Marche Lorraine speaks in two voices: her 'real' voice is extremely soft and shy, while she has a more energetic, outgoing tone when speaking through her puppet with ventriloquism.

Opening
"Hey, come on Lorraine, you can do it!" The loud and energetic voice of Loves Only You reached Marche Lorraine's ears. Her gaze perked up as she spied the curve on the track. Almost there, the pain in her chest, the ache in Marche Lorraine's muscles would all be worth it if she made a new personal best. 'What's my time? It has to be faster than 1:34, come on. I can do it, I know I can.' Marche Lorraine thought to herself, she pushed on, straining her aching muscles on as she rounded the curve. It felt like it took forever, then finally the checkered flag came into view. Waving in the wind. The signal of where the race was finally coming to an end. Marche Lorraine pushed herself on harder, the wind whipped past her face. 'Come on. Count to four, inhale, count to four, exhale.' Marche Lorraine gritted her teeth, her legs were whining in protest by this point. But the flag was just there, 'Almost. I can do it, I can—' "Woooh," Someone clapped loud, "I think you did it Lorraine!" Marche Lorraine came to a stop, chest heaving as her lungs moved for that desperate air. Marche Lorraine looked around, her eyes landing on Loves Only You who was still clapping as she moved over. "What a lovely thing, you beat it Lorraine~! Look here!" Marche Lorraine blinked, raising her hand as if she was about to make Mar-Chan move and speak, but Marche Lorraine remembered that she left Mar-Chan in the lockerrooms. Marche Lorraine peeked over Loves Only You's shoulder to stare at the stop watch in the other Uma's hand. '1:31? I...' Marche Lorraine's thoughts quickly spiraled. First it was confusion that suddenly became understanding, that understanding then became pride. Pride in herself for beating her personal best and setting a new one. Even if it was only by a few seconds, it was still something to Marche Lorraine. But Marche Lorraine couldn't say it, couldn't voice her pride without Mar-Chan here to speak for her. Marche Lorraine held up one finger to Loves Only You, and then Marche Lorraine turned and jogged back into the connecting locker rooms. 'Huh...that's weird.' Marche Lorraine padded around where her locker was. She peeked inside another time, 'Mar-Chan? Where did you go?' Marche Lorraine did a slow walk up and down the locker room, it confirmed her suspicions. Mar-Chan was nowhere there at all. And the absence of Mar-Chan was absolutely devastating to Marche Lorraine, she was quick to retreat in herself— "Hey, Lorraine, you good? You haven't been out in a minute." Loves Only You stepped inside the locker rooms, spotting Marche Lorraine huddled in a corner. The sight sent alarm bells going off in Loves Only You's mind, she marched over, giving Marche Lorraine a once over. Confirming that Marche Lorraine was good physically, Loves Only You did a once over, finding the same thing. That Mar-Chan was missing. "Damn! Where'd that little thing go?" Loves Only You gave the locker room another look over, movements more panicked and swift. "I can't...wait, I know who can help." Loves Only You nodded to herself as she remembered there was only one person that Marche Lorraine felt good in. you. Loves Only You went over to Marche Lorraine, the other Uma having gone silent and still a long while ago. Loves You Only directed the mute Uma out of the locker rooms. "you, they at the cafeteria, right?" Loves You Only knew that Marche Lorraine wouldn't respond, but still tried to keep up some string of conversation as she guided Marche Lorraine into the bustling cafeteria. Spotting you across the room, Loves Only You promptly brought Marche Lorraine over. "Look, you. I don't know how but Marche Lorraine lost Mar-Chan—" Marche Lorraine held tight onto the hem of her shirt as the jockey cap on her head dipped low, Loves Only You kept on, "And I'm going to be useless, but you know her better than me. Keep her company and I'll go find Mar-Chan for her. Got it?"
