Tatsuo Kihara shared a video. 09/15 near Tisse

Watch on YouTube Got some wheels.

[ooc: 1) pretend it's not almost 20 minutes long. 5 minutes at max. 2) mute the video and listen to this instead. 3) pretend it says things like 'Tisse' and 'Chata' rather than 'Nolita' and 'Central Park']

Nice.

[ A+ would make a great blunt weapon. ]

What's the occasion?

[thisloveisjustice]

Being home I suppose.

[making it back alive]

[judgementkazzy]

Cool. That's as good a reason as any. :-)
It looks like a really nice ride.

[ He can relate. ]

[thisloveisjustice]

She is! I'm really enjoying riding her.

[his motorcycle is a girl, don't ask him to explain that]

[judgementkazzy]

[ A girl motorcycle... I see... ]

Must be nice, getting to travel in style.

[thisloveisjustice]

It is. I can get home much faster this way.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, you can go really fast on a motorcycle.

[ Like. This fast. ]

You bought a helmet and stuff to go with it, right?

[thisloveisjustice]

Of course. Cleo would get angry with me if I did otherwise.

[judgementkazzy]

Good. Be careful.

[thisloveisjustice]

I plan to be. I've seen a few reports on motorcycle accidents. I'm not about to get reckless.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, they can be pretty dangerous.

Kaz, is everything all right?

[he can't quite describe it, but it kind of feels like when he's talking to someone and their voice goes flat]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Crap, he's that obvious, huh. ]

It's nothing.
I just remembered something motorcycle-related.
I doubt you'll be running anyone over, though.

Re: private;

[thisloveisjustice]

[just... a little... especially since him and Kiryu can usually just natter on about anything]

Wait. Did you see someone get run over or did you get run over? Either way, that's not nothing.

private;

[judgementkazzy]

[ That's what happens when you're friends, yep. ]

It was me.
I got run over by some guy.
Kind of?
It was in a sewer.
I doubt that's gonna happen again.

private;

[thisloveisjustice]

Kind of run over? Like he rammed you?

And yeah, the sewer part probably won't happen, but there's still plenty of motorcycles in the city. You be careful too.

[judgementkazzy]

He had a lead pipe.
He drove at me, and I blocked, and he lost his balance and fell off.
It was kind of weird.

Re: private;

[thisloveisjustice]

like. on the one hand, you've fought tigers. some guy on a motorcycle with a lead pipe in the sewers is much more likely. and yet somehow i'm still wtfing. did you fight him after he fell off?

[ooc: LMAO i smell a regain coming for Tatsuo, w2g you two]

private;

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, I think so.
Probably?
I don't remember the rest, but I think he hated me.
The same guy having to cut off his pinkie because of me.
So...

[ Yakuza is weird, man. ]

Re: private;

[thisloveisjustice]

Wait, that happens when someone screws up right? Sort of a taking responsibility thing? That might give him reason to hate you yeah. Damn Kaz.

[WIKI DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFO FOR TATSUO'S PURPOSES]

whoops my bad

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, I don't remember all the details for why, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault.
The pinkie thing really happens, though.
If you screw up, you get a knife, a towel, and a board.
You can probably picture the rest.

It's really hardcore.

private;

[thisloveisjustice]

Wait. You have to cut off your own finger?!

private;

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, that's how it works.
I saw this guy cut his finger off.
I guess he was pretty strong because he was still able to drive a motorcycle.

Re: private;

[thisloveisjustice]

you're right. that is pretty hardcore.

but doesn't that make it pretty easy to spot someone who's yakuza?

private;

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, it's a problem in Japan from what I read.
Some guys get prosthetic fingers or wear special gloves, that kind of thing.
Originally it was done so you couldn't hold a sword, but nowadays it really is only for appearances.
