So they call this place Florida, like "flowery," you know? But really, they should have called it Cacata Carta because it's a real piece of crap.

[He nods, then bobs his head from side to side, rolling this new information around.]

Mm, true. You up to it?

[And so, there it is. He asks. He points around his own eye with a thumb, so it's clear what he means, but he neither asks doubtfully nor over-gently. It's just a question. What's your self-assessment, Kaiba? You know yourself best.]

[Not necessarily what he was expecting, but he'll take it. He looks the bike over, gives a one shoulder shrug and a smug smirk.]

Do you want it back, and do you want it back in one piece? [Maybe that second question should be concerning but listen...

(Also, is it going to be weird and different with just one eye? He has no idea. But he refuses to imagine that riding a bike, even one with an engine and a very real chance of killing him if he fucks up, is that much harder than doing anything else with one eye. A little practice and a little wobble of balance and then everything will work out. Surely.)]

I want you back in one piece, dude. Tell me you're at least gonna wear a helmet.

[Why should he care about the motorcycles when he has an almost infinite supply to very little demand? It's like living in a video game. Or having an Armiger full of bikes, minus the convenience of pulling them out of thin air.]

[He laughs, and then he realizes that Prompto was probably serious about that.] I can't say I was planning on it.

[photoshooter]

Nope, Quicksilver Deliveries and Motorcycle Repair stands for safe riding!

[Never mind that Prompto only wears a helmet when Lucina's around.]

...At least the first time you get on, anyway.

[playthedamncard]

Is that really what you're calling it. Did you make that up on the spot?

[photoshooter]

No! I made it up, like, at least a couple weeks ago. What's wrong with what I'm calling my business?

[playthedamncard]

This is going to sound downright insane coming from me, but--is there really a need for business here?

[photoshooter]

No, but what else are we supposed to do? I mean, getting people junk and hunting and fixing things is all stuff I'd do anyway, but, like, at least this way I get to feel like an accomplished member of society.

[playthedamncard]

Well. [He's been trying to do his part, which mostly has come in the form of taking Zombina's map and trying to sort through parts, to cobble together something useful to them all. It has yet to work out in a way he's satisfied with.] At least someone does.

[photoshooter]

...Weeeellll, first time for everything, right? I gotta find some way to help out. And this way makes it fun.

[He considers something, then tries:]

Wanna work for me?
