there is always a moment of quietness before it happens. the crowd, previously boisterous and bubbling with energy, settles down. the organizer raises his hand, and then there is peace in the middle of the perfectly set up chaos that is the pyramids. he moves calmly between each car, words whispered to the racers to make sure everything was set and they were good to go, hands swiftly taking bets along the way. every night he stands in front of them all, every night he counts down until his hand is brought down quickly in signal for them to go, every night that serves as cue for the crowd to go back to being loud. not tonight.
the lights are what they see first. bold streaks of blue and red that splatter across their bodies and blinds them all for a moment. the sirens come next. and if anyone wasn’t intimidated before, they are now. the sizzling excitement turns into panic. they are here.
our first event will happen as a race goes sideways and the police interferes before it can begin. of course, a few characters were required at the race, and the list following contains the name of those that were present: rundet, nara, romilly, lucas, keziah. if your character is not in it, you may decide whether they were there or not, but the consequences will affect everyone as this is the first time, since last year, that the cops have actively shown up during an event. if you wish for your character to have a closer contact with the police ( arrest, close escape, injured during escape --- not by the police ), just send a quick message to this blog. a post will be made with those details later on.
events influence the entire group. whether you take part with threads, selfparas, texts, any other form of media is up to you. this one will begin june 7th --- 3pm est until june 14th, and will kickstart overall in character interactions. anything started during that period, can of course, go on as long as necessary. i suggest that if you plan on posting open starters heavily based on the event, you specify it, here’s an example. you may also, of course, have closed threads with people during this. --- message us if you have any doubts/suggestions, and don’t get caught !
