[[video]] OFF WITH ONE WATCH ON WITH ANOTHER

[allhailfunyarinpa]

[The feed is actually pretty steady, like whoever is directing it is used to this sort of thing. Oddly comforting, for a change!

But the viewpoint isn't at a person, but a sand-crusted car parked haphazardly in front of the Libra apartment building.]

So, uh- [Whoever's on the other end seems really, really, really dry and deadpan about what he's about to say.] -where's the nearest car wash?

[Junpei Nolastnamington- He Tries.]

I dunno, you're not exactly an easy guy to keep an eye on...

[Walk in, suddenly bloody clothes all over, Junpei would just call it Another Tuesday.]

Ughhhhhh pleaseee tell me they don't have digital root doors here, seriously...

[HMM I THINK HE'S SHOOTING THE THOUGHT DOWN]

[epicbraille]

[ Aw. No fun, McFly. ]

Not yet they don't.

[ Snake's matter of fact tone is rarely a comfort. Digital Root doors could show up one day, he supposes. Stranger things have happened in the last couple days alone. ]

Do you have your bracelet with you? Santa and I have ours.

[ He'll veer back to that not easy to keep an eye on thing like Clover would veer the car towards a pedestrian. ]

[allhailfunyarinpa]

Yeah, but a lot of good it'll do me now. Unless I wanted to use it as a fashion accessory.

[Kssssssssssssh well damn I guess he really is washing that car???]

[epicbraille]

You never know. One day we may well hear that familiar beep beep beep all over again.

[ What a wonderful thing to joke about over a car wash. ]

And why, may I ask, did you make washing the car the first order of business?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

If this thing stars beeping, I'm just going to give up.

[That sure sounds like a prank opportunity!]

...well, it's better than sitting in my room and trying to sort through the information drive-by some random dude gave me about personas or whatever. It's methodical, so I guess it's relaxing.

[epicbraille]

[ Snake understands the desire to relax, especially after what they went through back home. Although that was a short time ago for him, he's willing to bet it was an even shorter time ago for Jumpy. ]

How long has it been since we won the Nonary Game, Junpei?

[ He also makes a note to tell Junpei that "some random dude" is actually called Butterfly.

...by Snake and Santa. ]

[allhailfunyarinpa]

I stopped being able to tell time when Clover started driving over ninety miles per hour. Does that give you a good guesstimate?

[He just sounds...tired all of a sudden. Or queasy. Or both. Never take this wuss on a rollercoaster.]

[epicbraille]

[ If Santa was here, he'd make a joke about getting the car all the way up to 88. Snake isn't Santa, fortunately, so the reference doesn't leave these brackets. ]

That's the last thing you remember, I take it?

[ Boy does he sound amused. His sister's driving skills are rather questionable, but Snake finds it charming. ]
