They keep us grounded to the rail well enough with a strong magnetic force. Not only can we slide on the rail with ease. But on pretty much any flat surface made of metal! But it’s best to try and not rely on it TOO heavily if you want to stay on your feet and not end up skating with your nose.
And remember! Not all Rail Rings are the same shape!
Question #12
Okay. Here’s the rules of Grind Railing. In this game, each team consist of three players, each filling out certain key roles special to their unique talents.

The object of the game is to grind around the Railing Ring as many times as you can in the allotted time, and gain your team the largest number of points before the game ends.

For each team member that makes a complete lap around the ring, your team gets one point. 4 points if 2 team members complete a lap at the same time, and 6 if all three cross together. Now, this alone may see boring. And for a while, when it was introduced, it was. The novelty of seeing people fall off the railing by themselves wore off when players actually started to get good at it. So people decided to make things a tad more… interesting. See, while weapons and certain objects that are considered as such are off-limits, like knives, swords, and baseball bats, we’re still encouraged by just about everybody to use blunt instruments to knock each other off the rails. I use a pipe, which you’ve seen me with already. I like it because the little screw thingy on the tip that can be used to latch onto the rail and save me if I fall. It’s also pretty light. But there are loads of “technically not prohibited in the rule book” objects that can be used that are fancied by other players.

This, of course, makes the game a lot more exciting and forces you to play strategically at times. Knocking off another player usually makes you a target so do you risk that, or try and keep your nose clean? Do you sprint to make as many points as you can or keep with your team to help wrack up bonus points despite the fact that some might be slower than others? Do you focus on knocking off other players in the beginning so the rest of the game is easy, or try and keep your distance for most of the game? Of course strategies are likely to change as the clock ticks down and your team members start dropping like flies or begin to outnumber the other team. Then there’s different shaped Railing Rings, different hazards to look out for, different things to fall into; rings are usually built over a giant pool called the penalty pool. Normally it’s filled with water but there’s the special cases when it’s mud, or some idiot decides to fill the pool with instant chocolate pudding mix or jello. It’s tasty, but still.
Either way Grind Railing is probably the greatest sport ever conceived albeit a tad violent at times, all of the time. It’s probably why my mom doesn’t approve of it but I stopped caring what her opinions about things were a while ago.
Who was the first character you first drawn?
((Like, fictional or original? Cause when I was super young I used to draw these shape people. Or… one shape person. He had a triangle for a head, square for a body, rectangles for legs, and just these huge muscles made up of interlocking eyelash shapes. I drew him three times in tree different sizes flying through the clouds and pretended they were some type of super team. Never even gave them a story or a name. I’ve been thinking about making a cartoon series based on them. Who knows?))
As for fictional, I dunno. Mario I think? The first character I ever tried freehanding without an outside reference was Fiona Fox.

I honestly don’t know why you feel the need to act in such a foolish and dangerous and disrespectful way, Nilla. A woman shouldn’t be getting into as much trouble as you insist on getting into at all hours of the day and I really don’t appreciate it. Do you have any idea what type of mother that makes me look like? A bad one. One that doesn’t know how to control her child and I don’t want to present such an image to our neighbors, do you, dear?
Oh no, I wouldn’t want anyone thinking you’re a bad mother.
What was that?
Nothing, Ginger.
And that’s another thing. I am your mother. Not your friend. You should refer to me as “mother” or “mom” or I’d even take “ma” or “mommy” over you referring to me by my first name. You’re not grown, you’re a child. And you should be showing me and other adults some respect. Something you clearly seem to be lacking. And another thing-
Me and my mother had, and continue to have a… um, how do I put this? Strained relationship with one another.

Can anybody say PARKOUR!?
I sure do get around, don’t I?
