max and kadziobased get charged with arson and max fucking dies vol. 1

Repercussions, Regrets, Grief

Incoming call – Max.

What started off as nothing more than just a simple joke eventually became a double sided promise from both me and him. The thing the promise is circling around? Miku's brand new anime wrapped 180SX. I'm not too sure which mistake is bigger – the fact that he actually wrapped it, or the fact that he shared it to Diecast Discord. Either way, as you sow, so you reap, or something like that. I've never been too good at quoting popular sayings and pieces of wisdom word-to-word.

We've been planning this for quite a long time now. To be fair, we've been taking our sweet time to such an extent that you can't really call Miku's 180SX brand new. I bet he's already had to take it to a car wash or such.

„What a shame, that money could have been spent in a better way" – I thought to myself, as I packed my box of tomatoes. That's the vegetable we've settled on. Classic, but effective, at that. I picked up the phone, and as I thought, Max wanted confirmation if we were actually gonna be doing this thing. It was too late to back down either way, honestly. Everything was set to go – the tickets, the exchanged currency, and of course the red colored vegetables. I double and triple checked that everything was ready to go, and I left my house quite excited for the trip.

The next day we were already settled in our hotel that was in Indonesia. I tried to find one that was as close to Miku's house as possible. In the end we found one with a nice rating that was 40 minutes away from our objective – the thing we came here for. Max took a surprisingly large amount of tomatoes. I guess he was really looking forward to doing this, huh? Now that I think about it, I'm not too surprised about that. He's always held a grudge for Miku's custom diecasts, so him seeing an actual car like that would be enough for his eyes to start flaming, probably.

And so we headed out. It was quite an experience finally being out on the streets of Indonesia, though I left my wallet at home, since I know how it is with these countries, their amount of pickpockets, robberies and whatnot. I also grabbed a drink along the way, since we were doing this on a scorcher of a day in the middle of summer, not a single cloud visible in the sky.

„The objective is gonna be worth it" – I thought, walking on the cracked pavement. Let me tell you, I wasn't wrong. When we arrived, the car was squeaky clean, fully wrapped, featuring anime characters I didn't recognize. There was an audible „Bruh..." from Max, who was at this point behind me, unzipping his bag and taking out a pack of tomatoes. Without a second thought, he lobbed it at the side door almost hitting me.

- I guess there's no going back now, huh?- I said to him, opening up my own pack and getting a good few throws in myself. It was actually pretty satisfying. I guess the childish personality that was inside of me remained to this day. The splats alongside the red spots appearing everywhere on the car was truly a sight to behold. - You know, I remember telling Miku I'd even pay for the car wash after this.

- If you do, I'll immediately see you as a traitor.

Well, it was a fair point from Max. What would even be the point of doing this in the first place if I would just go and wash it right off?

- So we'll leave Miku to clean up our own mess?

- Hell, let this be a lesson for him. Don't share stuff like that in a Discord that's generally against anime, unless you want to get tomatoed.

And so with that it was settled. I wouldn't clean up anything unless Miku threatened to sue us or something. For me, the fact that he wouldn't want to even speak with me would be enough.

Just like that, I stayed with my thoughts alone while trying to get the clean spots dirty, until I saw something that was something both of us completely overlooked. I gave Max a pat on the shoulder and pointed at the window of the house, where the owner of the 180SX was standing. We both know who it is, obviously, and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out who he was calling. Max decided to just gun it, but by our great luck, the police car showed up and rounded up both of us. Next thing I know, I was on the way to the police station to be tried for murder. Of course I wasn't serious, but I had no idea what to expect, it was my first time in a police car.
