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

[That one took a minute. However, it was also a nature-related riddle, exactly the sort her mother liked and that she was raised with. The main thing was that she had to remember who she was talking to.

It was something she hadn't seen until she'd left home herself, after all.]


A wave.

[She chuckled a little.] I like that one.
asgardsflight: (you've gotta do the cooking by the book)

[ You used to be such a sweet little show, Teen Wolf. ]

I would disagree, but it's hard to argue with a fox!

[ He's just about to set Stiles back down when a thought hits him. He is in Odin's house. ]

Oh, would you like me to explain our ages? I can give you a quick lesson!
asgardsflight: (i'm not just disobedient)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh! Honir will conjure a cosy lounge chair for Ryan before he sits. Getting to tell stories is Honir's favourite thing, second only to listening to stories, so he scoots closer and props his elbow and chin up on the booth. ]

Well, it was sort of a hostage exchange, you know? Someone important to both kingdoms, so Njord's children and the Allfather's oldest advisor. I went because I didn't want Mimir to go alone, and because there was so much to see and do in Vanaheim. They were not very strong back then, we taught them better defences and strategies while Freyr and Freya brought music and art to Asgard.

[ It's not exactly a happy story, but Honir does seem terribly enchanted by it all. A peaceful resolution with both sides coming out stronger for it? Plus, he's got to spend the past three thousand years with Mimir. It's win-win-win. ]

[erik gives him a bland look, because telekinesis does not even come close to what he can do, he's a lot more amazing than just being a telekinetic excuse you. but he doesn't protest the killing part, because yeah. okay. that's good.]

I need to know which power I have.
asgardsflight: (makes the food taste dandy)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He remembers that one's letter. ]

Try to drag him here next, I would love to try!

There's nothing quite like the market district for near about anything you could want if you've the chit. It's a bit of a challenge to get in and about if you don't know how to move properlike. But yes, it's wonderful in its own right.

[She gestured at the plates of honeycake, after handing the drink over.]

Those will compliment the beer, if you like. Honeycakes are forever fun to make.
asgardsflight: (makes the food taste dandy)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I am! I'm no good at riddled either, so mine is just a question: can you name at least ten of the fifteen gods that are currently in Asgard?
asgardsflight: (to bake a pretty cake)

[personal profile] asgardsflight 2013-10-11 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
They didn't send me anywhere. I chose to go!

[ And he is pleased as punch about it, too. ]

I'm Honir!
samantha_grey: (Oh?)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-10-11 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh... fair enough. [Not quite what she thought she'd read, but then again maybe he was pretty much ok with the venture.] I'm Samantha Grey.

...anyone ever told you that you're really... energetic?

[Jude had just arrived in Asgard just a day ago & already things are booming. he makes his way to the festival & just ahead he recognizes a familiar color so he heads that way. the closer he gets, he sees the goddess & for a moment he's stunned.

this isn't the first he's seen a deity, of course. this is actually the third time he's seen one but the second time seeing one so beautiful.]


Is that her? Is she one who chose me? [it's still a little surreal & Jude hesitates, unsure if he should approach her.] Well... I'm here. I might as well say hello.

[and so he goes, walking to her, but his steps become slower the closer he is. what should he say? is there some sort of prayer of some sort he needs to recite in front of her? just as his mind comes up with a hundred other possible possibilities, he realizes he's there - standing before her.]

Uh-- [well now he has to say something.] H-Hi.

[that's dumb. that sounds way dumb. but Jude's not so good with talking to women - older, beautiful women at that. he is a growing boy after all.]

( dear god i'm so sorry for so many edits )

I tend to hold myself to moderation when it comes to such things. I am more interested in the puzzle you would have me solve.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So try to move your shadow. If it doesn't move, you've got body control, and I'm off the training list.

[Yes, he is sticking to that.]

[ He considers Itachi, and the request. ]

Among my duties to Asgard is keeping watch of the travelers. Who are you concerned for?
asgardsloyalty: icons by <user name="dreacons" site="insanejournal.com"> (ಠ_ಠ i'll be watching you)

[personal profile] asgardsloyalty 2013-10-11 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I am Heimdall. Have you come for your question?

[personal profile] asgardsloyalty 2013-10-11 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Interesting, that she didn't care to ask who was sitting on the hidden platform. Heimdall notes that, and her state, before nodding. ]

Only one, but it has several answers. Which are the kindgoms allied with Asgard?

[ Afternoon, little fox, you're very cute. Heimdall shows no surprise that he's being approached by a woodland creature, only asks his question. ]

Name for me the kingdoms allied with Asgard.

As many as you like, young man, if you'll first tell me what you think sits behind the curtain.

[ Translation: who do you think you're dunking? ]

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You need to know, right? No quicker way to find out.

[erik thinks that this should be stuff that he's supposed to know right at the beginning, but there was no way of learning that given he practically rushed out and went exploring before anything could ever be explained, so that was his fault. erik moves to a place which is sort of lit but there's not much people. and then he stands in front of a wall and waits for his shadow to move. after a few seconds he says,] This is ridiculous. How - what am I supposed to do? Is it like telepathy? Do I communicate with it?
flightofdeath: (crabbe sr.)

just the one

[Voldemort waits until Loki is alone. It isn't that he doesn't want to speak to Utgard's Loki, more so that he prefers to be one on one with the gods. And so when he approaches, it's at one of those opportune times in which Utgard's Loki is nowhere in sight.]

Hello.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-11 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Just picture it moving, I guess? That's what I do with fire, I think about what I wanna do and it does. Isn't that how magnetokinesis works?

[It's weird, seeing Magneto have so much trouble with this. He's always assumed most mutations worked the same way.]

[ Naturally, the Doctor's there. He has a lot of people to send well wishes and pay tribute to. When he spots Morgana, he sends her a gentle smile, and only approaches as soon as she seems to be done tying the ribbons. ]

Hullo.
leidenschaft: (Default)

[personal profile] leidenschaft 2013-10-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's not - [a frown.] How much do you know about about me? Not as - however old or ancient your Magneto was. But as me. My past.

[Ellie pulls a face at him, but then kind of smiles, taking the stance again.]

You wanna give it a shot?
