*Floors it and takes a sharp turn*

@Host

Or we can go in that direction.

I didn't think it needed to be very complicated. Where to?

@Host

Make a left after three blocks. Then it's about 15 blocks. I don't know if there are any crazy roadblocks, but there should hopefully be detours.

I was irritated with it and... just kind of told it to stop, I guess.

@Host

Go you. I figured I'd get it to stop if it made sense. I was considering having those bells play a song so the whole car would stop playing with the song, but what you did was way more efficient.

I'll drive.
*Takes the steering wheel and the car becomes silent and the lights dim*

@Host

*Dismisses the extra bells and whistles* How'd you get it to calm down?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It's fine. Good enough at least.
*Opens the door*

@Host

*It opens with minimal fanfare, even though the windows are rolling up and down and the side mirror is constantly adjusting itself* You want to drive, or me?

Give it another go.

@Host

*Moves to the next car, hesitates, and pulls out an accordion, playing a quick lilting strain before dismissing the instrument* Try number two. *Every bell and whistle on the car begins to work on and off, including the bells and whistles, but the engine itself turns on normally and the car idles* Uh... do not know whether to consider this a success.

I don't know what I was expecting.

@Host

I never know what I'm expecting. Maybe if I try a different instrument. Unless you want to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I'll take it. Easier than walking, at least.

@Host

*Stops, pulls out a flute, and puffs a note at an old car* Try number 1. *The car lights up* Haha! *Grabs the handle and the door slams open, knocking me over; the car turns in place, huffs at me, and drives away*

You didn't think to bring a car or something?

@Host

That would have made sense. I can probably make one of these old cars work.

In English, please?

@Host

Possibly close, probably far. There are ways to go faster.
