[The video feed opens to a viewing of a motorcycle, before it turns around to focus on a grinning teenager in red sunglasses.]

Guess this places like me after all.

[He's not sure why he was suddenly granted a motorcycle, but he's not complaining. Also, should a teenager that has slightly impaired vision even be driving? Don't worry about it. Also don't worry about the fact that he definitely does not have a motorcycle license. Or a helmet.]

Is that a Harley? Damn, nice.

voice;

[laserguy]

Sure is.

[Yeah, he's not even hiding how pleased he is right now. Scott doesn't even own a broken down car at home, so this is really nice.]

I think it's one of the newer models too. ['Newer' for Scott, at least. It's still from the 80s.]

[nightwild]

Is this place trying to suck up to you for some reason? Or did you just luck out?

[Fauna doesn't know quite enough to identify how new or old the model is, but she's still pretty excited.]

I didn't know you could drive a motorcycle!

[laserguy]

Yeah, well, I had a crash course from our resident motorcycle gang leader. Former, anyway.

[He needed to learn when they had to travel really far to get to one of those terminals. Scott's now doubly glad to have learned all that shit from Mikey.]

Get yourself a leather outfit and put on a helmet, kid.

voice;

[laserguy]

Leather, huh? I think you're onto something there.

Don't need a helmet though. That's only for people who crash.

What the hell??

[it's a good "what the hell" though]

That's not even fair!! Can I take it for a spin sometime??

[Hey Yosuke--]

No.

[Scott has to remind everyone that he is sometimes a bitch.]

yeah it just sort of appeared for me, like a gift. don't worry, i turned it on and it didn't explode, so not a trap. heh, maybe you giving me that toy motorcycle for my birthday contributed to all this.

yeah yeah i will. come on, it's like my first car. except it's a motorcycle.

[His baby!!]

[invinciblemikey]

look at you. think u can race me now?

[laserguy]

[Mikey!! He especially wants to show it off to the biker leader...]

just name the time and place.

[Does Scott actually think he can beat Mikey in a race? No, but he still wants to race him.]

Nice!

[Motorcycles were cool, it was too bad he'd never had one and they didn't seem to be sold here.]

voice;

[laserguy]

Yeah, and don't worry, I didn't kiss up to Jerry or any crap like that.

[He doesn't want anyone to get the wrong impression!!]

This just suddenly appeared for me when I went outside my house.

[Look, Caitlyn's knowledge motorcycles is limited to her time here, and after having Vi in her life for so long now, she knows better than to bother wasting her time trying to talk someone out doing something stupid and dangerous. It's best to just encourage safe habits instead. She doesn't respond immediately to this, because she's doing research on what to suggest for him.]

Don't let Vi see this, or she might be wanting one next.

text; un: shades

[laserguy]

i don't see the problem in that.

long as she doesn't take mine of course.

come on caitlyn, it'd be a benefit to you too.

[He knew Gwen would understand!! She's totally a bro.]

only for the best. :p

it started up just fine and i tested it out a little, so it looks good. probably won't explode. i'm gonna take kotone out on a ride soon.

[Today, Altius is finalizing a few of his arrangements with a few suppliers for his recently-arrived business. It's almost like home, and for half a second, he can almost forget he's stuck in a virtual prison realm. He's even got a stereotypical briefcase with him, for crying out loud.

There's a lot of walking and very few cars involved in this place, however, so he's having to take his time through Aldrip's streets to get to his destinations. That fact does mean he eventually comes across one sunglasses-wearing teen bragging about his new motorcycle to the camera on his tablet, so it's not all bad, probably.

He slows to a stop, one hand in his pocket and eyebrows raised, waiting until Scott is done with one of his messages before speaking.]

Mr. Summers, [he says by way of greeting.]

[laserguy]

It's Scott, old man.

[What a nickname... but maybe the fact that Scott's given Altius that sort of moniker is a good sign? Like he doesn't feel as uncomfortable or awkward around him. It seems that team up they did during the Dark Hour further helped his impression of the older man, their first interaction just a fluke of bad circumstances and all that. Of course, Scott has some reservations, but he's too much in a good mood anyway to be anything but outwardly pleased and just a little reckless.

Some good ol' teenager behavior.]

Here to be jealous of my new ride?

[Scott almost seems to imply that Altius should be jealous.]

[ Ange should probably be glad for a good friend getting something he's clearly enjoying, right?

And maybe she would have, considering it's Scott and she likes him well enough. But this particular present.. Even just seeing it on a video feed like this is filling her with dread, even if it's being expressed - as usually - as a pokerface and a very deadpan tone when she speaks up. ]

No, I think this place give that to you because it hates us.

[ There's a certain implication in there, huh.. ]

[laserguy]

[So cold, Ange........]

Come on Ange, don't be like that. [Scott doesn't seem to miss a beat though, still beaming at the video.] I'll even let you ride with me sometime.

[Kotone gets first rights, but he doesn't mind showing off to his friends afterward.]

private; for peter

[laserguy]

[Scott's been worried about Peter ever since he returned, his words still ringing in his ears. It stings, thinking of what his friend is going through: being forgotten, getting fully treated as a criminal...

He remembers Peter helping him out, swinging him around the city before hitting the rooftop, and--]

hey Peter

busy??

[spidermenaces]

Uh not really
Spider-coffee can wait

What's up?
