[OPEN] Let the races begin
January 10th is a big day for anyone interested in the races. Or rather, interested in a little bit of gambling. Located in the Southern Water Tribe, the penguin sledding races are the place to make it big or lose everything! Races will be held from dawn until midnight with stalls selling food and souvenirs are set up around the event area. Everyone is free to take place in as many races as they want on one condition — they have to catch their own otter penguin, which might be a bigger challenge than actually sledding through the race track. They take this rule very seriously! Those who hire others to catch their otter penguins for them will be disqualified if they're caught. Just remember that this is the South Pole. The event area isn't around any residential areas, so bring warm gear when you hike to it in the cold.
There's fun in Republic City, too. It's snowing, at least, so a few otter penguins have been shipped in for racing around a smaller track. There's stalls set up in the city, too, selling knickknacks and Water Tribe cuisine. People are free to place their bets here as well, but any penguin sledder who's anybody is probably already in the Southern Water Tribe where the big fish are.
So there are options. People who have free time and money to travel can take a ship to the Southern Water Tribe to see what there is to offer. People who are short on time or money can stop by the penguin sledding arena for a few minutes to see what's up.
[ OOC: Feel free to include a variety of scenarios in your tag. It's an all-day event, so if you want to include scenarios for travel, otter penguin catching, sledding or just spectating. Whatever floats your boat! ]

Well, when you're going down the slopes it is important to hold onto him, but I'm pretty sure it's slightly more important to get him to go where you need him to just so you can stay in the bounds of the race. Not that I've ever gone penguin sledding before, so I'm not quite sure how that's done...
Huh... maybe you should watch a few races before you go so you can figure out how the people who know what they're doing are doing it?

Oh, yes, I imagine so. I was joking just a little bit before, but it wouldn't hurt to look to see how someone might... steer otter penguins down the slopes. Though I would hope part of that is going to be their own instinct; after all, they seem to get as much fun out of it as we do.
