[005] [Video]
[It's about midday on Saturday when Shinjiro flips on the video feed for once- And it shows him sitting at a dining room table, with what looks like a large, white-and-black rabbit on his lap, ears and back just visible from over the edge of the table. There's a book left abandoned on the table in front of him (if you tilt your heard and squint, it looks almost like algebra and graphing curves,) alongside a very blank spiral notebook. Yeah, he's procrastinating on doing homework assignments. They were likely due yesterday.]
Hey. Anyone know a lot about the cars here?
[A short frown, and he's glancing off to the side, rather than looking right into the video feed, one hand moving down to idly rub at the rabbits ears as it snuffles at his shirt.] Like-- How much upkeep costs, or when you gotta replace bits or-- anything. Hell, I ain't ever had to deal with one before. I get that they like- use a weird combo of gas and water and shit here?
More importantly, if anyone's up for teaching someone how to drive one've the things, hit me up here. I figure it's a better bet than figuring it out on my own. Can't say I ever looked into it back home.
[For as much as he bitches about public transit, he sure has taken zero initiative to change his reliance on it until now. A pause, and he glances down at the math book. Nope, still not wanting to do it. But he's also out of things to say, so he'll reach out and flip the video off.]

Wow. Senpai is as motivated as ever. I'm not sure you really need a car, though.
no subject
so unsure about this you have no idea.]
Yeah. Guess we'll see how it works out, at least. It ain't a bad thing, I figure.

[He's joking. Or is he? It's impossible to tell.]
no subject
You think so?
[you'd want to be in a car with shinjiro and ken in close proximity for hours on end?]
Where would we go? You guys already did the beach back home, right? [And... they're in Florida like every day.]
no subject
And yes, Minato would want to be in a car with Shinjiro and Ken for hours on end. It's Minato.]
That's true, but there's a lot of things to see in America, aren't there? I'm sure there's somewhere interesting. And I have plenty of music to listen to for the drive.
no subject
[An amused huff, and he nods.] Alright. If we go on one, you're in charge of making the playlists. Otherwise we'd just get 'Eye of the Tiger' on repeat the whole way.
no subject
It's okay, I'll clear out all of senpai's music from the car first.
no subject
[Awwhhh. FRIENDS FREINDS WITH FRIENDS. HOORAY.]
I know there's a couple theme parks kinda close by- and bigger cities up north. I guess it depends on what we'd wanna see. Most've the guys in class were talking 'bout just going to other parts've Florida on their spring break, or another beach city in North Carolina.
no subject
[In other words, Minato can't deny that it's a well-suited gift.]
I'm sure we could go wherever we wanted; there aren't any guardians for us to explain ourselves to. [Minato is matter of fact about how they're all tragic orphans.] Shinjiro-senpai, I'll leave the choice of our destination up to you, [he decides, like he's handing out a mission assignment.]
no subject
Guess you got a point. Alright. Once I figure this shit out and school's done with the year, I'll get back with you on it.
no subject
Great. It is the traditional time for road trips, isn't it? Since we're just normal high schoolers, we should obey that.
no subject
Can't say it's anything I really thought about before. But yeah, I guess we should. [They won't get the chance anywhere else.] Probably'll be near the end've May, or June.
no subject
It's nothing I thought about, either. [His voice is gentle. They both know why neither of them had thought about it. This is just the way Minato and Shinji bond over their death wishes-- with subtext.] That's fine. Just let me know and I'll round everyone up. [Leader duties.]
