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! ]

Yeah. I know.

Win what?

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-11-05 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The right to exist without being hunted down. Registered. Cured. It's not much to ask, is it?
faceofbeau: ({♡} Mischief)

[personal profile] faceofbeau 2013-11-05 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a glint to his eye when she gives the meaning, and he grins, unable to resist.] If I were a theistic man, I'd have to say I agreed with your name. As I'm not, I'll just stick with the belief that beauty like this doesn't come along very often. [Then he winks, and offers.] I don't suppose you would mind a bit of company, would you?
faceofbeau: ({♡} Mischief)

[personal profile] faceofbeau 2013-11-05 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that answers that. Company and smiles it is, and perhaps some distraction from the reason for their encounter today. He nods a bit, gesturing again.] I remember passing a booth to the left up here, that smelled pretty good. Who knows what they'll have, but since when has unfamiliarity been much of a deterrent? It's half the adventure, isn't it?
lethechained: (Minute)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-11-05 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her own does, too - more than it already did - but she forces it to buoy back up into a smile, albeit a wry one.]

Don't be. I've heard plenty of good ones, too. [Like that somehow makes it better.]
lethechained: (halfsmile)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-11-05 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, it's in her nature to try to help, no matter how trivial the problem.]

I have faith in you.
faceofbeau: ({♡} Are you thinking what I'm thinking)

[personal profile] faceofbeau 2013-11-05 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to hear it. [And then, there's nothing but a cheeky grin for Ianto. He's taken his time, for now, to mourn, but Ianto's here now, and there are much better ways to pass the time than continue to brood. For now, the memories and pain are put aside, boxed up and archived, like so many other things he's put aside during his life.] So what exactly's on the books? We've got a whole festival to explore, and- well, I could think of a few starters.

[Although, judging by the look in Jack's eyes, if it's left up to him, the festival might not stay so innocent.]

[Ninja boy germs. He's grinning at her still, sinking back into his seat when she starts eating, from then on, he's pretty chilled out about eating the rest of his dinner.]

I know right?

Would be good to come here again-- you know, if all this is still here tomorrow or whatever?
comeonthensexy: (→122)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-11-05 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Uh.

Give him a moment. ]

Oh, yes, that's right, you're Japanese. Really, it's got nothing to do with you being... lowly. There's just no-- I don't need them.
comeonthensexy: (→013)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2013-11-05 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

And what's his plan? How will he make that happen?

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-11-05 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
How should I know? I joined them an hour and a half before I got here. I'm working on one vision here, and it didn't give me much.
kuramaless: (what do you mean I can't fly)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-11-05 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He isn't. He isn't scared of anything. Not a thing.

His eyes flick up to those marbles hanging around them, letting them widen in shock because-- seriously. What is he gonna do now? He tries to stop then-- which is when he starts sliding around all over the ice.]


What-- yeah!
windbreak: (lighten the atmosphere)

[personal profile] windbreak 2013-11-05 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what it looks like.

[Yosuke looks from Kanji back to Naoto; he caught that sigh of hers, and for that matter Kanji doesn't seem all that fired up about the situation compared to just a minute ago. It's pretty heavy stuff to think about, that's hard to deny...

Well, he can't fix everything that sucks about this situation just by existing in the vicinity of it (unlike, he thinks, certain people), but he can try to do something. He waves one of his hands airily.]
But man, they pull us all out of our homes trying to make out that we're special, only to basically throw us right back into the daily grind? What kind of incentive is that!?
doomhoops: (Mandibles? Really?)

[personal profile] doomhoops 2013-11-05 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a half-smirk that maybe thinks that was funny but also eff u he ain't laughing. ] Probably makes some people feel better.

[ Some people. Not him. You don't talk to dead people. They're dead. There's a stretch of pause at the comment and Alex is considering. Pyro, for the most part, seems relatively okay, but then there's the Brotherhood shit. And it makes him want to punch him some. ]

War's still war. Nothing makes it better. [ It's frank and sour. The war Shaw was waging wasn't any different from this one. ] It wasn't ours, it was Erik's.
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-11-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I should certainly hope so!

[Nope, it doesn't. Now she's definitely going to wonder about you, Namine.]
lethechained: (Could be worse.)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-11-05 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[The worst kind-- She relaxes when he does - or at least becomes more so.]

Mmhm. I mean - I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't, but.... [She spares a brief, comfortable enough glance around.] It would be nice.

lethechained: (b-blush)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-11-05 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Naminé is probably a pretty viable person to wonder about, that's for sure.]

Mmhm. I'm really glad I can say that, to tell the truth. [It wasn't always the case.]
cyan_maid: (Some light piano)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2013-11-05 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, nobody as nice as Namine should have to go through bad things. It is a sad state of affairs.]

Mm-hmmmm.

[She'd go on, but again, not really the time to pry.]
kuramaless: (Default)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-11-05 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ask the gods?

Which one d'ya think would know stuff about 'er?
kuramaless: (ramenramenramen)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-11-05 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Naruto's eyes flick up for a moment, and then back down again - toward the plate. That's a cookie, and-- it's delicious.]

Mnf-- yeah I knew that...

So er... cookies.
lethechained: (Olderne! Curly hair <:)

[personal profile] lethechained 2013-11-05 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Try telling her that--]

I... do hope you have, too. [Gotta check, gosh.]
kuramaless: (thinking about something?)

[personal profile] kuramaless 2013-11-05 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[No it's not! It's good to see her relaxed.]

I guess maybe it won't be here tomorrow...

[The thought is actually pretty disappointing.]

Kinda sad it ain't here all the time.
zen_en_vert: (can't help but scurry)

[personal profile] zen_en_vert 2013-11-05 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts.

People aren't usually brave enough. Except for Tony- whom he likes so much for just that reason.]


I'm a lousy customer. I drink sodas.
vapidfloozy: (Default)

[personal profile] vapidfloozy 2013-11-05 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he's off, to go flirt with every girl.]
