[ Looks like Rupert and Claude are gambling again!
10. You open the door and find yourself standing on a seemingly endless road of rainbow loops around in dazzling colors with no barriers in sight. It’s live and die gloriously on the Rainbow Road out here, binches. A huge variety of vehicles are lined up: go-karts, bikes, pick-up trucks, a very confused horse, motorcycles, etc. It seems like someone making this might not be super familiar with your concept here, but is trying hard. As you start driving around it, you can race your fellows in good sport (or bad sport) - there’s friendly signage posted to see how many laps you’ve done, and countdown timers, all the things you’d expect. Unfortunately you’ll find each one of these vehicles is increasingly hard to control, and it might just send you careening off the edge and into endless space … and down … and down … it seems there’s no one to fish you out of it. You get the feeling that you will have to race to get out of here. If you fall, you will fall for an exceedingly long time, feeling as though someone is laughing at you, before you find yourself back in the hallway, disoriented and sore, as if you've just been in an accident - although there is no physical injury on you. If you somehow manage to win your race without falling, you will find yourself out in the hallway again, a little disoriented but vaguely prideful. If you lose your race without falling, you find yourself out in the hallway again, disoriented and motion sick. Only four minutes have passed.

Claude just stares at the horse. ]
Do you know how to drive?
no subject
[staring at the track with a frown.]
I'm guessing that's the same for you, huh?
no subject
But it seems like we have another game on our hands.
no subject
[he also glances at this poor horse.]
I'd ask if you want to draw straws, but I'm fresh out.
no subject
[ He heads over to the motorcycle. Gets on.
Tries not to fall over. ]
no subject
...Maybe we can switch halfway there? I feel kind of bad.
[how]
no subject
[ at least this is a cartoon bike so there's just an on button
The downside is that as soon as he presses it tHE BIKE ZOOMS ]
WAIT!!
no subject
[he rushes after him on the horse that is definitely not going to be able to keep up with a motorcycle]
no subject
In any case, the motorcycle is very clearly going straight for the edge of the rainbow road, so Claude tries to try to change course... ]
This was a bad idea!
no subject
[trying to chase after him on this horse while not getting that close to the edge himself]
no subject
[ WELL HE'S NOT ABOUT TO FALL TO HIS DEATH SO HE JUST
jumps off the bike before it goes over the edge ]
no subject
...You wanna get on?
[that is not how this works]
no subject
I can't help but notice you come out ahead whenever we play a game.
no subject
no subject
[ He's watching you.
In any case, he will stand next to the horse. ]
I guess we can teamwork our way out of this?
no subject
[a small pause.]
I guess you can take the horse and I can - walk? Walking is definitely safer than what you were doing a second ago.
no subject
no subject
[rupert your paranoia]
no subject
I suppose you have a point.
I don't mind getting a run in, in that case. You look rather dashing on the horse.
no subject
no subject
[ looks up at him ]
no subject
he gets off the horse]
All yours.
no subject
[ i love you rupert
claude will get on the horse ]
Count of three?
no subject
Sure. One... Two... Three!
[and then he starts running! he is fairly speedy, even though the horse will definitely be faster since it is a horse.]
no subject
don't worry too much Rupert, because the horse... Also starts to veer... Toward the edge. ]
