Re: 9/7; misfire

[standalonehuman]

[Oh, hello, unknown number. All right, let's dance.]

The toll thing's a radio transponder, so it still wouldn't beep. Can you really go fast enough to dodge the license camera, though?

[embraves]

[Here lies Cloud peperony and chease]

probably could if you're going fast enough in a car, not a motorcycle.
like, what, 200 mph?
but you'd need a hell of a hot rod for that.

you'd probably also get pulled over.

[standalonehuman]

[Okay, let's emulate Mako's worst nightmare.]

Well. If you're going 200 mph, then the cops have to go 200 mph to pull you over!

[embraves]

[Soon Cloud will realize this went to the wrong person but right now is not that moment.]

what's recolle pd roll around in? crown vics? don't think they could keep up.

[standalonehuman]

[God, how long can he keep this up?]

They've got unmarkeds though. And it's always something you don't expect.

[Read: something they don't let Togusa drive.]

[embraves]

unmarked cats that can go up to 200 though?


**cars

[standalonehuman]

[Dying. Dying. It's a good thing he can hide behind his phone or he would have blown it by now. Souji has corrupted him too much, he's picturing it in his head. Mrrrrrrrr-eow]

Saw a Sunfire sprout blue lights out of nowhere one time. Might keep up.

[Doesn't feel bad mentioning a car that's out of the rotation now. All right, this conversation is going somewhere, but Togusa doesn't know the phone number. He opens up a word document on his computer to the side. 160 minus the people he's talked to before, and somebody not affiliated with the cops. So. Let's start narrowing down that list. Don't push, let him tell you who he is.]

Think you could make it that high?

[embraves]

[ONE DAY Cloud will be not so new to Retrospec to realize that all his texts might someday end up someplace else. Today is not that day.

Because, honestly, this seems like a relatively normal conversation all things considered.]

on my harley? i love it, but no. i'm not living in some fantasy land
if i hit 120 i'm lucky

[standalonehuman]

[Pay no attention to the notes being taken, doo de doo.]

Damn. But even 120's not fast enough to lose the cops and tolls? Or you just gotten lucky to not run across them?

[embraves]

i've never sped away from a cop.
knowing my luck that'd turn into one of those helicopter police chases you see on tv

[standalonehuman]

The RPD doesn't have a helicopter.

Now, if the chocobos could fly like they look like they should be able to?

[embraves]

if i get chased by flying cop chocobos then i'm pretty sure someone needs to pinch and wake me up

how do you know they don't have a helicopter?

[standalonehuman]

[Oops.]

Well, the Department doesn't have a pad for it, does it? I've never seen one in the city.

[embraves]

i don't know
i've never seen one
doesn't mean i assume that there ISN'T one

[standalonehuman]

[You know, why don't we have a helicopter?]

I would say they could borrow one from Fort McCoy, but I've never seen one there, either.

[embraves]

don't they have chocobos or something now

[standalonehuman]

The Department does, I dunno about the army guys. But add that to the list of 'things I'd like to see.'

[All right. Time to take a page from Ardyn's book.]

So. Do we keep the game going, or do you give up on trying to figure out where your text went, instead of where you tried to send it?

[embraves]

what?

[Wait a second. He's confused, and it's only when he double checks the number this has gone to does he realize that he's been having an entire conversation with a stranger.]

crap
you couldn't have told me earlier?

[standalonehuman]

If it's any consolation, I don't know who this is, either. I was trying to see if you'd slip up and I could figure it out, but you haven't yet.

[embraves]

you could've just asked

my name is cloud.

[standalonehuman]

Wait. Cloud Strife?

Aw crap. I wasn't supposed to mess with you.

[embraves]

yeah, cloud strife.
you weren't "supposed" to? according to...?

[standalonehuman]

According to me.
Officer Hitori Togusa. Hi.
I am already in hot water with Prompto and I don't need more reasons for him to get mad at me.

[embraves]

shit
you're a cop?

[WHY]

all that stuff i wrote was just hypothetical, all right?

[standalonehuman]

Of course it was, because we proved it wouldn't work.

I'm not on Highway anyway.

[But I know someone who is~]
