So, I found out that the carnival has motorcycles.

[Jacob declares in a frustrated tone.]

Why can't we get our hands on one? How does that make any sense?

[He's a little bitter about it.]

[Yeah, that would have been an equally valid option to be considered.

Cloud's push was a strong one, being a super soldier, and getting it into the apartment wasn't quite as hard as it would have been otherwise, though Jacob's slip was unavoidable, and he retrieves the bike quickly.]

Sorry. Hand slipped.

[Jacob groans but the minor bruises are worth getting the bike into his apartment. He'll just have to make sure not to do anything else stupid for a few days. Once the bruises heal he can continue with his usual idiocy.]

It's cool. [He pushes himself up and adjusts the bike to sit on a thin kickstand. It isn't perfect but it'll let him work on the bike. Once he fully understands it he'll ride it more freely.] Well, you wanted to take a look. [Jacob waves at the bike, giving Cloud free-range while he heads over to close the windows.]

I think it's powered by magic. I haven't figured it out yet.

By magic? [He'd heard of mako-fueled bikes, but magic was a lot more direct.] Are you sure?

[Not that Cloud was an expert or anything.]

Well it isn't fuel...

[Jacob had been studying for his Master Tech certification and knew the basic parts of a motorcycle. This bike was missing a majority of those pieces.]

Here is the transmission that starts the motorcycle but it isn't connected to a traditional engine. This piece here would usually act as a spark plug but it seems to just connect these two parts. [He carefully drags the pad of his finger down through the motorcycles systems. Luckily they were all external systems. Otherwise Jacob would have had to take apart the bike to see what was inside of it.] This casing here likely has the energy source but there is no input for fuel. Which means that it runs off another type of energy.

The suspension, frame, breaks and petals all look to be a common construction but the weight that is usually counterbalanced by the fuel has changed the orientation of everything and I think this box here is just a counter weight welded to the frame.

Uh huh. [Cloud knows a lot less about bikes, and it might be a little weird that it doesn't run on petroleum, but that doesn't mean it's magic.]

Could it be some other kind of energy? Magic's a little vague.

[Even mako had a fuel port, though...]

Yeah... I have no idea.

[He glances up at Cloud.]

I don't know anything about magic or magic-like things. Do you?

Not really.

[He places his hands on his hips while he looked over the bike.]

Not like this, anyway.

Feel free to look all you want. I might have someone better with magic take a look but hopefully I can take it out for a spin too.

[When he's sure he won't break it.]

Not a bad idea.

[He looked over the bike again. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.]

If you want to take it for a spin, why bring it upstairs?

Just to make sure it isn't ridged to kill me.

[Jacob flashes Cloud a sardonic smile.]

I'm used to that kind of thing.

[He crosses his arms at that answer.]

So, if it's rigged to explode, you take the rest of the building with you?

[Jacob rolls his eyes.]

It isn't going to explode and if it looks armed I'll call Illyana. She'll have a solution.
