The Attleton Games were fun. I don't usually win anything. I mean, I didn't win the podracing either. I came in third but that was pretty good, I think.

I hope there are more fun activities around here soon.

So, um, how is everyone today?

So long as you have fun, that type of event is worth it. I mean I didn't win, but really had no reason to want to. Just had fun with it.

[He came in fourth so he couldn't complain much really.]

We have at least a house warming to look forward to, but who knows for the future.

The one with the costumes?

[truesmiles]

That's right. I'm planning on going. been a while since the last party after all.

video;

[bodhi_rook]

I don't have a costume.

video;

[truesmiles]

You have time to find one. So why not go out and look for one.

[bodhi_rook]

Are there shops for that?

video;

[truesmiles]

There are plenty, yes. I could give you addresses if you'd like?

I'm a bit new here, but I can't say I've ever heard of pod-racing. How does it work?

[Well she's never heard of the Attleton games either, but she suspects attleton is probably a place here, where pod racing has something to do with racing pods... or in pods?]

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

Oh, well it was a high speed sport where pods raced around a track but here it was more... makeshift contraptions of whatever we could get running. And it wasn't so dangerous.

Essentially? It's a race while riding machines.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

Wait... the makeshift contraptions were less dangerous than the normal pod racing?

[What the heck kind of racing did they do where this guy's from... and why?]

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

Well, yeah. They didn't go as fast, I think.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

Yes, but wouldn't you normally have more protection against high speed crashes with normal pods rather than just building them out of junk you find lying about? How fast do you normally go in these races?

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

Oh, I don't and I've only just heard about them. They were very deadly.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

... So the don't normally have more protection?

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

They must not have had. One slip and... well, I heard there were a lot of crashes. The skill was in not crashing and surviving the race.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

I guess some people will just always be thrill seekers.

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

It was much safer in these Games. We were doing it for fun.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

So how fast did this race go then?

[video]

[bodhi_rook]

Um. I don't know exact speeds. I don't think it was nearly as fast as the most legendary races.

[video]

[mira_strauss]

Well, how fast were the most legendary races?

[captain_by_the_book]

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. That was some impressive flying.

[bodhi_rook]

Thanks.

And thanks for organising it all. It went pretty well, I think.

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

It did. I'm relieved no one got hurt too bad, I wasn't sure if all athletes would honor the no-killing rule.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

It was fun, but something's up with my shooting skills. I'm usually so much better.

All right, I guess. Missing home...missing my ship...thinking there are too many imperials around to feel comfortable.

[bodhi_rook]

Yeah, I miss having a ship too.

There are a lot of people from many worlds here. Hard to compare. I didn't expect to do so well myself. Have you won shooting competitions in your world?

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Nah. Mostly just had to defend myself a few too many times. You get pretty good when your life depends on it.
