Oh dude, like if we could find and steal a mint Alpha Black Lotus card from 93? Eight hundred thousand dollars. Crazy right? The value in these are in their rarity and how powerful they are in the games. You'd be surprised what people will spend.
[ He absolutely loved getting to share this stuff and not get called a nerd or geek.]
I think you mean beanie babies, we all bought into that craze a little.
Really, dude, really. The prices of memorabilia and collectables can be insane. You SO don't want to know what I've paid for some of my comics. And trust me forgeries are out there but they are usually pretty easy to spot.
Yeah, we're better than that. Besides, who would thwart Venture if we went into fake card making?
Some punk-ass second stringer unworthy of the title of nemesis, obviously.
[He thumbs through his phone a bit, as the car rumbles along. Feet up, as he said, causing pedestrians no end of minor upset. Which is exactly the way he likes it.]
Man, if only Venture was into that stuff though. We could fleece him like a catatonic sheep!
[ He's laughing all the same, but that's sure an image. At least this one doesn't make him feel awkward. ]
Dude, if we had the suit to try it, and not die, I would say let's try. But, also if it doesn't that's pretty much promised we'd die, or ruin the car. So actually, maybe not. Still! A cool idea. I wonder who made the car fly, if the comic is to be believed it was already flying before he met Jonas Venture.
[ The nerd thinks about these things, WAY too much. Timelines are tricky when pulling comic lore, as none of those involved were alive. Not like he knew real Kano, or would ever try to ask. ]
That... makes a certain amount of sense. It's kind of a nice car for those d-bags, but yeah. That could be it. Can you picture half of them on LSD? OMG that image is SO wicked.
[ That got a laugh out of him while he watched the sky pass. ]
Fair point, dude. And It's pretty sweet if it was. It's like sticking it to the OSI even more! [ he looked back over to the Monarch with an amused look. ] Dude, sometimes I wish I was born earlier, I missed all that cool shit.
[ That got a laugh out of Gary as he rushed up the steps, he'd be back down in a minute with the DVD's, one of his Star Wars throw blankets, and the box he hides his weed in. Might as well get comfortable for a night of Doctor Who.]

[ He laughed when he said it, slipping the cards back into the pocket they had been in. Just looking back in amusement at the car going. ]
Dude, it would be like stealing candy from a baby if Venture was. Oh man, he'd be so pathetic about it too!
[ He tried not to say it, but finally he looked at Monarch, grinning. ]
She totally made this into the Batmobile. We could call it to us if we were in danger!
no subject
[Not literally, but it served the point.]
I mean, I wouldn't doubt this shit could go to space.

Huh. Maybe he stole it from those OSI chumps? Half of them had to be high as balls on LSD back then, right?
Opps.

When you've got all that procurement money, they gotta get it right at least once. And back then, I think everyone was a little high.

You got to serve in a mighty flying cocoon and became the most fearsome henchman in all of Gen Z-era villainy. Wear it with pride, you dork.

Dude! You're so right! It was pretty sweet, and I'm in the era of the best games and shows. Who wants a time before the internet, anyway?
no subject
[Because everything has to be said dramatically.]

[ That got him grinning again. And he could tell the car nearly had them home. ]
Thanks again for the rescue. I owe you one.
no subject
Say nothing of it! I'm not leaving my partner in crime to that bullshit, thank you very much.
[Which may be the first time he's mentioned that particular change out loud.]
no subject
Oh my god! I'm your partner in crime! [ He knew, how could he not? But hearing Monarch acknowledge it? BEST gift. It wasn't even his birthday. ]
no subject
[He clamped his hands over his ears.]
Well, that's some guaranteed - bring it in a notch!
no subject
You're the best, dude.

And don't fuckin' forget it.

I won't, this just made the whole night, like the best, dude. [ He was going to be grinning for a while. ]
