The Mother of All Escapes

James slowed to a walk as he approached the overpass. He closed his eyes as he walked around the corner afraid of what he might find. When his knees bumped into the car's front bumper he slowly opened his eyes to find his car to be perfectly fine, a little dusty, but unharmed. "WOOOOOOOOOOOO, the Jav, she's okay HAHA" James yelled doing a quick victory dance. "alrighty....everybody in" James said running around to the driver side door and hopping in. He removed his key from under his seat, inserted it, and pressed the ignition start button and the Javelin responded with a mighty jet-like whirrr as it's rotors spooled up to speed.

Nail and Ayecaye didn't waste time...but they were momentarily surprised by the loud noise of the car's engine. What did he have under there? Whatever it was, that noise certainly promised great things. Nail sprinted over to the passenger side...moved back the passenger seat...and let Ayecaye slide into the back seat, before he too leaped back there. He wanted to make it easy for whoever came last to get in front, to better speed their escape.

"Shotgun!"

Jodie couldn't help calling it in jest, even though gut feeling told her they had best to get out of there as soon as fraggin' possible. As admirable as Jav's ride was, she only gave it a brief glance before hopping in back with Nail and Ayecaye. She kept to herself for the moment, but that was only until Laurelle showed up. Although Dan probably wouldn't fit in the back with them, the bushbaby herself would probably just manage the crunch.

Dan stares in awe at the car for a brief moment; he's impressed, to say the least. And as Jodie climbs into the back of the car, he comes to the same conclusion she just had - he's probably not going to fit back there. That said, he waits hesitantly for Laurelle to climb in back, then moves the seat back just enough to be able to actually get in before doing so, trying to leave as much leg room behind it as possible. He seems a little uncomfortable being in the seat, though, or guilty, perhaps, since everyone else is crammed in the back... another glance at the sky, though, and he's reminded they have more important things to worry about for the moment. Like trying not to get caught in a giant explosion. SO. The fox buckles his seat belt, and looks over to Jav in anticipation, ready to go.

[Has anyone heard anything from Laurelle? She has yet to register here~]

[Nail Strafer]

[No...does she have an MSN or AIM name or something?]

[Jav]

[I'm going to go ahead and move this along, three day rule n all that. We can just assume that Laurelle is in the car with us for the sake of preventing this thread from stalling out.]

The car continued to spool up for a couple seconds until it reached it's idle state and calmly waited instructions from it's driver. James pulled the shifter into 'R' and the car seemed to tighten itself as if preparing to bolt. "get ready for this guys this is a bit of a shock if you're not ready for it....make sure your seat belts are properly fastened and you keep your heads against the backs of your seats. Tighten those musles it'll help to counter the G-forces. If you don't you could get a wicked whiplash. I've given myself a major headache and a sore neck or two in my day because I forgot to do that"

He finished strapping himself FIRMLY into his seat with his five point seat belt and placed his head firmly against his head rest. "ready lil dudes?" he gave everyone a quick once over "HERE WE GO!" He exclaimed stomping on the gas the car responding with monstrous torque sending him flying forwards from his seat, his seat belt catching him, as the car shot backwards. As the car passed 50 mph he jerked the wheel hard to the left and slamming on his brakes sending the car into a slide. James quickly shifted from R to D2 as the nose of the car came around, let off the break, and applied gas heavily as the nose reached it's destination bringing the car out of the slide but now heading in the opposite direction. The Jav had just performed a reverse 180.

"WOO, MAN THAT WAS FUN HAHA but dont worry....the show aint over yet we have only just begun to party! Everybody make it whip lash free? Dont be shy if you didnt we all get whip lashed every now and then hehe" James laughed as he brought the car up to 65mph. "We're gonna hit the highway and mozzy on over to station square to see if my folks are doin alright, knowin pops he didnt listen to what I said about leavin for the Jungle in case those space freaks decided to dance on in there and have a disco party. That old man and those kids better be alright or Ill kill em! Hehe Anyways, as it was so famously put on BTTF: lets make like a tree and get outta here hahaha" James laughed again.

[Nail Strafer]

Even with the warning the engine gave, Nail wasn't ready when the Jav started going in reverse...instead of straight forward like he thought they'd be doing. His head actually bounced off the back of Jav's headrest.

"Agh! Goddamn it!"

Then before he could recover, the Jav was swinging around wildly...Nail's arms flying through the air momentarily before he could grab Jav's headrest to steady himself.

Ayecaye didn't fare much better, but because Nail had her pressed in to the side of the car she stayed in place a little more securely. Anyway, the two of them just meekly held on for dear life as the car started racing away, not really paying attention to what was flashing past the windows.

"Freakin'-"

Slam.

Bash.

Crush.

"A!"

Although Jodie had been strapped in with Laurelle quite successfully, the speed of the vehicle had sent her forward, backwards, and sideways all in one ago. She managed to wail against Nail before squishing poor Laurie. While it cushioned her from getting as much whiplash as what could have happened without them sitting tight on either side of her, Jodie wasn't on the level of touchy feely with either of them. Especially not Nail.

She grunted something incoherrent before Jav really hit the gas, The Jav stopped sliding, and the car lurched forward at an extreme speed. It didn't faze Jodie for long though and before she knew it, she was enjoying the ride.

"This is so friggin' amazin'! Dude, pump up the volume!"

[Dan Dark]

The blue fox lets out a small startled yelp as the car rockets off in reverse. He'd gotten a bit of fore-warning about it; Jav had made it clear that they should be buckled up, after all, and from his vantage point in the front passenger seat, it wasn't hard watch the shifter as it was put into reverse. But, knowing what gear the car was in, and knowing what to expect as a result, clearly, don't entirely go together in this case. The seat belt does it's job pretty well, but, even so, Dan can't help but clutch wildly at the door handle, especially as they suddenly pull a reverse 180 - he knew what the manuver was, from seeing it in so many movies, using it in so many video games, but none of that had really prepared him for the real thing.

After they're finally going forwards properly, the fox slumps in his seat slightly, and just lays there for a couple long moments, trying to recover. He does, soon enough, and shortly after Jodie's shout, he turns to Jav and adds in, "Yeah.. Dude.. you are.. insane." He grins as he says this, though, and continues. "I gotta admit, though.. that.. was pretty awesome." The grin widens, and the fox laughs slightly as finishes.

[Laurelle]

Laurelle smiles weakly, shuts her eyes and tries to go as limp as she dares. Covering her body with her long soft tail, she tries to think calm, happy thoughts.

*I'm really sorry, I majorly suck. And once I got on here I failed some more. Thanks for moving on without me, I'd've hated to make you all wait cos I was silly. I'm here now at least, so let's mess with my character's head!*
