Does this gun belong to anyone? และในข่าวอื่น ๆ ฉันได้รับความสามารถในการพูดในภาษาใหม่ คาดเดาอะไร? ดูเหมือนว่า hallucinomemories มาจากสามเหลี่ยมทองคำ!

[OOC: basically: And in other news, I've gained the ability to speak in a new language. Guess what? Looks like the hallucinomemories are from the Golden Triangle!]

Fine, then just tell me when you wreck enough crap that your PA kicks you out or whatever.

I'm pretty sure he knows.

[ He never outright said anything but somehow Togusa managed to guess at it anyway, so. ]

Fine, fine. I'll text when that happens.

That's not the same thing as him being told about it. The guy has enough white hairs as it is; tell him.

[ Damn it Yoon-sung, stop guilt tripping him!! ]

I already said, he knows. I basically told him already, and he practically told me to my face he knows about it. Quit telling me what to do about my gun.

Hey. I am just making sure that it's all clear on my end. I don't want something stupid to happen with that gun or with you concerning that gun. I don't trust things that Retrospec has been giving people, especially weapons.

Well consider it clear.

And believe me, I don't trust that thing either. I haven't touched it, I haven't loaded it, I've barely even breathed on it since I got it.

[ This is a lie, partially. He's definitely held it and carried it a time or two, but with every safety precaution in place, and he's never fired it. He's honestly kind of scared to. ]

I wouldn't put it past Jim to re-load it when none of us were looking tbh.

[ ...oh jesus. ]

Okay I checked all the bullets the gun came with, they're still at home and none of them have been removed.

But just in case. When we get the gun, first thing we do is pop out the magazine and check it's empty.

Makes sense to me. So. He's telling me to get some sleep which means I'm leaving in about an hour.

Works for me, it'll probably take me about an hour to get over there anyway.

See you soon.

[ Sure enough, an hour of really tense bus rides has plopped James near the CUBEnix buildings. He stands around in the parking lot, waiting for Yoon-sung to show.

He's got no idea what the right car is, but he's not even going to pretend to be casual right now. If anyone asks what a teen is doing in some office building parking lot, he is ready to namedrop until he gets what he came for. ]

[ Well, if Bucky was thinking, he would look for the really overpriced piece of car sitting in the lot in the best spot allowable that was not handicapped. Yoon-sung was sitting cross-legged on the hood of the car, his shoes on the ground, and a small tablet in hand. He doesn't even bother to look up at Bucky's approach, but it was mainly because he was playing some kind of fighting game and losing badly. ]

[ It takes him a moment, but he eventually spots Yoon-sung on top of--oh my god, what is this monstrosity. ]

Is that seriously your car? Is that where you've been keeping it?

What's wrong with my car?

[Okay, that was enough losing. Yoon-sung powered down the tablet and slides off the hood, slipping his feet into his shoes as he does so. The tablet was jsut small enough to go into an inner pocket of his jacket and he turned around to pat the bright and kinda sparkly volcanic orange side of the car. ]

I had the Oceanic blue one but had to get the volcanic color when blue disappeared.

It's the most obnoxious car I've ever seen. And that's coming from someone who sees tanks all the time.

[ And here, he lowers his voice. He didn't see anyone else around, but he's not risking it. ]

And you just kept a gun in here? In the most noticeable car in a twenty mile radius?

Tanks are not cars. They're armored transports that blows shit up.

[ Yoon-sung presses his thumb against the lock and tiny lights flicker on before the door soundlessly opens upwards. He glances at Bucky, sees his expression and laughs. ]

Haven't you heard the saying 'the most obvious place is the last place to look'? [ He might be saying it wrong, but his English isn't always 100% accurate. ] Anyone would over look anything outside of rich person's car, really.

Exactly. So they can get away with looking obnoxious.

[ He gawks once the door slides up. ]

Okay, see, this--this is unnecessary. Just--ugh, okay, where is it? Glove compartment?

The difference between this and a tank is that this is a lot faster and gets me laid.

[ Humming, he finds his briefcase and transfers his tablet to the side compartment and setting it back behind the driver's seat. ]

It is not. It's designed to give race cars a run for their money, and the doors are a part of cutting down airflow problems. And yes, it's here but I can't just hand it over to you in the open like this. There are these things called security cameras around here.

[ He looks over his shoulder, as if he might spot some of the security cameras. Honestly he should've thought of that in advance, but he's just glad Yoon-sung brought it up before he did anything. ]

Alright, fine. Where do you want to do this that's camera-free and cop-free?

Get in and I'll drive us to a safer spot.

[ He was grinning, mainly because he knew that people did not like him driving. It wasn't that he was bad at it, he just saw the road and everyone else on it as part of a live action racing game. It didn't help that viewpoint by having a ridiculous car that was only street legal by a few little tweaks. ]

Oh yeah, because that doesn't sound suspicious.

[ Not like that stops him from getting into the car as directed. Everything else in his life is so weird that this barely even registers. 'Stranger danger' doesn't even count with internet friends any more anyway. ]

I could also say something like 'want some candy, little boy?' but that's pushing it, right?

[ He flatten out his voice, adding a little grit as well to sound just like the kind of perverted old men from cheesy movies, before laughing and making sure he has engaged his seat belt. Which he also waits for Bucky to lock into place before starting the car by pressing his thumb on the ignition switch. ]

Let's go to the beach.

[ James rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah, off a cliff. I don't think that gimmick works with guys who're already in high school. Candy's not enough incentive at our age.

But sure, beach it is. That should give us enough space.

It does is Candy is a person of negotiable affection.

[ With a wink, Yoon-sung shifted out of neutral and gunned it, casually spinning the wheel with one hand as they turned out of the parking spot. The car's wheels made a squeak and he just guns it, heading for the highway and beyond, ignoring the slower moving cars by swinging around them as he left the parking lot. ]

But I suppose that's also an old enough trick that most people don't fall for these days, right?

[ oh jesus, what kind of hell demon did he just get into the car with

James grips the car door with one hand and braces the other against arm rest. There is NO NEED to be going this fast in a parking lot. OR ON ANY ROADS EITHER. ]

Holy crap, we're not racing anyone, you know that right?

[ He might sound just a little bit nervous. Less because he's scared, honestly, and more because he's never experienced driving like this before. ]
