[ 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.

[murdergate]

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) ]

[roseoftexas]

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

[murdergate]

He plays guitar--[ my not-nephew, pride is not the word i'm looking for]--he's a musician. So, it makes sense.

[roseoftexas]

[ he plays those guitars.... (riff noises) ]

Think he wants to go pro with it. It's a pretty tough industry to make it in, but-- he definitely seems determined.
