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!

[deto]

[ hoping the other racers will use themselves as bait - and they do. maybe it’s a coincidence, but it seems to deto that the computers always roll the decent items. one of them fires a red shell yoshi’s way as something blue (?) and wild whizzes past him

nani the heck ]

1/2

[justonezero]

[The shells deflect the red at least!]

Whew, safe!

2/2

[justonezero]

[-Only to get obliterated by the blue shell.]

Ehhhhh?!!

[deto]

Thank you for the blessing, baseball gods, I humbly accept this boon.

[ … of impending victory!! thanks, computers!! now’s his chance to zoom to yoshi’s side ]

[justonezero]

Computerrrrr, you traitor!!

[He can't regain his speed in time... Akira surpasses him!]

[deto]

Excuse me, coming through -

[ the first time is always the most exhilarating and deto definitely experience that first place high for however long he’s in first

which is probably not that long as they have another lap or so, plenty of time for sabotage ]

[justonezero]

It's not over yet!

[He's even more determined now, working to regain some speed and drive into another box for some items - which turns out to be a pack of mushrooms he can use at the straight shots in the course to regain some ground.]

[deto]

[ following his own rules and not looking at yoshi, even though deto knows, intimately, by the tone of his voice what kind of face he’s making. tempting though -

but now that he’s in the front, it turns out the hardest part is paying attention to what’s happening behind him while maintaining speed and also catching item boxes. a trio of banana peels? he’ll take it. and rather than saving them for protection, he plops them out in a diagonal line behind him. his goal is to minimize free space on the track, but he almost flies off a sharp turn doing so - ack

… hey actually isn’t that a great strat? corners and curves are the hardest so if he clutters the area there with peels… ]

Heh, that sounds like something an anime protag would say.

[justonezero]

You're dating a nerd, you know.

[He's got good steering, if nothing else - it helps him to cut through the course and dodge obstacles along the way, too. He's regaining speed!]

[deto]

[ tch, bun too good, but he’ll save that strat for the bots. not much to do now but keep his lead somehow ]

Feels more like I’m dating a ruthless pro strategist. So, Mr. Protag, what’s your storyline?

[justonezero]

-Eh? Wait, am I a pro strategist, or a protag?

[With another box comes another chance of- aha! A single red shell.

Better make this one count!]

[deto]

Why not both? You’re capable of so much.

[ proud boyfriend, who is trying to remember what the maybe-squid-maybe-ghost item does. oh well, he’ll just use it anyway ]
