 ⏵ build-up to the race ⏴ Aurora has organized a competitive event, unlike missions past: an all-out build-and-race derby! This mission is all about working together (or against each other) to design, construct, and customize your ride! Show some creativity, and gain a few extra points maybe - or show some grit, and get bonus points that way! Don't worry, there's always an edge of rivalry: a few twists and tricks await to keep everyone on their toes! As of November 8th, a temporary garage has been set up close to the hospital, with bays for each team. The team assignments are: TEAM ONE Dazai, Hernan Guerra, Chrollo, Vincent TEAM TWO Katsuki Bakugo, Damian Wayne (Robin), Vash the Stampede, Barnabas Tharmr TEAM THREE John Reese, Harold Finch, Chrissy Cunningham, Sam Carpenter TEAM FOUR Castiel, Dean Winchester, Junior, Kyra Vashenko-Chao TEAM FIVE Manny, Shanks, Monkey D. Luffy, Loki TEAM SIX Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Yuri Leclerc, 6, 37 TEAM SEVEN Cloud Strife, Rufus Shinra, Sleeper, Asano Rin TEAM EIGHT Deku Midoriya, Cid Telamon, Jason Todd, Gorgug Thistlespring TEAM NINE Accelerator, Timothy Drake, Trafalgar Law, Vax'ildan TEAM TEN Octavia Blake, Mal Durrish, Wanda Maximoff, Rosie Each bay is labeled with the names of those in each team, but the plaque where the team's name would be remains blank. Instead, a marker resides beside the placard: teams must choose their name, and add it themselves. Within each bay are all the parts needed to put together a vehicle on one's own. Parts and tools are clearly labeled, and a few instruction manuals for numerous different kinds of vehicles are lying about. Each team is welcome to dive right in, but there's also a twist: special parts are available - but you have to earn them! Several Companion Bots have set up shop just outside the garage, ready to hand out everything from turbo boosters to reinforced tires. However, every special part can't be bought but has to be earned. Want a top-notch engine? Maybe a late-night group watch for any shooting stars will earn you one. Want some wicked cool brakes that make handling those curves in the road significantly easier? Maybe you and a teammate will get sent on a fun scavenger hunt for special stones scattered throughout Etraya - or maybe they'll have to commit a prank on another team to get it. Sign-ups for special parts can be found HERE - let us know what your team is looking for (shielding, brakes, tires, etc) and we'll give you a task for their team to complete to earn it! Need some direction? The Companion Bots are happy to lend a hand, even if they aren't able to directly interfere! Decorate not just your vehicles, but also the bay assigned to your team. There's plenty of paint, spare parts, and props! While Aurora and the Companion Bots provide the essential parts, it's up to the teams themselves to put together their vehicles - so have fun building! Complete mini-missions for additional, special parts, which may also assist your team in winning the race itself. Or one can always sabotage other teams in order to raise their chances of winning. The world is your oyster - have fun with it!  ⏵ you bet! ⏴ Not everyone is up for hands-on work; those that either choose to put their focus elsewhere, or maybe in addition to participating in the race, can also choose to participate in betting rounds. Set up in Harry's Hideaway Pub, a couple of the Companion Bots have set up a mini-casino, equipped with screens keeping an eye on the outside of the bays and facing the tracks that have yet to be completed. Here, you can place your bets on which team will finish their build first, who will get the best parts, and which car will have the most flair - or perhaps which will fall apart first once they're out on the track. The currency used here? The points one earns for participating in the world of Etraya and previous missions. Put down five, and earn back ten for being correct - or lose out on what you've given, if it goes that way. This is part one of our race mission! Please note the below mod-comments: Name your Team Parts Request Betting These all need to be filled out by November 14th at 4PM PST in order to be taken into consideration for the race log! If it seems as if players need a little more time, we will delay the race log out to November 20th to give more time to engage with the beginning part of this mission. Please direct all questions to our plotting post! |
▶ BUILD UP TO THE RACE
she never learned to drive even though others like her brother picked it up for ease of travel because she felt more at home riding on horseback than she did behind the wheel of any machine but now it looks like she has to learn about it so she can at least be of some help to her teammates in winning this. she heads over to the car bay where her name is listed while idly eyeing the scattered parts and tools laid out as if it is some sort of puzzle until she notices she has company ] Hey. So how familiar are you with any of this? I think we should figure that out first.
no subject
she arrives as instructed to where her name is listed, peering around the bay curiously. for a time, she's alone, with a number of different parts that she can't name scattered on the floor around her; idly, at one point, she twists her wrist, and one part lifts from the floor in a glow of red, floating closer to allow her to examine.
the sound of a voice from nearby, though, startles her for a moment, and in the process, the magic falters, with a clatter of metal. she takes in a steadying breath, turns toward the sound, and,]
I've driven a car, [she says.] But I can't say I've ever built one.
[at least not like this.]
no subject
[she pauses briefly before gesturing towards the car part that had been dropped unexpectedly ] Sorry about making you drop that, I didn't mean to startle you. You did that with magic, right? [ there is no judgement in her tone, mostly just curiosity of someone who has never witnessed something like that before]
no subject
I've ridden in lots of different cars, but uh- Not sure the interiors are really what we'd be looking to focus on. [ A drop of her head to one side and a sigh. ] But I'm a quick study, at least! So hopefully we can figure out what we need to quickly.
no subject
I've seen some cars back home but I've never really bothered to ride in one.
no subject
No? I don't get the appeal like some guys did, but they can be fun! Usually when they go fast, which seems to be the goal so- Probably a good place to start!
That'd be the, uh. The engine, I'm pretty sure.
no subject
[ octavia gives a slight shrug because while she does understand the appeal in some ways, it was never really her thing ] It was more like I preferred other methods of transportation but yeah it does sound like the engine might be a good place to start if we want it to go fast.
no subject
stare, for a moment. Uhm. Hm. That sure is a lot of machinery that she isn't sure how to make heads or tails of, oops. ]
Okay, well. It can't be that hard to figure out what goes where, right? [ Most cars also have a manual, she's pretty sure, so she will look for that too. ] What other kinds of transportation did you have though where you're from if not cars?
no subject
no subject
I could never get over my nerves enough to try...
no subject
no subject
A-anyway! Yeah, if you're around them a lot- That makes sense. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, it was just so many cars. And bikes.
no subject
Besides maybe you just haven't met the right horse yet— [she is joking but her expression shifts into a slight smile] If mine ever shows up here, I can introduce you.
no subject
But I've been wondering if that's selfish, actually, since like- I could be gone tomorrow for all I know apparently.
no subject
I don't think it's selfish. I mean the same said for any of us suddenly disappearing but hey if you want to get a dog, you should go for it.
no subject
-Okay. Yeah, I mean. Why not, right? You only live once and all that. Might as well go for it while I'm able to!
[ She will worry, of course, about her dog and what her leaving might mean but... Maybe this will be a lesson in still doing something for herself, even if she doesn't know the outcome is guaranteed? Hm. ]
