First race meant a lot to just about everyone. Veradux went though all the effort to try and get her known though out the gang, and even Sephie tried really hard. She wasn't just going to sit there and lose. No way, no how, Rho was determined to get things done. That's all she thought as her hovercraft floated above the ground, and the two other racers took their place. Some how luck was on her side, she got to start in the lead. As the flag went down the race officially started. The roar of the motor hummed in her ears as her hovercraft took off, the wind rushing through her thick brown hair. She casually glanced behind her, just to see how the other racers were doing. Xavier, and Cillian where her only competition this time around, and really Rhodanthe figured they wouldn't be much of a challenge anyway. Truthfully, she'd be rather ashamed of herself if they managed to beat her. The only question now was who to take out first? Continuing on at her pace she decided on Cillian. He was second place at the moment, and even if she was sure that he'd stay at second, she might as well focus on him right? With that decision, Rho slowed her hovercraft just a bit allowing Cillian to momentary catch up. She glanced over her side, stuck out her tongue, and attempted to ram her hovercraft into Cillian's. ACTION 1: ram four dice

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,440px,true] I want it now give me your heart and your soul I'm not breaking down I'm breaking out Ready. Set. The light blared green and the world blurred around him, choppy acceleration throwing him back into his seat (he really should have worn a helmet). Air roared over his windshield and pulled at his hair – thankfully he’d remembered his goggles, this time –and he almost lost himself in the wall of noise and rush of adrenaline before he noticed the hovercraft pulling ahead. No. He was not going to start losing so soon into the race – in fact, he wanted nothing to do with anything but first place at all. Of course he knew, somewhere deep down in the recesses of his terribly stupid mind that he wasn’t always guaranteed a win… but he killed this thought; chopped it up into little pieces and buried it in his back yard. So when that annoying brat in the craft before him stuck out her tongue before dropping back to ram him, well… his first thought was naturally a violent and defensive one. He swerved in an attempt to dodge Rho’s assault (his hovercraft was a piece of crap rental as it was; he didn’t need any damage done, thanks very much) and flashed a very lewd hand gesture in her direction. Not missing a beat, he picked a loose wrench from under his foot – he always made sure to sneak weapons aboard – and leaned his arm around the windshield. As her craft was close, he figured he had an alright chance: with a grunt, he hurled the wrench towards her car, sneering across at her as they hurtled around the track. “Don’t you know girls can’t race!?” he bawled across the gap between them, not realizing the roar of the wind alone was enough to entirely drown out everything but the rumble of engines and mindless voice of the crowd. Screw the other loser, he was going to kill this girl. And maybe offer to buy her a drink afterwards. REFLEXIVE ACTION: swerve to dodge rho’s attack ACTION ONE: targeted attack – 2 dice [WRENCH ATTACK GO!] last chance to lose control … Bad post is bad. I wanted to just. B| Get it done, man. I had fun writing it, though…. 8D NEXT WILL BE BETTER IF I’M NOT IN TROUBLE ABOUT THE WRENCH THING also roasty WHOAAA I LOVE THIS TEMPLATEEEE

[XAVIER]

The roar of the crowd, the flash of the lights, the smell of exhaust... it was all utterly overwhelming for someone with superior senses and an easily distracted mind. Granted, he wasn't going to let that hinder his ability to race. The rush of speed was all he needed to draw his attention back to the track, back to the game.

Ready... set...

Race! Xavi hit the accelerator and got slammed by a rush or air. He didn't have goggles, gloves, or any real protective equipment, but, more importantly, he didn't care. As his shaggy pink hair was whipping in the wind, Xavi didn't have a care in the world. However, he had a bad start -- this hunk of metal was a horrible excuse for a hovercraft -- but he was sure he could make a comeback. The two humans weren't paying any attention at all to him, too busy fighting with each other. Time to make his move.

Grabbing a spare gear -- didn't everyone bring makeshift weapons onto their hovercraft? -- Xavi threw it like a frisbee, aiming at Cillian's vehicle. After tilting his head in a mock bow, Xavi tried to close the gap between himself and the second place hovercraft, a devious grin on his face.

ACTION 1: Targeted Attack ;; 2 dice

[{ PASCALINE }]

... I'll let this slide since races can get dirty, but for future reference targeted attacks mean you attack with your hovercraft like Rhodanthe did, not with things inside your hovercraft. That would be considered foul play.

[{ PASCALINE }]

Rhodanthe's ram was unsuccessful, Cillian was able to dodge out of the way! Both Cillian and Xavier's attacks missed. Cillian was able to pull into the lead after dodging Rhodanthe's ram when Rhodanthe pulled back to strike him!

LEAD: Cillian
SECOND: Rhodanthe, by a small margin!
THIRD: Xavier

[sparrow]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,440px,true] I want it now give me your heart and your soul I'm not breaking down I'm breaking out Cillian stuck out his tongue in response as he dodged around Rhodanthe's attack, his own hovercraft rocking with the exertion of the maneuver. He grappled with the steering instruments and leveled himself out, just in time to see what appeared to be a gear hurtling past his head. He spun around to follow its trajectory and locked eyes with the pink-haired... ... chimera? A cat was driving a hovercraft? He rolled his eyes and flipped Xavi the bird, before slamming the accelerator forward and leaping ahead. The 'craft's engines whined from the strain but obeyed, and as the trio bolted towards the finish he pulled ever-so-slightly ahead. There was no longer any question in his mind whether or not he was going to win -- he was racing a cat and a little girl, for heaven's sake; that was no competition at all. Ego combined with the fact that he had, indeed, pulled ahead, was more than enough to assuage Cillian's minor fears. ... And also enough to bring a rather feral grin to his lips. He half-turned in his seat again to sneer back at Rho. "What'd I tell ya'? Just quit while you can!" Grinning like a fool, he gripped the steering levers and pulled himself in front of Rho's 'craft. Using the only somewhat-broken mirror stretching just above his head, he kept an eye on the other two racers -- the next idiot that tried to ram him was going to eat his dust, thank you very much. Hopefully with his slight lead, he'd be able to react to anything coming at him... and if not, well. He wasn't afraid to play a little dirty. ACTION ONE: defensive driving - 4 dice last chance to lose control B] Oops. Won't happen again~ -hides bag of wrenches- And um. ... Yeah, wasn't exactly sure how to write the whole... defensive... thing. So. ;3; Sorry.

She chewed at her lip, and quickly brought the hovercraft away. She steady the machine, which whined, the metal creaking under her body. Oh how she wanted to trash the piece of junk and get her own. She sighed thoughtfully, before turning back to face the race track. At least the other racers had the same piece of crap hovercraft. Plus her sister would love to get her hands on a hovercraft. "Screw you." she shouted as she ducked down, narrowly avoiding the flying wrenches. It flew right past her and flopped on to the track, seconds later it was out of site. She glared daggers at Cillian sneaked past her. Letting out a small huff, she shot small glare at Xavi too. If he hadn't missed she would've still had her place. Dumb cat lad needed to get better aim. Yeah, that was the problem. She couldn't leave it up to other racers to let her have the lead, how disgusting. Rho focused her attention back to Cillian, the wind from his hovercraft whipping her hair all around. She pulled her hovercraft back slightly as Cillian lined his up infront of hers. Ignoring the cat now (if he couldn't mess up Cillian, how could he mess up her?) she veered her hovercraft over to the left. Accelerating the hovercraft to where the whine of the engine turned into a groan, Rho attempted to gain enough speed to pass him. "It's cute you think so. Maybe you could hang your second place trophy on your wall." she shouted back, returning his bird. ACTION 1 passing 4 dice.

[XAVIER]

His gear missed. Well, that was disappointing. Oh well, if at first you don't succeed try something completely different! Or... something like that. The other two racers were still fighting it out, completely ignoring him. Now would probably be a good time to do something drastic, ehh?

Accelerating as much as his engine would physically allow, he attempted to slam his car into the one in front of him -- was it the girl, the guy? He wasn't really paying attention to which one was first -- and run it off course, hopefully providing him with a chance to take second place. After that, of course, they would both be attacking him, but oh would that make things interesting! Staying back here was getting incredibly boring. He needed to go shake things up!

"Coming through!" he called happily. Most people would think he was crazy for not shouting something nasty or competitive, but Xavi didn't really understand why humans did such things. This was a game, and games should be fun! Being nasty to each other completely ruined the entire concept! Oh well... hopefully he would be making a game changing move now and start some real competition.

[{ PASCALINE }]

Rhodanthe was able to pass Cillian, but not without getting rammed by Xavier! Rhodanthe takes 20 damage and currently has 80 HP while Cillian and Xavier still have 100 HP. Cillian and Xavier are currently tied.

Posting order is now: Rhodanthe, Xavier, and Cillian. Xavier is posting before Cillian not because he's ahead of Cillian in the race, but because he was last in posting and now that he and Cillian are tied I thought to give him a chance to post second.

Just two more rounds to go!
