Car Eating Contest! (GC's Homeroom)

Welcome to the first little fun contest/party/whatever you'd like to call it of GC's homeroom in The Dome! No one will be graded here, it is all in the intererest of practice and fun, but you want to keep in mind that we are all going to be working on writing skills along the way.

I'd like to think that everyone will write nice detailed posts, focusing mainly on their major issues such as quotations, paragraphs, and comma usage. Comma usage is a big one, because I see lots of sentences that have no comma where there should be one, and commas where they shouldn't be.

This is a free-for-all! Anyone posts whenever they want, no order is specified.

The details of this contest:

- You are to eat one (1) car. Eat it piece by piece, please no swallowing whole. I don't want to call in The Dome paramedics, kay?

- Specify brand of car, model number/name, color, AND shape/design for a bit of extra credit. Who knows? Doing well here might move your training along faster.

- Try to include other characters in your post as well. The tention of the competition doesn't exist unless your character is up against another.

- The competition will be played in Kyrias's chamber. His chamber looks like this:

His room contains around five bookshelves. One jets out into the room near the door that exits the room. The room is very tall, and it is very rare that someone who can't fly will ever be able to touch the ceiling, and windows near the ceiling are also tall and let light shine into the room. Walls are white, made of some type of stone. Written on the western wall above a bookshelf is "THE DOME" in worn out letters. It is an academic area, library-ish. The air is musty and things may smell a bit old. There is a red couch big enough to fit three people (or about one person lying down) in the southeastern area of the room, with a table next to it near the eastern wall. A purple, red, and gold carpet makes a pathway to each bookshelf. The pathway is around four to five feet thick in width, the rest of the floor that is not covered by the pathway carpet is the older wooden floor. The wood floor may or may not be stable. The door leading out of Kyrias's chamber could lead to any room he sees fit.


Alright... so with that all said, let the match begin!

Karaza stared at his car and then back at his mentor, "Umm, so, I have to eat the car?" his mentor tapped his foot and pointed to his watch. Karaza understood. Time was ticking. He looked over at his car. It was a 2004 silver honda convertible. It had a black top that would come on and off. It had a nice silver hood ornament of an angel and nicely painted black designs on each side of the car. Karaza smiled lightly. He knew that it would be rather easy to eat the roof with his strong teeth. But the rest of the car would pose a challenge. A tingle was sent down his spine as he imagined chewing through sharp metal. It truely would not be a picnic. He sighed and took a look around.

He walked over to Zelit, "So, how do you intend to eat it?"

Zelit frowned, "Beats me. How am I supposed to eat a car?" he said with a sigh. Karaza shrugged and walked back over to his own car. It was time to start eating. He put his claws to the roof and ripped off a big chunk of convertable roof material(?). It was harder than he had expected but he was able to tare though it with effort. Even though it was not as hard as metal, it was tough. And there were metal bars that would hold it up. And the metal would cut Karaza's gums.

He chuckled, "Heh, when I bleed, my gums will heal, but I haven't the slightest clue how the others will fare." he thought to himself as a smile silently creeped onto his face. He continued to chew through the thick black material. He still hadn't been able to swallow, but it was definately wearing down.

Karaza finally managed to down the convertable's roof. Or atleast he thought he had. He looked at the car and realised that he had only eaten a chunk of it. He sighed with very little emotion and grabbed another chunk. He repeated the same process. Again his gums would bleed and they would heal while his blood turned black and evapourated. Although it was a disgusting process, it would be worth it if he was able to finish the task.

Eventually he was able to finish the roof. But as it turned out, one problem would lead to another. For now, he would have to work out how he was going to chew through metal. He was almost sure his teeth were up to it, but was he? The pain of chewing through the roof was bad enough, how would he willingly eat the metal?

"Heh, enjoying yourself there Karaza?" "Not funny...ow my gums!" Karaza exclaimed. Zelit strolled over to Kyrias. "So, how much time does he have?" "Well, he started out with 3 hours and is down to 2:30. Oh, by the way it is your time to go now. Karaza will have his time left off wrote down and have a good rest. He will resume devouring the vehicle in 1 hour. I will have him start from the time remaining he left off at."

Karaza gleefully halted wolfing down the car, and strode over to Zelit for some payback. "Haha. I get a break while you devour the car. Trust me, it's not very fun." "Surely you're joking?!" Zelit said as he turned to Kyrias. "Two hours, 59 minutes and 58 seconds, 57 seconds..." Kyrias said trying to get his hopeless student to start. "Ah! I'm running out of time! Well, my teeth may hate me for this but I'm not going to back down like a low-life, whimp would."

Zelit took a sigh, and glanced over at the car he chose to eat. A pearlescent, georgous, Honda S2000 stood before him. It shone with beauty as Zelit gaped at it's shadowy black paintjob. A wicked deep purple dragon vinyl spiraled down the sides of this awesome ride.

"What a shame to eat such a work of art.." Zelit took a sigh, and walked to his car. "Hmm I'll eat the tires first." He reluctantly teethed on one of the car's tires. "Hmm, this is simple enough. Just pop the rubber." After but a few moments the tire popped. All that was left was a flap of rubber, which he easily consumed.

He continued on until all the tires were popped. He devoured them and when finished, wore a squinted, sour face. Rubber certainly was not his first choice on the dinner table. He heard a bell chime in the musty air of the chamber. "Alright, time's up. Your break has arrived."Kyrias announced.

Zelit strode over to Karaza. "Well, that really wasn't enjoyable..But I was taking a different, less painful approach. Ugh. Just think how it'll be with the windows and body. My teeth ache just thinking about it." "Heh, we'll get there most likely. Through a hearty helping of trial and error."Karaza said reasurringly. And with that, Zelit proceeded to his break.

OoC: Haha... very nice, guys. I'm still standing on the sidelines for now, but I'd like to see more of my class get in this before I jump in! Perhaps when everyone has eaten a car you can shove a giant truck on me and make me eat that.

For now, this is calling other students over here >_>... get here and write!

Okay GC I'm annoyed of waiting...so can you send a PM to students who aren't joining?
