[ No, they can't run over Bob-chan-san??? Maybe because he senses the danger, Minato wakes up before they crash into the barn or something and sits up, draping his arms over the passenger side seat. ]

You're really getting the hang of this.

[whitewalls]

It's a lot easier to drive when you're not being shot at or have to jump over a pit.

[ haha what ]

[compendiem]

[ "haha what" is right

though-- ]

Can you make the car jump over a pit?

[ prove it ]

[whitewalls]

Oh, we did. We were being chased.

[ it was

something ]

[compendiem]

Turn the car around. We're going through the gateway.

[whitewalls]

[ bad

but she'll do it. it's a very sharp turn because she doesn't know what adjusting speed means ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato gets thrown over to the side of the car because he's not wearing his seat belt but that's fine too, it gets him to stand up and climb over to the front so he can sit in the passenger seat and continue to ignore his seat belt. There's an airbag up here, so he'll be fine. ]

[whitewalls]

[ i really hate that naminé isn't well versed in car safety so she won't tell him to put on the seat belt. terrible. ]

Where are we going once we go through the gateway?

[compendiem]

[ Is Naminé at least wearing her seat belt?? please????? ]

Over where the motorbikes are. There's a path that leads out... I'll tell you how to get to the hill from there.

[whitewalls]

[ it's fine

but once they're through the gate she'll head straight for there ]

[compendiem]

[ hm,

Minato waits for her to get there, and then instructs her to turn around. Like, 180 degrees around. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she could turn around slowly

she doesn't, it's another very sharp turn ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato slams into the passenger side door but it's okay because it's an expensive car and therefore nice and sturdy. ]

Okay... I think we went down this path. Couldn't really see well in front of me, but we went straight for a bit.

[whitewalls]

Got it. Hang on tight, okay?

[ and then she slams on the gas pedal

it's fine ]

[compendiem]

[ He gets knocked back in his seat and belatedly hangs onto the door handle for dear life, leaving his other hand free to point out the direction towards that hill. It's a straight path, for the most part, not many twists and turns. ]

Keep accelerating as much as you can. We'll need to build up the momentum.

[whitewalls]

Don't worry! I won't confuse the brake this time.

[ this time

but with his blessing, she's just going to go faster. ]

[compendiem]

[ This time.......

There's the hill up ahead! Minato points helpfully towards it. What's on the other side? pavement, nothing to save them. ]

[whitewalls]

[ this is a bad idea

but they're driving

and driving

and they're reaching the hill, the car zooms forward, going up it in a very quick speed. this is a bad idea, because they're now going over the edge and are in the air. ]

[compendiem]

[ This is where Minato would put his hands in the air again like he did when riding with Hisoka, but there's not enough room. Hisoka was able to stick the landing, so he has full confidence that Naminé will be able to do the same.

Oh- but while they're still airborn, Minato pulls something out of his bag. ]

Right, I forgot. Kaoru made us these leg pads.

[ Good a time as any to utilize them. ]

[whitewalls]

Can you put mine on for me?

[ she would do it herself but even she knows that it would uh

probably be a bad time for her to let go of the wheel right now? ]

But do your own first.

[compendiem]

[ She can hold the wheel steady with one hand? But Minato slips his on and then. Hm. ]

Can you stick your leg out for me?

[ It's like sliding on puffy socks but how are they going to do this? ]

[whitewalls]

[ hm.

she tries to stick a leg out but it's an. awkward angle.

... ]

Never mind. I'll just go without them.

[compendiem]

[ ...Minato sets them in her lap. ]

There.

[ Now her stomach is safe. ]

[whitewalls]

Thanks.

[ he gets a smile, and then she turns her head back to what's ahead of them

and they land. it's-- they don't crash horrendously, at least? partly because she's done this before so she at least has a general sense on how to make sure they don't explode immediately.

that said, it's rough, and minato is probably going to slam into something because of the lack of seat belt, and they spin out pretty seriously after they land until the car comes to a very abrupt stop. ]

[compendiem]

[ Miraculously, they're not dead!! Minato's legs also escape Tuesday unbroken, but the rest of him... There is no seat belt to hold him back when the car stops, so he's thrown forward— with no collision, the airbag doesn't deploy either, so he just sort of crashes into the windshield. It's like the tractor but at least there's something here to keep them inside this time instead of flying headfirst out of the vehicle. ]
