He said "You can't sit there." I just looked at him and then at 01 and 09-003. "I'm not exploding or anything. I am able to sit here." was what I said. Both of the Conquerors were disgusted. "Of course you would do something ridiculous and stupid." 01 said. 09-003 scoffed out loud. "Brianne would not be who they are if they weren't stupid! I thought that you would know by now." he mocked. They then shared a hearty laugh at my expense. That hurt my feelings a bit. I frowned at him. "That hurts my feelings, you know? Can you try being nicer to me?" I said. "So what? You are the one doing stupid things in front of me." 09-003 said. Sighing deeply, I just had to move along with the seating arrangements. Otherwise, we would never get home. Polo and Angelo were still outside of the car. "Polo, can you slide over to me?" I beckoned. He just nodded and slid next to me. He was sitting in the other seat. That would not work. "Can you scoot closer to me?" I asked. He did a little. I asked for more. He leaned over but his butt did not move. I needed to be more hands-on here. I just moved him on my lap.
It was then that I yelled "Angelo! Get in and close the door!!" He did it on reflex. Polo was on my lap and squirmed. He did not want to be there. It was unnatural to him. It was beyond his comprehension as an NPC. I did not care that he was uncomfortable. I buckled us in and told Marco and Angelo to do the same. Due to the fact that they did like and trust me really well, they did so immediately. That really sealed Polo's fate on my lap. Everyone was stunned at what was happening here. "What did you just do?" 01 asked me blankly. "I, in my peak wisdom, solved the problem. It's time to drive back to the clan building." I said. 09-003 just looked at me. "Do you seriously think that I'm going to drive like this? The car is too crowded." I smirked at him. He frowned and furrowed his brows. He knew what was coming. "I didn't know that Conquerors like you were scared of breaking the human traffic laws. Wow." I mocked. That made him pissed off. "Alright then! We'll see how you feel with no regard for traffic laws!" he yelled. He then pulled off and began driving it erratically. Polo popped his armor plates.
As the rough ride continued, Polo's mood got progressively worse. He was freaking out from the start. Wiggling around with armor made it really uncomfortable for me. It was all I could do to keep him on my lap. "Can you be still?" I asked him. Annoyance was leaking into my voice. "Let me go Brianne! I don't want to be here. This isn't right!!" he cried out. I rolled my eyes. "You guys are clearly being crushed by us. Aren't you uncomfortable too!?" a confused Angelo asked me. "Polo is not having fun. If I was in his place, I don't know if I could handle that." Marco said. 01 added "You Advocates are weak... but even I wouldn't let Brianne treat me so badly." This was true. It was something that I could deal with. For me, I was only physically uncomfortable in this moment. For Polo, this was a trip from Hell. He was going through psychological warfare. Something that he could not explain was happening to him. Not only that, this was being done to him against his will. If someone had dangled me over a magical cliff, I would be upset also. I might even try to fight whoever was doing it to me. It was fact.
