The shadowy figure leaned against the handlebars some as he gave her a seductive look but it was pretty obvious that he wasn't anything serious, more so as a way to make a certain announcer jealous. He glanced up at the radio tower that was in the middle of the track- the AI up in the tower may not be fully visible to anyone else but the dark character could see further than the human players so he could easily notice how the commentator was glaring down at him. The ghostly motorcyclist snickered to himself at the look, enjoying the resentful leer as he straightened himself.

"What happened to being only attracted to me~" The jester racer teased a bit as she noticed how he was narrowing his eyes at the announcer tower.

That made his vehicle swerve a little out of control as he got caught off guard at her statement, "NOPE! NOT GOING THERE!" He sent her a look as he got steadied, "Why'd your mind even go there?" He questioned with a groan and sped to be up next to her.

She laughed in amusement at his reaction to what she said, "You just looked like you staring so passionately at the tower." She smirked at him, more than happy to annoy him like her annoys her all the time.

At least until he went in front of and began to drive backwards as if not worried about where he was heading. His eyes floated out from in between his teeth and began to move around her, successfully creeping her out but also causing her to blush a bit at how it felt like they were checking her out, "Oh, no, my little feisty jester~ You're all I want to stare intently at~" He growled playfully as his eyes returned to their original positions as he narrowed his eyes a bit as his teeth turned up to a smirk.

The kart racer felt her cheeks burn a bit at the suggestive comment, "I- ugh- you-"

"Asshole? Fucker? Bastard?" Seth offered coolly with a hum. He had to quickly swerve out of the way with a loud laugh as she suddenly pressed the brake to stop her kart.

Pomni stared at him with wide, astonished eyes, "YOU CAN [%^^%**%^] CURSE?!?" She screeched out as she slammed her hands on her vehicle.

"Ah, I think you meant 'fucking curse'."

She stomped her way up to the snickering shadow, grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard, "WHY DO YOU NOT GET CENSORED????" She almost yelled at him in envy.

Seth grinned widely before leaning on his own vehicle as he placed a finger under her chin and moved his face closer to hers, "Maybe if you let me have a bit of fun with you tonight, I can teach you~" He growled lowly. He stared at her for a moment before his eyes subtly moved upwards and he moved back.

The was a snap above the two of them before Pomni was suddenly teleported up in the arms of the announcer of the races, being held tight and protectively as he glared down at the Echo, "She is MINE!" He growled possessively to his shadowy doppelganger. The jester in his arms could merely stay silent and blush as she listened to her boyfriend become overprotective over her.

"Aw, come now. We can share, can't-"

Before the Echo had a chance to finish his sentence, Pomni let out a loud, pained gasp as Caine bit down onto her shoulder, hard enough to leave a scar. Claiming her as his. He just glared down at the shadow as he let her go- daring him to finish his sentence.

Seth frowned and huffed as he rode off on the motorcycle to finish the race. Although, once he got far enough away he couldn't help but laugh to himself, "He grew a goddamn spine for a chick like her, eh." He smirked, "I'll have to continue messing with them~" He slipped back into the out of bounds area.

Caine watched him go before cuddling with Pomni in midair, "Mine..." He murmured in her ear quietly, protectively.

His hold was soft and warm for the jester. She easily forgot the pain in her shoulder as she let him nuzzle her as she kissed his top jaw with a warm smile, "Yours..." She mumbled back.

BONUS: Model turnaround and expression test:

Aaaaaand here it is! This took a lot longer to make than I would like to admit, but I think I'm at a point where I can consider this finished.

A massive shout out goes to Scarlet, the creator of this character and AU! Consider this a gift, for being such an awesome writer and person!

…Okay, I'm gonna go on a ramble now. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. I just have a few things I'd like to say:

-

So, I'm not a professional artist by any means, but you probably noticed that already. Actually, this is my first time making any kind of art in a very long time, but after getting into the TADC fandom and discovering such an amazing array of artists and writers, I felt compelled to give a little something back. Prove that I could create, not only consume, I guess.

There's a part of me that's pretty scared to post this. This fandom is full of creators with incredible, well-developed artistic skill… and then there's me, stumbling in with this polygonal mess. It's intimidating, y'know? I feel like a kid showing off his crayon drawings to his parents. I know it's ultimately pointless to compare myself to people with actual years of experience under their belts, but my brain still goes there regardless.

Well, it's not like too many people are gonna see this anyway, right? I'm just glad I was even able to finish this. That's not something I get to say very often. There were so many times where my brain was telling me that this was too hard, and that I should just give up. For once, I decided to say "No", and pushed on through anyway, despite my limited artistic abilities.

Oh, and Scarlet, if you're reading this… thank you so very much. Seriously, your work has given me so much joy and inspiration, and you're a really cool person to boot. I couldn't have done this if it wasn't for you!

Sorry if I'm being overly sappy, I just wanted to express my gratitude to you, and this whole community. I'm happy that I chose to be a part of it, even if it's just in a small way.
