Location: Residential District
(OOC: A nice little thread for DJ to have Yu participate in.)
February 12th
Atomic Batteries to power! Turbines to speed!
Somewhere in one of the public parks of Innerpeace, this guy is just sitting around on a park bench that's facing a water fountain. The nights of vigilante work have been . . . interesting to say the least. Who knows how long it will take before "Proto Man" attracts the attention of the bigger fish.
Such fish would be known better as the Mega Men who were involved with the incident with Slither Inc. or even the ones who were involved with the incident involving Master Albert and the flying fortress known as Ouroboros.
It's also at least two days before what's known as "Love and Friendship Day" in his country. Maybe he should get something nice for Sharpei and Aven.
Today was one of the few warmer days of February. Possibly to help signify Spring was coming soon. As of such, he decided not to wear his black overcoat or sunglasses. Instead he decided to wear his goggles for his eyewear for today as they rested on the top of his head, his yellow scarf, red long sleeved shirt, grey long sleeved pants, and red metalic shoes.
He was reading a book today. The book was actually based off one of the many popular kid superheroes out nowadays, but this novel was written for "more mature" or "older" audiences. Still, that didn't stop the book from having an image of the said popular hero on the front cover of the book.
Most likely the characters in this book are all giant allusions to Mega Man characters or Batman or something. Eitherway there's definitely a Proto Man reference in the book, just that the RPer currently can't think of any creative names or titles for the book.
He kept his dark red bag next to him as he read his book. Model Pm was inside one of his pants pockets. Also next to him though, which is something not very many people have, is a red jet/rocket board of some type. It has the same unique design on it related to Proto Man's shield that you would also continue to see on other objects Proto has owned over the years, such as Proto Coil, Proto Jet, or even the Red Striker.
Granted, the one people are most likely to associate with the jet/rocket board's design would be the Red Striker, considering how both the Red Striker and Rush Roadster reappeared in this era as popular kid racing cars.
Why didn't he collapse the board and keep it in his bag like he usually does? Well he didn't care too much about it right now, and he honestly didn't mind carrying it around on his back.
He contemplated paying another visit to the house of his first "Friends" he made here, but he was sure they probably were busy today. It was a week day after all, not to mention the middle of the afternoon.
(OOC: This is also the longest post I've currently made for this RP, yay!)

Yu had been out and about today, wanting to get away from the house mainly because being by himself was no longer any fun. He missed his little brother like crazy and since his parents split up, there was little chance for him to see Lu. Anyways, here he is driving his new and improved go kart, the red striker!
Cruising along the parkside, he drove through the paths that lay before him. The February wind blasting past him he was enjoying his ride. He came across the fountain, where Kai was near. Deciding to take a break, he pulled over to it and hopped out.
Heaving a bored sigh, he plopped himself onto the side of the fountain. Looking around his mind wandered what he could do next? He wanted to race, he wanted to drive. But his kart could only go so fast and it wasn't fast enough. "Man one of these days, I'm gonna be faster." He said as he flopped over, laying on the side of the fountain. He could hear the water trickling down from the top of the statue in the center. It was a soothing sound for him and this was nice.
His eye caught Kai though, and sat back up. "Hey!" he greeted.

Kai looked up from his book when he heard the sound of a go-cart nearby. When he looked around to find the source of the sound, he just stared at the design of the Red Striker as Yu just parked in front of the fountain. Kai just slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out Pm enough so that he could see the cart as well.
After all, the car's design looked a lot like it was based off the same design he used for his jetboard. . . which was based off of the design of Pm's shield when megamerged. How did this kid have that design?
. . . Let us pray the manufacturer of that go-cart isn't in league with the last group of people who stole Pm.
The kid seemed innocent enough though. He couldn't be directly related to those bad people. Still the question remains about how he got that cart design.
"Looks like it's a replica of my old race car," the biometal explained to Kai. Yu however, not being a chosen one, shouldn't be able to hear Pm's voice.
"Yo," Kai greeted back. His red eyes just glanced back at the child who was. . . more than likely less than half his age. He placed a bookmark inside his book before he closed it and set it next to him. "What's up?"

Yu would have been ecstatic if he had a biometal, especially one that would make him move fast, like a race car! But sadly, the boy isn't destined to have one. He smiled at this new person though. Yu's a social kind of kid, anyone willing enough to talk to him was good for him! "Nothing much. I was just cruising around and figured to relax a little bit and walk about--or sit here." He snickered enthusiastically. Kai looked like he was willing enough to talk! Awesome!
"So what are you up to?" He figured to keep talking! This was great!

Cruising. In a Go-Cart. That's a good one. He kept a small grin on his face at the talkative boy. "Oh, nothing much. Just sitting here. Relaxing. Reading a book."
"So, what's your name, kid?" he asked.
Start out easy, then ask about the go-cart.

"Ah! I don't read that much. I'm always outside doing something. Haha!" He laughed. It's true though. He did like to be outside a lot. Always running about, trying to get stronger, be faster. Yu was always the underdog in his classes, but someday, he's going to be number one! And that's the truth.
"I'm Yu. I'm from the other side of the city. I just like to wander around after school and such." He rubbed his nose. Although his school did let out a while ago, being a half day and all. He just wanted to stay away from home and cruise the city! His parent didn't care about where he went, as long as he was safe and returned home before 7 pm.
"What's your name sir?" He asked as he cocked his head a little to the side. He will question that board Kai has once they get the introductions overwith!

"Same here," Kai responded to him. "So this makes it one of the rare moments I am able to sit down and read."
He blinked at Yu's comment about hanging around after school. "But. . . it's like 12 P.M. or something isn't it?"
Kai kept a grin on his face as the kid asked for his name. "My name is Kai."

"Yeah! It's a half day. We get out at 10. I go to school really early in the morning actually. It stinks. I hate being up in the morning, but being out early is even cooler. So I think it's worth it!" He laughed. He wasn't sure if Kai was used to the school system, Yu went to. It was a private school, a little one in the middle of the city. Not many people go to it, but the education is just as good, if not better, than a normal public school.
"Nice to meet you Kai." He snickered back. "I like the board you have there. What does it do?" He figured to ask that first!

Huh. So that was what was going on with the boy's school right now. It makes sense.
He had to at least agree with Yu about the pros and cons of getting up and getting out early.
"Nice to meet you too Yu," he greeted back, despite the boy's snickering.
He looked over to his jetboard and pointed to it. "This board? Well thanks. It's actually a jet rocket board. This one in particular I had custom made."
Which was true. He did get just a tad bit more durable plating on his board compared to most other boards you would see like it. That and the design was custom too. Pm was to blame for that.

"Woah that's awesome though! Does it go fast?!" He asked as he looked back to the board. "It looks like it would go fast. The metal looks like it's light enough to be able to sustain the speed!" Yu looked back to Kai as he waited for a response. Man, did he enjoy the idea of speed.
"One day, I'm going to save up my money and I'm going to get a fast car! Then I'm gonna try and make it even faster than ever! Maybe apply jets or something to it! Then I could soar through the air, almost like a bird or something!" Or F-Zero X style *shot* He placed his hands firmly on his hips. He wore a big smirk on his little face. Nope, nothing was going to crush his dreams! Not even mean old reploids that think they are tough stuff because they have the label 'Maverick.' He'll show them what he has! A good ol' one two punch!

"Yeah it goes pretty fast," Kai answered. "Little bit hard for most people to use though."
Pm would smirk if he could. "What's wrong with the car he has now? That car is a replica of my own racing car by the looks of it. Maybe even a knock off copy."
Not that Yu could hear that coming from Pm.
"Awe come on, what's wrong with the car you have now?" he asked Yu.

"I bet! You probably have to have a lot of balance or something to be able to retain speed and continue to stand on there. WIthout it. You'd fall off and kiss the dirt! Haha! And road-rashes are really not all that fun to deal with." He rubbed his nose. Yu knew how painful those could be. He had fallen off his bike several times in the past, tripped up on his roller skates and kissed the concrete ground, and not to mention the one time he was skateboarding and fell off of it.
He looked at Kai when he asked what was wrong. "Weelll…. It doesn't go that fast. Although I was able to make it go faster than a couple of years ago--with the help of my dad. But the fastest speed it goes is 20. He said he won't let me boost up the speed until I can get my drivers license. Which is lame, because people can go dirt biking and those things go way faster than 30 miles per hour!" He huffed. How unfair! He felt like he was one of those "uncool" kids in school. Especially when he would walk by the "Cool" kids and listen to them boast about how they could go dirt biking or go on their quads or whatever they called them.
"Maybe when I can. Maybe I will just upgrade it. Or something." He shook his head.

"Hmm. . . Yeah I guess you could say balance is required," Kai responded. "Kissing the dirt though is never fun. It's especially not fun when you have blood in your mouth."
Something he got to experience a few times himself.
"Well I guess it would make sense. You're technically using a weapon whenever you get behind the wheel of a real car," Kai admitted.
Pm may have been somewhat irritated, and possibly a little insulted at the thought of his old car going no faster than 20 MPH. Hell, his car went MUCH faster than Mega's! . . . even if others had difficulty controlling it.
". . . Kai, you're getting one of these. The actual size of a car though, not this mini version. You're going to get one and use it. I will not take no for an answer."
Uncomfortable sweatdrop here. Took him quite a bit of willpower to not respond to Pm in front of Yu.
". . . Wouldn't it be neat if there was an actual car just like this though?" he asked out loud. Sure, that would definitely spark the kid's imagination.

"Yeaah I don't think kissing the dirt is a good thing to do. It definitely doesn't taste good." Yu laughed. It was true though, he had a number of times where he slipped and fell. Kissing the ground wasn't normally something on his To-do list, but it had happened several times.
"I am?" He never once thought of a car as a weapon. "You mean if I drive one of those cool movie cars where they have like. . . rockets located in the back seats, jet boosters on the bottom so they can fly, and stuff like that? I can see that being considered as a weapon." He didn't think that he could accidentally use any type of car and pretty much kill people as he's passing right on by. Nope. Not at all.
He quickly nodded. "Yeah! I think that would be soooo cool! I would love to have a car, a real car like that! I wanna be like the real driver and cruise around town and in race tracks! It would be so cool if I could do that." He nodded. "I kinda wish I met the original driver, I would be so excited!" His biggest hero of all time.

"Well-" Kai stretched and looked back at Yu. "Ya know how some people can sorta get killed from just getting beaten up or falling some great height or getting smashed? A car is kinda the same way. You can smash it against someone and either boom they are dead or they are just seriously injured."
Kai chuckled. The original driver huh? Kai smirked at that. He looked to the left, and then to the right, before he leaned in. "Ya wanna know a secret? Truth is, that race car's original driver? He's still living with us."
He gave a grin at that. Let the kid live in the fantasy of knowing that. . . even though it's true.
