Aaah that's super-kind but Ibuki's taken enough charity since she got here. She'll manage this herself this time.

[She'll muddle through somehow either way. All part of the adventure!

And oh Nagisa now you've done it, now you've got Ibuki all hyped up.]

Day of Awesomeness, woo! Where do we even start with such an auspicious day? And how hyped is Ibuki that she's using words like auspicious!

You know the best way to start the day. With the most exciting thing. Then everything else would be amazing in comparison.

[Seemed logical to him anyway, he was going to go with that.]

You think? I don't know, Ibuki thinks that might just mean everything else sucks in comparison. Gotta warm up before we hype out, you know?

[Which means they need something fun but tame...or tameish at least. How tame means bumper cars is anyone's guess but that's where she's headed.]

Ooh! Or we can feed our need for speed right here!

You mean the bumper cars.

[Nagisa didn't mind, he would find anything fun at this point considering.]

Although if there are people who don't want to be bumped, what do we do?

If they don't wanna get bumped, they need to get off the road.

["Considerate driving" isn't really in Ibuki's dictionary.]

Though if someone's picking on someone else, we can always ride in to the rescue. We'd be the heroes this ride deserves.

Yes! There are always people like that on those kind of things. We will just bump that person away like... Um... Super heroes or something.

[He paused for a moment.]

Except without the silly costumes and capes.

Aww. A cape would be so cool, though.

[How else would anyone even know they're heroes?]

We need to make sure we pick the right car, then. Something that lets everyone know not to mess with us unless they want a bumping they'll never forget.

But wouldn't it get in the way if the wind changed direction?

[He paused as he walked.]

They all look the same.

Not if you know how to pin it.

[Besides. That part could be fun too, not that she'll admit it.

And oh Nagisa, so naive. Ibuki will clearly have to get her education on.]

Sure, that might be true at first glance. But we'll know when we've found the one for us.

[Let her just survey them all and...oh! Grabbing his hand because she's spotted the perfect thing.]

See? This one looks like a sideways keyboard so it has to be the one for us.

[It has black and white stripes. That's enough for Ibuki's imagination.]

[Well...when one pays close attention it would look like it could be a keyboard, but he also thought it could look like a zebra as well. Zebras were always fun.]

Keyboard wearing zebra. That woud be the most musical animal car of all.

See? There is nothing that isn't awesome about this car. Keyboard-zebra-chan, we choose you!

[And in she hops, making sure there's room for Nagisa. Not that she should probably be driving but too late, she's in now. KZ-chan is in dangerous hands...for everyone else at least.]

Now onwards. For great justice!

Great bumping justice!

[He raised his hands slightly since he wasn't driving he could do such a thing. As soon as he lowered his arms down he was on the look out for the drivers and seeing what they are doing.]

i think that guy needs a justice bump.

[He might rethink that hands raised position once he actually gets a taste of Ibuki's driving. See, she drives a little like she would in a video game and while there's only so much damage she can do, she has a few swerves and near misses as she gets a feel for the steering.]

Noted. Go forth, KZ-chan, and unleash your bump of justice!

[That is not sparkling, thank you very much.

But she can see the guy cornering another driver and for that it's pedal to the metal, full speed ahead until they manage to connect - not as direct a hit as she might have liked, but good enough.]

The great justice team does not tolerate bump-related bullying!

[Nagisa had been quick to hold onto the front, knowing that odds are if he didn't he probably could have gone flying because what are wearing seatbelts in these things?

When the bump connected he was happy to cheer slightly.]

Or bullying in general, but today it's for bumper car bullying. Bullying is a big no, no!

Damn right! We're a total after-school special right here!

[Even if they appear to have picked up a grudge-bumper now. Ibuki is quite happy to go into bump-to-bump contact and especially if it means they can't pick on anyone else.

Quite what this after-school special would be is an interesting question...]

[He already figured Ibuki said unusual things and usually just let them past, but this one he was curious to know what exactly she was thinking.]

What would the after school special be anyway? Also looks like he is coming back for more.

Bump not lest ye be bumped in turn.

[That's not much of an after school special and nor does it make much sense, but that's never stopped Ibuki before.

Besides. She's going to make damn sure this guy learns a lesson about taking them on.]

That or bullies always get what's coming to them. Which in this case is bumping goodness.

[Or badness, because Ibuki's aiming to pin, just as this guy had pinned someone else.]

If we do to him what he does to others, does that make us worse or better than him?

[Which was a question he wondered. If you do the same thing for good purposes did it really make one any better.]

I mean it's for good, but still.

Well. We wouldn't be doing it if he hadn't been so mean. So we don't need to feel guilty about it.

[At least that's how Ibuki's justifying it to herself. Besides, it's all in good fun at least in her opinion.]

You bring up a good point. We would have never of done it otherwise.

[At least he'll accept it anyway. it was okay before the next bump. He was making sure to keep steady.]

We've been hit, captain. By some unseen force to the left.

Mrr. We'll just see about that.

[She swings the cart around, trying to make a gap even as the unseen force seems pretty persistent.]

Relent, foul attacker! The wrath of the warriors of justice will not spare you!

[This, now, is war and Ibuki won't fall quietly.]

[Nagisa is just ging to grip the front lightly. Sure he is thankfully wearing a seatbelt, but still... bumps can move a person. But he was going to be a good friend and keep an eye out at the same time.]

We shall not surrender. We will fight till the end.

[Ibuki does intend to do just that - and she does. Except that the "end" has more to do with their opponents being flagged to return and let someone else on the ride.

Still, never let it be said that Ibuki will fail to celebrate a victory.]

Aha! Clearly the forces of justice are on our side! As they should be.

Heroes always beat the bad guys.

[That was at least a victory in there books, but he wondered how long it would be because they were bumped. Looking behind him, he was making sure they were clear.]

No one seems to be trying to get us from behind, but there are many in front.

Well that's fine! We can just do a victory lap and if anyone tries to stop us, well.

[Well then it's provocation and they can retaliate without feeling guilty.]
