leans in Ready to eat my dust?
Uh, your dust tastes like anti-freeze!
Alright then, let’s see who’s gonna be eating whose dust. takes off running
using her condition to her advantage, Dorothy begins zigzagging through the tunnels, effortlessly dodging ForestRhapsody's attempts to catch up. She sprints faster than ForestRhapsody could even comprehend. I think you underestimated me!
Oh, come on, your like… ONE FOOT ahead of me!
Dorothy continues to push herself to the limit, using every ounce of strength she has left to stay ahead of ForestRhapsody. Sweat drips from her brow as she rounds the final corner, still inches ahead of ForestRhapsody. Come on, just a little farther…
suddenly, he grabs her waist, then disintegrates into solid light, letting her keep going, giving up)
Dorothy gasps in surprise as ForestRhapsody disappears into light. She raises an eyebrow, confused, but quickly recovers. She grins triumphantly and crosses the finish line first, her slow and steady pace paying off. She takes a bow, basking in the applause of the crowd.
Bwa ha ha ha!!! That was close!
Dorothy walks over to ForestRhapsody, panting heavily. She extends her hand towards him. Well, you certainly made this race interesting. Care to shake on it?
Dorothy shakes ForestRhapsody's hand, still out of breath. She wipes sweat from her brow, trying to regain her composure. You know, it's not often I get to race against someone who can actually put up a fight. It was a challenge, but I'm glad I came out on top.
I was literally TRYING to lose, but I thought it would be fun to play with ya instead!
Dorothy chuckles softly, leaning against a nearby wall. She takes a deep breath, slowly regaining her energy.
You’re kinda cute, you know that?
Dorothy blushes slightly, looking away shyly. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and clears her throat. Thank you, I suppose. But enough about that. Let's talk about you. What brings you here today?
Well, I’m kinda homeless and starving…
Dorothy's eyes widen as she takes in ForestRhapsody's words. She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small wad of cash. Here, take this. It's not much, but it should help you get by for a little while. And if you need a place to stay, you're welcome to crash at my place. Just until you get back on your feet.
his whole face lights up with joy) Really? Man, thank you so much!
Dorothy smiles warmly at ForestRhapsody, reaching out to touch his shoulder gently. Don't mention it. We all need a little help sometimes. Just remember, next time we race, I'll be the one eating your dust.
I dunno if I can run any faster. Maybe try training?
Dorothy chuckles, giving ForestRhapsody a playful nudge. Training, huh? I think I'll take you up on that offer. But don't think you'll be able to beat me that easily. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. How about we start right now?
