98. [Action for Saffron City, backdated to Friday]

[It's funny, because these sorts of weekends have come to be ones that Heather dreads, clear memories or no. She doesn't remember much of them when they roll around, but she remembers enough, and usually what she remembers is bad.]
[So yeah, she's sort of been walking on eggshells, waiting for this to happen.]
[BUT... between all the craziness going down throughout November... bundling over to Kanto with the rest of her family to cheer Crow on during the Tournament, spending Thanksgiving in the packed-to-bursting household of a grumpy FBI agent and the enormously large family unit he seems to have somehow gathered (despite... being himself) ...]
[It drives weird dreamy weekends filled with amnesia and horror and the Koolaid Man bursting through the wall out of the mind, a little!]
[.... Which is why, yeah, uh, she's out taking Cooj for a nighttime walk on Friday night, and doesn't quite notice anything's up yet.]
[Or the pink bunny following her around.]
[OOC: Tags may be horrendously slow due to NaNo, but I had to hiatus-break at least a LITTLE for 4th Wall! Robbie the Rabbit will be lingering in the background of any given thread, but feel free to throw anything at Heather and not bother with the spooky pink bunny chillin over there.]

... As is watching the road, apparently, since at some point, he turns around to Heather.]
Ain't it awesome? Too bad I can't show you a Riding Duel! That'd be really something!
no subject
Mrrfng dwwl?
no subject
C'mon, you're gonna miss the view that way!
[He assumes that weird growl she's made, whatever it was supposed to be, was referring to what he'd mentioned earlier.]
Riding Duel! It's a duel played while riding D-Wheels.
no subject
[Still, she peels her face away from his back slightly-- enough to let the wind whip her hair into fluttering.]
A DUEL? You mean like with those CARDS?!
[THAT SOUNDS INSANE.]
ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE?!
no subject
Back during his early days in Johto, the fact people were so shocked with the idea of playing the card game while riding confused the hell out of Crow, given how there's nothing unusual about it back home, but at this point he just finds it amusing. And a bit sad at the same time, too, because damn, people must have really boring lives in their worlds.]
Exactly! Don't get me wrong, ground duels are cool, too, but this is something else!
[If by "insane" you mean "amazing", then yes, that covers it.]
no subject
YOU'RE CRAZY!
[... SHE MEANS IT IN A GOOD WAY, CROW. HONEST.]
no subject
Maybe! But if I am, then so's the rest of my world.
[
Which is probably actually true, um.The duelist gives Heather a confident smirk over his shoulder.]
... And where's the fun in doing things the "normal" way, huh?
[Not that Riding Duels feel anything but "normal" to him, but even back in Neo Domino, they aren't quite as wide-spread as the ground ones, seeing as they require a whole different set of skills to play.]
no subject
[IT'S LIKE ONE OF HER FAVORITE THINGS TO DO.]
no subject
Crow lets out an amused snort, because really? Really? Even overreactions have limits.]
C'mon, D-Wheelers ain't suicidal. We know what we're doing. Dying in an explosion? That doesn't happen!
[Although, now that she mentions it, he thinks back to the Ghost incident, as well as how the final match of WRGP ended and--
Oh.
Welp.]
... Often.
no subject
[But he can go ahead and feel smug because her grip around him tightens almost IMMEDIATELY.]
no subject
Just keep in mind I've still gotta breathe, 'kay?
no subject
Should've thoughta that before inviting me on! PUT SEATBELTS ON THIS THING.
no subject
Well, there have been instances of people fastening themselves to their D-Wheels... The result being one of them getting literally ripped in half and the other being blown up during their respective duels.]
Not sure if you'd really wanna be strapped to a D-Wheel. Just in case it, y'know, crashed or something.
I know I wouldn't.
[... He's kidding.
Mostly.
Probably.]
no subject
[Okay she takes back the seatbelt idea.]
How FAST are we going?
no subject
[... People pay attention to such things?
Crow glances down at the screen on the dashboard for a moment before replying.]
Just 'bout 120 kmph or so.
[He's going really slow just for you. c:]
no subject
[The one good thing about going this fast is that no one could hear the squeak she made.]
no subject
What's that? [... Oh no, he's not gonna--] You're scared?
[He did.]
no subject
[That's smushed-face-ese for SHUT YOUR MOUTH.]
no subject
[He imagines it wasn't anything nice, though. Sounded more like a roar.]
Seriously though, you're gonna miss the whole point of the ride that way. Or break my back. Whichever comes first.
