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! ]

How is it cheating? Someone can throw a sheet with some holes over themselves and it'd be a costume.

[It gets a surprised little squeak from him, but he doesn't pull away, laughing quietly once he's over the surprise of the sudden touch.

He is having a total 'dammit' moment on the answer, though, and after several moments' thought he exhales with a small shake of his head. He knows it's off but he's gotten mentally snagged on the concept.]


--all that comes to mind's tides but I know those don't die, I think that's about as close as I'm getting right now.

[If he were the type to roll his eyes, he would certainly do that now. But he refrains, and instead settles Thor with a deadpan expression.]

[that was a very touching speech. really.

she reaches out and boops his nose. untouchable by death indeed.
]

Death is very patient, Tom Riddle. It will come for you in the end, have no fear.

You do not belong in this world, and your death here is not truly death. You fall here and I will raise you, because your souls do not belong. There is nothing further to understand. If we fall, you needn't care what happens, because you will be dead.

If you seek knowledge, try the library.

[She smiles bright as she touches the flowers.] You know, Mrs. Sigyn, I never really got to meet you properly before now, but I am glad I'm really getting to talk to you! [She's nearly tempted to hug her.]

I'm glad for that. I would miss flowers terribly so.

[Well, that saves demeaning herself by leaning forward and showing the tops of her breasts to the native over there. Santana has no problem with it, but there's an annoying Kurt-and-Rachel-sounding voice in her head that reminds her that maybe she shouldn't be doing stuff like that anymore. At least, without good reason. Being handed a beer is a good reason, because it means she can get another that way.

Right?

Either way, she takes it and looks at the lid.]
Twist off or bottle opener? [Working in the bar for the time she did at least did help her be less of a teenager-with-alcohol when it comes to this stuff. See, Kurt-and-Rachel voice, she did benefit from the experience.]

And hi, I'm Santana. And don't worry, I'm not that under twenty-one. [In the event that her second opinion suddenly decided to care.]

RAIN

[Probably wrong, but he was surprised the guy was actually giving him a riddle and not like, kicking him in the face.]

[He has a bad habit of assuming that. Still, he will be back later armed with super important knowledge and more than a little confusion. It's not Hel's relation to her mother that makes him headtilt.]

...okay, not surprised that you and Fenrir and Jormungand would be siblings, but I would honestly not have guessed Loki and Sigyn. Probably a good thing I didn't try to. [See he totally learned interesting things today.]

A riddle. Although I've heard secret has been accepted by some.

[Blue skin counts and skin! And naturally Inigo thinks it's another costume - some of them have been pretty realistic, and Demona fits right in.

That sigh catches his attention. This looks like a chance that shouldn't be passed up, so Inigo sidles on over.]


How can such a pretty lady be so down? Cheer up! Smile!

[Stiles found the morbid looking goddess, head cocked to the side as he came up to her. The question was asked and he tried to remember what he knew of Norse mythology.]

LOKI DAD

FENRIR BROTHER

JORMA JORMNU SNAKE GUY BROTHER


[There was a quiet moment, then he added.]

ERICA ISAAC ARE YOURS TOO

DONT KNOW HOW THAT WORKS

[There's a small fox that slips up in the chair and gives Odin an expectant look. Figure it out, head-dude. He has no hands.]

QUESTION?

[Be proud of him, Odin. He can make words with fire.]

Day 338

[You're damn right Hawkeye would show up to a party. And, in his usual haphazard style, he's dressed in about the most makeshift Superman costume you could think of.

Martini in one hand, he struts around the courtyard, chatting with people and flirting with some of the Native ladies.]


Day 339

[Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and straw cowboy hat, Hawkeye is following his nose, which has picked up the heavenly aroma of spareribs from Adam's Ribs in Chicago. Okay, so they're probably magically created, but they smell exactly the same, and as long as they taste the same, he doesn't really care.

When he sinks his teeth into a rib, he makes a few practically pornographic noises and eats in bliss as the musicians strike up a big band tune.]


Day 340

[On this day, Hawkeye's just a bit more somber. Whatever the ceremonial significance the day held, he can respect the sentiment. In fact, he puts up a few ribbons himself. A handful for the boys back in Korea who didn't make it home, and one with a note attached, addressed to Henry Blake.]

Henry,

This place certainly can't be heaven. You're not here.

You were a good man, and I'm sorry you never made it home to kiss your wife. I'll make it up to her when I get back to the States. I'm sure it's what you wanted.

I miss you, my friend.

Hawkeye

[While Stiles would really like to dunk someone - like, really, he couldn't throw at the moment, so he sat down by the god's feet and waited for his question.]
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-10-11 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Hi, most intimidating god. He's not sitting, just sort of lingering close with his hands tucked into his pockets to try to prevent any nervous fidgeting. It is going to be very dubiously successful.]

...this, um. This isn't another we need to know how to play for, is it?

[He nods toward the board, giving it a worried little frown.]
yourhatred: (what i've done)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2013-10-11 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[A pause.] ...Very well.

[He's never made an offering to a god before, but he's at least visited shrines. He may be able to think of something appropriate.

Then, almost as if it's an afterthought:]


Loki, Sigyn - your parents. Jormagund and Fenrir - your siblings. I haven't been here long, but I recognize the importance of family. I hope you keep close with yours.
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-11 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[The cookies smell good and yes, they warrant an extra sniff as he looks at them, but he sits down and politely waits for his question.

What is with the pretty as hell goddesses around here? He couldn't taaaaaake it.]

[ He has all the patience in the world to wait for her to calm herself ( though his attention does wander, just a little; he's called air-headed for a reason ). ]

There are fifteen gods in Asgard right now for the first time in several thousand years. Can you name at least ten of them?
teenyoda: (Fox - 2)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-11 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Stiles hasn't met either Loki (or any of the gods, really), so he's just sort of looking at the pair of them and wondering what's up. What's up, Lokis? Can he get a question?

PUHLEEZEE?]
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-10-11 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Delivering it personally, I guess.

[He smiles slightly at that, ruffling Henry's hair as he leans against him.]

So're you just taking a break? Watching for a bit?

[His head tipped again to the other side, looking like a confused little thing for a moment as he looked the guy over. Gods were... old. He knew that. But he hadn't heard of this one and had no clue about what he may or may not be related to. His tail swishes a little behind him, a frustrated noise leaving him as he muddles over an answer.]

3289

BUT YOU DONT LOOK A DAY OVER 25


[His tail swished more as he looked up at Honir, knowing he was probably way off, but... hey, he'd tried. And he bet that fur looked pretty soft right now, didn't it, Honir. It should. Scott had given him a bath and brushed him out until he was all fluffy and glossy.]

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Breathe, ok. In order of gods she liked.]

Ran, Freyr, Loki... Loki, Sigyn, Ummm, just met a Mimir, Odin, Baldr, Heimdall, Hel, Fenrir

[Yeah, it said something that a few of them were listed after the god she'd just met today. She decided to go with eleven too, since two Lokis was sort of cheating in her book.]
madcuriosity: (How peculiar!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-11 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
That riddle has many answers. It could be a tree, but it could also be a bell. I think someone once said a telephone but I don't know that is. What is the answer you intend?
