32nd Blood | The road to become GDA! Great Driver Arcueid!!

[tsukihime]

[All around the streets of Mayfield | Most of today]

[Why hello there, Mayfield. Have you suddenly found yourself hit by that slime from that one delightfully hilarious classic movie? Are you feeling a little bit irritable today? Picking fights, snapping at your loved ones, and generally just being dicks to one another?

Well, don't worry! Arcueid's here!.......to make it worse. You may be stomping around town looking for a fight, or just generally irritable, or maybe even not affected at all. But, if you are anywhere near paved streets, you may bear witness to an odd sight.

Thanks to one certain Golden superhero, who honestly knew NOT what he did, Arcueid has been introduced to her new favorite "sport." This "sport," happens to be CART RACING! That's right, Arcueid has stolen a shopping cart from the store, finding areas with a high incline, and practicing her racing prowess on the streets.

So, as you travel through town, you may suddenly be passed by a fast-moving blur of blond, white and silver. She may almost hit you, she may fly by just laughing loudly, or she might even HIT YOU. Hey, these things aren't easy to control from inside. Hopefully anyone she mows over ends up being people who can take a hit from a shopping cart loaded with a vampire at what must be a good 20 to 30 miles per hour. Feel free to react however you please, or even pick a fight!]

[John Doe Park | Evening]

[There's a mangled, discarded cart laying in the grass near a blonde woman in white also laying on her back in the grass. Her limbs are stretched out, and she appears to just be staring at the sky. That's really it. It's hard to tell whether she's alive or dead from a distance.]

[adropofjupiter]

[There is a witch on a broom in the air. SLIME FREE. She's staring directly down at the vampire.]

...if you don't blink in the nest minute, I'm going to poke you with something to see if you twitch.

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid's going to see if she's really going to do it. Not blinking at all, nope.]

[adropofjupiter]

[After a minute, Marisa lands next to Arc. She then reverses her grip on the broom and proceeds to poke the vampire in the side.]

Hey... hey... [poke poke] Hey... [poke poke]

All around

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett is already in a horrible mood due to the slime. It takes every ounce of her willpower to curb the strong urge she has to smash everything in this town.]

[This is why she snaps when a speeding cart almost hits her.]

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!

[Upon further inspection, the offending vehicle is a shopping cart.]

DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN PLAY STAR WARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN STREET?

[tsukihime]

[Woah that woman sounds PISSED. After turning around in an attempt to see who it is...Arcueid's cart ends up slamming sideways into the curb.

Of course, this causes a massive spin-out, resulting in the cart grinding to a stop on its side, and Arcueid tumbling to the concrete.

Of course, she jumps up instantly. Not a scratch on her except for the ground-dirt on her clothes, which she's attempting to dust off at the moment. It seems her wipe-out has caused her to momentarily forget about the near-victim up the street.]

[WHAT AM I LOOKING AT DID YOU SERIOUSLY ALMOST JUST RUN OVER HER

wow that suddenly wasn't a sudden explosion of killing intent NOPE just... average Tuesday right I mean we literally ARE Tuesday after all!

But yes is she just going to keep going after almost crashing into a familiar blue-haired figure...]

[tsukihime]

[She would have, if the wheel of the cart hadn't hit a particularly large rock sitting near the curb in the road.

The cart flips end-over-end, spilling the blond out onto the street. Her face slides along the ground for a bit, before she comes to a full stop, the cart bouncing along down the street a number of feet ahead of her before settling upside-down.

She just lays there, her face and knees on the ground, arms sitting limply to her sides.]

[splitthebaby]

[YOU RAN OVER MEREM

The shopping cart will probably like....tip and knock Arc over though.]

[tsukihime]

[Yup, the cart flips, tossing Arc out onto the street.

After a few feet-over-head rolls, Arcueid will gracefully spring up and run to see if the person she hit is okay.]

Oh no are you okay??

Park/Evening

[duodecim]

[Tsubaki is taking a late night walk to clear her mind. It's very relaxing and the silence of Mayfield so late is really calming.

So peaceful and calming that she doesn't even notice Arcueid on the ground and proceeds to trip over the body, landing face first on the grass with the other half of her body atop the vampire.

Whoops.]

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid doesn't seem to really move...but she's somewhat amused by this.]

You should watch where you're going.

AROUND TOWN

[thecoolexec]

[Tony sits on the railing outside of the burger place, absently finishing off a cheeseburger and people-watching while enjoying some sunny weather. He's heard a weird metallic rattling in the past five minutes, though, the only unpleasant thing in the surrounding area right now besides... Mayfield itself.]

[tsukihime]

[Well, I do hope you were enjoying that nice day, because Arcueid has now slammed into that railing and been pitched out onto the concrete. It seems she couldn't turn in time.

After a solid landing on her face, Arcueid gracefully jumps to her feet, dusting herself off.]

Man, I thought I had that.

Around town.

[omlettedufromage]

[Insert comedic scream and Dexter running for his dear life here. He barely makes it out of the way, leaving him to ask the question that's on everyone's mind.]

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!

[tsukihime]

[Oh, whoops, in her attempt to avoid the little kid in her way Arcueid has veered off course and has managed to jump a curb...yet slam into a tree.

It almost looks like some kind of cartoon. Arc splatted against a tree and slowly falling to the ground.]

around

[ryougi]

[Wow and Shiki thought Touko was a crazy driver...

No okay really she was taking her own regular walk when SUDDENLY THERE'S A BLUR OF PERSON AND CART IS PASSING THROUGH??? If that isn't something to react to than nothing is.

Which is why she sidesteps at the last moment to avoid being hit. Shiki isn't exactly ticked, but she is curious.]

You're gonna crash at that rate.

[tsukihime]

[True to Shiki's word...Arcueid does end up slamming into a fire hydrant after managing to jump the curb. Of course, this means a sudden stop for the cart, but not for Arcueid. She flies out of the cart, and ends up slamming into a car parked on the curb.

For a moment she just lays there, half her body pressed up against the car, the other half laying limply on the ground, until she just jumps up as if nothing happened.]

Man...I keep clearing curbs at the wrong time.

streets

[envyspites]

[Woah you nearly ran over a green-haired lady on her bike, here. She'll do her best to get her bearings and start pedaling again, hoping to catch up with the shopping cart.]

Hey! You! Lady with the cart!

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid does her best to twist around after hearing the shout, trying to get a good look at the girl on the bike.

Once she does so...the cart begins to fishtail. Arcueid whips around, attempting to regain control, but it's too late. The cart falls over on it's side, sliding along the ground and dumping Arcueid out, who rolls on the ground for a number of feet before finally stopping. The cart finally grinds to a halt a good distance down the road, and Arcueid just lays on the pavement in an unnaturally twisted heap.]

[normality]

[ hmm, just walking normally, why are his uhhh senses going off.. he turns his head to the side and, more out of instinct and good luck than any actual skill, he manages to divce right out of the way before he's hit by the cart. It's for the best, either way, contrary to what canon says Mikiya isn't that durable..

... Wait, the person in it looked familiar, right? ]

Hey..! [ HE DECIDES TO TRY AND GIVE CHASE BUT like hell he could outrun that, oops. ]

[tsukihime]

[He won't have to go far. This one Arcueid actually saw, and in an attempt to not hit the boy she had pulled up on the front of her cart for some reason. WHY she thought this would work is anyone's guess, but she just ended up pulling the cart into a wicked wheelie, toppling it backwards and spilling her out onto the concrete.

After a bit of sliding, Arcueid gracefully bounds to her feet, brushing herself off a bit.]

Are you okay...um...oops, I don't remember your name.

around town

[badladyscramble]

[WHAM

Yeah, you sure just hit a loli vampire who was out for a stroll with her parasol. She goes flying and lands in the middle of the street as the cart rolls to a stop just short of running her over again.]

[tsukihime]

[How did she...not crash this time? STILL, jumping out of that cart to tend to the poor little loli she just hit.]

Hey, hey are you okay?

Streets of Mayfield

[doudemoe]

!

[Moving OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY.]

[tsukihime]

[Nice reaction time, because you would have ended up pinned between Arcueid's cart and that unfortunate car if you hadn't moved! Speaking of which, Arcueid has been sent flying through the air right OVER that car, hitting the grass HARD with her face and just laying there, limbs splayed about.]
