Hazmats vs Shepherds

Who: Hazmat crew, Shepherds of racing justice, and the Red Eyes (NPC crew)
Where: at sea, and then on Safario Island
When: 7/6 through 7/31 ALL MONTH, ALL RACE
What: the entirety of the racing shenanigans for these two crews plus their NPC foes. First sailing to Safario, then to Ebony & Ivory, and then a final climactic showdown on Dnalsi.
Warnings: let me know if any besides shounen violence
Style: anything you want
Status: closed to members of Hazmat and Shepherd crews

Considering that the Friend Ship set out safely and securely after the race's start, the U.S.S. Booyakasha II had a bit of a head start at first, but between Scurvey Dog's delightful gift of chickens and the ensuing vegetable rain, they slowed down after the first day. Will it be for long, considering they have an Avatar on board? Let's find out!

The first token is located on Safario, in the East, a place of bizarre animals and sandy beaches and not a hell of a lot else. Who will have to fight who in order to safely land their ships and find the jerk with the token clue? Can they brave the Red Eyes with their poisoned sabers as well as vicious winged bears? The Shepherds take it, but can they keep it?

From there it's on to the strange island of Ebony & Ivory, where the island itself may not look dangerous but the culture has surprises in store for them. There's a week of strange rainbows and anglerfish to battle on the way to it.

The final stop is the cloud island Dnalsi, where everything is upside down and the laws of physics don't apply. What kind of place is this for a final battle, and who's going to end up with all the tokens? What if it's the Red Eye crew?

Atlantica?

[Thinks.]

Never heard of it.

[So she's not a mutant, though. Good to know. Raph juts a thumb at his chest.]

I'm from New York City. The name's Raph. Who're you?

I have never heard of your... New York. [she said as if trying out the name for the first time. He seemed nice enough though. She smiled brightly at his introduction. Raph. How lovely!]

I’m Ariel. Wan said it would be okay to travel with your... crew. [Yes, crew, that was it.] He said it would be safer to see the world this way.

Oh.

[So someone from another world. He didn't think there were legendary storybook creatures running around NYC. Or swimming.

They've just got aliens. Obviously.]


Yeah, well, he's not wrong. This place is kind of crazy. So you just got here?

[He eyes that fish tail.]

...Are you, uh. Gonna be stuck in that tub thing?

[Nope, she’s never heard of an Nyc. Clearly a ... storybook character?]

I did! I was told I just missed the take off of a race too. There were still a lot of humans in Port Chance but they said there were so many more.

[He’s eyeing her tail. it shifted, fin trying to hide behind her.]

I’m not in it right now... [She shifted on the deck, looking off towards the lifeboat a ways down.] I should stay in it, I’m sure, but there’s so much to explore, and it’s not too hard to get in and out of.
