[damn. foiled by his own fashion choices. if only he wore more shirts.]

i never should have let you seen me naked.

[is that a fucking pun]

definite no or no deal.

[and he will drive to wherever that address is. and not stop the car. just rev the (actually impressive) engine so that baren knows he's there.

anyone around baren will think he's an ass.

good.]

[correct on all accounts.

and he's baren, snorting as he wanders over. for the record, his outfit of the day is ludicrous and luxurious and comfy as fuck - and more importantly, needs to be highlight because this is the guy who's giving zoro fashion advice. however baren has an eccentric enough look that he can wear just about anything. not sure if the same could be said for his friend

he slides in the passenger's seat and doesn't buckle up]

Let's do the Towers. I can at least get you some discounts...

What the hell do your shorts say?

[yes, he has yet to move the car because he has been trying to parse the words. they're bright and eye-catching. he must know.]

Oveinin?

[God. Stupid. Whatever. he doesn't care anymore. he sets the car in drive and takes them down a route less traveled. aka a slightly more illegal one through tight alleys and away from traffic.]

You never told me how you found that video.

I borrow other people's phones, you know this.

[which means he gets access to a wide, wide, wiiiide scope of information. that also means access to gay twitter.]

You're a gay icon. Congrats. You versus the Babadook, who'd win in a fight? I should start taking bets.

What does the Babadook have to do with it?

[he shifts into gear and whisks around another corner.]

I'd win.

[just saying. oh look, those are the Towers coming up.]

Not sure how I feel being on someone else's phone.

[baren reaches up for something to hold onto just bc the only time he doesn't trust zoro's driving to be smooth is when it's time to fight for parking

anyway]

Memes.

[to answer the babadook question]

Welcome to my life. Maybe you'll be recognized along with me today.
