( open ) off to the races
Who| OPEN.
What| The First Annual Panem Motorcycle Races and Festival kick off.
Where| The Capitol.
When| Friday - Sunday.
Warnings/Notes| For more information, check out the original post, or see the results and winnings post.
Starting Friday, the Capitol has pushed out onto the chill streets with hopes for entertainment and the thrill of races most of them have no personal stakes in. The races are spread out over the first few days, with whispers of a surprise happening on Sunday. Everyone's theorizing what it could be. It's the nature of crowds to indulge in curiosity on a massive, gossipy level, and the Citizens of the Capitol are no exception.
Aside from the races, people stopped by the ice skating rink sponsored by one of the museums from the last Arena, with a Mindy themed focus. There are ride-alongs: Capitolites make a donation to the Gamemaker's Foundation (or something, idk) in order to get a chance to ride along on a short loop track with a racer. They can make this donation and then dictate anyone be the tag-along, from themselves, to their children, to another Tribute/Mentor. Why? Because Shippers.
Set indoors, there's Bumpercycle Jousting. Minimal injury, maximum ridiculous.
And back on the street, there's festival foods, with businesses opening doors and inviting chilled citizens in to enjoy special foods and drink and merchandise suited to the season and post-Games festivities.
Each night finishes with a round of fireworks in the sky.

Re: THE BEGINNER RACE
The race began, and off he went, zooming along to a decent start.
If this was more like an airship, he'd at least know sort of what he was doing. Despite that, he wasn't doing too bad. He may have lacked for experience with a motorcycle or anything like it, but the very basic level of this whole thing alleviated that problem. Plus, he had good reflexes on his side and a pretty reckless attitude overall. He was used to rapid speeds while airborne, so he was all for cranking up the speed in this race. He probably needed something like this.
And he wasn't afraid to toss out a random bomb here and there when he saw someone getting too close. He always did have a rivalrous streak waiting to come out...
