Gyun seems to have finally gotten a handle on his bird. It takes him a moment to register that someone is attempting to converse with him in the middle of a race. A dragon! Weirdly it isn't even banter, it's quite polite. He was given to understand that during competitions it was normal to speak to opponents in a tone that was not entirely respectful in order to get their hackles up! ... Not that he would ever do that, he doesn't see the point and it seems mean. "Gyun!" he replies simply, because he is not the most talkative creature, but he's trying.
At this point he realizes, finally that his mount is struggling and begins to slow down, petting the bird's neck and then rubbing the back of his own. Riding this creature is actually quite hard, he's bouncing rather aggressively in the saddle and it's causing him just a little bit of discomfort! He's had worse, but only in conveyances with better restraints. He waves pleasantly to the dragony person, maybe they'll have more time to converse after the race, or during, though he doesn't imagine one can have conversation and win at the same time. He's certainly going to do his best though.

| one little spark of imagination~ a dream can be a dream come true "Gyun huh! Well it's very nice to meet you Gyun! I hope you're having as much fun with the race as I am!" the dragon answered back with a smile and a wave of his own. It was easy to tell the lil guy was riding for the first time too. Figment hoped to all goodness that they would be able to stay in the saddle! That's a long way down for someone that small, Figment of all figments should know. But it seemed that unlike Mr. Cat, the little lion would have a tough time chatting and racing, that's okay though! There was always more time for fun and playing after the race was done, those cards this place had looked like a blast! "Well you be careful Gyun! I hope to see you after the race is over!~" Figment would gently smack on Rainbow Outlaw's side. "Let's go, Rainbow! Woosh!" the chocobo excitedly warked and ruffled its wings, excited that it was finally getting to go full tilt. Leaning its neck down the bird would start to rapidly accelerate.
Action 1 & 2: Rainbow Outlaw accelerates twice! Speed now 4 Blocks!
With wind whipping wildly through feather and scale, the dragon made sure to hold on tight to Rainbow's neck, taking extra care not to choke the bird. Of course, the chocobo likely didn't feel much from what mostly amounted to a hug. Still in Figment's grasp though was the curious magicked item he obtained from the treasure box just moments ago. No time like the present they say! Tossing the item up into the air, Rainbow Outlaw's speed increased even further, leaving Figment clinging for dear life and flapping like a scarf hanging from the bird's neck! "Wheeeeee!~"
Action 3: Sprint Shoes consumed! Summons a quick burst of speed for 1 post w/ no stamina reduction. This will move your chocobo two additional blocks forward.

Location: Gold Saucer Mood: Competitive Status: Well Once more, his Chocobo got tired. Poor, poor thing.
"Steady, buddy. Soon you will rest" he promissed, petting his bird once more. Looking over his shoulder, Ramza realized his strategy was working. The distance between him and the other competitors was widening. He was the one who would dictate the pace of the race, not the other way around. Naturally, this came at the cost of his bird's stamina, but he hoped he could walk the fine line between maximum performance and minimal cost. It was a bet, a gamble, but he thought it would be better to be ahead and struggle to remain ahead and being behind and struggling to catch up, when the race moved to its later portions.
Still, now was time to let his bird rest. He slightly pulled the reins, telling his bird to hold down a bit.
Ramza spends one action decelerating to 3 blocks/post, trying to let his bird rest up.

| ❝ Ramza and his horsebird king have taken a surprising lead, despite their struggled start. But that seems of little importance as his bird keeps taking hits while lathered. As most of these giant chickens seem to be...
Gyun breaks his lathered and seems to be able to keep up his banter with race partners so eloquently. Are you sure he's related to us nya? I don't think Moombas are actually cats. Never the less he seems to soothe his bird out of Lathered successfully thanks to slowing down a few blocks and a few well placed pets!
Figment launches ahead, kicking up speed to try and take the crown from the king! Oh and what's this?! Meow! Sprint shoes have been used, boosting his bird without wasting stamina!
Ramza seems to finally take the hint and slow down, but his bird is still struggling against lathered. Will the king lose his crown as they are currently in first place?!
The others are still lagging along, but will it be enyaaaauff?!

Location: Gold Saucer Mood: Competitive Status: Well Despite slowing down, his Chocobo had not recovered. He sighed, frustrated - but not at the bird. Rather, at the circumstances.
"Come on, buddy. You can do it. You can do it! Keep going!" He said, holding the reins firmly. His strategy was paying off, but the gamble was not. Nothing he could do about it; the knight gritted his teeth and kept going.
Ramza takes no action, keeping his bird at a speed of 3 blocks/turn.

Gyun sees that his mount seems to have caught a second wind and decides that, despite the conversation, he should take this opportunity to make some gains on the lead... assuming he can. The moomba leans forward and grips tightly, encouraging his chocobo to go as fast as he can possibly get it going. He smiles impishly at the dragon as he picks up speed, it is a race!
Gyun uses all actions to accelerate.

| one little spark of imagination~ a dream can be a dream come true OKAY! Figment had been expecting Rainbow to be fast but not THAT fast! That item sure put a spring, no, a rocket in the bird's step! Whooo weee! What a wild rush that was, seems like everyone was starting to get into the groove of the race! As should be expected! They had already finished about a quarter of the race! It still hard to say at this point who amongst them could win, it was still any bo's game! But that did mean they would have to take a few risks and push themselves harder if they wanted to pull ahead of the pack! "Alright Rainbow, keep at it! We can do it! Just let me know if you need a break buddy!" Figment would say, hugging the bird's neck gently, the feathered friend chirping and cheeping happily as it continued its pace.
The dragon would smile and wave once again at Gyun as he sped up! "Hey heeeey! Now you're getting the hang of it!" Figment would say with a giggle. "Keep at it and maybe you'll be the winner! But me and Rainbow Outlaw won't make it eeeeaseeeey~"

| ❝ Racers are still going strong but it seems Ramza's bird is dropping down fast! He is still unable to remove lathered, but his bird is still in a pretty big lead. Do people eat Chocobos? I am starting to wonder what would happen if it.. nya...
Coming up from the bend is the fiery feline Gyun! if he really is a catte... But there he goes burning through all his actions to accelerate!
Here comes Figment, catching up thanks to his sprint shoes and hitting that max speed the magical dragon hits lathered for the first go since! I gotta say he maintained well up to this point mew, but there doesn't seem anyone can sthap this group!

Location: Gold Saucer Mood: Competitive Status: Well OOC: Correction, mod: I did manage to remove lathered. I rolled a die last turn because I remained at a decelerated state after slowing down from 4 to 3 blocks/post. I needed an Even result and I got a 10. So my Chocobo is no longer lathered.
IC: Once again, Delita managed to regain his breath after Ramza kept him on that somewhat high intensity. The bird was hardy, and Ramza was pleased.
Looking back,he saw the dragon-thing accelerating. Ramza, however, decided to play a bit more conservatively, and keep Delita at his current pace.
Ramza takes no action, keeping a state of 3 blocks/post.
I'm not entirely sure on the rules: do I need to roll again? Does this post still counts as "mantaining an accelerated state" because I kept three post/block?
I believe it may, which is why I'm rolling the dice (2, 5, 7, or 9 keep me out of lathered for one more turn). Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Gyun is having a tough time. Chocobo racing is harder than he thought. His bird didn't seem tired, but now it's struggling again. He frowns, looks forward, looks to the dragony friend, looks back, and pulls on the brakes a little bit. He huffs, slowing his bird down because he knows what it's like to be pushed too hard and he wouldn't want to put this creature through that. He doesn't know what its limits are but this is not a good environment to find out.
Gyun slows to three blocks.

| ❝ Well it seems this nya misread the racing track. As one can do since Nya is up here in this pillbox watching from above all you ants. I got the update just now from our rrrunning boy and it seems Ramza was able to remove his lathered so he's been running scot free!
Shame...
With our racers managing to keep pace at the cost of some stamina Ramza keeps at his pace seeing as, thus far, he is the king of the track, but how long? With that he goes on. Seeing as he did not accelerate he's safe from trouble as he seems to have made the break!
Gyun on the other paw has accelerates! and is able to keep pace while preventing lather. But boy oh boy will they be able to face what's next? Coming up in three blocks from Ramza's current position are more chests!
|
LAIKA OF GS! Ramza has moved 12 blocks from the last posted map. Gyun has moved 5 blocks from the last posted map. Figment has moved 8 blocks from the last posted map. (((Requested verbal update until the new map is updated. From nya's understanding anyone who has missed posts generally move at the pace they were last post with the stamina penalties, but don't take nya's word for this he's a cat, doesn't count well)))

| one little spark of imagination~ a dream can be a dream come true Whoo boy was the race getting tough! Figment could tell that his fine feathered friend was getting himself a bit winded pushing himself this hard. "Hand in there Rainbow, you can do it~ I believe in you!" the bird fluttered his wings and warked proudly! He came from a long line of racers after all, and despite growing tired, the bird would keep their pace for the time being. Of in the distance, the two spoted the upcoming treasure chests and shared a glance with one another. "Oh alright, let's go for it~! I'm going to try to not use my head this time." Figment would respond with a giggle, gently tugging the bird's reigns to the left to prepare themselves.
Action 1: Rainbow Outlaw shifts lanes to the left! (Placing him in the Middle Lane)

Location: Gold Saucer Mood: Competitive Status: Well Finally, things were turning around for the Knight of Ivalice. Delite now managed to keep a good, steady pace without exerting itself. It seemed the other racers realized that Ramza was building distance, but that was fine - this was all according to Ramza's plan. The game was now on; let people chase Ramza, instead of the other way around.
Counting on the fact that he had gathered enough of a distance to be safe for a while, Ramza kept Delita on the same pace. Better not mess with what is working.
Ramza takes no action, keeping a state of 3 blocks/post.
rolling the dice (2, 5, 7, or 9 keep me out of lathered for one more turn).

Gyun frowns a bit. More of those boxes. He has no idea what the deal with them is but maybe he'll find out this time. If he can maintain a lead long enough to get there first, anyway. He encourages his bird to pick up the pace a bit to grow the gap, as it seems like it's getting a bit crowded in this lane.
Gyun picks up speed to four blocks once more.
