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.]

[Arcueid just stares at Bazett for a long moment, before finally sighing.]

Fine. Just remember what I said. If I catch wind of anything I don't like I'm going to put you in your place.

[Arcueid walks to her cart, bending down to pick it up.]

Get out of my sight.

[answerer_sword]

Wait...

[Bazett hates her decision. She hates having to ask this girl for help. However, as it stands, the True Ancestor is the only person within range who can help her with this.]

Can you...follow me to the Church?

[She wants the True Ancestor to be there to restrain her if she started to get violent with anyone else on the streets.]

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid's busy rolling her cart back and forth to see if it still moves properly before she responds in a disgruntled tone.]

Why?

[answerer_sword]

Because you are strong. You can stop me if...if I go on a rampage. Just to the Church. Walk with me and...if I try to hurt anyone, then restrain me. Kill me if you must.

[tsukihime]

Why the heck are you going to go on a rampage? I was just trying to piss you off on purpose, anyway. Don't take it so personal.

[answerer_sword]

It...is not you. I was...contaminated by some slime earlier.

[It is almost funny. Had she not been contaminated, she certainly would have given way to her anger and answered the True Ancestor's challenge.]

It apparently makes people into berserkers.

[tsukihime]

Oh, so you're not this crazy normally?

[Arcueid seems to think about that for a long moment, before finally sighing.]

Fine, let's go. But if you're going to be trouble for anyone I'll just kill you so you can get over it. Understand?

Why the church, anyway?

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett growls in response to the True Ancestor's remark.]

Yes, I understand.

There is a person there who I think can help me.

[tsukihime]

[Lots of people seem to hang out at the church...maybe she's right.]

Alright alright, let's go. I'm taking my cart, though. If you act up it's going into your face.

[answerer_sword]

I understand.

[With that, she resumes her walk toward the church.]

...Thank you.

[She mutters, not sure if the True Ancestor could hear her.]

[tsukihime]

[Oh, she can hear, she just chooses not to acknowledge. She'll simply follow along, pushing her cart along ahead of her and keeping a sharp eye on the woman she's walking with.]
