PNPC LtJG Jelanna Zarax: Well, That's Embarrassing
Isara Aleron
She completed the circuit and made it back to shore, a bit of adrenaline surging through her. The board was faster than she expected, but not unmanageable.
Reine'X: Ready to do the race? Fastest one wins.
It was clear from her tone that Reine’X was eager, and truthfully, so was she. She spun her board around and lined up next to her, waiting for the signal. She also spotted what Reine’X was looking at and smiled.
oO Boys. And girls. But boys. Okay, concentrate. Win the race first and don’t humiliate yourself. Oo
She spoke suggestively to her companions.
Zarax: Maybe one of them will signal the start?
Tani : We should ask.
Reine’X: Hey there, excuse me! ::She waved in a friendly manner at one of them.:: Would you mind doing a quick countdown for us so we can start this race?
One of the guys came over and Jelanna looked at him appreciatively, but decided to save that for later.
Zarax: Ready.
Tani : Ready.
Reine’X: That will do! Perfect.:: She prepared her powerboard :: I'm ready too.
The guy gave the signal and they were off. Jelanna pulled out quickly, but it was clear her competitors were very good as well, especially Reine’X who she’d known was going to be. After all, she was the relative expert in this race.
Zarax: Watch out, Reine’X. You don’t want us eating your dust, remember?
Reine'X: Haha, we shall see...! :: she shouted over the noise from the waves, and poweeboards. ::
She laughed again, trying to pull around the other Orion, but her stunt backfired. As she made her move, a large wave reared up and she was forced to back off and evade the wave causing her to lose both time and position.
Tani/ Zarax: Response
Reine’X: The turn is coming now. Girls, be careful of the land!
Tani: If you’re not, you’ll get a vitamin sea overdose!
Jelanna groaned at the joke and focused on regaining her place in the race.
Tani: Leeerrroyyy Jeenkiiiiinnnnsss!
She saw the other two kick their boards into high and did likewise. No way was she going to lose this thing.
Zarax: Oh no you don’t!
Reine’X: Response
She was just coming aside Maha and could hear the other woman chanting to herself.
Tani: Don’t fall, don’t fall!
She started to grin at her, but another rogue wave rose up to thwart her plans and she suddenly found herself flying through the air to her right to land several feet away in the water. It took her a second to resurface and by the time she had, the race was over.
Tani: Did I win?
Jelanna climbed out of the water just in time to hear that, chuckling despite her frustration at the untimely spill. She was soaked to the core, but honestly, she didn’t mind. It had been fun.
Zarax: :: laughing :: I didn’t see it, but at least you finished it.

Zarax: So, what’s next? Another race? Drinks? Beach volleyball? Other ideas?
