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! ]

[ He beckons him closer with a smile, earnestly pleased at his eagerness. It's always a relief to see that - especially after the sort of tragedy that struck. His happiness means a lot to him. ]

I need you to draw me something in return - something you care about. I have the paper for you, if you'd like. That's all I ask for for my token.
asgardsverse: pb: roger garth (through the window)

[personal profile] asgardsverse 2013-10-10 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I just want you to draw a picture of something you love. Perhaps a little difficult without opposable thumbs.
asgardsverse: pb: roger garth (through the window)

[personal profile] asgardsverse 2013-10-10 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ He passes over a sheet of paper and a handful of colored pencils. ] Draw something you love for me.
asgardsverse: pb: roger garth (through the window)

Facepainting. [ He beckons him over. ] Would you like your face painted?
badwolf: (✿ 157)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-10 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Right, exactly! They're all over the place here. It's sort of standard technology, now. It's all safe, too. Just a bit expensive; especially when you forget t'turn them off for the night.

... Well, not here. But in most places.

[ Thor dribbles some beer on him. :| ]
sexyoldgirl: (You Were About To Say That)

338

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-10 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[A familiar face. One from the trip to Vanaheim that she hasn't seen since the train ride there. The TARDIS heads over to her with a smile.]

Do I get a reward if I catch you? That is how the game works, does it not?
sexyoldgirl: (Not Sure What I Just Said)

339

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-10 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Suddenly there's souffle in her face. There aren't many who the TARDIS knows would even make a souffle. She blinks down at it suspiciously before looking over towards Clara.]

How do I know you've not poisoned it? [A bit teasingly.]
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-10 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Not even. It was going to be rudimentary because he wasn't that good with the control yet, but when he was done:]



GOOD?

[Yes, Freyr, he was aware that he sucked at drawing, fox or not.]
delancret: (= what what what)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-10 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can just imagine.

[Electricity would seem like the kind of thing that only the rich have. This must be a city of great wealth. She backs away from the window a bit, brows furrowing.]

I can see I have quite a lot to learn about this place. This time. Everything.
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-10 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Thor's pants might just spontaneously catch fire as the fox bolts away.]
sexyoldgirl: (You Call Me Sexy)

340

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-10 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[The TARDIS was standing a good distance away as her daughter wrote her letters, not wanting to intrude on what was clearly a private moment. However, when she sees Alice attempting to reach the branches she moves over and holds out her hands. A silent offer to pick the girl up so she can put them on the branch.]
asgardstactics: (n.)

[personal profile] asgardstactics 2013-10-10 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ And Mimir just fixes him with a deadpan thumbs up, a silly way to acknowledge that he remembers him from the network, too. He leans forward, then, to indicate the chessboard, indicating to Sandy to move a piece. ]
asgardstactics: pb: nicholas gonzalez (Default)

[personal profile] asgardstactics 2013-10-10 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hi Stiles. Mimir will just stare expectantly back at him. ]
asgardstactics: (h.)

[personal profile] asgardstactics 2013-10-10 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ The white side will be turned to him. Mimir fixes him with a slight smile. ]

Are you going to try?
asgardstactics: (h.)

[personal profile] asgardstactics 2013-10-10 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mimir's eyebrows slowly, slowly climb higher on his forehead. ] Check isn't a person.
asgardstactics: (m.)

[personal profile] asgardstactics 2013-10-10 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ It might just be Henry's imagination, but one of those ears sure looks like it just gave a little wiggle. ]

I doubt you're wrong, but I'll let the cats keep their ears tonight, I think.
teenyoda: (Fox - 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-10 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[With a huff, he makes his fire words appear.]

MAKE WITH THE RIDDLE

[Yes, he saw the chess board. No, he did not have hands.]
sexyoldgirl: (Bitey Mad Lady)

Game one

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-10 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[The TARDIS turns to the person next to her.]

What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and the beginning of every ending?
boutant: ([smile] cool)

[personal profile] boutant 2013-10-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ 'Draw'. If there wasn't a polite smile before, there's a genuinely happy one now. ]

I love it. I'm an architecture student, back home. [ And an actual architect when it comes to dreams, but that's very illegal and going to be kept to herself. ]
badwolf: (✿ 079)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ She watches, as Danielle furrows and thinks, perhaps a little too deeply (in her opinion) about it all. ]

Yeah, but. No better way t'do that then jump in head first. You already did it once, with the game, back there.

You're a natural, Dani. You'll be fine.
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-10 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Have a cautious fox coming up, tail waggling as he looks curiously at Honir, head tilting to the side. Words blaze up over his head.]

QUESTION?
asgardsshadow: (Default)

HEL

[personal profile] asgardsshadow 2013-10-10 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Hel is not necessarily the easiest of the gods to find, but it's likely that one can catch hear nearish Fenrir's tasting booth, occasionally picking at his selection of meat. Her concept of dressing for the occasion is a slimly tailored mens'-style suit in slightly varying shades of black, though she's neglected to wear any shoes. Being as that she's not much for conversation, anyone who approaches will be asked the same thing:]

Who are the members of my immediate family, and what is their relation to me?
sexyoldgirl: (We Travel Together)

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-10 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs, reaching for the booth in front of him to help him pile more food onto his plate because the TARDIS will help him eat it.]

That is why I chose to go with the theme 'home away from home away from home". Much better than those stuffy things.
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-10 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Trinkets, trinkets, looking for people with...

TRINKETS! Hah! He found another one.

Ran, say hi to the black and white fox dancing around by your feet, yipping to get your attention as big words appear in flames.]


QUESTION FOR ME?
