Good luck! The timing can be a little particular.

[Going to shift so he can start the stage for them!]

[deto]

[ hands off, lips off, eyes off - he will not be distracted again ]

[justonezero]

[3... 2... 1!

Yoshi nails the timing and takes off like a shot!]

[deto]

You know…

[ as his racing kart sputters through a failed boost ]

… it’s kinda sadistic that you have to time it on the two instead of the one, so that only gives you the three to get a sense of how long each beat lasts.

[ puttering along until he gets a better sense of the track… ]

[justonezero]

I don't think you're supposed to get it by your first race?

[There's still missing railing, but it's not as bad as Rainbow Road at least.

There's also ghosts that begin floating around the screen during portions, not to mention a spooky "haunted house" where bats are perpetually flying into players, slowing them down.]

[deto]

[ what tripped deto up with rainbow road were the sharp turns and steep hills, so he’s already doing better even with a failed boost ]

How do I show off for my pro gamer boyfriend then? Ack - assuming we don’t say hi to the ghosts.

[ as he just barely manages to avoid one ]

This reminds me of Halloween though. Excited to dress up?

[justonezero]

I don't usually dress up... It's not like I have places to go?

Do you want to see me dressed up?

[Casually setting a banana in a spot where there's absolutely no railing for a bit.]

[deto]

You have places to go with me now. We gotta get your stamina up.

[ he sees that peel in the far, far distance and hopes one of the other drivers will hit it instead because some of these turns are very, uh, blocky? with a few sneaky gaps here and there

navigating is a work-in-progress. on the bright side, he’s somewhere in the middle already ]

Um. [ distracted by driving ] I want… to see you have… fun.

[justonezero]

But that would be a Halloween party, specifically, right?

[Still talking totally casually as he catches up to first.]

[deto]

There’s - ah…

[ he trails off to slip into 4th place briefly, just neck and neck with 5th. but the top three seem pretty far still. won’t be easy to catch up hmm… he needs to attack ]

Street celebrations and stuff? Or we could just do a scary movie marathon at home or at one of those limited showings.

[justonezero]

Are you into horror movies?

[How dare this bun be able to look at Deto without losing speed.]

[deto]

… Some interesting ones…? I’m not picky.

[ he can feel the gaze, but he’s not looking at yoshi. will not. absolutely not. definitely not.

(he wants to)

too bad he’s competitive, forcing himself to keep his eyes on the track and the upcoming box which rolls into… a star? yesss ]

About… genre… - Damn, even with this, there’s still a big gap between me and 3rd.

[justonezero]

Hehe... Let's watch all kinds of movies once we move in together!

[Oh, a box finally gave him something other than bananas!

Firing off a green shell at the perfect moment to knock 2nd place off the edge, claiming the spot for himself!]

[deto]

[ watching yoshi brutally take down an opponent ]

- Wow. What do you like to watch, Yoshi?

[ he gets a mushroom that lets him close the gap a little faster. this is like the most okayest of items in his opinion. it’s better to be big in real life ]

Have a favorite?

[justonezero]

...Pretty much just anime? I was watching all of the new shows that were airing up until Fragment ruined my schedule.

[deto]

Wait - [ almost surprised enough to glance at yoshi, but he doesn’t. he bumps into the next racer, the two of them pushing hard against each other to stay on track ] - all of them?!

[justonezero]

Yes? Since I was home all the time, it wasn't hard.

[Not really getting any good items... He tries throwing a banana peel ahead and is pleasantly surprised to see first place slip and slide on it after all.]

[deto]

It’s not the time, it’s keeping track of all the different plots.

[ a banana peel right now would actually be great for deto, too. alas. it takes a moment, but he does manage to inch ahead enough to grab next box. a set of green shells. he immediately shoots one directly behind him hitting the kart he was bumping against earlier

this next section doesn’t have any railing, so he’s gonna have to wait until he’s closer to ricochet any shells… one of these has yoshi’s name on it ]

Yoshi, come closer.

[justonezero]

Huh? I've never had trouble with that. All the stories are super different.

[Currently trying to pass 1st and steal its spot!]

You'll have to catch me first!

[deto]

[ he’s dating both a dummy and a genius, clearly ]

Don’t plan on stopping - ever.

[ just waiiiting for a more stable part of the track - and once he’s there, two quick shells make their way toward 2nd and 3rd, bouncing off the sparse rails for a more unpredictable path ]

[justonezero]

[Uh-oh! One of the shells hits third, while the next ricochets right at him...!

Only to be deflected by a banana peel at the last second.]

[deto]

Ah - damnit, a counter. Smooth, Yoshi, real smooth.

[ deto’s going to remember this strat ]

So this means a shell countering a shell would be possible too, yeah?

[justonezero]

Yeah, but it'll use up the shell.

[Sailing into first byeeee.]

[deto]

‘Kay.

[ - oh but the split screen means he can see what item yoshi gets, so if he just waits until yoshi can’t counter… hm. maybe that’s the play

in the meantime, he needs to maintain the momentum, close the gap - and use the computer racers to his advantage. after all, yoshi has just become public enemy number one by slipping into first ]

Watch out, Nanase. I’m coming for you.

[ and luck gives him another growth spurt- wow. he uses it to bully his way one more spot up the ladder ]

[justonezero]

[He maintains speed well on tricky corners and rail-less track, smashing into another box to get a set of three green shells which, while fairly useless for attacking, make an excellent shield when he leaves them spinning around him.

Final lap...!]

Good luck with that!
