LET'S [test] DRIVING

[cava]

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, YOU KNOW THE DRILL. Here's a few options, all stolen shamelessly from previous iterations.

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters or whatever they're called.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> Arts and Crafts Fair. WILL THE KITSCH OVERWHELM YOU


or make up your own whatever this is basic and just for the purposes of getting a new test drive up.

Is this going to be one of those times you listen to me? Awesome.

[Of course he doesn't move. Nick nudges him with his shoulder slightly, leaning back and stretching out his legs.]

And we'd have no purpose without them. Which is pretty morbid, when you think about it.

[sassymaru]

There you go, getting your hopes up again. Such a shame they must be dashed.

[Neon floodlights have less watts than his grin.]

[He doesn't nudge back, but leans, instead. Heavily.]

There, there. We could always turn to petty crime. Rounding up missing dogs. Charming things like that, yes?

[detectivetroll]

I'm eternally optimistic.

[It's as dry and sarcastic as a human voice is capable of sounding.

He'd remind Yuji again that he's not furniture to be leaned on, but he knows it'd fall on deaf ears. Well, and he's used to it by now.]

Hmmm. Rounding up missing dogs does have a nice ring to it.

[sassymaru]

So I've come to notice. Anata wa, zetsubō-tekida. Shitte iru na?

[He doesn't bother translating. Or even giving a hint. He's said that so many times, it's probably already memorized by the other man.]

[Good, because not only his shoulder is pressed against his partner now. Most of his entire side. Like a dog, leaning on their owner.]

I do like dogs. So much more companionable than corpses.
