*Paru is wandering around Junes, looking rather disappointed at the selection of clothing, before heading out to the food court. She's carrying a big bag from Tatsumi Textiles, and looks pretty open to socialization for once. You might want to bother her while she's less likely to snark you so hard you burst into flame.*

[Getting something on his lunch break, walking past with his order when he spots her.]

Well if it isn't miss famous. How's it goin'?

[support_dapowah]

Oh, it's you. It's going, I guess. What about you?

[sometimesidrive]

Can't complain. It's quiet, at least. You got a moment? I got a couple questions, and I think you might know.

[support_dapowah]

I might not answer, but go ahead.

[sometimesidrive]

Fair enough. Just... [eyes kind of cutting both ways, food court's empty enough] you've always been better with these kind of issues that don't make any damn sense. You hear anything weird about any dreams?

[support_dapowah]

... Tell me what you know.

[sometimesidrive]

What I know is that I had a real fucked up dream, an' I've managed to find a couple others who either I saw in it, an' remembered it, or in one case, described somethin' really similar. I can give you names, if you want. Just this ruined city - apparently it's an actual city, just not one I've been to. Should we really be talkin' about this in the open?

[Looking past her for a second.]

It doesn't make sense, an' hell, the last time somethin' didn't make sense, you were the one in the dorms who was able to piece together what we knew. I figured, you might have heard something already, or at the least you'd be able to figure it out faster than I could.

*There's a short pause.*

... You can drive, right?

[sometimesidrive]

...Paru, I'm a mechanic, and I was a street racer on days the old team didn't need me. Hell, you've driven with me. Remember the hospital?

[support_dapowah]

... Yes, I remember that, which is why I'm asking.

Though, to phrase it better. Can you drive legally?

[sometimesidrive]

Oh. Yeah, I'm certified to drive everything but semi-trucks, sure. Why, you need a driver or somethin'?

[support_dapowah]

If you want to talk in a private place, my place is as good a place as any.

[sometimesidrive]

Right. You need a ride? I've got my bike still.

[support_dapowah]

Yeah, it's not too far from here. You've got a spare helmet?

[sometimesidrive]

No, but go ahead and use mine. I think we can agree it's not protectin' anything important.

[support_dapowah]

All right, then. Let's go.
