[scooptimistic]

Sorry, sorry! The steering wheel got away from me and then it got all dark!

[ Flapping a hand. ]

No harm done!

[reverso]

[Well. She seems fine? Verso cautiously allows the tension to unspool from him.]

Got away from you? Was something wrong with the kart?

[Clearly she can’t be so bad a driver to immediately crash into the wall .5 seconds in right-]

[scooptimistic]

Clearly! Thank goodness it stopped when it did!

[ No. This is all Maya's fault. ]

[reverso]

[Yeah thank goodness-]

You mean thank goodness there were a pile of tires there and not a wall.

[Mental wheeze. It sure didn't look like it stopped.]

Are you still feeling up to another go, or...?

[He'd get it if not.]

[scooptimistic]

Of course I am! I have to defeat you in righteous go-kart combat!!

[ WE GOTTA. ]

[reverso]

Uh-huh. Well, try to make it at least one lap this time!

[She seems fine so it's probably okay. The staff members have finally run up to check on them, and Verso explains that it was likely a problem with the kart itself. They look momentarily dubious, but ultimately nod, and say they'll check it out — in the meantime, they'll sort them another kart and reset the race.

So, slight timeskip! Here they are again! Seated in the go-karts and about to start!!]

Remember: no crashing!

[scooptimistic]

Got it!!

[ And they're off!

To her credit, Maya does get at least halfway through a lap before she.

Crashes.

Gloriously. ]

[reverso]

[At least it's gloriously.

Did she crash into more tires again—?]

[scooptimistic]

[ She did not. But she managed to flip the car??

She's fine. Sincerely, she's fine-- ]

[reverso]

[IS SHE THO-

Second verse, same as the first. Except Verso is VERY MUCH running over to her once he's out of his vehicle, trying to prop hers back up. Carefully, assuming she isn't MANGLED in there-]

Maya!!

[GIRL WHY THIS]

[scooptimistic]

[ Truly, she is once again... miraculously unscathed.

Though she is stuck in there, so thanks for righting that vehicle. ]

Oof--! Maybe I'm rusty...

[reverso]

[And once again, the staff can be seen scrambling panickedly in the background.

Up goes the vehicle, and he's gonig to help her out anyway.]

Are you sure that's just it? Maybe... go-karting isn't really your thing.

[scooptimistic]

Oh, come on--I'm fine! Third time's the charm!

[ Except a staff member, volunteered by their peers, is slowly coming over to politely ask Maya to leave the track. She understands, surely. ]
