[ you spy with your little eye someone who isn't being quite as stealthy as they think they are. a tall, dark figure (maybe handsome?? we just don't know), loitering in alleyways, behind buildings, up on rooftops... it's hecka creepy. if you approach fast enough, zero doesn't run away!

and sometimes, they even initiate conversation., with things like, ] Wanna go kill stuff?

[ ...yep. ]

[ there's a limit on how hard zero can accelerate. they keep pushing it to that point, however, forcing the engine to work harder in an attempt to take the lead.

hearing another bike coming up right behind them, zero turns their head just enough to see that it's the same kid that was staring at them. for a moment they just look, then the push on, even harder, making a violently sharp turn around the next bend of the track. ]

[Crap, couldn't this thing go any faster? What's the use of him trying to beat someone in a race if there was a cap on the speed?

There was a low sound of irritation at the back of his throat as Zero whipped around the track, trying to push the already stressed machine to somehow make it around them. He was going fast enough that as he went around the same bend, his body became dangerously close to the ground, threatening to topple over if he wasn't careful. Luckily, he was upright enough by the time he catches sight of Zero again, but the sight ahead of them almost had him slam his brakes.

Who puts a ramp like THAT in a racing track?!]

[ it looks like a ramp that by the standards of physics, shouldn't exist, or exist and feasibly expect players to make it through them.

but in a game, physics don't have to be obeyed to the letter.

zero doesn't know this, but they don't care. the ramp is the only thing there, so they have to get through it. without slowing down they go onto the ramp, which leads into an enormous jump over a chasm. maximum speed is almost certainly needed to make the jump. ]

[Well, damn. Whoever this weird helmeted guy was, they had some serious balls. Not that Yusuke was about to let himself be cowed by a stupid ramp, as impossible or deadly as it seemed.

His hand twists hard on the accelerator, delivering a burst of speed that was enough to gun across the gap Zero had left and send himself barreling up and over the edge. As intimating as it was earlier, the moment he was rocketing through the air, the void of nothingness below him and the other side of the track far off... it was thrilling. Exhilarating, even.

So of course he had to let some of that giddiness out.]

WHOO HOO!

[His bike dipped forward in the air, and, using it's momentum, he maneuvered it into a roll, nearly flying off the vehicle but settling back down onto it with a dramatic slam when it somehow, miraculously, landed on the other side. The rush was so much, he all but forgotten the need to beat Zero from earlier.]

[ zero slams the accelerator as soon as they hit the ground again, but they hear other bikes around them and don't even think about slowing down.

especially not with that kid yelling. urgh. ignoring the urge to look back over their shoulder zero presses forward, leaning hard into the next bend. the track involves another three jumps, a big drop, and too many barrels.

zero is more than ready for it. ]
