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 knows you, as well, dream maker. For you, she has bundle of wildflowers, their blossoms a color that should remind him of his dream sand.]

Is it the riddle you wish to hear?

[She nods, acknowledging Samantha's observation.] Anyone would look better than the state I was in.

[Flowers? Cookies? She offers the plate with a tilt of her head, then speaks the riddle.]

I cannot be destroyed or created,
but restrict as easily as I set free;
My value is known to all I touch,
yet with no riches can I be bought;
Though time alters me with its passing,
in essence I live on unchanged.
What am I?

[His ears perked and he suddenly looked up at the boy he had taken the photo of. Did he...? But... His ears pressed back. Did he mean it in a different way? He had to. Still... Ritsuka swallowed and gave a cautious nod.]

Um... yeah... it's going pretty well so far, actually. Lots of interesting costumes.

[ Kaworu rises his head, when he hears the familiar voice, smiling back at Harry. He watches the other for a moment before he nods softly as a greeting ]

Hello, Harry. How are you?
5thchild: (pic#6119246)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-11 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ that was a very curious reaction.

Kaworu's smile doesn't leave his lips and he nods softly ]
I think so as well. It looks like people are having a lot of fun, too.

Is something wrong? [ he is asking because of the way Ritsuka reacted to that question ]
etoaktagamat: (normal: oooooooh)

[personal profile] etoaktagamat 2013-10-11 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
No. I am from no one place.

[She has no problem eating meat, that much is evident, she's shoveling it all in. Enjoying everything from all places. She doesn't take her time to savor it. She eats her fill quickly and then moves on.]
firstbeliever: (Toothless Smile)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow that's not hard.]

Rabbits and deer.
firstbeliever: (Toothless Smile)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Yay! He takes it with a smile.]

I'm Jamie. What's your name?
in_loveless_memory: (Loveless)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-11 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He appreciates her honesty and straight forwardness. It was refreshing in comparison to everything else in his life.]

Why did you decide to pick me?
in_loveless_memory: (Memory Review)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-11 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[His ears bent back and his tail swished as he looked at the younger boy.]

...

Sure. [He starts going through the pictures. Some people had caught him, others had been completely oblivious to his presence and taking the photo.]
in_loveless_memory: (Um what?)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-11 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I uh... someone mentioned the reason why this festival was happening.

Um... no? [And if it was, he wasn't about to confess anything to a stranger.] Why?
firstbeliever: (I Get It)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
I know a lot about mythical creatures. And I like to learn about things too.

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2013-10-11 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Demona looks over her shoulder at him. She wasn't planning on writing much more than that, so she puts her pen down. ]

It's a dead language called Latin.
firstbeliever: (I Don't Know Guys)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Well she should probably get used to it because Jamie likes to draw his friends. But at her question he looks up at her curiously.]

What's that?
firstbeliever: (Awe And Wonder)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Someone gets it! He nods.] That's right. I'm watching all of the strange creatures who have come out tonight.
mulletrock: ([b] role model)

[personal profile] mulletrock 2013-10-11 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Honir'll make you something from wherever you're from too. So why don't you focus less on what I'm eating and more on yourself?

[His tone is level, it's obvious he's not really bothered by it and that it's just a smart suggestion. He takes another bite of his burger, shoving a few fries down his gullet too for the whole experience.]
5thchild: Smile (pic#2526117)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-11 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ kaworu nods softly ]

Both, for my friend. [ kaworu looks at the big oak ] I hope our words will reach them.
mulletrock: (normal: chew)

[personal profile] mulletrock 2013-10-11 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Twist off.

[Dean says it like it should be obvious. He picks up his beer, like he just remembered it, and has a pull from it. There's something about cheeseburgers and beers together that's just fucking awesome. He has to relish it.]

Good for you.

[You can hear the indifference in his tone. He's not trying to be a dick, he's just been there. He knows what it's like to be around that age.]

This'll be our secret.

[If she's all that concerned about it. There's more beer where this came from.]
firstbeliever: (Awe And Wonder)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-10-11 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jamie looks over the pictures in awe. He's only been drawing creatures and not people so it's interesting to see.]

Those are really great!
mulletrock: (normal: thinking)

[personal profile] mulletrock 2013-10-11 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If this is a dream, it's nothing I wanna stay in.

[He knows it's not a dream, he's just humoring her. It's dangerous to think like that when there were very real threats here. He'd tell her that later.}
madcuriosity: (Ho ho ho~ ♥)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-10-11 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
They're extremely curious. Oh yes, they love visiting humans and other creatures. [She leaned in closer.] Once something has an autumn faerie's curiosity, they shan't stop pursuing it until satisfied.
in_loveless_memory: (What no I'm not blushing shut up)

[personal profile] in_loveless_memory 2013-10-11 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blushed a little, not really used to compliments.]

Uh... thanks. They're just quick shots though.
sexyoldgirl: (What Makes You Think I Was Ever Giving)

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-11 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles.]

Ah, I see! And are you enjoying yourself?
sexyoldgirl: (What Makes You Think I Was Ever Giving)

[personal profile] sexyoldgirl 2013-10-11 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That does not surprise me at all.

[She takes it and eats a small bite, chewing thoughtfully.]

Not bad.
yggdrasilssea: (well well » looks like a winner)
