mingle / the great avalonian... parkour race?
🧙 WHO: Kate and all interested contestants and viewers
⚔️️ WHAT: the great parkour race!
🕒 WHEN: 2/2; 14:00
🗺️ WHERE: off limits parkour gym
⚠️ WARNINGS: nothing but possible use of courage arrows
Off Limits isn't the easiest place to find, tucked away in a side street as it is, but once you find the street, the neon sign is a dead giveaway. And if that still isn't enough, the fact that there are cameras floating around the streets, signposting the route for the race may do it. Step inside the gym itself and Kate — hair pulled up into pigtails, looking cosy in thermal leggings and an orange hoodie — will lead you through the main hall to the outdoor training area if you're competing (after taking your money and making you sign a waiver) or ask if you prefer to sit inside or out to view. In both cases you'll find chairs and a projector system currently broadcasting the route for the race, as run by Off Limit's surly owner.
There are quick explanations of the rules — don't use magic, feel free to use other routes as long as you pass the "checkpoints" the cameras create, don't interfere with other competitors, and anyone who does try to cheat will find themselves shot with some of the enchanted arrows Kate has procured for quest purposes (yes, that's been written in the waiver, hope you read the fine print!). And disqualified. Then a quick reminder that the first, second and third place racers can choose their prize in order of placement (first place gets first pick, etc) and everyone who doesn't place will be given a pack of homemade lavender tea as a thank you for competing.
So, with all that said, get racing!
( OOC: you know how this goes! Make your own top levels, interact freely. If you're competing please comment here and I will RNG the winners on 5/2 - Saturday - to give everyone a few days to comment. )

Rei pulls a face as he does a quick analysis of himself. He doesn't... FEEL any different....]
Which one is it? I don't feel particularly amorous... [Watch out Rei, you're about to answer your own question. As if compelled, he keeps going:] It had better be the chocolate one. I wouldn't have minded the horny one, but sporting a boner is probably not a great look for your gym, and--
[Pause.]
--Fuck.
no subject
so that's how it works. to be fair, they only told her about the intended effect. )
'S supposed to get you to confess romantic feelings.
( which, obviously, is why she thought he'd be a safe person to poke. if you have no romantic feelings to confess, then nothing would happen, right?
apparently not. and this is probably something she should explain in full, given how awkward that single sentence sounds, but her logic from there seems so self-evident that Kate doesn't bother to. )
no subject
I know I'm a catch, but absolutely not. [Wince. He could have phrased that less terribly but the arrow doesn't let him stop before it comes out of his mouth.] Aagh. Look, I'm sorry. I do actually consider you a close friend, which is rare, and... ugh. [WINCE. oh my God, this is mortifying.]
Fuck, this is the worst. I didn't even break any rules in the waiver, so why did you...
[Kate please stop this poor motherfucker]
no subject
see Kate blink
wait... oh yeah she sees wheee she went wrong. that was too obvious to be worth mentioning. )
Shut up. ( seriously, she needs him to shut up so much on that train of thought that she slaps her hands to his chest for emphasis. ) I chose you 'cause I thought it wouldn't do owt.
( shit is serious when Kate uses a subject in a sentence ok??? she was hoping he'd get pricked, nothing would happen, and they'd go on with their days but she'd have a nice tip in her bank account.
she's about to say sometting else but that single braincell running in her hamster wheel of a skull has finally heard that last bit. )
...You think I'm a close friend?
( her face, which had paled at the realisation of where Rei's thoughts were going, only now begins to pink with... something. that is--
sure they hang out and she enjoys it and would say the same but... oh, boy, the full realisation of just how bad that undisclosed (unknown, perhaps) side effect hit her with that sentence.
ahaha... RIP Rei. )
no subject
Oh, great. At least we're both horrified. [He sighs, running a hand over his face to smooth it out. Fine, fine. It's fine. He's fine. If it's just this much, he can handle this enchantment.
as long as he doesn't run into Ichiro, at least.He sighs again, and picks up the wine basket. He shoots kate A Look. (Despite everything, it's still fond.)]
I'm gonna get you for this.
no subject
but even so... nah. she's not built for that kind of shit. Rei might be (all comments noted and left to percolate in the back of her mind) but she'll leave him to that. being independent is easier, more comfortable. annoying enough that other people have been sneaking their way under her walls and becoming people she wants to protect. no one needs the added complication of other feelings.
thankfully for everyone involved, Rei's threat is ripe for a snarky comment. )
What're you gonna do, blind me with that jacket?
( you're not scary, Rei. (though, those might be famous last words.) )
no subject
[Kate might find her email address signed up for 200 stupid newsletters, though.]
I'll see you, Kate-chan. [Before he turns to head out Rei reaches with his free hand to tug on one of her pigtails-- not hard, just enough to make his point-- and grins again, impudent even in the face of his mortifying admission.]
