Coral Petrol Clockrace — Anthro Fashion Character Sheet
The Clockrace begins when every tower in the city strikes a different hour. Three runners are chosen to carry a tuning key between the clocks before sunrise. Their coral and petrol-colored outfits are built for movement, with secured chains and broad pockets holding the small tools they expect to need along the route.

The story of Coral Petrol Clockrace
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
Frena, the frilled lizard, reaches the first tower and discovers that its clock is accurate. Kefi, the kingfisher, finds the same at the second, while Hara, the hyrax, notices that the third measures the length of daylight instead of equal hours. The clocks disagree because they were built to answer different questions.
The race's old instructions demand that every face show the same number. Following them would destroy useful distinctions that the city has forgotten how to read. The runners pause their competition and send messages to the tower keepers, asking each to explain the purpose and history of the mechanism in their care.
Together they devise a common reference bell while preserving the clocks' individual displays. Frena adjusts a signal lever, Kefi carries the agreed timing between towers, and Hara helps label the unfamiliar faces. The tuning key opens a cabinet containing spare parts rather than granting magical authority over every machine.
At sunrise, one clear bell rings across the city. The clocks still show different things, now with explanations people can understand. The runners cross the finish line together, having changed the terms of the race. Their prize is a set of new route maps, and the invitation to help write next year's instructions.
