I take back every nasty thing I've ever said about this place before. I didn't think I'd ever see my baby again after I sold her when I left LA, but there she was, parked right outside of Morningside this morning.

Guess I'm gonna have to spend the rest of the day getting reacquainted with her.

	I've always loved those classic Camaros. Doubt this one will be coming through much either though. My old man taught me everything I need to know about keeping her in good shape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Saves me the trouble of trying to source parts. It's surprisingly easier to find some kind of thermo-magical spark plugs for whatever hovercraft gets pushed into Boyd's than it is to locate a timing belt for a Ford. I assume the car was your father's before you had it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Shit, I didn't even think about what a pain in the ass it's gonna be to find parts here. It was. He bought it new a couple years before I was born. Used to say he was glad I didn't show up earlier, since there's no way mom would have let him buy a two-seater if there was a baby on the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll send you a list of the people I use at the shop, though it's not extensive and probably requires you to explain the part you'll need in great detail. And if you're really pressed, Toph could probably make something that will work. And now you reap the benefits. Sounds like a good deal to me, especially if he taught you.

	Thanks. Appreciate it, man. It was definitely the hardest thing to part with when I wound up leaving LA. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anytime. I'd rather not waste my time or yours if you know how to fix it and are just missing a part. Needed the money or didn't have the space in the new place you were going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bit of both. I was headed to Germany. Wound up spending the last ten years before showing up here travelling the world, and it was hard enough finding the cash to get me from place to place, let alone a car. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Was the travel experience at least worthwhile? Sometimes giving up things important to you for something better takes the sting of it away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... don't really know. I was looking for someone, and I wound up here instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will it bother you that you're here and unable to continue that search? Did they know you were looking for them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2021-12-04 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	It did. It does. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm stuck here. But I guess if I have to be stuck anywhere, this place isn't so bad. Fucking weird, but not bad. And yeah, he knew. I'd almost caught up with him before I got brought here, but he'd managed to slip away at the last minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's been almost two years for me come January, and it never stops being weird. I can confidently say now, it's better than home though. Was he dangerous to others or just trying to hide from you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2021-12-05 12:47 am UTC (link)
	There are definitely parts of it that are better than home. Both, I guess. I spent two years trying to arrest him, but I'm not anymore. Maybe he thought I still was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you don't mind me asking, why the change of heart about arresting him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2021-12-05 01:21 am UTC (link)
	I... don't really know, honestly. A lot of things happened the last time I saw him. But he saved my life, and... I don't know, maybe I came around to seeing his point of view a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's nothing wrong with changing your mind after seeing another perspective. Not a lot of people could. They like digging their heels in, even if their opinion is skewed. Maybe you'll get another chance here to let him know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2021-12-05 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Hell, I'm the king of digging in my heels, but there gets to be a point where that's just not possible anymore. And yeah, maybe. I think he'd like it here. But I don't think it's likely he'd let himself get pulled in, however the hell that happens. (Reply to this) (Parent)
