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 was referring to himself more than Jack; if he lets himself dwell on it too long, today is going to get to him rather badly.

And Jack gets a smile at that, though it's more simply pleased than flirtatious.]


Well, if you insist, I'm hardly going to stop you.

[There are plenty of booths around selling alcohol; if Jack isn't going to pick one, the Doctor will be happy to wander for a while with him. Walking is nice too, and distractions are better than alcohol.]
tonsofpun: (Based on something in between)

Who else?
goesagainst_thegrain: (Lord of all I can see)

[personal profile] goesagainst_thegrain 2013-10-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Aha! A god after my own heart.

[Even if he doesn't like most of them... well! A god of travel is probably alright.]

Have you seen anything interesting in your travels? I do like hearing about places I've never been.

[It's even better to go there, but since he doesn't have that option right now...]
timesnewroman: (Default)

[personal profile] timesnewroman 2013-10-24 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
No there isn't.

[ Doctor, all we ever do is argue anymore. We need Amy to sort us out. ]

Look, just snap your pictures now, because I'm not ever wearing a fez again.
sexyoldgirl: (You Were About To Say That)

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-24 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. Nothing interesting about sand that doesn't move.
sexyoldgirl: (Longing Stare)

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-24 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[A small forced smile.] Always has been.

They are people you miss. Of course they belong. Two of my letters were for people who...who I lost before coming here.
vapidfloozy: (Default)

[personal profile] vapidfloozy 2013-10-24 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well... yeah, I guess that's probably true. But they could've gotten out of it if they really didn't want to, right? I bet deep down they loved the attention! Girls like that sort of thing. [He says, as if he knows anything at all about girls.]
fredless: (Action : Looking Up)

[personal profile] fredless 2013-10-24 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Fred's still a bit caught up in watching the world as it passes by when a voice catches her attention. She answers, almost automatically]

Thanks. I don't know why I thought so hard about...

[And then Fred finally looks. Stares, even. The woman in front of her is incredibly beautiful. The only person's she has ever seen come close is Cordy]

Are you real?
freezerburned: (Default)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-24 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I never thought about it that way before.

[He lifts his eyebrows.]

If they wanted to save us though, they probably could have done so without pulling us into a war.
freezerburned: (It's been getting to me all this time)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-24 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Gotcha.

[Isaac nods, looking over the... bush.]

Well- congrats. You really fooled me, kid.
bonnypiperlad: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2013-10-24 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Right, he can do that! It can't be that hard, after all. And when she hands it over to him, he guesses that's what she'd like him to do.

"Oh. Ah, right."

He sets the pizza down and turns the can around in his hands for a second, tipping it slightly to study the top before sliding his thumb under the tab and trying to wiggle it under the wrong side. At least he realizes that it is the wrong side quickly enough, and corrects himself, uprighting the can as he pops the top and hands it back to Fiona.

"There ye are, then. I'm guessing ye don't need a glass for it, in this case."

[He's so afraid to eat this.

But he said he would, so with a deep breath, Inigo pops one into his mouth and chews. He really, really hopes it's not human flesh... it doesn't taste like human, at least. But how would he know? How would he know?]


Is it... uh... horse?
stilledsurgeon: (hawaiian shirt smile)

[personal profile] stilledsurgeon 2013-10-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
((ooc: No problem!))

Well, at least the human race figures out how to use their brains for something other than making war.

[He looks her over.]

And what are you supposed to be?
beforethewar: (bush2)

[personal profile] beforethewar 2013-10-24 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
At the risk of sounding cliche, you do have a room.

[Eight eyes the blue stuff dubiously.]

I wasn't planning on it. I take it the stuff makes you a bit...ah...

[Well, horny, but he's not going to say that. Instead, he waves a hand vaguely, to indicate the two of them being all over each other.]

[personal profile] seethelanterns 2013-10-24 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Or maybe I could ask Eugene. Maybe he might know?
thehedgehogsdilemma: [@ thanoodles] (➤ track 13: Fly Me to the Moon)

[personal profile] thehedgehogsdilemma 2013-10-24 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shinji's lack of response only meant he listening intently and took it in. There wasn't a smile, but not because he disliked that answer.

In fact. After a moment of silence passed, he looked down for a moment and hesitantly began to reach his hand (...paw, thanks to the costume?) out for the other boy's. But he was quick to awkwardly pull his hand back to his side.

His gaze is looking not at the other boy's. He glances around the scenery of this festival before them when he finally speaks. ]


I don't think I'd believe that if we had this conversation, before. But it's getting a little easier believing you than before. I think. [ Maybe the trust still needed some work, but it was considerably better than their earlier encounters.

But he also couldn't help but wonder, ]


Is there anyone who brings you happiness, Kaworu-kun? [ Is that why you understand this? (or is it because lilim are that simple?) And there's got to be more than just making Shinji happy. Right...? ]
madcuriosity: (Please don't leave me)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-24 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
But I don't... I don't want to be nuisance. [Because they aren't her real parents, after all. They could just as easily get tired of her, could want the next companion, the next Doctor, the next... anything to want to live with them instead. She doesn't offer anything to them. She doesn't do anything useful except tend to a garden they likely wouldn't need.]

There isn't anything I do that is of any use. [Because you had to be useful in a war, didn't you?

Perhaps the pictures had reminded her that she had been pulled into a war to save all the other worlds. Perhaps the pictures reminded her of the family she wasn't with and the one that had taken her in. But she wasn't really their family. And if your own family could get mad at you, even if they still loved you, if they could yell at you and the sorts, what would an adopted family be able to do? What would an adopted family decide?

madcuriosity: (Whyever are you sad!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-24 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
Are you going to snatch me right out of the air, Mr. Swamp Monster?

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-24 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well. [Isaac shrugs.] We've all got our ups and downs.

Enjoying the festival?
in_loveless_memory: (It's cute)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-24 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He blushed the tiniest bit from the way Voldemort mentioned noticing him. Something about the man made Ritsuka... well he didn't know what.]

Is that so... [His ears pressed back and he cleared his throat looking away from Voldemort because looking at him just seemed to make it more... difficult to get upset.]

You haven't said your name yet.
in_loveless_memory: (You've got to be kidding me)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-24 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Ritsuka's ears bent back, his tail swishing in agitation.]

Yes, it's real. So are my ears. [He was seriously getting tired of being asked this. For a place linked to all universes you would think he was not all that impressive.]
sopeculiar: (pic#)

[personal profile] sopeculiar 2013-10-24 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Belle can't help letting out a soft laugh at her reaction, nodding.] I thought my world was quite normal as well until I ended up in an enchanted castle. It does change the way you think, doesn't it?
comeonthensexy: (→014)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-24 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs. ]

It's got small tubes of colour in it, that's how.
comeonthensexy: (→085)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-24 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. That's why I'm here.
