BEHIND THE SCENES
Re: BEHIND THE SCENES
But as t was, she was here. Proud warrior, overcoming all tasks put before her.
She was spending extra time on her hair now that someone had taught her how to make it look "Fierce" but not girly. When she brushed it out there was so much of it, she felt powerful thinking of it blowing behind her in the wind, singed by her lightning or soaked and heavy with the blood of her enemies.
Speaking of enemies...the girl who had helped her win the last round was the final obstacle on her path to the top. Whoever won Stacy would win, but as a matter of pride she would give Rachel her best.
no subject
Though really, she was also proud of having met the challenges. She was too determined to quit now. And definitely too set in this to let Ruffnut win.
"Gotta say, I'd rather it be you and not one of the others who were here." There were worse choices. Though she would have liked the chance to pound Sirius without holding back.
no subject
"You'd like her. She's like us you know? A warrior."
That was the thing. Ruffnut could tell the more she watched Rachel that underneath that flawless skin was a viking woman. It was something in the way she held herself, something in the cold stares she had given the judges. Ruffnut could recognize one of her own and Rachel would have fit in perfectly on Berk.
no subject
She tossed her hair slightly, before she asked, "So how literally do you think they take this challenge?"
no subject
"As crazy as it is though, they must be doing something right if we're still here."
no subject
"Well, clearly they have some taste if they picked us," she said, straightening out into her perfect posture and form. Then she paused and said, "Actually, I'm not sure even picking us over the others can make up for all the other crap they've pulled."
no subject
no subject
"I'm pretty sure nothing in the mission briefing said we couldn't take it out on them afterwards." And then a pause. "Not that that'd matter." Because really, 'failing' Stacy was a pretty low concern.
no subject
She may feel differently after watching how the cameras portrayed her experience though.
no subject
no subject
This was different though. Somehow...she had been important enough. Special enough to win her way to the top.
And that thought filled with her with determination. Sure it didn't matter really which one of them won, Stacy won in the end.
But Ruffnut was determined. This was HER mission to put in the win column.
THE PHOTOSHOOT
The shoot itself should appeal to both models, as they're to dress as warrior princesses with shields, breastplates and....miniskirts. And somehow they're supposed to look like warriors with their midriffs bared and while selling CoverGirl lip gloss and pouting sexily.
But surely these two young ladies can manage that.
[Tag in and set up your own subthreads. I'll tag back with NPCs.]
Re: THE PHOTOSHOOT
Using a spear and shield she was the picture of a Valkyrie.
And it didn't hurt that she provided her own special effects as lightning burst from her spear butt when she slammed it to the ground. Her hair flew wildly like the howling winds were sweeping it back, but her struggles to learn proper hair care was paying off.
Re: THE PHOTOSHOOT
"That. Was. Fabulous!" Jay gushes after the shoot. "Now go kill it on the runway! But don't actually kill it!" He's contractually obligated to disclaim that.
no subject
She'd have to throttle Marco before he is ever allowed to know she thought that.
With a fierce and determined walk onto the runway, Rachel hoists her weapon up confidently and determinedly. She can totally mix grace with ferocity, right? She swings herself into a 'ready for battle' pose, once she's close to the end of the walk.
no subject
So yes, Rachel, parse that mixed simile and look both fierce and sad. Basically, be Cassie.
no subject
Instead of really doing the 'vulnerable' thing, she mostly just scowled at the judges. Resentful and begrudging almost counted, right?
no subject
When the shoot's done, he rushes Rachel off to the runway without another word in her direction.
THE RUNWAY
And they're to be in bumper cars.
With jousting swords.
To be aimed at each other.
The judges sit atop golden thrones. Talleyho's muumuu drapes down the steps almost to the runway. Noted Fashion Photographer Nigel is practically salivating. Jay joins them and rubs his hands together with glee.
Tyrant sips white wine from a golden skull. "Walk." Or scoot. Whatever.
Make it fierce, girls.
[Ruffnut and Rachel, tag each other like mad!]
no subject
Though really, after the chicken stuff and the other challenges, she can't really complain much.
Rachel raises and eyebrow at the fact that it's a racetrack but she's not exactly about to stop short now.
She turns to Ruffnut and simply says "bring it."
no subject
no subject
Okay that was unlikely.
She turned the car, surging forward to meet Ruffnut head on, jousting sword held high and ready.
no subject
The cars connected and lances clashed sending Ruffnut into a wild spin. Her lancetip dug into the ground lifting her out of the car.
The car continued on without her and her eyes were wide with surprise as gravity brought her back down bending the lance in a perfect arc.
She grinned wickedly knowing what would come next as the lance snapped back into form launching her through the air lance and all, hair whipping about before she landed with a less then delicate crash somehow feet first into the bumper car.
Rising to her feet again as the car slid to a slower pace she looked over her shoulder to see how Rachel had done, a twisted smile on her face.
no subject
Ruffnut, of course, had pulled quite the impressive move. Rachel's face was something close to 'impressed.'
She didn't wait before she kicked the machine forward again, but this time coming at her at the opposite angle as Ruffnut had her weapon ready.

Forcing the car into a hard turn back towards her opponent, Rachel stood in the seat and waited until she was just close enough-- to jump for Ruffnut's vehicle.
no subject
Lowering her shoulder she braced for impact and caught Rachel head on. No slowing down. No flinching. The two collided with bone rattling force and Ruffnut's long arms were grabbing immediately for any hold they could get be it hair, clothes or soft fleshy parts to try an keep Rachel's momentum going and get her out of her cart!
no subject
no subject
But gravity had it's way with her and she began to fall to the side still flailing at Rachel with whatever amount of training she could remember. It took all she had not to use her lightning powers just to cook the blond warrior.
And then their cart hit a wall.
no subject
Rocking hard, she was forced to let go and tumbled to the ground, landing uncharacteristically ungracefully on her butt and skidding painfully. She swore, but fortunately she wasn't hurt too badly. The fact that the car was moving painfully slowly helped. In the meantime, her car puttered off in the opposite direction.
Suddenly realising she should act, she scrambled for the weapon that had fallen before, hoping to get there before Ruffnut could come after her.
no subject
She threw herself, full body not at the Lance, but at Rachel aiming for a pounce like a junglecat.
no subject
She skidded across the ground at the impact, and swung out for Ruffnut in retaliation
no subject
Still she felt the pain burning new life into her. Fire in her veins and lightning in her brain. Eyes wide she began to laugh with the exhilaration of it all and began swinging one fist after the other in rapid succession. Weapons were great, but hand to hand was her favorite. The direct contact that sent vibrations through her bones, that cracked her knuckles. It was like life itself pouring into her.
THE JUDGING
[Tag and the judges will deliver their verdict.]
Re: THE JUDGING
She'd almost forgotten about the competition.
