Okay, okay I know some people might not care for this kind of stuff, I'm sorry, but please bear with me. I'm still trying to work with that gadget we have for this network, like if it has video recording without having to make it public.

Light, can you hold this for me?

[As the camera shifts perspective, we can see that Hope is standing beside a jeep. With a confused look on his face.]

This is not a car. Is this supposed to be a car?

How should I know? You're the human.

But cars in Cocoon aren't like this. Or even in Gran Pulse. It's big and bulky-- is it even efficient? This is just... it really looks like old technology. [No Hope, it's a modern jeep. You're just from futureland.

With a bit of grunting he pops the hood and peers into the engine. ... And makes a huge face because how the heck can this thing even run when all these components. Well, only one way to find out. He takes off his gloves (but not his wrist bandanna, oh no) and starts getting his hands dirty with the engine. His Renamon makes an affronted noise because what the hell.]

Uh. Do you...know how to drive?

[video]

[skycutter]

Yeah.

... Kind of? Nothing like this though. This is a really weird car.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

I...wouldn't. If you don't know how to drive it...

[video]

[skycutter]

I didn't say I was going to drive it now.

[lastnerv]

[Shrug!] It looks like a car to me.

[video]

[skycutter]

For you maybe, you're probably from a different world than me...

[video]

[lastnerv]

Ah, right. [He almost forgot about that.] Well, the place I'm from used to have a Tokyo, so a lot of this is sort of familiar for me. At least it's not really different from Tokyo-3.

[video]

[skycutter]

See? I don't know anything about Tokyo. I've never seen a 'Tokyo' in my life, and a car isn't like this at home. They're more... [holds up his hands, trying to think of a word] streamlined I guess?

And they hover. This one doesn't.

It's an old looking model, isn't it... I think we have a few cars that look similar to it a bit back at home, though.

[ She is intrigued. As someone also from a futuristic galaxy and a previous machinery worker, Orine is definitely curious.

Oh, wait. Did he just open the-- Well then. ]

Ah! Is- Is it okay to open it like that? [ Does it belong to someone? ]

[skycutter]

It's pretty dusty right now and this oil... well, I don't think it's supposed to be this gummy. [Holds up a hand and... ew. Thick and black gunk on his fingers.]

I don't think someone's owned it for a while, so I guess it's fine?

video

[anchi]

Ah, so it's an old unused car...? [ Poor car. ] Are you planning to fix it?

[skycutter]

When I manage to understand how exactly this car's like. [Not an 'if', nope.]

[recollection]

[Oh hey, it's that boy that she met on the first day here. Hopefully the person who owns the car doesn't mind that it's open.]

...Should you really be doing that?

video;

[skycutter]

Why not? I don't think it has an owner right now and having some kind of vehicle's better than walking everywhere.

video;

[recollection]

Perhaps...

There maybe be regulations on using it, though. [She supposes sticking your head inside one is okay, but driving might be a different story.]

[skycutter]

Well, it's not like this place has rules about that kind of thing, or else Light would have told me about that.

Would you even listen to me if I did tell you about 'rules'?

Well, yeah!

[Naturally, the kid in the cape and tights is pinged by the mention of cars. An auto lover true. Gabumon has half of his head poking into the screen too. He looks content observing and not moving from his spot.]

That's a Jeep. They're bulky, sure, but they're good all terrain vehicles. Gas guzzlers, too.

video;

[skycutter]

Should have known about the gas... [Yeah, he's a little disgruntled there.]

I see a battery I think, so why should there even be a need for gas?

video;

[brentwood]

[Weird question.]

It's to convert the energy in the engine into mechanical energy in the drive shaft and wheels. It's what creates the force to drive the pistons in the engine. I mean, there's some electrical cars coming out, but it's not this one.

[Don't mind Luke's big grin, you sort of remind him of someone.]

You seem to know your way around it pretty well, for something you can barely recognize.

[video]

[skycutter]

Vehicles are usually similar inside.

[video]

[sacredflameslight]

[Look at you, being all logical about it and stuff.]

Right. Would you really consider that bulky, though? [Yeah, Luke clearly has no idea what he's talking about here. But that's by far the smallest vehicle he's ever seen.] Sorry, guess I don't really have anything helpful to add. Not that it looks like you need it.

[martianimalism]

Old technology? Just how advanced is your tech to think that?

[skycutter]

A lot of people around here seem convinced that you really should have gas to get our car to run, but it really isn't.

Besides, these cars cant hover.

[martianimalism]

Cool! Your cars back home can hover? Like a space ship?
