Multicultural Fair! [The Gym - After Classes]

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

The benefit of doing something like this for the second time meant that Joan and Turtle had a much easier time of setting things up since they knew what worked and what didn't.

Turtle had, once again, provided decorations from Turtle & Canary. There was the requisite refreshment table, though it was primarily there to provide beverages, since most of the booths featured culturally appropriate food.

After set up was complete, Joan and Turtle sat down to catch up while they waited for the fair to begin.


[wait for the ocd or Turtle will kick you in the shin OCD up! No shins were harmed in the making of this post!]

Raven was enjoying the exhilaration, soaking it in. She had never felt anything like this before, either in Azarath or Fandom. It was perhaps even, she thought, better than sex. She followed after Karla, though part of her was almost tempted to try to soar off on her own.

They swooped through another quarter mile of the Run; darting around large protrusions of ice, diving down almost to the bottom just to catch an air current and get flung upwards again. Raven seemed to be having a lot of fun. Karla decided to really let her experience it.

"You're turn!" she shouted, letting go of Raven's hand. "This Wind goes steady for a bit. You lead!" She pointed in the distance, where a large ice wall thrust up out of the ground to meet them. "Till there. Go!"

Raven was a little unsteady leading at first; following Karla's lead had been much easier. But she felt almost like she'd been born to this, and soon she was unable to hold back a grin as they soared toward the ice wall.

The far well kept zooming closer and as it did, the Winds got rougher and more turbulent. "You're doing very well," Karla called, "but don't let your guard down now!"

Even someone with the borrowed stamina and reserves of an Eyrien warrior got tired, though, and started to slow down. This was the trickest part of the Run; as the body's energies ebbed, the power of the Winds increased. A current grabbed them, and tried to spin them out. Karla grabbed onto Raven's hand and pulled her close, holding tightly as they glided through the middle of two closely-positioned jagged peaks.

"Here we goooo!" She yelled to be heard over the rushing wind. An updraft sent them spiraling up into the sky and then a vicious crosswind sent them hurtling towards the wall. "Reeeeady..." she said, "...and break!" She let go of Raven's hands, giving her a quick push with Craft, so they could both get out of the current before smashing into the wall.
