The seat flattens and the back of the bicycle fills out with metal as you make this change. Twin shafts of steel extend and curve downward into glimmering exhaust pipes; an engine forms in the back of the vehicle, and the pedals twist backwards, shifting and extending to instead become a gas and brake pedal, and platforms for the feet. It maintains the same silver and blue coloration of your trusty old bicycle; your parents got it for you one Christmas, but never taught you how to ride, so you had to learn on your own.

It's all gassed up, and the keys are in the ignition. Try not to get your ass run over out there, hotshot.
MOTORCYCLE is added to the EXCURSUS.

To have gloves that can control Air and Water :)

You create a duplicate pair of AEOLEAN GLOVES, then add the power of elemental water to them. Though their structure does not change, they grow even colder to the touch as if slightly damp, and light burns away at the symbols on the back, turning them from blue swirls to clouds.
The Reality Changer identifies these as:
VAPOROUS GLOVES (Material: Leather) (Element: Air) (Element: Water) (Clothing: Hand)
The wearer of these dewy gloves, by simply willing it, can produce thick fog and even small clouds from the palms of their hands!
VAPOROUS GLOVES are added to the EXCURSUS.

Not as useful as you thought. Maybe they'll need a fog machine today. You set the pair aside.

You're soon to be off to the party on your sick new ride. However, the same foreboding feeling fills you as you toss yourself onto the bike and grab the handlebars to get a feel for it; this time, you think you're going to throw caution to the wind and head out. Just a feeling, after all.

Ready to go?

Spoiler:

Either head off to the party
or
Quickly run into the kitchen, look in the freezer and scan some ice, THEN go to the party. Depending on what the OTHER voices in your head say do the most popular choice.

YOU NEED FOR FOR THAT TRIP!

Go get a helmet. You don't want to get pulled over with a reality altering IPhone.

Woah, hold up a minute partner. You can't be going to a party full of potential sexual tension without something cool to wear.

T-SHIRT (Material: Cotton) (Clothing: Body)

When it comes to fashion you have to check yourself before you wreck yourself fool.

SOUNDS GOOD

You twist the key in the ignition...

By God, you're right. You modify the T-Shirt you're wearing. adding the Beautiful quality. This causes a complete metamorphosis of the item. The sleeves extend to the wrists, becoming bishop sleeves that puff out just ahead of the elbows; the sleeves widen and the front of the shirt becomes frilled.
The Reality Changer identifies this item as:
POET SHIRT (Material: Cotton) (Trait: Beautiful) (Clothing: Body)
You are ready for a party, if you are an aristocrat and this party is taking place in the mid-19th century. It's kind of like you're wearing a blouse, but it's quite comfortable, so whatever. You have never felt quite so stylish.
POET SHIRT is added to the EXCURSUS.

Anyway.

You twist the key in the ignition and the bike rumbles beneath you as the engine turns over. You've never ridden a motorcycle before, but it feels as if you know how very well; you're not sure if the Reality Changer is somehow doing this for you. The vehicle operates like new, and you peel out of the driveway and through the neighborhood at almost forty miles an hour, taking turns with ease and getting a few stares from your boring neighbors.

You should really put on a helmet next time.

The wind blows through your hair as you make your way out into the street and ease into the speed limit a bit more. Easel's house isn't all that far away, according to the address you've been given. In only a few minutes, you're pulling into her neighborhood. It's gated, but the rustic metal gate is open and the gatehouse is unoccupied; you have a feeling it is mostly for show somehow. Still, a pretty ritzy neighborhood.

You slow down and follow the sidewalk, reading house numbers until you come across Easel's house. You park the motorcycle in front of her house and drop the kickstand, taking a moment to collect your thoughts. Vehicles parked on the curb indicate that some of your friends are already here. In addition, an unrecognized car or two is among the rest; Easel apparently has friends beyond your circle. You are legitimately surprised.

The door opens and a familiar voice calls out to you. "Gary! When did you get such an awesome bike?" Loud, electronic dance music wafts from the building; you turn your head, and see a girl calling out to you. She's kind of short, with long, light-brown hair, thin and frayed, and she's wearing jeans and a loose-fitting white blouse. It's l'apothecaire, standing there waving to you.

Who are you kidding? It's a little strange, referring to these people by their online handles in real life. Her name is Amber Derringer--right.

"Amberrrr~?" A marginally more obnoxious voice is produced from inside the house. "Who are you talking to out the--oh God." PaintedEasel makes her way to Amber's side, and the sight of you seems to stop her mid-sentence. She adjusts her thin-framed glasses, places a hand to her forehead--her nails are painted, alternating dark purple and green--and sighs, running it through her wavy black hair.

Oh, right.

What's PaintedEasel's name?

Spoiler:

Helga Doofenschmirtz

PaintedEasel is:
DUMB BITCH

Naomi Pechin

Please? We could just call her BJ or Bethany or something.

Her name is Bonnie Lakeland.

Resist incredible impulse to hump Bonnie's head in an unfathomable haze of teenage hormones.

If you're staying long, it's gonna get a bit chilly as the night goes on, who needs a coat when you have a self warming jacket?

Right, right. Naomi Lakeland--you remember now.

"Who invited you, Garrett?" She sighs, and continues to drone on as you identify the two girls with the RC. "How did you even find my house? I'd have thought the directions would be too difficult for someone like you to parse. What is that ridiculous shirt you're wearing, and where did you get those tacky riding gloves? This isn't a costume party, you know..."

"Scanning for hostile life-forms." You grin, re-opening the Mobile RC program. It occurs to you that you should probably head inside and scan the others once you're done.

The Reality Changer identifies these people as:
AMBER DERRINGER (Structure: Humanoid) (Trait: Peaceful) (Trait: Elemental Affinity(???))
Your good friend of many years. Nice, and relatively sociable, if a bit old fashioned. Possesses extensive knowledge of biology, medicine, and herbal remedies, as well as the French language. Goes by the Ephemerallian handle "l'apothecaire".
AMBER DERRINGER has been added to the EXCURSUS.

NAOMI LAKELAND (Structure: Humanoid) (Trait: Aureate) (Trait: Highly intelligent) (Trait: Exceptional eyesight)
A somewhat pretentious girl that you're quite familiar with. Takes particular pride in her knowledge and skill in the visual arts and art history, but seems to know a little about pretty much everyone. You try to outsmart her in whatever you can, but also try to avoid confrontation. Goes by the Ephemerallian handle "PaintedEasel".
NAOMI LAKELAND has been added to the EXCURSUS.

You have absolutely no urge to hump Naomi's head, so resisting it is no problem. As you are already dressed like Lord Byron, you would like to appear as normal as possible for at least a little while.

"What is wrong with you?" Naomi shrugs. "I won't allow this... dissension... to ruin my party. That said, you could at least try to act civilized if you insist on crashing said party."

"Oh, don't give him grief. It'll be like he's not even here." Amber insists, then faces you. "Come in, come in!"

You make your way down the concrete path across the lawn and into Naomi's front door. The two girls return inside, and Naomi lets the door go on you as you enter; you stop it with your hand and continue inside, looking at the setup of the place. The front door leads directly into a pretty large living room. There's a wide entryway to the kitchen directly ahead, and the stairs are to your left; open doors are visible through an upstairs railing directly ahead, probably bedrooms and such. The amount of cars outside seems to belie the number of people actually attending the party. There are plenty of people around.

Non Quixote, the light-skinned knight errant, is seated on the couch in the center of the room with a can of soda in hand. From the looks of things, he's lying through his teeth to the group of three girls seated around him. Must have been his Jag parked outside. "Smug little jerk." You smile, watching him lean back, scratch his short, swept-back hair, and put his arm around one of the ladies. The two of you have gotten into all sorts of crazy adventures over the past couple of years. If he's not too busy with the girls, it's good to know that there's another someone here who's definitely got your back.

It occurs to you that you should probably remember Non Quixote's name before the next update. And the rest of these guys too.

A group of people stands behind him, redheaded noVus included--they're watching something on the big-screen TV, which you're not sure can be heard over the blaring electronic music. As the three of you walk in, he straightens the shoulders of his polo shirt and nods to welcome you. You return the greeting, then walk further into the house to take a look around. Paintings of questionable taste adorn the walls. There's a table of snacks at the other end of the room, where the stereo is situated; a few more people are dancing, eating, and talking around it.

Another table has a plastic tablecloth with a floral pattern that you hate a whole lot and wish would go away. There's an apparently expensive vase sitting on top of it, as well as a cool-looking aquarium with some pretty neat fish swimming around inside. In front of it, you see another friend of yours; he goes by the Ephemerallian handle QuickScopes. He's kind of on the outer circle of friends. The two of you don't talk much, because your conversations always turn into political arguments, often regarding gun control. It also sort of bugs you that he always wears a plaid button-down shirt over a white T-shirt, regardless of the season. Nice guy overall, you think, despite his strange fashion sense.

Then again, what are you talking about? You're dressed like Lord Byron, remember?

You recognize one more person out of the crowd. There's a wall-flower in the corner of the room, leaning against a door and staring at the floor with her arms folded across a tight-fitting black band shirt; there's a single violet streak in her short, black hair, and though you can't see her face, you get the impression that she's wearing copious amounts of eyeshadow. Ephemerallian handle: FalconsEye. You were best friends for a while in middle school. The two of you met when you caught her breaking the combination lock on your locker with the tab from a soda can; to this day, you have absolutely no idea how she did that. You still talk to her from time to time, but your friendship with Non Quixote as well as your differing lifestyle choices caused the two of you to grow apart.

You toss your iPhone up and down in hand, wondering what you're going to do next.

((Feel free to just suggest a bunch of names. The names originally suggested for the main character will also be considered. Name suggestions are not integral to the regular suggestion process and are pretty much optional.))
1) What is Non Quixote's name?
2) What is noVus's name?
3) What is QuickScopes's name?
4) What is FalconsEye's name?
5) What will you do?

Spoiler:

1. Francis "Buck" Buckley
2. Adam Valentine
3. Craig Phillips
4. Mia Kaufmann
5. Intrude on Buck's unsuccessful flirtation attempts with your trademark wit and charm.

1) Jake Luxley
2) Jason Parsons
3) Erik Johnson
4) Marie Davies
5) Sneakily use the gloves your wearing to make the soda Jake is holding spray all over him.

After you are done messing around [SCAN] the party and see what you get.

I'll let you guys pick the names.

Find the nearest bathroom, and change your outfit so you don't look like Lord Byron:

T-SHIRT (Material: Cotton) (Clothing: Body)
[Synthesize]
Then:
T-SHIRT (Material: Cotton) (Clothing: Body)
[EDIT]
[ADD][TRAIT(INANIMATE)] Internally Reinforced
[ADD][MATERIAL]Fabric
[/EDIT]

Internally Reinforced because the world is full of dangers!
Fabric because the Tshirt prolly didn't look all that well with being cotton anyway.
