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! ]

Oh. That's...curious. I guess all this, us getting powers, that must seem pretty...new for you then.

[And yup, that question in pretty much inevitable. At least after all this time here in Asgard, she is somewhat more comfortable talking about it.]

As for my power back home, no. I got a different one when I arrived.

[ Salutes! ]

I won't disappoint.

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-29 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
She is.

[ He's still really, really happy about that. ]

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-29 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it counts some, at least. Words are rubbish a lot of the time, anyway. Definitely counts.
comeonthensexy: (→215)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-29 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He snorts quietly. ]

Well. If anyone could make it.
saving_sound: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] saving_sound 2013-10-29 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
E-ehh... Rubbish?

[ He leans over to bop her nose. ]

That's the way to do it.

[Kisses, she liked kisses. An awful lot. It means Six gets what he's after and Eight's words are a touch muffled. Something about being careful.]

Had no idea, it hit this hard. [Her voice came out in a sigh, her lips still against Six's.] Never used to, mn.

[Ril let out a bright laugh and caught his finger.]

I've had enough practice at it, me. Can't go through pre-Flight without knowing that like it was engraved into your eyeballs.

[ He frowns. ]

I didn't get a replacement Oswin.
comeonthensexy: (→179)

He needs an adult.

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-29 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ahaha nope stepping away. ]

I don't think it'd make it go faster or slower.

--or maybe slower! But definitely not faster!
comeonthensexy: (→230)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-10-29 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Not... Not exactly. It's because--

[ How does he word it...? ]

Because... Because it's your future. Knowing your future is... tricky.
hadbadays: (→30)

[personal profile] hadbadays 2013-10-29 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
This.

[ He raises the fish 'n' chips in his hands. ]

You can make it here too, with the right food, but it's not really the same.
hadbadays: (→11)

[personal profile] hadbadays 2013-10-29 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually no. More difficult to walk around that way.

Funny you can't have one without the other.

Just thought I'd ask.

[ him and everyone else. can't hurt living with someone so scary. she even does her own dishes! ]

They'd be lucky to have you.

[ she resumes eating. ]

I can't blame you for wanting to avoid it. You wouldn't believe the type of things I put up with at work. Maybe it's your chance now to experience whatever you wanted to try.

I'm sure you have it worse than I would, especially in a bar setting.

[His last truly unbidden, non-army provoked incident was over a girl working in the factory with him. He's seen first hand how women can be treated in an environment like that, and she's surrounded by alcohol.

On the other hand, he bets she doesn't let them get away with it twice.]


Mostly I keep hoping for a research position, but it seems like that isn't going to happen.

Yeah. They can't always convey everything we want.

[ kdfjdg tugging at it. ]

Oi, let it go.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-29 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Write a message, tie it to a ribbon, tie the ribbon to the tree. Or just put a name, whatever.

[He's being more dismissive than usual because he's rather embarrassed to be doing this at all.]

Whatever gets rid of the demons, right? Even if it's all in your head.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-29 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what it sounded like to me. Wanna clear it up?

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-29 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No, no. [His disgust is very genuine.] Just wondering if he was equal opportunity in his harem.
proudofwhatiam: (under consideration)

[personal profile] proudofwhatiam 2013-10-29 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Just arrived. Did I miss some chaos?
proudofwhatiam: (good show)

[personal profile] proudofwhatiam 2013-10-29 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the sense I've gotten, too. And I've been in the library a lot--I'd hate to burn the place down!
