[ They just go putputputputput--

Though Maya lets out a whoop, anyway. It's still fun, after all! ]

[irreversal]

[ That's the spirit! Just wait until they hit some kind of gentle, pastoral downslope... then things will get really exciting. ]

So— get any more surprise confessions this week?

[scooptimistic]

Just how popular do you think I am? Of course not!

[ Stop! Teasing her!! ]

[irreversal]

I happen to think you're pretty popular.

[ But fine. She'll stop!! ]

What a week it's been, huh?

[scooptimistic]

Understatement, but yeah. I think things have only gotten crazier.

[irreversal]

[ — hold on a moment, there's a slight hump in the road. They'll get some mad air time... or simply go over it very uneventfully. Whoo! ]

Do you want to talk about it? Or take your mind off it for a little bit?

[scooptimistic]

I'd like to spend some time with my gorgeous friend and live wild.

[ So. The latter. ]

[irreversal]

Oh?

[ She revs up. To go like, just the slightest bit faster. ]

Then let's be wild. Should we trespass somewhere? Vandalize something?

[scooptimistic]

I'm against property damage unless totally necessary, but trespassing sounds fun!

[ Girl. ]

[irreversal]

[ As it so happens, they seem to be riding through a neighborhood with some farm houses and also some rich-looking estates... ]

I kind of want to wander through some mansion's grounds. I mean, they probably wouldn't even notice us there, right?

[ them and the. entire camera crew— ]

[scooptimistic]

Well. We'd have to ask the camera crew to hide in the bushes, maybe? But I'm great at jumping fences!

[ So. There's that! ]

[irreversal]

[ ma'am... ]

Heh... You'll do anything to get the scoop, huh, Maya?

[ With that, Shoko takes a turn into what is clearly a neighborhood for rich people. They have their pick of mansions to choose from... but they'll have to find one with a fence they can actually jump— ]

[scooptimistic]

The scoop is the most important, after all!

... Oh, and look, this one's actually got a fence with decent footholds!

[ Huh! The mansion is big af too-- ]

[irreversal]

[ Somewhere, distantly, the crew are probably begging them not to literally trespass on private property. But who cares about those guys!

Shoko parks the scooter in front of that big af mansion. ]

Does it? I'll have to take your word for it. Will you show me how it's done?

[scooptimistic]

Sure thing.

[ And she easily puts one foot on the foothold, using that to bounce up and grab the top of the fence to pull herself up. ]

Just make sure you maintain your balance!

[irreversal]

Geh... I haven't done anything like this since I was in high school, you know...

[ Still, it's a blessing that Maya doesn't have them jumping a more elaborate fence, and despite everything Shoko does manage to follow suit! ]
