"I still do quite a bit of ads yet during the off season, as well as the publicity meets and such." She watched Logan run a few laps and smiled. "Well, I think I know who he got that trait from..."
Edward couldn't help but to smile a little at the display. He was pretty quick for that age.

(((((OOC: I think that Grayston believes that Jolsten would be much better to him alive than dead... there could many uses in that... and I don't know if Kamui wants to join or not... I've given her a lot of opportunities to do so... Mineshaft? I really haven't played the videogame that much...)))))
Ebony paused in the street when she heard Phoenix's thought-speak in her mind, noting the familiar tone of YOU-MAY-NOT-LIKE-THIS. With Ryder's help, she learned how to easily communicate with the other magic-users.
She tentatively replied, 'Who is it, Nix?'
~~~~~
"Okay, we'll head on up to the Wheel Well," said Maven as she took the lead again.

((Joltsen knows exacly where the nugget is, the problem is that it is not visible at all in his engine, and it is actually fused inside one of his pistons. Grayston could maybe keep him alive just so that he wouldn't have to spend the next five years taking apart every single piece of Joltsen. And Joltsen knows that he will die without that nugget.))
"Did Ebony say anything else about dad?" Adrian asked curious.

(((Yeah as long as he still has a use to him. Grayston won't kill him until he get what he wants.)))
"I do a little bit here and there," Phoenix said. "Mostly things for the ex-cons and Tuners. I try to keep my kids out of the spotlight as much as I can due to their heritage. A lot think that they could be the next for super cars."
She laughed as she watched Logan show off. "Yeah, Logan's decided he wanted to be a racer after the last race I had."
"Momma and Daddy say I can race if I wanna." Logan said. "I wanna Pistor Cup like Mamma."
"Thats Piston Cup Sweetie," she corrected. "And it'll be a few years before that will happen."
'You remember Annie right,' Phoenix said to Ebony. 'Well she's in town with her boy...'

Anastasia smiled at the little boy and his eagerness. The future of the Piston Cup- and racing as a whole- depended on children like these. Not so much for the genetics, but the racing spirit. "Edward hasn't said much about racing for a career. I'm not about to tell him otherwise if he doesn't want to; I remember how much I hated it when my father told me I don't belong on the racetrack, and I don't want to be the same way. As long as my son is happy."

"Mom said he was nice and helped her out with more than just babysitting us," replied Maven, "Like with that demon that had been tormenting her. So she returned the favor by helping him with his public image. That was the reason why Krill and I were with him that one time."
~~~~~
'Yeah, I remember Annie,' replied Ebony to Phoenix, 'She was together with this Toyota named Eddie... Kuramoto... he was the demon... and we had to kill him to save him... Now I'm a little afraid to approach the diner... Are Maven and Krill still there?'

((So, a Grayston plot is plausible.))
"Thank you." Adrian said with no explanation as of why she was thanking Maven. When they arrived at the Wheel Well, she stopped and inspected the design. "I saw one like that in Britain, but this is older. Much older."

(((It should work out alright, Graystons gonna be coming to town soon trying to make it look like he's turned around and also be trying to get his tires on the town with a littke help of some classic baddies. But I don't know if this will before of after everyone goes on the treasure hunt.)))
"Thats all we all want," Phoenix said as she watched Logan run circles. "We want to see our kids happy. But there are other careers beside racing. My cousin Kitt, born in a racing family and married into it. He's a lawyer and one of the guys next in line to take over the Pontiac Clan in another year, thanks to a little help from a few of us."
'The Twins aren't here Ebs', she sent back. 'They're with Aiden at the waterfalls'.
~~~~~
Chase had wandered away from town and followed after his cousins. "Hey guys wait up!" He yelled as he caught up with them.

"His grandparents have a Toyota parts business in Kentucky- they wanted his father to take over for them, but..." She shrugged. "He wanted to be a racer. So there's always that as well."
Seeing the little car continue to drive in circles amused her and she chuckled. "He hasn't made himself dizzy yet? I must be getting old- I am just watching him."

"It's almost 60 years old," Maven explained, "Back then it used to take in regular guests daily, or so that's what our mom told us, then it became run-down and then left to fall into disrepair when the Interstate was built. Only about 15 years ago was it renovated and restored to it's original form by the efforts of Sally, Lightning, and our grandmother, Melody. Our grandmother runs the place now."
Krill, while listening to his sister speak, turned at the sound of the familiar engine. "Hey, Chase," he said as the young Vipes Am came up, "What's up?"
~~~~~
Jade rested after the birth with her son in the backroom of the shop. She was worn and needed time to recover. The emerald green Ferrari Enzo hadn't thought of a name for her son yet, but she knew that he was already special.
Later. Sleep now. She rested her chin on the pad and felt the presence of Indigo by her side, which was rather comforting. She fell asleep like this.
~~~~~
Ebony hesitated. She knew that the twins would go occupy themselves whenever there was something like a birth going on, but they wouldn't go too far away from town because they knew that she could sniff them out. She hoped that they would've gone somewhere like the Butte or up to the Wheel Well with Adrian.
'So, is it alright for me to approach the diner, Nix?' Ebony asked Phoenix.

"No," Phoenix laughed. "He's just pure energy. Could give his brother a run for his money when he was that age." she put her tire in the toddler's path.
Logan skidded clumsily to a stop and looked up at his mother. "Take a breather, kiddo. Can't have you going through another set of tires already."
''Its fine Ebs', Phoenix sent back, 'Annie's son is perfectly fine at the moment'.
~~~~~
"Nothing," Chase said as he pulled up to them. "Mom's talking to another Pontiac and I was bored so I came to see what ya doing."
He stopped and looked at the other girl that was with the twins. "Hey."

She couldn't help but to smile at the endearing little boy. "Edward was like that when he was little before his father's genetics took over. He calmed down a bit, at least."

"I think we're all bored at the moment," said Krill.
~~~~~
'Okay, if you say so,' Ebony sent and after a bit pulled back into her stall at the diner. She looked over at Phoenix.
