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

[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.]

Oh, all of that would be cheating. Cart races are about not having motors and stuff! That's half the fun.

You just go down a really, really steep hill and try to steer it. I guess it's more of a thrill for humans, because they could get injured if they mess up. For me it's just really fun!

I have participated in downhill races before, and I can tell you, there is never enough reason to not have plenty of gadgets on your cart! Or at least shape it up to be more aerodynamic!

It is certainly not cheating! If weights and the like to help acceleration are certainly legal, then certainly, other methods should be! It could totally even be a new sport for boy scouts to get their merit badges at or what have you.

[tsukihime]

I don't know what boy scouts are...but...how do I make it go faster without putting engines or whatever on it?

[Arcueid is...intrigued...by what this boy genius offers.]

[omlettedufromage]

Aerodynamics, my dear! Science!

The lower your wind resistance is, the faster your cart will go!

[tsukihime]

Well how do I do that?

[omlettedufromage]

[Dexter goes into a long speech about aerodynamics. Very long, and also boring. This would be the point where he scribbles down tons of notes on the sidewalk with chalk. hey, if he doesn't have a blackboard, it'll have to do.]

[This only serves to cause Arcueid to fall asleep...standing up.]
