[Good morning Nonah/Heropa/De Chima/etc. residents. Hope you've been enjoying it, because you'll need something to buffer here. Kaneda's already outside, lounging on his bike with his feet kicked up, hands behind his head and looking at the sky. Kaneda, you couldn't look more bored if you tried.]

So I guess I'm supposed to give you guys traffic updates or something. And you know me--I've got a burning desire to be an upstanding citizen.

[He turns his communicator about 30 degrees to the left, showing a patch of empty road that his bike was parked next to. Insert the cliche tumbleweed for some added aesthetic.]

Whooooooo-oooo! Brutal out there, guys! Stay safe!

[Okay, even he can't hide his smirk anymore.]

[Ugh.]

Are you sure?

De Chima streets aren't going to be as safe as your little post there.

Not nearly as well as I do.

[Streets, sidewalks, rooftops. Literally everywhere she can fit.]

You mean you're not here yet? How is that in any way a challenge?

[Oh she plans to. She is way too wired right now.]

[If he wasn't already in De Chima, then there were only two ways he could get there. Either the porter or the main highway entrance. She's betting the porter, if he has any intention of racing her today.

So she camps herself outside the porter building; sitting on a rail across the street, ignoring the looks from the natives walking past. She had a drink in hand, the straw bent under the visor, and casually sips while she waits.

She honestly expects Kaneda to recognize her once he sees her. He can't be that oblivious.]

[The flat sound of drawing on a nearly empty drink.]

Happened to be around.

[There is so much judgment at him right now. What a loser, walking out into traffic like that. She's wondering if this was a good idea. Sure, he SAID he's a racer, and definitely had the interest when they met a couple weeks ago, but...no one could be this dumb.

Her discs are locked together against her back, so she's sitting here without any sort of visible transportation either.]


I hope you're not planning on running this race.

[Well shit, she's actually impressed. That's a pretty handy power.

She hops off the rail, consequently further away from Kaneda, and tosses her cup in the trash. Still not making any move to reveal any kind of bike of her own.]


Good. Would you like a head start, Kaneda?

First off: not your babe. Second? Don't say I didn't give you a chance.

[She'd been practicing fast deploy on the magnets, and in a matter of seconds the single disc on her back became two wheels on the ground, Gogo levitating between them with an ease that shouldn't be possible. Like she lives on these magnets more often than not.

She throws him a salute and kicks off in a tight circle to dash down the street, weaving between traffic. She stays slow enough to give him the opportunity to keep sight of her, at least.]

[She takes a corner on an arc, her momentum driving her partway up a wall, and she twists so she's skating backwards, taking the chance to see how far back he is.

She pleasantly surprised to see him already gaining ground. Several drivers were shaking fists out their windows at them for weaving in amongst them, and she grins behind her visor. He wasn't just talk.

This was going to be fun.

Kicking back down to the street, facing forward again, she readies the magnets on her wrist armor. She's going to need some tight maneuvering to keep ahead of that bike without pushing herself to her limit.

At least the route is readily straight forward. It won't be hard for Kaneda to pick up that she's sticking to the main road through the city. She doesn't have much of a path in mind, but then what kind of street racers would they be if they were defined by lines?]

[Asking for her best is like asking for trouble.

He keeps up with her though, and she whoops as she cuts around a bus at the sheer thrill of racing someone who can't outpace her in seconds without trying. She likes Kid Flash, she really does, but this? This is nice. She understands his own excitement.

When she comes back into view on the other side of the bus, two more smaller wheels had detached from the face of the larger, and now hovered in place over her wrists. She tilts her head to glance at Kaneda over her shoulder and swerves towards a four wheeler waiting to turn. At the last second she twists so her body is nearly horizontal, one wrist to the ground for balance, and slides under the truck with a wave to him.

Catch me, she taunts wordlessly.]

[She'd slowed to watch him, then stopped for a breather as he just vaults over the truck. Sort of.

Okay, it was the least graceful thing she's ever seen, but it was effective and just a little badass. Putting a convenient power to interesting use. At least he got a good one. Unlike her.

Not now. She shakes her head sharply to keep her thoughts clear.

Impressed, Gogo starts moving again, circling tightly to build momentum before changing direction to run at him instead of where she was going. Like a game of chicken, except at the last moment she kicks off the ground, sets her hands on his shoulders and uses him to propel the rest of the way over.

Do you hear that laughter? Bright and carefree.]

[She keeps still as he veers around her, momentarily distracted by the tail lights. Almost like she could reach out and touch them.

Which, looked familiar...

Before she catches that train of thought, he's leaning in, and she forgets about what she'd been trying to remember as the challenge renews. She doesn't give him much of a headstart. Too much respect to insult his ability like that. Just whatever ground he gains as she has to accelerate to chase him.

The streets get narrower, the turns tighter, as they head downtown. Game on.]

[Sorry dude, but she's not going to just chase you, here. This is her territory and you're playing a game she knows very well.

She dashes past the street he turns down and follows the next curve. There's an alley she cuts down several yards later that gives her a ramp to get to the roofs of the shops and apartments.

The buildings here aren't close enough yet to make a good running ground, but with her momentum she can easily leap from roof to roof, working her way steadily back to where she knows Kaneda will inevitably head.]
