[It's been two weeks since Reim arrived, and he's sort of vaguely managed to settle in. Which means the opportunity has arisen to dive headfirst into Modern Technology that will confuse him greatly, of course. At least he knows which way to hold the NV, as he addresses it politely,]

Hello, [beat] city. I've recently arrived, and from a place very much unlike this one, so please excuse my ignorance of proper procedure when I ask-

How would one go about learning to drive a car? Could someone-- if it isn't too much, that is, lessons would be... appreciated. Although I'm afraid I don't have any experience whatsoever.

[Pause. He makes a face.]

Well. I've driven a tank, but...

[But we don't talk about Tank Day. Reim taps his fingers thoughtfully before adding, brightly,]

I am also interested in obtaining some work.

[He gives the NV a little smile, the perfect, practiced smile of a professional who knows when to be extra nice.]

Of course, any assistance will-- BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP [--be interrupted by the very sudden sound of an alarm going off on his NV (accidentally set without his knowledge, oops), which makes him shout and drop the thing--it lands on his toes, he yelps again, and it turns itself off when it hits the floor.

Flawless first impressions.]

Then why did you ask?

[Eyeroll.]

Never mind, I'll just meet you where the car is.

[jokesonthem]

I had meant a location for practicing, working under the assumption that the instructor- [A pointed look. That's you, kiddo.] -would want to bring the car to his own favored place. I hardly think the master of the house would appreciate any more vehicles roaming wildly about his property.

[inthejunk]

Yeah, sure. We can do that.

[Have another weird look, dude. There's a stick up your ass, in case no one's told you yet.]

So the suggestions I made before should still be fine, right?

[jokesonthem]

[This is going to be the most fun and least uptight driving lesson, buckle up.]

Certainly. You will have to meet me first, that's all.

[....] Ah. What's your name?

[inthejunk]

...Seta Souji. It's good to meet you.

[Clearly nothing can go wrong, here.]

[jokesonthem]

[What a strange name!!]

Likewise. My name is Reim Lunettes.

[Hm what else, oh yes-] Do you know how to get to the Phantomhive estate?

[inthejunk]

[Considering Yosuke used to live there, under the radar? Yeah, he might just know where it is.]

Sure, I think I can find that.

[jokesonthem]

[No one tells Reim these things, okay...!!]

Alright. I'll see you on Sunday, then.

[inthejunk]

[Don't worry, no one told Ciel either.]

See you then.
