who: Eichi & You! (Some closed prompts in here, too)
what: Catch-all for the AU event!
when: FORWARD DATED 6-14 through 6-24
where: Various places in the quarantine
warnings: Uhhh health talk that's about it

[The most difficult thing to deal with in regards to Eichi's ambition is probably his health. He's been feeling mostly good for the past month, taking it easy, so why was it that now that he wanted to really get things done, even taking a walk was making his chest ache? Each beat of his heart was throbbing, irregular, and something as simple as taking in oxygen was painful in a way that's hard to put to words.

Despite that, he's really determined to get to where he wants to be. He could be on any of the crowded streets of the city, stumbling a little too much if anyone bumps into his shoulder. This is an issue that goes on for days— he walks, his body strains, and a coughing fit turns into something worse.

You could run into him:
A. Literally fainting on you, sorry
B. Coughing up blood as he supports himself against the wall of some building
C. Looking paler than ever and asking for directions
D. He's not watching where he's going and runs into someone

He's a mess. Hopefully he doesn't get sick on anyone.]

(OOC: I just thought I'd throw up an open post too for anyone who wants new CR and didn't plot with me! If you can't work with this prompt, just hit me up and I'll write us something closed that works better.)

CLOSED TO VICTOR

[finethanks]

Do you have a license for something like this, Victor-kun?

[Of all the times to ask that, maybe the best isn't as he's climbing behind him and onto the moped. Still, it hits him now that there might be something that you need for driving one of these things around... right? He's not actually sure.

Well, the answer won't change his mind, either way. Victor is someone who has excellent control over his own body, so there's no real worry that he'll have any trouble with a moped. So, he settles in behind him easily, wrapping his arms around him and then peering around to see the front of it.]

This does seem the best way to find something to do, though. ♪

[enticeing]

( Victor laughs off the question and associated concern (if there'd really been any), getting a feel for the moped's controls. )

Not specifically!

( Besides, with how they end up here it's not like he probably doesn't have a license stashed away somewhere. That nice tired man had already announced things were off kilter for a reason related to the thing that brought them here and the thing from his world or whatever that'd been. Victor merely turns his head and flashes Eichi a grin. )

Is that discouraging?

( Giving on real time for him to respond, Victor goes. Surprisingly smooth as he kicks them off and joins the flow of traffic on the street, not too crowded in this part of town. Calling out loud enough to be heard, he asks: )

First interesting sight we see, we pull over!

( There. A travel plan. )

[finethanks]

Ah—

[Give him a second to process this, goodness! Instead, he has to squeeze Victor a little, leaning into his back rather than around him and staying safe where he is. He almost had a heart attack...]

So we're going to drive around aimlessly, then...? [Eichi is trying to speak up, but he can only get so loud with these lungs of his, so he might still be drowned out. Either way, he turns his head to the side to cautiously watch what they're passing. Plenty of people out and doing things...]

There are so many interesting things, though.

[enticeing]

( Victor, who might well opt to ignore him if he so decides, hums something noncommittal and signals for a left turn. There's a street stand set back on the sidewalk with a variety of whirligigs and bubbles floating around it, advertising something about being blown away. Fascinating stuff, and more than a bit juvenile.

Victor drives past, responding too late to really be polite. It's not intentional so much as a mark of his wide eyed distraction. )

Hey, do you like puppies?

( This is best asked when driving mopeds. Like right now. )

[finethanks]

[Honestly, Eichi doesn't mind being ignored in this particular case, and it's purely because his own mind is wandering too. He'd be very bothered if he actually noticed.

The question draws his attention and he blinks at the back of Victor's head.]

Puppies? Ah, well, they're quite cute, yes. Why do you ask?

[enticeing]

( Victor lifts a hand (while driving? at least it's the one controlling nothing too important, just, well, brakes) to indicate a big flashy sign with puppies sprawled and rolling across it. )

They caught my eye.

( This is a giant sign for a puppy cafe. Puppies. It also advertises puppy races, puppy ball games, and most importantly, teatime puppy naps. )

[finethanks]

Fufu, is Victor-kun actually a puppy fan? I've found out quite a secret. A cafe like that seems like the type of place you'd expect to find young girls...

[It's so cute? He doesn't even seem to consider that Victor just lifted a hand up while driving this moped.] Let's go, then.
