Welcome to Victory Script, a world dedicated to reviewing the best and worst moments of anime and video games.

The Shark House - Chapter 76 - Magenta Storm

Darla Mills, 26 years old, born in Chicago Illinois to American and Puerto Rican parents, she's a Police Traffic Officer who works on the midnight shifts on Bayside's Highway racing scene, a job she earned through being a test and stunt driver, her main car being a 1973 Custom Dodge Charger, but she owns about a hundred more cars, mostly through saving them from renegade racers, earning her nickname the Magenta Storm.
After a while, things got boring, the fallout of the Black Bull x Prancing Horse Highway War meant that only the best racers remained on the Highways, leaving no one to arrest but the occasional rookie parking in the wrong place; Darla was desperate for some excitement until she met Dave Dreamer, she passed him on the North Highway stop where he parked over a double bay, so she issued a parking ticket, it should've been just a one off, but Dave's habit of bad parking and obvious speeding outside the Highways kept bringing Darla back, and each time, Dave had a different car, Darla had found someone on her wave length, so she kept issuing tickets just to get his attention to race against him with the promise of takeaway food if he did race her and this started a fast friendship which in Darla's case was becoming more romantic with every race but she felt she had no chance, Su-Jin, Zoe, Lucy and especially Nasu are all better racers than her, Darla barely makes the top ten, ranking 10th among female drivers, even when given the chance by dating Dave, she was scared that she wouldn't be picked.
So when the rose was given to her by Dave, she was so happy that she cried for hours.
Dawn really was right, Darla really did love Dave, and despite Dave's history of dating, he finally noticed, derailing everything Wendy thought about him and ruining her grand plans.
The first thing Darla did, was with all the money she got from Dave, she got him a new car and then made love in that same car.
They were made for each other.

The Shark House - Chapter 75 - The Chosen One

The chronicles of Dave Dreamer's dating is about to come to an end, he had been working for me for a few weeks and I even dated him myself and I got a grasp on what type of person he is, so with 8 girls to choose from and a 9th option possible if Dave's friends are to be believed, it went along the lines of from Jon, "knowing Dave, he'd reject the remaining girls and date the nurse looking after him" but I don't think he's that obvious, not that Cheryl didn't like him, it's just not really the environment for it.
But what about the 8 remaining girls then?
Haruna gave him as many chances as possible but her unique interests started to alienate him after a while, Bianca had a similar issue, it didn't help that she works under Misao and Dave isn't keen on her.
Try as she might, Lola can't convert him to bikes, he loves cars too much.
With Su-Jin and Zoe, because they are on the same team, the status quo of friends is more valuable than a bigger relationship, not to mention both girls carry the heaviest baggages.
Nasu's an interesting one, Dave is not attracted to her at all, Nasu has the smallest breasts in the BWI but it's the old tomboy weakness, if Nasu unleashed her feminine side it may ruin the friendship they already have, Nasu knows this from experience, she lost her gaming team because of this and she dare not risk it with Slippy Squad.
That just leaves Lucy and Darla.
But Lucy would get bored very quick, she loves racing Dave Dreamer but she also loves racing everyone else, let's be real, Lucy values someone with financial sense, Dave ain't got that.
So we just have Darla remaining, a police officer, can drive any car, always flirts with Dave on the Highways; Alice could see it to, Darla Mills is actually the only one in love with Dave Dreamer.
I'm Dawn Shriners, I don't get things wrong.

The Shark House - Chapter 74 - Bachelorettes

The eight women chasing Dave Dreamer all think of him as someone special but the second date revealed that only one of them truly loves him, here are our contenders.

Zoe Helkin
Better known as Hellcat, Zoe has known Dave the longest as they are part of Chaos Engine, the Helkin Family run team, she has the body of Jessica Rabbit and due to Helkin's strict upbringing has the domestic skills that could put a Stepford wife to shame, she works as a dancer but hopes to turn into a pro racer, she's often called out for Nepotism by rivals and for a long time she never really opened up to people except for best friends Alex and Popuri, this is due to a school shooting incident where Zoe was shot in the shoulder.

Nasu Hijiri
Better known as Warhammer, Nasu joined Slippy Squad as it's first female member, she got on with Dave straight away, connecting over sport and cars, she works as a hotel receptionist outside of pro gaming, her slender figure makes her nimble and a natural at Figure Skating, however her tomboy and feminine sides are constantly at war for supremacy over her mind set backed up by strong friends Sylvia and Emily along with sister-in-law Mikoto.

Darla Mills

She met Dave after issuing him a parking ticket, seeing him as a bit of fun on an often boring job, she would race Dave with the promise of pizza afterwards, she has gorgeous thick lips and dazzling eye lashes but can be a little too mischievous, when not on patrol with her squad partner Robert, she usually watches racing and wrestling.

Su-Jin Kim

Underneath her rough exterior lies a hidden beauty waiting to blossom, she likes 90s music and city pop, and considers Dave her best customer.

Bianca Coluccelli
Bianca had only heard of Dave Dreamer through her boss Misao, a biology researcher often in very tight clothing for her glorious figure, she loves animals and the out doors, and spends much of her time doing outdoor activities, she's a little absent minded and doesn't always read the room correctly but her personality is very infectious, she's a vegetarian and as part of the Italian Mafia Wave is loyal to the Black Bulls Syndicate.

Haruna Yamato

She's an avid board gamer and loves anime. She has a hidden talent of being able to master anything from mere instructions.

Lucy Kwon
Tired of being caught up in her country's corrupt system, former Biathlon champion and army sniper Lucy Kwon, also known as Lucy Dreamer arrived in Bayside becoming an employment officer and chauffeur, with her sexy tan and alluring dress sense Lucy wanted to see if the best on the Highways are a match for her especially Dave Dreamer, who she immediately picks as her rival due to the naming similarities.
She loves making money, and is unbeaten in Poker, but is a sore loser.

Lola Rosberg

Looks great in lycra and a certified gym bunny, Lola hopes she can awaken the competitive Dave Dreamer from so long ago.

9th Option?
It would seem unheard of, but Dawn never specified that the one who loves Dave was one of the eight, there's always room for a wildcard.

The Shark House - Chapter 73 - One Heart

The remaining eight girls all dated Dave Dreamer a second time, this time all dates were the same, by the end of it, Dave was hospitalised from exhaustion and gastroenteritis, this angered Dr Michelle Meadows who didn't approve of marriage bounties to begin with.
The remaining girls met with Wendy, Dawn and Alice but none of them looked happy, it was hard to describe how each of them felt, Wendy felt confident that Dave had failed miserably but Dawn and Alice weren't so sure.
The eight girls were given time before Dave returned from hospital, Wendy left laughing but Dawn and Alice stayed to discuss.
"She's a handful" Dawn said.
"That's the nice way of saying it, I can't stand Wendy's attitude towards men, she thinks they can be manipulated so easily, it's not a good look for someone who runs the BWI, Giro even put in a request to have her stand down should Dave succeed" Alice spoke.
"Says the woman who tied up Dave and emptied five mags of airsoft bullets on him" Dawn called out Alice.
"This coming from someone who almost killed Razzmatazz" Alice returned.
After some calm from the stalemate, the two spoke again.
"One of them has actually fallen in love with him and we both know who it is, I guess the question is, can Dave finish the job?" Dawn said.
"He better, I want Wendy to fail" Alice leaves sucking a candy cane.
All eight girls went to different places.
Lucy went to a bar.
Lola went to the gym.
Bianca went to a spa.
Haruna went to a board game cafe.
Su-Jin went to the battle snax pub.
Darla went to the race track.
Nasu went to Slippy Squad's training base.
Zoe went home.
One of them actually loves Dave, but which one?

The Shark House - Chapter 72 - Weaknesses

Dave Dreamer did indeed go on all his dates, the final total being 52 since he forgot to include already agreed dates before the marriage bounty was issued.
44 of them didn't want to continue.
There was a reason why the BWI girls were allowed to pick the first date option, by bringing the male into their environment they have a better sense of who they're dealing with and the 44 who gave up have left reasons.
17 of them didn't feel like Dave was really into it, some of the more passionate ladies in terms of interests are so into it that any potential partner needs to keep up with them, the movie buffs and the sports fanatics in particular, Dave might like Soccer but dating a Brazilian who lives and breathes it is too much.
12 of them called Dave a simp, some women like to be in control and have their partner treat them like royalty but it gets boring after a while, you kind of wish for some push back or backbone.
2 found Dave Dreamer boring, this was Noelle and Winona who thrive in big social groups and don't feel Dave fits in.
4 felt that Dave was lacking, Kara, Julie, Maria and especially Wendy are all frustrated that they couldn't find the special something that attracted them to Dave in the first place, their loss I guess.
4 just used Dave to find themselves, Dawn, Suzuka, Chao and Koala wanted to see another side of things to see if grass really is greener.
5 just want to stay friends, Nora has a hundred friends already, Bonnie and Popuri are happy to be friends, Lisa was more of an apology, Alice after emptying five guns worth of airsoft bullets at Dave calls it even.
That leaves 8 women left and are evenly divided into four categories.
Lola and Lucy like Dave's competitive nature and want to release it more.
Nasu and Zoe are both very close to Dave and want to get closer.
Sujin and Darla don't want to stop having fun with Dave because it gives their lives meaning.
Bianca and Haruna are so similar in personality to Dave that they seem better suited to him than the others.
The next stage of the marriage bounty will be crucial and only one can win, but Dave can rest easy knowing that both Alice and Wendy are off his back, despite Alice leaving him with a hundred bruises.
