video
Who: Sorey, Mikleo & y'all!!!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Selvin-9
When: Early January
[The video starts out jostling and blurry, like some kind of snowed-in Blair Witch project. There’s even screaming- oh no, that’s just excited screaming, and it’s more like breathless squeaks than screams.]
Mikleo- Mikleo! Get it get the- you got it?
I’ve got it. I still think this is ridiculous…
[There’s a jostling movement as the communicator is transferred from one to the other, and for a moment it lingers on a seemingly-empty wolf kigu, its wearer invisible but sounding as unimpressed as the costume’s expression. It’s gone in a flash, and Sorey suddenly darts into view, wearing a goblin kigu, running through the snow with the clumsiness of a person unaccustomed to winter weather, over to a truly ugly snow sled…with wheels.]
Do you see this?! [Sorey seems unable to contain himself, gleeful and giddy, posing in front of the sled with a peace sign in front of a rental shop on the slope.] This is the coolest thing ever- ohhh, I wish we could buy it!
[Sorey suddenly gets closer to the camera, grinning a grin that precludes any rational decision-making.] Hey Keith! I challenge you to a sled race! Or anybody, anybody who’s game! I’ll bet rental fees and hot chocolate that I can beat you!
[There’s a long-suffering sigh - albeit mildly affectionate - from behind the camera. Mikleo’s done this song and dance before, it’s old hat.]

action
Sorey already has two of the sleds prepared, standing atop one with his arms crossed like some kind of champion awaiting his challenger. He's still in that dumb goblin kigu too.] Ah, there you are, Sir Keith! Glad to see your spirit holds strong as ever. [Is that a little paper crown on his head]
Re: action
Sir Keith, huh? Does that get elevated to royalty if I win?
no subject
If. [Sorey might be relatively mild-mannered in most respects, but he can have an awfully boastful competitive streak] Maybe I'll address you as 'Lord Keith' for a while.
no subject
But the promotion in royalty joke did get something of a grin.]
Good. It'll be worth it.
[Keith had been sort of jumping into a lot of these weird snowmobile and sled races since he'd gotten back from his disappearance. Things had happened back home that had left something of a mark, and Keith was doing his damnedest to not have to deal with them by trying to erase them through adrenaline laden activities. Sorey had just given him the perfect one.]
Are we putting credits on this outcome or what?
[Care to up the stakes?]
no subject
...but a wager sounds so interesting.] What about a favor, on top of bragging rights? Something big, not just like, doing chores or something like that.
no subject
[Please not the kigu... did Sorey know about Keith's birthday present from Atroma? With the red hippo kigu? He hoped not...]
no subject
no subject
[Keith grinned, definitely confident he could win.]
I'm in.
no subject
no subject
He didn't want to owe Sorey a nameless favor...]
no subject
Gah! [Sorey clambers off his sled] Geez, Keith, how do you do that? You're good at like, everything!
no subject
No... not everything. [He shrugged a bit.] Just certain things.
[He was one of the last people who would brag about something. He was all about trash talk, but that usually involved the other person being worse than him, not him being better. And he definitely knew he had shortcomings. Of those, he was almost painfully aware... especially after his failed stint as leader in the Black Lion.]
We could do a best two out of three if you really think you can beat me.
no subject
no subject
Oh. [He chuckled a little.] You mean the hoverspeeder you saw during calibrations. Yeah, sort of. It was definitely built for racing. I wasn't a pro or anything, though. It was more of a hobby.
no subject
no subject
Yeah... I guess so.
[He nodded back at the track.]
If you still wanna go again, I'm up for it.
no subject
no subject
Alright. Let's do this!
[Keith was definitely going now. And he'd go through the racing quite a few times yet.]
