tight spaces - 6
Stardust's insistence to finish this thing separately didn't sit well with her. A lot of things weren't anymore, stacking atop one another the longer they sat and recuperated and waited, until it felt like the pile was ready to burst within her. Her eyes blazed when the woman from before finally appeared, a few choice words on her tongue. They stilled as the group passed by the colorful goons; short tempered or not, May knew better than to pick up their argument now. After, then.
The crowd was waiting for a show, and she was going to give it.
Maybelle wasn't shy or new to performing in front of a crowd, and her simmering frustration left no room for nerves as it was anyway. Just one more course to conquer, and then she and the punk would have words.
The crack in the wall might as well have been a ladder up with how quickly the small woman made it through. For once, it seemed her size was a noticeable boon. She wiggled through and tried not to think about the lewd observations Stardust and Ace were probably making at the sight.

peg wall - 5+1= 6
Well, if neither of them had a comment about the previous area, they definitely were going to lewd her for this. Sticking long things into holes and then getting on top of them? Jesus.
God, but a part of her hoped they would welcome her back with something like that. At least that'd mean they got out of this unprofessional mess with their limbs intact. Maybelle tried not to think too much about it as she moved each peg into the wall, hefting them like bales of hay. If she did, she'd probably just get too stuck in her thoughts and lose concentration.

bungie plateau - 4+1= 5
This didn't look so difficult. Or suspect for disgusting jokes later. God, she needed to stop thinking about that!
Shaking her head, Maybelle caught her breath and tightened her ponytail in preparation. She felt like she was doing well on time--though frankly she had had problems sensing just how long time had passed in the wait room, and it still felt like she hadn't gotten that inner clock back--and this next part relied on her balance so much. And then, with a running leap, she hit the first bungie cord.
Swinging wasn't an issue, but landing was. Her leg started to ache like it had when she had run in tandem with her girlfriend, and Maybelle hissed as she hit the platform and swayed dangerously. She moved on before it could toss her off, but it wasn't with grace that she moved to the second platform and beyond.

ascension - 5
And now the final wall to climb, the last stretch before it was all done. If that exposed wire from before was anything to think about, then May had to wonder what would happen if she grabbed those so-called holds. And she soon learned the trick behind them: they didn't like staying.
Of course there had to be a gimmick. Of course.

Every time she thought she got ground, she found herself dropping back to ground zero. Well, relatively speaking anyway.

ascension - THERE WE GO
The amount of holds de-magnetizing was enough to make the pope get mad, to say nothing of how furious Maybelle was. But like tossing water on an electrical fire, it only made her determination burn that much brighter. That spark was enough to send her straight up the wall with an unlady-like snarl, scampering past each cleft like an animal. And it was enough.
The crowd seemed pleased nonetheless as she reached the top--the Zenith--and slammed the buzzer with vicious satisfaction.

Tourmaline had watched Maybelle's progress from the production booth, just as she had watched the young woman throughout the entire tournament. She had spunk and a fair amount of fiery determination; things that the General found admirable. She had so much potential and Tourmaline hoped she had enough sense that it would not be wasted. The General gave the young woman a moment to breathe and bask in her victory before she appeared, stepping out of the darkness to greet Maybelle with applause. "I was hoping you would make it this far, Maybelle. You've challenged yourself... Are you ready to challenge your destiny?"

She was ready to just fall over and melt into the ground for an hour--off camera, away from everyone--when the woman appeared again. The impulse dissipated like water on hot pavement, and the simmering anger returned like bile in her throat. Had she gone to see Stardust yet? There weren't any signs of a fight on her face, so lucky her: she'd get the first punch.
"What's your ********' deal?" Maybelle snarled, beyond the lady-like appearance now. Too much energy to do it. "You tryin' to kill us?"
It was clear by the way she approached that Maybelle was very ready to challenge something all right.
"I hope y'all have a better lawyer than you do a course constructor, 'cause we'll be comin' after you," she continued, her accent growing worse with anger. "So you best direct me to my roomies now 'fore you test me somethin' fierce."

"Roommates? Ah, yes, that's right... There were three of you that signed up together." Tourmaline paused, bringing a hand up to lightly rest on her chin, tapping at her lips with the silver claw of her gauntlet. "The boy won't be joining us. He lost is way somewhere along the way... And Stardust? She's right here with us." Despite her words, there were only two women standing at the top of the 'mountain'. There wasn't a visible trace of Stardust anywhere, at least not that Maybelle would recognize as being her. Did starseeds resonate when they were near something they'd once loved? Was it even love if they didn't? She snapped out of whatever bit of wandering her mind had done, glancing to the other woman as her hand dropped away from her face. "A lawyer won't help you, Maybelle. All of that fire you've got pent up? All of that energy? I don't think a lawyer is how you want to come at me anyways, is it? Come on. Show me what you're made of."

"With us"? What? Maybelle heard alarms in her head, and her eyes widened at the implication. Either this woman was just crazy, or...And the other contestants? Ace...?!
Had she not been tired, coated in sweat, and more than a little angry, she would have been contrarian. Ignored the b***h and hopped off stage, fists curled but at her sides. But Maybelle didn't want to control herself today. Her partners had instilled in her the idea that sometimes a little anarchy was okay, and if that moment wasn't now, where else would it be? (She swore she could almost feel Stardust then as a ghostly presence, egging her on.)
The instance before she moved, something appeared before her: a rusty looking cowbell seemed to materialize into the aether. And that was the last straw. Never mind the fact that Maybelle didn't know where the hell the thing had come from, or how the b***h knew about her rodeo history: she was being made fun of! Snatching the thing out of the are with a growl, she ran at the punk, completely unaware of her outfit change or the significance of what had happened. Her vision had narrowed until she only saw her target and nothing else.

Tourmaline felt a shift in the atmosphere followed by a sudden burst of beautiful, brilliant energy. It filled her with a wave of devilish delight that out of all of the contestants this one -- this fiery, spunky, brilliant young woman -- was a knight awakening before her eyes. So delighted and marveled was she by this sudden revelation that she almost began to laugh. She wouldn't have been able to defend herself had she done so, however, and she wasn't about to let this fledgling page's first powered memory be the moment she clocked a General in the head with a cowbell of all things. Tourmaline's hand came up, snatching the young woman by the wrist and yanking her forward so that she could thrust her other hand into the page's chest. "There it is... Can you feel that? This is your starseed. I'd draw it out so you can see how nicely it glows, but I think it will serve you better right where it is. It will serve me better once we've done a little something about all of this sunshine and brightness." Her fingers closed around Maybelle's starseed, gently forcing the first pulse of Chaos into it. Running high on emotion, Tourmaline used the anger and pain radiating from the other woman as a conduit for the corruption, careful not to push too far too fast. If her aim was to corrupt and not destroy she had to be gentle.... To an extent, at least... medigel I'm so sorry this has taken so long. ;;
