☆017-Get your motor running. Head out on the highway!

[live_ringer]

That was a new and interesting experience. Memories or no, I think I can safely assume I've never driven a dodgem to work before.

What's a dodgem?

[live_ringer]

It's a small car with rubber bumpers around it. Designed so that you don't crash when you hit things. ...Do you know what a car is?

[bal-daisy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've seen them in the Wilderness and stuff. It sounds fun!

[live_ringer]

It is, a bit. It also makes hauling things around the Scavenger's Yard easier since I can just hitch it to the back.

Say, short stuff, would you want a ride in it? [Kids love this kind of thing, right?]

[live_ringer]

By '>' do you mean it's more than 'new and interesting', more distressing, or what? Not that I'd dispute either of those, but your shorthand takes a little deciphering.

[Draws an arrow to the explanation he wrote to Krile.]

[beforerossum.livejournal.com]

[live_ringer]

Certainly won't argue that.

Oh, I'm sure it'll find a way to deliver some blow or another soon enough. You know, if you act like less of a brat you could get a ride?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

You have a car?

[live_ringer]

In a manner of speaking. Not exactly what you'd call a 'hot ride' but it does move from point A to point B. Bumpily.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

So you can actually use it here?

[live_ringer]

Yeah, but not necessarily whenever I choose. Once I step out the door I'm stuck in the thing, whether I want to be or not.

It's not terrible but I've got to admit, I'm a little wary about taking on the bridges just yet.

[spandexisyouth]

[After he has read the rest of the things.]

Oh! I have been in one! Months [pause.] Actually, about a year ago.

[live_ringer]

Really? I don't remember them being terribly common, then.

...But then, about this time last year, it was a bit of a free-for-all wasn't it? Huh.

Scratched out quickly

[spandexisyouth]

I do not think I had ever been in a 'car' before hand. Bridge and I had them in the park though.

And it was. Maybe this is not my fa

Scratched after 30 secs.

[live_ringer]

So they can safely be driven across the bridges? Good to know.

Interesting. Pen get away from you?

[lingeringlegacy]

You can't get off that car? Like Ambassador and his chair, then?

[live_ringer]

It looks like I can get out once I've reached my destination. It tends to get away from with me when I'm in transit, though.

I'd say I have one up on Ambassador in that I can steer mine, at least.

[lingeringlegacy]

Regardless, that adds the number of people with persistent objects. I wonder if Bell is still keeping tally.

I'm being followed by a pup since this morning. [pause] A talking one.

[live_ringer]

We could always ask.

And that makes at least two people experiencing talking animal syndrome. You wouldn't happen to find anything familiar about yours, would you?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

My list's at home, but I'll work on it again in a while.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

[after reading the comments so he knows what a dodgem is]

Do you at least drive it well? Or do you make frequent use of those bumpers on it?

[live_ringer]

Yes to all of the above.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ah. Good to know. I'll be steering clear of you, then. No offense.

[live_ringer]

None taken.
