Who: Sunshine and the discerning public
Where: The Park
When: Day 39 morning

[ There is surely a Live notification going off and the screen shows a smiling Pep hanging upside from one of the trees near the lake for reasons, I guess. He's also writing furiously in a notebook. He glances at the screen and then as if on cue, swings back up to right himself. ]

GOOD MORNING~, IDOLS~! This is your head boy Sunshine coming at you fast with another pep quiz! And this one's smoking~!

Today we're going to find out who's the hottest idol around.

[ A quick wink ]

Everyone gets three submissions. Just to make sure we cover our bases. And to keep things fun, you don't even have to number them. Now you could just let me know your choices. Orrrr for those shy~ violets out there, we also have the write-in option.

[ Gestures to a few notepads and pencils on a nearby bench ]

I'll pick the top three with the most votes and announce them during our next poll. So stop on by, do your civic duty and rack up those points. Good luck, everyone~!

PS schmoozing up votes is totally allowed.

(( OOC: Feel free to submit your anon answers here. Since written votes don't come with a face, you can assume they're anon. ))

[ Laughs ]

I meant for a vid scenario. But we can legit run too. I'm up for that!

Alright, let's do it. Loser buys lunch. I'll give you a couple days to win some points.

What are you talking about? I've already got like 750 counting this live. Just need to crash two more or run my own to snag that sweet rez skill.

But you're on.

Big talker! Well, if you've got the ante, we can take care of this right now if you want.

I'm on the speed unit, didn't you know?

So you're just admitting you were trying to stack the deck.

I'm giving you necessary information to keep things fair.

If you're hoping I'll beg for a handicap, keep dreaming. I didn't accept the challenge 'cause I thought you'd be slow.

As if I'd insult you like that. Let's do this thing.

Alright. From here to the hospital. Last one there's a rotten egg! Ready?

Go!

[ And going into a full sprint, which aside from his boundless energy, he learns there might actually be some honest skill to. An indication of training of some sort. ]

[She races off as well, and while she knows she can't keep up with him in a straight sprint, she doesn't try to--darting down alleys and cutting through buildings, generally using her (temporarily, at least) superior knowledge of the city's layout to shave off precious seconds to keep up]

Not bad, hotshot.

[she's running all-out to try and match his speed, but at least she isn't too breathless?]

[ Grinning like crazy when he catches her strategy but never losing momentum and taking his turn with an almost liquid shift of his body ]

You've got some slick moves yourself, Sir Knight.

[Hooks around an electric pole and vaults a mailbox to cut a corner in a way that doesn't quite seem humanly possible (at least without super balance powers, which, spoiler alert), passing juuust in front of him for another few strides at least]

Doing what I can to make sure you keep seeing 'em from behind! Think you can keep up this pace for long?

My dear, I think you're questioning my stamina.

[ Uses the adrenaline of that quip to give himself a little extra push, as he lowers his head a bit ]

I mean, I know you move fast, but can you make it through the long haul?

[streamlines as well, sliding through an empty corner storefront's open windows, but they're running out of corners and shortcuts and while she hates to admit it, she's pretty sure his top speed is just higher than hers... if only there were more obstacles]

It's called pacing~.

[ He cuts a sharper corner, practically using half-steps to gain some more ground. ]

Aka the key to a satisfying conclusion.

[a huff that's more than just breathing heavy, though she definitely has to work to keep up with his pace now]

And this ending's gonna satisfy?

I'll let you be the judge of that.

[ Oh, he's feeling it by now too. But it seems his body is used to being pushed past reasonable limits. ]

Good man.

[and then the rest of her efforts is put into forcing her legs to move faster, arms pumping and coat flaring behind her as they race down the straightaway to the hospital; stamina is her leading stat, not speed, but giving up is for losers, so]

[ He's giving it his all for this last sprint, probably puffing out his chest in front of him to get more air as he uses every step to launch him forward ]

[Doing the same, virtually leaping forward in an attempt to get more distance out of every step. And she does! However...it's not quite enough to match his longer stride, and despite her efforts, she can't close the gap before they make it to the hospital gates]

[ Slapping hand against the door, totally out of breath and possibly hacking up a lung but looking ABSOLUTELY ALIVE, eyes sparkling and his grin wider than ever ]

S-So. How was it...?

[Smacks the door a few beats later, a loud clack of metal against glass. She makes a disappointed sound (between trying to catch her breath) but her expression doesn't look particularly disappointed at all]

Damn, you actually know what you're doing!

Would it take away from the experience to hear I had no idea I could do that?

[ JUST LOADS OF ADRENALINE AND STUPID CONFIDENCE ]

But you've definitely got a built-in counter for speed. That could be really useful.
