"HEL-LO FOLKS and welcome to the Krayt Circuit Race! We've got an interesting mix of fresh faces and seasoned racers in the line up for today!"
The announcer's voice soared over the roar of the crowd. Maura, upon hearing this, immediately pocketed her datapad and eagerly threw her attention to the podracers lining up below. She'd never been to a podrace before, so she was absolutely stoked. The ticket gripped in her right hand had been won in a Switter raffle, and it was also the only reason she was able to go in the first place since the tickets were normally pretty expensive.
"Starting in front, we've got newbies Iaxic Kene and Pana Zapal— "
Oh, right! "I've got to pick someone to cheer on!" Maura paid attention to skimboard tournaments and Huttball games, but podracing? She loved all things fast - the girl had a need for speed - but she actually knew nothing about the famous sport. "There's only six to choose from..." Did she pick based on who had the coolest name or the coolest ride? "I guess I could ask my seat neighbors..." That would probably be a better idea than arbitrarily choosing someone.
"Hey! Who are you cheering for?" she asked as she turned to the person on her left. Maybe they would know?
