((Aren't I just so creative with these thread names? And general intro ideas? Anyway Sebastian has changed from xheroex. He's not so smart anymore, and his computer obsession has turned to a car obsession. I know more about cars, you see. So, before I start rambling (or have I already done so?) here's the rest:))

The school garage was large, very large. There was the odd idiot who thought that it was the size of a hangar, but Sebastian didn't believe an actual aeroplane would fit through the car-sized door. And he would know if there was an aeroplane in here, since he visited the garage at least twice a day.
Lately he had been spending his out-of-class time on restoring an old car he'd found at the wreckers. It had been rear-ended and looked awful, but the engine was still okay. Hopefully it would soon be zipping up and down the motorway, but right now it needed a bit of panel-beating.
Sebastian was a very amateur panel-beater. So far he'd succeeded in beating the panel far too flat, then making it too big to fit where it was meant to. Huffing, he chucked the panel on the ground in irritation (probably causing another bend).
He wasn't very tall, or very strong-looking. In fact, he was a bit weedy. His clothes were usually stained with grease, and he often got accused of being 'emo'. Occasionally, 'gay'. But there was something forceful about him; he exuded energy. He wasn't half-arsed with emotions: he was either giddily happy or entirely depressed. Right now, it was complete frustration. Nothing was good, everything was annoying and life simply sucked.
'I guess I could be emo if I wanted,' he thought to himself, using his greasy hands to pull his black fringe down over one eye. Nah, it had to look rediculous on him. It would be better to go for a walk, and come back when he felt better.
Swiping his fringe back into it's normal place, he got up and stomped off, fists clenched.

[Seaheart]

Seaheart walked into the garage. He didn't really know what he was looking for. Boredom?OK. Stick with that. OK. He watched as a boy walked by him. Seaheart closed his eyes before speaking. "Angry, aren't we? Missing some parts? Judging by your look.....of grease and just by your regular look and the car, your soem mechanic? Interested in cars or training to be a mechanic? IF you need any metal parts, come to me." He said referrign to his metal slime power. Seaheart looked around. Seaheart, in the past has had to make vehicles. Why? That's confidentail reasons but half the time it was to get away from whoever was chasing him. But for now? Bah.

[Arlaye]

Sebastian stopped, surprised and tried not to reel with embarrassment. Straightening up, he tried to act like he hadn't just been caught throwing a childlike tantrum. He plastered a forced-looking grin onto his face and nodded - yes, he was angry, and missing parts, and was trying to be a mechanic. "What d'you mean, come to you?" he asked, accidentally sounding rude. "Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen you before."

[Seaheart]

Seaheart looked at him. "Your a rude one, aren't you? Get some manners, and show respect. Now, what I mean by come to me is....." Seaheart made a long metal pipe that could go osmewhere in a car. He made bolts, a screwdriver, and even a plate for a tire. "That's what I mean. All I do is metal, but isn't that what's mostly used in the car? Metal parts with some electric devices thrown in? Most of the outer structure of the vehicle is made of it. But now you see is new vehicles with a new design, which are just really the same thing with a new design. Maybe stronger metal....if they really want to avoid accidents, instead of putting something to cushion the accident, make stronger metal and windows so no one get's hurt. Wouldn;t that be so much easier?" Seaheart said inspecting the car Sebastian had been working on.

[Arlaye]

Sebastian stepped back, with just a hint of a cower. "Sorry, didn't mean to be rude," he squeaked, but his eyes brightened at the sight of this guy's power. It would be even more useful than his own power, at least when it came to building cars. He took the pipe in his hands and measured it with his fingers, then tapped it on the ground to see if it would break. Lastly, he ran some electricity through it with his hands. Real metal it was.
"That's so cool!" he suddenly blurted. "What's your name? I'm Sebastian."

[Seaheart]

Seaheart grunted. Great, now these guy would be begging for parts. Then again....Seaheart saw the electricity and wondered....if that was his power, and with his metal powers, he could create vehicles more easily. Simply create it with needed parts, then get this guy to juice it. And this time, they wouldn;t break down. Seaheart didn't know what to exactly put in his motorcycles. He normally had to keep them going with his shadows if they broke down. But with Sebastian, he could put proper parts and maybe along with shadows......"My name is Seaheart." He said in his usualy indifferent voice. "So...your power.....electricity, it seems? If so, maybe we can...help eachother."

[Arlaye]

"Seaheart," Sebastian repeated. A name he would remember. "Yeah, my power is electricity. I probably could help you. It's not real fancy or anything, but pretty useful..." he added proudly. "When you said, 'help', what did you have in mind?" he asked curiously. There were plenty of things in the world that involved metal and electricity, in fact they usually went together. Maybe Seaheart would think of some interesting projects or something.

[Seaheart]

Seaheart simply replied "Vehicles. Preferably, the fastest ones there are. As long as you bring those to life for me, I'll create metal for you in return. I need getaway vehicles, and you simply want vehicles. Without metal, they cannot be created. Without electricity, they're useless. And even though I shortly had the power of electricity, it was a forced power so it stayed shortly. We could also create more. I'm not sure what yet.....your the mechanic. So if you think of something, I'll consider it depending on what it is of course." He said knowing he did have ideas in mind, but nothing this world could handle, or probaly this kid.

[Arlaye]

Sebastian grinned, and paced slowly towards the car. Seaheart might not know it, but he'd just released a maniac.
Lifting the bonnet, Sebastian began to pull a few pieces of rubber away from the tired old engine. "Rubber and plastic. Apart from those, anything is possible... I'm thinking of a machine that doesn't need fuel. Like those electric cars they make, but much quicker and more powerful. After all, I have an endless supply of electricity. A machine like that could outrun anything, just because you wouldn't have to stop for fuel. And it's not like I can't live on Red Bull."

[Seaheart]

Seaheart watched and sighed. He had thought simple. Everyone had those thoughts. Wonderful. He was paired up with someone who had the same idea as everyone else. But there was a flaw in his plan. "While you have an endless supply of electricity, you do not have an endless supply of energy. Using powers costs energy. What you need is a machine that recycles it's own energy. Think. You would need alot of energy to keep the device itself running. Basically, it's also impossible considering in order to keep the recycler's power up, you would need endless recyclers built within eachother." He said probaly bringing thr boy's hopes of the fastest and longest lasting car ever down.

[Arlaye]

The idea of electricity vs energy went straight over Sebastian's head. "Dude, I actually do have an endless supply of energy," he said exciteably, picking up the pole he'd dropped earlier. He held each end of it: it didn't look any different, but there was a light humming noise if you listened carefully. "I keep this up all day and all night. Even in my sleep. I've done it before. No jokes. Any amount you need. And get this: when the wheels turn, you can get energy out of that. Store it in some sort of rechargeable battery, and you're away again when you need it."

[Seaheart]

Seaheart listened and wondered. "Oh. So all you must do is use the wheel like some hamster running a wheel to supply energy. When the wheel moves, it generates electricity. We then just have to put some wires to direct it to the right spot. Actually.....we would have to customize the car to use electricty as oil. We then have to use two wheels to use one for oil, and the other for the engine or better yet.....the recycling battery. If we charge that with electricity, along with the wheels, it would use the energy it already has, along with new energy. Ok. So I think I got it.....we use two wheels for oil, two wheels for the engine, and the recycable battery for speed. Then we use all the wheels to send their spare energy to the recycable battery, supplying it with enough energy to last forever. Any flaws in that?" Seaheart said not excited or anything. It was pretty simple. He looked at the car a little more and then looked back to Sebastian. "That way, you just have to use your electric powers the first time, and that's it, using the least amount of energy."

[Arlaye]

Sebastian snapped his fingers, "You're onto it! I think we can do this. But one more thing: you gotta know that something will eventually go wrong, right? Wrong... right... hee hee. Uh, yes, anyway, I'll need to be able to power the thing manually," he zapped the pole again, "when it breaks down - as all cars do. And if everything's alright and it just needs a bit of extra power, I'll have it right here in my hands. Instant nos. You can only get so much out of oil, y'know. So, just a piece of metal that I can zap for some decent speed, and the normal system can be used for everyday driving."

[Seaheart]

Seaheart made a strong metal pole. He made it concentrated so it would absorb electricity better. At least 5 times more electricty than what was put in. It was small so it could be used quickly. "Here." He said handing it to him. "And everything must go wrong to balance right out." He said qith a yawn. This was a bit boring. He desired to get stronger, not talk on how to make unlimited energy. "So what do you want this car to look like? I'll use the metal then you can paint it over and put naything you want into it."

[Arlaye]

Sebastian took the pole and promptly tested it out for electricity. To his surprise, it conducted electricity better than most other things he'd gotten his hands on. The guy had talent.
"This should do it real nice. Uh, looks... don't really care, long as it's um, what's the word... aerodynamic! And it needs to have a spoiler, else you'll go over a bump or round a corner and lose it," he said, speaking even more quickly than before. "Think I've forgotten something... ah yes. Doors. Make sure they can open and close quickly. Nothing dumber than a getaway car with those wing doors that take all friggin day to open. Don't worry about the windshield and that, I can get some of that tough glass cut to fit." Grinning, he tried not to bounce with anticipation.
