Fandom Gladiators Part DEUX! - First Period, Friday, 7/12.

[died8yearsago]

Because smoke-filled skies during the day and creepy-ass nightmare fuel during the night wasn't disorientating enough, Rosa decided this week might be a good week to debut the Sky Track. So when the gladiators entered the Arena that day, they'd find a sort of race track set up for them. Only it was on the ceiling. And upside down.

Of course, esepcially considering the proclivities of certain people to be able to just hang from stuff like it's no problem, upside down racing seemed just a little bit too simple, so Rosa had added another element on the ground, because flanking the whole course were several little turret stations with some guns that might look familiar to those who were in the class last semester.

"This," Rosa announced, "is the Sky Track. It's an upside down racetrack that you'll be harnessed into and have to race each other while upside down. Easy, right?" Well, for some of you, Spider-Man.

"I've broken everyone down into heats; you'll race each other, and then the winners will go up against each other tournament style until there's only one person standing. To make things more interesting, when you're not racing, if you'd like, you can man one of these turret stations and try to make things a little more interesting for our racer by shooting either foam balls at them or water; there are guns that shoot both. Use these weapons to try to impede your competition or help out your allies. Just remember, kids, we totally kicked your butts last week," granted, there had been quite a few more teachers than students due to, you know, dumb labyrinth stuff. "You think you can handle it if we do it again this time around?"

Because, spoiler alert: they totally would.

Group Four: Exterminator vs Tip vs the Hammer vs Lilac - Gladiators, 07/12.

[died8yearsago]

The winner of this round is Exterminator (RNG I PROMISE), followed by Tip, then Lilac, with the Hammer (she handwavily picked hers earlier in the week) in last place.

Okay, so, Vette was really great at getting places she wasn't meant to be and all, but running across ceilings was not really her whole deal. Need her to squeeze through some ventilation shafts? Sure!

But suspend her from a ceiling racetrack, and what you had was a girl who could barely reach the handholds half the time and who wasn't terribly thrilled about that. UGH.

Well, Lilac should know from last session that the Exterminator clearly didn't take prisoners in these things when she competed; Gratuity would have to learn the hard way; and the Hammer knew her well enough to know that she didn't stand a chance, right? She was going to win this thing, and she wasn't going to let a little thing like, 'oh, this is a class that's supposed to be for the students to learn things and have fun in' stop her.

They'd learn how to lose, and they could have fun eating her sky dust!

...not that she was competitive or anything, though.

The Hammer....knew this was the danger shop, and therefor all a simulation that could just do things as programmed, but the Hammer was also hanging upside down in a contraption on a race track on the ceiling and it was utterly fascinating, and she was trying to see if there actually were legitimate specs on how this thing was designed and how difficult it would be to rig up something like this in real life, and it really seemed like pretty easy mehcanics after all, she could absolutely put something like this together, it would be a cinch--

---oh, right! She was supposed to actually be racing in this thing! So Amaya got a little bit of a late start in all of this, and she discovered she wasn't much of an upside-down racer, either. Seems her mind was going all the racing today, with all the ideas already starting to flood in.
