Madwheel pulled up in tiny form, glad Spanner had let his Chemies out before starting in with the activities today. Being left in someone's pocket when they were going to be... active, could get uncomfortable.

Much to its delight, it wasn't the only Chemy on the viewing shelf. "So, who do you think is going to win, Steamliner?"

In toy form, instead of card form, the other did its best impression of a shrug. "It's not as if they're doing this 'for the record'. This is meant to be for fun, as far as I understand it. Even if they're not as likely to admit it."

Undeterred, Madwheel settled in, eager to watch the excitement. This sort of activity wasn't the kind Chemies participated in, anyhow. But it was nice to have a good seat.

"Ha! Take that, Spanner!"

Both young alchemists were quite animated in how they went about things, making the whole matter a real show.

"I think you'll find that I'm not so easy to surprise, Ichinose. Hah!"

The Chemies didn't differentiate too much; whether one boy took the lead, or struggled, the former cheered both of their humans on. What mattered to them was that Houtaro and Spanner enjoyed themselves, which was definitely happening.

"I'll beat you next time, Spanner!"

The older boy smiled. "We'll see... Ichinose Houtaro."

Privately, Spanner was glad so many of his skills had transferred so easily to Ping-Pong. There had been many moments where he had feared Houtaro would see right through him and take the upper hand.

But one thing was for sure; between Kyoka, Lachesis, and (horror of horrors) Minato, he was never going to hear the end of this if word ever got out.

Still, he'd come out on top.
