CLOSED POST ♞ DING DONG A BODY HAS BEEN FOUND

[optimistical]

WHO: The Dangan crew!
WHERE: The poor empty and desolated apartment that Naegi calls home
WHEN: ~April 3
WHAT: Enough talk about murders and guilt and whatnot. Let's actually murder each other with Mario Kart (and other fun things!)
WARNINGS: Someone's probably going to get strangled with a controller wire

[ naegi's place isn't the... most luxurious looking place. in the dining room, there a really nice oak dining table (it's the most valuable thing that daisuke and naegi own - they'll die for it) and some chairs (there's a random beanbag chair???) and in the living room, there are easels and... yeah, that's about it. the living room is the destinated section of the apartment whenever naegi have to work on some art projects that can't be done in his room and while it's normally messy this time of the year (holy shit final projects and portfolios and personal projects in which he wants to die), he tidied up for the occasion, piling up his canvases and sketchbooks in the corner where no one can trip on them. ]

[ in addition, he's tried to at least make the place look presentable or more welcoming than a nearly empty place! he has gotten snacks! he has moved his crummy but still somewhat decent tv to the living room! he has his insanely old M64 console out to use on the tv! he begged daisuke to please take the crane out somewhere else so it doesn't try to kill everyone while they're over! it's not that bad! ]

[ just don't expect a nice sofa or something to lay down on. naegi and daisuke aren't rich enough for that ]

[ going straight for the hard one, huh? well, naegi is okay with that! he may not have played marco kart in years but he's played enough as a kid to probably get right back into it ]

Good luck, Byakuya.

[ and the race will start! how will this go?? i am more than happy to have naegi fall off the road a bunch of times because of BULLSHIT REASONS like people bumping into him and byakuya can win or naegi can win through BULLSHIT REASONS such as bullet bill and all that nonsense ]

[falsepretentious]

Thank you. I don't think that I need to say the same to you.

[He says teasingly and then gets to playing! He does seem to be fairly proficient despite not being a regular player- but how about we go with Naegi falling off a bunch of times and then scoring the win at the last second through a Bullshit Bill??]

[optimistical]

[ a bullshit bill at the last second sounds pretty good! naegi will do his best to play but he's rustier than he thought. he thought he could just get back into it but nope, at the first turn, he immediately starts getting dangerously close to the edge ]

W-Whoa whoa, wait--!

[ he says as if the game will somehow take mercy on him and not have him fall over but he falls and watches his kart fall off into the darkness. precious seconds go by as he's brought back onto the track and other go-karters pass him. expect this to happen a few more times ]

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya just keeps on playing as normally, maybe sending an occasional shell his way whenever they're nearby.]

There is no such thing as waiting on the racetrack! The strong race onwards, and the weak get left behind!

[He smirks proudly as he snakes his way through the racers to the top three. Soon, very soon, he's sure that he'll seize victory!]

[optimistical]

[ aaaaaaa he didn't expect for byakuya to be such a good racer! he knows that byakuya said he played this before but seriously?! c'mon! with how many times naegi falls off the tracks, he easily comes in near last place, occasionally making it up to sixth place with a few shells. he was going to lose all hope since this is the last lap but then he gets an item box and it screams "don't lose hope!" at him with a bullet bill. everything is restored and he uses it immediately, zooming past everyone and occasionally hitting a few go-karters in front of him. if byakuya is unlucky enough, naegi will even hit him too without any remorse ]<

Ahaha, sorry, Byakuya.

[ he sounds a little cheeky as he says this because :))))))) ]

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya remained proud and overconfident as his towering monster dog of a character raced forward. But before he could gloat further, his expression turned to one of frustration as he found himself suddenly struck by a Truth Bullet Bill.]

What?! Come on! [He says as he quickly tries to get his racer back going! But he's fallen too far behind Naegi...] You got lucky...

[The longer he lets that sentence hang in the air, the more obvious that statement's effect is. Is this his talent at work?!]

[optimistical]

[ his good luck might not help him with anything useful in life but it sure can help him play one mean and very unfair game of marco kart. he has a goofy smile on his face as he gets through the finish line and while he's not first, he's not dead last and that's what matters ]

I guess my good luck kicked in. [ he's a little sheepish as he says this, scratching his cheek. he doesn't really know if that was his talent or it was just a one-time thing but it's nice that it happened ] Do you want to try another round?

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya grips the controller with a renewed sense of determination as he responds to that challenge.]

Absolutely I do. [Still, despite his frustrations with that loss, he manages to smirk.] Well done on besting me in that game. But let's see if we can test the limits of your luck!
