Does anyone have one?
I want one too 🎁







(And like, 45 minutes later: )

Wow, this is pretty difficult❗❗❗
I can't figure it out at all.
🤔💭 Does anyone know how to use a car❓ (╹ ᴗ╹)?

What's a transmission?

[busternaut]

[..........OK yeah he probably should've expected that answer.]





it's a thing that makes the car go.

forget it for now, it's not important.

[He'll just figure it out when he's there.]

[cranekin]

Wait.
Is it going to be the test?
If it is, that's important! Tell me!

[busternaut]

I've never taken a test here, how should I know???

Fine, I'll give you a simple definition: it's a complicated set of gears the driver controls with a stick that lets you switch what mode you're driving the car in. Switching between forward and reverse motion is the most obvious example.

[cranekin]

Well, you should.
It's fifty questions long and then you have to take another test to show you can drive. After that, you still can't drive alone! You need to have a senior with you at all times!
Also, they said there might even be a school we have to go to!
If you don't take it, you can't drive here!

(This is pretty standard driver's ed but Tsurumaru is offended. Back in his day, you just got on a horse and you stayed on it or it kicked you off.

But also, he hopes the doctor and everyone is proud of him for giving good, mature advice!!!!)

Hey, how about you take the test first. You know more than me so you can tell me how it goes.

[busternaut]

[Poor Tsuru... Poor, poor Tsuru...]

Sorry my guy, but I think there's been a misunderstanding here: I haven't taken the test in this country 'cuz I don't need to. I sat in with Seok Dang and got myself an international license while we were in Vegas, I'm golden.

[cranekin]

Then you can train me to drive instead.
Practical experience is the same as studying.

[busternaut]

...Yeah I guess I could do that.

Don't expect me to go easy on you though ;)

[He will go easy on him. He's not a hardass like Yzak :/]

[cranekin]

Please go easy on me.
I'm very old.

[busternaut]

How old we talkin'?

[cranekin]

I stopped counting after a thousand.

1/2

[busternaut]

[......]

2/2

[busternaut]

you sure you're alright to be driving at that age, gramps?

[cranekin]

They just said I had to be at least 18!

[busternaut]

Y'know what? Fair enough.

Let me know when you want me to drop by, I'll try and show you the ropes.
