(Setting) Kazuki's Apartment
| "You mean like life? I guess there would be. Seeing how big the universe is.
>AM Follows B through the garage.
| "Yeah, more so... Most of it's curiosity, but I wish I could go and see it myself.."
> She leads to the main door of the building, however as they draw near, engine sounds can be heard from lower levels of the garage.
| "That must be Kaz."
>AM moves towards the noise.
| "O-Oh.."
> B doesn't make an attempt to turn him away, instead following him down a few layers until they reach a long, spiral downwards tunnel, as if it's belonging to an above ground car lot. Next to it is the elevator and stairs, plus the sign above that reads 'you are at floor 4 of 20.'
| "As we were saying. I am sure that you would be able to get to space one day. After all, it's probably easier for you than me."
>AM presses the elevator button.
| "You really think so? How.. How is that?"
> The elevator opens promptly, B steps in and instinctively presses the bottom button, awaiting AM.
| "A. I'm an old man.
B. You can survive vacuum environments with little to no modification
C. Because you should go out more."
>AM lists a few reasons, as he enters the elevator.
| > B listens and thinks over his words carefully as the doors close, the elevator doesn't take long to start moving, the lights blinking an even rate down to the last floor.
"W-Well.. okay, that's not hard.. But getting there, isn't travel expensive?"
> The elevator opens to an area larger than the entire block itself, and a layer of asphalt ans grass slithers over the entire place. Small tents and workstations scatter the area as a bike zips across the track.
| "I'm sure that you will figure something out."
>AM looks over to the workstations.
| The sound is produced correctly from this area, a car, rather wide, but not tall, sits lifted off the ground, spinning wheels as Kazuki himself stands taking down what reads on a few small monitors.
| >(ooc: fuck)
| >AM instantly recognises the machine.
"What does the Dyno say Kaz?"
| > He looks up to the sound of AM. Taking out an earplug as he shouts back, suddenly drowned by the car's de-acceleration, when it was revving, it wasn't as loud!
"Redlines almost at 11,000! Horsepower's putting out at a strong 850."
| "Jesus! What are you trying to do? Race in the Wipeout league?"
>AM approaches the car, taking a good look at it and its' engine bay.
| > The design is oddly familiar to one of older vehicles.. A green and orange color scheme with the engine sitting just behind the driver... Actually taking up the whole back half of the car, with a rather strange design.
"Being a 787B, I just might.. But sadly the engine's wearing, and I don't have the rotary parts it needs to last a full lap."
| >AM begins to recall the Le Mans car, truly a legend of it's time. He snarky says
"What, not enough apex seals?"
| "Funny."
> Kazuki makes his way back and makes sure the car's shut off completely before reaching in to disconnect wires from under the car.
"No, other than the fact that.. Fine, yes, shitty apex seals.."
> He groans and yawns.
"You caught my laziness on that one."
| "Wow. I thought you would answer with gasket seal or cracked manifold..."
>AM facepalms.
"So anyway, I return with a single B.
>AM pulls out a Cardboard "B" out of his pocket.
"Oh, make that two."
| > Kazuki Chuckles as B looks in confusion.
"Hahah, nice one, thanks."
"W-Wha..?"
| >AM casualty throws the cardboard away, trying to recover.
"Good thing I never became a comedian. Anyway, I need to go pick up my bag, do you mind letting me in?"
| "Er, yeah, doors should be open.. Were they locked when you came th-"
"They weren't, we've just detoured."
> B speaks up however keeping her gaze on the biker doing laps on the track.
| >AM goes up stairs, and returns in a few minutes, now with duffel bag on back.
" It was nice chatting with you B. Kaz, get in touch when you need a favour or something good for sale."
| "Alright, same to you. I'll see you later."
> He nods, heading back to his original position when they've arrived. B nods with a soft 'you too' before returning her focus as well.
| >Am leaves the compound, to wander the city.

| > B finishes her icecream quickly.. Or rather, in the time AM and her make it back to the complex. The garage door hangs open wide, mostly unusual, but B's too into attempted conversation with AM.
"I wonder what's out there.. Besides ships, and stars. Out in space. Ever wonder about what we can't see? That's possibly all around us?"
> A new topic within the past few minutes.
