkan]

"Awesome. I think John knows a guy if you want any new tech toys in it... assuming Captain Work Ethic didn't build the damn things himself. Although personally I don't see the appeal of a lot of it."

[Allison Rogers]

"I think I'll just start with performance parts. I can always ask Dee for the tech toys if I need them."

[Nick Varkan]

"Ahh. Right. Her connections trump his by a long shot."

[Allison Rogers]

She went around to the side and popped the hood. "It's in pretty decent shape," she said, lifting the hood. "Good maintenance records."

[Nick Varkan]

He took a look. "Looks like it barely needs repair, engine-wise."

[Allison Rogers]

"But it's just so... mundane," she said, looking at the engine. "It needs a lot of help in that regard."

[Nick Varkan]

"That it does," he agreed with a laugh.

[Allison Rogers]

She fished around in the tool box and pulled out some tools. She jacked the car back up a bit. "Have to flush out the fluids first before I can rip it apart though."

[Nick Varkan]

"Need any extra hands?" he offered.

[Allison Rogers]

"Sure, so long as you don't mind getting a bit messy."

[Nick Varkan]

"Already there anyway," he shrugged.
