“ that’s what my other bike is for , ” she comments offhandedly as if this is a topic she’s spoken in length about . but the reality is , lari hardly talks about herself . not enough where the prowlers know every facet about her life . “ track racing only though . it’s too fucking dangerous to race those in the street . ” she finally looks up to meet plum’s gaze . “ glad you think so . ” lips tug up into a small smirk . “ why the sudden interest in my bike anyway ? you thinkin’ of adding motorcycles to the list of things you’ll pose with ? ”
⋆ lari macedo 🛞 @tun3rs ⋆ rodani wheels
" have you ever thought of racing that thing? " she points a long, intricately designed acrylic nail at the sleek motorcycle maestro rode in on while the other lazily spiraled around her hair. it was something that giselle noted the mechanic appeared with more often than any four wheeled vehicle like the rest of them, and god was she nosy. she observes them with a squint, a look that comes across far different than her next words convey— call it a symptom of resting bitch face. " looks hot. "

“ is that any way to talk to someone who wants to help you solve your problem ? ” lari asks in an almost bored tone . they hate that the prowlers are on a losing streak . it damn sure isn’t any of the mechanics’ faults they can tell you that much . and yet , part of them feels like there’s an unspoken blame to be placed on the mechanics purely because the racers aren’t winning races . and it’s not a pride thing for lari . okay well , it kind of is . a fucking degree in mechanical engineering and they’re here as a mechanic for a street racing crew ? they’re here to do their best regardless . but that’s besides the point . the point is , each race the prowlers lose is money walking out the window . and they’ll be damned if they let that happen . besides , jet’s current extended losing streak ? it compels them like an unsolvable puzzle .
open to anyone, set at track - one after monday’s race …
if there’s any feeling jet wears on his face openly and without shame, it is anger. often directed at himself – a thirteenth place finish from a second place start is reason enough to express without guilt, he thinks. his car door slams behind him as he finally gets out from the driver’s seat, minutes after the race had been called. as he walks away from the track, no destination in mind, the desperation makes his hands shake and his skin crawl. he needs an answer for why this is happening – what he is doing wrong. his mind replays the race already; every turn, straightaway, and overtake burned into his memory to be reviewed over and over again ad nauseum. he has to get it right. the sound of footsteps behind him isn’t enough to make him stop or turn, instead over his shoulder goes a clear: “ fuck off. ”

the feeling is indescribable . as it always is whenever she secures herself a victory . it’s electrifying , all encompassing . even something as small as crossing the finish line of a practice race at track-one , a victory is a victory . she steps out of her car and shuts the door , a gleeful grin encompassing her features . and the sight of a prowler does little to dampen it . however , it does help that it’s phantom . a racer that came up with her in the scene but ultimately joined a rival crew . they probably should be a little more … hostile given tensions . but juno wouldn’t go as far as to call phantom an enemy . a rival ? absolutely . but not quite an enemy . “ how about executing that drift perfectly ? ” she’ll jest , strolling over to them . “ i’m always here . at this point , i could spend the night here and the owners won’t even bat an eye . what about you ? burning rubber or just here to watch ? ”
status . closed to @tun3rs , juno choi.
setting . as the sun is setting around track - one ; tania stands just outside of the finish line.
nothing happens here until the world goes dark and the lights turn bright, except when it does. the sky is still a bright orange when viper crosses over the finish line, and tania leans in. close enough to touch — or for some passing car zooming past to nick the ends of their hair. there's a rare smirk tugging on their lips. with the night still this young, viper is yet to be an enemy. they saunter over. "anything i should be congratulating you for yet?" tania starts, hands shoved into their jacket pockets. "was wondering if i was gonna see you on track tonight."

after speaking to the photographer about some of the best angles to capture her car , juno saunters over to the model and stops right next to her . curious eyes peer over horizon’s shoulder to see the selection of cars in question . “ well that depends … ” she starts , lips twisting up in thought . “ according to the market , it is a good year for cars . but again , it depends . what kind of car are you looking for ? euro ? japanese ? domestic ? ”
🖇 open starter for everybody. feel free to assume connections.
situated @ wherever the hell people shoot photoshoots : ⏰ don't know
legs crossed on white stool and fingers flipping through a magazine, pages branded with coupons and ads for local stores, before finally noticing the person standing still beside them ( finally recognizing them ). “ 'says here that there are new cars in the market. whaddya think? which one should i get…? ” imani mutters, pointing at a few that she must had circled with red pen with obnoxiously high prices.

“ this is why we can’t have nice things . ” a look of disdain mars their features at the sight of of the nariza bois entering their turf . while lari may not care about the street racing aspect of it all , they feel a sense of … loyalty to the prowlers . granted , the loyalty is built solely due to monetary reasons but hey ! they’ve been with them for five years with no plans to leave . “ they better not start some shit here , i swear . ”

“ first off , the fit is super cute . second , how did you even fight in that ? ” it’s truly no shade at xile but the outfit the mechanic is currently sporting is clearly meant to be a standing outfit . not so much of a get into a brawl kind of outfit . or anything that involves much movement .

she’s not even sure why she continues to show up to these meets . but lari supposes that it has to do with her innate fascination with the cars that just can’t keep her away . she spots tania not too far off and makes her way over to them . “ nice ride , ” she comments , a playful smile gracing the mechanic’s lips . “ is it me or is today the day that everyone decided to get into a fight ? ” guess those hands are rated e for everyone .

despite working with the nariza mechanics , juno likes taking a hands on approach with her car . it’s the years spent working at her uncle’s shop that really forced her to learn and get to where she is now . “ so this is my daily and not what i race with , ” she starts , hand patting the roof of her white honda nsx . “ it’s nothing too crazy . marga hills aero kit . ” she’ll point to the changes on her front bumper , side skirts , front and rear fenders . “ added a carbon wing –– slightly modified . swapped out the rear lights , ” she’ll point to the heart taillights . “ upgraded the chassis so it’s more stable . i got some help there with the coilovers . and the piece de resistance , ” she pauses to pop the hood of her car . “ three liter engine with vtec . truly a thing of beauty . mostly stock . but a couple changes were made to give it a bit of oomf . i won’t go into too much detail but let’s just say the changes were so worth it because the car sounds so sexy and satisfying . ” she can yap about this all day . and truthfully , if it weren’t for the fact that she LOVES driving , she really could’ve become a mechanic ! “ and of course , it wouldn’t have the viper touch without it’s signature hot pink underglow . ”
status . closed to @tun3rs , juno choi.
setting . far back inside nariza auto, in the late afternoon.
“again.” jaeha doesn’t make a habit of making demands, — not here, at least — but if there’s anyone who can handle it, it’s juno. hence the one-word request, said from his perch; leaned up against the trunk of juno’s car. there’s something about this one — the ride as much as its owner. “lay it out for me again, how you fixed this one up. which one of her is from the original model, and which is the viper touch?”

“ i mean , you voluntarily drove into a wall . can’t really blame her there ! ” lari shakes their head . bowie is certainly … something . for lack of a better word . “ oh i can drive . i just don’t like driving . personal preference . ” and it gives them an excuse to not have to drive anyone . they prefer their solitude ! and riding their motorcycle everywhere gives them that . they give the wrench one last crank before nodding in approval to themselves . “ why do you wanna drive anyway ? it’s not all that cut out to be . all that traffic . then there’s the whole parking situation . ”
hands waves dismissively, ❝ you drive into a wall one time— ❞ & she doesn't even have the gall to look embarrassed at the fact. ❝ i mean, we were so stuck. like, saw trapped. ❞ ( not at all. ) ❝ so when it's rot in a car or hit a wall, i'm taking the wall ! ❞ it's stated like the most obvious solution in the world. she peers over, tries to determine what the other is working on— remains clueless. ❝ if you can take a car apart, surely you can drive. right ? it's like- pemdas, or something. ❞

they look up from the task at hand just to narrow their eyes at him . “ you’re so dramatic . you held that transmission up for like thirty seconds tops before the jack took over . which by the way , you’re welcome . your car’s not fucked . the last thing you want to do is have transmission issues . do you even have the time to spare for a transmission rebuild ? ”
closed starter for @tun3rs, larissa macedo. ↪ they’re bffs, idk what 2 tell u. my decision, ur problem. just two besties at rodani wheels… one of whom is definitely being exploited rn
“you ever notice how every time we hang out, i end up doing manual labor? like, sure, yeah, let me just hold this transmission for you while you ‘take a quick look’—which, by the way, is never actually quick.”
