SECOND LAP. [rocket frequency audio; video from lake of rage.]
[AUDIO; LOCKED TO ROCKETS]
So... How come we never do anything fun? I mean, I guess some of you guys think explosions are fun or whatever -- and they can be! -- but shouldn't there be like, I dunno, a company picnic, or a morale-boosting festival? Let's face it, guys, as a team we don't have the greatest track record of successes.
[NOT THAT SHE...MINDS THAT...]
Even some of you old, boring guys gotta enjoy something fun! Throw us younger members a bone, here.
[VIDEO; OPEN TO PUBLIC]
Alright guys, I've got a question. And I need you to think really hard on it! This is important.
[She stares into the camera for several seconds, brows furrowed to show the seriousness of the situation.]
...You can only eat one thing for the rest of your life. Go.
[...Yeah, she might be going a little bit stir-crazy in her tent, today.]

Then you can focus on the important stuff.

[The priorities with this one...]
What if you were limited to only one kinda stew? What would y'pick then?
video;
[Listen, he's sort of a parent, he has to think about stuff that's filling and easy to mix up and make, ok.]
Just one.... Kedjenou, I guess.
video;
It is. That's gotta be one of the grossest.
[BUT WHY MUST EVERYONE BE PRACTICAL ABOUT THIS...]
Hmmn... I know some of the foods people've come up with, but not that one!
video;
It's a stew my mom used to make all the time before I went to the DWMA. She brought the recipe with her when she moved to America. It's this spicy thing that you put in chicken or hen, sometimes banana leaves if you like that sorta thing. Everytime I have it, I remember being back home.
Maybe that's what I'll make for dinner tonight for me and Maka...
video;
[Now that she's apparently helped plan a dinner, she can get on with more important questions!]
What's the DWMA? Like a competition, or somethin'? Is Maka your girlfriend?
video; 1/2
video;
Don't tell her that, or else I'll probably be murdered. I'll totally name you as an accomplice, too, don't think I won't.
video;
Uh huh. How're you gonna say I was when you're all murdered an' stuff? And who would believe someone as adorable as I am helped out?
video;
And c'mon, cute adorable kids being secretly evil murderers or whatever is a thing in horror movies! Someone would believe it.
video;
You don't even know my name. How're you gonna make sure they get the right person?
video;
[...Crap but she does have a point there.]
I'll do research or something. Somebody around this place has to know your name.
video;
[DRAMATIC PAUSE.]
You could always ask me.
video;
video;
[And she does, with her free hand.]
video;
...I'm Kirikou Rung. Who're you?
video;
video;
video;
[The thought that she was anyone "deserving" of a fancy name was pretty funny, though.]
Not like I chose the name, anyway. But I like it!
video;
[Kirikou doesn't really seem to be doubting it, considering the wackiness that happens in his own home, but he's definitely getting interested.]

My Crobat's a pretty fast flyer, and Gogurt --
[VRRRROOOOOOOOMMMM from across the tent.]
...She basically thinks she's got an engine.
[Honk hoooonk.]
Still gotta find the right place for a track, though! These things've gotta be perfect, y'know?
video;
You're the expert, so what kind of place would be the best, do ya think?
video;
[She's prepared for this, actually. After being told that the Lake of Rage would be too mucky, she'd started thinking about what would be right.]
Gotta have a long enough stretch of dry land, right? It can have obstacles and turns, sure, but can't be too rough or someone could get hurt. I can go through a route and clean it up a little, maybe do a little trim... But I've also gotta make sure no one's traveling messes the thing up. Extra space for people to watch through the whole thing is a bonus, since y'don't got the big screens and things here. And I'd also like a space with clear skies! Then we could broadcast it from the air, and we can also hold a flying race. And if there's a good lake or something right there? Another race can go there for that crowd.
But from what I've seen, if you got the good conditions, you're not gonna get the right space, y'know? My buddy told me to try around a farm place, but we haven't even left to go there yet.
