MISSION 006 PT 1

WHO: Everyone!
WHEN: November 8th-5th
WHERE: Etraya
WHAT: It's time to build!
NOTES\WARNINGS: Gambling themes, mild violence and injury potential


⏵ 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.


⏵ NOTES ⏴

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!

Par for the course here, I'd say. [ Etraya in general seems to be one big learning experience so far. Not that Rosie minds, really, but... It's a big exhausting after a bit to feel like you're constantly at that disadvantage. Not that it's stopped her before and it definitely isn't now. ]

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.
plangona: (Default)

[personal profile] plangona 2024-12-15 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah seems like it.

[ 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.
hasitsthorns: You know it, baby (CHICKEN FINGIES!)

[personal profile] hasitsthorns 2024-12-23 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, [ she agrees, then pops open the hood to

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?

[personal profile] plangona 2025-01-08 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[octavia just stands back and observes as rosie looks under the hood of the car not that looking at it helped much either but hearing the question, she does smile slightly ] I travelled more on horseback.
hasitsthorns: are rhymes and nuts (The only thing I bust)

[personal profile] hasitsthorns 2025-01-15 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't scare you? [ Rosie asks, like that's... a common thing versus her own personal hang-up. But can Octavia blame her? Horses are huge! Horrifying! They can kick so hard with hooves. ]

I could never get over my nerves enough to try...
plangona: (pic#10648329)

[personal profile] plangona 2025-01-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
No way— [ octavia shakes her head at first, looking slightly surprised but her expression softens in understanding ] I guess I might be a little biased though because I've been around them a lot.



hasitsthorns: You know it, baby (CHICKEN FINGIES!)

[personal profile] hasitsthorns 2025-01-21 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's a silly fear, really! I guess I wouldn't even call it a real fear since, like, I don't mind horses or anything. Just riding them or being too close to those big hooves... [ Insert fifty yard stare here. ]

A-anyway! Yeah, if you're around them a lot- That makes sense. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, it was just so many cars. And bikes.
plangona: (pic#10648297)

[personal profile] plangona 2025-02-04 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not silly at all— especially if where you're from there are more vehicles like these around.

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.
hasitsthorns: are rhymes and nuts (The only thing I bust)

[personal profile] hasitsthorns 2025-02-07 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah? You think you'll ask for your horse back? It'd make sense, for sure! I've actually been thinking of getting a dog...

But I've been wondering if that's selfish, actually, since like- I could be gone tomorrow for all I know apparently.
plangona: (pic#10648329)

[personal profile] plangona 2025-02-23 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah of course. [it had been something she asked aurora about earlier on to just confirm if it was possible after all]

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.
hasitsthorns: You know it, baby (CHICKEN FINGIES!)

[personal profile] hasitsthorns 2025-02-24 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, hey! That's all the convincing that she needs. ]

-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. ]
plangona: (Default)

[personal profile] plangona 2025-03-08 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ octavia just nods upon hearing the response] Yeah, exactly. No use worrying about any what-ifs either.
