inquiries & a challenge

[poetontheinside]

Who: Ray Kowalski
Broadcast: Video
Action: Windrose, and space!
When: today and also whenever the races are happening

[Ray is looking bored bored bored. He has a toothpick stuck in the corner of his mouth, and he's throwing a ball from one hand to the other, sometimes scrambling after it when he misses- it's astigmatism, okay, he just doesn't see all that good.]

Alright, so I got a question. Not everyone here's from Earth, whatever, but most of you are from some kinda place with some kinda rules and laws. And I figure a bunch of you have gotta be law enforcement yourselves, y'know, statically. [sic]

Now me? I'm just a regular schmo, city cop worked his way up to Detective. I didn't always wanna be a cop, but I tried it out and it stuck. Chasin' bad guys, putting on the heat, lock 'em up. Bam-bam-bam. [He slams the ball into his hand three times, then sits forward and grins.] It's a job, right? Just like bein' an engineer in here.

[He misses it. He misses it a lot, actually; misses his partner and the job, the satisfaction of a puzzle and a chase and locking up someone who made the world a little more dangerous.] So the rest of you: what do you do? How's it work in your world?

[Added, a few minutes later:]

By the way: I don't have my ar here to race you in, but back home I'm the last guy you wanna get into a car chase with. [He may be exaggerating slightly, but who could contradict him?] Figure I gotta keep those instinct working. I'll be there in two hours, ready to go.

[Wrath slides into the pilot's seat and gets it adjusted to fit comfortably for someone of her much smaller size. This is going to be great.]

Hell yeah. Let's kick the shit out of someone!

[Engines go. Ready to leave docking at an unsafe speed?]

[Always ready. He grins at her and shouts out his excitement when she hangs tight corners, when they pass their opponent- and he's quick at the controls, at rigging the thing just so that they don't run out of speed, so that they can get just a little extra burst--

This is the kind of adrenaline kick he'd missed. His eyes are bright, his cheeks flushed as they fly.]

[Wrath's an efficient flier, though she gets a little showy once they've passed the other ship. There's a barrel roll in there, and she's shrieking happily as she does it. This is the best! So much grinning. It's been a long time since she's had this much fun.

And yes. Definitely the adrenaline kick.]

We're an awesome team! [Teamworks important. And Ray's awesome.]
