Spindizzy Winter Olympics 2026 Biathalon
From Spindizzy Wiki
BunnyHugger shouts "The Biathlon will be starting in about 15 minutes in the 'park' of the day. If you plan to compete please come register." (Public-shout)
'Mako has teleported in.
'Mako has arrived.
Mako steps onto a floating, rainbow-coloured pie wedge and is flown away toward the 'park' of the day.
Mako has left.
park
A floating disk, divided into pie wedges, with every colour of the rainbow taking its turn in each spot, approaches you. You step on, and are carried away... by the time you're able to hop off, you find yourself in
Jellicle Fields - Winter Wonderland (Activities Area)(#8569RLJ)
This section is a bit more hilly than the rest of Jellicle Fields. Looking around, you can see that this area is devoted to all sorts of snowy fun! There seems to be a place for every sort of chilly recreation.
Taking up a good deal of the flat space is a large pond, frozen completely over! It is divided into separate areas with barriers made of thick ice. One section is set up for ice skating, so you can practice your leaps and figure eights. Another section is set up for hockey, with some bleachers for viewing the action. Lastly, off away from the rest of the action, are places for ice fishing. You note one large shed is set up with a sign that reads "Reserved for Borris".
The pond isn't the only body of water here. A short trek away is a series of hot springs. These small round pockets of water bubble and steam, giving off the smell of peppermint. In the center of the various little springs is a large bonfire, perfect for drying off, toasting marshmellow (which are provided fresh each day from the mellow marsh), and singing carols around. Growing around the fire are a series of what look like apple trees. Once again, these are not ordinary apple trees, but are growing...apple pies! Under the apple pie trees are bushes growing little chewy fruit-flavored candies in the shape of fish.
Past the hot springs is are some snowy hills, just perfect for sledding! Several sledding paths have been marked out, some slow and easy, others fast and exciting. One large hill has a long, winding track with several turns and twists. Signs leading to the entrance of the track read "Bobsledding / Otter Slide" What fun!
Atop one large, flat-topped hill is an area devoted to snow-play! One area seems to be set up for making winter art, from simple snowmen (or cats or foxes or raccoons...) to elaborate ice sculptures. Another area is designated as the snow wars battlefield! Plenty of raw material for making snowballs and snow forts, with plenty of rocks and trees for taking cover behind! A large ice barrier encloses this area, so stray snowballs don't hit non-combatants. Lastly, there is the start of a cross-country ski trail for those who wish to get some exercise and view the lovely winter sights.
There is also a small restaurant here. A sign on the building proclams it as 'The Snack Shack!'

Subject: Olympic Biathlon (rescheduled)
It's custom for me to try to run at least one 'traditional winter Olympics' event during one of these, so I am once again going to run a Biathlon. It will combine a cross-country skiing segment with a shooting segment. The former will be a partly RP and partly dice-driven format, and the latter will use the Shooting Gallery program. It will take place at 6 pm on Sunday, February 22.
Because people will have to do some writing on the fly (it won't be possible to entirely pre-write because of the random elements), this may run a bit longer. I will try to adjust the format based on the number of attendees.
Due to a conflict, I have had to change the date for this event. It will take place prior to Closing Ceremonies on Sunday.
Done.
You rumble, "Patashu, Team Dragon."
Royce churrs, "Right. Yeah, there's all those building projects and stuff that I started decades ago and then stalled out on and are probably never going to be touched again."
BunnyHugger says, "Oh yeah, like Spengo. I have one up there too."
BunnyHugger says, "Plus a motel I was starting to build north of my home."
Vahno steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
Vahno has arrived.
BunnyHugger checks off Patashu.
Moriar has arrived.
BunnyHugger says, "Anyone competing please let me know, I want to start as expediently as possible."
BunnyHugger says, "Name and team competing for."
Moriar raises wings, "I would like to compete! Starts in eleven minutes?"
Mako says, "Mako, Mystics and Misfits."
BunnyHugger says, "Yes, Moriar."
Mako says, "Def taking part. :D"
Royce churrs, "Ha, yeah Spengo was one that I had plenty of plans for. Also had plans for a cider mill that involved descriptions that changed according to time of day and year. Oh well."
BunnyHugger says, "Start putting your skis on or borrow some from our rack if you don't have any."
morph dragonite2
Patashu brings out the PI-PCFP-149-01 Dragonite Combat Frame. After a consciousness download and system startup, the keening whine of the onboard generator stabilizes with a thrummm, and the black screen eyes light on with a blaze of pixellated flame.
Moriar looks around, then to Bunny
Patashu needs a bipedal form for this, he figures! Gets ski gear'd and branded up appropriately.
Moriar looks around, then to BunnyHugger, "Moriar, for Team Dragon!"
BunnyHugger writes down Mako and Moriar.
[BunnyHugger just looked in your direction! (female Devilbunny)]
Bleu steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
Bleu has arrived.
Mako says, "I made my suit for just this sort of thing. It's technically a swimsuit but it's padded for winter use. :x "
Mako grabs some skis.
Bleu is doing it au naturale.
Moriar blinks, begins looking around for appropriately sized skis.
NBC flies into the Park and lands.
NBC has arrived.
Bleu says, "Where do I register?"
You wroo, "Hi, NBC!"
NBC rolls his camera in, and himself on it.
NBC chimes G, E, C.
BunnyHugger says, "With me, Bleu. Are you competing?"
Bleu says, "Absolutely."
BunnyHugger says, "Team?"
Bleu says, "Otherwise Other."
Moriar looks to BunnyHugger, "Are there rules against simply flying?"
Austin steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
Austin has arrived.
Austin says, "Chulo, all you happy people-like constructs!"
Royce snugs Austin! What you do not know will not do you any physical damage!
[OOC] Bleu says, "Also heads up, in about 30 minutes I'll have to take about a five minute AFK."
Austin says, "Cousin! Happy Raccoon Day!"
BunnyHugger says, "In fact yes there are. You must have skis on and they must be on the ground, to make it fair. Fair-ish."
Austin SRH's Royce ... so far as the *rest* of you know.
BunnyHugger says, "There will be some terrain obstacles and they will be a bit too easy if you can just fly over 'em."
Bleu is already strapping skis to his feet.
BunnyHugger says, "Hi Austin!"
Mako Waves to Austin~
( A Patashu Industries kobold arrives, and begins handing that Moriar gryphons each a strip of paper with 'Skies' written on it. )
Austin says, "Chulo, love! How bad are people are at following directions already?"
BunnyHugger says, "In addition to competitors, I would like to have one judge."
Mako says, "Fortunately I HAVE been exercising. I don't float EVERYWHERE."
Mako . o O ( I'm screwed. )
Moriar holds the strips of paper in their beaks.
BunnyHugger says, "I have Patashu, Mako, Moriar, and Bleu. Anyone else going to ski with us? Also shoot but that comes later."
Austin says, "I can judge. I love having opinions that are good by definition."
BunnyHugger says, "Thanks Austin."
Moriar's ears perk, and they lean towards Patashu to inquire, "I fell asleep and don't recall. Did I fail to win a copper medal for hiding?"
BunnyHugger shouts "Last call for competitors for the Biathlon. Come to the 'park' immediately to sign up." (Public-shout)
You wroo, "Hiding...?"
'Voksa steps off of the floating disk that carried them up.
'Voksa has arrived.
'Voksa waves, here to spectate!
BunnyHugger says, "Oh, you got a copper for the snowball fight if that's what you mean, Moriar."
BunnyHugger says, "Chitter has it."
Chitter gets it out.
Moriar looks to BunnyHugger, tails wagging.
PatchO'Black steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
PatchO'Black has arrived.
Chitter hands Copper Medal for Snowball Fight (2026) to Moriar.
Patashu ah, yes!
'Voksa applauds for Moriar!
Niny'ah steps off of the floating disk that carried her up.
Niny'ah has arrived.
Moriar purrs loudly.
Niny'ah almost missed!
Niny'ah does some stretching
BunnyHugger says, "Are you competing Niny'ah?"
Niny'ah says, "intend to"
Niny'ah says, "Mystics and Misfits"
Niny'ah says, "am I late"
Niny'ah's attention was IRL'd
BunnyHugger says, "We're just about to start."
Bleu stretches and limbers up.
PatchO'Black opens up the concessions stand! He would mark prices down, if he was actually selling items...
BunnyHugger says, "OK it looks like we have five competitors."
You wroo, "Hey, Niny!"
Vahno says, "Sweet."
BunnyHugger says, "Patashu, Mako, Moriar, Bleu, and Niny'ah."
Vahno says, "i promise not to throw snowballs during the thing."
BunnyHugger says, "Austin will be our referee (OOC: judge/fellow GM)."
Niny'ah says, "So did I miss a briefing?"
BunnyHugger says, "Nope, just about to give it."
Vahno scoops up some snow, packs it and tosses it at Niny.
( Flags are set out to mark the edges of a cross-country skiing course. It wends its way across the snowy landscape, across gentle hills. There are three major obstructions that skiers will encounter along the way: first there is a rugged, rocky outcropping that will have to be traversed, second there is a section of dense evergreen forest with low-hanging branches and snowy shrubs, and finally near the finish line there is an icy pond, lightly dusted with powdered snow. )
Mako Slides up to the starting line. "I'm used to wet conditions and less snow.... here's hoping this doesn't turn into a boondoggle.... (It is absolutely going to. :x)
Niny'ah gets sealed into a black tech hexsuit.
BunnyHugger says, "How this works: there will be two phases, the first being cross-country skiing and the second being shooting. During the skiing phase, you must actually be skiing on your feet or whatever appendages you normally perambulate with. Your skis should be (mostly...) on the ground. No flying! So you know, just try to use good sportsmanship here and be reasonable about it. >:)"
Niny'ah buckles on skis. she's shifted back to her own shape for this.
Patashu gets in position, comically undersized Dragonite wings wiggling, tense.
[OOC] Moriar's legs are very small, and unsure how to play that, "Ostensibly Moriar should take a couple orders of magnitude longer to complete any ground based race."
Bleu skies over to the starting line. "I'm ready. Eat my dust, y'all."
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Maybe we can overlook if Moriar's wings are 'assisting' them."
[OOC] Patashu grins, "I would be fine with it."
You wroo, "Where are you going to get dust on an alpine mountain?"
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Just, like, we'll have you be low to the ground and fakin' it."
Mako says, "Snowpowder?"
Moriar looks to BunnyHugger, "What if I am aboard someone who is skiing? Does the transitive property work?"
BunnyHugger says, "I suppose if you want to team up with someone that way, you're already kind of your own team so it's not really any different."
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Each round, each skier will write ONE pose. After all have finished, the judge will assign an order from best to least-best, to the performance of skiers in the previous round. This can be based on anything the judge chooses but suggested criteria are creativity, artristry, plausibility, and fun factor. TWICE, the judge may choose to assign a catch-up bonus to any one player. The catch-up bonus will result in the chosen racer instantly catching up to the racer immediately ahead of them. Meanwhile, I will also be rolling a die which will randomly determine an additional speed factor. Between each round, I will be providing a commentary, and skiers will be told their current position relative to other skiers so that they can react to this information and effectively RP the next round! Skiers will also be told when they have reached a given landscape feature (rocks, trees, pond) so they can respond to this in the next pose."
[OOC] Patashu roger!
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "got it"
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "I'll give lots of guidance if that doesn't make sense yet."
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Please try not to overthink this too much, if every round takes too long it's going to make Closing Ceremonies run a bit too late for folks and I'd like to avoid that if possible! That goes for both skiers and judges. Also I need to get up early tomorrow and would appreciate things moving quickly."
BunnyHugger says, "Once the skiing has finished, we will all go to the Shooting Range for part 2 and I will explain that segment when we get there."
Mako says, "Ready to go!"
BunnyHugger looks to the referee, "Ready?" Then to the skiers, "Take your marks!"
Austin says, "Ready!"
Patashu crouches low!
Austin grabs a bag of chips from the Roofrigerator.
Mako tenses...
Moriar nods to BunnyHugger, "I am ready!"
[OOC] Bleu says, "Hmm, I gotta go afk for about 5 minutes in a little bit, too, but I'll try to be as fast as I can."
Niny'ah shakes her legs out. "Reaedy."
Bleu nods. "I'm ready."
BunnyHugger says, "On your marks... get set... go! {{Skiers, write your first pose setting out from the starting line! At this point the ground is mostly level snow.}}"
Patashu does something cheeky to get started. You can see he's turning his head over his shoulder, charging something up... and with a *BWOOOSH* a quick fired hyper beam launches into the air (disrupting a cloud formation slightly) for an accelerated headstart, suddenly racing along on his skis as he brings his head back into position and hunches forward!
Moriar holds the strips of paper with 'skis' written on them firming in their beaks as the gryphons flap vigorously and tumble across the snow in the manner of biblically accurate skiers.
Mako puts her ski poles down! She's... uh... not actually good at this, but she has strong upper arms, and gets herself going forward in a somewhat jerky drive across the snow, arms using the poles as they're meant to, pulling herself forward, legs back and forth like a steady, jerky exercise machine. The problems will come later! ..... just don't ask her to, say, stop. Or turn. Or....
Niny'ah kicks off with a push from her ski pole,s, trying to gauge the snowpack - hard, soft, powder... it turns out to be heavy and sticky, and she ends up having to herringbone-step out from the line, trying not to overextert right from the start! This is a stamina race after all.
NBC gets some footage of the beautiful landscape, camera turning with him on top of it, then points it at the skiers as they set out.
Bleu pushes off with his ski-poles, and launches forward across the snow. "Hmm, I wonder if I'll be disqualified if I activate the jet-engines on my skies..." He shrugs, and waits to press that button till he's well away from the starting line. As he spies Patashu shooting by, he says, "Oh hell." He presses a pred button on his right ski-pole, and WHOOSH, he starts skiing forward at a break-neck pace, kicking up snow in his wake. "YAH-HOO-HOY!" Just like Goofy. (You know the sound.)
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "It Snewing here"
PatchO'Black sets out the last of the souvenir caps.
BunnyHugger gets on her announcer microphone, excitedly commentating!
BunnyHugger says, "They're off! Patashu and Niny'ah are neck and neck, with Bleu coming on them quickly Mako just behind Bleu! Moriar are making a valiant effort but are bringing up the rear! {{Skiers may now write their next move!}}"
Patashu pulls up alongside Niny'ah and grins! He's apparently using the self-imposed restriction of 'hovering, flying or jet engines is cheating but anything else is just using your body cleverly'. He wants to save his energy for now, so he's just going to cruise... but if Niny'ah falls behind a little, he absolutely *will* move in front to cut her off with big dragonite body.
Niny'ah hears the Goofy Holler and looks back, Oh Heck. She scrambles sideways in that awkward 'hurrying on skis' way, with a funny-looking high-step gait. "Pata! Watch your back!"
Patashu, in fact, does NOT try to cut Niny'ah off. He's instead gawking and looking over his shoulder at Bleu!!
[OOC] Patashu says, "(I know you said one post per round but a little bit of a reaction seems in the spirit)"
Bleu is still screaming like a banshee as his literal jet-skis send him careening forward, approaching the two figures in front of him at a frightening pace. "Oh heck, outta the waaaaay!" He starts waving an arm frantically, which causes the squirrel to veer toward Patashu, and he can't get his skis to turn off again! "MAAAAKE WAAAAAAY!"
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "If you want to interact a little that's fine, just wanted people to know Austin will judge as soon as he sees something from everyone so he'll probably consider your first one your 'main' pose."
[OOC] Patashu aite!
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "'talking is a free action' rules of sorts?"
Mako is doing her best to keep on the ground. This going to be haaaard. o.o But she blinks as she sees Bleu scream past...... quite literally, in this case! While this does leave her going PFfft pff pfft! As she blinks her way out of the impromptu snowpile, it does leave her a rather useful clean path! It's not quite like using another car's draft but she'll take it! Zooom! She uses the path to follow!
Moriar continues their impression of feathery tumbleweeds of wings, being shorter than the branches hang low. The gryphons bounce off of the occasional shrubbery. There are occasionally chirruping sounds.
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "That sounds good, Niny'ah! Want to keep the fun factor after all."
[OOC] Austin says, "Yeah, I figure the rules are to give a framework for play, not to crush the improvisational nature from it."
[OOC] Bleu says, "Okay, I need to AFK a few, be back as quick as I can."
Ping steps off of the floating disk that carried her up.
Ping has arrived.
Ping bounces in.
Ping waves.
PatchO'Black hugs Ping.
PatchO'Black sets out a variety of treats in special "closing day" containers.
Myril steps off of the floating disk that carried her up.
Myril has arrived.
Myril speeds off with a rumbling whir, PK Teleporting away.
Myril has left.
Athares steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
Athares has arrived.
[OOC] Athares says, "There we go"
[OOC] Patashu says, "hello Ping and Athares! we're two rounds into skiing atm"
[OOC] Athares says, "Oh- shoot I forgot it was six-aught"
[OOC] Patashu says, "(I think possibly it moved when it rescheduled?)"
BunnyHugger grabs the microphone excited. "Wow! This is going to be really close all the way, I can see that! Mako has caught up and it's now too close to call between Mako, Niny'ah, and Patashu! Bleu looks to be just behind but it's a close one! Moriar are... doing their best but at some distance! All except Moriar are currently coming up on the first major terrain obstacle, the rocky segment. This rocky outcropping is going to require them to use caution and also more exertion to get over it! How will they handle it???
[OOC] Athares says, "It was"
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Yes I had to change the time and move it earlier so that I could avoid preempting closing ceremonies if possible."
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Skiers can write their next move!"
[OOC] Mako says, "To be clear, is the outcropping the "On an edge" kind?"
Athares sees- he'll be settling in to spectate. Ah well, the slope shall remain!
Patashu is almost too distracted gawking at Bleu catching up to be ready for the rocks up ahead! Ack! While he swerves out of the way to give the rocketeer room, he's coming up on his first rock... He braces himself for impact, and gets sent flying, coming down landing with a THUMP of both skis, wobbling a little bit! @wo: That could have gone better...
( The rocky segment is a rugged group of boulders which will require some climbing and could be perilous! )
Moriar slides to a short stop to regard the rocky segment, then simply trotting along between the rocks. The gryphons continue to hold the pieces of paper in their beaks, striving to qualify for the event.
Niny'ah takes a moment at the start of the rocky section to step to one side and pull a set of rubber caps out of her pocket and wedge them onto the tips of her ski poles for safer control as she high-steps into the rocks, taking every step with 3 or 4 cautious test pokes with her ski poles to be sure that they're not going to suddenly shift under her weight. She's hugging to one side where the rocks are smaller, but so are the gaps between them, requiring extra care; it's easy to see why: She keeps glancing back at the careening Bleu!
Mako whoops. Okay, rocks! Problem, problem! She is now going At Speed. Slowing down is NOT an option. First, she hits the small ones, and rumbles along making a noise not unlike a cantaloupe in a tumble dryer. *thunkatythumple* Then the bigger rocks are in the way. She leeeans to one side, then to the other, narrowly missing several rocks. Then... hooboy, big rock in the way! She takes one ski pole and spikes it into the ground for pivoting, and ends up going around and around comically for a moment, before pinballing off around the boulder at an angle... and right off a few more. From above, it might look like a vigorous pinball game. .... please don't let there be a multiball..... She does eventually come out the other side, looking a little worse for wear. @.o
NBC zooms in on the action at the rocks. He squawks to himself with apparent excitement.
[OOC] Bleu says, "I'm back!"
[OOC] Bleu says, "Catching up."
[OOC] Austin says, "That's for me to decide, thank you."
[OOC] Patashu snickers
'Voksa falls asleep.
'Voksa wakes up.
Bleu narrowly misses colliding with Patashu, but then he sees the rocky outcropping. "Oh shiiiii...AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The squirrel screams again as the jet-skis hit the first rock, sending the terrified rodent soaring into the air, fully three feet off the ground for a terrifying 30 seconds, then *WHAM!* he slams into the rocks, and shoots along with a very rocky, bumpy and bone-rattling ride, almost totally out of control and clinging to his poles for dear life.
[OOC] Patashu says, "the toon logic of 'carefully navigate through vs just full send it' on display here..."
BunnyHugger says, "Whoa! This has been a lot of action!"
PatchO'Black gets BunnyHugger a beverage as she ccommentates.
Vahno says, "...Oh dear. Do we have a medic on staff?"
Austin says, "After the second round, Vahno, when we give everyone guns."
BunnyHugger says, "Niny'ah has made a huge gain as her competitors have come to trouble in this section and she's now got a clear lead coming out of the rocky segment and heading into the woods! Patashu was slowed down but recovered and has also cleared the rocks, behind Niny'ah! Mako is now in the third position, Bleu is in fourth and what's this???? Moriar is still in back but is gaining significant ground with their slow and steady strategy! {{Niny'ah, Patashu and Mako are heading into the forest, Bleu and Moriar aren't quite there yet. The evergreen forest is dense and there is no straight path through it so you will have to weave around trees and possibly avoid being hit in the head with branches! Skiers write your next move!}}"
PatchO'Black gets out the rare souvenir soft body armor...
Athares . o O ( I'm hoping the spills go 'toon style. If not, I know a good bit of first aid at least. )
Patashu thinks about using another hyper beam blast to speed up but - no, the forest is going to be real tricky. He's a big guy so he has to take every turn extremely carefully. Leaning left, leaning right, occasionally bashing or bumping up against a branch or trunk. >wo: He's trying to keep away from Niny'ah and Mako to not make matters even worse...
Mako is now slightly wobbly but still making progress forward, using whoever is in front of her as a path-clearer whenever possible. It's not the fastest process, but it IS probably the safest until we get a nice straightaway..... She manages to avoid wallsplatting around any large trunks, but she is not nearly as lucky when it comes to the low hanging branches. *paft* >.< *Paft* @.@ *Paft* uwu *Paft* -x- *Paft* Q.Q
Moriar appears a bit excited as they approach the forest, going so far as to leap up and bound about across the branches. The gryphons seem to be excited to have an opportunity to get some skiing time off the ground, still firmly holding the pieces of paper in their beaks. The path may not be the swiftest, but it is the one that Moriar prefers.
Niny'ah hm. hah. This should work well. She's been methodical and precise thus far, and sees no reason to change that now! She takes the rubber caps off her ski poles and sets off in that awkward high-step of cross-country skiing , Even as large as her stature is, she's still smaller and more agile than Patashu, and this lets her make good time, slicing thorugh openings the much wider dragonite could never hope to fit through. However, she has it even worse than mako, because 'well cleared' for the nekomata is chin-height on her! "Gah!!" Remember Athares's tactic with his Snowtrapped trees in snowball? Yeah, This is going to happen to her. Several times.
[OOC] Patashu says, "Total Moriar Victory incoming"
Bleu wishes Patchy had given him some body armor. He hits another rock, going airborne for a second time, yelling all the while, and then slams back into the snow, looking up to see the rocks are thinning out... Only to be replaced by trees. "Oh, son of a...." He starts frantically mashing the button on his pole, trying to shut off his jet engines, finally sighing happily when they start sputtering out. He bobs and weaves around the bigger trunks, but luckily the squirrel is fairly short, so he misses most of the branches, too.
BunnyHugger bangs her paw on her announcer's table with excitement. "Niny'ah still has the lead but Patashu is nearly caught up! It's too close to call between Mako and Bleu... but what's this? Incredible! MORIAR HAS CAUGHT UP AND PASSED MAKO AND BLEU!!!! Niny'ah, and Patashu have made it out of the woods but now Mako hasn't made it out yet, and Bleu and Moriar are also head through the trees! {{Skiers, write your next line! No one has quite made it to the frozen pond yet but Niny'ah is very close to it!}}
Patashu aha! A nice straight stretch up ahead! Patashu (making sure to aim it nice and high so none of the other skiiers are in the way) fires another quickfire hyper beam over his shoulder for an immediate burst of speed! Though he gets pushed down firmly, crouching, legs wobbling at awkward angles before he stabilizes himself to try and maintain as much as possible without falling over! Whoo!
BunnyHugger further clarifies, "Mako and Bleu are seemingly tied as far as I can see into those woods but Moriar has pulled just ahead of them!"
Moriar's expressions seem less enthusiastic as the gryphons return to ground level to continue bounding along across the snow. Upon transition to the frozen pond, Moriar stumbles into belly flops across the ice with vigorous flapping to provide thrust as the gryphons hockey puck themselves across the pond with a cloud of dusted snow in their wake.
Niny'ah is visibly puffing with the effort of keeping up her speed, deflecting branches, and trying not to get distracted with the other competitors. She can see the frigid glint of the frozen pond up ahead through the trees, promising to be Fast but Perilous.
Mako continues to slalom her way through the trees, albeit now at a bit of a punch-drunk tilt. She slides left around one tree, right around another, and then *Whack* A low hanging branch clobbers her. She slows but does not stop. "...and that's a red card for machester..." she mumbles, before shaking her head loose. What's a little head trauma when you're on the go? But she does use this opportunity to re-align and launch herself forward once again.... THIS time keeping her head down!
Bleu crouches down, taking a more aerodynamic stance as he relies on his arm power to get him the rest of the way through the forest. He can't see anyone else, he just keeps propelling himself forward, dodging trees and skiing under the branches like a small, stealthy creature. But around this time his jet-engines start sputtering back to life, and he groans. "Oh dear, not again..." He suddenly shoots forward through a straightaway, managing to dodge trees, but rapidly gaining speed as he can't get the jets to turn off again.
[OOC] PatchO'Black sighs. "I'm sorry, folks. I'm going to need to call it a night. I wish could stay up to see the closing, but I need to rest."
[OOC] Patashu says, "Good night"
[OOC] Mako says, "Bed well"
[OOC] PatchO'Black hugs all!
PatchO'Black takes out his calico flute and play a short tune, taking him away...
PatchO'Black has left.
BunnyHugger says, "Wow, this is getting tighter again! Niny'ah maintains a short lead over Patashu as they head onto the ice! This could be a very dangerous segment... a chance to use the ice to 'skate' and add speed, but also a chance to lose control and wipe out! Moriar has a nose... or three noses... ahead of Mako as they start on the ice. Bleu is now trailing by several lengths and hasn't quite made it to the final icy stretch yet! {{It's pretty much guaranteed that Niny'ah is going to finish this turn and probably Patashu. One or two others may also! Everyone is getting close to the finish line which is just after the pond... anything could happen on that ice so have fun writing your next line! Go for it!}}"
BunnyHugger says, "They're approaching the finish, I expect to see people using all their reserves!"
[OOC] Patashu says, "making a fortune roll..."
roll 1d20
Rolling 1d20:
-----------------------------------
* 1d20 => 4
-----------------------------------
> Total = 4
[OOC] Patashu says, "it was nice knowing you all :]"
Patashu aha! Here we go! Minimum friction. MAXIMUM SPEED. He spins right around, facing backwards on the ice... and with a BWOOOOOOOSHHHH he fires his hyperbeam backwards and into the air! Going faster, faster...! But he overestimates how hard he's pushing himself down in the process, or how much he's heating up the ice. It starts to crack, weaken, melt... *SPLOOOOOSH!* In he goes! He's going to do his best to swim to shore and climb out and resume, but that's a serious time loss.
Moriar transitions from pond back onto ground based snow leading into the finish line as a resumption of their biblically accurate tumblewings again, flop-flap-rolling across the snow in a flurry of inelegance and feathers across the line.
NBC has disconnected.

Austin . o O ( We now rejoin our broadcast day, already in progress. )
NBC anxiously checks his feed as it gets interrupted for a second.
Niny'ah sets her stance Way Down Low to get more stability; she knows ice Too Well to take chances with her height, even though she pushes off with her ski poles to build up some speed; it's risky but she's trying to keep ahead of Patashu's ... Heck. Fuckit we ball. She pumps her poles against the ice, blowing foggy breaths to rival Patashu's mawcannon, nostrils flaring as she tries to keep the dragonite from blasting past her!
[OOC] Patashu says, "you missed nothing, NBC"
NBC waves a foot to Patashu.
Mako iiiiiceeeee.... She keeps going. She cna't stop. No, really. She can't stop. If she stops it might be unpleasantly cold. What she IS doing, however, is leaving a dangerous serious of cracks behind, having to skirt AROUND the massive hole Pata made. .oO (Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap). She puts her poles down for more speed. She may actually be hydroplaning at this point, depending on how thick the ice is. Or isn't! o.o She is also more or less nose-down for least wind resistance....
[OOC] Austin says, "Bleu? Are you in there?"
Bleu isn't giving up that easily, and with the jets sputtering back to life he makes a fateful decision. He flips a switch on the left pole, marked [LUDICROUS SPEED], and with another loud yell the skis zoom forward out of the forest, across the snow, toward the ice, with no real way to control his trajectory, but it's a risk worth taking to pass Mako at the very least. He's taken a low profile, and then skids across the ice, which makes ominous cracking noises in his wake, not helped by the jet exhaust. He's coming up on Patashu's hole, and with what little control he can maintain he sticks a pole down to skirt around it, but the ice is still cracking dangerously all the way. But he's shooting toward Mako's rear and trying to ignore all the ice cracking he can hear.
BunnyHugger says, "Here they come toward the finish line!"
BunnyHugger says, "Niny'ah has maintained a clear lead going across the line! Patashu, despite a setback costing them gold, has scrambled out and into second..."
Patashu whews. That was scarily close to blowing it all just to try to secure first. @w@
BunnyHugger says, "Despite a slow start Moriar will take home bronze!"
Patashu applauds Niny'ah and Moriar!
Moriar's performance with a gun has yet to be accounted for in scoring?
BunnyHugger says, "Mako has just been edged out, taking fourth according to the photo finish camera... and Bleu is coming in fifth."
BunnyHugger says, "Oh, of course!"
Niny'ah side-hugs Patashu!
BunnyHugger says, "I forgot about shooting!"
Patashu hugs! Is very cold and wet
BunnyHugger laughs at herself.
BunnyHugger says, "This is just the finish order for the skiing. Silly me."
You wroo, "Shooting! How can you forget about Shooting! ;>"
Mako slooowly skids to a halt past the finish. And then slowly tips over sideways. "Owie. Now we get guns? owo"
Austin nods, "Yes, next comes the shooting."
BunnyHugger says, "Scratch all that medal talk!"
Moriar slides to a stop, ears perked and listening for guidance on how to shooting.
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "But if you'd like to take a chance to finish RP'ing your crossing the finish line please do!"
Bleu zooms straight into a snowbank, and vanishes from view.
You wroo, "... Think we lost Bleu."
Niny'ah sticks her arm into the snowbank and rummages for Bleu
Austin says, "That's all right, we can afford to not get the deposit back."
BunnyHugger says, "Our finish order for the race is Niny'ah, Patashu, Moriar, Mako, Bleu! It was sure an exciting one!"
[OOC] Moriar does not recall how to do the shooting gallery.
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "Thanks for your good sportsmanship, this was an experiment and I'll adjust length next time but will probably run again."
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "For the record Austin never used the 'catchup' options."
[OOC] Patashu says, "I thought it was simple and fun. :3"
[OOC] BunnyHugger says, "That was in case someone got hopelessly behind so they could always have some hope."
BunnyHugger says, "This next part will be shorter."
[OOC] Austin says, "Yeah, I never felt like something hit that rule-of-cool moment where an instant catchup made sense. Lot of good moments, but you can't give _everyone_ first."
BunnyHugger says, "Fortunately!"
[OOC] Mako says, "Cartoonishly hazardous encounters are more funny."
Athares falls asleep.
BunnyHugger says, "For this part we'll be going over to the Olympic Shooting Gallery, where I'll give you instructions."
Patashu salutes.
Moriar watches with interest, waiting for instruction.
Mako says, "How do we get there?"
BunnyHugger says, "To do that, follow the portal to the shooting gallery with the command 'sr'"

You step through the portal and come out in the shooting range. It disappears behind you.
Shooting Range(#23942RC)
A long grassy meadow amid the trees is home to the Olympic Shooting Range. At the eastern end of the range are the shooter's stations, little grassy pits with a footpath behind them. A sign by each station bears an identifying number, and red and yellow pennons wave in the breeze between each station. These are both decorative and practical, helping the shooters gauge the wind as they flutter.
Along one side of the range is a covered wooden grandstand, with red and yellow bunting decorating the roof and front wall. One end of the grandstand features a large glass <tank> to accomodate dolphins, seals, mermaids and other aquatic people.
At the far end of the range are the targets, with a tall grassy berm behind them for a backstop. Some wise guy has painted body outlines on the grass with groundskeepers paint. A last-minute mowing has subdued the outlines to some extent, although they remain visible.
N.B. Items and places marked with <pointy brackets> can be looked at.
The sunless sky slowly turns orange and purple in the cool, still air. It's getting on 5 pm in a sense.
