Marinalia (Romus) Olympus

Old Sol Airport race testing.
Saturday Morning

---

Marla gave him a cold look, they where the ones who there to see if the car was able to win a race, they where going to be spending alot of money and there name was going to be on thr car. On a car that failed and lost. They would look bad. Thw driver was asshole but tommey seemed to understand the odds and what mattered.

how polite. You guys want your money?

Remember to beat him Mali! Get thr

Heading off to join the others stood by the helicopter with binoculars, they had a good chance ce of winning at least, she was a professional pilot. He was a race team boss. Hopefully anyway. After his outburst she so wanted Marinalia to win.

Don t worry Marla!

Il take em!

Watching Joel storm off and head to the trail or she fired up the plane and began to radio and check runway clear before powering up and slowly beginning to roll before eventually hitting the gas and powering up noise taking off skyward past the trailor and government hanger before she was airborne.

Once the practice lap was over she began to hammer it down the straight run, through thr first gates a second or two behind the car and hitting the smoke triggers sending a plume of alternating red white and blue smoke from the tail genatorators. The first corner was behind the car, its engine was great in the corners, tighter turns and wheels gave it every advantage on the curves.

The aircraft hit hard into straights, swapping sharply from left to right and almost missing the 10 degree level of the pylon and clipping the top of one losing a second penalty. G forces hitting hard and constant changes aggressively flying on te edge of thr planes controls. Each straight she was gaining ground on the race car below, the engines power hammering into the main straight before the final set of corners and pulling ahead of the race car finaly, she had a second to gain before she won.

The final set of corners was intense and the aircraft flew hard and into the corners, forcing every little inch from the aircraft and cutting tight as possible on every bit. The last few gates passed by in a blur of motion, gates and rapid yaw tilts. Each one sharper than last and managed to finish the last turn before pulling away and going into a slower more relaxed loop round the airfield.

Even the experienced pilot was thrown off and the needed a few seconds to get her head back together before radioing to ground. Swinging in lower and looping over so the colours merged and racing over the area where race teams and others gathered.

ground.. What's the time on that run... 1.58.42 that's a win right... Win! Yes told ya Marla! Yes... We won, told ya team air will win!

Good race Tommy... Good race

Doing a loop then coming back in ground Control. Thanks for the heads up. Over ground control!

Knowing that Joel would be keyed into her feed, she added team air hoping he would reconise. Though not entirely impolite, she had to thank Tommy.

Looping round slowly and thinking that despite her fuel supply, she had plenty of time, began to being Into a controlled descent down to landing speeds and safely bring into line along the main runway.

Marla. Keep my coffee warm. Be down soon. Over.

@PrinceAlexus I guess it's a matter of whether Tommy would have called ahead to either request a paramedic or to just let them know. Or if he didn't and would just call if there was an accident. I don't have any control over him so it's your call.

@Mattchstick

I'm not controlling Tommy but far as I'd say. Any planned air race would likely at least send out a notification for air collisions and such.

Just a basic notification like air race, Saturday 08.00 to 12.00, old sol Airport. I doubt they would run a track race and air race without notifying the emergency services just as a precaution.

He could always just be on standby, or drive by precaution. There needs not to be a big fuss. Il just leave it up to you how you want to proceed.

@PrinceAlexus I'll try to post later tonight. How well-known is this airplane/car race? Is it something a rescue squad would know about? I think races have emergency personnel on standby. It might be interesting if you decide for an accident to happen for Kriss to be there or at least listening for a call.

@Mattchstick

Its a little private thing between sponsors and a race team so less well known but viable as there's a pink race plane doing high speed laps.

We where not planning a accident bit thr rescue squad could attend and watch the race and maybe talk to people. A low flying aircraft and race car probbly should have a medical team on standby.

Victoria Darya Romus

The old Sol airport & The Final Round Armory . Saturday Morning

Marinalia watched as he ran his hand over the custom built race car, from the sound of the engine earlier it was most definitely not running anything remotely street standard, yep. he was defenitely in love with that car. sometimes you could just tell, Wings, definitely happy to have them mean something other than a bad memory. Tommy was heading over, it seemed that the race was ready to go.

Yep, Well im sure the race will be worth your while.

Nope, it was not easy watching other people do the job you want to be doing, agh seems your friend wants you

The two seemed to be getting more and more heated over the whole idea of the air race, both refusing too give ground but Tommy had a tongue that seemed to pronounce anything without trying, and several pit crew, and her family seemed to notice the fraction. The plane was fueled ready and had been worked on half the night by a exhausted mechanic to have it ready to go, they where not canceling the race now.

Well im ready, Whichever you two decide wants to lose?

Guys? you want couples counseling? or is it parenting classes?

Confident, it had been a while since she had done anything like this kind of race but seeing them bicker slightly and argue, they would not have there full race heads on. a little bit of teasing might keep tat advantage a little longer. Her aunt heading over slightly slower as Versaian and Maxamillion waited by the helicopter leaving diplomacy to Marla, Rather clear English Accent obvious over the Americans.

Are we ready yet, we saw all your specs... No race, no money Gentlemen... we need to see if this machine matches up to the billing. Or shall i ask Marinalia to Fly us to centre point for Lunch?

Marla never was one to mince worlds being a doctor, and a sugoen at that. working in Trauma she had seen ernough blood, guts and bodily fluids than a person should, it would take alot to put her on the back foot.

Oh well may as well be Polite MR Grumpy Knome,

, Joel... well This is my Aunt Dr Marla Olympus, My Grandfather, Maxmallion is the man in the dark coat CEO of Olympus Heavy Engineering, and the one next to him, My father Vesarian who captains a ship for a UK and Russian shipping company.

Oh.. can you hold this for me?

Adding a slight Challenge to her into, She should at least introduce them and maybe things might be smoothed out, Joel seemed to just love cars, surely he would see Sponsors where needed. Race cars cost as much as planes, and Planes cost way too much money. Handing over her coffee in a keep warm cup to Marla while she was flying, doing high speed turns, coffee and electronics was a bad idea.

Turning to TOmmmey with a smile and a pulling her long blonde hair into a pony tail, reaching for a tinted visored full face helmet in a reserved and pale pink, with her name painted in a ornate script sat in the planes cockpit.

Well i have mine... if your ready.. I cut short the Winter time Ball to be here this morning.

---

Victoria was slightly nervous placing down the photo, he was too close to that woman to be anyone but this Ana maybe, an arm round her and seemingly happy moment from old times. Shaking her head at the offer of a hand and walking over unsteadily but by herself, he could not help her with everything and he might as well see the full picture of her. unsteady, scars and all. Honesty early on hurt less than several months down the line.

I can manage, thanks though. The real.. me. No miracle cures, just me, this is me now. I must have offended one of the three crones in a past life!

Feeling like she had finaly got that one off her shoulders, a slight wave of relief as he tossed the photo in the bin, it was probbly for her sake and such he did it but it atleast confirmed the past might not be snapping on there heals quite as badly as it had at the start of the ball. Her own past was not exactly perfect but atleast for now it was content to stay underwater and stop biting.

Ok.. admitly i probably still have a few old photo's at home... Long story short.. little miss gun runners daughter was not compatible with there career.

Though moving to a new city id say came with a bonus or two!

more positive to the end, yes things had gone badly but they where also on the up, long as little mr deathstar was too busy blowing up alderon and not aiming at them. Looking at a open door, racks of tools and machines visable in the dark of a workshop type area, that must be forge.

Tea... Lady Grey if you have any... YOul have to work harder to turn me to the bean side.

Use the strainer luke!

Least your commute is short form this address

Laughing and trying to turn the morning abit more posetive, the old picture still niggled and poked. could she match up to that woman in the photo? would things work out happily ever after or with a nacho hat and a tub of icecream? Only the three crones knew that and they where not exactly on her list of people she could text or email.

Astrid Peterson

The Mayor's Party with Fluffy

Dwarves, Dresses and Dancing

---

Astrid looked up, she had waved to Red and her sister a few times in passing but normaly she was busy working, shopping or just wanting to get inside on the cold winter nights and into the warmth of home. Her brother had brought off her though he always seemed to want to haggle the price down abit lower, but he was running a business after all.

Fluffy made a slow and careful step forward and smelled Hope abit before playfully licking her hand, with Astrid keeping a aye on her knowing she still a abit of a puppy at heart despite being a gentle giant.

hey. Yeah, Astrid Peterson, the cottage with the pink door.

Yeah, met Red a few times.. He always refused my offer of a tea and tried to haggle me down!

Laughing slightly, thr good mood was infectious and it seemed though that thr party had a magic of its own. Unless you where a blacksmith that was. Compliments, questions about Fluffy, least it seemed this social gathering would not be too painful for a newcomer and the village was welcoming. So much more than the city and larger towns.

She's Fluffy, my sister thought I needed a companion when I left home, I had her since she was a puppy. She a softy Don, t worry.

Thank you, you look nice, I thought I Better try for thr mayor! First Big event I had chance to attend and its always fun to dress up now and again.


Everyone got abit nervous meeting relative strangers, least events with Fluffy she could pretend that her dog needed a fuss or so when she wanted to buy herself some time.

no worries... I tend to talk to my dog and hope she softens them up with puppy dog eyes!

HEY. red, il get your Iron ore tommorow afternoon. Before you sneak off!

Marinalia (Romus) Olympus

Old Sol Airport race testing.
Saturday Morning

---

Maxamillion greeted Tommy, indroducing his daughter before getting down to the business of the day, the race, the sponsorship and the pink air racer sat on the run way. Olympus heavy engineering had sponsored Sol City race for some years as a good way to advertise outside European region, this year though to distract from there previous issues, Polar star had joined them in backing a local team, hoping to change the naritive alot. Vesarian Romus pulled up in slightly battered rental car joining the group after waving to his daughter who seemed to be charming the competition. Tommy had presented a intresting opertunity but it was not time to see of he had a race winning car or of his talk was all hot air lik the kind filling up the air race towers.

The morning was fairly cold, coffee cups steamed but most of the snow was gone and sky was clear. The winds where low and seemed ideal for a what they had planned for this morning. Returning her fathers wave, she would have to ask Marla after about Vesarian and Maria. Had 20 years changed things or what. The cagey questions, asking after her and both refusing to give solid answers had everyone else's minds racing away.

Marilania waited Sipping her overly sweet coffee giving the car a once over as Joel climbed out of the drivers seat. A large race team, pit crew, it was alot more than one man and a garage affair."Chicky" would of been presuming abit much but she come to learn it was fairly harmless over in Sol, wait. Did he not know about the race or anything. She did not know the sponsor details, but she had been told about the fact she was there to race him.

hey. Seems your freind thinks you should talk to me!

Came out here to do a little air racing, first chance I've had to fly in over a week. Feeling too grounded! Also doing my Grandfather and Aunt a favour, needed a pilot they could trust.


So, he did not know?
Must be, on her glance over she had spotted the man who looked like he nudged Joel out thr car, was he related, they looked related anyway. Giving Joels dad a cheerful wave, she was in a good mood as finally had got back her flight status, low morning sun glinting off her gold wings and silvery thread in one of her various patches she had picked up on flight jacket.

so this is your Mona Lisa then?

Want to bet? Second place time pays for lunch?
Team air vs the groundhogs?

They finaly gave back my flight status, best morning this week!


Looking over to the air race pylons that imitated thr track somewhat, thr tall inflatable towers where rather large, and the last one or two where being finished up by a air pump on a pickup truck. Sipping her coffee and smiling, it seemed it would be a fun morning.
