Elissana Tabris

Elissa

Elissa turned back and faced Darius as he called after her. He knew now that he had caught Shadow Corps eyes because of she told him. And he was now aware of her being a Tiger. Er...a Tigress since she's female. But still! He called after her and she smiled. Not going anywhere huh? Good, she would still have the shot of flirting when this was over. She nodded and waved at him. "Good luck!!!" She called back after him then went to go take her place near the control panel. She placed her mic headset back on and was just fixing her hair and the mic into place when Becca approached her. Elissa blinked and the sudden niceness of the Vixen. She moved her mic out of her face and away from her lips so the conversation wouldn't be heard on the loud speakers. "No offense, Vixen. But I'm working, here. I don't have time to eat." She said and moved away from her. Smiling, she called the crowd to attention. Cheers and yells began. "As some of you Circuit fans may now know, Shadow Corporation has sent us a notice of Sanction! Our one and only amazing Thunder has been Sanctioned to race against our very own Tiger, Tristan! And the self centered, loud mouth bee we all know....Alistair!" To each his own crowd would let out a mighty roar of a team. "The Sanction Race will begin in moments! We're still a few teams short! BUT!" A pause....suspension. "The crowd decides in the end! Who do you think will win, and claim our lovely prospect? The dreadful Black Knights? Those sexist Brotherhood men?!" The crowd rang with 'Booooooo!' and various of other things. "Or will the latest team to join Circuit, the mighty dragonic Longwei's? Or will he join the buzzing hive of Hornets? Even better still! Have the Tigers finally found new pray to sink their claws into?!" More cheers. Excited chatter. Oh yea...She so had their attention on the race now. All that was left for a rep. of the other three teams to show up and race as well.

[Dr_P-i-Staker]

The words "Even better still! Have the Tigers finally found new prey to sink their claws into?!" bounced around inside of Darius' skull.

'So, she wants me to be a Tiger, huh?' He said to himself, mulling over the choice in his head, whilst listening to the music that was pounding away from his speakers, pulsing the windows.

Darius was enjoying the attention that was being played out for him. His first sanctioned race, shown to those who followed the Circuit religiously. Waiting for the other racers to turn up, Darius started speaking to Eleanor.

"Well, what do you think Eleanor? The Vixens aren't an option, no question there. But the rest? Who do you think?" He murmured away for a while in the same fashion, then went over the options with Eleanor. "The Brotherhood I'm not a fan of, but there's no distractions there. The Black Knights are too violent for my tastes, but I suppose that could come in useful, their brawn protecting me, covering the opposition whilst I zip through? Maybe, maybe. The Longwei, they're heaped in their Asian culture and traditions, but I guess I'd get used to that after a while, and they aren't exactly bad racers. That leaves the Hornets and the Tigers." He paused for a moment, a sudden realisation dawning upon him. "It's always been between the two, given the choice, hasn't it Eleanor?" The car seemed to purr in agreement. "But which one? Our weapon seems to be more of a Hornet thing, but in all honesty, it's not effective half the time anyway. The Tigers had their pounce, which I'd happily trade the Thunder PIT for."

Through the steering wheel, Darius could feel Eleanor's apprehension at giving up her number one weapon, the one that had earned his nickname. Stroking the dash, Darius whispered, "Okay, okay, maybe we'd be allowed to keep it on top of the pounce, you never know. The Hornets seem to having the backing of the corporations, that'd sure come in handy for upgrades, wouldn't it?"

Eleanor purred to him again, which made Darius stare out of the driver's side window. The pink hair, the blue outfit, both seemed to suit her well. He smiled. "I barely know her, Ellie. All I know is that she's a Tiger, her name is Elissana, and that it's pissing me off that I can't go talk to her until after this race!" The last part came out as more of a growl. Eleanor hummed a response.

"You're right then El... Like always, you're right."

Pulling the door handle open, Darius left his car in the starting blocks and made his way over to where Elissana stood, making sure he was in her eyeline the whole way.

"Something was just pointed out to me by a reliable source," Darius started with when he reached her, "The other groups aren't here. Maybe we have time to talk before this all goes down." Darius smiled.

It reached his eyes.



((OOC--// Just out of interest, how is this race going to work? We don't have anyone playing as someone from the Black Knights, so do we just chuck in some NPC's if we don't have one RP'er from every gang? Also, as a Prospect, do I get a choice in which gang I join?))

[Kohana Mishikoto]

OOC
Yup. You can just make an NPC for now and control them around.
So soon as I can convince Kukii's lazy but to put some focus in on this so we can this started, we'll be all set to go. :3

[Dr_P-i-Staker]

((OOC--// Okay, well just to pad it out until everyone involved is ready, I've edited my last post. Also, I added another question, do Prospects choose the gang they wanted, or do they get offers then choose, or does it get chosen for them?))

[Hellish Kitty Kukii-san]

|| OoC: || They choose for themselves. Obviously the SC have to decide whether or not their race with the Sanctioned racers was good. So they don't even have to win. Either way, they go on a 'pilgrimage' of sorts to the SC headquarters and there they choose a team. Also...the Thunder P.I.T is actually VERY Tigers. With the shutting down of internal systems it fits the less known powers of Tigers, their EMP weapons.
That's about it I think.

[Dr_P-i-Staker]

OOC--// Okay, thats cool! I like the idea of the pilgrimage to SC, by the way. Its bringing back images from the film The Blind Side, when the guy has to pick his college football scholarship and has three caps from different teams to pick from. Also, I went with Hornets for the Thunder P.I.T more for the fact that it has to get through the bodywork of the opposing car, so sort of seemed like a stinger. Either way, it works! biggrin ))

[xXFoxfaceToastXx]

Becca, frowned as she caught the announcer at a bad time. Frowning as Elissa brushed her off she turned to get some lemonade. "Two lemonades please."  She paid the cashier and took the bottles and went back to the anouncer pointing to herself with one hand and putting a free finger to her lips before sitting down and placing the lemonade next to her as she drank her own. Suddenly interested in the race she watched and wondered if she was supposed to be down there. She left her car, besides she didn't feel like racing. Deciding to make another attemtp to get on Elissa's good books she took the spring hoodie tied around her waist and put it on to look more decent now she could only wait, make the announcer notice her respect but still wanting to talk with her.

[Kohana Mishikoto]

Elissana Tabris

Elissa

Becca approached her again and with some mild confusion from this Vixen, she looked at the offered lemonade. Taking off her headset, she reached out took the lemonade. Eying it cautiously, she took a small sip then decided it was safe to drink. Thirsty enough as is, she downed the whole thing then scrunched her face up to look a little something like whee from the sourness of the lemonade. Rubbing her cheeks with a slight giggle, she looked at Becca. The girl was wearing her hoodie now. It made Elissa blink as she set the empty cup down. "Um....Thanks. Look, I don't know what it is your up to or what it is you want to know, but I'm not giving up Tiger information. I'm sorry." She said then turned to look towards the other Tigers, and ended up catching Darius's eyes. She blushed and moved away from Becca. So their conversation could be heard. Leaning back against the announcer booth, she folded her hands behind her and looked up at him. "Sure. We've got time." She said smiling back at him. "I'm Elissa by the way..."

~|-|~ / Cherry Bond - Vixen ~|-|~


I was destined to paint the town red.

Cherry frowned, thinking she was right. But it was pointed out there was a fourth to be waited on. "See we have time. Let's go bag us a Hornet. And get him to talk." she said with a smirk. She dragged Natia over to Alistair and smiled sweetly, playing a well known angle. A friend asking on behalf of her friend. "Hey, you're Alistair right? My friend Natia wants to talk to you." She said, grinning wide, and shoving Natia forward a little. Natia would know how to follow this up of course, the two had teamed up like this before.

[Kohana Mishikoto]

Natia Amell

Natia giggled as Cherry grabbed her hand and dragged her over to Alistair after it became apparent that they were still waiting on others to show. Mostly a Brotherhood, a Black Knight, and a Longwei. It was too obvious that the Vixens were out of question. Still, Cherry dragged her up to Alistair and Natia gave a shy blush and a gentle surprised gasp as Cherry pushed her forward. "I'm sorry. I told her not to do this." She said as she brushed her blond hair from her face. "We over in the stands and noticed you just look so tense." She said as she wrapped her arms around one of his and pressed her chest into his arm a little. Her breath now tickling against his skin as she talked. Cherry followed suit on his other side. "Perhaps we can help you relax a little. You'll never win a race all tensed up." She said teasingly.

[Hellish Kitty Kukii-san]

|| OoC: || Although I've made twin Black Knights, they won't take part in this race (I mean me being in this race 3 times over is overkill...) however an 'NPC' Black Knight will. The twins will just oversee it as his/her superiors.

[Hellish Kitty Kukii-san]

~|-|~ / Astra & Zack Martin - Dark Paladins of the Black Knights ~|-|~



The Twin Vipers rolled up to the track. They kept their distance as the engines were cut. Another black car drove in between them and stopped, engine idling. The drivers of the twin cars got out, clad in hooded black cloaks. The pair drew up to either side of the other car. "Go in, to the start line...your first race Squire...do not fail...the King does not look kindly upon failure." their voices were in unison. One was shorter, the taller of the two had a stockier figure. One could tell from the voices the short one was female. The two left the cars, and in mirrored unison locked the cars and set the alarms. The twins then headed into the track, slipping through the crowd, despite their ominous outfits, they remained unnoticed, like people didn't want to see them. The pair drew near the front of the stands, side by side to watch the race. The Dark Squire seemed to be taking his time, probably calming his nerves, racing in front of two Dark Paladins probably scared the wits out of him. "This should be a good race sister...the 350Z...Tristan Stone." the male said quietly. "I hate this waiting...I'd rather go down there and blow them up..." The female replied, clearly agitated and muttering something about "Stupid 'By Order of the King'."

~|-|~ / Alistair Riverdane - Hornets ~|-|~


Money is Power, and Power is Everything.

Distracted by glaring at 'Thunder', Alistair didn't see the girls approach. They both spoke before he could reply. "Umm...hey ladies." he replied, eyes widening. Well...at least he wasn't scowling now. "I don't know what you girls have in mind...but I've got to race soon...just something to keep in mind." Alistair said. Nothing quite like a girl on each arm. All he needed now was a brunette with her arms wrapped around his shoulders and he'd have the perfect set.

[Kohana Mishikoto]

Natia Amell

Natia and Cherry giggled as the began to try and lead Alistair away from his car. "Then why don't we go and find an out of sight, out of sound, place..." She whispered against his ear as both the vixens moved to taking his hands as they lead him away. "We could give you one very quick message that you'll never forget." Natia tells him winking then giggling teasingly. "What do you say? Want some help unwinding?"

OOC
A brunette is all he's missing? Really now? wink
*Giggles, glomps, and wraps arms around Kukii's shoulders*

[Dr_P-i-Staker]

Elissa... A barely audible whisper out of Darius mouth. Thunder. Well, you know that name already. Its actually Darius. Darius Hataki.

Still grinning like an idiot, Darius stuck out his hand to shake hers. So how long have you been with the Tigers then Elissa?

Shorten that even more, and it matches Eleanor he said to himself, his grin growing ever greater.
