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! ]

[she curtseys at the eyerake, teasing, which shows that the undershift of her dress is actually extremely wide pants. it's still sophie, after all. but she might also have blushed just a little.]

I think 'adorable' is the more appropriate word.

Did you get 'persuaded' into it? I think I was accosted by a half-dozen girls to do my hair.

Who says a lake monster can't look like a swamp monster? Maybe a swamp became a lake, or a lake a swamp. Couldn't a water monster look as it pleased? [She was genuinely curious if it could only be one or the other.

At his mentioning that she was one of the faeries in question, her eyes widened and she suddenly blushed.

Whatever did you write about me!

[His tail swished as he looked at the digital, nope, too blurry. However as soon as Jamie came closer, Ritsuka stepped back, not liking his personal space invaded.]

Taking candid photos.

[Hel house is best house okay. Henry just siiighs at the question.]

I've TRIED! But I want real ones, and neither cat or mouseears would help, and I even asked Thor because he gave me chickens once and- no one feels like mutating Henry just a tiny bit.

...What about you?
asgardswisdom: (and the end is near)

[personal profile] asgardswisdom 2013-10-10 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He gives a non-committal hum. Too right, he's not exactly thrilled, but alas. ]

It's unconventional, to say the very least. Honir insisted.
firstbeliever: (I Don't Know Guys)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-10 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sshhh let him hold on a bit more. Finally Jamie will pull back.]

I'm okay. I thought you could use one, that's all. [Because when was the last time someone hugged Odin?]

Mmm. Antedis Prime. [Ril says it softly, drawing up a beer.] In the Market district on a week-end, people pour into its center and you can smell davit bird and spices in the air. There's motion everywhere and the press of people is constant. Bright colors flag out stalls with veges, meats, trinkets, but Palis and my favorite one was the one with the flaky pies. If we won at catching davit birds, we'd sell at least one for a dozen finger pies. They's be a surprise for mum. Some were meat, some were madrit ftuit, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

[She laughed softly.]

Palis once traded his bird for ground kafe--a Winter season present for me. Kafe is still my favorite drink, though I think it does tie with tea.

[Whatever else Yosuke might have been expecting when he spotted that tall stranger heading his way with bundles of fabric in his arms, a burial hadn't really been near the top of the list. It takes him a yelp and a few moments of struggling before he manages to come up for air.]

H-Hey, this is totally a costume! [He tries to raise a hand in order to point out his ears, which achieves very little except getting his arms even more tangled up in the cloth.] Headphones! See? [Sure, they might have been knocked a little askew just now - and sure, he wears them pretty much every day - but they're there, dammit! It's better than nothing!

He looks down at the expanse of white cloth, part of which is now trailing on the ground.]
I mean, what am I even supposed to be? A table?
asgardswisdom: (and the world's a stage)

[personal profile] asgardswisdom 2013-10-10 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He takes a good, long drink at the chicken hands. If he were the type to sigh - ]

If my son won't do it, what do you think the odds are I will?
madcuriosity: (Hee this is wonderful)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-10 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She grinned at the mention of the god of travel.] I can't say I'm too surprised. He's wonderful.

[Maybe they could keep him and get rid of Thor. I mean, no one would miss him at all. But she didn't tell the Allfather that.]

So then is this your "riddle?" A chess game?
necrowmantic: (30)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-10 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
...really really good?

[He can hope.]
asgardswisdom: (thank everybody)

[personal profile] asgardswisdom 2013-10-10 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ He stares at the boy for a moment before looking skyward and letting out a soft huff. Of course. ]

What nonsense has Honir been spouting this time?

[ It's not said meanly. By all accounts, it should be, but Odin knows his kin. ]
firstbeliever: (I Don't Know Guys)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-10 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Obviously Odin knows Honir pretty well if he can guess that it was him.]

He said that the Queen's been sick for forty years.

[Ril has already put her notes on and caught sight of Jamie. Home was far away and there was precious little in the way of comfort for it. Still in her brightly colored fall Antedan dress, her wings still on, she came up behind Jamie (made sure to make enough noise so he knew she was there), and wrapped her arms around him.]

I'd like to think that the notes reach them, or at least the comfort of them does.

asgardswisdom: (take a bow)

[personal profile] asgardswisdom 2013-10-10 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's another vague hum and the slightest quirk to his lips, almost a smirk. Everyone loves Honir, it's a Thing. ]

Not this time. Mimir and I have been playing the same match for a few hundred years. I let him take the board for this one.

[ As he says it, one of the pieces shifts, untouched - just lifts and settles back into its place, as though the one holding it reconsidered at the last moment. Odin eyes it with a faint smile before taking another drink. ]
sheloves: (Default)

[personal profile] sheloves 2013-10-10 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
[And here she is, be-winged and in in folds and streams of her own planet's religious robes. There are rusts and blues and bits of greens and softer browns. The wings she'd done by hand and the wicker frame is hidden the a multitude of carefully placed feathers. She catches sight of him two seconds before he snags her, moving with him easily and with a laugh.]

Hello, you. [And there she is, tucked against his arm.] Does this count as a proper costume?
needsnoheadsman: ([ farewell ])

day 339-340, anywhere, ota

[personal profile] needsnoheadsman 2013-10-10 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[day 339]

[For the first time since, well, everything happened, Robb does not look like he'd rather be elsewhere. In fact, he looks like he'd rather stay here, and why not? This is the closest this city could come to home--there are lemon cakes, beef and bacon pies, stews and wines and foods he thought he'd never taste again, and foods he didn't even know about.

Someone starts up a song, and he relaxes a little. Maybe it's the wine that he's had, but he hums along: A bear there was, a bear, a bear, all black and brown and covered with hair! He sticks around for a few more songs, tells stories about Winterfell and the North and as much history as he can remember, and generally has a good time.

Then the drums start, a disturbingly familiar beat dragging him out of his thoughts, and he freezes in place. Oh, gods, he thinks.

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?]


Forgive me--I have to go. [He hurries away, suddenly not so keen on eating anymore.]

[day 339]

[There are several letters and ribbons tied to the oak tree, by his hand. And by several I mean they're all addressed to his entire family, and his wife, and some of his bannermen as well. The lengths of the letters and the words he uses differ from each one, but they all have this in common: boiled down to their basic meaning, they all mean I'm sorry.

One, in particular, stands out:]


Arya,

I'm sorry I wasn't able to come for you and Sansa in Westeros. I couldn't save our father, nor was I able to save either of you when that was why I marched south in the first place. There are far too many things that I regret, and too little space for them on this page, but that is one of them.

I miss you, but I don't want to see you in the midst of this war. I want you safe, far away from all this. And if that means I have to stay here, then so be it.

Be safe. Mayhaps we'll see one another again, hopefully not while at war.
asgardswisdom: (you're gonna do it again)

[personal profile] asgardswisdom 2013-10-10 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not so much. ]

You haven't been doing terribly well with this game.
sheloves: (time to be alive)

[personal profile] sheloves 2013-10-10 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Ril settled with obvious delight to watch them both and found herself humming along with them anyway. It had been ages since she'd sung anything, really. She'd missed it. But there these two were and it really was lovely, neither were at all terrible and she rather enjoyed the display, silly as it was. When that ended, she was all smiles and clapping.]

Teach us a song, then? I'd like to sing with, if you like?
necrowmantic: (I'm a single flashing curse)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-10 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! You guys ask some pretty tough questions!
needsnoheadsman: ([ confused ])

[personal profile] needsnoheadsman 2013-10-10 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
[why are you so drunk

he is embarrassed on your behalf, so very embarrassed

Robb is just going to. Back away. Very slowly. He was going to ask for a riddle but apparently the god who happens to be sharing his face is a little too busy flirting with native ladies and getting completely shitfaced.]

[ Kaworu has never tasted wine, but this sure is a good opportunity to try it. He has heard much about it, but unfortunately no one ever allowed him to have some (he is 16 after all).

He has been once again rejected by the native, and the angel sighs lightly. He doesn't really understand why he can't have some. Tugging at his fake wings that felt like they were falling, the fake vampire decides to move along.

That's when he passes by Morgana, watching her drink for a moment ]


What does it taste like?

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-10 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ watching someone eat like that so happily, makes Kaworu smile. He comes closer to Leeloo, nodding softly at her ]

The food is quite good, isn't it?

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-10 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kaworu remembers Rapunzel from the network, and so why not talk a bit? he doesn't peer over her shoulder to see what he is writing, but he does speak softly so she will notice him ]

Hello.

[ Shinji is a cat and Kaworu is a vampire.

The moment the angel spots Shinji, he walks closer to him, smiling wide. he is glad Shinji decided to come after all that happened. And he is glad he is dressing up as well; Kaworu doesn't really understand why people enjoy this sort of thing, but he was told lilim do and he wants the other pilot to enjoy himself ]


Hello, Shinji-kun. You look nice.
