Characters: Airship pilots, Eiko and friends, anyone in Lindblum! OPEN. 
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: It's time to race! In celebration of Lady Eiko's tenth birthday, Regent Cid is hosting an airship race.
Location: Lindblum
Date: March 20th, 1804 (slightly forward-dated) 
Warnings: High spirited competition!

The day of reckoning for Gaia's pilots has arrived! Yes, today hundreds of people have flocked to Lindblum to witness the spectacle: the world's finest pilots racing through the city. And all in celebration of Lady Eiko's tenth birthday.

Banners and pennants are on display throughout the city. Enterprising vendors have set up stalls selling souvenirs, including miniature models of all the airships in the race, and coloured flags to wave in support of your chosen competitor. Viewing platforms have been set up in convenient locations across the city, two each in the Business, Industrial and Theatre Districts. These are free to enter, but quickly become overcrowded. More daring citizens have climbed up onto the rooftops to watch the race.

Meanwhile, in the castle, Regent Cid, his wife, and Lady Eiko herself have a viewing platform all to themselves. This one is invite-only: a balcony that sits right over the airship docks, perfectly positioned to watch the whole race. 

The airships themselves are sitting in their bays, their pilots ready and raring to go.

It's time to race.

[ooc: All pilots should know where they finish in the race by now! If I missed you, please drop me a line. Oh, and by the way? All the airships have intercoms installed, so the pilots can all taunt talk to each other. Have fun!]
