Trash Bin

"Uh-huh, I suppose that makes it a bit better. I can see the appeal of customization." the girl went on to say. She was a person who was quite taken with the way things looked particularly herself, so she could see how one would like to change the look of the vehicles they used in a game. Moving right along it seemed that the young Flame Queen was finally trying to do something with herself, but the purple haired girl agreed it'd come a bit too late. Beyond that, this girl appeared to be in worse condition than she had been before. Regardless of this, the Dream Queen would be about as fair as she could be. "Technically speaking the team has all the members it needs to survive. And we work well together so it's about as perfect as we need it to be." she said in an unbiased tone. "I agree with Hayato-kun though, if you want to join up, you're going to have to prove you mean it. To be honest, you don't look like you're capable of much now... even after your self actualization." the purple haired girl mentioned with a single push of that hair out of her face only to have it fall back into place.

Her resolve was firm among other things, "I accept any challenge you've got." she grinned up at the pair of friends. She revved her ATs causing sparks to fly from the wheels, it was a sign that her fire hadn't been put out yet. Despite having such confidence, the uneasy feeling came back to the pit of her stomach. Ignoring the feeling she spoke with valor, "So what's the name of the game?"

"Ugh!" the Blast King grunted as he removed himself from the couch. As per usual, he had been enjoying his game in nothing more than a pair of boxers and a t-shirt, so he took a few moments to himself for the sake of donning proper clothes. Once he was dressed and wearing his Regalia, he rolled toward a very specific window amongs the panoramic set, which he then opened before addressing the Flame Queen again. "We're an E-Class team now, so ya' gotta at least be able to run Hurdle. You know the other tall building next door to this place? That's on the other side of us now. We're going down the Skytree, around it, over to that building, and up to the top. First one on the roof wins, if ya' can manage to not splatter on the ground after we drop from here. I'll give ya' a hint... use the side of the building."

The Dream Queen waited patiently for the Blast King to get dressed. She like everyone else, knew how he enjoyed his gaming time. She almost felt bad for the interruption of it, but she had no interest in the particular race, other than confirming her own theory that the small girl was somehow worse than she had been before. "Hm, I suppose it would be for the best if I tagged along for posterity's sake. I'll keep an eye on the race, it should be at least a little amusing." she said as she walked towards the window as well. There was an assumption being made here, that the small girl would have a problem with the way this race was being run. But, she'd leave this for Hayato and watch its progress.

She waited for Hayato to get his cothing, and as if the uneasy feeling were venom, it began to spread through her whole body causing her to shiver for a moment. Her will was beginning to break as she rode over and looked out the window. Though she had never feared heights before, she somehow felt less confident about the situation. She shook the thought off, remembering that she was stronger since the last time and realized her past mistakes. She swallowed hard keeping a playful grin on her face, "Even I know the basics, ready when you are." She spoke to the pair.

"Pfft! My races are never just amusing. It's fine to admit that you wanna see something really exciting," he said in passing to Mizuki while waving his left hand around overhead. With that stated, he turned back around to the open window. "No use waitin' around. Go!" With this announcement, Hayato leaped through the window and began his descent toward the ground. Due to the precise location of this window, any sort of leap would result in a doomed fall to the ground itself, but Hayato was more than prepared for this first obstacle. With his feet forward, he used his Regalia to create an explosion directly beneath his ATs, launching him backwards and into the lattice-style support structure of the Skytree. With this trick, he was easily able to begin riding downward instead of simply free-falling, and thus, he had more control over both his run and his life. He began racing while backwards when he did this as well, if for no other reason than to see how the Flame Queen would overcome the first obstacle of this course. "Oi, Mizu! Need a bomb?"

[Apollymi]

The Dream Queen also approached the window when the start was yelled. But unlike the younger member of this group, she fully understood that there was a sheer drop from the window, she prepared to deal with it but as she launched herself from the window she was asked by the Blast King if she'd like a bomb. She seemed at least a little thoughtful if only for a moment. "I don't really need anything, I'll take one... Hayato-kun." she offered allowing herself to fall a little bit while keeping an eye on the young Flame Queen. If she was unable to pass this first test, she'd either need to be saved or she'd find herself falling to her death trying to prove a point. Harsh as she might be on her exterior the Dream Queen would probably not allow a young child's death just to prove a point.
