I called a air-speeder limo, something close to it, and me and my women got in. Illyana also decided to bring Blink in on the date a little and be the child to the grown ups. From what i could tell this was an attempt by Illyana to see how she would take not being the one that was focused on or that this entire event was for.
I had already sort of made up my mind on Blink. She was a good woman and caring but I couldn't really see her as partner material, my mind just continued to see her as a daughter. Recently I had found my feelings out when she was trying way too hard to get close to me in the limbo. It had been the last straw, maybe she was lonely and taking out her inner loneliness and exposing it by trying to get closer to me and be my partner... She needs a therapist too, i wonder if mine would be willing to take her in as well. Or! If Lucifer is a therapist by now he could talk to her, he's more funny and probably more adept at bringing peoples inner feelings, thoughts and emotions out. Not that it would work on me.
Anyway, we soon appeared at the entertainment district, the higher-class one, and were met by red carpets and beautiful golden guide markers. I had bought some tickets to a sports event that incorporated speeders in a race. Much like Anakin's pod racing in the prequels, this event was based on the race and whoever placed 1st. Unlike in Anakin's case though, this one was less deadly and more about the pure speed.
We were lead to a VIP room just for me and my wives by a Mirialan man who sported several tattoo marks across his face and body. He was professional and easy to ask questions of, he was also luckily our butler for the evening.
Eventually we all sat down and cuddled on the couch with Blink being at the edge of the couch looking on in jealousy. She tried to keep it lowkey though and focused on window that we could see the event through. My women didn't care though and were content to snuggle up to me and each other whilst watching what I had brought them to see.
Minutes later an announcer screamed out and introduced the event and its contestants. He added some small adverts here and there but was honestly very concise and practiced as he smoothly transitioned into commentary as with a massive explosion the pod race began.
The track was a massive multilayered track that had ups and down, traps and secrets. It was honestly quite surreal as several pieces of the track could just break into a cube and start floating upwards or electric shock traps could spring out and zap any speeder nearby. These drivers though were determined to fight it and come out in the lead.
"Ooooh! We have Mark'ylir coming out in front of his new land speeder, the Balski! Close behind him we have Otry, the Renegade. I wonder who will come out in front folks!?"
The two the hype man was speaking about were currently ramming into each other lightly as a break in course was approaching, two different tracks, one leading right the other left. Like any good race movie the two separated as ten different speeders rushed towards them from behind. My wives were focused on the display, intrigued by the absolute flurry of movement and speed. Jean was particularly fond of the new sport she was introduced to, if I wasn't careful I'd probably have to create an event similar to this in Atlantis.
"DAMN! Mark'ylir gets passed by Petwiols, the unhinged horror! Petwiols now coming first in the race with Otry coming closer and closer towards his position!"
The split course eventually joined back up with numerous traps and changed bring tens of pods out of the race in semi-violent crashes or malfunctions. The two front pod racers quickly started to show their skill as they moved horizontally and vertically, dodging numerous debris and traps across the course whilst inching further and closer away from each other in an intense bout of skill. Jean's eyes were sparkling as Oceana also seemed mildly interested. The rest of my women were enjoying the drama of the race and the contestants as they watched pod after pod drop out or barely survive.
Coming up in front of the pod racers however was a literal waterfall where anyone's engines could suffer damage from the flowing water. Petwiols and Otry seemed prepared however as they activated small shield emitters on the top of their engines and slowed down a little bit in recompense. They got quickly overtaken but in the end got ahead as those people who rushed in, slid into the dirt of the track as their pods nearly disintegrated. From there many of the racers deployed various means of keeping water out as the two front leader slowly got out from under the waterfall.
*Whoosh*
With a massive rev of their engines the pods were off again, shields lowered and engines free of water.
"Look! It's the famous shielding tactic that Petromonv first used! It seems both racers are taking some cues from him in this match!"
With renewed vigour the race continued as now there were only 20 pods left from the initial 200. It was a massive number of missing pods but this seemed to be normal as the race continued unabated. The leaders of the pack quickly began to struggle for control of the match and tried to ram each other as some more pods slowly gained on them. This continued for a while until a trap wildly appeared and zapped Otry's pod and disabled it for several seconds. Petwiols was now in the lead by a large margin and had even used some of his petrol booster to gain a decent lead.
It seemed as if the game was finished, until a pod that had been at the ass end of the match the whole time streamed forwards and completely outclassed every pod racer between him and the first place.
"WHO IS THIS!? WE HAVE SOMEONE MAKING HEADWAY AGAINST THE COMPETITION! AH! IT'S PETROMONV!!!!"
The crowd below went wild as chants of 'Petromonv' cascaded into the race track and threatened to break the sound proofing of the building. It seemed he was a massive sensation within the pod racing industry... And funnily enough, he was out butler for the night...
'Sneaky bastard... Hahahahaha!'
"HAHAHAAHA! That's hilarious!"
My wives looked at me until they also realised and started to break down in giggles, laughs and chuckles all around, including Blink.
The race below turned into a comedic fest as our butler easily squashed every bit of competition and easily dodged every single obstacle in his way, getting right up the ass of the 1st place's pod. I could see the butler's lips move but couldn't hear what he said but from what i was seeing it was obviously a taunt, one that the current 1st place wasn't taking well. The 1st tried to sneakily sabotage the butler but quickly found his tactic useless as the butler easily and swiftly overtook him by vertically lifting and shifting orientation. He was now on the ceiling of a tunnel and speeding ahead, using gravity to enhance his speed just enough to get into first place.
The, now, second place was pissed and tried to burn the 'rest' of his booster but failed as he had ran out of it earlier. He slammed his hand on the controls of his pod only to find that was a bad idea when he crashed into the wall of the tunnel moments later.
From there the race was fairly simple and had just turned into Petromonv trolling the rest of the eight pod racers and slipping backwards to fuck with people before going back to first place.
Like that, the race ended in thunderous applause and the squealing of many women around the stadium. I was a little jealous but when i thought of how beautiful I am in comparison I smiled in confidence. 'Ain't no way he beats me when it comes to women.'
[Ahum... I can hear you, and so can Jean.]
'Shit...'
Jean stared at me with a single raised eyebrow and a somewhat perturbed expression masking her usually neutral face. I whistled a little and began to speak.
"That was quite the show! I enjoyed it."
"Hahaha, yeah! It was fun!" (Idun)
"Indeed it was interesting." (Kali)
"I enjoyed the trolling and jokes at the end, the rest was meh." (Illyana)
"I wanted to see more people get up and fight!" (Skadi)
"Maybe we could implement this sport in Atlantis honey?" (Pixel)
"You can take a break from work Honey. The jokes and trolling were indeed funny Honey... If they let them fight it wouldn't be good for the sport's reputation dear. I'm glad you enjoyed it Idun, Kali, Jean and Oceana."
Jean rolled her eyes at the same time as Oceana before nodding and agreeing. Oceana was the same but she had a large smile on her face as if she enjoyed my little deflections. It probably reminded her of when she was in my mind.
'The first part of the date was a success, now we go to a restaurant, then get back to our house, break the news to Blink and then party time!' I made sure that i used my reality domain to shield my mind this time, that way they wouldn't know my plans.
'Hehehehe!'
