[CLOSED] Operation German Quick Travel Points

[whiteshroud]

WHO: Jun, Ash, Harusmasa, Ana, and Fugo
WHERE: Europe (Germany/Italy specifically)
WHEN: Sometime in March before their lives inevitably blows up with drama again
WHAT: Roadtrip!
WARNINGS: None currently, will add as needed



It started with a simple enough dream for Jun: taking Varian to see Germany for his birthday.

However, it of course becomes a lot more complicated when Varian was cursed to never leave the presence of the Spirit Realm. Still, complications weren't enough to deter Jun. After spending months researching in private and making what arrangements he could from Kaisou, he's now in one of the final phases of his plan: traveling to a German Spirit Vein so he'll be able to teleport to it later.

For this, he's enlisted the help of his siblings, who agreed to travel with him and help be his guide. Not to mention, it was a good chance for them to spend some quality time together. Families are supposed to have roadtrips together. Fugo was also coming along, as a chance for him to see Europe with his boyfriend and get to know the family better.

And so, a quick teleport to Copenhagen and a RV rental later (Ash's idea), they were on the road.

[OOC: Catch all log for this trip! Feel free to make toplevels of any kind under the relevant subcomments]

ON THE ROAD

[whiteshroud]

[For any threads that take place while they are driving on the road or stopping briefly (like rest stops or gas stations). They are traveling in an RV with 5 people, with turns being taken by the people who can drive (not Jun and not Ana if you value your life). There's 5 people, a few pokemon pets, and a bangboo dressed like a fed and regularly strapped to a baby car seat. ]

at some point after leaving Copenhagen

[switchaxe]

Anyone wanna tell me why the FBI rabbit is in a baby seat?

[Or, really, why the have an FBI rabbit at all?]

[whiteshroud]

[Jun is sitting at the table, doodling in his sketchbook. Without looking up-]

He's too small to ride in a car without one.

[He says calmly like this makes the least bit of sense]

[switchaxe]

Okay one, that answers nothing. Two, it's an RV, we don't gotta worry about that.

[whiteshroud]

[.....huh okay point]

Well, then it just looks really cute?

[switchaxe]

[. . .]

Can't argue with that, I guess.

[whiteshroud]

[Jun nods understanding. That's right, you can't argue against cute]

Hey, give me a prompt to draw.

[switchaxe]

Huh? Hell, I dunno...Bangboo climbin' a tree?

[whiteshroud]

....

[He looks over at Agent Gulliver curiously]

Do you think Bangboos can climb trees?

[switchaxe]

They're stackable, aren't they?

[Stand on each other's heads!]

[life_ethereal]

[Harumasa gasps dramatically.]

Agent Gulliver is part of the family! Of course it needs a baby seat in order to be safe in the car. You really wouldn't want a Bangboo being driven around without a seat belt!

[Eh-nah. (Executive Officer Asaba is correct.)]

See? Even Agent agrees with me.

[switchaxe]

Hazel, for all I know Agent just told me to go fuck myself. You could be lying. And it's an RV, we don't need a baby seat for an RV.

[life_ethereal]

Why would I lie about what Agent Gulliver is saying?

[The Bangboo does its best approximation of a sage nod.]

Ashes, have you ever picked up a Bangboo? That's like saying you shouldn't secure a bowling ball with a laser gun attached to it. Plus, it has excellent navigation skills!

[Ehna-ehn-ehna. (Indeed, navigating the streets are far simpler than navigating Hollows.)]

Agent's agreed with me again~ Maybe you should start learning the Bangboo language.

[switchaxe]

Yeah, Pat got one recently. Boocciarati's not that hard to handle.

[Their Bangboo is just well-behaved. Mostly.]

An' I'd give it a shot if it made fuckin' sense. It's just noises!

[whiteshroud]

[Jun has no drivers license, which immediately eliminates him from the pool of drivers. It's never been made clear why he never obtained one, but you might get an idea as he slides into the passenger seat next to the driver during the drive]

Soooooo I hear the German Autobahn has no speed limit, is that true? How fast do you think this RV could go?

[Nothing about any of his behavior this trip indicates he's in a rush. No, rather the glint in his eyes is pretty similar to the one he gets right before he does stuff like jump off buildings back in Kaisou. An adrenaline junkie seeing a a chance to get a hit.

Do not. Let him drive. ]

[switchaxe]

[Sweet mother of God, Jun, why are you like this?!]

Nope.

[whiteshroud]

Huh?

[Feigning innocence!]

What do you mean "nope"?

[switchaxe]

You heard me. We are not pushin' this thing to the limit. I want my deposit back!

[whiteshroud]

Booooooo.

[He says, but in a deadpan way that indicates he's not actually mad. LAME]
