...vroom. (later in liminal)

[truerevelation]

Yo, everyone.

Been thinkin' about something like this for a while. But we ain't had a lot of good Liminals to do it in. This one's ... kinda perfect for it.

Who's up for a full on lightcycle race? Not just a coupla folks runnin' around. Everyone who wants to compete... why not, huh?

Probably gonna need folks to watch the course, too. Make sure no-one's cuttin' corners or ... busting out powers or stuff. Might be good if a coupla flyers could help out or something?

But yeah - if anyone likes the sound'f it, I'll get stuff set up.


((Log will be up later, along with an OOC signup to RNG a winner.))

[fridgeninja]

I can help watch the course.

[truerevelation]

Thanks, dude. Probably gonna have it runnin' out around the main bit of the golf course 'n come back in past the little fancy ones?

[claudiometer]

Hell yes.

On this short of notice I probably won't have time to make lightcycles for people who want in but don't have one yet, unfortunately, but I can toss a few on my to-do list for after. Up to three, like usual. Still wanna eat and sleep somewhere in there.

[truerevelation]

Damn, if I'd've thought about the thing earlier I woulda given you warning. Sorry about that.

But yeah, I can help ya out with 'em after if anyone wants after...

[claudiometer]

No big deal, dude. Ideas happen when they happen.

[forcechanic]

If you walk me through doing the first one, I can start taking some of that off you.

[truerevelation]

Yeah, and ... can't really hang around on 'em here, huh.

[claudiometer]

Not so much. If it didn't take so much work to make the damn things I might consider having a backlog, but the other thing about waiting is being able to customise.

[claudiometer]

No problem. Come by whenever.

[forcechanic]

I'll bring the computer I cobbled together by in a bit.

[It's dated by her standards but should do the job for this]

[tobegood]

...What's a lightcycle?

[truerevelation]

... right. [Kanji's kicking himself for the assumption.] It's - actually, lemme stream a thing.

[Said thing is a snippet of Kanji's own cycle, parked incongruously in the Aiya lounge for the moment.]

Dunno if you're from somewhere with motorbikes - they were around in the last Jaunt's world anyway? - but it's a kind of bike from the Grid. Got a few cool tricks to 'em like collapsing into a little baton or leaving a light trail behind 'em.

[tobegood]

[There's a kind of confused mental pause before Imri responds.] ...I'm from a time before electricity. And I was a pogemon in the last jaunt.

[In other words, he's still not entirely sure what he's looking at.] A... light trail?

[truerevelation]

Alright - fair enough. Seen cars anywhere? Bikes with pedals? They're all kinds of vehicles that ... that move themselves. Like a little cart you ain't gotta put a horse on. That help?

And lemme show you what it looks like. Kinda a glowy wall behind it. Works for attacking 'n defending yourself.

[tobegood]

I... I've seen cars before. [In Newport, when he had just left the 15th century and everything was terrifying and confusing.] But I didn't anybody had any cars we brought with us. You said it... collapses?

[Most of what comes over the network is bafflement.] ...But what good is that? How can use you light to attack or defend yourself. [Because of course, Imriel has not reason to think that light can be solid.]

[truerevelation]

Yeah. It folds up on itself - hell if I really know how it works. [He's not going to go into a vague explanation about 'compressing the data' to someone unfamiliar with technology.]

And there's a lotta ways, but ...here. Watch this.

[It's a brief clip of a memory of the Grid, showing the light wakes in action, Automata chasing and crashing into them.

Solid, right?

[goestoextremes]

[ Racing? Something like motorcycles? Things that bring light into one's life very funny, Korra? They all remind this young woman of certain someone... ]

I don't have a lightcycle, so I can't race -- you know, assuming I'd even know how to drive that thing. But I could help watch the course.

[hazardlight]

Man, I am so in.

Wakes on or off?

[sharkened]

You know, I can't drive those things, but I'd definitely be up to learning how to do them to help you out. I'd just need a computer.

[wildmagician]

I'm definitely in. Riding with you earlier just added up to the need for speed.

[truerevelation]

You ever want a go, just lemme know? You can borrow mine.

But thanks - that's gonna be a great help.

[truerevelation]

Eh, if we get a lotta racers, I'm ... probably gonna say keep 'em off this time? This is just for fun.

[truerevelation]

Hell yeah! That's the kinda thing I like to hear.

[shiroganeheir]

What is the correct phrase? You're going down, Kanji?

[ninjayeehaw]

I'm here if'n y'all need someone t'keep en eye on who's leadin'! Could do some kinda commentatin' fer the race, too!
