Doc's house is not the youngest anymore and the water pipes in it have transported the cool wet for a long time. Any they did a good job so far.
But one day one of the pipes (it was sitting in an uncomfortable position, a bit twisted and tense) lost it's grip to it's neighbor and.... the water pressure did the rest.
Poor old pipe.
A big splash of fresh water poured down through the many holes and paths of the rock till it ended in the big center hall creating a big and several small waterfalls. The water level raised significantly thereafter.
Luckily nobody got hurt, even though some lost a few belongings in the water (but they turned up again when everything calmed down). Boober was miffed as he had a real hard time drying his socks.
But the Fraggles wouldn't be Fraggles if they'd be let down by this for long. And instead of sulking they made the best out of the situation.
Red was the first of course to discover the possibility of the new river. With a piece of wood she tamed the watery beast and it soon became a very popular sport (after a few modifications to the path to make it more safe... padding sharp corners and closing dangerous holes.)
But Doc soon caught wind of this newly hole (the water bill shot through the roof) and ordered a plumber to fix it.
Knowing their newly acclaimed entertainment was only going to last one more day, they decided to end it with a bang.
The first and last "WhiteWaterRaftRace" (WWRR for short) was announced.
________________________________________
OOC: To cut a long story short. This thread is about the water race where every Fraggle bold enough can participate.
What you need:
- A self-made raft (what you use is up to you. It just has to swim)
- Safety goggles
- Various equipment you can wear on your body and you think might come in handy during the race.
What to consider posting here:
- This race will have a competition-like quality (Meaning you can use various tactics to make sure you win the race. For example you could splash you opponents with water or ram them... but still act according to your character.)
- Any actions involving another player should be attempted. (For example: Senny attempts to splash water at Red to make her miss the next turn and to skip ahead of her).
- You can also add conditions for different outcomes. (Should Senny succeed he'll shout triumphantly, if he misses he will "Hmpf" to himself.)
- I the "Gamemaster" of this thread will decide about the outcomes of all the actions and play the several other participants (some of the original Fraggles, some generic Fraggles and of course Senny Fraggle... although I will try not to let Senny win). I will roll dice if the outcome is not clear for me.
- Theoretically the player with the most clever and most original and most interesting posts should win the race (and perhaps I'll draw a picture of him/her....depending how it works out ^^) Although is also involved.
- Only one player post each per GM post (if you want to add something modify your own post, but please mark what you changed. And try not to change something to evade an action a later player posted aka "cheating" ^^.)
This rule only applies after the race started. In the preparation phase you may post as much as you want to chat and interact with other racers/spectators/fans.
- I plan to post once or twice a week. So everyone should have enough time to write his or her posts. Everyone not posting during that time is assumed to just continue on without special actions.
- Your first posts should describe how you prepared for the race (including your equipment you take with you as well as what your raft is made of.) and how you meet the other racers.
- Ideas/problems/proposals for this thread either in OOC notes or per PM to me.
Characters participating (so you know who you can meet at the starline):
Red
Gobo
Wembley
5 other generic Fraggles (you can define their looks if no one else has done so)
Senny
And you of course.
