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

[Soushi will simply copy the Doctor's shrug as he does not understand the reason for this particular lecture to him. At this point, he can't help wonder if he is considered a friend or an annoying male version of Ayame.]

There is no need to feel so much concern for my well-being, Doctor-san. I can assure you that Ririchiyo-sama is the only person who's constantly on my mind. She is never forgotten. [A short pause as his expression softens as he is reminded of the other version of his master.] Neither of them are...

[Then he decides to change his attention to the next subject at hand as he offer the man another polite smile.]

Thank you very much, Doctor-san. I appreciate your services in doing so. [A short bow of his head.]
discrepant: (★ servitude smile)

[personal profile] discrepant 2013-10-17 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[The light swat will be more than enough to regain his attention as he quickly realized his failure. Maybe he should've ran away instead of tactfully trying to retreat from him.

Now, the next question is, what do people usually say in this type of situation?]


...no where in particular. [He will turn towards the Doctor to show he surrenders.] Where do you wish for me to stand? [Because clearly he will be forced into the competition whether he likes to or not.]
kuramaless: (I got an idea!)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-10-17 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[It isn't so bad once they get to the other side of the walk way, but he glances back nevertheless, offering Namine a smile.]

Yeah, let's do it, y'know? It'll be fun, right? We could just eat at like, one of houses though? [Because it doesn't cost a thing.]
kuramaless: (blushing~!)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-10-17 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh--

[He won't ask who it's from, even if people seem to be much more open about talking of these kinds of things at the moment.

He doesn't particularly want to talk about it either, but fair's fair if they're exchanging things.]


Er. Mum an' Dad.
tonsofpun: (Put down the idiot ball for one second)

[personal profile] tonsofpun 2013-10-17 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her shoulders relax a little more, and she blows the sigh out, swinging her arms to get rid of the tension.]

Me too.

Almost everybody here is, huh?
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-17 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Which is readily returned with a smile of her own, and once she's got the space she'll fall into place next to him again.]

Right...! And-- yeah, that would probably be best. I'm not much of a cook, but we can figure something out.
mccallmemaybe: (pic#6261173)

[personal profile] mccallmemaybe 2013-10-17 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Scott smiles shyly at being called adorable. ] Thanks. I'm good. [ A lot better than the last time Inara saw him. ] It's nice to have some fun around here for a change.
kuramaless: (so tired of all this now)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-10-17 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now, he can see her relaxing, but despite that - he's not really managing to smile.]

Yeah... I guess so?

[He doesn't want to talk about it, really.]

How long you been here?
faceofbeau: ({♡} Amused)

[personal profile] faceofbeau 2013-10-17 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Not kind, just honest. I'm glad I was able to catch the performance, and I hope I get the chance to again. This seems like the type of place that could benefit from such beautiful music. [He shrugs easily, openly, and when she stands, with that beautiful smile, he reaches as if to take her hand. If she lets him, she'll get a gentlemanly kiss on the back of it, a playful sparkle in his eyes.] Captain Jack Harkness. Might I have your name as well, my lady?
ghostcalls: (☠ 4)

[personal profile] ghostcalls 2013-10-17 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ nico wasn't particularly interested in this trivia contest. what was the point? what he was interested in was getting a feel for this place, new as it was, but since he received the question anyway as he got closer... ]

I guess that'd depend on who you are. [ CLEARLY a goddess but he hadn't spent too long reading past network entries yet, not even enough to recognize his own elusive patron goddess. ]
kuramaless: (that's not good news.)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-10-17 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He keeps his eyes on her for a while, waiting for her to finish the last of the dango he'd given her before he hurried off into the shop.]

Yeah! There's a bunch of like, really easy stuff to make or whatever. You know, like instant noodles or whatever.
comeonthensexy: (→056)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Brilliant.

[ He doesn't even need to take all that many pictures because that is perfection. ]
comeonthensexy: (→085)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-17 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Want to ask them?
comeonthensexy: (→169)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-17 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs, but makes sure to keep his mouth well shut until he's chewed it all and swallowed. Or, okay, not all of it, just a bit until his mouth is more free. He's never been good about not talking with food in his mouth.

Manners are rubbish. ]

Everything I own is bigger on the inside.
comeonthensexy: (→009)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-17 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because it knows you're not cool enough for it.
lethechained: (haha...!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-17 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's not a whole lot of it left, and soon enough she's holding nothing but the stick, which she places in the wastebin on their way in.]

Mmhm! That sort of thing would probably work, if you don't mind it.

[... Not that he seems to mind ramen.]
goesagainst_thegrain: (Puzzling it out)

Day 339

[personal profile] goesagainst_thegrain 2013-10-17 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh... that's a little bit closer than he thought she'd be. It's... nice, though. Yes, definitely... very nice... it's hard to look at her face when she's this close. He focuses on her eyes, one at a time, the silver ring gleaming out at him from within them, then her nose, the freckles on her cheeks, her lips...]

Um... Ril, you...

[Should his heart be thumping quite this loudly? It's vaguely alarming. He can even hear the pulse in his ears. And though he's feeling warm thanks to the robes and all the walking he's been doing, and possibly even the fruit, he feels a chill when her lips brush his. It's almost enough to make him shiver... that can't be right. It certainly doesn't feel normal. It doesn't feel bad, however... rather the opposite.

...wait, he was saying something, wasn't he?]


Um. Is this a side effect of that fruit?

[...no, he hadn't meant to... ok, he was curious about that, but that wasn't what he wanted to ask... was it? The Doctor frowned slightly. He was losing his train of thought, and he wasn't sure if it was thanks to the fruit or just... Ril.]

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-17 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's definitely different than a lake, points for you for noticing.

[Jack appreciates that. For most people, ice is just ice. Unless you're a Eskimo and have like one hundred words for snow. (Spoilers: Jack knows them all.)]

There's a lake in the park, actually. Hopefully it'll freeze when winter comes.
hadbadays: (→28)

[personal profile] hadbadays 2013-10-17 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually I think he thinks it has the opposite effect.
sheloves: (under the banner of heaven)

Day 339

[personal profile] sheloves 2013-10-17 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Shhh, no, [Ril can't move away from him, even if she'd wanted to, and it's the second next impossible thing to falling sitting down. Contrary to fact, that feels exactly like what's happening, and she knows the fruit's not responsible for that.] I think I--

[Words. Words were not happening and before she can think, her lips find his. It's a gentle thing, like the soft slide of silk against bare skin, a kiss finished with the tip of her tongue in a minute burst of warmth against his bottom lip. Her own heart raced as her fingers slid though his hair, and she was sure he was made of honey and sunlight, the sweet tang of madrit fruit still there on his lips. Ril couldn't suppress the shiver that pressed her into him further or the soft sound that was a quietly surprised 'Oh.']

lethechained: (...!!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her brow scrunches.]

How does that work?

[-- Oh.]

Is he not human?

[That is actually a legitimate question, not a joke.]
cyan_maid: Jane switching her spookind to forkkind and back again (My trusty weapon!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you never know, right?

I used a spoon, actually! And a fork, most recently a trident. [She holds her hands apart as wide as she can.] A great big heavy thing with a big ball on one end! That was great, too, you could swing it around and bludgeon things if necessariy.
cyan_maid: (Come now!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-17 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
But still, it seems unfair to me! Everyone should get to experience those things. [Such a sad face she's got, Kaworu!]
lethechained: (Thank you)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[Her eyebrows raise - but it's not incredulity, it's surprised.]

Huh...! I didn't know you could use spoons for that. [It makes sense though, now that she thinks about it. You can hit stuff with most anything.] That's sounds really interesting. It's a shame it didn't come with you. I'd like to see it...! [Not that she... is super excited about violence, or anything, but she's curious now.] Hm. Maybe you can see about getting something custom from a blacksmith, if you'd like to try something like that again.
hadbadays: (→11)

[personal profile] hadbadays 2013-10-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, cheers.

[ Not that he really minds the reminder.

He takes the bow, and frowns at it. Well. First time for everything. ]

Instruct me?
