If you missed the races, here's an animated GIF of the proceedings:

Only a few hours left to sign up for the race, and we need at least one more person!

Signups are now closed and the Registered racers have been posted. Hope to see you guys tomorrow for the start of the race!

Frenzy: *paces in a corner, looking standoffish and distrusting of this whole event* >| ... Pointless... foolish... *muttermutter*

8D So excited. Races are one of my favourite events! I will have to try my hardest to be online. *grins*

Hum: *paws the ground and snorts eagerly, ready to see if this forest has anything that can rattle her*

Ah, my little menace...at least this is more productive than her trying to headbutt my knees. Good luck guys! I suspect I'll miss watching this one run and shall see results in the morning, but I look forwards to seeing how it turns out!

Aw.... I missed it.... ): Stupid hurricane.

*Joy prances around excitedly* "Woo! A yrace! Byring it on, byring it on! This gameyr giyrl is yready foyr a challenge!"

Curse you power outage!! This looks like it'll be fun! Congrats everyone

Renegade: Pah. This doesn't look like a challenge at all. >:P Besides, racing ability is totally a genetic thing. Which means I am so gonna kick butt~

...We'll see, boy. We'll see. |D

Good luck to everyone! I probably won't be online for this because of school, so I'll see you all at the finish line. <3

poop i missed it.

Congrats and good luck guys!

A line of Samanayrs stand at the ready, a little nervous about the horrors that may be lurking in the forest.


Passion of the Thundering Tundra

Ember of the Whispered Flame

*cheers on her little girl* Come on Ember!

*hangs onto Pyro* No, you can run with her, you great goofball!


*eyes Misery, Renegade, and Snap* Good luck to you three as well!

As the starting gun fires, the racers run off at a blast. The first obstacle comes into sight for some of the fastest, a faint shine of ghostly constructs weaving in and out of the trees.

Hum: *stomps her foot and snorts indignantly at the notion that she might be nervous and consequently almost misses the cue to start*

She is quite confident that her stallion is scarier than anything this forest might hold...we shall see.

*cheers her on for a bit before bed*

The will-o-wisps don't prove to be much of a scare to some, but they have stalled a few of the racers.

Come on Ember! Your papa makes fire shapes for the stories he tells! They aren't spooky at all!

*cheers Hum on* Looks like the wisps didn't bother her a bit once she actually got moving. Though I think she's also too mad at herself for that slow start to really notice them... I wonder if Rend keeps wisps around their home?

As the racers make their way through the course, they come through a dense patch of living trees and vines. How will this terror be handled?

Come on Ember! Duck and weave! Your scales should help protect you!

Creak, groan... those branches can be pretty scary at night, especially with their imbued Sharian magic, specially crafted for the Haunted Forest.


EDIT: oops, forgot to put the new image in...

Hum: *rolls her eyes at the forest and breezes right on through; living with a demon elemental apparently leaves you a bit jaded on spooks*

Oh my, look at that girl fly! Go Hum! Just remember to pace yourself! Don't want to trip and fall at the end!

Come on Ember! Haul some butt!

You go, Blue!! 8D

Omg Misery! You'd think an Earth Misery would do better in a haunted forest XD

The final obstacle, a dark and mysterious cave is spotted and surpassed by the lead racer, is the end in sight now?


Wow, Hum is just zipping through :O
