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.]

[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.

[video]

[lastnerv]

Wow. I guess it wouldn't run on gas, either, if it was that advanced.

[video]

[skycutter]

I don't think so, no. I never got a chance to actually pick one apart so... [Shrugs.]

[video]

[lastnerv]

Mm. Either way, who knows how these work? It could be messed up from all the digital...stuff. [A pause.] That sounded dumber than I meant it to.

[video]

[skycutter]

Well, it's like... an engine and there's oil? I think as long as it's not electric it might be okay.

... I still need to work on this thing though. [It being unused for who knows how long, after all.]

[lastnerv]

And then you'll be the only person in the city with a car, which means everyone's going to want rides. [CAN'T NOT BE NEGATIVE.]

[video]

[skycutter]

Or help everyone get themselves started with their cars.

[video]

[lastnerv]

I guess that's not a bad job.

[video]

[skycutter]

Why would it be a job?

[video]

[lastnerv]

You'll want to get paid for it, right? How else are we supposed to get money around here.

[video]

[skycutter]

Why would I charge people money for that. [Not a question.] Everyone here has the same amount of money that that needs to be stretched out a lot. I'm not going to charge just because they want cars.

Besides, they can cover the spare parts expenses.

[Okay Hope Shinji is convinced you're a good person.



or at least good at hiding if you aren't.]

Very thoughtful of you.

[video]

[skycutter]

[Makes suspicious eyes at. Why you have moodwhiplash.]

... Yeah, I guess? But it's not like it's such a big deal.

[video]

[lastnerv]

Mm, I suppose not. Just thought that some less nice people would have used this to take advantage of others, especially the ones who haven't adapted to what's happening yet.
