Hitting the ground running was a lot harder than most people gave it credit for. Especially when you hit the ground running only about three paces before barging through a shimmering wall of portal that left you feeling like the world went topsy-turvy for just a little bit more than 'too long'. It was enough to send Graowr sprawling and reeling, leading to a comical faceplant and ungainly flip back forward onto her feet. She shook her head to clear the momentary teleportation wooziness and was off running again.
A quick stop in at the check-in station to register her arrival, and she was off for her destination. Luckily she'd been given directions to follow, so it wasn't just a blind search. All the same, it took far too long for her to actually find her destination. It was a little confusing to figure out how it all worked, but with a little instruction and checking the email that had sent her here, she got it all figured out. And soon enough, she was in possession of...wow, that was kind of a lot of omnilium.
Not only a lot of omnilium, but her other prizes. There was a kind of...gaudy looking belt (which a helpful note identified as the grand champion's belt, for winning the event), and another item. Some sort of...mask, or visor. It had an unsettling look to it, but the note said it was an artefact, and another prize to go along with winning the competition. There was a description of what it did, which she read over carefully, before looking the thing over more carefully. It sure had an odd look to it. It sent an unpleasant tingle through her hands when she picked it up, as if she'd been shocked. Unpleasant images crawled around the edges of her mind, making her narrow her eyes in concentration. There was something...something off about this thing. It was like... Like something she should've recognized from somewhere, or something, but...
Oh, well. No sense dwelling on it. All of her prizes were swiped and absorbed in one fell swoop, stored more or less safely away within the gooey confines of her body. And with that, her business here was done. She turned and left, quickly breaking into a jog. Spooky mask or no, it was bound to come in handy if she ever got in a tight spot somewhere down the line, and that was good enough for her!
