Alexandria sat upon a stool at the lobby's bar, sipping slowly on a cuba libre. A pre-race drink had always been a part of her routine and now was no time to change that. A loud slurping came from the bottom of the glass as the liquid struggled to enter the straw, and Alexandria pushed the drink aside. Slapping enough neo-credits on the counter to cover her drinks and a generous tip, she looked to the barkeep. [Color=9932cc]"Keep the change, chum,"[/color] Alexandria spoke, the words with a smoky tone to them. [Color=9932cc]"I'll have much more where that came from after I win these races. Do cheer for me."[/color] she gave the man a wink as she stood and walked away from the bar.

Alexandria made her way to the restroom, in need of a mirror in order to ensure she looked good for the cameras. The door swung open near silently, and she soon faced herself in a wall of glass and reflective metal. Starting from the top, Alexandria adjusted the red band which held her hair up, making sure every strand lay where it should. She moved down to her cropped blue and white plaid button-down,fastened only with the second and third button, straightening it so as to not leave any creases. She brushed her denim skirt to do the same. Alexandria opened the tin which hung from her belt, checking that it was full of smokes for her race.

[Color=9932cc]"Alright now, nothing to worry about,"[/color] She stared at her face in the reflection in front of her as she talked aloud. [Color=9932cc]"You've seen tons of races here, hell, you've even won a few. This is going to be a cakewalk. Now get out there and show them what that bird can do!"[/color] Alexandria smirked, turning and walking out of the restroom. 

As she reentered the lobby, a voice came over the intercom calling the racers to the transport train which would take them to the track. [Color=9932cc]"How fitting that they'd call me first. I'm honored, intercom,"[/color] she laughed, making her way to the train. Her quick strides took her past another of the racers heading toward the transport, whom she looked back and blew a mocking kiss to. Not much further and she had reached the entrance, doors opening and allowing her to take a seat. She picked one not far from the door, slouching back and kicking her feet up across the aisle to the seats opposite her.
