You'll suddenly find yourself in a cozy little room inside of a house made of sugar. In the center of a room, there's a table set up with edible objects to decorate with. If it's food of some sort, it's there.

Right in the center is a basketball-sized cookie with an outline quite similar to the persona that you have chosen.]

Well, I know heroes will push their limits to get what they want, but there isn't only one way to break those limits. Which way will you go?

(ooc instructions: Decorate your cookies and choose two boosts that you would like to add to your stats listed in the first comment below. You may then pick up to three traps + boosts [any kind of combination is fine, just three max total] which you'll be able to use during pitstops in the race.

Try to be done with this part by 11:30EST!)

IT IS A DUCKLING COOKIE. It's super cute!

SPEED: 6
POWER: 4
MAGIC: 5

What do you think? Should we boost our power and speed?

That sounds like a good idea to me. Speed especially, 'cause that's already the strongest stat, so might as well push it as far as it can go.

How about peppermint and ice cream!

I like it! They also taste better together, so it's not a weird clash of flavours.

And we can decorate with some more peppermints and frosting to match, too. What do you think about the other stuff? Maybe we should just leave the traps alone, especially if we won't have very good magic...

And sprinkles on top of the frosting, yeah. As for the rest... I agree with the traps. Let's focus more on getting ahead and less on attacking everyone else. Maybe a pixy stix, a jelly bean, and a rock candy? That way, there's a little bit of protection, but we can also focus on getting ahead.

Sounds good... But maybe a jaw breaker rather than a rock candy? If our power's already pretty high, it might protect us more.

Right, yeah. Because our power stat's pretty high. Okay, jaw breaker it is.

Sounds good to me! We're going to have the fastest and strongest and cutest car! It's got to win!

[ grins ]

Well, I don't know that "cutest" is gonna be a winning point, but...

You never know!

An extra boost from the power of cute?

Could be. Or a bonus prize.

Second place, not bad for the first round. You think we need to use any of the boosts?

We should use one, for sure! How about speed? We can save power for when we're in first!!

[ nods ]

Yeah, makes sense to me. Take the lead while we can, and then make sure we can keep it.

Exactly!

[ groans ]

Well that sucks, we slipped to third.

And we lost our power wheels...

Well, that's alright, we can still make it! Let's use the jelly beans!

Right. Go, jellybeans, go!

Come on, jump ahead...!

Damn, we slipped again! We should've grabbed some traps. Oh well, let's see if the jawbreaker helps at all.

It could have gone worse! But yeah, there's not really much else to do... our speed's still high, so maybe we'll pull through...

Well, finger's crossed. Let's do it.

Yeah, here it goes!

You have candy, food items, frosting, sprinkles, WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE. Be creative! When you're done, please put the description in one comment, ty!

[ the car has been decorated with extra peppermints, frosting, and sprinkles to go with the wheel boosts. ]

You can pick up to two car boosters to use before the race starts, and then up to three boosters or traps that you can use during pit stop decisions.

CAR BOOSTS
• Cotton candy wheels +5 magic
• Marshmallow wheels +5 magic
• Cheese wheels +5 speed
• Ice cream wheels +5 speed
• Peppermint wheels +5 power
• Cinnamon wheels +5 power

PIT STOP BOOSTS
• JUMPING JELLY BEANS - Pull ahead two cars. For every four magic points you have, you'll also pull ahead every each sequential car ahead of them.
• ROCK CANDY SHIELD – Defend yourself against one trap for one turn. For every four magic points you have, the more traps you'll be protected from.
• PIXY STIX ENERGY BOOST – Double your speed moves for the next turn.
• JAW BREAKER- Double your power moves for the next turn.
• TASTE THE RAINBOW - Double your magic for the next trap that you play.

PIT STOP TRAPS
• LAFFY TAFFY SWITCH - Switch places with the cookie ahead of you. For every five magic points you have, you'll bump up another space. However if they have four power points ahead of your magic points, your trap fails.
• MAPLE SYRUP PIT – The person behind you will only move at half speed next turn. For every four points you have, each sequential car behind them will also be stuck. However if they have four power points ahead of your magic points, your trap fails.
• CHERRY BOMB – Set the person in first place two places behind. For every four magic points you have, each sequential car behind them will also fall two places behind. However if they have four power points ahead of your magic points, your trap fails.
• CANDY CANED -- nullify one of your enemies boosts next turn. For every four magic points you have, choose an extra team. However if they have four power points ahead of your magic points, your trap fails.
• PEANUT BRITTLE – Choose a team and pop their tires! For every four points you have, choose an extra team and pop their tires as well. However if they have four power points ahead of your magic points, your trap fails.

We're going with the peppermint and ice cream wheels to start with, and one thing of pixy stix, a jaw breaker, and jelly beans.

Choose which Boost or Trap you'll use here!

It's pixy stix time. Let's see if we can get that number-one slot.

Choose which Boost or Trap you'll use here!

And now for the jelly beans.

Choose which Boost or Trap you'll use here!

Well, all we've got's the jaw breaker now. So that's what we're going with.

And then the front door of the cottage opens…
