[ the toes out would've clued him in too, char really said NO COUQUETTEISH TOES in this rink. ]

...

[ he'll just wait and then wave when nodd goes zooming past. ]

[murdergate]

Hi--

[ flying past him. wait like forty seconds for him to loop around, this time with the intention of braking.

which he has not fully figured out. he hugs the rink's perimeter and sloooooooooows. ]

Hey.

[roseoftexas]

[ there he goes.







waits. ]

Welcome back.

[murdergate]

You aren't wearing the wheel shoes.

[ pointing with hand holding neck of bottle. point, point at the man with the wrong shoes. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ the wheel shoes in the snolar system. ]

Mmmhm. I'm not on the skating rink either.

[murdergate]

Two things we could correct super fast if you wanted.

[ join him join him join him ]

[roseoftexas]

[ he....





breaks every rule of the skating rink and just hops the barrier onto the rink itself. ] One out of two ain't bad.

[murdergate]

[ d-doki? how fun. nodd lets go of the rink's side and rolls in an arc around shu. ]

It's close. But you're missing out.

[roseoftexas]

[ nodd is so thirsty and i deeply, deeply support him. ]

I don't think I've ever skated.

[murdergate]

[ all nodd wants is to fill the kiss meter.

but he wants it too much. ignore him. ]

Neither have I, but this is--

[ nodd trips over nothing. catches himself. skates another arc ]

--easy.

[roseoftexas]

[ nodd's ringtone is kiss kiss fall in love from ouran. ]

Yeah? You're selling it.

Although good save, you did make that part look easy.

[murdergate]

[ how'd u know ]

On both accounts--that's the booze, not the shoes. Ha. C'mon. We could race around. Go slow.

[ brakes again by sailing directly into the railing with an oof but he recovers quick ]

[roseoftexas]

[ he's...

doing something. maybe his best? shu is still just walking on the rink like an asshole though. ]

If you keep using the sides as a brake, you'll lose.

[murdergate]

Lose at what? And if you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

[ they wiggle ever so slightly. he uses the railing as a guide so he won't zoom past shu. the walker. ]

[roseoftexas]

The race.

[ that they're maybe having, unclear at this moment. ]

I think you're meant to use the toes of the skates to slow it down.

[murdergate]

Why would--that doesn't make any sense. I have to lean forward on my foot?

[ disgruntled. hobbling along the edge but fine. he'll try. he skates ahead a short distance and attempts to stop.

he succeeds in wobbling and breaking his fall with his knees. ]

...That can't be it.

[roseoftexas]

... I'm pretty sure it is, but you don't-- do it at full speed. It's meant to slowly slow things down not--

[ wham. crack. floor. ]

[murdergate]

[ nodd knee-walks to the edge of the rink, procuring leverage for lifting back onto his feet. ]

I'll be honest and tell you, I don't know how to do half-speed as a general option.

[roseoftexas]

... Somehow this doesn't surprise me, no.

[murdergate]

Would you wear the wheel shoes if I paid you? I have one of the mini-radio things.

[ the curse he doesn't know how to use against people bc ye old. all others... no comment. ]

[roseoftexas]

... I would probably avoid using the wheeled shoes either way, Nodd. [ hm, though. ] I forget to check Scrap all the time. What does the radio even do?

[ he asks the ye olde. ]

[murdergate]

You pick a song and it follows someone but all the songs I know wouldn't be fun.

[ maybe he should ask kazuki ]

[roseoftexas]

... Oh that's kinda funny. You could pick something up from the music store and get some ideas?

[murdergate]

I suppose that's true.

[ ominous side-eye ]

What kind of music do you like?

[roseoftexas]

...

I think I just end up listening to whatever my housemates are playing. Or the radio.
