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! ]

Another chess board?

[ Sitting down, then, with a grin. S'up, Allpapa. ]

How does that work, then? Just a good old game?

[Jormungand is neither lollipops nor rainbows. He considers the Doctor for a moment. This is one of those people who will find it too easy, definitely. But it has to be a level playing field.]

What belongs to you, but others use it more than you do?
comeonthensexy: (→235)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-20 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, a game!

[ Always nice to see the gods getting down to that level and trying to have some fun. ]

What's the point of this then?

[He shakes his head]

I did not recognize you.
comeonthensexy: (→177)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-20 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to see you're feeling better.

[ And he's definitely helping himself to a cookie. ]

[Isaac nods.]

Well- glad to see she didn't curse you in retaliation, I guess. And that you don't have to worry about them anymore.

They were inspired on my kind. We can indeed turn into a substance similar to stone.

[ however, Demona tilts her head, curiously. Oh? ]

Simply because you do not have your powers, does not mean you stop being what you are.

[ He sees those lines under your eyes. ]

Still recovering?
comeonthensexy: (→067)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-20 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Definitely too easy. The answer comes right away. ]

My name.
asgardsfangs: (will he make an agreement)

[personal profile] asgardsfangs 2013-10-20 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

The others who found it too easy requested another riddle. Will you?

[ Shrug. ]

I never say no to riddles.

[Turlough chuckled, nodding at Clara.]

It's changed my life-thankfully, for the better.
asgardsfangs: (or tie down his tongue)

[personal profile] asgardsfangs 2013-10-20 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He considers a moment.]

A man dies of thirst in his own home. How is this possible?
raffinato: (ᴄʜᴀʟʟᴇɴɢᴇ)

[personal profile] raffinato 2013-10-20 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Truly? I cannot imagine such a thing, and yet my brother has been here for quite some time as well.

[It doesn't seem right. When will they be able to return home?]

What is the longest time someone has stayed here for? Do you know?
raffinato: (ᴏᴏᴘs)

[personal profile] raffinato 2013-10-20 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He reminds her so much of Ezio when he was younger. His smile is like Petruccio's, all child-like and innocent. Had he not been sick, he could have been just as spry as Desmond.]

That's very thoughtful of you, Desmond.

[She looks up at the ribbons there, all of them expertly tied high above.]

[ He finds it amusing the gods keep pulling riddles known on Earth. But, then, considering that's where most Travellers are from, it makes sense too. ]

He's in a house boat in the middle of the ocean with no fresh water.

One day.

It's built into the camera, like this.

[ With one press of a button, it goes! ]

[personal profile] asgardspride 2013-10-20 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Eyes are working, I see. [smirk]

The one who made it didn't want it.
The one who bought it didn't need it.
The one who used it never saw it. What is it?
asgardspride: (don't let yourself go)

[personal profile] asgardspride 2013-10-20 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll like this one. I'll even throw in a hint. You'd like to give me one of these.

[ He knows what she means. ]

Well. No. Not a fan of those. Look, I think there's one over there!

[ Pointing; there's a child that's a little on the grey side. Not so much that he won't react if you talk to him, but enough that it'd be very strange if he was a Traveller. ]
comeonthensexy: (→192)

[ Without even the slightest pause: ]

A coffin.

[ She gets a bop on the nose before he answers. ]

I love you too.
asgardspride: (your time is now)

[personal profile] asgardspride 2013-10-20 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flick, hey, a ribbon!]

A clever one to boot. Not the trickiest of riddles I've heard, but that's not the point.
comeonthensexy: (→214)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-20 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, then, bag it is.

[ Let's go to the nearest booth to check! ]
