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! ]

Whatever you say, pal. Something tells me no matter which way you look at it, it's true.

[This kid had more imagination than most of the kids he'd met and he really appreciates it. It's nice to see someone so young and filled with so much enthusiasm.]

Keep your cake, I'm goin' for the pie.
tonsofpun: (Comics are the best)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Ellie beams back, shaking her head- oh, Alice.]

No, I meant because you had a nanny. But I like your costume, it is really cool. And juust a little creepy, which is good.
tonsofpun: (Could be okay)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
And wouldn't have to duck, you mean?

- hey, if you want, we can make it big enough for the Doctors too.

... oh. Eeesh.

Maybe Sandy knows if there are space cows. He's been around forever.

[He doesn't have any more imagination - he has more faith than most. Except for the kids here that meet Jack Frost and the Sandman.]

[Don't mind Jamie, he'll just tag along to help Dean spot a pie stand.]
tonsofpun: (Easy there buddy)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, I guess that's a good enough reason. But this is a lot of food. You made a booth, though?

Humanity just... used Earth right up and needed to find a new home.

[She's always a little leery to inform people what happens to Earth, but she'd decided long ago that she wouldn't lie. Besides, for all she knew, that only happened to the Earth from where she was from. The future for his Earth could be something else entirely.

She drops her gaze a little, and she impressed by his manners. It's something that she's found can be lacking in the city.]


Well, Captain, it's lovely to meet you. [She lifts her gaze again, flashing him a warm smile.] I must admit, I'm rather fascinated by people who are actually from Earth.

My I ask what that term means? I've heard it so many times before... "cool".

[personal profile] digophelia 2013-10-14 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so I see! I love it, it suits you very well!

[It's not obvious from Alice's level, but if she stands back, she can see it, finally.]

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-14 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Jamie, Jack has to laugh more at that. Because. That name, god.]

I wish Bunny was here to hear you say that. [Because their names together? Come on, Jamie!] Was about to say something about initials, but I guess NSBFF sounds like some kind of weird high school secret code for... something.
unnaturallygreen: (i think i'll try defying gravity)

[personal profile] unnaturallygreen 2013-10-14 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
You mean it doesn't clash with me.

[But she's smiling somewhat, nonetheless--a slight, barely-there smile, but it's there all the same.]
tongue3y3s: @nightmarewing (Mmfffphahahaha.)

not even a little 8D

[personal profile] tongue3y3s 2013-10-14 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Did you, now? [She giggles, and swings to a stop, but continues to sway playfully.] I'm sure they were extremely terrified by the purrbeast's furious roaring! What did the helpless citizens do to incur such a punishment?

[Terezi's hands come up under her thighs and she begins to walk through the festival, carrying the other troll easily.]
unnaturallygreen: (i'm through accepting limits)

[personal profile] unnaturallygreen 2013-10-14 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too, Miss Crocker. [She looks at the stage, then, more to herself:] You'd think they'd put on something other than Wizomania first.
tonsofpun: (Easy there buddy)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, shit. Um.

[How do you explain cool?]

Uh, it's good, and I like it?

[Jack is jumping from place to place, trying out different foods (sweet mostly), nodding his head with different rhythms. He didn't live through the Middle Age, he isn't that old, but it's sill interesting to walk around this part of the festival and feel the centuries on his shoulders go away.

It's the mention of "Winterfell" that really catches his attention, though, so with his own slice of lemon pie floating next to him, he stops to listen.]


There's no way you guys can call that summer. You're describing winter! All year long! It's awesome! [He sounds like an excited little kid.]
yourhatred: (i see (v2))

[personal profile] yourhatred 2013-10-14 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[He doesn't so much as blink at the reaction.]

I'm afraid I've never met one of your kind.
necrowmantic: (and when I'm done it's over)

i did not miss this tag wtf wtf

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-14 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Geez, it's a festival! What do you think I'm doing here?"

Okay, this was closer to the death tree than anything, and it's an entirely different atmosphere- but. It was a good enough excuse.

"What's that you got there? Whose blood?"

More important than 'what's in it'.
needsnoheadsman: ([ pensive ])

[personal profile] needsnoheadsman 2013-10-14 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
No, I wasn't exiled.

[I died, he doesn't say. He's said it once before, to Arya before she left, and even then only once. No one's asked yet, not up until now, and he'd been content with not saying a word about it, but now the words stick in his throat.]

Winterfell was razed to the ground, [he finally says,] some time ago, while I was at war. [And I died afterwards, is left unspoken.]
tonsofpun: (I go back and forth)

I HAD FAITH

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"I thought music and parties wasn't your thing. And I don't- I don't fucking know whose blood."

The last thing she really wants to do is talk about the fact that it's probably her mom's.

"Why does it matter?"
necrowmantic: (the horror is in our hands)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-14 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"It's blood, of course it matters! Blood has the best stories."

He's trying to reach out and poke it.

"And really, what makes you say that? I love all the noise and the screaming. Saw a couple drunken natives get into a bar fight and knife each other, it was great!"
needsnoheadsman: ([ resolved ])

[personal profile] needsnoheadsman 2013-10-14 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Robb turns to Jack, and huffs out a laugh.]

That is summer, at least in the North. Winter lasts longer and is far harsher than the summer snows for us.

[Yes, there's such a thing as summer snows, don't even start.]
tonsofpun: (Let's keep moving)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't- don't touch it. Dammit, Henry-"

Yeah, she sounds serious about that. And even a little angry as she pulls it away from him.
necrowmantic: (06)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Why not? Is it fragile?"

But he stops trying to grab it from her, though he is leaning in to try to get a closer look at it. "Is it yours? I've bled over aaaaaaall my things, it happens!"

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Jack definitely knows about summer snows. He's tried them. They probably don't work the same as Winterfell's, but the idea is there.]

It isn't that harsh if there are people living there. Points for you for that, by the way. [Robb sounds so proud of his family's words, of Winterfell. Even it's not directly related to him, it makes Jack grin dumbly. It's nice seeing nice feelings directed at winter for a change.]

What did you guys have in your world? Snowball fights? Snowman? Snow angels? Ice skating? Anything?
Edited (icon fail becuase my account decided to run out just now, go figure) 2013-10-14 04:41 (UTC)

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-14 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. More like a drink. Ice and fruit juice. Nothing weird this time, I promise.

[Don't ask why "this time" should be clarified. He's being a good boy today, ok.]
tonsofpun: (Shutting down)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-14 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, it's really old."

She calms down a bit when he stops trying to touch it, and hesitates, but tips it a little to let him read the words.

"... my mom wrote it."

She shakes her head, shrugging.
