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. )

last month's new arrival learns, that there's a name for all the jumping and everything else, that she's been doing back home for years.

before the race

[After hassling Kate about her waiver for fun, Rei mills around the projection area to size up his friendly competition. He's dressed in what would be a normal outfit if the track jacket wasn't the shiniest gold allowed on earth.]

Guess a parkour race track is only a suggestion, huh. [He rubs his chin thoughtfully as he watches the screen. It's different from a marathon or a track meet that way...]

??during the race??

[ OLD MAN COMING THROUGH. BEEP BEEP

Kate has clearly marked the main race parameters so this is probably safe. but Rei WILL leapfrog you and keep going if he has to!!!!!!!!!!]


after the race

[Rei bounds past the finish line in a decent amount of time, hair streaked back form the sweat and wind. HE LIVED!!!

Since the race was small enough for each participant to run individually (like some sort of game show...), no winning time has been tallied yet. There's still a while yet before any rankings are announced.

Kate does at least have the grace to have a water and small concession stand up for racers near the finish line, though. Breathing hard, Rei grabs a water bottle, cracks it open, and drains it.]


...Ow.

[He flexes the fingers he just used to unscrew the cap. Guess ya get kinda scraped up when you grab building sides and fences and the like to hop over 'em, huh?]

wildcard

anything else? rei is Around, just hmu!!

[ So that's what he oughta have kept training for when they body-swapped. Ah, shucks! Maybe his cheering on the sidelines can make up for it some. As soon as he got wind, Sasara decided himself and Rosho needed to come along as a sort of fan club. Hopefully all that yelling and hollering didn't trip Rei up. ]

Teh! [ Nor the slap on his back now, as Sasara seems to just have materialized beyond the finish line. ]

Look at 'cha. For your age, ya know!! [ Poking his finger into the matter as usual– but he's just so boastful on Rei's behalf. ] Old man, that oughta win a medal to match your suit, ya see!

Aah, Sasara.

[Rei lets out a little oof when Sasara whacks him. It didn't hurt, but he was already winded... still, he's grinning.]

Hah hah. Praise me some more, will ya? [He's loathe to admit it, but being cheered on felt really nice. He'd only mentioned the race offhand when they were having dinner... and still the two of them showed up. They're so cute... he's happy to still have them around, despite everything.

Rei ruffles Sasara's hair. (His hand is kinda sweaty, sorry.)]


You're such a monkey yourself, bet you could make short work of it. Once you got the stamina, at least. Heh!

Before The Race

[ Ah, this is actually kind of relaxing! A free for all run without worry of monsters or magic... a good chance for exercise! As such, Della can be seen doing some stretching exercises beforehand, and if she spots anyone just casually standing around... ]

You might wanna loosen up before the showdown! I can teach you a few techniques, if you'd like! It'd be really boring if anyone dropped out early for pulling a hamstring! ... Do humans have hamstrings?

During The Race

[ It turns out that ducks are really light - which means she can jump and hop easily! She laughs freely, loving every single second of this. Even if others pass her or she falls, nothing wipes the smile off of her face. ]

Oh man, I feel twenty years younger! I bet I can make that next jump with my eyes closed!

After The Race

[ Phewwww. That was... a lot. It's a bummer she didn't make first, but hey, fourth isn't shabby! She's still pleased to have landed in such a close place. She can be found sitting on the ground, rubbing right above her prosthetic leg. Her stump is a bit sore after that excessive running, but it'll be fine after some rest. ]

Man, Fenton's gunna give me an ear-full if I broke anything... but! Totally worth it. We totally have to do this again!
