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! ]

OVERFLOW LOG

Yeah? What's your home like? Ya got brothers?

[He can suddenly picture her in one of those magazine pages that he used to have taped to the wall, doing some of the simple everyday things that Tom secretly loved.]

Eh, just outside of Barry. Been all over really, especially during the fruit pickin' seasons.
bays: (pic#6196931)

[personal profile] bays 2013-10-17 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Looks like there's all sorts of interesting things to eat around here.

[And Tom isn't the least bit shy about trying it. He just wonders how long it'll all be around.]

I bet ya have lots of salads and stuff where you're from.
bays: (pic#)

[personal profile] bays 2013-10-17 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Someone must've seen 'em. Guess that's just what they'd look like too. Toad in the hole.

[He takes a deep breath, satisfied.]

It ain't gonna blow up on ya, mate. Don't ya got burgers where you're from?
bays: (pic#6845297)

[personal profile] bays 2013-10-17 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Tom grins, glancing away as he stuffs his hands into his pockets.]

Well I don't know nothing about angels or mages, but none of the werewolves I ever met wore clothes.
timaeus_testified: Icon by <user name=nimmo> (Yeah let's do this!)

It's a newer genre of music called Electronic. It's made with the equipment here, [He points to the mixing board and turntables. Dirk steps over to them, setting the soda down as he flicks off the pre-mixed tracks and adjusts the dials. The beat slows down.]

How good are your ears, Kaworu? [He reaches for another dial, turning it ever so slowly. The drums increase, bit by bit. If one has a good ear, they can hear it. Dirk watches him as he holds it at a 5% increase.]

[personal profile] bays 2013-10-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Finally. Tom grins at that, turning away just long enough to serve some up on a plate.]

Was always a favorite back at the cafe. Couldn't fix it fast enough around the lunch rush.

[He holds it out to her, adding a soft nod.]

I hope ya like it. There's plenty, so don't be shy about seconds.

[Haytham can't help but roll his eyes at this.]

Good lord, if Washington was the best man they could come up with for the job...

[He lets the thought trail off--it's difficult to discuss matters of a political nature when your opponent is both from your future (apparently) and also a child. ...actually he has no idea of the boy's capabilities as such, but it's easy enough to suppose that the conversation would be an annoyance, either way.]

What year are you from, boy?

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-10-17 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
You think so? Well, maybe we can wait, until you get better at it then! There are different....um, levels right? So it gets stronger and better the more you practice and talk to people.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-10-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. So don't go saying swears!

I like music! Do you?

[Fascinating.

Truly fascinating, he notes as he looks back up at Fenrir, the flash of the beast he'd been given now vanished and gone. He is still smiling, but in a more subdued way. Fear has no hold over Voldemort here, as he considers himself well and truly immortal now more than ever (aside from the oncoming war that he has every intention of winning) thanks to the wolf's darling sister.

Fenrir may try to scare him all he likes, but even so, the Dark Lord is immune to such tactics, having mastered them long ago. Having picked a ribbon, he holds onto it along with his others.]


Extras the equivalent of Lord Voldemort? Surely not. I know as well as you I am not meant to be replaced so easily by the drop of a hat. Baldr chose me for a purpose, and truly, I am surprised it has taken this long in order for such a selection to occur. If there is any single being that has been brought in that could change the outcome of this prophecy, it is I. I will do it, too, for your sister's sake, as well as my own.
familyissues: (Beebin - So I was thinking)

1996.

[ Fixing him with that rather lofty, self-important expression most kids his age tend to wear at some point, objecting to being reduced to just 'boy' in this conversation, he adds, ]

My name is Desmond. [ ...with just a little waffling, because this guy's kinda intense, ] Sir.
timaeus_testified: (Man on a mission)

[personal profile] timaeus_testified 2013-10-17 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but we're here to help if you need it. [Unlike before, Dirk doesn't insist on anything. He offers, then leaves it alone. The events of the session and life in the city has changed him more than he probably realizes. He puts his hands in his pockets as he pauses just enough for her catch up.]

I don't sleep much. Don't worry about waking me up if you got something to say.

[He starts moving again and inwardly kicks himself for being so serious during a party.]
sheloves: (in the beginning was the light)

[personal profile] sheloves 2013-10-17 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help but let out something that is very close to a giggle. He gets a hair ruffle and a shake of her head.]

I'll do little batches, just for you.

[She pauses as he crams the tart in. For Priis' sake, Eleven.]

...is your mouth bigger on the inside, then?
cyan_maid: (Jumping headfirst into adventure!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-17 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll just nod and follow along, building up an image in her head. She's good at that.] I'll be sure to remember that!

Oh, I'm alright, but my weapons didn't come with me. I suppose I could find something similar here.
cyan_maid: (Oh really now?)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-17 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[And catch up she does.] But it wouldn't be very fair of me if I didn't try to stand on my own feet, now would it? I'm a big girl, Dirk, and I'd like to think that I can take care of myself.

[Hmmm! Eyebrows go up at that.] You don't? That's not very healthy, you know.
lethechained: (Olderne! Curly hair <:)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I just hope you won't have to use that memory.

[Nodding thoughtfully--] There are places to equip yourself here, yes. What did you usually use?
Edited 2013-10-17 03:32 (UTC)
tonsofpun: (Excellent)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-17 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't intend to try riding a horse either, but that shit happened.

[She loves reminding him. And she hands him the bow.]

Give it a shot.
tonsofpun: (Joel: Stay down)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-17 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... yeah. I mean, I didn't get it here. I've had it a long time.

... who'd you write to?
tonsofpun: (Sunshine)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-17 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I've been doing a ton of both, so. No wonder I'm getting better at it.

Not as good as Jade, not yet.
madcuriosity: (What a splendid idea!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-17 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I would love to have a ribbon! What must I do?
bays: (pic#6196937)

[personal profile] bays 2013-10-17 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Just toad in the hole.

[Tom shrugs his shoulders, because it's pretty self-explanatory - to him. But then he remembers that the people here come from all over.]

Nah, mate. It's got no toad in it at all. And no frog or turtle, nothing like that. Don't think even I could eat it if it did.
torchwoodteaboy: (small smile)

[personal profile] torchwoodteaboy 2013-10-17 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[A bit surprised to suddenly have a hat and a Scotsman headed in his direction, Ianto obliges, stepping forward and managing to catch the hat before it blows away further. He reaches down to pick it up, moving to brush the dirt off of it before he stands to face the other man.]

Isn't your costume cooperating with you, then? [the Welshman asks, with the hint of a smile on his face as he does. Once the newcomer is close enough, he'll offer him his hat back, in a form of greeting, of sorts.]
madcuriosity: (That's so sweet of you)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-17 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! You're about to see Mr. Loki? I just finished speaking with him. Mr. Loki is splendid fun! Do be careful though, he's not the trickster god for nothing. He's the one who made the bracelet networks. Don't let his pamphlet fool you, he's incredibly brilliant!

[She went back to the stand and explained what happened. She went to pull out her small purse.]
penitently: (Default)

[personal profile] penitently 2013-10-17 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That didn't tell him much, but he could pick up that she wasn't up to going into detail about them and Kurt was the last person to pry.]

I would think that I would like to have seen some of them, if only to say I had.
torchwoodteaboy: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] torchwoodteaboy 2013-10-17 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Ianto turns at the sound of the voice addressing him, to greet the man there. At the question, he gives a little shrug.]

Maybe a little. [he replies, his Welsh accent lilting gently as he does. He shrugs.] If there's anything to be had out of it, I figure it's worth the effort. And if not, then at least there was time taken to remember them, if nothing else. [He's just hoping that whatever happens, their names won't be taken and used against him. That will be the last time he trusts the city if he does, mark his words.]
