to USS Artemis-A – StarBase 118 Star Trek PBEM RPG
OOC I forgot to thank Freya, Alyndra Syrex from the Ronin, for bringing to “physical form” the mini Sil and mini Lyara dolls.
And Isa, our own Lyara Alroyo, for thinking of them ;)

Vitor gave Zie the final explanations, before she started playing.
Silveira: Now you can pick the track and if you want manual or automatic shifts. The auto settings are easier, but the car doesn't go as fast, no matter the track you pick.
There's three tracks: easy , medium and hard.
And the option to do a one on one race.
You have to get the highest position out of twenty cars and reach the waypoints in time. I think each race is three laps.
Obviously you start from the bottom.
MacKenzie: Response
Vitor smiled as Nan got closer, and he reached for her hand. His smile widened when he felt her gentle squeeze.
Zie had navigated the menu and the countdown was starting.
Silveira: Have fun…
Jovenan: You got them, sir!
If he wasn't with Nan by his side he would like to see Zie’s face. He had a feeling she was going to enjoy herself.
It wasn't exactly the perfect moment he was hoping for. But it looked perfect enough.
MacKenzie: Response
Vitor smiled when Zie took off, but then turned back his attention to Nan when she stepped a little closer, staring at him as their other hand met. With Zie’s attention focused on the game he was glad they managed another moment.
Jovenan: Thank you for showing me this place. It’s amazing!
Silveira: I am glad you liked it.
It was as if they were in their own buble. Although again Zie had to cut it.
MacKenzie: Response
Vitor barely understood what she was asking, and only half replied.
Silveira: Yes the car does take damage, if you're lucky the hood pops up and flies…
The space between them grew smaller as it was his time to squeezed her hands.
Vitor’s smile couldn’t be longer as Nan spoke slowly.
Jovenan: I would… love to stay and… play another game with you… ::steps away, quicker:: But I think I should get back to work now.
oO No… Oo
Vitor expression turned from happiness to sadness in the second Nan stepped away.
He reached for her hands again, giving them a stronger squeeze before letting them go. Nodding, he replied softly.
Silveira: I… Don’t want you to go, but I understand…
Jovenan/MacKenzie: Response
He rolled his eyes, not even worrying if Zie could see him.
Silveira: Why don’t you try another track, Captain?
Jovenan/MacKenzie: Response
He looked at Nan and for a moment considered following her, Zie could stay in the holodeck and he and Nan could go somewhere else and…
Vitor grinned and before Nan went too further away he almost shouted.
Silveira: Nan, wait…
Jovenan: Response
He raced quickly to where the mini dolls were resting and he grabbed the mini Sil. Barely the next second he was holding to Nan, with a smile.
Silveira: Here… I would like you to take it. That way I am always… Close…
Vitor hoped that Nan would accept it, but he quickly remembered they weren’t alone.
And as that old expression went, the Devil is in the details.
And they had a 5'9", 135 lbs, red hair detail still around.
