(((((OOC: Far end of the field with her twins and Slaytor... she doesn't feel like getting into the thick of the guests yet... yeah, she's being anti-social, but she'd feel better if someone were to pay attention to her children...)))))

(OOC: Okay! Kyoshi it is then!)
Kyoshi arrived early. Since Norman Malvaso was officially considered fired, this team was now Kyoshi's. She had only wandered a little ways when she saw Ebony and her twins. Her eyes lit up automatically. As though she were a school-girl on a sugar high, Kyoshi dashed over to Ebony and the twins.
"KAWWWWAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!" Kyoshi shouted gleafully as she dashed up.
Anyone caught in Kyoshi's path would most likely be bowled over by the chibi-Lexus.

Ebony was taken by surprise when Kyoshi dashed up to her and she felt an automatic urge to protect her twins. She was still pretty much on edge because she knew that Eddie was around somewhere and she really didn't want to draw attention to herself. She slackened her protectiveness when she saw that it was her twins that were getting the attention
She looked at Kyoshi with some bit of curiosity and something was telling her to be nice, "Hello, Kyoshi-san."
Slaytor remained beside her and watched on.

(OOC: Actually, you're 100%.... right! ^^ )
"Herro!* Awwww.....! Kawaii! They so cute! What names?" said Kyoshi.
(OOC: *Herro = Hello. The Japanese tend to pronounce their "Ls" like "Rs" quite often so this explains the spelling and Kyoshi's pronounciation of this "new" and "foreign" word. XD )

Ebony smiles a bit and looks down at her babies. "The little lavender one is my daughter, Maven, and the little navy blue one is my son, Krill. I had them about a year ago."

(((And I'm back from working the last few days at work)))
Kitt was weaving through the crowd looking for Sapphire. The Bonneville had arrived with Phoenix and her crew and now was trying not to get lost in the crowd.
~~~~~
Phoenix was at the edge of the crowd, getting a feel for the party. So far everyone had been accepting of the New York racer.
But right now she was looking for the familiar shogun wings of Boost and Ebony.

"Mei-venu? Ka-ri-re? They so little and cute. Me can touch?" said Kyoshi.

Ebony thought for a bit. She was still a little bit overprotective of the twins, but she was sensing that Kyoshi meant no harm, so she relaxed her guard and settled beside them.
"Sure," nodded the Viper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire was still looking for Kitt. There were more guests streaming in and she found it more difficult to spot the Bonneville. She then decided that it would be better if she found a way out of the crowd to make her search more easier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boost had arrived with his sister and Slaytor, not wanting to leave Ebony by herself. Now he sat a safe and respectable distance away while Ebony was talking to Kyoshi.

Kyoshi smiled.
"Wee! Aragatau! Aragatau gosaimasu!" said Kyoshi.
She carefully went up to the nearest twin and reach out to them with her anntena.
_____________________________________________________
Kamui had left Chick alone to stew away for a while. She sat quietly as she watched Sapphire from a distance.
Do you know how lucky you are? You're a Princess and I'm like the pauper. The underdog no one expects much of. You've been training for this all your life, I suspect. You're The King's daughter.... racing is in your family. You didn't have to fight very hard. You have it in your genetics and in your upbringing to race. I don't have that. I'm not that lucky. I grew up as a freak of nature. Doctors didn't know what I was..... I scared them. A medical anomaly. I don't have racing in my genetics like you. It never exsisted for my kind. I never grew up in a racing family with a legend like you. Even that doesn't exsist for my kind. I had to fight to get here when that was almost an impossibility. I nearly gave up racing in grade nine when I had that accident. I thought that maybe my only chances at a career were working in graphic design, making people like you look good, and as a waitress. But racing found me again and I'm back. The whole world watches us both. I have to fight against all my disadvantages while you had everything handed to you. You're lucky you don't have to fight so damn hard. You've had it easy..... you were born lucky and I was born.... a freak.... Kamui thought.

Kitt growled and worked his way out of the crowd. He might have better luck finding Sapphire if he was out of the crowd.
~~~~~
Phoenix pulled away from the crowd and turned and saw Ebony and Slaytor with the new Lexis and saw Boost parked not far from Ebony.
"Boost, you got here okay."

(((((OOC: Back... I'll be slow because I have an assignment to do...)))))
Ebony watched Kyoshi approach one of her twins. She had gone through so much trouble to be able to bring them this far. After they were born, she had gone through another bout of sickness, badly weakened from the ordeal.
When Kyoshi reached out, one of the twins, Maven, chirped curiously, catching the new scent that she found near her mother. She moved toward it, wanting to know who this new person was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire had managed to make it out of the crowd and onto the sidelines. She sees Kitt in the distance as he works his way out and heads toward him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boost nods, and answers in a soft voice, "Yeah. Just wanted to make sure Ebony and the twins made it here safely. Even though nobody can see it or smell it, she's still a little ill."

Ondine, Tex and the Weathers followed in after most of the racers, having seen off Buck and Cliff. Buck was returning to Miami for something - a favor Veronica had asked of him. He would be back on raceday morning.

Kamui sighed as she went to her pit.
"Gettin' readeh fer da bankuet?" said Shroder.
"No...." said Kamui.
"Den whot?" Shroder asked.
"Getting better. I have so much against me right now. I know I placed third for the right reasons but I wanna at least take home one Piston Cup outta these races. I have something to prove...." said Kamui.
She got out on to the track and began practising.
_______________________________________________
Kyoshi let little Maven check out her anntena. Kyoshi grinned at the chirping sound Maven made.
"You so cute. It okay..... me no big trouble," said Kyoshi.
