[ he picks the middle one. ] Now you're just tryin' to flatter me.

Nah. I mean it, it is about time other people realized you are cool, too. [A teasing smile, and John looks at the ticket before he perks up.] It finally came!

[Yeah he. Doesn't even explain before he's practically shoving the ticket into the mailbox to retrieve his ectobiologist suit.] This is the one I was talking about.

...You should have got that last, now I just wanna see you in it for the full effect?

[There's a laugh.] I can at least put on the coat if you're that curious. Or I'll play dress-up at the house, I don't care.

Dress up at the house later. What's the third ticket?

[ or however many there are left. ]

[The suit gets thrown into the sylladex and he looks at his tickets. His eyebrows raise a little and he looks a little conflicted at that.]

Uh. [He's not going to specify, but he'll shove the ticket in the box and it'll spit out Dad's wallet.]

A wallet? [ let's just state the obvious. ] ...Your dad's? [ john's being a little weird so. ]

Maybe. It just said "wallet" but I already have a wallet. And I did not carry one back then. What the hell would even be in this?

[Give him a moment, he's going to open the wallet and the first thing that falls out is the huge pile of pipes. Followed by the car.]

Heads up!

[ yeah. dave immediately grabs john around the waist and jets them out of the way, very gently setting him down on his feet once they're out of the danger zone although he doesn't exactly...let go?

in case he has to move them again. ]

...Who in the hell needs that many pipes.

[Among the pile of pipes is also a ton of other shit and John's staring down at it. He doesn't pull away from Dave, but he's eyeing the car anyway and the other items curiously.]

Dad, apparently. My question is who the hell needs this many razors?

[ uh yeah that's so many blades? dave's arm tightens around john's middle. ] So, that was the most dangerous thing you've done in months.

How was I supposed to know Dad's wallet was actually Dad's sylladex? [But he's leaning in anyway and staring at these piles of junk, though he does try to step forward to pick up the photos of himself.] Though I guess that makes sense why I was in a flying car.

The car flies? [ dave lets go but he hovers a step away in case something explodes.

look. ]

I am pretty sure I made the car fly with the windy thing? I remember talking to Jade while someone else was driving, too. [...] I'm an idiot. I told Jade the car came from Dad's wallet. I was trying to find him and the clouds led me there instead.

[He's still eyeballing everything, but he hands the pictures to Dave.] Putting all of this back is going to be a pain in the ass.

[ john baby photos get and dave promptly is fully distracted?? ]

[That's fine, he's going for the Crosbytop and picking it up.]

Hey. Who's this douche?

Bing Crosby, dingus. [ why would john know that. dave looks up from his ~mini-john~ pics. ] So, I'm claiming these and keeping them forever.

Why would--okay. [WHATEVER. It goes back in Dad's wallet, too, but he suddenly looks over to see what Dave's keeping.] Are those my baby photos? Dude.

[Is he surprised? Not in the slightest.]

You were adorable. I want to pinch your cheeks? You kids will be cute as fuck, what the hell.

You're an embarrassment, shut uppp. [But he's still not surprised and he just tries to push at Dave's face.] Also what do you mean were? I'm still adorable! I think.

No, you're hot, there's a total difference. [ is there. ]

Is the difference that you won't have sex with me if I only count as adorable? [Bold of you to assume, Egbert.]

...I mean, no, I would definitely do things with you either way, but there's still a difference. [ the difference is hot is not adorable but adorable can be hot? ]

Sure, okay. [He's not going to ask the difference because he assumes it's the same as always where Dave will be cagey until he feels like not being cagey.] One more ticket, Tex. Wanna go for it or save it for later?

Obviously we have to cash it in right now, Washington. Otherwise we're going to either forget it or just be curious. ...Probably the former, admittedly.
