I meant here, in Crane City. I know there are mounts in the Avisle.

[If they're going to drive, they can't really do that in the fantasy world. Outside of carts with oxen or horses. Not as much fun as go karts or bumper cars...]

[defendure]

Oh, not here. I mean, I have a bike.

[ But not a motor one. Just a normal one. ]

[blastedass]

[And now the fun pronoun games behind.]

Here in Crane, or the ON world?

[defendure]

Here in Crane? I need it when I'm doing deliveries and stuff.

[ It's pretty fun. ]

[blastedass]

I'm not gonna ride around on your bike today. [Yeah no thanks.] If there aren't go karts or bumper cars here... You said there was rock climbing, right?

[defendure]

Huh? I thought you said there was a go kart place you wanted to go to...but, yeah! Rock climbing, arcade, roller skating...it's your choice.

[ After all, it's his day. ]

[blastedass]

I thought you meant back home!

[Katsuki frowns and thinks back to the conversation. Memories from home versus memories from this place. Which one... was the go karts in?

... this ... one. Right.]

No it was in this world. [He growls at the slip.] Damn memory overlay.

[defendure]

Oh! Oh, yeah, that happens. I actually never had a bike back home, but I've rented them before.

[ Not often, but enough that he had fun and knows what he's doing. Bike travel is a lot more common here. At home, Izuku mostly walked or took the subway. ]

[blastedass]

Didn't you borrow one a few times? I saw you riding a few times.

[Katsuki thought Izuku had one for a while, figuring they weren't that expensive. But then again, his parents bought him his bike and Katsuki didn't use it all that much, since he liked walking places with his friends. Sometimes, however...]

[defendure]

Mm, yeah, I did. Not a lot, but sometimes. [ For his family it was more a sense of space - Izuku didn't have a yard or anything, and what space he had in his room went to merchandise. If he'd made room his mom would have bought him a bike but otherwise since his friends as a kid only went riding occasionally it made more sense to rent or borrow. ]

But, here I had one all my own since I bike a lot I guess...? I'm also on the track team?

[blastedass]

You knew how to ride it enough to crash. [Requiring Katsuki to have to teach him. But there was only one or two lessons before the rift happened and Izuku had to learn via the scant basics and himself. He's pretty sure Izuku had no problem with a bike in this place. Growing up in a much better environment with Katsuki teaching him all about how to ride without any pride problems.

Well, okay so he still laughed when Izuku managed to hit the mailbox instead of any other area in that wide open space of road, sidewalk, and lawn all around them. Damn mailbox bike gravity.]

You always had good legs for running. [He couldn't even tease that Izuku was good at "running away" because Izuku never ran the fuck away. Always ran towards trouble.]

[defendure]

Ahaha...I like it, though. I mean, I could quit, but...it's kinda fun to keep up with?

[ It's not like he can do hero training to the same degree in school now since it's a normal school. But Izuku still attends for the academic reasons. Though school will be out for summer soon. ]

[blastedass]

You can't "quit" riding a bike. It sticks with you for life.

[That's why there's that saying about bicycle riding... Katsuki's doing amazing in school, getting top marks unless Iida and Yaoyorozu are somehow in this version of their world.

Still has time for sports and some hobbies at least. He's partial to basketball for now.]

[defendure]

Track team, I meant!

[ Of course he can't quit riding a bike! Well, knowing how anyway. Izuku just means he's keeping up several of his fake life hobbies because...

...well. He needs SOMETHING to do. ]

[blastedass]

Two recent "its", Deku!

[Sheesh. Though the same argument still applies! You never forget how to run, hurdle, jump, and the rest of those track variations either. Hmph! Katsuki keeps up with his own sports and stuff, because he needs shit to do and isn't always dicking around in the VR world.

Responsible.]

[defendure]

[ Well, of course he wouldn't forget, but he definitely could quit the team. Izuku shrugs. He's following Katsuki, by the way. figuring he knows where he's going. ]

Either way, I'm having fun doing it.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki would growl at him if he did. Izuku should keep the sport going and not bail on the team that has likely come to rely on him as a teammate. And yeah, the sound of wheels and motors is coming into audible "view" as they move down the street.]

Do you just do the running or all the events?

[Hurdle, long jump, etc.]

[defendure]

We-ell. I'm technically in both cross country and track, and mostly do the running for track. I do some long jump though? I mostly prefer the running parts though!

[ He has a lot of stamina if nothing else. ]

[blastedass]

They're the same thing.

[Not really, since one's more on endurance than the other, but still... running. Katsuki looks up as they round the corner and the sign for HotWheels shows up with a flaming wheel and all. (Oh yeah, I went there. Sue me.)

Close.]

[defendure]

They are not! I mean, cross country doesn't have as many events though so there's a lot of team overlap.

[ Joking business names are always acceptable. ]

[blastedass]

Which one are you better at?

[At least the place doesn't look extremely busy, likely due to the constant threat of rain.]

[defendure]

Hm...I've gotten pretty okay scores in both. But I do enjoy cross country more! I feel like it's really good training for stamina.

[ Also, yes. Most people are inside. ]

[blastedass]

[Well good thing the there are two inside tracks and some of the outside tracks are covered... but rain's rain, so they might be waiting longer with some tracks closed due to weather.

There is laser tag though...]

Stamina for running isn't the same as stamina for other activities.

[defendure]

[ Izuku's game for whatever Katsuki likes. It is his birthday, after all... ]

No, but it's nice to train for, don't you think?

[blastedass]

[He's going for the go karts. Came here to drive and feel the engine rumble!]

I'll keep my training to other activities. I run in the mornings.

[Sure, he could do a race or marathon if he wanted to, but it's not his focus.]
