So I'm gonna be taking a break for a bit.

I'm not even sure how long it'll be tbh.
Might be a couple weeks, or I might even be back tomorrow. I honestly don't know.

I truly appreciate you all and I look forward to hopefully interacting with everyone again once I get back 🫶

Not really in the mood for a lecture from the crocodile, the Ninja ignores the call and just stares out at the track...

𝑰'𝒎 𝑬𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 @ninjachameleon.bsky.social · Sep 13

Sitting at the finish line, Espio looked up at the sign at his placement, he didn't even want to know how bad he messed this up

"11th place.."

Almost dead last, only K Rool was behind him

"I was so close.. I had it! How can I let this happen.."

His phone was vibrating again, probably Vector

“Yeah Vector ….. I know! …. Yes I know we were counting on that prize money for this month's rent… I don’t know!"

"Look, the race is still going to have to go... Yeah... I don't know... I guess we’ll just have to pawn Charmy’s switch or something…"

Hanging up as he focuses back on the race

Tailing in dead last after being knocked back from starting at 1st, Espio felt a sudden vibration in his pocket. Taking out his phone and looking at the ID

“Shit..”

Answering the phone to immediate yelling, loud enough that others could likely even hear it despite not being on speaker

He barely even caught her words when the chameleon gets blindsided by a weight knocking him back even further until he's trailing in last place

"Noo... Vector is gonna so pissed"

Making a last-ditch effort he tried to use his triple boost power up, hoping he can catch up somehow

Tron Bonne @heroicmisadventure.bsky.social · Sep 13

“Better luck next time lizard!”
She shouted back at him as she sped off.

Despite his boost, Espio would get caught by the slicer as it knocks him back even farther, falling 3 more places back

💭: "This cannot be happening, not again"

Slamming into the wall as he's turned around completely

"Shit.."

[[ @ninjachameleon.bsky.social ]]

Tron was still following behind Espio on the slipstream.
Finally she grabbed an item.
She a got a Slicer.

Tron throws it at Espio.
“Hey there! Don’t think I met you yet, I would talk more but you know gotta CUT things short!”

"Not like this"

He was grumbling to himself as he crossed into the final lap at 7th place before noticing Tron about ready to overtake him

"Don't think it'll be that easy"

Using his item he would boost in an attempt to create some distance between the 2

#CWGRANDPRIX

Tron Bonne @heroicmisadventure.bsky.social · Sep 13

That’s exactly what she is going to do, Tron hops right into that slipstream.

She’s going to avoid taunting the ninja for now, at least until she grabs an item to ‘greet’ him with.

WOAH with an absolute CRUNCH, Espio gets hit by the billiard ball.

Jet still in first with NiGHTS taking 2nd, and trying to close the gap!

Then Sonic and Blaze shooting up, with Tron getting hit by Alicia!

WHO GOT HIT BY ESPIO !!

Holy moly, this is exhilarating!

Espio, finally regaining his control found himself having been knocked all the way back to 7th place, just barely in front of Tron

"Damnit, I have to stop letting myself get distracted"

The chameleon drifted along in order to grab an item box to try and regain his position,

Tron Bonne @heroicmisadventure.bsky.social · Sep 13

Tron gets up and gets back on the board.
Unfortunately, she got knocked into 8th place because of this.

Espio, however wasn't so lucky.

*CRACK*

Smacked head-on by the billiard ball, the chameleon began to spin out as he fell behind not only Jet, but NiGHTS, Blaze and, unable to regain control in time, crashing right into Alicia, sending them both back even further

#CWGrandPrix

Jet the Hawk @jetthehawk.bsky.social · Sep 13

WHAM...just barely dodged. Jet could feel the ground quake at his flank, but a near-miss was still a miss. He was through.

𝑰'𝒎 𝑬𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 @ninjachameleon.bsky.social · Sep 13

Swerving around the giant poker chips, Espio was so focused on avoiding the obstacles that he hadn't noticed Jet once again coming up alongside him until it was seemingly too late

#CWGRANDPRIX

𝑰'𝒎 𝑬𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 @ninjachameleon.bsky.social · Sep 13

Once they make it to the next lap, Espio let out a bit of a sigh, having pretty much been holding his breath the whole time he crossed the portal

But there was no time to relax. That was only the first lap.

"Alright, let's see what we've got here"

Jet the Hawk @jetthehawk.bsky.social · Sep 13

... The swerve cost him speed, but he was still rushing towards the line, trying to at least get the moral victory of leading the first lap.

But who'd take that honor?

With an astounding first and second Espio, and Jet are going head to head!

It seems to be firing up, with Alicia and Tron taking 3rd and 4th respectively.

Krypt and NiGHTS, hanging around 5th and 6th! And Toph coming in 6th..

Espio eyeing the other track would open another item box, sending a rocket punch behind him towards the rogue

Making a beeline for the next Crossworld

"I think it's time to take a bit of a gamble"

And finishing the first lap he would then flip another 1440° as he lands on the giant Roulette wheel

𝑰'𝒎 𝑬𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 @ninjachameleon.bsky.social · Sep 12

From the boost pad he would then go off the ramp flipping over Jet as he landed directly in front of him
