#Docking Station Market share

Between the Black and Gray 8

First / Previous / Next

"Ma! Wait!" Fen ran down the hall after Ma-ren. Her long strides caught up quckly to the smaller K'laxi, even while she was doing her best to not run down the hall. "Ma, please. Let's talk"

"I don't know why we should now Fen, it seems like your mind is made up." Ma-ren kept walking down the hall, but she did slow down a little. "Seems like you're more into leaving and taking off with Gord than staying with your actual girlfriend."

"Oh, Ma." Fen sighed. "Hold up here. Let's sit and talk." Fen looked around. They were about halfway between the docks and their apartment. They had just made it onto their floor and there was a bistro near with chairs spilling out onto the hall. Fen walked over to a small table on the edge and sat, gesturing for Ma-ren to join her.

Ma-ren walked over and slumped into a chair. A server came by quickly and Fen ordered some tea. Only Tam'itarr had chamomile, so they had to just take the regular Gren herbal tea, but at least it was hot and gave their hands something to do. After they both sat for a moment and stared at nothing, Fen spoke.

"I'm sorry Ma."

Ma-ren looked over at Fen and her tail swished.

"I'm sorry for not thinking of you more. It's just..." Fen stopped and took a sip of tea. "It's just that this is the first new thing to happen here since forever. Someone that knows Spyglass! Someone that can fix her! We've been refugees our whole lives. Most of our parent's lives too. This is a chance for us to... to... not just be 'those humans and k'laxi up on forty three'" Fen shrugged. "I got wrapped up in what it could mean for us that I guess I didn't think enough about us."

"Hmmph." Ma-ren sipped her tea but her ears twitched in that way that Fen knew meant she was almost forgiven. They had known each other since they were kids, and have been together for years. They had their own share of arguments, this was just another step on the path. "I... think I understand what you mean, Fen. Gord and Spyglass could mean us being able to trade, to conduct business, to not be reliant on handouts from the station authorities and Tam'itarr's black market."

Ma-ren put her tea cup down carefully and looked at Fen. Her large eyes focused on her girlfriend. "But Fen. You know how Gord is getting parts. Tam'itarr is going to want to be paid back. If Gord decides to just leave, then what? We helped him; Tam'itarr is going to come after us for repayment." She stood and started pacing, agitated. "You saw him with those AI cubes right? He's hungry to get them into bodies - if he even can - you have to know that he's probably going to try and screw over Tam'itarr, right?"

Fen blinked. "What?"

Ma-ren put her hands on her hips; a human gesture that K'laxi had adopted years ago. "Fen, really? Gord has nothing holding him here except Spyglass and he wants her up and running. He asked for printable mass in addition to another reactor. You think he's just going to print more reactors? I guarantee he's going to try and print at least one other body. Probably more if he can offload those AI cores. He's trying to resurrect his race. We're small time to him."

"You really think Gord is going to rip off Tam'itarr?"

Ma-ren rolled her eyes and smiled. "It's a good thing you're pretty, Fen. What does Gord have keeping him here and honest? He wants Spyglass up and running. Once he does he can convince her to just... leave. We won't even have our Starjumper anymore. Sure, we won't have to put together fundraisers to pay her docking fees, but the dream of us being anything more than refugees dies. Us - all of us - will be well and truly stuck here."

"So what should we do?"

Ma-ren walked back over to the table and drained her tea. "First thing. We go home and eat. Second thing, we get a good night's sleep." Fen stood as well. Ma-ren put her arm around Fen's waist. "Maybe in the morning we'll have thought of something that doesn't involve either Tam'itarr going after us, or Gord going after us.

That evening brought relaxation, good food, and a good night's sleep, but the morning brought them no closer to figuring out what to do.

Fen and Ma-ren circled the main promenade walking and talking.

"Do we tell Tam'itarr?" Fen said. She was looking around as they walked. It was a normal day with nothing looking out of place, but ever since their talk last night, Fen seemed to be more alert.

"Tell him what? That we think that Gord is going to rip him off?" Ma-ren stopped to look at a shop selling fabric. Nobody in the main part of the station sold Human and K'laxi clothes, but there were plenty of fabric dealers. There were a few peopel who bought the fabric and made clothes for the humans and k'laxi up on forty three, and Ma-ren knew a few of them.

"I mean, yes? If we tell him, then if he does, Tam'itarr will know that we weren't in on it.

Ma-ren looked up and sighed. "You're probably right. Let's go find him."

Tam'itarr was in his usual place in his booth in his social club. He waved when he saw them enter. "Ma-ren! Fen! How good of you to come." He gestured for them to join him. "I have managed to secure a supply of printable mass for you and Gord after all! It will be delivered to Spyglass tomorrow. We should have the reactor by the end of the week as well. I am pleased that my people have been working so diligently."

The bartender brought over a cup of chamomile to each of them, inclined his head and walked away.

Ma-ren didn't touch her tea. "Tam'itarr, we..." She looked at Fen.

"We think Gord is going to try and rip you off." Fen slurped her tea and shrugged.

Tam'itarr's mouthparts waggled a laugh and he grinned hugely. "Ladies, you have no idea how happy I am to hear this news."

Fen blinked. "You are?"

Tam'itarr nodded. "Although, I should clarify how pleased I am to hear this news from you."

Now, Ma-ren blinked. "Why?"

"Why ladies, it means that you trust old Tam'itarr more than some upstart human who showed up out of nowhere and is trying to steal your Starjumper. It means that you realize where your home is, where your community is." Tam'itarr sat forward and clicked his claws. A bouncer walked out with a black case and set it down on the table. "This is for you." He slid it over to Ma-ren.

"What is it?"

"Open it and see. I promise, nothing bad."

Ma-ren carefully clicked the case open, and inside were two bundles of Stars and two red pins. Ma-ren's eyes flicked up to the gangster's.

"Think of it as... a bonus. You thought of me instead of Gord. You thought of your home first. That deserves to be rewarded. The Stars are a bonus for making... the right choice. The pins will show everyone on the station who you work for. They will let you enjoy certain privileges here that most Humans and K'laxi normally aren't allowed. Think of it as your species' first step on leaving the forty third and joining the rest of us." Tam'itarr regarded them kindly. "You had a difficult decision to make today, and you made the right one. I take care of my own, I need you to know that."

"What about Gord?" Fen tried to take her eyes of the money. It was more Stars than she had ever seen in her life at once.

"We'll take care of Gord. Don't think I didn't also think he was prime to try and pull one over on us. I'll take you along, then you can see what we do to folks who try and hurt the community." Tam'itarr clicked his claws again and two bouncers appeared. He bent over and spoke to them softly, and they nodded once and melted away. "I would still like for Spyglass to be repaired, and for now Gord is the only one who can do it. We're going to continue to deliver what we promised and not mention anything." He looked at them. "If Gord needs your help, give it. In fact, volunteer to help. See if you can get him to show you how stuff works. Once he's gone, I'll need people who can operate my ship."

He stood up and walked over to their side of the table and placed his large hands on each of their shoulders. "From today on, you work for me. I promise, we'll do great things together."

Sacred Moments (Batman AU) Part 2

Masterpost

The meeting was on the docks, surrounded by shipping containers piled high in maze-like configurations. The gang that called the meeting made their way through the winding tunnels in small black vans, and one sleek black sedan. They got set up, guards exiting the vans and taking up stations, forming a perimeter around the junction. Black mask comes out of the sedan’s backseat to lean against the trunk, waiting for his guest to arrive. 

Red Hood had made himself known quickly. Gaining territory and followers in Gotham the way outsiders usually struggle to do for years without making any headway. This place isn’t friendly to outsiders, it takes a special something to make a home here, something that most people only receive by rights of growing up here, making a living on these streets, dealing with the dark heart of Gotham all their lives. 

So, though no one truly knew where Hood had come from, Roman knew that he was a Gothamite. Only a Gothamite could so quickly make a home here. Only a Gothamite would be so stupid and crazy as to take a name left by the Joker and make it their own. And while dealing with strangers is difficult, no one in Gotham is truly a stranger to one another. They both have the same streets forming their veins, smog in their blood and toxins in their mouths. Black Mask knows one thing that unites the city is that stupid Wayne boy and the way it translates to the shadows that make up Gotham as greed and power. Almost every big-name player in Gotham has tried at least once to mess with the Wayne family. But Black Mask doesn’t play at the level of holding up galas for pocket change. And though the boy Wayne adopted does make nice catnip for those looking for a ransom, Black Mask has thought bigger. And more dramatic, but he’s from Gotham, drama thrives here. 

Red Hood approaches on his bike and the guards let him pass easily. He parks and his boots thud the ground with every step.

“What do you want Mask? We have no shared business.”

“That may be true for now, but you're cutting into the drug trade and I wanted to step in early for territory negotiations.”

“Didn’t peg you for a negotiator.”

“I’m a businessman, and the Alley has a lot of business.” Roman stood up straight, pushing off the car. “I have something here I am willing to give you and in return I’m hoping to be able to sell closer to the Alley than my competitors.”

“I’m not stupid, I know better than to think I can stop the drug trade. But I don’t allow dealings with kids. Not as buyers, not as sellers, not as runners. I don’t think you’ll be able to follow the rules.”

“Your rules have made a nice open market. To be the only one selling to them would be a large increase in profits.” 

Hood brings his hands closer to his guns. Roman waves him off.

“There is little need for that, I don’t want any part of your Alley. They can barely afford my goods as it is. Besides, you are highly outnumbered.”

“I don’t negotiate about kids.” Hood growled. “You leave them out of your business or you business stays out of my Alley.”

“Do you negotiate for kids?” Roman smirks. “I mean, you haven’t even asked what I’ve brought you.”

Hood becomes a deathly still, poised like a snake and waiting on a breath, whole body a hairpin trigger. “Do you have a child right now?” There is an amount of shock in his voice, even through the modulator, that Roman takes great amusement in.

Roman hums. “I mean she’s barely a child anymore. Sixteen, and almost seventeen at that.” He clicks his tongue. 

“You kidnapped a child.” There is a thud from the trunk behind Roman.

“Ah, it seems she’s awake now.” His grin is slow and syrupy but does nothing to soften the rest of his face. “See, I had to find this girl in particular. Her value lies far beyond the fact that she’s young. But it took a long time to find her. Too long for her to end up being good for what I had planned for her. That Wayne brat died before we found her. But she could still be useful to you, or at the very least you could help her out some. She is very far from home.”

Hood says nothing, his mind racing. 

“What’ll it be Hood, you interested? If not, I can alway find a use for her somehow. She won’t be worth as much as I had hoped, but I’m sure Wayne will find her interesting either way.”

“What does she have to do with the Waynes?” Hood asks, an edge to his voice that wasn’t there before. Roman is glad to have sparked an interest, this is her main feature. “That brat that the Waynes adopted, the second one, he lived on the street. He was known here, so when he was formally adopted and all the knowledge about him became worth something we decided to find his soulmate. She would have been worth more if the brat was still alive to fight with daddy for her.” Roman frowned at the change in plans, still irritated by the time lost and plans gone to waste. “But she is still a pretty little thing.” Roman shrugs.

“Let me see the mark.” Hood growled out.

“Of course, you can inspect your property before the deal is finalized, but first I would like to talk about returns.”

“What exactly do you want?”

“Your territory, the Bowery and Crime Alley, can be yours.” Roman smirks at Hood. “I know better than to intrude, and your population is too poor to be of much use to me. But your territory is getting close to the university and I want to be able to continue my business there without interference.”

Red Hood’s territory was getting close, he was only a few streets away. The people living at the university would be a good crowd, with enough money to spend on University there’s enough money to spend on drugs. Hood could see why Sionis wanted access to the area. Right now Hood’s territory included a stretch of a few blocks that separated the university from Sionis’s territory and Hood's guys had been keeping his runner’s from passing through. This had ended up with Hood confiscating a fair amount of Sionis’ goods and money from the dealings. 

“Show me the girl.” Hood demanded. “And we can discuss your passage through my territory.”

“Are you staying onboard for shore leave?” Daniel asks.

They’re both in Max’s quarters. Which doesn’t mean much considering Daniel’s quarters are only four rooms away. Though, everyone on the Nomad knows that Max’s quarters have been the Verstappen-Ricciardo quarters since the start of her second voyage. The medical crew would ping Max’s quarters if they ever needed Daniel, same with any urgent messages from the commanding officers. Daniel’s clothes are stacked inside of Max’s closet and Daniel’s blue uniform hangs beside Max’s red on the rack. 

“Max...” Daniel whines. They’re both lying on the bed. These beds weren’t made for two people. Even if both of them have lieutenant commander privileges, Starfleet isn’t particularly encouraging bed-sharing between personnel. They make it work. Daniel is a chronic cuddler and Max is a chronic Daniel-er. 

Daniel is lying on Max’s chest. They’re both wearing loose shirts and shorts. Both of them know that with all the privileges of being high-ranking officers, they have the responsibility of being the first people called in any emergencies. In short, they don’t have the privilege of sleeping naked anymore. 

Max already has his eyes closed and only lets out a short grunt as Daniel pokes him in the chest. The thing is, Max enjoys a good night out as much as anyone whose job is to be cooped up in a skyscraper-sized Starship. But it’s already passed the halfway point of their deep space exploration. Which means that the Nomad will need more reparations and inspections before they can come back to Earth. During shore leaves, it’s the best moment to do inspections since there’s no rush to turn on the warp core for a speedy exit. Max knows it. Daniel knows it too. 

But the thing is, it’s been a while since Max has gone out on a date with Daniel. During their last shore leave, they were running the warp core a little too much after a hostile encounter with some Klingons. Forcing them to retreat after attempting to contact any nearby vessels for aid. Starfleet informed them to dock on a nearby known friendly planet and Captain Horner declared a shore leave as the engineering and operations team worked night and day to fix everything. Safe to say, Max did not have enough time to enjoy the days off. 

Neither did Daniel. 

After the announcement, Max told Daniel that he should spend some time off too. He and his crew were running on fumes after taking care of all the injured. The planet that they docked at was known for their night markets and after a quick search, famous for their grilled—something? Daniel read out loud from an article that the flavour is similar to an Earth grilled barbeque and Max knew that it was one of Daniel’s vices. 

Daniel had taken a look at him and told him that he’d bring something nice back. On the first night of the leave, Daniel showed off all the things that he brought back and hand-fed Max something grilled on a stick. Max had been too tired to notice what it was he was eating other than the fact that it was good and Daniel was feeding him. Then Daniel proceeded to hole himself in Max’s office for the rest of the shore leave and declared himself the “Max recharging station!” whenever Max got too frustrated during repairs. 

It was safe to say that many engineers only had their heads still stuck above their shoulders because of the “recharging station.” 

(What Max doesn’t know is that the engineering department had sent Daniel a box of nuts-free chocolates.)

“Where are we going?” Max decides to say. 

Daniel rolls over him to grab his data pad off the table and the screen immediately lights up. Max scrunches his nose as he tries to cover his eyes with his arm and Daniel says a quick, “Sorry.” 

“Holy shit Max. We’re docking on a beach planet,” Daniel says.

Max mumbles an affirmative. 

“You wanna go surfing? Look, Max,” Daniel rolls back to face Max and tries to shove the data pad in front of his face. Max barely opened his eyes before he turned his body away. 

“Max, c’mon babe.”

Max mumbles—“Whatever you want.”

“Sorry I didn’t catch that babe, what’d you say?” 

Not wanting his sleep to further be interrupted, Max fully opens his eyes before rolling back to face Daniel. He’s scrolling endlessly on the datapad, more than likely just looking at what the planet has to offer. Max huffs. 

“Daniel. I obviously have no preference over what we should do. I just want to enjoy some time with you,” Max says earnestly. Daniel turns his head to look at him, smiling widely. He turns the datapad off and puts it back on the table. Then, snuggles closer to Max until their noses touch each other. 

Max had closed his eyes already when Daniel suddenly asked him, “D’you wanna know something, babe?” 

Max simply acknowledges him with a nod. 

“I like you so much.” Max still has eyes closed but he blindly throws his arm around where he guesses Daniel’s waist is to get them closer together. He uses the opportunity to nuzzle his nose to Daniel’s collarbones. 

“I like you so much too.”

Been reading the murderbot diaries (again), so now I can't stop thinking about a rogue secunit (this particular company markets them as a Hybrid Organic-Bot (it - he calls himself Hob, yes he knows it wasn't very creative)) breaking free of corporate control and hiding away on the (currently unmanned) research transport vessel Morpheus, which is controlled by a very secret (and utterly terrifying) experimental AI that Hob nicknames Dream, and which could destroy him in less than a second if it so chose

Instead it takes Hob to whichever system he was trying to get to in exchange for Hob sharing both his stored media files and also stories of the things he got up to while he was still pretending to be a good, obedient secunit. Dream insists that it's because he's interested in Hob's unique perspective, Hob thinks it's because Dream's lonely when he doesn't have a crew aboard and Dream is so mad that he won't let Hob back aboard from whichever station they're docked at, and then later fails to make the rendezvous at another port

(he'd actually been infected with malware by Burgess, who had then taken control of Morpheus and was trying to figure out how it/Dream worked, right up until a murderously angry rogue secunit catches up to them)

(wip wednesday)

just sharing a lil writing excerpt from an in-progress one shot and yeah i guess i'm the kind of bitch to be like "oh this is just porn without plot haha, soo smutty 😈😈😈" and then kick it off with a solid thousand words of this shit

If you'd watched her from a drone's-eye vantage for her entire journey — from the front door of her Japantown apartment, across the dark water, through the cheer of Kabuki and into the darkness of the docks — if you'd been buzzing alongside her all the while, you'd have spotted the transformation somewhere between Kabuki Central station and the edge of the marketplace.

You'd have seen her begin the evening as a bright-eyed twentysomething city girl in her cutest new jacket and her favorite old boots. Another lost lamb still mapping out her life, and that little bounce in her step betrayed an innocently enduring affection for this diamond cage of a town. As she trotted through Kabuki Market you'd have believed she was heading out to meet friends, or a date, or just to check out what was new in the ever-shifting landscape of the metropolis. You'd have seen the change as she slipped out of the glaring streetlights and melted into the darkness of the waterfront. Subtle, but plain as day if you were looking for it: a hardening of the eyes, a tension in the jaw. The lamb stepping into the skin of the wolf, growing hungrier and cannier with each bootfall. Fingers brushing the glint of a pistol's handle as the ingenue went off-duty and the mercenary clocked in. You'd have noticed this, but you wouldn't have thought twice about it either way. Not in this place of layered duplicities; of masks worn over masks. Night City makes skinwalkers of us all.

Blurb #15

I'm going to try to share 70 blurbs from my WIPs and unfinished fics to celebrate reaching 70 posted fics! To help with this endeavor, please feel free to send me a word or a fandom you know I write for, and I'll share the blurb. IDK if I'll get 70 prompts, but let's try it! Send as many as you want!

New Paris, the jewel of the stars. A luxury ship with only the finest crew for the most regal of clients. After all, not just any star ship could sail through the heavens. It took a Cracker Jack crew, led by an experienced captain to traverse the vast expanse of ever changing space. A hull ornately detailed with rich blue paint and gold leaf molding. Five ivory star-sails, only the most technologically advanced to propel the ship at hyper speeds. And three engines, bolstered with nuclear power that beat the cosmos into submission.

This was the pride of Andre Bourgeois, the ship’s captain.

This was to be Adrien Agreste and his father’s new home for the next six months.

It was daunting, but rarely was change in life not so.

Adrien stood at the dock of the station, staring up at the massive ship with nervous eyes and a quivering stomach.

“Take one last look at that place,” said his father’s cold tone. “It’s likely you will never see it again.”

‘That place’ being home. The colony on which he was born and raised. A beautiful place, with teeming gardens and mountains of crystals that glittered in the duel sunlight. His mother had loved it here in their quiet villa.

But now he was 21, and the rest of his life was beckoning.

Steps thundered down the ramp leading to the ship, coming from two large men and a tiny woman. One man wore a fine blue and gold suit that matched the ship, and a wide brimmed hat with a feather.

The other followed a few steps behind, wearing just a white shirt and trousers, with a red belt around his waist. He had a mustache and kind eyes.

The woman wore a nice black dress with a white apron.

“Welcome welcome!” Said the first man. “Duke Gabriel of Agreste, and Prince Adrien of Agreste, it’s an honor to have you aboard my vessel. I am Captain Andre Bourgeois. You may call me Captain or Andre, whatever you prefer.”

“Thank you, Captain Bourgeois. My son and I are grateful to you and your crew.” Gabriel then gestured to the woman standing with them. “This is my steward, Nathalie Sancoeur. She will also be joining us.”

“The more the merrier.” Said the captain with a smile. “This is Tom Dupain, our chief cook, and his wife Sabine. They are in charge of hospitality aboard the ship. If there’s anything about your living quarters that does not meet your standards, please speak to them.”

Tom said, “I will be taking your bags to your rooms, and then I will be making one last trip to the market before we set sail. Any allergies I need to be aware of?”

“My son is allergic to feathers, and I can’t eat mollusks.”

“No escargot then? No complaints here.” Tom smiled broadly.

“Please,” began the Sabine. “If you will follow me, I’ll show you to your quarters.”

The group climbed the ramp, and surfaced on the deck, where crew were hard at work preparing for launch.

The captain blew a whistle and shouted, “attention!”

The crew hurriedly fell in line by rank, rushing to their designed spots.

Once they were all accounted for, the Captain spoke again, “I will repeat this again for anyone who wasn’t listening the first seven times I briefed the mission.” He gestured to the guests. “His Royal Highness Prince Adrien, and his father Duke Gabriel of Agreste are our esteemed guests for this voyage. We will be escorting them to the settlement of Agreste for the Prince’s coronation. This will be a six month journey, with seven ports of call. During this voyage, I expect you all to treat our guests with as much honor and dignity that a group of spacedogs can muster. Shenanigans and tomfoolery will not be tolerated. All those who break this rule will be locked in the brig and then escorted off the ship at the next port. Do I make myself clear?”

The crew answered in perfect unison. “Sir, yes sir!”

“Then as you were.”

Just as they had assembled, so they departed back to work.

“They are a good group,” the captain assured. “You just have to keep expectations high.”

“Certainly.” The duke agreed.

“Now, I will make brief introductions to my most essential crew, who you may be interacting with during your stay.”

A stout, red headed man with a smaller hat stood hovering nearby, awaiting orders.

“This is my first mate, Roger Raincomprix. If you can’t find me, please consult him with any concerns.”

“I am specifically in charge of the crew. If someone is out of line with you, Your Majesty, please notify me and I will make sure they meet just punishment.”

“Thank you, sir,” Adrien bobbed his head.

“Second Mate Nino Lahiffe is in charge of Navigation. He’s up on the half deck by the wheel. The auburn woman next to him is his wife, Alya, the cartographer.” He pointed to the couple, who were peering at and discussing a star map.

The Ultimate Resource for Nearby Transportation Options

Navigating a city can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to figure out the best way to get from point A to B. Fortunately, transportation services near me offer a variety of options that cater to your travel needs. Whether you're commuting for work, exploring new neighborhoods, or just running errands, having access to diverse modes of transport makes life easier and more enjoyable.

From public transit systems bustling with activity to convenient ridesharing apps at your fingertips, there’s no shortage of ways to move around town. In this resourceful guide, we’ll delve into all the different transportation options available nearby. Let's uncover what suits your lifestyle and discover how technology is shaping our future commute!

Public Transportation

Public transportation offers a reliable alternative for getting around town. Buses, subways, and trains connect neighborhoods efficiently. They provide an affordable option for those looking to save on travel costs.

Using public transit can reduce your carbon footprint too. Fewer cars on the road mean less pollution and traffic congestion. Plus, many cities are investing in greener technologies to enhance their services.

Accessibility is another major advantage of public transport. Most systems cater to people with disabilities, ensuring everyone can navigate the city with ease.

For commuters, it’s a chance to relax or catch up on tasks during the ride. Whether you prefer reading or listening to music, time spent waiting isn’t wasted when you’re not behind the wheel.

Finding schedules and routes is often just a click away through apps and websites dedicated to local transportation services near me. It makes planning your journey simpler than ever before.

Ridesharing Services

Ridesharing services have transformed how we navigate our cities. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can summon a ride within minutes. This convenience is hard to beat.

Popular platforms like Uber and Lyft dominate the market, offering various options from economy rides to luxury vehicles. Whether you're commuting for work or heading out for an evening with friends, ridesharing fills the gap between public transportation and personal vehicles.

Safety is also prioritized in these services. Riders can share their trip details with loved ones and track their driver's location in real time.

Moreover, many companies are moving towards eco-friendliness by introducing electric vehicle options into their fleets. This shift supports sustainability while meeting rising consumer demand for greener travel solutions.

With flexible payment methods and instant availability, ridesharing continues to be a preferred choice for urban mobility today.

Bike-sharing Programs

Bike-sharing programs have transformed urban mobility. They offer a convenient and eco-friendly way to navigate busy streets. With stations located throughout cities, grabbing a bike is just a few clicks away.

These programs typically allow users to rent bicycles for short periods. This flexibility makes them ideal for quick trips or leisurely rides along scenic routes. Many platforms provide user-friendly apps that display nearby bikes and docking stations in real time.

In addition to reducing traffic congestion, bike-sharing promotes healthier lifestyles. Riders get exercise while enjoying the fresh air and exploring their surroundings at their own pace.

Moreover, some initiatives focus on sustainability by incorporating electric bikes into their fleets. As technology advances, these options will likely become more accessible than ever before, ensuring there's something for everyone who wants to ride around town conveniently.

Car Rental and Car Sharing

Car rental and car sharing offer flexible solutions for those who need wheels without the commitment of ownership. For travelers or occasional drivers, renting a car can be an ideal choice. You get access to various models suited for different needs, from compact cars to spacious SUVs.

On the other hand, car-sharing services let you borrow a vehicle for short periods. This is perfect for urban dwellers who may only require a ride occasionally. With apps that enable easy booking, finding transportation services near me has never been easier.

Both options typically provide convenient pick-up locations and competitive pricing. Plus, they often come with insurance coverage included in the fee. Whether you're running errands or planning a weekend getaway, these transportation methods give you control over your journey while helping reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

Scooter-sharing Services

Scooter-sharing services have quickly become a popular choice for urban commuters. They offer a fun, eco-friendly way to navigate busy city streets.

Simply locate a scooter through an app, unlock it with your smartphone, and you’re off. It’s that easy! Riders can zip through traffic without the hassle of parking or waiting for public transport.

Many cities are implementing designated scooter lanes to ensure safety. This keeps both riders and pedestrians happy while promoting sustainable transportation options.

Plus, these scooters often run on electric power, reducing carbon footprints in our bustling cities.

Users can rent them for short trips or longer adventures as they explore their surroundings. With flexible pricing models available—like pay-per-ride or subscription plans—there's something suitable for everyone looking to get around effortlessly.

Choosing the Right Transportation Option for Your Needs

Selecting the right transportation option can greatly enhance your travel experience. Start by assessing your specific needs. Are you commuting daily or exploring a new city?

Consider the distance and time of day. Public transportation might be best for navigating urban areas during rush hour, while ridesharing provides convenience when you're short on time.

Evaluate your budget as well. Some options are more economical than others, especially if you’re traveling solo versus with a group.

Think about sustainability too. Bike-sharing programs and electric scooters are eco-friendly choices that promote healthier lifestyles.

Don’t forget comfort and accessibility factors. If you have mobility concerns, ensure that the option you choose meets those requirements for an enjoyable journey.

Tips for Utilizing Different Transportation Methods Efficiently

To make the most of your chosen transportation services near me, start by planning ahead. Use apps to check schedules and availability for public transport or ridesharing options. This saves time and reduces frustration.

When using public transportation, consider off-peak hours to avoid crowds. A less busy bus or train can lead to a smoother commute.

For bike-sharing programs, always inspect the bike before riding. Make sure it's in good condition for a safe journey.

If you opt for car rentals or sharing services, compare prices on different platforms first. Promotions often exist that can significantly cut costs.

For scooter-sharing services, familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding usage areas and speed limits to ensure compliance while enjoying your ride.

Stay flexible and open-minded about switching between methods as needed based on distance or weather conditions.

The Future of Transportation: Technology and Sustainability

The future of transportation is rapidly evolving, driven by innovations in technology and a growing emphasis on sustainability. Electric vehicles are becoming more accessible, with charging stations popping up in urban areas. This shift not only reduces emissions but also offers significant cost savings for users.

Autonomous vehicles are another exciting development. They promise to enhance safety and efficiency on the road. Imagine relaxing during your commute while your car handles the navigation!

Additionally, smart city initiatives aim to integrate various modes of transport seamlessly. Data will play a crucial role in optimizing routes and reducing congestion.

Sustainable practices extend beyond electric cars too. Public transit systems are investing in greener options like hybrid buses or solar-powered trains, making them attractive alternatives.

As we move forward, collaboration among governments, tech companies, and communities will shape how we navigate our cities sustainably while embracing cutting-edge solutions.

Conclusion

Transportation options are diverse and cater to a wide range of needs. Whether you prefer the convenience of public transportation, the flexibility of ridesharing services, or the eco-friendliness of bike-sharing programs, there is something for everyone.

As we look ahead, technology continues to reshape the landscape of transportation. The rise in electric scooters and advancements in app-based mobility solutions offer exciting possibilities. With sustainability at the forefront, many cities are investing in greener alternatives that promise a more efficient future.

Choosing from various transportation services near you can enhance your travel experience significantly. By understanding what each option offers and considering your unique requirements, you can navigate urban landscapes with ease. Embrace these tools as they develop; they will undoubtedly make getting around easier and more enjoyable than ever before.

Original Fics from the 3 Sentence Ficathon

I've cross-posted all my fanfics from the 3SF to AO3 as of last weekend (it only took me *checks watch* two months), but I've also got 4 original fics that I don't want to put on there, but I still want them archived somewhere aside from Dreamwidth.

So, here we go! The first 2 fills are from the same original story; the last 2 are not.

Prompt: any, any, the not-so-good doctor

He's New to This Stepdad Thing

"Doctor Gray," Makoto said—something he only called Julian when he was very flirtatious or very irritated, and at the moment, he did not sound flirtatious, "why does my twelve-year-old daughter have a fucking flamethrower?"

Julian didn't look up from the circuits he was attempting to connect; they were determined to thwart him if he took his eyes off them for even a second. "Because we were performing an experiment." 

"Just what the hell kind of experiment were you performing?!"

"We were experimenting with how to build a flamethrower, of course." 

The inarticulate noise Makoto made told Julian that was the incorrect response.

*****

Prompt: Any, any, watched

Escape

Security personnel from the Consortium roamed the train station, standing out like beacons in their dark uniforms. There was no way Julian could slip onboard one of the trains while they watched. 

He gave away his ticket to a young woman pleading for mercy at the desk and walked as quickly as he dared back out of the station and onto the darkening streets of the city. Tomorrow, first thing, he’d try the airship docks. Maybe they wouldn’t be searching for him there.

*****

Prompt: any, any, the bookbinder

Binding

The basement window of the bookshop flickered orange and pink long into the night every night, and rumors swirled about the market in the daytime hours about just what the old bookseller was doing down there. He claimed to be binding books, but no one believed him; after all, the books he sold came already bound.

Anne could see the flickering lights reflecting on the wet cobblestones from her bedroom window, and after two weeks, she could take it no longer—she crept out and stole across the street to the bookshop and knelt by the window and gasped at what she saw: the old bookseller drawing magic from the air, orange and pink runes, pressing them into pages, and clamping the shivering, shimmering papers together.

*****

Prompt: any, any, room at the end of the world

The Village at the End of the World

They call it the Village at the End of the World: a cluster of buildings in the shadow of the black, fanged mountains that no one has ever crossed and returned to tell the tale. The village has been there for decades—centuries even—although the reasons for settling in such an inhospitable land have been lost to time, as so many things are (perhaps it was for protection, an early warning for any dangers that may have come out of the mountains, but surely those are all legend now).

Few come that way—relatives coming to visit, traveling merchants making rounds, one very brave minstrel collecting stories to share at the capital—but every now and then, a determined traveler alights on the tavern with the goal to cross the mountains. The villagers always try to dissuade them, but it always fails, so they do the only thing they can: give them a clean room and a warm meal before they set off, and give them their final rites as soon as they pass from sight.
