Hmph

[WR Harthe]

Sparks would start to fly out of WR's hair. It wasn't enough to start a fire, but they would definitely burn anything they touched.

"Neither of you are perfect, so stop acting so fucking high. Damn. Take responsibility for your actions, understand how your choices affect others, and most importantly, don't FUCKING IGNORE ME!" They would snap at the last part, gritting their teeth as a final wave of sparks flew off of their head.

They would jolt onto the road to release the excess negative energy. They didn't know how much more bickering they could take.

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike was about to rebut Drake's words, until WR seemingly lost a bit of their cool and started driving rather harshly. So instead he would fold a leg over the other and point at the driver with his arm cut off before folding his arms and waiting quietly.

[Drake]

"Oh get over yourself half pint. Either one of us to could kill you in half a moment and then go home an not lose any sleep over it."

He would say as he folded his arms and leaned back into the seat.

[WR Harthe]

"Yeah, guess that's why I'm dead right now, all talk." They would mumble and roll their eyes as they pulled into the emergency part of the hospital, coming up with a story on a whim so the staff would take him in from the car.

Afterwards, they would try again.

"Where are we going?"

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike would close his eyes and lay his head on the back seats neck rest.

"I was going to go home after paying my respects to the place my father died, but now I'm interested in if you have done anything with your life yet, Drake? Have a base of operations?"

Spike legit expected a bar, or brothel, or 'massage parlor'.

[Drake]

"I have a room at the Apartments, a nice computer set up, I've made friends with a Hacker that was born in this world, she lives one floor above me... and I think she can link to computers with her head. Her soul is messed up dude. Like looks as if she is part machine, she dodged the question multiple times and tried to lie a few others. Either case there is something going on there."

Then he would indicate WR.

"I've also found you a new potential Driver, they're also a street racer, so I'd guess they have their ear to the heart beat of the underground so if you can work you magic maybe you can convince them to share."

He was about to continue when he noticeably shut his mouth.

"That... is all for now."

He would say, obviously hiding some other information.

[WR Harthe]

WR would just stare at the road, their ears flicking at the conversation until they were addressed.

"Hm?" They'd dart their eyes into the mirror to stare at Drake as he spoke. Another driver huh? What the hell was he on about?

"Right. We'll talk about it later." They'd focus back on the road. There was clearly more, but they weren't in the mood to interrogate him right now.

They would pick up the speed a bit as they headed for the apartments. They asked Spike twice where he was going and while he did give an answer the second time, they had no idea where the hell 'home' was, so they were just going off of Drake at this point.

[Sage Sudeki]

"Later, sure."

Spike would be a little disappointed in Drake. Seemed he hadn't done anything interesting yet. Though it must be as expected, since Spike has also just been doing his own thing.

[Drake]

Drake was debating whether or not to share about the strange people he had met so far, they were really sketchy... but strong. For now he would keep it to himself. Then he would turn to Spike.

"Have YOU found anything of note or worth interest? Or at least made new contacts? I can see that you think my contributions aren't enough, though as far as I'm concerned it seems that only one of us had their head on straight. While you were off crying about a daddy that didn't love you enough."

[WR Harthe]

WR would just listen in silence and take notes of the occasional statements they found interesting.

After a few minutes, they would pull into the meta apartment complex and throw an arm over the seat as they turned to face the guys.

"I got shit to do today, yeah? Drake, lemme know when you're down for lessons or something. I'm pretty free after today."

If neither of them got out of the car, they would just get out themself and go home.

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike would turn to Drake.

"Didn't have to, they found me."

Then he'd get out of the car.

"Thanks for the lift WR. Hope to talk to you again sometime."

He'd give a bow and then walk towards the apartments before looking at Rai.

"Well which one is it?"

[Drake]

Drake would nod.

"I'll text you next time I'm free."

He would say also getting out of the car. He would turn to look at Spike.

"Which one what?"

[WR Harthe]

WR would wave them off and drive away.

They went in for lunch, made it out with a whole ass car. Today was a good day.

[Sage Sudeki]

"Which one is yours? You said you had a computer."

Spike would chuckle. He noted WR taking off with the car... Rude.

[Drake]

Drake folded his arms.

"Yeah, I have a computer. I don't work for you here. My shit is my shit. So, why do you need access to MY computer in MY room?"
