Oh my, oh my, this is new

[Albert Wesker]

His wandering mind soon settled on something familiar that would probably be of at least passing usefulness to him. Maybe even of great use. And he focused on it as much as he was able. It felt strange, honestly, just...trying to go about whatever he was supposed to be doing. He didn't really have the drive for something that seemed so silly, but it wasn't as if he had anything better to do. And, as plain as it was, trying to figure out this mess was slightly better than doing nothing.

...or walking. A faint ache from his leg where it met its icy prosthesis reminded him that long distance walking wasn't his favorite thing anymore. At least on his bicycle he could pretty much just use his good leg and not have to really worry about his bad one. It was convenient, and sure made travelling the seas a lot easier. Slower, perhaps, but also much more quiet. Sometimes just being alone was better, even if it was out in the middle of the ocean.

Almost without realizing it, he started to....to sense that something was going on nearby. It was an odd feeling, made all the more odd by not being able to utilize any sort of Haki. He knew he still knew how to use it, but on a whim, trying to use it just caused nothing to happen. Like he just forgot just as he tried to use it, or as if something was stopping him. It was puzzling, and mildly concerning, there was no lie about that. But he could deal with that for now, at least until he got to somewhere a little less...empty.

He didn't really have the space of mind to give it as much thought as he probably should have, anyway. His abilities were something he'd trained for for a long time once, and now he knew what he was doing to train for them again, if that was what it was going to take. ....if that was what it was, anyway.

"Weeeeeell....probably no reason to worry about it now, anyway..." he murmured. With an effort, he turned his wandering mind back to what he guessed his current task was: getting something to go right. He had been working at what had amounted to nothing for a few minutes so far with no result, but he could tell that he wasn't entirely failing at it. It had something to do with that...what was it? "Omni....Omnilium?" Puzzling over the word, he scratched at the side of his head with the hand resting against it.

"Something to do with that, huh." The more he thought about it, the more he started to realize he knew about what exactly it was. How to use it, when it was working. He even had a vague idea that if he tried to use it for something he didn't quite have enough Omnilium to do, the result would be not altogether pleasant, though harmless. All in all, it was a strange, bizarre experience to consider, this being able to "summon" things...

As if on cue with his thoughts about how bizarre the business of sommoning things was, there was a faint stirring that brought his eyes back down toward ground level, just in time to catch something suitably strange, given everything else going on. And when he caught sight of it, he again found he suddenly knew what it was. His constant focus on something to help him get around, even when muddled among all his other wandering thoughts, was finally taking form. Or so it seemed, anyway.

"Hooo....that's new." Slowly, what looked to be a bubble of indistinct color, seeming to shine and glitter with every color imaginable, and slowly grew more solid, seeming to turn into a solid mass, losing its incorporeal nature and looking less and less like a bubble and more like a solid, glimmering mass. And within another minute, it was done, the strange mass of color faded, leaving in its pace something very familiar: his personal bicycle, the Ao Chari.

"Well, well...that should come in handy later on, I guess." He only wished this "summoning" thing didn't take so long. If it had taken several minutes for something relatively simple, and a thing he was so familiar with... He nearly hung his head in exhaustion just thinking about how long it might take for more complex items later down the road. But he pushed that aside for now. For now, it was time to take a look around.

Shaking his head, he swung one leg over the seat of his trusty bicycle, turning his eyes back to the horizon. "Now, then...which one do I go to...?" From this distance, they all seemed nearly the same, so he doubted it would really matter much. Looking about for a few moments, he finally gave a shrug, and simply pushed off toward the one he was already mostly facing. He set a lazy pace, in no particular hurry, and figured he would get to whatever it was when he got there.
