AIR RACING
It's a series held by Red Bull (the Red Bull Air Races, creatively) in which they set up a track for small racing planes to run timed. It's like Nascar but far less southern, almost never held in the states, less crashing, and PLANES. They call it the fastest motor sport on planet earth.
I quite enjoy it ^_^ There aren't any races happening right now, as far as I know, but I've been watching the recent finals. It's really entertaining, though the coverage isn't as good as other sporting events, probably because it's done by an energy drink company and is still somewhat new.
WHAT
THIS IS A THING
WTF
THIS IS AMAZING
I WANT TO QUIT EVERYTHING AND BECOME AN AIR RACER
In other news, how is everyone's week going?
I've been doing war games and crisis simulations in Washington DC, and thought everyone should know hat the people who run our country also resort to role playing to make decisions hahaha.

Post will come.
Someday.
In the near future of our world.
No rush for any parties. I'm pretty busy here in DC so I'm looking at more of a weekly posting pace rather than a daily one.
oooh, Klaus spittin' fire over here!
Well, it shouldn't take long for Mat to literally spit fire.
"Oh, stop being such a toadie, Aaron." Klaus shook off his friend's hand like he was batting away a mosquito, spilling a liberal amount of beer in the process. "Calm down, Genzken hasn't got ears in here, no one's going to report you for not being a walking propaganda poster."
Klaus was not a tactful drunk. Already more straightforward than most people were comfortable with, Klaus on alcohol tended to vocalize all the unpleasant truths that everyone was thinking but no one wanted to acknowledge. This, combined with the fact that he knew Aaron, was deeply confused that Aaron had not sided with him, made for a very belligerent professor.
Mat blinked. "Did you just call Aaron a toadie?"
"Well, he's clearly not an independent thinker right now."
Mat frowned, shifting uncomfortably. "None of us are independent, we all depend on the Party for research funds, you know that. Unless you've completely lost all interest in the sphere-"
"You know the sphere is not the issue," Klaus snapped. "The issue is the directive. Of fucking course I want to keep researching. I want to take that sphere apart and figure out what makes it tick and understand the fundamental nature of the universe-"
"Then why-"
Klaus slammed his glass on the counter. "Because I don't want to be told what to do! I'm the physicist! I control the project! I decided what questions we answer, and when, and not some idiot medical officer from the idiot establishment."
But the research pace was not the issue. Klaus knew what the issue was, if it took several rounds of drinks for him to admit it. Ros's words echoed in his mind- Mengele, prisoner, cage- and he knew, God, he knew what they wanted with the sphere and why they wanted him to hurry.
"The lab needs to be clear on one thing. We will not be making weapons," Klaus said abruptly. "First, I don't know how to make weapons. Second, the boys on the front don't need magical weapons. They're doing a great job slaughtering half the men on this continent as it were. If machine guns aren't good enough for them, I don't know what is," he griped, forgetting that Konrad was standing right next to him.

Welcome back, friend.
I'll have a post up by tomorrow morning to egg the dialogue along but anyone should feel free to jump in. The idea is to get into a fight so be as contentious as you please.

Guys seriously I can't stop think about this
Magic needs to come with consequences
The consequences have to be painful
It's the only way a force like this could exist in the universe
Aside from a shorter life span how else could magic adversely affect them??

"Anything that bestowed other-worldly control did not simply attach to human beings with no adverse effects. Humans were not made to do these things. Ros did not need any semblance of a science degree to see the gravity and danger of the situation."
Whoa okay so Adrianes last post got me thinking.
Laws of physics. Action and reaction. What goes up must come down, etc. what the Zauber team found seems to violate the laws of physics, but what if it doesn't? What if it obeys the fundamental law of conservation of energy?
In other words, they have magical abilities- the ability to channel one firm of energy into another- but it must come at a trade off. Where are they siphoning that energy from?
What if every time they used magic, they shortened their life span? For example, after a large outburst of magic, Klaus might find some gray hairs.
You can see his that'd be terrifying in the hands of the nazis- they'd be complete fine with producing an army of magically enhanced soldiers with very short life spans...
Thoughts?
