(D1 ME closed) A different world of dreams

[Susumu Sumiko]

Sumiko took a big drink of the bottle, then put it down before cuddling back into Senshuken.

"I did a little tinkering and trying today but I have a lot to learn so any lessons are welcome. I bet you'll win the whole thing" she grinned and gave the woman a kiss on the cheek "and a race too? Do you need any help with that? I can just stand there and look pretty of course but you know I'm smart enough to do more."

There was a pause before she added "as for before...well I kind of somewhat now run a wildlife sanctuary. Well will do soon, I just put the framework down to begin forming it."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Oh! With cute animals?" She kisses the top of her head. "Do you have any photos? I now kind of run a lab that works on construction of pistons. And yes, I do have photos of my babies." She jokes.

"I heard that a crew is necessary for the car race, but I'm not sure what that entails. Still you were the first person that came to mind."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"No animals yet. Likely not for at least a year, the enclosures have to be built and the appropriate animals need to be chosen. It's based on Longshore so it likely will be an aquarium with outdoor enclosures alongside it. I need to research other creatures on Spider worlds to see which would be safe to introduce to the sanctuary without damaging any ecosystems...ah, my apology I went off on a bit of a tangent" Sumiko laughed "your fault, making me feel comfortable and happy."

She laced her fingers with Senshu's as she added "I'm glad to be your first thought. Do you have any details on the cars at all? I met with some of your kin yesterday, one of them brought an entire army of people with them it seems so maybe they have some engineers among them also."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"I know a tiny bit about engineering and I know enough to not ask for assistance. It is never free unless there's a personal relationship with that person. Plus I'm not sure about any details regarding the race. Nothing at all except from it being scheduled. A Hiruma mentioned it during the presentation to the governess earlier today."

"Where is Longshore?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"That does make it more difficult to prepare for" Sumiko nodded "however with it being mentioned at the gathering I'd say you'll hear more in the coming days! Although if more get involved that might be more...awkward for my involvement with your team. I may need to do it quietly and out of view, but I'm small enough to do that" she laughed.

"Longshore? It's within the Spider system, a world we share with our friends in the Shark clan. Big marine world, very fertile and full of life. A perfect world for a sanctuary as it provides everything to help preserve life and even grow it. Lots of beaches, you'd love it" she playfully bumped shoulders with Shenshuken "as long as you don't go too far out into the ocean it'd be perfect swimsuit conditions."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Sharks?" She asks. "Or worse? Perhaps I could visit you one day. You would take a few days off and we would spend them on a beach. Sometimes with swimsuits, some others with nothing on. We would drink cocktails, chat idly and remember the night that we had our first drone duel."

She chuckles and looks at her in a way both apologetic and mischievous." Okay, okay. I wanted it to be a surprise. I admit that I do have a drone and I can't wait to face you, Lady Sumiko of the Susumu!"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Sharks are there, but I suspect there's far worse in those deep oceans. I know my kin are good at removing such threats but it's hard to remove everything from the ocean. Spider will make sure nothing bad happens when the visitors start coming, including yourself I hope" Sumiko grinned "I'll easily find time to go spend time with swimsuits and drinks with you! There are some very unique Spider blends that many in the empire have never tasted before."

There was a pause, before a sigh and a shake of the head.

"And there was me thinking I could get a headstart" she laughed "at least you can teach me in practical ways instead of simply by watching me. I'm not that good though so go easy on me ok?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Well, well..." She smirks. "We can chill here for a while and then just head out into the night, find the perfect spot and have the duel of all duels. If not for anything else, just for reasons of checking what you can do with a remote control in your hands. What do you think?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Duels at sunset where the legendary racer Bayushi Senshuken shows that talent is talent no matter if it's on 2 wheels, 4 wheels or even no wheels at all"? Sumiko laughed "that sounds fun though, I like the idea. I read that there's no more rain either so I'm sure there would be somewhere nearby that doesn't break the agreement of where you're allowed to fly drones."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

A smirk slowly forms on her face.

"I know just the place!"

She leans towards Sumi and lays a quick kiss on her lips before getting up. "I shall preperare my vessel for the duel of duels!"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Oh?" Sumiko said curiously as she also got up, moving to claim her clothes "let me quickly shower and we can race off right away! You can join me if your shower is big enough."

She grinned at the girl and slipped into the bathroom to go shower.

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Awwwww... This will take a while after all!" She exclaims and follows her into the bathroom in a playful rush to be close to her once again.

(do we wrap this up and continue in the duel thread?)

[Susumu Sumiko]

There was a laugh at that and Sumiko kicked the door shut after Senshuken got in.

"Don't worry I'm always thorough" she grinned as the two would spend longer than needed in the shower before they eventually would go out to duel..

(happy to wrap up and move to the duel thread!)

[Bayushi Senshuken]

(thank you for the scene!)
