un: Jay.T | Video

[Today’s video feed is of a fit man in his early twenties and wearing his usual brown leather jacket over a red hoodie. He’s standing in front of a large auto repair shop. The shop’s front sign is also visible and says Grease Lightning! Next to the shop’s name is a black and white totally cool mascot.

For those who are especially observant, you may also notice a red-wing blackbird hanging around and making a nest near the shop’s sign]

Hey, so I don’t know how many of you need to know this but I run the auto shop now.

[Jason then walks and moves the camera to show the shop’s interior. It’s spacious and there’s a variety of equipment and basic spare parts needed to fix vehicles. Tucked in one corner of the shop is a books shelf already filled to capacity, a desk, and a chair.

The camera then switches back to Jason]

Not much else is gonna change. Feel free to drop by if you need repairs or wanna mod something. The place is big enough that you can do it yourself or if you want me to help, just let me know.

[The red-wing blackbird then suddenly zooms above Jason and lands near his bookshelf. Jason looks back at his pet mildly annoyed before turning back to the camera]

And don’t mind Steinbeak if you drop by. He likes his spaces.

Action Prompt:

[If you do decide to visit Grease Lightning, you can indeed find Jason and Steinbeak around. Jason’s either doing maintenance work on his motorcycle or he’s reading one of his books in the corner of the shop.

Meanwhile his pet bird Steinbeak is either just outside of the shop or has settled himself indoors and looking at any visitors]

No, I live in Tokyo.

[That's the easiest way to describe it. Everyone has an idea of Tokyo, but few people have heard of Kaibara.]

My grandfather's orchard is in Nagano prefecture. You know, where the Olympics were? That homestead is where we all meet up for the holidays.

[Jason nods. He understands everyone coming back to the family home for special occasions at least. It's what his family does at times]

An orchard sounds nice. What kind?

[welcome_summer]

Plums! They're used for wine, more than for eating raw. But my grandmother always saves some to make preserves.

[She chuckles to herself.]

When the kids from the two closest families came over, she'd stuff mochi with the jam and--oh, the squabbles we all had over them! Heated enough, we'd dash right out to start on snowballs.

[Funnily enough, it goes a way to explain how jumpy Mayuko is setting up a shot. If her most formative experience with ranged combat was pelting her peers while trying to dodge in return, no wonder her instinct is to run and gun.]

[leastdramatic]

[Jason snorts, though not to mock her]

Listen, good treats are always worth a fight. You should see me and my siblings when it comes to the homemade cookies.

[welcome_summer]

Is that so? Who is the biggest cookie fiend out of the bunch, then?

[As they talk, Genji has flipped up the lid of his compartment and hopped onto the table, looking around. Knowing these two, they could gab all day. He can amuse himself.]

[leastdramatic]

Personally, I'd say I have a decent record but at last count, it's been a near tie with everyone. It depends on how often someone's back home at the manor too.

[Meanwhile, Steinbeak takes a break from snacking and stares at Genji]
