strong together, united forever, they're the best of friends

[alexanderofny]

[Adrian and his passengers are taking this route.]

[ergaleomancer]

[[Theta's made it as far as the entrance to the highway, and she's waving at anyone that looks like they might give her a ride.]]

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri was tagging along, mostly, because it saved her from having to hot wire Scott's car, and meant it could be dismantled later, her notebook and chalk in hand]

[alexanderofny]

[Adrian pulls over and leans out the window.]

Coming to investigate?

[ergaleomancer]

Mr. Veidt! How fortuitous~. I'd be most grateful for a ride~.

[[She has hijacked one of the kids' school bags and stuffed it with a few notebooks, plenty of pencils, and a camera and plenty of film, as well as a couple of sandwiches that will probably soon be squished, but ah well.]]

[alexanderofny]

Come on, then.

[leans back to look at the others]

Make room-

[ergaleomancer]

[[And she settles in the back seat of the car. Woe betide whoever is sitting on her left, as hidden in her trousers is a very awkward metal and wood machine surrounding her left knee, and knocking into it will hurt.]]

[bluefrompallet]

Thanks for the ride~ Hope I'm not in the way! Got any plans for where to go?

[ She'll be trying to think thin and not disturb any other passengers. ]

[alexanderofny]

We're just trying to see what's out there.

[hontobakabaka]

"Besides, isn't a road trip a rite of passage?"

[alexanderofny]

[Veidt shrugs and drives on.]

[kleptophile]

Okay, so...you got any idea where the hell this might take us? 'Cause I ain't exactly heard good things about the last time people were able to leave Mayfield.

[alexanderofny]

[turning round to give him THIS FACE]

If we die, we'll come back, yes?

[so unconcerned]

[ergaleomancer]

[[Theta shudders. Since losing all of her memories of her time with Albedo, death has returned to being unpleasant. However, she can't argue with Veidt's logic, so she quickly puts on a smile of her own.]]

With death as impermanent as it is, we can afford to be brave~.

Sorry! Work has been a butt!

[hontobakabaka]

"I'd still rather not die. If I had to decide."

/reads posting order wrong, fails at life

[kleptophile]

Yeah, well, I've died once now. Pretty sure one of the reasons you're only ever supposed to do it once is because it's exactly as bad as it sounds and no one should have to do it twice. [Bitter? Lyn? No.] I've lived in Hell, and dying is still pretty high up there on the list of Shit I Never Wanna Do Again.
