[Mav doesn’t hate Kano!!! DMV experiences are only for those that deserve to suffer or otherwise don’t have a choice in it.]

I’m not fucking fourteen anymore.

[suddenlybees]

Haha, but what if I am?

[ Orihime thinks he's twelve or something??? He could probably pass off for twelve... And he's not sure Maverick ever found out how old he actually is, just as Kano never cared to dig around and find Maverick's age. ]

Did you really do that when you were fourteen? Do you have a collection of signs sitting around your room back home? If they're just sitting around collecting dust, give 'em to me~

[deuteranope]

Nope. You’re too stupid to be four years younger than me and in some of the same classes.

[Which he only knows for sure because of the Pepita job.]

I was more about random knick knacks, not street signs. We did it once, though.

[suddenlybees]

Hey, hey, if I'm four years younger and in the same classes, doesn't that make me the smart one!?

[ Or Maverick's the dumb one... But he can't see that. Kano's only an 11th grader only by technicality anyways, and probably should be bumped down to a lower level so he can have a better chance of learning the basics and keep up, but nah, nah, he'll manage. ]

What sign did you pick up?

[deuteranope]

That’s how I know you can’t be fourteen, dumdum.

[It would be Impossible.]

Uhh. One of those curvy arrow ones. Nothing exciting. I’m gonna say you’re at 12/20.

[suddenlybees]

[ It's not that impossible..... yeah it is. ]

Curry arrows... Dunno what that is, but it sounds confusing! You probably prevented traffic accidents by nabbing it~ But alright! That's a large jump from three to twelve!! Is it a yard sale? That doesn't count as a shop, right?

[deuteranope]

[Hm... He doesn't know if that should count as a shop or not.]

It's not something where you'd need money to get what you want. By which I mean nobody fucking expects money in exchange, wether you use your five finger discount or not.

[suddenlybees]

[ Someplace that invites stealing........... ]

A community garden.

[deuteranope]

[Maverick looks over with a look of pure ??????

A community garden... Well, if you were super creative with the truth, maybe.]

That's not something I'd think of you liking on my own.

[Time to bus. Window seat or not, ?Kano? autocorrect added the one in front and whatever I'm keeping it that's a constant mood]

[suddenlybees]

[ Is a community garden not somewhere you go to pick vegetables for free???

?Kano? takes the window seat, face and hands pressed up against the window, in case the ride is short enough and he has enough questions left to make a guess just as they're coming up to something outdoors, related to traffic signs, and encouraging theft. Something Maverick thinks he'll like... Though that's the nature of a gift, and if Kano can't think of something he likes, how is Maverick supposed to? ]

How difficult... Give me a hint! I get three lifelines? Let me phone a friend!

[ aka let him be super furtive and send Maverick a text ]

Where are we going??
Shhhh be discrete about it
Don't let this guy hear

[deuteranope]

[Depends on who you are...

Maverick rolls his eyes, assuming Kano is asking Ramona and even assuming the text he gets is her asking him in return until he glances at the screen. Stupid. But it's the kind of stupid that Mav evidently enjoys because he's grinning again as he goes to type out a reply.]

you want the full deets? it'll cost you...
a bag of snacks out of your winnings. deal?

[suddenlybees]

[ Maybe Kano will get Ramona's number in that other thread yet, or otherwise glean it off Maverick's phone when he's not looking. ]

High stakes!!!!!!
You really know how to milk a situation for all it's worth!!!!
But I guess I'm at the end of my rope here...
Alright, alright!
Go ahead and bleed me try!
Give me the full deets!!

[deuteranope]

[Come on, of course she slips him her number at some point. They gotta gossip.]

well
it’s more of like a gift for someone else but she ain’t around to enjoy it so
we’re gonna go in her honor
figure you might miss her
Mama’s junker finally fucked yo beyond repair and they got whatever parts stripped already
just an old beater in the junkyard now
we’re gonna fuck it up for fireball

[suddenlybees]

[ Ramona is the only person he spares from 3AM texts. She gets 6AM texts instead. ]

.........Ellie would've loved that.
Is it alright, though?
Trashing it??

[ His eyes flick up to Maverick's face and then back down to his phone. ]

We gotta take a video!!!
She's going to be sooooooooooooooooooo jealous!!!!!!!

[deuteranope]

[#blessed...maybe she’ll reconsider that thing about not getting a second son.

Mav’s face is a lot more slack on the performative aspect when he’s texting, though he does a thing where he looks up occasionally in the middle of a sentence before going back to fix it to something he likes better, and he seems to be chewing the inside of his snakebite piercings when there’s a pause in expression. In general, though, his smile touches on relieves instead of just being smug, and he replies easily.]

like I said it got stripped of anything worthwhile
we’re good
and we can pick up a bunch of other weird garbage
if you want

I’ll get good clips on both our phones

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano knows nobody else who goes back and edits their sentences, although Kano himself has plenty of time to formulate his thoughts, seeing as he's got to punch the same number multiple times to get a single letter. Texting is a pain, maybe he can find a newer phone in this junkpile. ]

Please please please please please let there be the steering where still there!!!
I don't think taking videos on my phone's a good idea, though~
I'll have to leave you in charge of it, and send me the good clips~

[deuteranope]

the fuck do you need a steering wheel for

[And he does want to be sure to get plenty of evidence using Kano’s shitty phone, not just his. Somehow it feels like a more genuine sibling jab, that way... But that would be embarrassing to explain, so never mind.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano has illegal things on his phone nobody is allowed to touch or see, so he'll just have to rely on Maverick sending him things and him pretending they're his own when he sends them to Ellie..... ]

What if I need to steer something someday?

[deuteranope]

[Like Maverick would care.........but yeah, doable.]

you can’t put a steering wheel on a motorbike jsyk

[suddenlybees]

I bet I can make it work~
Provide a motorbike and I'll prove it~

[deuteranope]

they don’t steer like cars you will die trying you stupid bastard

[But at most he’s just kind of raising his eyebrow, only vaguely insistent about it in reality.]

[suddenlybees]

They steer left and right and a wheel turns left and right!
Right??
I won't die, I'll practice with training wheels first!

[deuteranope]

no
I mean like in general yeah but no it’s

[Uhh. He wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. He’s not a biker, he doesn’t know the best way to explain this...]

it’s just different more obviously physicsy
training wheels will probably help you die faster

[suddenlybees]

Suddenly, I don't think I know what a motorbike is

[deuteranope]

[.............No, he decides. He's not surprised. He addresses Real Kano instead of Phone Kano this time.]

Do you mean like a motorized dirtbike or a motorcycle when you say motorbike?
