[rideme]

Hah!

[And this would be Dad #1 heading to the back door. Because if they're going to do battle, it's probably best not to do it where things can break.]

[rassera]

[You better get out there fast, Bull, cause he leaps down the rest of those stairs and books it for the backyard. THROWDOWN SHOWDOWN


MEET HIM BY THE SWINGS.


YOU KNOW. THE ONES THAT DON'T EXIST!]


Hope you're ready, Jiji!

[rideme]

You sure about this, kid?

[Oh Kaneda, he's already there and leaning casually by the fence. That counts as nonexistent swings right?]

[And he's not totally serious about the question, either. It's teasing.]

[rassera]

More than sure!

[And as if to prove it, he just...takes off his shirt. Yeah. They're gonna go shirtless wrestling outside.


HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. IT SHOWS. LOOK HOW MUCH IT SHOWS.


And how he's trying hard not to crack up.]

[rideme]

... What the hell are you stripping for?

[He glances around, looking up at the house. Then over at the fence.]

Maya around somewhere?

[rassera]

Google Earth.


Always taking pics.

i cant believe you

[rideme]

...

The fuck is google earth.

[rassera]

Some map Maya showed me on the comm.


It takes pictures of the Earth you can actually see.

[rideme]

...

I want to see this.

[rassera]

...

Got your comm on you?

[rideme]

Sure, hold on.

[As he digs in the pocket of his pants -- plain old blue exercise pants this time. You're lucky, Kaneda.]

[rassera]

[He'll thank the fish later, softly taking the comm in his hands and (temporarily) switching the search language to Japanese as he types, at a much faster and more proficient rate than he did before. From there he goes to Google Earth, and then quickly types in Nonah, North Carolina, switching it back to English after that and placing it in Bull's large palm.]


Take a look.

[rideme]

[Bull scowls for a few moments, staring at the comm in his hands. And then his expression brightens. He's busily tapping away at it, grinning with entirely too many teeth showing.]

Holy shit!

There's us!

[rassera]

[It's a bit of an old picture, taken maybe a few weeks ago with Bull outside and Kaneda pulling what looks to be an orange vespa into the backyard, but it's certainly them, as Kaneda peeks over to get a good look.]

Heeeeeyyy whattya know, it IS us.

[rideme]

Look at that!

How the hell did they get that...?

[As he looks up, just in case there's a sky camera or some shit up there.]

[rassera]

What'd I tell ya....always takin' pics!

[As he gives Bull a little playful elbow.]

[rideme]

[He elbows back out of sheer reflex, before he glances up to the sky.]

[And.]

[Fucking flexes.]

[rassera]

Itai itai itai...

[You're so lame, Bull!]

That's so painful!

[rideme]

Hey, art is suffering, kid.

C'mon. I'm going to be the only one in the picture here.

[rassera]

[At that, he just slumps on the fence in the backyard, back against it as he tilts his head to the side, cheek facing up towards the sky.]

Gotta make sure it captures my best side, you know?

[rideme]

You have a good side?

[He says, with one of those lopsided grins that says "I know I'm being an asshole and I accept the consequences."]

[rassera]

All of em, but I can only show one side at a time.

Or everyone would go blind from how hot I am.

[rideme]

[He pauses, and then reaches over to cover Kaneda's face with an entire palm.]

Huh. Feels sort of clammy to me.

[rassera]

[Have you ever seen a teen boy go from suave to 'total shitface' in one second, cause that's what's happening with Kaneda right now, hands flailing to try and do....SOMETHING to Bull. He's not sure what. He'll decide when it happens.]

Oi, oi! You ever WASH those things?!

[rideme]

Every day.

[But he's going to keep his hand over the kid's face. Until Kaneda manages to do something, that is.]
