open. castle thorne
Who: Kyle & anyone in Thorne (+ a meeting with an NPC)
When: Post-Epulum. Bicycle shenanigans start before the storms hit Thorne. Ambrose chat occurs after.
Where: Castle Thorne courtyard, and town streets
What: Thorne is introduced to bicycles
Warnings: None yet!
[ Although the dust from the murder mystery at the Epulum has barely settled and is still fresh on Kahlil's mind, it just so happens to coincide with the completion of a small project he started pushing forward on two months ago.
The castle courtyard is now home to (2) bicycles. Though their use is primarily for Summoned couriers, others who may want to try them out aren't strictly discouraged. One model is a step-through design, the other a step-over. For anyone familiar with modern bicycles, you might be surprised (or alarmed) to see that while the frame is metal, the wheels are a combination of wood and leather. Further inspection will reveal they've been spelled with enchantments similar to the carriage wheels seen in Thorne, allowing the ride to be more smooth than it naturally ought to be. It's easy enough to find out that Istredd was responsible for this part, although the plans and at least one bicycle were allegedly assembled by a Summoned in the Free Cities.
There are attachments available, the step-through model has pegs on the back wheel for a second rider to stand, both have baskets on the front for packages, and a luggage rack behind the seat. They have little bells for alerting unexpecting pedestrians.
There's even a pair of training wheels that can be attached for anyone that thinks they might need them...
Please don't run anyone over, and try not to scare the horses too badly.
If you're looking for a lesson, Kahlil can be approached at the end of the day as he's checking them over. ]
( OOC: The bikes are officially available to couriers, but y'all are free to assume Kyle will give pretty much anyone permission to ride them around the courtyard as long as you don't plan on damaging or destroying them. These are the only bicycles in Thorne so assume some confusion and attention to be gained when riding in town. Horses are not particularly fond of them yet and may spook. )

As such, Dante does a double take as he walks through the courtyard, turning back around and taking a step closer to see what it is that Kyle is attending to. ]
Well, I'll be... is Thorne finally joining the rest of us in the modern age?

[ Kahlil greets Dante with a grin, straightening and stepping aside to allow him a closer look at the bicycle he'd been hunched over. He crosses his arms over his chest. ]
Not while we still have horses, anyway.
[ His gaze trails toward there other end of the courtyard, where some stablehand is shoveling a pile of manure. ]
