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! ]

OVERFLOW LOG

[She settled herself down and quietly rested there, waiting for her turn, a relatively calm look on her face.]

Time to see if I'm good with riddles too.

[personal profile] leidenschaft 2013-10-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
So we're utterly powerless here, then? With no method of gaining what mutations we had?
Edited 2013-10-11 04:06 (UTC)
samantha_grey: (Riiight)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
... is the game the riddle then?

[Said by someone looking down at the board. Chess wasn't an unheard of pastime back home, when it was just she and mom.

Of course, her mom was terrible at chess...]
failassassin: (oh that's how to cripple the TARDIS?)

[personal profile] failassassin 2013-10-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
He can't go anywhere without causing a mess, [Turlough said, with a frown and a siiiiigh.]
samantha_grey: (Nervous)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She's chewing on something from his booth.

It might have still been wriggling. She swallows and coughs once into her hand.]


Making the rounds. You've got a question, right?

[Does she look just slightly nervous? Did it have anything to do with naming the weapon she was trying to prepare after the guy who was prophesied to kill the Fenris wolf in the old myths of Ragnarok back home?

Or was it just because you might eat her?]
samantha_grey: (Uhhh)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
That would be nice, yes. [She's keeping a neutral tone. This one makes her almost as nervous as Fenrir as a rule.]
necrowmantic: (Default)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Henry doesn't seem to mind, and just laughs.]

All I'm learning is that smart people really like riddles! And you've got the house full of clever folk, right? I guess that would follow! I hope your guys don't disappoint ya.

[Oh yeah, an answer.]

...Some kind of amnesia? Or at least forgetting something. 'Cause once you know you've forgotten something it stops being forgotten, right?
firstbeliever: (Apprehensive Smile)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks up at the guy who's being a party-pooper and not dressing up as anything. Woooow he's tall. Like Santa and the Easter Bunny. But then suddenly Soushi's not so tall anymore because he's crouching down next to him.]

Thanks. [Jamie nods.] I did.
samantha_grey: (Fright)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh holy hell. He's trying to hug her. Holy fucking... fuckity fuck fuck... he's and he's a god... and doesn't he realize that she has a rep for ...

...she's going to get around to saying something in a minute Honir. For the moment, she's kind of lost.]
samantha_grey: (Legitimately Happy)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well... son of a bitch. I seriously didn't expect to see you this far inland.

[She looks legitimately pleased.]

You been alright?
samantha_grey: (Default)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
... [She actually had been reading up on you guys from the library, before they'd even opened it up to the public in the back stacks. Sneaky little git that she is. So, this one was a bit more something she knew.]

Your father is Loki, your mother Sigyn. Jormungand and Fenrir are your brothers.
nukeoleptic: PLEASE let me know if you know who the artist is :D (pic#2292320)

[personal profile] nukeoleptic 2013-10-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her shoulders shake a little in amusement. ]

Well, you have now! I'm Jade, by the way. Hi.
samantha_grey: (Uhhh)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods to him before sitting down across. There's a studious look on her face as she does so. Odin makes her nervous. After all, it's not like the two haven't used each other in the past, or that she trusts him, or that he trusts any of them.

But still, it's a festival, and she'd really like to get a question. Fourth level powers were great for research, but she really wanted a question.]

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, it depends what you believe. The gods could've rigged the whole show just to scare people off. Back them into enough of a corner and we'll find out what's true, either way.
nukeoleptic: (pic#2292211)

[personal profile] nukeoleptic 2013-10-11 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
No, um -- sometimes people end up getting hit with little curses here. It should be over in a few days. [ Her expression is grateful, though. ] I thiiiink my shirt should be okay.
samantha_grey: (Riiight)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[One ball. One donation. One hurl. One miss and a smirk. Ok, she wasn't that good at hitting. that's probably why her egg bombs were meant to strike round someone, not on their face.

Maybe she'd had a drink or two too by now.]


Now then... you have questions, yes?
samantha_grey: (Uhhh)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
You... are looking better than the last time I saw you.

[Less like a screaming, screeching banshee on a rampage.]

So... riddles?
leidenschaft: (pic#5863757)

[personal profile] leidenschaft 2013-10-11 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[he looks at him for a long, long time, and finally he says,] No, you're not afraid of me. Angry, yes. Desperate, maybe. But not afraid.

Which means - there's something else you're not telling me.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Pyro just looks back, then stares in confusion.]

Okay, you lost me. Weren't we past the whole fighting thing and onto getting out of here?
samantha_grey: (Oh?)

The Both because she needs to get tortured a little.

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Samantha is, currently, ridiculously uncomfortable, looking from one to the other. Is she sure it's worth it to ask the question of these two? They can read minds, after all...]
badwolf: (✿ 087)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-11 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Might have me with the next one if it's harder though.
leidenschaft: (pic#5863766)

[personal profile] leidenschaft 2013-10-11 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[he presses his lips in a thin line; he'll do that kind of interrogation later.] How often do people die here? What attempts have been made to get out?
badwolf: (✿ 215)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Would you prefer her to be a little shit to you Odin, cause she can. ]

All right. [ Patience, is one thing she doesn't have a lot of. Especially for him. But let's see how this goes. ] What is it?
badwolf: (✿ 064)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-11 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but siblings are sort of defaulted to it. Finding them personable.

...D'you mind-- Are you older or younger?

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on how reckless they are, or how bad the attack is. The locals die for good, but we've got a reset button thanks to the gods. As long as they've got a hold on us, we'll keep coming back.

[Chew on that for awhile, because it's damn creepy, but also rather freeing. Especially when coupled with his level of regeneration.]

And how do we even start looking for a way out? My one line on it is a cranky nutjob who can barely stand me, and everything else - it's a different dimension. Even the people who actually do hop between dimensions as a job can't figure it out. It all comes back to the gods.
