[ there he goes.

waits. ]

Welcome back.

You aren't wearing the wheel shoes.

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

[ the wheel shoes in the snolar system. ]

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

Two things we could correct super fast if you wanted.

[ join him join him join him ]

[ he....

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

[ 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.

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

I don't think I've ever skated.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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 ]

[ 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.

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. ]

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.

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.

... 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. ]

[ 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.

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

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. ]

... 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. ]

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

[ maybe he should ask kazuki ]

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

I suppose that's true.

[ ominous side-eye ]

What kind of music do you like?

...

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

Kazuki played some 'rock' for me. It was loud. Not bad, but really loud.

[ he stood on the stage right next to someone playing (it was loud) ]

Loud's... yeah. It is kinda loud. He looks like the kind of guy who would love rock, huh?
