Pre-race

Arisu walked towards her kart with a non-standard issue helmet. It was her own customized helmet, complete with bunny ears, because she liked it that way. Revving the engines as soon as the crew said it was good to go, the 8th Squad Captain was ready to burn some rubber on the track.

Lap: 1/5
Segment: 1/3

Arisu was off to a slow start. The captain would reason that the newer Go-Karts were much more complex, but the models haven't really changed much since then. She wasn't wearing her captain's haori since it might get caught in the wheels, but she still had to sit under most of her hakama. The first few turns were also normal ones, with no attempts at drifting.

OOC: "Segment" is only something I personally want to keep track of. It tells me how far I am in a lap.

Nicaro Hizaki

As Nicaro walks in, he noticed the race has started without him "Oh, Crap!" He runs at full speed to his Kart and jumps in.

Lap: 1/5
Segment: 1/3

As he was in a rush, he realizes that he forgot his googlies back at the waiting room. He decides to forget about them and starts the race. He starts slow but slowly begins to catch up to his opponent's Kart, not knowing who it was or how good he/she was.

Segment sounds like a good idea so i'll keep track of it to.

Segment: 1.5/3

Arisu groaned inwardly. She was bumping the curbs more than turning the curves. She would then complain that karts weren't this disobedient back then. As if karts were even capable of possessing their own wills.

As Nicaro tries to speed up to catch his opponent, his Kart was getting harder to control. He ends up making a wide turn to stay safe, but loses distance from his opponent.

Arisu was relieved. It seemed that her opponent was even a worse driver than she was - not that she would ever admit that she was a bad driver. Steeling her nerves, she already had a gist of how her kart drives. Aiming for a sharp turn at the U-turn, Arisu stepped expertly on the brakes for the perfect drift. Breezing through the rest of the lap, She maintained her lead.

Nicaro Hizaki

Lap: 1/5
Segment: 3/3

As Nicaro regains control of his cart, he begins to get used to the swerves and slowly learns to drift. He sees his opponent drift around the sharp U-Turn, he tries himself but ends up making a wide turn, but not as wide as he feared he might have done. He finishes the lap with ease, not to far from his opponent.

Arisu stepped on the gas, and whipped out her zanpakuto, Shirousagi.

"Yume o miru."

Tweaking the shikai to accommodate her kart, the 8th Squad Captain was ready to burn someone else' rubber - her opponent for instance. One bump would tear the other person's car for sure. That was if he or she could even match her speed.

Nicaro speeds up on the straightaway and tightens the gap between him and his opponent.

- Arisu Subarashi -

Lap: 2/5
Segment: 1.5/3

Arisu hits the brakes, aiming for the opponent's vehicle. If she hits, she'll hopefully tear through the other person's kart, otherwise, she'll just be behind.

Nicaro Hizaki

Lap: 2/5
Segment: 2/3

He reacts just in time and successfully swerves around her, Holy Jesus! I could have lost the whole race if I hit him just now! He takes a purple ring out of his pocket and puts it on, This should protect me if she hits me. Purple mist molds around his bumpers, protecting him from a certain amount of hits. He continues around the turns, staying close to the center.

Lap: 2/5
Segment: 2.5/3

Arisu missed the hit when the other kart successfully evades her blatant interference. The 8th Squad Captain wanted to facepalm herself, but doing so would put her in a worse position than she already was in. She was already behind enough as it is.

Meanwhile the opponent had conjured some kind of purple covering around his kart. Arisu wouldn't be trying the same trick twice for a while though. Catching up was top priority.

Smiles and thinks, well if that's how you want to play... He creates shadow spikes and throws them onto the road, can't race if your tires are flat.

Lap: 3/5

The 8th Squad Captain smirked. If there was anything she was good at, it was crashing into stuff - deliberately sometimes. Shirousagi, her zanpakuto, provided the only protection and weapon she needed for crashes. In fact, if it was visible to the human eye (since it comprised mainly of very dense spiritual particles), Arisu and her kart would shimmer like a bunny dipped in glitter.

Driving straight through the spikes, Arisu zoomed. If the spikes were made of tougher material, she'd just bump over them, otherwise they'd just be crushed under reishi-coated wheels.

Thinks to himself, looks like that didn't slow her down. He creates a balls of light in his hand and tosses them onto the road, if she runs into those, she won't be able to see anything and crash on the turns...

Arisu sees the other racer toss balls of what seemed to be light. She tried her best to avoid them, but still fell or rather drove in into her opponents trap. The difficulty in maneuvering took a toll on her speed, which only made her fall farther behind her opponent.

Lap: 3/5
Segment: 2/3

Arisu raced past the other racer who seemed to be asleep. No fancy tricks for now, she was building up her stamina.

Arisu put the pedal to the metal. She chuckled as a sudden thought flashed across her head.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

As she turned the corner on the way to the start line, the race track seemed to bend and twist itself. The 8th Squad Captain did no effort to change direction though since, it also seemed that the track righted itself as she wheeled on it. No problem there. A pattern had already started forming on her back. Upon closer inspection, they spelled out the words that just popped into her mind.
