[Hey Artemis you're finally getting a message in English.]

Hey, kid. You make that delivery for me?

We've similar descriptors, it seems.

What is your field of specialty, Mr. Haverford?

[reference_section]

I'm best with constructs, myself. You?

[graveyardmoon]

Potions and engineering - mechanical, electrical, runic.

[reference_section]

So you've been learning Earth stuff?

I've learned some. Their driving machines are complicated, though. I need to hire a tutor.

[graveyardmoon]

I have. It's really quite fascinating. I've done some work with alternative fuel systems on their vehicles.

I'm afraid I've never attempted to pilot one, however.

[reference_section]

It's harder than it looks. They're sensitive in ways you don't expect and the acceleration can be uneven. I did it without practicing once. It was enough to tell me it could get my fool ass killed.

[graveyardmoon]

Do you intend to learn? They seem to be falling out of use now that their primary fuel source has been cut off.

[reference_section]

I'm not sure, mostly for that reason. The infrastructure that made it work isn't here, either. Their world had huge networks of roads designed for them, but the merge put a stop to that.

[graveyardmoon]

It seems as though the skill would be a novelty more than anything of actual use, unless the situation changes significantly.

[reference_section]

Probably so. Except for those off-road vehicles, but even those would have a hard time against a monster.

[graveyardmoon]

The only ones I've seen which would be capable of handling monsters have been rather unfortunately commandeered by Pelusa.

[reference_section]

I heard about that. Pain in the ass, too. I liked Earth guns.

[graveyardmoon]

I never had the opportunity to use them, myself. The alchemical variety has sufficed.
