[ cars cars cars cars!!! anyway the first struggle is ace cosplaying as nebula from guardians of the galaxy and trying to figure out how to open a car door. ]
So how's this work? [ knocks on the glass like let me in ]
Well, it can't be that hard if all those guys are doing it.
[ they said they were going to race each other but i think they will just crash each other. anyway, ace is opening his own car door after seeing her go. wow!
[ well by pressing all the buttons eventually ace will also turn on the car. perfect. he has figured it out. the wheel part is obvious, so now it's just about the going! ]
[she's never seen a boat. he's correct. anyway, you know in cartoons where it's like someone hits a button and it takes a second for the thing to move but then it just rockets off and there's a cloud of smoke left behind?
Nimona?! [ he doesn't know if he should be laughing or concerned so he kind of does both here. then he finally finds the gas pedal on his own car and he has other things to worry about ] Wait, which one's the break--
[ it's fine this means they can catch up and race! it's totally fine as they scream at each other through their open windows. how are they not going to die doing this ]
no, it's fine, he can probably hear her laughing at top volume as she peels out, so he doesn't have to be concerned. probably.
i have no idea how she manages to not die while doing this. but hey! she shouts trash talk out the window as they scream their way around the track, but all of it is garbled and mostly just hollering like a lunatic as she has the time of her life.]
[ if she's not worried then he is probably going to be laughing alongside her because he is also an idiot who loves WHEE GO FAST DANGER.
also, i've decided they are crashing these cars into each other, because this seems inevitable. ace stumbles out uninjured because i refuse to deal with saturday injuries ]
I figured out the break too late, I think! You good?
[did you know that in the graphic novel every time nimona turns into something else her original body explodes
that's not how it works here but i think it's funny. anyway she climbs out of her own totally wrecked car with a grin that's so big it nearly splits her face in two, and no injuries, because same. she hops over to him.]
Yeah, I'm good. I totally won. [they crashed into each other but ok] You good?
You had a head start, it doesn't count. [ you both crashed. he holds out a hand for a high five though ] Great! Even the crashing's different than a shipwreck. That was way more fun than I thought it would be.
[she absolutely gives him a high five as fast as humanly possible she'll NEVER leave a bro hanging]
Right? I stole a car once and had a bunch of knights chasing me like losers. It's always fun. [she bumps him with her shoulder.] You wanna go get celebratory food?
Knights were chasing you? Did they have cars, too? [ he can't like. imagine the dichotomy of cars and knights even though he is in pirate world with robots. also :D at food ] You know it! I'd never say no to celebratory food.
Apparently not! Look, I've got bright pink hair and they put up a wanted poster for me and people still didn't know it was me. Brains aren't a priority in the Kingdom.
Yeah, I've seen all kinds of hair color. And fur color, too, I guess? But pink-- there's a pretty famous pirate with pink hair that's been on the seas as long as Pops has.

Okay, maybe it's not like sailing.
no subject
I can promise you it is nothing like sailing so good luck! [slaps her hand on the horn. honk.] Uhhh.
[she should probably not be a cat. she transforms back to a girl, and with a lot of trouble, turns on the car? yes. step one achieved.]
