[We interrupt your canon bump with a virus]

[Jin has a chair tilted back as he looks over the Go-Busters' weapons, working on repairs.]

Man, that Escape was something else. You know, it figures--you meet a pretty avatar and she tries to kill you.

[That's when the virus hits. And before he has the chance to register that he's suddenly younger, he falls backwards and hits the floor.]

OW!

[A pause as he realizes what that means.]

...That should not hurt that bad. J!

We will find you some food. Perhaps some of Yoko's snacks later on to tide you over.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Good idea. But damn, what am I going to eat? It's been 13 years since I was last hungry.

[juicy_egotist]

Fried chicken. We will go and get you some.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, that sounds good.

[Oh, look who they're passing. Hiromu. Who is busy STARING at Lady J and Teen Jin.]

Hey, Hiromu. Got a body, albeit younger. Also, J has boobs. We're going out for fried chicken.

[And sure enough, that freezes up poor NPC Hiromu.]

[juicy_egotist]

We will get him some later.

[And J steals his wallet.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

He needs to get over that weak point somehow.

[He rubs his shoulder.]

Think I'll borrow one of Ryuji's ice packs on the way. That hurt.

[juicy_egotist]

Do that. I'll meet you at the driveway.

[boostup4beetbuster]

[There may be some screams of "SEMPAI?!" and "Jin, what the hell?" and "What happened to you? And why are you taking my chocolate?" down the hall. And Nakamura might have been confused when he winked at her. And Morishita even more so when he got the same thing.]

All right, ready to go!

[juicy_egotist]

Then we are off. [And J's grabbed a car for the trip.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[A pause.]

Can you even drive?

[juicy_egotist]

Yes, yes I can. I drove the Enetron truck before.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, but that involved enetron. Of course you were going to be careful with it.

[juicy_egotist]

I can follow speed limits just fine.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Didn't you run about five lights?

[juicy_egotist]

Trivial things. We didn't get pulled aside.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, and I'm not sure exactly why those cop cars were chasing us--for the traffic violations, for me standing on top of a cargo of stolen enetron, or for you not wearing a seatbelt.

[juicy_egotist]

Yes. By all accounts, it doesn't add up. [Metaphoric map pulled down.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Jin doesn't even blink. Just...]

Now I'm hungry for spinach puffs for some reason.

[juicy_egotist]

We will see about obtaining them.

[boostup4beetbuster]

[He flips through Hiromu's wallet]

Might as well stop off at the store on the way back. I'm gonna hijack Yoko-chan and make an ice cream sundae the size of GOD.

[juicy_egotist]

Roger. I will make sure to do that.
