Role Play Room

"We'll see," she said.

by the time it came down to the last two laps, there was only three cars in the lead pack: Kei, Proter, and another racer.  They came across the line and the white flag dropped...LAST LAP!"

[Trace Carter]

"think there will be another accident or some dirty play?" asked Z

[HotelKatz]

"Possibly," Malek said, as he held a small box. "Here's your new seal, Z. Since the seal place had a few extra spare gold chain mail bracelets, it only took a few seconds to adjust one to you."

[Trace Carter]

"thanks," said Z taking it and putting it on

[paladin313]

However, the third man wiped out, which brought out the caution, but because they had already started the lap, then, by rule, they could continue to race until they got back to the start/finish line.  However, since this was the last lap, it was for all the marbles, and they were the only two now in contention.  The team was ecstatic and on the edge, while Bell was all nervous.

[Trace Carter]

"showdown time," said Z, "who will win?"

[paladin313]

The two were door to door, fighting each other all the way, by the time they got to the backstretch, Kei took the lead, Proter right on his bumper, scowling all the way.

in the stands Z watched with anticipation

[paladin313]

Proter rode him all the way, knowing Kei was not a rookie, but he was a rookie to this kind of racing.  Yet, Proter had a chance at legend, and he was not to be denied.  The car was telling him to keep drafting, and wait for the turn."
     They headed into the last big turn before the tri-oval, and Kei went high: exactly what Proter was waiting for.  He used the bank and the draft to slingshot past Kei, but Kei understood what was happening and managed to stay at Proter's side.  They were so close, in fact, they could not tell who was in front, and they rocketed past the finish line as the checkered flag came down.  The crowd roared, but then began to mutter as to who crossed first.  The announcer then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are reviewing the finish, and we shall have the decision for you soon."

[Trace Carter]

Z summoned his tiny selves back to him

[paladin313]

They then put on the big board what the reviewer was seeing.  It was moving very slowly, and it seems Proter was slowly edging his way up, and only had his bumper in front of Kei when they came across the line, but that was enough.  Proter was declared the winner.

[Trace Carter]

Z smiled at the result and headed off to prepare for his move.

[paladin313]

They came around and Kei went into the pit, all dejected while Proter was given the checkered flag for the victory lap.

[Trace Carter]

Z appeared at a special hole in the wall store and used an illusion to purchase an expensive, high quality, bottle of sake.

"Look at it this way, Kei. If you had won, more stupid people would be challenging you." Urd said.
