Bernadette was at home when he received the notification that her request to race against the number three was accepted. She had been online in the game since she arrived home and just happened to find the lady online at the moment.
This first race, like any other, would give her rewards, some game currency and even the two players could bet on something they owned and since she didn't have anything precious at the moment she just didn't want to do that.
She was however surprised when Maria chipped in her most expensive armour. This armour was also very durable but it wasn't the one she was using at the moment. She had seen one better than it but she didn't buy it.
She clicked and the racing course appeared on the screen. She had familiarised herself with the controls earlier and had no problem navigating as long as she looked at the map. That was, of course, if the other person didn't use 'distort' to change everything for a small period of time.
