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! ]

[ Silently, he passes over the ribbon, before murmuring: ]

I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor.
asgardsverse: pb: roger garth (through the window)

[personal profile] asgardsverse 2013-10-11 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles quietly. ]

The picture is actually my fee for the ribbon.
asgardsverse: pb: roger garth (through the window)

[personal profile] asgardsverse 2013-10-11 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He leans back, expression sympathetic and apologetic. ] Ah - yes. You are one of my travelers, actually. I linked my soul with yours when you arrived.

If you're still offering, sure.

[ Bring it on, Thundercrack. ]

[personal profile] asgardsverse 2013-10-11 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles under his breath. ]

I just request you draw me a picture of something you love. [ Indicating the paper and colored pencils on the table. ]

[ Good. Go find one of the Doctors if you want an interesting game of chess. Or even just an answer to it. ]

...Water?
badwolf: (✿ 021)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-11 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure how I did, but it definitely happened. [ Beaming. ] He's creepin' around like a wolf, too. Thinks he's so impressive.

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-11 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[And he laughs. Some art to hang on your fridge, Freyr.]

Hee, thanks! I'll try my best!

[Inara glances back at her instrument for a moment and then once again turns her attention to the boy.]

It's called a Guzheng, it's a Chinese plucked zither. I've been told that it sounds like a cat. Do you think so?

day 339 & 340

[personal profile] boutant 2013-10-11 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
339:

[ Ariadne is not, strictly speaking, French. But France is where she's going to school, and so the food she's drawn to after downing some good old-fashioned comfort food is also French. There's crème brûlée, éclairs, crêpes with various filling, baguettes, croissants, escargot, gougère, beef bourguignon, and numerous other dishes. She doesn't like some of them, but it's not stopping her from attempting to collect as many of the breads and pastries as she can to bring back to Freyr House. ]

340:
[ This is a dream, she reminds herself. This is a dream and there is no reason to write messages, no reason to feel for the people crying. She can't help it, though; either the pull to write or the urge to comfort some of the others around here. She doesn't know them, though, and so she keeps to herself, scrawling out a few messages. They aren't meant for those at home that she misses; they're meant for those at home that can help her.

When she ends up with photographs of herself with Cobb, Arthur, and Eames, she stares down at them and, horror-stricken, wonders if she's just made a terrible mistake. ]

[ And Honir just sucks all that energy up, smiling brilliantly still when he finally pulls away. ]

You, Miss Ril, are a professional. The world could learn a lot from you.
necrowmantic: (06)

[personal profile] necrowmantic 2013-10-11 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
What's hard about playing with the dead all day? I'd do that for fun!
flightofdeath: (mudblood registration commission)

[personal profile] flightofdeath 2013-10-11 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Could you explain how it works to me? I have not yet received a proper explanation, and I am most interested.

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-10-11 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He is totally fine with moving on, Thor can put things together himself. Probably. He's pretty sure.

At least the question's easy and the answer's quick enough.]


C, right? ...actually that reminds me of something else, are we allowed to ask you one too? [Ryan, no, don't look so excited over cheesy shit. Just don't.]
companioning: shindig (pretty smile)

[personal profile] companioning 2013-10-11 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Inara smiles, turning to take in her young friend's appearance.]

As do you. You make a lovely faerie, Alice. [And she truly did. Alice was as always, absolutely adorable.]

I've read faerie stories a long time ago, but I don't believe I've heard of the seelie and unseelie. Perhaps you'd tell me the legends surrounding them?
firstbeliever: (Hey What Was That For?)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no. But how many tries are you going to give someone?

[Looks down at the board again, choosing a different first move.] Check.
asgardsflight: (never use another recipe)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Top marks!

[ He reaches excitedly over to tie the ribbon for him, but reconsiders halfway when he thinks maybe Voldemort wouldn't like that very much. His lips purse. ]

Um. Here?

[ He offers it in his hand instead. ]
boutant: ([shock] oh...)

[personal profile] boutant 2013-10-11 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's very, very unlike what she had expected. It's hard to comprehend, the man -- god -- in front of her and the images in her head. It's harder still to comprehend when she tries to think of it in terms of the dream that this has to be. ]

I... see. [ There's a quick look down, as if she'll be able to see some sort of connection. ] So you're... Freyr? [ She really hopes she pronounced that correctly. ]
samantha_grey: (Sad Smile)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She smirked and shrugged, starting to sketch something. It was on the crude side, but it looked like an old, burly man with thick ropy muscles and clad in simple robes, carrying a flame.]

Fair enough. I'm still singing for you when you're done with my face.
flightofdeath: (voldemort was here)

[personal profile] flightofdeath 2013-10-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Very well.

[Yep, Voldemort definitely hates this guy. And so he moves to start drawing.

When he's finished, he produces an image of a large snake with long fangs dripping some sort of venom. It's clear Voldemort hasn't had much practice drawing, and yet it's still fairly detailed - he has drawn each individual scale and done his best at shading (and there is a lot of it, as the place this snake is in is meant to be dark). If Freyr bothers to look at his face, it's not exactly amused.]
averagemedium: (no break no relief)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-10-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, that's not too bad then.

[He hums thoughtfully under his breath as he takes up a couple colored pencils and starts to draw-- he's not terribly proficient, but at least decent enough to tell what it is, and the subject's not too complicated.

It'll take just a bit to finish since he's trying not to rush, but it's identifiable pretty early on as a cemetery with a bunch of little stones surrounding a tree; as soon as that bit's done he picks a couple of brighter colors, making sure each one of those little stones has something to decorate it. A few remain bare but have stick-figure people standing over them, and the rest have flowers or ribbons-- and the tree's similarly covered in them. Only when each stone's been added to does he set the pencils down and slide the page back over.]
samantha_grey: (Determined)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, that'll work.

[That she could do. She had a decent tolerance, after all. She hadn't won that drinking contest way back when, but she hadn't gotten knocked out first. She keeps it going and barely manages the whole thing in two goes.]

Trying to get us drunk are we?
asgardsflight: (makes the food taste dandy)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ A native child walks by before Honir notices Rose, and he leans over the booth to smile brightly down at him, asking his name and giving him treats. Some of this generation wouldn't even know his old place, it's been so long, but the god of travel adores them all the same.

He sends him off with a kiss on his cheek and when he sits back, he notices Rose off to the side. It was nice when Ryan did it earlier, so Honir grins and holds up his hand, wiggling his fingers by way of greeting. Not the most traditional god in the city, for all that he's one of its first. ]
asgardsshadow: (learning the don'ts of fire prevention)

[personal profile] asgardsshadow 2013-10-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, I could not.

Your souls are tied to ours, and it makes you easy to ferret out. That is all you need understand of it.

[The corner of his mouth purses and he crosses his arms.]

You know, they always say that. You can pretty much put all of your great-aunt Edna's inheritance money on it that they're gonna say that. But have they ever stopped to think that they might actually be talking to the leader? The Man?
