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! ]

Fine! You've got five seconds!

[Here it comes!]
cyan_maid: (Sly Sweetheart)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a mystery.]

You know, I can't remember if I asked before, but I don't think I did. I hope I'm not prying too much, but how long have you been in Asgard?
tipsygnostalgia: (strider pose)

[personal profile] tipsygnostalgia 2013-10-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
He'd probably explode with some weird mix of rage and mortification.
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-10-28 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Jane crosses her arms.] She did say she used to live with Calliope. Oh gosh. I'd like to move in with her at some point, preferably soon.
fishdouche: (awwww)

[He'll try to force a smile that doesn't look ridiculous with his shark teeth. Y'know, this costume thing... it was almost fun.

Not that he'd admit it. Ever.]


Wwhatevver. Can wwe go noww?
justlove: (pic#6922230)

[personal profile] justlove 2013-10-28 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have! This whole thing has been really great. There's so much to see that it's a little hard to keep track of everything, but it's been a lot of fun anyway.
justlove: (pic#6922225)

[personal profile] justlove 2013-10-28 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughed too. Her enthusiasm was infectious.]

Do you have a favorite kind? If it's your favorite, then there's got to be a good reason for that. I'll have whatever you like.

Is Eugene a friend of yours?
likethetragedy: (I know you'll be alright)

[personal profile] likethetragedy 2013-10-28 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't really have fun.
unbrokenwheel: (Can we not call them venti.)

[Leo gives her a thumbs up as he gets to his feet.] That's because I'm an awesome genius, I know.

Leo the amazing will be back in a second.

[He disappears into the crowd, leaving his art pad behind after claiming his costume. It isn't long at all before he returns without the face paint and circuits. Instead, he looks like a throwback to Roman times. His hair is messy and he stands like Leo always has but the outfit fits damn near perfectly.]

Well? How does it look?
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: making you feel cute)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2013-10-28 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji tries to follow her instructions as best he can, shifting his stance around and trying to line himself up for a shot.

"Ah, I think so? I transferred in pretty late in the year, so I never got to sign up for any. I know there was a swimming club, track team, and a kendo club. I think girls could play tennis too."

[personal profile] seethelanterns 2013-10-28 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well....Okay, more than a friend. I met him back home, before ending up here in Asgard with him and all.

[Which she is still so, so relieved about. Being together, having a more familiar face amongst all of this.]
redhourglass: <user name=megascopes> (Default)

[personal profile] redhourglass 2013-10-28 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't happen to find anything from home for you, did you?
redhourglass: <user name=megascopes> (turn and look)

[personal profile] redhourglass 2013-10-28 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ that certainly gets her attention; she actually puts down her fork and glances over at him, raising an eyebrow. ]

A favor from me? Must be a big thing, to have you asking.

[ Jade smiles at that, nodding down at her hands; it's nice, at least, to know that people are actively enjoying themselves. ]

How many of the ribbons did you end up with?
lethechained: (Minute)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She continues as though unaware he's watching, daintily plucking a bite-sized chunk and raising it to--]

[She glances up, blinks, and stops, eyebrows raising slightly.]

[What's that look for, Naruto?]


Something wrong?

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack just nods while getting back to his smoothie. He doesn't want to say it out loud, but he doesn't like admitting he's wrong either.]

So what kinds of stuff are you used to then? Something tells me it's definitely not Santa.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Do what? [He tilts his head, playing innocent.] Oooh, you mean this? [He gives it another tug.]

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh. Welp, go figure. At least she's amused, that makes her nice in Jack's opinion. Though there's one important subject to discuss now.]

Odin, huh? What powers did you get?

[Both options will give him strong feelings, so either way Belle is screwed, oops.

He still winks at her.]
The cold and I are old, old friends.
servesthehuman: (o: hello hello baby you called)

[personal profile] servesthehuman 2013-10-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm the executive assistant for a large corporation back home, [Owen says, adjusting his glasses as he talks.] So no, not Santa.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He's going to ignore the first part. He did end up liking the clothes in the end, but that doesn't make up for all the other things they made him try out.

He chuckles when she mentions his costume.]
That was my though, good to know you agree. I was about to go for the sheet ghost, but then saw this one... the choice was obvious, wasn't it?
lethechained: (Could be worse.)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-10-28 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[You'd think she'd have sleuthed it out by now. Clearly she needs assistance.]

[She shakes her head.]
I don't think you did, either. And-- don't worry, I don't mind you asking. I've been here for... almost a year now, by Asgard's time.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Jack Frost, Spirit of Winter and Guardian of Fun-- [He gives a very exaggerated bow, totally on purpose. Don't take him seriously, Robb.] --always happy to hear someone appreciate a good cold home.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes. And proud of it, thank you.

More laughing over here, he saw that wobbling! Let's see how much more it takes. Good blondie, keep being funny.]


Are you sure? Because you sure make it look like you are.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-10-28 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack stares at Kaworu, which is pretty much a standard reaction by now when it comes to dealing with the angel.]

There has to be something. You didn't spend all your days locked in a white, silent room, did you? [That sounds boring as hell.]
