[ Saphir can't see the goofy grin that spreads over Giovanni's face when his phone lights up with the message, but trust me, it's there. ]
Oh my god, a game getaway with my best bro?? I am THERE!!! We've just been doing BOOORING foundation work over here, they won't mind if I take a week off!! Probably!! And if they do mind I DON'T CARE!!!!
(Because I'm evil!!!)
Just drop me the deets and I'll see you there!! This is gonna be AWESOME!!!
teleported me back with them from my office at the university here before??
Is that how you'd be getting here? I'm not sure if that's a standard Foundation travel thing these days or what.
Anyway, I'll send my address, but let me know if you need some kind of travel assistance or anything! And since it's summer break I don't have much on my schedule right now that can't be moved around, so any day should be fine, really.
Teleporting?? Man, they really rolled out the red carpet for you, huh?? No one ever teleports me!!! I mean, not that I need it, because teleportation is merely one among my many fearsome powers. But I can't do it halfway across this country!!! It's BIG!!!
So I guess we're doing this old school. But not to worry, my friend!! Giovanni Potage is a MASTER of ways to keep entertained on planes!!!
[ He is going to bring so many coloring books. ]
Hey, if you wanted to meet me at the airport, though, that'd be cool. Not because I'm worried about getting lost and stranded in the wilds of Minnesota!!! I just figured you'd want to see my handsome face as soon as physically possible. That's all!!!
I mean, they were basically kidnapping me, so I don't know about "red carpet."
But yes, I will absolutely meet you there!! We can stop for food somewhere on the way to the house, then.
If you want to pick out a flight I can send the money for a ticket, unless you think you can get them to reimburse it as a business expense or something.
Oh, if you can't get a nonstop flight, try to get one that changes planes at Chicago O'Hare! There's a tunnel there between two of the concourses with a really neat display if you haven't seen it before.
[ please help him regain his positive memories of this thing!!! ]
DON'T GOOGLE IT THOUGH!!! I think it's probably more exciting if you don't know what to expect.
You think the business expense excuse would work?? I guess I could try to spin it as some kinda science retreat... but then you'd actually have to teach me some kinda science. I guess I'll just HAVE to learn how to clone myself while I'm there!! Oh well!!!
Chicago O'Hare, funky tunnel, got it!! Okay, oh man, this is super exciting. How's this??
[ He links the info of a flight leaving that coming weekend. Someone's eager. ]
I'm not working for them anymore but I'm still collaborating with them on the matter of getting back to our worlds, so I'm sure there's a way to make it sound Foundation-relevant.
Yes, that looks perfect!! I can meet you at the baggage claim.
[ And come the weekend, there's Giovanni, excitedly hopping onto a plane in California and, several hours and coloring book pages later, making his way off another one in the great white north that is Minnesota. Luckily for the purposes of not drawing undue attention, he's not wearing his Banzai Blasters uniform (it's in the wash). His casual wear is surprisingly subdued: jacket open over an extremely cool T-shirt, jeans, boots, and his favorite black nail polish. Any post-flight grumpiness dissipates as soon as he spots Saphir, running over to crush him into a hug. ]
Replicator!! Oh my god, that tunnel, you were totally right, it's AMAZING! It's like you're in space! Rainbow space!! How did you know rainbow's like my third favorite color?
[ Saphir is there to greet him in a rose-printed dress shirt (half unbuttoned as usual) and a complementary necklace. He's got a crappy handmade WELCOME sign on a piece of printer paper, because he's never had anyone to greet at an airport before and he's excited to finally have this experience. It gets crumpled immediately in the hug, but that's fine. ]
Isn't it?? I mean, it smelled a little weird in there last time I went through, but it's still beautiful. I almost missed my connecting flight the first time because I got caught up taking pictures of it.
[ When they've separated, Saphir gives him a big, genuine smile that probably would have been impossible to imagine back when they'd first met, and blinks away a few pesky tears as he brushes some hair out of his face. ]
Ah... I'm really happy that you're here. T-the flight was all right otherwise too, I hope?
Mmyeah, kinda boring, but it was neat learning a little more about the places in this world. Did you know Chicago invented this kind of pizza with a really big crust? I gotta get a longer layover next time so I can -
[ Giovanni peers closer at Saphir. ]
...You crying, Replicator? I didn't think you missed me that much!
[ Do they have to make these visits, like, a monthly thing? Weekly? ]
Anyway, if you didn't get a chance to try it, I'm sure there's a place with deep dish pizza somewhere around here, unless you want to save that for when you're actually in Chicago.
Hey-! I got by for twenty of these stupid short Earth years, you know!!
[ Smoothing his hair back down with a huff! ]
But yes, let's do that, then... I'll see if I can find a place once we get to the car.
[ He'll lead the way to the short-term parking garage, where he unlocks a burgundy Kia Sorento and helps with any bags that need to go in the back seat. Once that's taken care of, he sits down in the driver's seat and takes out his phone to check Yelp for reviews for deep dish pizza around here. ]
Let's see... [ He compares the map to the list briefly. ] All right, if we cross the earlier bridge to the east, then... This looks good, right?
Psssh, only 'cause you didn't remember me. I bet if you did you woulda been blubbering every day, you weenie.
[ He follows Saphir to the parking garage, wheeling his pink travel suitcase and not making any more assaults on the poor man's hair in the interim. Once there, he eyes their conveyance with a twinge of jealousy. ]
Man! This is way nicer than my mom's car!
[ Then again, they are in the future. A future. Kind of. Man, thinking about weird time stuff makes Giovanni's head hurt, so he elects not to. Instead, he hops into the passenger's seat, buckling his seatbelt (safety first, even for criminals!) and then peering over to see the site Saphir's showing him. ]
Looks great! Crank that motor, dude, I'm starving!
Ah... Thank you, I think? [ Kind of depends how nice his mom's car was in the first place, but! ] It's less exciting than I'd prefer, actually, but I needed something with a lot of room for hauling machinery around from time to time, and they don't really make cute utility vehicles.
[ Anyway!! He gets buckled in himself, and off they go! He turns the 80s station on the radio down a little so he can point out anything potentially interesting that they might be passing by.
The pizza does not disappoint, and there are still some leftovers, so it's a double win. Not too long after, they're turning the corner onto his street and pulling into the garage. ]
And here we are! You've got everything?
[ He's got the pizza box himself!
The garage isn't too interesting, though it does have a workbench with a pretty good range of tools, if that's the kind of thing you're into.
He does pause momentarily before opening the door that leads inside to his house. ]
Oh-- my bird can be a little loud sometimes, so don't let that catch you off guard.
[ After some of the tastiest pizza Giovanni's had in a long time (man! He's been giving this world and its culinary innovations too little credit), here they are, coming up to Saphir's place. Giovanni presses his face up against the car window as they pull in, fascinated. ]
Wow, nice pad! You've been doing pretty well for yourself, huh, Mr. Fancy Professor?
[ He hoists his suitcase out of the back, pauses briefly to admire the array of tools (he's no craftsman himself, but not knowing what they do just makes them more interesting!), and then scoots to follow Saphir to the door - but the bird comment stops him short. ]
You got a bird? What kind? An eagle? A cassowary?? Does it have large talons?
[ He is way too excited about the possibilities here. ]
[ He's done pretty well, what with the ubiquity of the roomba, but he's not sure if Giovanni is mistaking the entire building for his house -- it's basically an upscale duplex -- or if he's just easily impressed by everything.
At those bird predictions, he looks back over his shoulder with a familiar are you serious expression. ]
...No, she's a cockatoo. [ What the hell do you think he is, some kind of monster tamer... ] I think you'll appreciate her appearance, though.
[ He opens the door into the kitchen, and there are indeed some excited chattering bird noises from some distance away. He raises his voice to give her a greeting as he stands back and holds the door to let Giovanni and his suitcase through, though the pizza box in his other hand probably makes it a little difficult to pass. ]
Yes, baby, I'm back.
[ Once they're inside, he'll close the door behind them and go to stick this pizza in the fridge.
Much like the exterior, the inside of the house might seem unexpectedly tame, with all the walls still painted the default beige. The furniture isn't too outlandish either, though the colors are a little more fitting -- black with accents of pink, purple, and red, and there are some silk flower arrangements placed here and there. The much anticipated bird is in a large walk-in cage in the living room past the kitchen and dining room. ]
So, shall I show you around? You can either put your things in my room or by one of the couches, whatever you'd prefer.
[ Giovanni may be easily impressed, but also, he absolutely does think the entire thing is Saphir's house. What does he know about home ownership? He lives in his moms' basement!
Slightly disappointed at the vanished promise of cassowaries, Giovanni shuffles past Saphir and his pizza box into the house's interior. The decor is tasteful, or at least, that's how a normal person would see it. Giovanni sees it as unforgivably boring. If he had his own place, he'd be sticking baseball posters up everywhere - and where's the mad science lab??
He doesn't say any of that, though. He's a good guest. He does, however, eye the cockatoo critically. ]
...Well, I guess her talons are pretty large.
[ You know. Relatively speaking. ]
Aaaaand okay, fine, she's adorable. Pretty birdy. Yes you are! Yes you are.
[ Oh, right, someone who's not a bird lives here too. And he's offering him the grand tour, which Giovanni is super up for, though he balks at the beginning of the next suggestion. ]
No way, dude, I couldn't sleep in your room! You're already putting yourself out by letting me stay here in the first place! Couch it is.
[ He slides his suitcase across the floor to the nearest couch, which it bumps into with a satisfying thunk. ]
[ The bird says something back that sounds vaguely like "You're pretty," which, you know, is definitely not something Saphir has intentionally taught her to say to him or anything. ]
W-well, I meant more like a sort of... sleepover thing, but...
[ WELL, they can come back to his secret slumber party wishes later. ]
Right. [ clears his throat!! ] So, this is the living room, and you've met Rhoda. [ She chimes in with some loud chirps followed by something that sounds like "shade", but we all know what that's supposed to be. ]
That's the door to the deck back there, and my bedroom is through here.
[ Somehow despite months of looking at this house, I did not comprehend where his bedroom was until I just spent two hours looking at interior photos of every house on the block that I could find, but THERE IT IS, with big doors that open straight into it from the living room for some reason. It's got a nice TV mounted on the wall, a big walk-in closet, an attached bathroom with a fancy bathtub, and plenty of silk flowers.
Back the way they came-- ]
Again, here's the dining room and kitchen that we came in through... You're welcome to anything in the fridge, just let me know if we're about to run out of anything. Glasses are here, dishes are here, silverware's in this drawer...
[ Pointing each of these things out... From the kitchen's other entrance into the front hall, he shows where the front door and a half bath are, and then that hall comes back into the living room again because this layout is apparently fucking confusing, and he leads the way down the stairs.
Downstairs is a somewhat more casual living room with a big TV and a Switch dock, and a study with some computers and half-finished robots and piles of papers and a nice little library cove, with books separated into three distinct sections, ostensibly by who they belong to. There's a mini kitchenette and a bathroom, and one door in between them that's closed. ]
And this is Marona's bedroom here. I'm not going to go snooping in there while she's away, but trust me, it's very cool! We made a bunch of seashell decorations and things-- oh, wait, I should have some pictures. [ Gets out his phone and pulls up some photos from when they first finished decorating!! Clearly more effort and care went into this room than into the rest of the rooms here. ] See??
[ Giovanni follows along, as impressed a tourist as Saphir could ask for, though at times he seems a touch preoccupied. But while any bed that's not in the shape of a race car seems like a missed opportunity to Giovanni, even he has to admit that Saphir's bedroom is extremely fancy, and he eyes the study with excitement once they hit the downstairs. Not quite as traditional a mad scientist lab as one might hope, but he'll take it!! Note to self: read all of Saphir's robot research later and absorb his powers.
He oohs over the pictures of Marona's room, but that reminds him of something he'd been meaning to ask, and Giovanni stands there awkwardly for a moment. He shifts from foot to foot, then blurts out: ]
Hey, uh. Did you really mean it, about wanting to have a sleepover? I wasn't trying to be - I mean, I didn't think you'd - were you serious?
Oh, okay. Cool. I just wasn't sure you'd want to, 'cause of how you're all fancy and I'm all, well... not.
[ Giovanni's face clouds for about half a second before returning to its usual wattage. ]
But you've really never had a sleepover before? Oh man, that's criminal, and not the cool kind of criminal like I am! We gotta change that! Stay up late, watch scary movies, talk about our crushes... Ooh, I brought nail polish!
[ He blinks at that first part. He has a pantry full of Velveeta shells and drives a Kia; his fanciness really doesn't go very deep. As he has been... reminded many times lately... ]
You know I invited you here because you're my friend and being with you makes me happy, right?
[ Turning slightly red and tucking his hair behind his ear... ]
And I mean, I've-- slept within the vicinity of other people, obviously [ like in the bunks at the mansion and at the military academy! ], just... not like that.
[ Like That, yes, but it's very much not the same!!
...He looks slightly nauseated by the "talk about crushes" part of that, actually, but perks back up at nail polish. ]
[ As true as that may be, it's important to note that it's not too difficult to qualify as fancy by Giovanni's standards. This is the man for whom taping a knife to a baseball bat is the height of sophisticated weaponry. ]
Yeah, being with me when you're awake! I didn't know you wanted me around when you were asleep too! I mean, can't blame you for not being able to get enough of me, but if I drool on one of your color-coordinated pillows you've got only yourself to blame, bud.
[ Flippant words to the contrary, Giovanni is very obviously feeling the warm fuzzies right now. He grins at Saphir, any blips in self-esteem forgotten, and totally ignorant of the momentary discomfort he's caused the poor man just now. ]
So, anything else you've always wanted to do at a sleepover with your favorite boss? Ooooh, this is gonna be so much fun!
[ Is unconscious soup drooling a thing? Not that he loves the idea of regular drool either...! And since that has now been put forth as a possibility-- ]
All right, you're getting one of the spare pillowcases.
[ Anyway!! ]
That aside, I think you've covered the bases pretty well. [ And he clearly isn't an expert on these things himself anyway. ] But yes, there are some things I think I'd like to talk about later. ...Um, non-crush things.
[ ... ]
Tangentially, do you... think it would be too weird if we played the video game based on my world? I mean, I have Mario Kart too! And... er, a few other things that aren't really multi-player. [ Maybe shouldn't confess to having bought FE3H for the primary purpose of vicariously marrying his friend's potential father-in-law. ] But, you know, you could see the horses this way.
