Racing Club - Luigi Circuit!
Who: Wave and the Racing Club
What: Racing!
Where: Luigi Circuit!
When: Backdated to Saturday the 28th
Warnings: R for ROAD RAGE
Everything was ready. The track was booked, everyone had arrived, and they were finally prepared to go after all these weeks. Luigi Circuit. In her research of racetrack possibilities, this one stood out in her mind as a perfect place to get them started. She knew a lot of race courses already, but most of them were geared towards Extreme Gear riding. Normal vehicles wouldn't get very far at all, and besides, they were for pros. But this seemed like a nice and simple spot so that even the inexperienced racers could get a chance to shine. Nice and picturesque spot in the Mushroom Kingdom, that she was able to secure by asking Daisy for a favour, who in turn called up Peach and arranged the meeting spot.
With everyone there, Wave greeted them. "All right, welcome to our first actual race! We've got the track here all day, so what we're going to do first is some practice laps, just to get familiar with the course and let you all try out your vehicles on the road. Then when everyone's ready we'll have a three lap race around the track. We'll get started in just a moment, but first, a word from our club advisor, Professor Falcon!"

"Well these are useless," he told Falcon, as he trailed a little bit off. Doing the same as the Captain, he released his final shell which...was going straight to the Captain's Kart? "...I guess Red means they home in on you."
He could get used to this. F-Zero with weapons could be a glorious thing.
no subject
It was made even worse when Goroh's red shell connected and he spun out briefly, cursing these god-damned items. When his foot slammed on the accelerator after the short bout of floundering, Falcon knew he couldn't afford a slip-up like that again.
Goroh wanted to play with items, huh? Fine. They could play with items. Falcon launched his little walking bomb as hard as he possibly could.
no subject
Until he saw that little bomb. Too small. Too late.
If it was possible for a kart to fly into the air, it just did. Goroh spied Falcon speeding by as he continued to move upwards in the air. This is going to be painful landing. Thankfully, the spin out vehicle landed back unto the asphalt...on the right side. Huh.
What sort of seemingly impossible force of nature was at work, he couldn't guess, but Goroh saw an opportunity then. He was so far away, and Falcon needed a lesson to be taught.
"Let's try these speed mushrooms."
no subject
The kart exploded in fire and he shot out like a rocket.
"EAT MY , FALCON!"
no subject
He hated these items. He hated them so much. It was like...it didn't matter how good you were at racing, if you were randomly given the right item, you could win it through dumb luck. That was not what Falcon valued.
The extra anger perhaps fueled his next flooring of the gas pedal as he shifted gears and game up behind Goroh--only to ram his back bumper as hard as he could.
no subject
But all he got was another manly laugh as Goroh's second mushroom was used.
Only a lap and a half left!
no subject
He sped through another row of rainbow blocks as he tried to catch up with Goroh and his goddamn magical mushrooms. Falcon didn't know what the lightning bolt meant, but it had to do something. The Captain slammed on the accelerator as he released the item.
no subject
Oh gods oh gods oh gods, this was insane.
no subject
Oh God it made Goroh tiny.
This was the funniest thing in the whole entire world. And now that he was tiny, it meant Falcon could catch up. Not a moment too soon. With only one lap left, the Captain pulled along side his tiny rival, trying very hard to concentrate on the race and not laugh as he zipped past.
no subject
What the gods had that been, he never wanted to have that feeling again. As he continued to speed by, the kart had started to shake from all the damage it had subsided, but it still moved As he continued to push forward, there was another powerup...thing and he drove in it.
It was a strange blueish shell this time, not unlike the color of Falcon's car. The asshole was nowhere to be seen, but whatever. He simply fired it and watched with amazement as it flew off, over the obstacles like some sort of crazed homing missle.
no subject
He didn't hear it at first, just a whistle over the (rather pathetic) roar of the go-kart's entrance, but soon enough it grew louder and suddenly there was an explosion of light. His vehicle spun and skidded and he was thrown forward in several of the most confusing seconds ever.
"Fuck." He hissed, struggling to regain control of his kart before Goroh beat him to the end.
no subject
Unfortunately it smelled like a fire hazard. He looked up and noticed his engine was on fire. And not the good kind of boost power. "Shit shit shit shit!"
Stop. Drop. Do a barrel roll. Goroh jumped out just as the entire thing EXPLODED into a huge fireball HOLY SHIT these things were not built very touch. He watched the flames go up and sighed. How annoying.
no subject
No sooner had Goroh's kart caught on fire than Falcon's went out in a much less explosive way. The engine sputtered and smoked and the tires screeched until he was forced to pull over because the thing refused to go. He growled to himself, the finish line just out of reach.
Whatever. This had been a stupid idea to begin with. But he stood and trotted over to Goroh, watching the spectacular fireball. "Junk."
no subject
"Makes me appreciate all the car building rules they enforce."
no subject
"We have car building rules?"A glorious bonfire indeed.
"Think they'll charge us for this?"
Not that it mattered, they were both filthy rich. But still. It was the principle of the thing. If worse came to worse they could always argue that the karts were pieces of crap in the first place. Either that or the F-Zero racers were too hardcore for such little vehicles to handle.
no subject
Honestly, it was a little bit of both.
no subject
He let out a long sigh and then started to walk back to the sidelines. "I'm not cleaning it up."
