( 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.

It wasn't quite the emptiness, because you still felt, you just didn't let yourself think too much. She flew round the ring again, as fast as she could.

It was amazing, it really did feel like flying. Of course what goes up must go down and Pruna's skates hit the floor again, one leg going one way, one the other. She windmilled her arms like crazy, trying to swerve like Harley had showed her and went crashing into a crowd of people.

This girl was dangerous even when she wasn't trying to be. An idle thought crossed her mind.
Hope I don't have to face this little devil in the arena.
no subject
"You do be being a rubbish teacher."
no subject
"What? Come on! I taught you how to go fast didn't I? And look how much more confidently you're moving! What did you really expect to master all of skating in a single day?" She huffed and put her hands on her hips.
"Don't go blaming the teacher for your weaknesses. I expected better of someone so skilled in the art of murder."
no subject
"Okay, you did be teaching good." She didn't sound happy still, "I do just be needing to be practicing more."
no subject
"That's the spirit. You can do anything you set your mind to with enough practice. Just don't get all grumpy about it." She offered a hand.
"Besides, wasn't it kind of fun watching those rubes squeal before you crashed into em?"
no subject
"What do a rube be being?" She asked, to distract herself from her annoyance.
no subject
"People too dumb to get out of the way when they see you coming at them."
no subject
Annnd wrapping it up.
"Come on brat, I'll buy you some hot chocolate before you get back out here to practice more."
