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! ]

Well we can't leave it there, can we?

[ Maybe there's something around here they can carry it with. Since it's sticky. ]
samantha_grey: (Determined)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-17 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alcohol. It's meant to relax the mind and muscles. Makes things fuzzy and hard to concentrate on, but it also makes it easy not to care about shit. Seemed like Thor can get wasted, so I figure this stuff still works on you guys.
asgardspride: (your last chance)

[personal profile] asgardspride 2013-10-17 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You're supposed to be a smart girl, last I checked. What do you think the answer to that question is, eh?
5thchild: PM me if any icon is yours (Default)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to answer anything you don't wish to. [ a small nod ] I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable.

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright, I didn't mind it.

I have learned about lilim's customs - festivals, holidays. Different seasons too, i have never had the chance to see them.

An acquired taste, right? [ the boy smiles back at Morgana, taking another sip ]

Why can't young people drink it?

Hey, it's fine. You're not the first person that's been invasive today.

[There's been plenty of people asking him questions on how he felt about things here. He was just tired of it, and didn't want to focus on the negative anymore. He wanted to get out of the mood he's been in the past week so he can fix things between him and his friends.]
5thchild: (pic#5293803)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you dislike it?
proudofwhatiam: (hamunaptra)

[personal profile] proudofwhatiam 2013-10-17 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it was Hamunaptra. [But the poor girl probably has no idea what Hamunaptra was.] Our destination. In ancient Egypt, the sons of the pharaohs were buried there--and its location had been lost for centuries. But we found it.
5thchild: Smile (pic#2526155)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
No, there is isn't. A person can't be replaced because you are not the same as anyone else. No one is you, but yourself.

[ kaworu smiles gently ]

Zadkiel simply doesn't understand that. He is a cat.
freezerburned: (In the shape of things to come)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-17 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...are they real in your world?

[They could be! But when Jaimie finishes the drawing, Isaac stands fully again, leaning over to try and catch a glimpse of it.]

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2013-10-17 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No, my taste is perfect. I simply have no need for people like you.
comeonthensexy: (→226)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-17 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Stress relief.

[ He shrugs. ]

It's your choice. You can ask me about it later.

Just don't forget everything else that matters.
freezerburned: (pic#5500836)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-17 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? It's basically the stuff of nightmares.

[He sighs.]

Don't get me started on college. Have you ever tried to describe yourself in a thousand word essay?

[ Oh, Soushi, you wish you had him distracted.

In fact, he'll use his new gift right now! And swat lightly at Soushi's leg. Just so that he'll end up regretting giving it to him. ]

Where do you think you're going?

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2013-10-17 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not anymore. [ Demona hisses at that. She isn't happy at all the gods took that from her ]
5thchild: (pic#5293804)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ kaworu nods ] yes, rabbits can suffer from albinism. But mine isn't so accentuate.

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2013-10-17 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps they are hidden. It is, after all, something we were forced to do in my world.

Who knows, in yours?
5thchild: (pic#6498553)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaworu nods, smiling.]

Yes, I am.
5thchild: (pic#5076011)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
There is still a bond, even if it's not a positive one.

[ Kaworu tilts his head ]What I agree with or not, it doesn't matter. It's your perception that does matter.
yourhatred: (that one partner)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2013-10-17 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I will not deny the possibility.

[As unlikely as it is, there are many things still hidden in his world.]
discrepant: (★ servitude smile)

[personal profile] discrepant 2013-10-17 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Be certain to offer him a "congratulations" on my behalf towards him.

[Now back to the lesson, he will smile and offer an affirmative nod.]

That's correct. Very good. Now, my next questions are: what is everyone wearing?, what type of personality would you give this group that have in common?, and how would you approach them without them noticing you?
5thchild: (pic#5076011)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-17 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
My ears? I believe so, yes.

[ kaworu listens to it attentively. He does recognize the drums increasing, but he is not quite sure what else is he supposed to hear, so he looks back at Dirk ]

So you create this music?
mccallmemaybe: (pic#6427734)

[personal profile] mccallmemaybe 2013-10-17 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure... I think I might be good at puppy dog eyes? [ Which make him get away with everything. ]

Too bad you can't actually fly with them.
divinewisdom: (interested | it's a new project.)

[personal profile] divinewisdom 2013-10-17 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. But I still have a lot to learn.

[ She is clearly happy; her eyes are roaming around the endgame of their match, thinking. ] How did you do this move? The one over here, with your queen.

[ Learning experiences: clearly this match, for her, wasn't about winning. But it seems that it was about the principle of the thing, about failing to learn better. ]
