[Jessimyre]

(I appologise in advance for crappy accents and incorrect info. I was born and raised in Aus and doing my best from movies and a one-week visit to Virginia)

Ivania turned off the ignition and stepped out of her car into noise. Muted in the vehicle it assaulted her full force as she closed the door behind her and walked into the crowd, finger trailing the bonnet until she walked out of reach. She paused a moment to look back and smiled. There she was, restored to her former glory as the fastest thing on four wheels this side of the border.

Already Ivania noticed many admiring looks and for once not all of them were for her.

"Damn, girl!" a voice hailed her. She looked round to see an old friend gazing at the Supra with reverence in his eyes. "Didn't know you'd finished her up already."

"Hey Bash." Ivania greeted him. He looked up, dark eyes twinkling above a pearly white grin. His black skin and dark clothes camoflaged him well at night but always that smile hovered around his face.

Bash had a usual retinue of girls following him, each with a body to die for and his arm slung casually over the shoulder of his current favourite, a petite blonde. The girls regarded Ivania with venom in their eyes. She wasn't popular.

"You comin' to the Warehouse tonight?" he asked.

"Got no ID." she answered.

"I get you in," he answered confidently, "I spinnin' there tonight. No problem."

"Maybe." she answered, indifferently. Bash nodded to a nearby van with music pumping out of the custom stereo where a group were dancing and whooping, urging each other to greater efforts. "Go on, I be wit cha in a minute." he said to the girls. Giving Ivania one last look of scorn the blonde strutted off, her girlfriends following. As they passed Ivania heard them mutter something about her. "... ice queen." said the blonde, "Nah, frozen bitch." answered another with a giggle but by now they were out of reach.

"Damn Bash what is it with you and these trailer-park slags?" Ivania asked with a half grin.

"Hey, a man gotta get his freak on. And they put out." he shrugged modestly. "An' you keep turning me down. What's a guy to do?"

"You can't afford me, Bash." Ivania laughed above the music, laughter, and the sweet music of finely tuned engines.

"Yo, yo, we're goin' live in five!" a cry was heard to the left.

"So, the Warehouse?" Bash pressed.

"Yeah maybe." Ivania conceded, flicking a stray strand of inky black hair over her shoulder. "After I beat your ass on the quarter." she teased.

"One day I'll take that challenge. Might wait till I've got a better ride." Bash laughed and turned to follow his girlfriend. "Until later then." and he swaggered into the crowd - greeting friends left and right.

Ivania turned and leaned lightly on her car, arms folded over her sleeveless shirt. A few guys whistled at her in passing but they were half hearted. Bad news travells fast. She wondered whether they'd let her race tonight. She sorely needed the money. Her hard gaze settled on a man in the distance who was chatting to another. He was tall with a goatee and a rich gold chain around his neck. Jay, the man who called the races and the man who said who raced, and who didn't.

((I hope it's okay if i just start Jessi, and I hope we're all starting at the same place too))

Terra grinned as she cut the engines and slid out of her car. She loved the attention of the fact she was one of the few who raced in an Australian made ute. She sat down on the bonnet crossing one leg over the other as she watched a group of guys walk past several of them looking her up and down, not quiet suer what to make of the tight jeans and flannelette shirt she was wearing.

Looking over at them she smiled, flashing perfectly straight white teeth,
“G’Day mates” She said quietly watching looks of confusion cross the boy’s faces before they walked off. She loved the atmostphere at races but she loved the actual racing even more, she turned her head slightly looking over to where Jay was talking, she couldn’t help but pray she’d be able to race, she just lost her last job and needed food.

[Jessimyre]

Ivania couldn't help herself, she turned to stare at the truck pulling in nearby, the rumble of it's V8 a contrast to the lighter buzzing of the Japanese imports that surrounded it. Curiosity got the better of her and she strolled over to take a closer look.

She strolled around it with the authority of a lifetime car enthusiast, taking in the shape, badges and custom paintwork.

"I ain't seen you before." she said to the girl who stood by it. Her gaze took in the jeans and flannelette shirt that was tied in a knot at the bottom.

"You a cop?" oh well, might as well get the formalities over. Bash, Jay and a couple of other regular racegoers were eyeing the new girl in suspicion.

Alex drove straight in, coming to a halt in the most flashy fashion her knew. Braking just in time to avoid killing Jay, the race organiser. He turned off the engine and jumped out of the modified Alfa Romeo Spider. He walked over to Jay who now had a hand in his pocket, no doubt for either a gun or a knife. Alex smiled broadly,
"Jay old buddy!" he said and held his arms out wide. Jay frowned,
"Do I know you?" he asked venomously. Alex laughed and put an arm round Jay's shoulder,
"You're funny man. I'm here with a proposition for ya Jay." he smiled as the race organiser's frown slowly disappeared,
"What kinda proposition?" he asked, not really able to help himself. Alex smiled and pointed to his car,
"If I lose the race, as in come in last place, then you get my baby." he sighed, "Just be promise you'll be gentle with her will ya?"
Jay looked the car up and down,
"Ya in the race."
Alex smiled and patted him on the back,
"Good decision Jay." he said before slowly walking away from the organiser and the car. He hadn't even decided what to do yet but he knew from experience that hanging around after a deal like that was bad for your health as the other man usually got very annoyed. Jay noticed the truck pull up, the paint and body modified so much that it could be nothing else but a racer's car. He saw the two girls standing in front of the truck. He walked up to them and tapped on the bonnet,
"You ladies mind if I take a look? I just love a chance to look at car's that aren't Jap imports."

[Jessimyre]

Nobody could have missed the Spider's arrival. The tall guy who jumped out of it seemed to be in a hurry to arrive, a hurry to speak to Jay and then in a hurry to be elsewhere. Ivania stepped aside, arms folded and one eyebrow raised as she took in another newcomer.

This one, though she had seen around. She'd never spoken to him but she knew him. She waited for the new girl's response to them both.

[Renos Babe]

Terra laughed dryly and shook her head,
"Naw mate could neva stand them cops, just moved her from Aus and decided to check otu the local race scene" She stood up and walked away from the bonnet of her car, her thumbs in her pocket,
"Go ahead mate" She said quietly before turnin her head, back towards teh other girl.

[Nefieslab]

Alex poped the hood and stared the V8 engine and the modifications she'd made to it. He smiled and ran a finger along it's surface,
"Nice to see an engine made of metal around here. The Jap cars are all made of plastic." he smiled, "You two want to see my baby?"

[Jessimyre]

The accent suprised Ivania, she'd never met an Australian before and was immediately intrigued. She gazed over the gleaming engine under the bonnet of the truck and paid special attention to the turbo. Powerful with 8 cylinders... but heavy.

"Yeah sure." Ivania shrugged, "Plastic imports are light-weight for a reason. Lighter than this." she indicated the truck. Wandering through the crowd she followed the tall stranger to his car.

"Ivania." she introduced herself to the girl and guy. "Ivania Castilo."

[Nefieslab]

Alex smiled as they made their way to his car,
"My name is Alexander Theodore Rebind. But call me either Alex or Limey if you'd be so kind." his smile widened as they reached his car, "And this is my baby."

[Renos Babe]

Terra smiled, "My baby has enough power to over come that disadvantage" She said with a grin,
"The names Terra, Terra Younga" Seh said with a grin before looking over Alex's car,
"Nice mate very nice"

[Jessimyre]

Ivania smiled back, doubting that the truck would out perform her own vehicle but knowing the Spider would surely give her a run for her money. She glanced up at Jay who was even now coming over to start the race. As he made his way through the crowd, Ivania spotted a man walk in front of him as the crowd parted. She focused for a second on his face, it seemed familiar somehow... Uh Oh.

"Time to go." Ivania turned on her heel and began sprinting back to her car. Jay saw her move, turned to look at whatever had caused her to leave and in just seconds one of the boys on radio duty flung himself out of his car and cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Cops! Go go go!" he screamed. Even before he'd got all four words out, a siren started up, somewhere near.

Chaos ensued, the crowd as one broke and ran, a hundred people scattering and revving up their vehicles. The Supra was running and Ivania blared the horn, inching forward as people streamed past.

"Shit!" she swore, the first police vehicle flew out of a side street nearby, several more in its wake. Then she got a clear spot and gunned the engine.

The empty back street was suddenly a highway with an influx of vehicles racing away in all directions. The street ahead of Ivania was blocked.

"Fuck." she snapped, speeding toward them. In an instant she slammed her foot on the clutch, ripped the handbreak and spun the wheel, sliding the lightweight vehicle in a perfect 180 turn, gunned the engine and raced back the way she had come. She had to get away, she just had to.

[Renos Babe]

As soon as Ivania had moved Terra sprinted off towards her car, not bothering to open the door she slid into the front seat and guned the engine taking off quickly. She was used to driving in crowded terrain so her speed didn't change as she dodged people and cars. Noticeing most the streets where blocked Terra spun her car in a random direction taking off down a clear street, avoiding the cops as she did so. She had no intention of getting deported just yet.

[Nefieslab]

Alex turned on his heels and opened the door in one fluid motion. He jumped into the driver's seat and drove off as speed, trusting people to get out of his way rather than wait for them to move.
He was soon clear of the bulk of traffic however and he gunned the engine, fully aware that a squad car was closing in on him from behind. He out drove the police car, taking corners at break neck speeds and using his turbo to great effect. He slowed as he reached a street corner where a street walker was practicing her trade and pulled her into the car via the still open door. He closed the door, ignoring her protests and drove faster until he reached a layby. He pulled in, locked the brakes on and kissed the hooker, pinning her arms to he sides to stop her from flailing around. A few seconds later the sound of sirens came nearer until a police officer came running up to Alex's door,
"Sir you're being arreste..." he stopped and looked at the ground when he saw Alex and the hooker in a tangled mass of limbs. Alex feigned anger,
"Do you mind you filthy pervert! Me and my wife were about to begin in a bout of passionate love making!" he looked at the hooker and winked, a gesture the officer didn't notice. The hooker nodded,
"Yeah man! You're totally tryin' to talk smack about ma man with no fuckin' proof! That's just wrong man!" she said in her normal way. Alex groaned internally. The officer raised an eyebrow,
"You two are married?" he asked, obviously sceptical. Alex shook with his fake rage,
"How dare you! It's people like you that mean that our society is closed off and isolated! If I cannot marry this woman then what does that say about this country? Are we really that near sighted?!" he demanded of the officer, deliberately playing on the officer's sense of patriotism. The officer whipped a tear from his eye,
"Carry on sir! This world needs more people like you!" the officer sniffed and walked back to his squad car.
Alex watched as the squad car drove away. Alex threw the hooker out through the door and closed it behind her,
"Thanks for the cover baby! See ya next time!" he shouted after her as he drove off.

[Jessimyre]

Ivania saw the tail end of the truck vanish down a side street and throwing caution to the winds, flew after it, entering the street at a slide. As she sped down the straight street, she suddenly recalled Bash. Looked like she was heading to the Warehouse after all. Let the cops find her in there! She didn't fancy the Australian girl's chances - if she was new she wouldn't know the streets or the best places to hide.

Gunning the engine she dropped down a gear and stamped on the accelerator. The Supra surched forward in response and with a thrill bordering on the fluttering wings of fear she over-took the truck, flashing her lights at Terra as she passed, hoping the girl would have the sense to follow. The end of the street was fast approaching and offering a silent prayer, she drifted around the corner at breakneck speed, narrowly missing an oncoming car that screamed to a halt at her sudden appearance. Heart hammering, she flew down the street, already mapping out the best route in her head and hoping Terra could keep up.

Two squad cars had been behind her and would now have the truck in their sights. She thanked her lucky stars she'd thought to bag the license plate before she left home that evening as she raced along the street and then slowed a little for another turnoff. She prayed that the route she was choosing would give them enough breathing space to get under cover safely.

They'd already left most of the street racers long behind, everyone scattering in different directions in the sure knowledge they couldn't all be chased at once.

Slowing down, she turned another tight bend into yet another new street along the backs of warehouses in an industrial estate and gunned it again. Not far now, and they'd be safe. She hoped.

[Renos Babe]

Terra noted Ivania's signal and took off after her without hesitation, thankfull she'd removed ehr plates before coming.
She could hear the cops behind her but didn't look as seh skidded around the corner, making sure to keep the rear end of Ivania's car infront of her.
