Two Dudes Chilling on the Segways || Vinzent + Melvin || Segway Car

Vinzent Mayer

…

What.

What is going on. The first thing Vinzent noticed upon getting in the new car, was the clothes change and he… Oh god. He fucking hates cops and being dressed like one is… Distasteful.

But apparently he wasn’t allowed to complain because the other side is robber. Wait what. And he had to stop them. What.

What???
What the hell! A segway to hop on…

… He glanced over at everyone and… Uh.

Oh no.

Oh noooooo. Why is it just Melvin in the team that he’s fine with? And even then, Vinzent was sure that these stupid roles assignements were not fun for the rest of them.

He did. Not want to be assigned as a mall cop. This is so fucking, FUCKING STUPID. First of all, why having a position of authority that actually sucks?? Actually, almost all authority positions suck! He hated the idea of obeying, let alone trying to enforce it, especially when on the human side, it doesn’t necessarily help. Common sense and decency is the way to go, not bowing down to law. Anyway he unbuttoned his shirt a bit, one button away, he hates how stuffy it get with the uniform.

Unsure when to touch the segway, he opted to wait and check for Melvin to talk to him. Everyone else… That’s to be seen. But Vinzent is wary of that assigned team, honestly. And unwilling to run to talk to Abel like that right away in that stupid as fuck assignement. Unless he really had to. Vinzent does want to apologize as soon as possible, but he really can’t find the right moment, huh.

Anyway, as soon as Melvin was within his sight range, Vinzent waved at him.

“What a fucking time, huh. This was not what I envisioned at all.”

Less so about wanting to commit crimes or whatever stupid roleplay they got assigned as instead, and more so because he wanted to talk to more people in the way he wanted. But not like this!!!

Melvin Greene

This sucks.

Everything sucked, sucks, and will continue to suck. No surprises there. You know? Sometimes, back home, Melvin would sit there and wonder why nobody else really worked the late shifts. It was a stable gig for him, but Wowitt was the only other person who seemed to keep such a regularly nocturnal schedule. It was steady work, but kind of a pain between just the two of them. Could it really hurt that much to have a couple more people for whatever banal task was at hand?

He, too, glances at the assignments and pretty quickly realizes it’s a damn good thing he’s used to having exactly one person to cooperate with. If there were four people like them running the place, poor Johnny would have been out a lot of investments long ago. All that considered.. you know what, there’s no rush actually. Maybe just hanging back with Vinzent for now was the call. Yup. That sounds preferable. Let Jack and Viper and Asuka and Matsu go do… he doesn’t know. Go beat each other up for fun like a bunch of hooligans, probably.

Vinzent Mayer “What a fucking time, huh. This was not what I envisioned at all.”

“Ugh, no kidding. Never thought I’d miss that goddamn red shirt but here we are.”

Learn something new every day. It could get worse than pizzamanning. It’d have been less demeaning if they stuck him at a food court register, if only barely. It goes without saying that he’s not thrilled about the new station either. It somehow feels like that does not need to be said to Vinzent who probably Gets It.

“I mean, they’re gonna dangle a whole car in front of us and then give us these?” cue vaguely affronted gesture to the Plartmobiles. As exhausting as the monotony of his job could get, being away from it did make him realize one thing: god he misses his garbage car so much. Probably hauled off to god knows where by now.

Vinzent Mayer

Hanging out for now was absolutely ideal. Keep the energy from the previous car for now. As silly as it was…

Still preferable than being thrown in nonsense that the rest will whip up.

Melvin Greene “Ugh, no kidding. Never thought I’d miss that goddamn red shirt but here we are.”

“I can imagine… I think we could get new clothes here, but still to be stuck in these dumb uniforms and apparently play a stupid game that we’ve been forced upon…”

Melvin Greene “I mean, they’re gonna dangle a whole car in front of us and then give us these?” cue vaguely affronted gesture to the Plartmobiles.

“Yeah, I don’t even know… Honestly, I would’ve taken anything else over these. Something cooler than these segways. Or even, I can run. I wonder how long we can not hop on these until we have to.”

Ideally forever, but eventually Vinzent would have to be resigned to use one of these to get around. He doesn’t even know how these things work. It looked a little ridiculous in concept, but if it helped some people, great! Still, not for Vinzent, who would prefer to use his actual legs to get around. Or hell. A skateboard. Now that’s cooler!

(He doesn’t know how to skateboard, but it is better than segway-ing.)

He doesn’t mind spending a little time with Melvin complaining about the nonsense of the task they’ve been given. As long as they can. Until they’ll have to do what was asked to them.

But not now. ❤️

Melvin Greene

They have no idea what’s about to unfold in Plart’s Mall. Let them live in blissful ignorance a little longer.

Vinzent Mayer “I can imagine… I think we could get new clothes here, but still to be stuck in these dumb uniforms and apparently play a stupid game that we’ve been forced upon…”

“Huh, maybe.” The thought clearly hadn’t occurred to him. Quite possibly he’d forget the suggestion by the time they moved on from their little complaint session. “Sure beats almost drowning again. A dumb little game like this’ll be easy.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hahaha. Haaaa. He doesn’t know, chat.

The assignments are, as they agree… Weird. Unsurprising that the train would do something like this just to screw with them. But Weird. He actually unslouches for a moment just to punctuate a joke.

“And they all said I wasn’t ever gonna make anything of myself. Bet they feel real stupid now.” Now that what, you’re a missing persons case as far as the exterior of the train is concerned? Really showed them. Vinzent is the single other person who has any context for why he might be saying that. It’s weird, but knowing that he knows and the fact that they were actually very well able to chill the hell out after the trial? Makes it a little easier to joke about.

Vinzent Mayer “Yeah, I don’t even know… Honestly, I would’ve taken anything else over these. Something cooler than these segways. Or even, I can run. I wonder how long we can not hop on these until we have to.”

“I mean, I wanna get the hell out of here sooner than later, but, well.” The sidelong glance he’s giving the segways suggests he’s not in that much of a hurry. "Don’t think we’re hurting for time right now.

He checks to make sure nobody’s listening and gestures Vinzent in hushedly, which is mostly just a lot of leaning down on his part. It is not very subtle.

“… how much trouble you think we’d get in if we try to dunk Plart before we leave for the next car?”

Not before the tasks at hand were complete. Absolutely not. That would run very counter to the goal of Leave Faster because this place kind of weirds him out. It’d be a parting shot if anything but imagine the funny.

Melvin Greene

Everything is Fine And Normal And Hinged.

“Man, I hope so.”

For Vinzent… Well, he certainly has ideas but it’s a matter of if it’ll work. If whoever he’ll talk to will agree with it. For now he can stretch it as much as possible. YOLO.

It did take a bit for Vinzent to put together the meaning of Melvin’s joke but he did chuckle a little.

“Yeah…”

He nodded at the wanting to get out sooner than later.

“I agree, I’d like that done as quickly as possible but we’ll see how this’ll work out.”

Vinzent leaned forward to listen to what Melvin was going to say… Before a smirk was on his face. Now that is a funny thought. Even more so that he genuinely hates the whole authority thing. Get a little rebellion in here!!!

“Heheh… I’ll be down for that once we get our dumb tasks done with.”

Melvin You’ve Found Mischievous Vinzent now.

Now Vinzent could only hope this doesn’t bite him in the ass hard later on.

Melvin Greene

Flarum don’t mark this as being from forever ago I know it’s been two weeks. I have been so very very dead. Puts on the ’I’m Sorry Dangan Infinity’ hat as penance.

Vinzent Mayer “I agree, I’d like that done as quickly as possible but we’ll see how this’ll work out.”

“You’ve met these people. My bet’s on us getting stuck here so long they feel bad enough to just let us go.”

Melvin is fully aware that’s not really how things work around here. Even if some of the miscellaneous tasks they kept getting saddled with made him feel like even more pathetic than usual, there still wasn’t any real way around it. Which is really unfortunate. Normally, finding ways to skirt around doing work is one of his favourite hobbies.

Most people could probably keep themselves out of forever jail, though. Right? Right??

Right???

But enough about that. Realistically, he’ll probably forget he said anything about taking a Plarting shot by the time they actually get to leave. It’s a nice thought for the time being, at least. A little funny haha to ease the looming horrors.

Despite his lack of enthusiasm for the task at hand, just standing here is making him kind of fidgety. At least the whole ‘food court’ thing is far more appealing than getting straight to work.

“Don’t wanna stand around here too long and get yelled at. You wanna go… ‘scope things out’ or something? Like, uh. Get a feel for the place or whatever.”

If you go slowly enough you can claim you’re being thorough without having to do as much work, or something. Vinzent’s the smart one here; he’ll come up with a better excuse for them.

Vinzent Mayer

BUT ON THE FLIPSIDE… MELVIN MOMENTS!!!

Melvin Greene “You’ve met these people. My bet’s on us getting stuck here so long they feel bad enough to just let us go.”

At this, Vinzent sighed. Did he expect anything better? Not really, so Melvin was right. But even so, waiting out was his least favorite thing still. We will see what happen! They had to do The Task Unfortunately Eventually.

Melvin Greene Most people could probably keep themselves out of forever jail, though. Right? Right??

Right???

We could only dream…

Melvin Greene A little funny haha to ease the looming horrors.

That, Vinzent does agree, even if he’d likely forget about it as well, the instant they discussed of this possiblity was very good. Anything to just. Not Think about this Nonsense Right Now.

Vinzent admitelly took a bit to understand but… Hey. Food? He isn’t one to say no. You know, they could just do that. Eyeing around, something did catch his eye.

“Oh, yeah of course. I think I spotted a Bim Tortons there. I think there’s Bimmies and coffee? I’m sure there’s more options but, yeah. Let’s do a round just to check.”

yes i came up with a knockoff name because we are funni canadians here (even though our ocs In This Thread are Not, do it for dexter-)

With a half resigned sigh, Vinzent finally heads toward the segway parking and takes one to get a feel. He is sure he has never operated one before, because what the fuck are these. Skateboards are still cooler than this- But better get used to this and head toward Bim Tortons. There are decent food options there, he thinks.

Yes Plart we are Finally Working! (Buying time actually to not work <3)
