(((((OOC: Been rather sick for awhile. Didn't necessarily feel like RPing much. I'm back now, but I have to go to sleep.)))))
Kamui grinned, "I'm listening. What do you have in mind?"
*****
Devil huffed, "Shows how much you know. You haven't the slightest clue as to how I see things."

"Well...here goes..." Glimmer took a deep breath, "I'd really like to beat Von Klamp on his own turf. At least even things out...show that he isn't as perfect as the Managers created him to be..."
~~
Kim sighed sarcastically before suddenly leaning in close. "Really now... because what I've been seeing is a sadistic speed freak who lives for the nihilistic pursuit of cheap thrills, fueled quite possibly by illegal additives at the expense of the everycar trying to earn their living."

"Hey, a challenge might not be a bad idea," said Kamui, "Although there'd be stakes on both sides, he's bound to accept. A challenge race is supposed to be honor-bound, last I checked."
"Wow, if I had a quarter everytime someone said they were perfect, I'd be rich by now," huffed Ebony as she passed them, "Who the h*ll does this Von Klamp think he is anyway, thinking he's better than everyone else?"

"You're only touching the surface of the matter," replied Devil, "You have never seen the inside. It is entirely different from what you believe it to be."

"He'd have to accept. He knows he can't cheat with the media eye on him, but the Managers will tune him up with every available method..." Glimmer replied, before gulping worriedly, "...methods I might still have...but are outdated."
He then turned to Ebony, "He's the one who..." and Glimmer took a deep breath to muster the courage to say the next word, "...replaced me. He's supposed to be better than me at what he does..."

"Really," Kim replied, sarcasm still evident, "Please enlighten me."

"They might be outdated methods," Kamui said, "but I believe they'll work."
Ebony gives a snort, "Nobody's better than the original, not even him. Perfection is a word that the tuners do not respect and disregard. There's no room for it in our society."
*****
"There are hardships that one must... endure to be able to take care of a family on welfare," said Devil, "I do this so that I can take care of my family so they'll have something to eat and a place to sleep at night. Life is not easy for tuners. They do what they gotta do to survive. Do you understand how hard it is to make a living?"

"Try telling that to Von Klamp," Glimmer replied, "The Managers are hellbent on making room with him...and when he gets obsolete too, they'll make more to wedge open the gates to monopolize their grip on the racing world. But for now, they think he's perfect from his performance...and we've got to prove them wrong."

"Of course," Kim replied, this time frustratedly, "Every day, every car in this department save for the Chiefs and their upper deputies has to put their life on the line to defend the city and its people all for a public paycheck. Hell, a lot of them come from the same neighborhoods you do."
His tone then became more solemn. "But it doesn't help that this 'tuner' lifestyle and its own codes of morale are made that much more attractive. It's hard to keep to courtesy, professionalism and respect when the allure of easy cash can blur our black-and-white."
