[What's faster than a Scout on his feet? A Scout on roller skates! Who knows where he got them or what possessed him to try them. But right now he's zipping through the streets at crazy speeds, grinning like a maniac. He's dodging pedestrians, cars, obstacles - for the most part

-Fluttering just slightly above.-

You remind me a lot of Cirno, now that I think about it...

[freakinblur]

[Scout shakes his head clear after bounding off that car. He looks around, and then finally up.]

Oh, hey. Who's Cirno?

[midnight_chorus]

She's a fairy who doesn't look where she's going.

[freakinblur]

I'm lookin' where I'm goin'! The brakes on these things are just lousy.

[midnight_chorus]

She makes excuses, too.

[freakinblur]

It ain't an excuse! Have ya seen these things? [He shows off that little knob on the front of the skate.] How's that supposed ta stop ya when movin' at any worthwhile speed?

[midnight_chorus]

When that doesn't work, you make something else!

[freakinblur]

'Zactly! I gotta get... something. I dunno. That's Engie's job usually. I'll think 'a somethin'.

[midnight_chorus]

Why not make a bigger break?

[freakinblur]

I think they'd get in tha way of movin' then. I'd make a turn an' trip right over 'em.

[midnight_chorus]

More excuses~

[freakinblur]

That ain't an excuse, it's tha truth! I'd rather keep havin' ta run into shit than have somethin' slowin' me down the whole time.

[midnight_chorus]

Well if you can't figure it out, you're free to keep making excuses.

[freakinblur]

I'll figure it out, sister, you just wait! An' who're you anyway, thinkin' ya know everything?

[midnight_chorus]

I'm the Queen of the Night! Mystia Lorelei, Wonder of the Night Sparrow!

[freakinblur]

...Right. So "Mystia" then? I'm Scout, professional ass-kicker an' guy who knows what the hell he's doin' here.
