[Agent K really isn't sure that what he's given is accurate so far. Oh the race is- he knows that is going to happen eventually. But when he gets his own invitation he's more than a little baffled.]

So I just got this invitation. [There's the sound of beeping as he's reading through his comm.] Anyone else gonna take 'em up on it?

[Because he's not sure if he will or not. After that incident with the the slick streets, though, a good race might be fun. It's his kind of thing.]

You got invited? That's awesome! [Wander's not disappointed that Agent K already has his invite while he still hasn't. At least, it doesn't look like he does.]

Races are really fun, Kay! You should definitely it out!

[una_persson]

I got one too.

I can't really imagine why. It isn't as if I'm terribly fond of horses.

[most_feared]

It wouldn't be my first race. I've been in a few.

Just usually not on animals.

[most_feared]

I don't think they're going the horses route, anyway.

[Which makes it even more dubious.] Your invite say what they want you on?

[una_persson]

I don't—oh, wait.

[Long, horrified pause.]

Oh no.

[folkscallmewander]

Oh, you were a car racer?! Or maybe one of those spaceship racers, right? That's pretty neat!

Don't worry too much 'bout the animal part. I can help with that! You jus' need to be nice to 'em and they'll do whatever you say.

[timesbureaucrat]

I seem to have been excluded so far, thank Rassilon.

I shall simply have to content myself with cheering on the brave jockeys from the sidelines. [Probably for the best, since he doesn't know the first thing about riding anything that doesn't come with an on-off switch.]

[ewestmarch]

Yes, because I have nothing better to do. And I've always wanted to pretend to be a horse or a dog.

[most_feared]

Nothing forma. And something in between that. [Admittedly the closest he's come to that in decades is car chases.]

Not always the case. Some of 'em take a while. And some just got a temper.

[most_feared]

What did they do to you? [Oh this is gonna be good, he can tell.]

[most_feared]

Don't worry, you get one, Slick? You can just throw it out if you don't want it.

[most_feared]

You have notable life goals, ma'am.

[timesbureaucrat]

That's a relief.

Hours spent sitting astride a powerful animal sounds rather dangerous, and not something I have any experience in.

Do you know who invited you, or was it anonymous?

[most_feared]

It's not so bad.

I'm not sure who did it. Someone in the village. Must have seen me on the news. [Which he sounds unhappy about- he still hates having a public image.]

[timesbureaucrat]

It seems you have a fan.

Perhaps it's the security uniform. I'm told uniforms sometimes have a peculiar effect on people.

[most_feared]

Or at least someone pretty entertained by me.

Ah... well, yeah. I've heard that, too.

[He can't imagine that would be the case with him, though.]

[folkscallmewander]

Don't worry, they won't jus' give you a partner you can't race with! It wouldn't be fair, really!

...Buuuut, if ya need any help, you can always talk to me.

[una_persson]

[In a tone of high indignance:]

Did you know that there are moa here?

[most_feared]

[That is the funniest voice and he can only imagine her face.] I did not know that some of those had come in, no. Maybe they're plannin' to put in an order if people agree.

That's alright though, if it's too much for you.

[He's going to egg her on to do it. He has to.]

[most_feared]

Alright, I'll let you know.

Looks like you'd have access to a pretty good variety of animals there. You're a little guy. [Though he wouldn't be surprised if they put him on something huge.]

[folkscallmewander]

[Something big would be pretty awesome, Wander thinks.]

Oh! What kinds to they have? Anythin' from your planet?

[A pause.]

They got zbornaks?

[most_feared]

Apparently they'll bring in what they need. Whoever entered me into the race wanted me on something called a landstrider. Never heard of a Zbornak though. Unless you're talkin' about Dorothy.

[una_persson]

[She sees what you're doing there, Kay. You can hear the eyeroll in her voice.]

And what did they stick you with?

[folkscallmewander]

Ya know, Kay? That looks pretty cool. You'll definitely have fun there!

Huh. I guess zbornaks wouldn't count, seein' that they can talk.

[most_feared]

I have no idea what the hell it is, but I'll give it a shot.

[Can you blame him?]
