One future fan acquired! Okay, the day didn't suck quite so much anymore. Tobias refrained from fist-pumping, though. No need to get over-excited. "Oh, the laps are just to test endurance and give everyone time to work out the race's strategies. When you move at a hundred fifty or two hundred miles an hour, you need to give yourself that time somehow. Behind tte wheel is not a good place to be coming up with strategies." Tobias was also used to leaving most of that to his crew; he was the driver, not the leader.

"It's all a matter of the people with the money and the knowledge doing the doing," he agreed, climbing onto the bus and dropping his change in the slot. If it wasn't the right amount, the driver didn't notice at all. Heck, the driver didn't even seem to notice him, and he had wavy tendrils and fins sticking out of his face. Just a little bit more noticeable than bad change.

And now for the seat-arranging technique. Tobias carefully gathered his tail on front of him to minimize the space he took up and perched on the edge of the seat, just far enough back that he could balance but while leaving just enough space that the base of his tail didn't get too crushed behind him. His tail was not well suited to human structures, but it was what he had so all he could really do was make the best of things. Plus it let him get off his feet for a bit!

Alex opted to stand, gripping the above bar and scanning the small group on the bus. They were given a wide berth, no doubt because they didn't want to get any closer to Tobias. Still a nervous knot formed in his stomach. Last time he had gotten on a bus there had been a madman with a gun, last time he nearly got shot for being a mutant. He didn't regret leading Tobias to the mansion but he couldn't help but feel a bit scared.

The bus jolted to a start, joining the flow of traffic. It was going to be a long ride that's for sure. Still better than walking. "So when we get there, we'll probably have to check you in first and find you an empty room or at least one still looking for a roommate. But beyond that I don't think there will be much of a problem."he commented, being careful not to mention the name or what it was known for.

No need to let people know anything beyond what they could see. He just hoped that even though it was obvious what they were that they wouldn't get harassed. Again, didn't blame Tobias, but last time left him a might bit paranoid of public transportation.
