[ Oh.

Well. Shit. ]

Huh.

[ He crosses his arms loosely over his chest and stares hard at the window as if by doing so long enough the answer will come to him. ]

[ She's thinking that maybe she can sneak back inside but it's a risk.

Then a brilliant idea pops in her head. ]

Can't you do something... Sin-Eater-y?

[ Glancing over at her then, because powers? For getting a--

--well, there's a thought. ] You know. You might be onto something there.

[ He's about to ask her where she usually leaves the keys, and then feels the gentle, quiet nudge of Coach's presence and the solidness of the Industrial Key tucked in the cradle of his palm.

When he lifts his hand, Josh can't help the smirk that creeps onto his lips. He has an idea, and it's a fun one. ]

Let me try something. [ Feeling his Boneyard expand outwards from where he stands, the key in his hand allowing him a better feel of the Lopez residence and the things within.

Oh. Hm. ] Bri? Those models that your dad got for Roy... how old are they?

[ She thinks about it for a while. They are old, like maybe 1980 old? Definitely vintage.

She notices that Josh is planning something. She's already curious what he's got up his sleeve. ]

Uhmm, about more than 80 years old, I think?

[ Good.

Smiling now as he does a quick scan of the area covering Roy's room and finding, finally, those old plane models.

Outwardly, what Brianna might see is the look of concentration on his face, even if Josh's gaze is far away, as if deep in thought. Back in that room, the plane model inches forward, starting and stopping as if gently being nudged off the shelf. ]

Where do you usually keep the keys, Bri? [ Josh asks softly, still distracted. He's been practicing things with Gabriel at the Regardi residence whenever they train. His Boneyard is getting better, but his Marionette and his Oracle need work. ]

[ And she's anxious to make this work. They're not using Josh's powers for bad per sé, but it's quite... exciting. ]

Uhm, there's this thing in our kitchen, right above one of the counters. All our keys hang from there!

[ She's trying to recall specifically where she hangs hers. ]

If I'm not mistaken, mine is the 2nd from the left.

[ She's saying all this in a hushed voice so as not to break Josh out of his focused state. ]

[ Come on, come on... the plane rolls forward and plummets from the shelf, but Josh thinks up you go and it swings upward just inches from clattering on the floor.

Outside, the look on his face is focused, tongue in cheek as he squints, relaxes, and squints again; focused thought guiding the plane shakily through the air, down the hallway and curving along the stairs before it veers too close to a wall. ]

Dammit, [ Josh hisses as he presses hands against the side of Brianna's home, head tilted to one side as if trying to get a better sense of where the plane had clattered.

( Thank goodness the one he'd picked was a solid model casted out of metal. )

Finding the shape of it slid under a coffee table, he focuses again and nudges it along the floor towards the kitchen, momentum allowing it to pick up speed and rise off the floor -- first an inch, and then two, three --

There we go.

Airborne again and less uncertain this time in it's flightpath, floating gracefully towards the key holder mounted on the wall and dipping just enough so that it turns, at his command, to snatch the keys by it's tailfin.

Come to Joshua, little guy.

Zooming now, through the air in their direction-- ] Bri, window, window, quick!

[ She quickly steps towards the window and anticipating the key - but sees an airplane?

...Roy's airplane?

She's smiling, amused and her eyes are wide with both amazement and accomplishment as she turns to Josh. ]

Oh. My. God. That was so cool!! [ Her voice is hushed, but excited. ]

[ Grinning triumphantly now, and surprising himself with the realization that he likes that he's impressed his blade mate--

--and because his mind wanders in the slightest, the plane dips a little, though he catches it quick enough with a refocus of concentration. ] I'll keep it floating, but I think you better get it.

[ He likes this ability. He really does. ]

[ She's looking at it for a good few more seconds before plucking the keys mid-air. ]

That is some seriously serial moves, Josh. Anyway, shall we?

[ Her car is conveniently parked just outside, meaning there is no need to move the other cars. She unlocks the car and thankfully she installed the feature that makes the lock noiseless. ]

Be with you in a bit, [ willing the plane back now: through the main area, up the stairs and maneuvering it back onto the shelf so that no one is the wiser.

And then, turning to follow Brianna and stalling a little at the sight of the car. ]

You... weren't... serious about me driving... right?

[ She looks down at her shoes, then back at Josh. ]

Well, I wouldn't really mind but these are... really... high... heels...

[ Awkward silence. ]

You know how to drive, right?

[ Uh, yeah... peering at those shoes now. Very pretty ( eyes up, Joshua ) -- also very deadly-looking. Hey, c'mon. Heels. Heels. ]

Actually... no? [ Boy Next Door ( Who Knows Zilch About Cars ) Smile™.

Rocking back on his heels and then casting a glance at his watch. It's fairly early. Maybe... ]

I could... try? [ Small wince. Second life, new experiences, right? ] Maybe you could... teach me?

[ How hard could it be? ]

[ Actually... ]

That would be great! So we can have fun tonight AND you learn something new!

[ Uh... okay. Let's see how this goes.

Walking over and getting the door to the passenger side for her, before rounding to the driver's seat and sliding in.

Um. ]

[ Watching Josh now, kinda just to see if he knows where to begin.

.... Okay then. ]

Uhm... So first you have to start the car.

[ Oh, Josh. This is making her laugh in her mind. Of course, she won't tease him anymore. ]

[ Wordlessly asking for the keys by holding a hand out, and then slowly... turning -- no wait. ]

So I just turn this and it starts? Or do I need to... do anything else?

[ She doesn't know if Josh is kidding or... ]

Put on your seatbelt, check the mirrors if they're right for your height, adjust the seat to make sure you reach the pedals... [ She enumerates all the preliminary steps for safety, while pointing to the corresponding parts of the car.

She's actually having fun, teaching Josh. It's kinda cute. ]

[ He is so not kidding.

Okay, now. Following everything Brianna is telling him. Seat, check. Mirrors, check ( So what do I need to--oh, okay ). Seatbelt, check. Everything else, check. ]

Alright, I think that's everything. [ Wew. Turning the key now, and feeling the car rev to life. ]

[ She is oddly not worried at all. She really thinks that Josh has got this.

Plus, it's an automatic so it shouldn't be so bad. ...Right?

Smiling at Josh as she's giving further instructions. ]

Yep! You've got that part down pat.

[ She then proceeds to point at the pedals by Josh's feet, specifying accordingly which one is gas and which one is the break. ]

[ Nodding as he takes the instructions in, asling questions where he can interject just to clarify. Hands on the wheel, check rearview, foot stepping on the gas--

--and the car lurching forward that a moment of panic sets in and he hits the brakes. ]

Shit. Sorry, sorry.

[ She is just amused. Clutching her purse tightly, but she's laughing. ]

It's okay! It.. happens. Also I'm thinking maybe you shouldn't step on the gas like you want to uhm... kill a bug?

[ She sends a reassuring look to Josh, just to make sure he isn't embarrassed or anything. ]

[ It's not so much embarrassment as it is nerves. He's never driven a car before. Sure, his Dad was a mechanic, but they'd never had enough to indulge in an actual car of their own. Trips to school were school buses and then actual buses. And a lot of walking. ]

So uh, how...? [ Gesturing lamely towards the pedals. ] Sorry, I didn't expect it to feel so light. So step on it just a little, huh?

[ How does one describe the amount of pressure... Hmm. ]

Actually, [ She places a hand on Josh's arm, pressing down lightly and keeping it steady. ] kind of like that when you're just starting out. Then if the road is clear or if you need to speed up, you kind of apply more pressure gradually! [ Demonstrating it still with her hand on Josh's arm. ]

[ When Brianna demonstrates the amount of pressure against his arm, he isn't quite sure why he's glad that it's pretty dim.

At least until he feels his ears feel a little bit warm. ]

O-oh. Gotcha. [ Setting up and trying that again. Starting slow now, fingers adjusting their grip on the wheel because okay, Josh, breeeeathe.

Please work, please work... okay. Okay, better? ]
