[center][h1][color=96EACE]Joseph[/color] and Brie[/h1][/center] [@Jumbus][@KiwiTime][@Scarifar][@datadogie] Brie stepped outside the bar, groaning inwardly at the bright sunlight. It was [i]far[/i] too early to be awake, especially in her state. Most people would see the dingy alley she had stepped into and fear for their safety, but Brie simply glared at the patrons who were stumbling into the bar for their first drink. She sipped on her coffee, contemplating how best to make her way over to New Athens. Normally she could gather a decent amount of speed while running, enough at least to get over there fairly quickly, but there was no way she was doing that today. Tapping in a number, she waited impatiently for the call to go through. "I need a lift." She pronounced suddenly, without even a 'hi' or 'how you doing?'. "Can you get to Brookside?" [color=96EACE]”Huuuuuuh?”[/color] Joseph grumbled into the phone. [color=96EACE]”The hell is that, telling me to come get you without so much as a ‘Hey Joseph my dear, badass pal, you up?’ How the hell am I meant to get my beauty sleep when everyone keeps trying to wake me up? It’s only…”[/color] He glanced up to look at the cheap, digital clock, which told him that it was in fact the early hour of nearly 12:30. [color=96EACE]”Motherfu-... Fine…”[/color] He sighed, getting off the cheap hammock he called a bed to try and find a shirt that didn’t bear the scent of whiskey. Unfortunately, all three did, so he decided to just settle with the one that stank the least, chucked on his jacket, some jeans and his helmet. [color=96EACE]”Hag! I’m heading out!”[/color] “Don’t come back until you can afford rent!” The old hag in question shouted back from somewhere in her workshop, and he promptly sped off on his moped to get the young hag who’d called him out. It only took a few minutes for him to reach the bar, sending Brie a lazy wave as he slowly drove up to the sidewalk. [color=96EACE]”Heeey.”[/color] He said, chucking her a spare helmet. [color=96EACE]”So I guess we got called out or something?”[/color] Brie managed to catch the helmet just before it hit her square in the face, eyebrows raised at the moped Joseph had arrived on. “[i]That’s[/i] your ride? Looks like a gentle breeze would topple it over.” She continued to eye it warily for a moment, before shrugging her shoulders and hopping onto the back. There were worse way to die, she supposed. “Mm yeah, something about Ambleweeds. Not sure why HERO insists on sending those alerts so early in the morning.” She continued, ignoring the fact that it was about noon at this point. “Powers is going to kill me if I don’t get more credits this month, so figured they’d be an easy job.” [color=96EACE]”I’m sorry, did you just say we’re out here because of a few [i]ambleweeds?[/i][/color] Joseph asked incredulously. [color=96EACE]”Why the hell did we get a big alert for that?”[/color] As he drove, he started looking at his phone to find the closest group. When he was what it was, he smiled to himself. Today might not be so annoying after all… Well, not for [i]him[/i], at least. [color=96EACE]“Hey, guess who just so happens to be not too far from us at this very moment?”[/color] He asked Brie, before shaking his head and shoving his phone back into his pocket. [color=96EACE]“Actually no, don’t. It’ll be funner as a surprise. But in the interest of keeping to my personal motto of ‘Always be prepared’, if you have any jokes about light, get them ready now.”[/color] He paused for a moment, before adding something that was probably more important. [color=96EACE]“Also hold on.”[/color] And then he pushed the moped to it’s top speed, which thanks to some tinkering from his horrifying landlady, was [i]far[/i] beyond what a vehicle of it’s type should normally be capable of. Hell, maybe more than a [i]motorcycle[/i] should be capable of. Brie frowned as she tried to figure out where he was taking them, “Aw come on...do we really have to…” She groaned as it dawned on her where he was going. It was her fault really...she should have known better. “Didn’t know you were such a fan of his.” Brianna said with a smirk, holding onto the back of the Moped to stop herself from flying off, “You know that you’ll probably have to line up behind all the other teenage girls, right?” [color=96EACE]“I mean, we don’t [i]have[/i] to do anything. We could just turn around and go back to the bar if you’re really that opposed to it.”[/color] He said, before his voice turned deadly serious. [color=96EACE]“But the thing is that I heard there’s a camera crew there, so everything we say goes out to the world. Considering that, I’d say it’s our duty to go there and send out the rallying cry for all the people who think they’re making fun of the idiot alone. We’re not just doing this for fun, we’re doing this for [i]a cause!”[/i][/color] He took a hand off the handlebars to place it over his chest as he said this, before quickly putting it down to stop the scooter from swerving around, giving a quick shrug. [color=96EACE]“Besides, I wanna get his autograph so I can forge his signature. Big celebrity like him gives me a lotta options, you know?”[/color] Finally, after about ten minutes, he caught sight of… Well, no ambleweeds, but they were fighting something that looked kind of familiar… [color=96EACE]“Hey everyone, I made it.”[/color] He called out to the group. [color=96EACE]“Please, please, hold your applause, I’m just here to do my job, which is apparently playing taxi for [i]this[/i] alcoholic here.”[/color] He jerked a thumb over his shoulder at Brie as he parked, before looking over at their opponent. [color=96EACE]“So, it’s you again...”[/color] He said, deciding not to clarify whether or not he actually knew who she was. [color=96EACE]“Listen, I know he’s a big celebrity so he’d probably be too worried about his PR to outright say no to you, but I don’t think he’s into robots, right… Joestar?”[/color] Ignoring the fact that he’d just casually said something he was [i]absolutely[/i] not meant to say, he looked back to Skylar once more. [color=96EACE]“Besides, are you sure you want someone like him? Have you not heard all the gross rumours about this weirdo?”[/color]
