NSSCRA 14- Everything Thread

[Garden at 6th Mile Road]

The Gardeners – Race 25 – Multiversal: PTCCU Auto Loans 300, Oxyrhynchus-Ring, Oxyrhynchus, Fhulghamous Peninsula Colony, Abanhfleft (Short Track- DIRT TRACK); Everlong: Visit the Fhulghamous! 200 Presented by the Fhulghamous Peninsula Tourism Council, Oxyrhynchus-Ring, Oxyrhynchus, Fhulghamous Peninsula Colony, Abanhfleft (Short Track- DIRT TRACK)

Anna “De Eeuwige Vreugde” Caitlin Madeline Brigitte Priscilla Teresa Mavis Thanda Pwint Thinzar Nwe, Tweede Verpersoonlijking van De Sierlijke und Verwonderlijk Feline Utopia ov Valentine Z have always been proud to present herself as one of the three personifications of Valentine Z, so to speak. There is one for Nature, one for the cats, and of course, Anna being the Joy of Valentine Z. "That is, of course, not to say that without me, the Valentians can't be happy anymore. Oh no, it does not work like that! Instead, it's more of the fact that I represent the collective happiness, niceness, compassion, and cheerfulness of the people, what makes me stronger and being able to reflect them as a whole," Anna said during her session, a few people taking more photos of her, while there were also a few questions about how she felt today for her race. "Well, there is always the next race, and of course, next season! Haha, I'm sorry if this came across as a little too creepily optimistic! Please don't get me wrong, sometimes I do get a little annoyed by how little progress was made. But, you know, often times, you look back at this, and realise that there is always a next chance. Of course, we are very aware of the fact that there may not be such chances for a lot of the people out there. For us, work hard, do our best, and at the end of the day, there's always next time!"

There were a few more questions for her, most of it personal and what she does often times. "Oooh, of course! I too can feel anger, irritation, and even sadness, just like with the other Valentians! We are not, like, happy all the time. It's just that happiness is most of our emotion time- haha, that is a bit of a weird term, sorry! Yeah, we are happy almost all the time, but there are also times when we really do feel it, you know? Just that anger after maybe getting the 5th DNF of a season, and many more along the way. Or when your computer came across some cryptic problem that no one in Valentine Z can solve (not even Clarissa or Jenny, I'm afraid!), and the list goes on! We are often times also permeated by the smallest of problems that plagued you guys, and at the end of the day, I think it's important to keep a calm and collected head and try to see how you can solve those things, you know what I mean? So in the scene of racing, we are completely understanding that some people may not have such a chance after so many blunders and so for that, I can only wish and hope that we did our best, and get the results you guys want too!"

Holly Aceline “De Stralend en Wonderbaarlijk Licht Koningin Van Haar Mooie Universum” Aurora Symantha Vreugde Astrid Lavender Lexis Lilac Harmony Tsi. Marlie Nova Radiant Lapia Starlight, by some miracle, was also present at the Q&A session, sitting between Valkyrie Valentijn and Gwen. She was already out of her racecar attire, instead in her usual blue dress, complementing her skin color which is of a slightly bluer hue compared to that of Clarissa. On top of being present for the questioning session, Holly was more than happy and open to let herself known a little bit more, something that she has not done other than with the Valentians. The Valentians, in turn, gave her the full autonomy to answer whatever questions and answers that she was willing to provide, for it is her choice, and it is her home at the end of the day, with the Valentians simply protecting her. Their part is to protect her, as well as to be her friend, but at the end of the day, with Holly already having understanding of the potential dangers of other people, she could answer the questions freely. The first few questions were about the season and the races, but the next few were then about the nature of herself. "Holly, if you don't mind us asking: What are you exactly made out of?" Holly nodded her head, fiddling around with the microphone and getting herself comfortable to answer it.

"Hm, that is one of the very first questions that people often tend to ask about me! I am a sentient and sapient being simply made out of lights, which in turn, was told to be magical in nature. At least, from what the Valentians have told me. I know they have studied me and my home for quite some time – decades at this point – and they have still been stumped by what I am really supposed to be. After all, it is not all the time that you have seen a light taking a form, and then started talking to people, let alone racing a car, but here we are! On top of that, well, I am not very sure where I come from either. My friend, Gwen Tracer Allison Oxton right beside me, have also tried to look at it, but she also was stumped. My world, and myself in essence, seems to transcend time, and I did not mean in a rather boastful way. Well, that is perhaps another side fact about myself! I am immune to the effects of time itself. I cannot be slowed down, or stopped, or hastened in any way. Which, once again, Gwen has tried, of course. As for how it works, I am a little stumped as well, if I am very honest. I can flow freely through time, and that is it!"

Then there was another question that was directed to her, as to why she was a lot more open as of recently. "It all went back to you people, that is for certain! For the longest of times, I enjoyed- and still enjoy, the security of the Valentians keeping my safe and sound, and me being able to practice and do whatever I like and love in my own home dimension. I know motorsports seem to be the weirdest and most unexpected thing for me to do, especially since I am of a more… natural disposition. I am not the biggest tree hugger, but those who have seen my home dimension would definitely know that yes, I leaned towards the ecologically friendly stance. It is a little confusing for everyone, I get that. For a lady made out of lights, and loving about nature. Maybe that is a hobby, you know? Like gardening! Anyway, I'm sorry about the rather disjointed answer here, please do pardon me! To move on to actual question itself, I love and am happy about being here because everyone has been nice to me, and all of you have been very wonderful both towards the Valentians and myself, and I would like to thank you all so much for all this." She paused for a while, smiling to the adoring crowd around her, then she continued on, "All of this reminds me – I do miss those French guys from the, well, The French Army. I don't believe I have seen them around at all for this entire season, so I can only hope and wish that they are well! Anyway, to summarize – I will be more than happy to open up and interact a lot more around people, and you all have been amazing because this is something that is a lot more desirable than the Valentians fighting a defensive war, or getting involved with other wars; please don't try to give me a hug, ask me before touching me, that is for your own good rather than for mine, as you all know!"

Before she closed the microphone to give the other Valentians sitting around a turn, she suddenly remembered something, a surprise of sorts that she wanted to bring to these folks. "Oh yes, I know what you might be thinking. Yes, Holly's Light Show is going to be a thing right after the upcoming race. The Valentians and I will provide the clearer details once we have finalized everything, but yes, with permission, it is to be done at the venue after the Multiversal race is over, the prize presentations are done, and NSSCRA 14 has been ultimately concluded. I do really hope to see you all there, and I promise that there will be something new and more magical coming your way!"

[Valentine Z]

The Valentians – Race 26 – Multiversal: Proving Grounds 500, Tundra Falls Proving Grounds, Newmanistan (Superspeedway); Everlong: Proving Grounds 400, Tundra Falls Proving Grounds, Newmanistan (Superspeedway)

Valentijn “De Sierlijke en Vrij Valkyrie General ov Valentine Z” Samantha Maxwell Delta Weston Stijn Angelus Tracey Mitchell Tristian Marnix Basilisk Lewis Hyatt X. Constantine Sein Lin Zaw Naing slowly walked up to the podium, simply not being able to believe in her luck as she was able to take the victory in the form of a finisher in the last race of the season, as well as being crowed the champion for the Everlong Series. A few tears of joy shed, she held her trophy proud as she celebrates, having hugged her friend and teammate Marcus Alan Ariel Reynolds – who also scored a podium finish of 3rd – along the way. An ecstatic scene, Valkyrie Valentijn blew a gentle kiss onto the adoring audience, with the Valentians being able to be spotted by their stature alone, as well as them crazily waving the flags of Valentine Z, Alanis Star, and many more. "Thank you, thank you, everyone, you are all too kind!" she said proudly and shouted happily to the crowd, going for every single photo opportunity, and thrilled at the fact that she was going to be put into the Multiversal Series' race. "I will probably be going to get my butt handed back to me. I mean, please don't get me wrong, I am NOT saying that the drivers in Everlong are easier to race against. With all the stakes that are in right now, and with a lot more experience – we have to be honest here – those guys in Multiversal are going to be quite a force to be reckoned with, and with this being the final race, well, we are going to get quite a fierce and intense competition. I would just be there for the ride, I already got my moment today!"

On the day itself, there would be one driver that would be taking in the helm and basically dictating the race for that day. That was, of course, not to be taken literally, for she did not have any desires to use her powers to outright determine who was going to win the race, and who was going to be placed in other positions. With that said, she had quite a fair bit of reign on the course, using her placement in the qualifications in order to get something out of it, and perhaps even to get herself a nice podium spot. The drivers she had in mind were those who were still in the Chase, namely the two Hapilopperians, one from Saint Kanye, and another from TJUN-ia. "Well, I am not the one to say that they are not winning without my help, that is absolutely not it," she thought to herself, "They are more than capable of winning themselves. Still, you know, with me being 4th here, why not I give it a chance, eh? See if you can catch up with me, loves!" There she went, left and right, in and out, through the pits as the Valentian crew assigned to her have been working harder than usual. She was going to make it, she thought to herself. With a few laps left, and with such a big gap between her and the ones on 2nd and 3rd, she was certain about her victory. "Well, darn shame, really. If I kept this up a lot longer, I would have been champion. But, maybe next time for sure!"

Chief Aviator Gwen Tracer Hepburn “Fate of Existence and the Omniverse” Ellen Trixie Caitlin Foxworthy Avril Verlene Eveline Celinda Sammy Doris T-Rev Oxton Arielle Lindall Leslie Vitesse Allison would be the next person who would add into this history for the Valentians, having placed 1st and taking the victory for that race event alone. She did her usual pleasantries and celebrations around the course, followed by posing for the photos on the podium with Tsering Chu and Jeremiah Brooke, offering to shake their hands. "It is certainly quite a day, haha!" she couldn't help but cheer and laugh as the crowd went aesthetic. Of course, she was well-aware that her 15 minutes of fame would then be followed by the actual victor of the season – Drake Stevenson. With an impressive 5043 points, he became a NSSCRA 14 Champion, and the Hapilopperians were going to celebrate like there is no tomorrow, perhaps even going to drink their entire supply of beer and liquor if they are permitted to. She simply nodded in stride and approached him with a smile, offering to give Drake both a hug and a handshake, a gesture that both in and out of the race track, there is no animosity between her and Drake, and neither from any of the Valentians outside. "Congratulations, Drake! Here's to an amazing celebration for you, and all the best for the future season!"

In Valentine Z, specifically right in front of her grand and large home in Yangon, Valkyrie Valentijn stood proudly in her usual 117-meters tall stature, wearing her blue knightly armour that is glimmering and shining under the very bright sun and clear weather. Her green eyes darted around the people all gathered up around the place, welcoming her as well as the many other Valentians that came back from the finished NSSCRA season. It was similar to that of a heroes' welcome, though of course, the Valentians have always been respectful of the actual veterans of the wars – ones that they have been involved in, or from the Pre-Valentian Eras, and would treat the veterans with the utmost amount of respect and especially with large amounts of compensation for their well-being and for their future. Going back, Valentijn stood on the ground with Gwen facing and standing in front of her. With the growing air of quietness around them, Valentijn took out the sword slowly from the sheath, angling it sideways and to her right, followed by slowly bringing the hilt up to her eye-level, making a semicircle in the air. Gwen gave her a salute in turn, using her gun – Railgun of the Fate – raising it sharply and presenting it to Valentijn, who in turn nodded. With all the air traffic, satellites, and every single thing out of the way for the next 500 light years, Gwen then fired a shot from the railgun in one of its lower setting, sending a beam into the skies, to the heavens above, and then leaving the atmosphere, Earth, past the moon, past Mars, and then finally dissipating into the vacuum of space. With that, the people all around cheered, with Valentijn getting a hug from Clarissa, while Gwen also addressed and presented herself to many adoring fans and Valentians all around them. "Here’s to the best of luck, to us Valentians!"

This is a compilation of records and reports that have been extracted from a parallel world. The nature of the document indicates that they are classified above Top Secret, and that any way to distribute this to the public may yield undesirable results. We are very well-aware of who has caused such an action, and in our defense, she has been adamant that no harm would come to these worlds and in extreme cases, the timeline will be erased or altered.

October 20, 1987: The release of the new 8-bit video game console known as Famicon Entertainment System (FES) a year ago has most definitely swept USA by storm, with hundreds of thousands of systems being sold on a daily basis at their peak. This by itself is not something of concern, of course – it is simply a release of a game console released especially for children, and the government agencies and countries around the world seem to have little to no extraordinary concerns when it came out. What WAS concerning, however, was a copy of the Famicon Power magazine – which by itself is once again a harmless a video game news and strategy magazine from the makers of the console itself. Any other day, that would have been a good and casual read even for the folks here in [DATA REDACTED]. The release date of the magazine was printed as June 1995, around 8 years ahead as of the time of this writing. The fuss could have been dissipated quickly had we quickly clarified with the PR department of Famicon and asked them if that was simply a typo. To our astonishment, they have stated that they have never approved of such an edition going out, and that while it could have been a prank by someone with really good printing and idea of the nature of the magazine, the things listed inside was not out of the ordinary. Shelve this report for future.

June 18, 1995: It has come to our attention that once again, we will have to get back to that edition of the Famicon Power magazine, one that was detailed in the [DATE REDACTED] report. There is no other way to go around this, than straight to the point itself: The "June 1995" copy that we have obtained nearly a decade ago is a 1:1 of the actual edition that came out this month. We are stumped as to why – it could simply have been a prank, was the guess. Any other day, the higher-ups would have been [REDACTED] that we were wasting our salaries and precious man-hours on analyzing a gaming magazine. However, there are several concerns that we would like to raise. Upon further questioning Famicon, they have confirmed that they have no hand in printing this out years ago, and that there were no reports and logs of them printing this and distributing to the various shops and homes around the country. We would press them further on whether or not this is a prank, but the reasoning on why a successful major company would do such a thing is… unsure. We think it's time travel, but no known laws of physics to us would allow such a thing. Every inquiry would lead to a brick wall, and that seemed to be the only copy that simply materialized out of somewhere, and not some mass-level form of mischief. Unsure as to what was happening.

March 1, 2003: What was meant to be a routine check in the National Archives, turned sour it would seem. The signed and most well-known copy of the United States Declaration of Independence was reported missing at the time of 5:18 AM. As clichéd as this sounded, the security video feed that is involved with the Declaration, was also missing for a good 5 minutes, and then there was no more copy, simple as. Other security cameras have had no such failure, and there were no reports of unauthorized personnel, intruders, burglars, or any suspicious persons in the building. That in itself is already catastrophic, the fact that someone was able to get away with it, with none the wiser, and none of the staff at that moment also seemed to have any intent let alone to take action, on whatever has simply happened. Only a few hours later, internal search groups have pinpointed the location of the Declaration. It somehow ended up in Los Angeles Central Library. With more back-and-forth, it was confirmed that the Declaration is the legitimate copy. How it traveled 2500 miles in a matter of a few hours is beyond our understanding.

April 3, 2006: A Wonderland in [DATA REDACTED] was shut down and its people evacuated. No surprises there so far, perhaps one might be reasonable to assume a potential bomb threat, a terrorist attack, a shooting, or anything of that sort. However, once again, the truth is stranger than these assumptions. At 2:15 PM, the park gathered around two people – designated Jane and Mary – were seen walking around the park. They were described as wearing formal clothing – which, while not illegal and not inappropriate, were not the outfits that were often times seen when they were going to an amusement park. The unusual dress-code aside, there were also reports that the two were measured to be around 10 feet tall, and were simply standing around and talking to people in a rather gentle manner. The huge concern, however, was the fact that they did not seem to be wearing stilts or anything of that sort that would be more in-line with the performers at the park. With numerous eye-witnesses, it was soon realized that Jane and Mary are living, breathing people. The world record for the tallest person measured at 9 feet, and yet, in front of the eyes of hundreds and even thousands of people, were two folks that are too tall to exist. With a bow, they very quickly then retreated into a staff-only room, which is when the manhunt has instigated. No signs of them can be found, and it was clear that this would be making headlines not just in the country, but all over the world. People are going to know, and of course, this will be a conspiracy theory for those numerous websites all over.

[Requesting permission to delete the entry typed in April 3, 2006. Reason: The event did not happen, and [DATA REDACTED] has no memory of writing the report. Whatever the case, it did not happen, and it all seemed fictional.]

October 11, 2008: A terrorist with strong connections to [DATA REDACTED] has been found dead in his apartment in Connecticut. Locals first hear of a man gasping loudly and banging on the walls of the neighboring apartment room. After a call to 911, the man was found dead lying on the floor, along with several IEDs around his home. Autopsy initially revealed that he had a heart attack. Further examinations, however, revealed a rather strange death, in the form of the man's heart having all of its major blood vessels all severed. In other words, the heart itself was fine, and rather, something cut all of the heart's major blood vessels with a tool. There are several questions that could have been asked of this, but all of it could be very-well narrowed down to one simple question: How? Any cut to the heart would have broken skin and muscle along the way, and yet, we have this mystery of a man who got his heart cut from the inside. This report is not to be misunderstood for sympathy; it was, after all, a terrorist. Rather, we were simply perplexed as to how it could have happened. Public report has been written as "Heart attack".

February 16, 2013: An analogue signal has been identified and intercepted in [DATA REDACTED], New Zealand. The transmission itself, lasting 30 minutes, looked normal enough with no subliminal messages or anything of that sort. However, to the fans of the motorsports itself, several things suddenly became out of ordinary. For one, the transmission was about a race known as NSSCRA, which was currently on its 14th season if the headers and titles were anything to go by. Secondly, the race took place in Tundra Falls Proving Grounds, Newmanistan, which has not been seen in any capacity of usage on the internet and in human history. And yet, there it was. The drivers were out of ordinary, with names that we have never came across before. The transmission ends with a driver on the podium – wearing a bright blue and green #31 firesuit – taking off her helmet, and with the celebration over, jumping off from the podium to give another driver in a white and purple #76 firesuit a hug. There were also other several anomalies beyond comprehension, such as what appeared to be a person painted in blue, and a large ostrich bird.

[RE: Requesting permission to delete the entry typed in April 3, 2006. Declined! Those two drivers' faces matched the appearance description that of Jane and Mary! Still does not explain the lack of event. Was it a hoax? TBC.]

December 31, 2020: Let's make this very clear. There is something of otherworldly proportions that are playing with us, and we should have been a lot wiser to this fact. Since 1987, several of these events were impossible for anyone in our world to think, let alone to execute and do. Of course, the one from 2013, I believe that may simply be a high-production video, and I am not going to deny that. However, why are "Jane and Mary" in Wonderland, which now seemed to be wiped off of people's minds like some Nelson Effect? Are they really the same persons from that tape? That report from 2006, coupled with the video evidence, should have pointed… [REDACTED]. They seemed to be observing us, but also did not seem to be actively wiping off our minds. Maybe there's a reason they didn't cover their tracks properly. We are keen to conclude [REDACTED]. While we could tell the people that it is either all just hoaxes or cover it up with a backstory, but sooner or later, something WILL happen and when it does, our world will not be prepared for such a knowledge. Something is watching us, and it is not from this very world.
