The Great Ghost Race is a time of oddities, strange weather patterns, unseen dangers and hidden treasures. You can expect something different every week.

Weather and Phenomena for the week of 7/14-7/20

Weather
(This is a world-wide effect, from sea to land to cloud islands.)

A light rain starting on Monday night will produce dazzling rainbows on Tuesday morning, lasting throughout Wednesday. Double, triple, and quadruple rainbows all the way across the sky what does it mean? Unlike ordinary rainbows, however, these reach the sea and you can pass through them. However, doing so will coat the entire ship and everything on it in a thin film of multicolored glittery goop that will take hours to wash out of clothes and hair and leave a faint sparkle trail afterward. The goop acts as an adhesive however, and going through enough of these rainbows will allow you to sail them. However, it's wiser to quit your rainbow surfing by the time the sun goes down on Wednesday because they will suddenly disappear.


Phenomena
(Seas only. Up to you whether or not you encounter it.)

Every night starting on Wednesday, you can see beautiful lights just below the water. Lights that seem to speak to you, that offer you something special if you can just reach out and touch it. Going underwater to reach these lights will put you face to fangs with a very huge, very ugly, very hungry angler fish. And a lot of them. However their lights can be pulled from them (killing them sadly) and will glow for a few weeks afterwards.

Whirlpools will open up in the North and unexpected sink holes in Cloud Islands, sending people not paying attention on the very express elevator down to the sea.


Opportunities

On going through these rainbows on lucky crew will be able to get more than goop. A black pot full of ten golden beans will be left behind, shimmering with a web of internal light. Anyone who eats the beans will be able to move faster, hit harder, and generally be a bamf. They will also hear a faint beautiful melody which will last as long as the bean's effect does. (one bean lasts two hours)


The pot o' beans goes to the member/crew who can answer this riddle. Theme: Creature

Sometimes together, always alone.
Traveling in its colorful home.
Spirals without, body within.
Hidden from danger that comes on fins.

Please put the crew name in the header.

ETA: We should have said FIRST member/crew who can answer this riddle. However since there are two correct answers there will be two pots.

Whoops, barely had time to do those revisions, but I'm here now!  I'm Ben, new to dreamwidth after a certain somebody dragged me here from tumblr, but definitely excited to be part of this game and rping with you all, and maybe even more excited (or more specifically excited?  I guess.) At the fact that we managed to find a game to join with a handful of FE:A characters.  Non-oc rp for me has been pretty much limited to almost exclusively Homestuck so far, so I'm looking forward to trying out a different muse.

And, of course, to being a pirate, but that's nothing new. 

I don't aim or any of that, but I do have both skype, with the username omniaracan, and plurk, with the same.  So feel free to contact me on either.
