EVENT LOG: LOOK! A DISTRACTION!

Who: EVERYONE
What: Look! A Distraction! Festival log part one. The overflow log can be found here and part two of the event can be found here.
When: Days 338-341 (Oct. 8-15)
Where: The castle courtyard.
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ All barriers are coming down for this five-day event: both the ones between the gods and their Travelers and between the city and its center. The castle courtyard is open to any and all for the next five days. NPC booths with games, snacks, and trinkets fill the space both along and around the entrance with plenty of room to spare for anything the Travelers might want to set up for themselves. Music and food fill the air at a constant, with firepits and decorative torches burning at night to light up the courtyard in an earthy glow and keep everyone warm. There will be plenty of food and entertainment, and the party will last throughout the night each night.

The theme of the festivities will change with every day:
Day 338 (Oct. 8/9)
It's time for a costume party! Travelers will be encouraged by the natives and gods alike to wear costumes both silly and serious! Anyone needing assistance simply need to say the word, and they will be descended upon by enthusiastic natives ready to help and desperate to put the tragedy of Thiazi's attack behind them.

Day 339 (Oct. 10/11)
Familiar scents will waft in the air with the theme of the second day: Home away from Home! The visiting god Honir has made a push to organize food and music straight from the Travelers' worlds, and it will all seem absolutely and utterly authentic. The natives will be cooking and playing music throughout the festival, and will be encouraging Travelers to to teach others about their own world/time's clothing and culture.

Day 340 (Oct. 12/13)
This day is going to follow something of a Samhain celebration. Merlin, with the permission and help from the gods, planted the seed of an oak tree in the centre of the courtyard. By this day, it will have grown as large as though it's been there for a hundred years. Travellers will be welcomed to tie ribbons or letters to the tree for their departed loved ones and friends, whether they've passed on or simply left the city, in remembrance and a final farewell.

However, being far too curious about to whom they're writing, Honir will be going through all of the ribbons and letters when no one's looking. Moved by their losses, he'll be bugging Mimir into helping him perform a spell that will bring a sort of comfort to everyone. Characters can receive up to a maximum of three photographs of themselves with whomever their ribbon is for, regardless of whether or not they ever took a picture with that person or even had the technology to do so. All of these photographs will be candid shots of happy memories that will be waiting for them on the Travelers' pillows.

(We aren't doing approvals for these so please, limit yourselves to only three photographs!)

Day 341 (Oct. 14/15)
This day will introduce a festival game with the gods! As you go around to the various booths and attractions throughout the festival, NPCs will be handing out small treats to anyone they see wearing the colors of their patron god - whether you wore the colour intentionally or not!

The gods themselves will also be hosting another game of sorts: each of Asgard's patrons and allies will have a riddle or trivia question for any Travelers that approach them. Answer these correctly and they will tie a token of their favor (a ribbon in their colour or crest) around your upper arm. These ribbons can be cashed in for prizes at any time during the rest of the festival! (More details can be found under Day 341 HERE.)
The log for the fifth day masquerade can be found here!

The event guide for various events throughout the festival can be found here. Please include your location and the IC day (ex. Day 338 - this can be found in the schedule) in your top-level comment or your subject line when starting a thread! If you want to request a certain god, feel free to ping them and we will do what we can. Otherwise, have fun, and as always - let us know if there's anything you need! ]

No, no. It's all right. But I feel bad for the poor apple.

[ He blinks. ]

No. No, they haven't, but I guess... we all have some of the others in us. Ten is a lot like Five, I suppose. I can see Three in Eight.

[ A beat. ]

If Three were nicer.
saving_sound: (But that's no good either...)

...Doctor? Do you mind if I ask...

Who did you write your letters to...?

So people know what they're voting for. Stand there and look beautiful.

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. Could see it that way too.
cyan_maid: (Just doing some reading)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[Jane crosses her arms in front of her chest.] I've met Jade, so I can't say I don't see where you're coming from. It could be something, though. We're from a similar...well, we've both played the game, and my friends are waiting on her and her friends to arrive, so there might be something to that observation.

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Just some friends.
cyan_maid: Jane determined to bake (Baking is the best!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-13 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane Crocker! [She beams.] Nice to meet you!

Kept you busy, then.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-13 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Fucked if I even know what I did this time. I went to Vanaheim, played nice, got the twins brought back. But they're gonna be sorry if they don't stop getting my friends wrapped up in this shit.
cyan_maid: Jane is pleased to help bake in all red (Happy to help!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-13 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I am...I suppose? It feels a little silly to get sucked into everything, but I can't help having fun, even if it's still awfully strange.

[ Oh. Bowing. That's a new one. He blinks and... bows in return? Is that instead of a handshake? ]

That's alright. I'm John Watson.
cyan_maid: (Polite laughter)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-13 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[A hand comes up to cover her mouth.] Hoo hoo! I'm just making broad observations, Mister Strider, but when something strikes my fancy I just have to investigate!
cyan_maid: (Shush!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-13 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It is! In a way. Getting into talk of Gods and such is a bit of sticky business, and there are plenty of parties, but I haven't seen one to this extravagance with my own eyes.
ffuckoff: [joke] [smile] (i collect posters.)

[personal profile] ffuckoff 2013-10-13 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
'Creature,' that's good one, and she chuckles. She was expecting this guy to be more humorless, but maybe he was just born without the ability to make facial expressions. It's probably very tragic and she shouldn't make fun of him.

"Yeah, you're kinda dressed like one." She says this to him gently, as if informing him that he's potentially contagious, and sorry about that. "Or, I dunno, a cartoon vampire." She can't tell if he's in costume or not, but considering it's costume day, she figures it's safe to hedge her bets.

Ah.

[ He doesn't know what the photos are (hasn't received any himself yet), but. ]

Are they of importance?
zen_en_vert: (can't help but scurry)

[personal profile] zen_en_vert 2013-10-13 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's almost enough to make me wish I weren't a vegetarian.

Truly? I feel as though it's impossible to miss it.

[ It's more amused than anything, though. ]
yggdrasilssea: (uhHUH » you think you're cool)

[personal profile] yggdrasilssea 2013-10-13 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No trick question. Rose gets a ribbon without another word from Ran. ]
yggdrasilssea: (well well » looks like a winner)

[personal profile] yggdrasilssea 2013-10-13 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, and even smiles a little when she holds out his ribbon. ]
saving_sound: (I'll listen.)

[personal profile] saving_sound 2013-10-13 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they friends from here, or...?
yggdrasilssea: (i'm thinking » mostly about your dumb)

[personal profile] yggdrasilssea 2013-10-13 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
A few of them. We prefer not to.
ffuckoff: [static] (i wave all responsibility.)

[personal profile] ffuckoff 2013-10-13 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[And then she jumps, and then, oh God please tell Fiona she can read. Do they have reading in post-apocalyptic zombieland? If not, Fiona's heart might damn near break.]

I've still got some of the pizza that was at my booth, if you want it. [Cheap reheated pizza, the true spirit of home.]
yggdrasilssea: (oooh » you did not just)

[personal profile] yggdrasilssea 2013-10-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Occasionally.

[ Give her your best, Samantha. ]
