Comments

[rideme]

... Pretty sure lots of people do. Look.

[He nods at the TV. Apparently, instead of the cooking channel, they landed on the International Channel. Because it's some Japanese News show.]

[At least it's not a Japanese game show, but still.]

It's not your world here kid. Not mine either. Otherwise planes wouldn't exist.

[iamtetsuo]

[...Tetsuo doesn't say anything. The news flickers, talking about a catastrophic car pileup, then some business merger of two companies he doesn't recognize. His body language remains slumped down, but his eyes glitter with sudden sharp interest. Taking all this in.

That area they're sweeping over with aerial cameras doesn't exist anymore. None of this would be news-worthy where he's from. There's no mention of terrorists, no mention of escalating internal conflict. No list of checkpoints that went black as a frequent counter.]

[rideme]

... You know. We can probably figure out a way to get you there. If you want.

[Because he sees that interest. The way the kid doesn't look away. How intent he is on the videos. Granted, he still looks sullen and cranky as ever. But there's that look.]

[That look he knows very well.]

It's an option, kid.

[iamtetsuo]

[Slowly, he sits up to watch closer, eyes not leaving the screen.]

I never thought it'd be possible.

[rideme]

... A lot of shit is possible around here that probably shouldn't be.

[Bull just says where he is, watching. Is this progress? Maybe?]

[iamtetsuo]

[Like video games, he doesn't say. The arcade's ruined him, in a way. Or nanites, those shouldn't be a thing. Or... as he runs that sentence through his mind, the most morbid option rises immediately back to the surface of his thoughts.

Speaking of nanites.]

...yeah. I noticed.

[rideme]

Like flying cars! Hell, cars in general! That shit is awesome.

[He's going to move this conversation to another topic whether Tetsuo likes it or not. Because this isn't going to go that direction, damn it. It's going to go somewhere awesome.]

You have that shit where you come from?

[iamtetsuo]

Hn?

[Redirect successful, for now.]

We had them. Didn't fly or anything, but we had them.

[rideme]

Oh shit...

Yeah. I knew you had that kind of crap -- the bikes and all. Too bad you didn't have the flying ones though, eh?

[iamtetsuo]

They're not cars or bikes if they fly. They're something else.

[Shrug. Miraculously, he even elaborates. It bugged him just enough....]

It's like they're missing something. How do I describe it...

[rideme]

Oh, yeah. Planes, right?

I went on one of those.

[iamtetsuo]

Couldn't say. Maybe.

[Why does the monster get to ride on one anyway. Not fair.]

[rideme]

Maybe?

Huh. Ever been on one?

[iamtetsuo]

No.

[Shrugged off in that matter of fact way that says he never expects to be and that's just how life is. Rich people can do that, in other countries.

He may be in another country but he's definitely not rich.]

[rideme]

... Want to?

[Sort of like he's asking if Tetsuo wants to go ride bikes later or something. Because hey. If Ramir could get him on a plane, why can't they get the crazy kid someday?]

[iamtetsuo]

Huh?!

[If Bull asked him casually if he wanted to go to space, he'd get about the same reaction.]

[rideme]

Do you want to?

Go on one, I mean.

[iamtetsuo]

Doesn't matter. That's not gonna happen.

[It's like he's just scared to actually hope fun things can apply to him now]

[rideme]

It could. It's not exactly hard to do, around here.

[iamtetsuo]

For you, maybe.

[rideme]

Hey, I wouldn't have done it if Ramir didn't help.

[iamtetsuo]

...Ramir?

[rideme]

Yeah. Friend of mine. She owns a club now.

... Thinking I might ask her for a job, since I've got to feed all you kids these days.

[iamtetsuo]

You don't have to.

[He sure was doing such a good job of taking care of himself! Look at all that lost weight from his adventures..]

[rideme]

Hey, I like eating too. I sort of have to.

[Since he's one of the biggest mouths in the house.]
