Gear Heart had been roped into the game along with the other servants. Gear Heart was quite good at Freeze-Run, but only as a runner*. Although his slow and steady pace made sure he was only occasionally the 1st to pass the Gate-Wizard and the sound of his feet meeting the ground with a audible thud gave away his distance from victory, the golem had never been caught moving. [i]Thud...Thud....Thud...Thud...[/i]The moment Veronica looked away, she could hear Gear Heart begin to move. [i]Thud...Thud....Thud...Thu-[b]CLANG![/b][/i] As Veronica turned around to freeze the runners once again, a loud clang could be heard from within Gear Heart's body as his servos locked up and rendered the golem incapable of any and all movement. Once Veronica turned away again, Gear Heart resumed moving. The process repeated itself until Gear Heart finally passed Veronica.

*After an incident where he almost hit Veronica full in the face with 1 of his large metal hands after turning a little overzealously during his 1st time being the Gate-Wizard, the baron decided letting Gear Heart play that particular role wasn't the bast idea in the world.
