[Phone]

Good morning. I know many of you are new in town, and may not be familiar with much of the technology here. If you aren't, please be careful when you leave the house; there are 'cars' [the quote around the word is audible] on the streets, and they can be very harmful in the event of a collision. Any healing abilities you may have back home are unfortunately gone, so please make sure you watch out for yourself, as much as that's possible in this town.

[The worst part is that he sounds completely earnest.]

[Action-- used car lot]

[There is a reason he's decided that he's a car expert, and that's because he's finally getting the hang of his job-- not the lying or anything like that, but at least how to talk about them and how to make them move.]

[He's showing off a car now, actually! And he drives it like a 16-year-old who just passed the written part of the test and has never actually been behind the wheel, but that doesn't stop him from getting out and patting the car like he just did something impressive.]

As you can see, it's a very--

[and then a spark jumps from his hand to the car and suddenly the whole thing is crackling with lightning]

...Ah.

Cars are reaaally dangerous! [ Someone learned this the hard way. ]

Re: Phone

[kyrannical]

They are. [and he nods along seriously on his end of the phone] I hope people can be more careful.

[jumpsinline]

They need to be! They're eeeeverywhere. [ She sounds equally serious, if a bit slow on the uptake. ] It really hurts to get hit by one, too.

[kyrannical]

That happened to... someone I know, unfortunately. [He doesn't want to name names, because it was his idiot son that got hit] It can be very difficult if you're not familiar with them.

[bye_to_yer_head]

... You think there's a load 'f people who don't know what cars are?

[kyrannical]

It's very likely, with so many people from different worlds.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Guess that's true. I met someone so far in th' future they didn't know what a bow an' arrows were.

[kyrannical]

Ah...

Conversely, I know what bow and arrows are, and yet in my world technology such as cars and electronics are relics of the past.

It's interesting, how different everything is.

[cutesy]

There aren't many bad drivers in Mayfield! I mean, the roads are always paved and everyone always stops at the stop signs! Why are you telling everyone to be careful of the cars, and not like, the really ugly clothing. [ She KNOWS bad drivers. There's no Rosalind signs of driving anywhere. ]

[kyrannical]

I don't know many people who have died from the clothing.

...Though I would not be surprised if someone had.

[cutesy]

Well, yeah. If you don't have good looking clothing, everyone mkaes fun of you and soon you start to hate yourself and then you're dead! On the inside! [ A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM... ]

That and sometimes you're allergic to the fabric and you just die from the reaction.

[kyrannical]

...That does sound serious. [he says it after a second, trying to be polite] Perhaps you should, ah, warn others of this as well.

my computer is fixed so i should be able to tag at a regular pace now! o/

[cutesy]

Of course! Haven't you heard the expression that she would literally die if she was caught in a dress like that?!

\o/ if only I weren't so busy moving in to school sob

[kyrannical]

I have not.

[intrigued!]

Does that happen often?

Action

[thenewnancydrew]

... Wow. Impressive.

[kyrannical]

It's... not supposed to do that.

[awkwardly clears throat]

[thenewnancydrew]

Not much of a car girl, but yeah, I kind of figured.

[kyrannical]

I can... assure you that it will not do that for most people, if it helps.

...I think.

Phone,

[pasodoble]

( Well, Spain already knew that but he doesn't mind the reminder, )

Ah, thank you for the warning, sir.

[kyrannical]

[that's okay because now he gets a nice fuzzy feeling from the idea of having protected some poor unsuspecting newcomer!]

It's no trouble. We all need to help each other out in this town.

[pasodoble]

( Then, he's glad to help then! Even if he isn't really new here but oh well no one has to know that. )

Mhmm, how true! Have you been here for long, my friend?

[kyrannical]

Not as long as most, I'm afraid. It's been about three months.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Steve gets out of the car like fuck, I have fucking heart problems are you trying to kill me. ]

...

That's not supposed to happen.

Re: Action

[kyrannical]

No, it's not, I apologize.

Are you alright?

Re: Action

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'll be fine, but I think we should get away from the car.

[ And uh, never let you drive again! ]

Have you... driven it before?
