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

Uh-huh! I like having the other kids around! And I never really got to come to things like this back home. Usually my parents would get a babysitter and I'd stay home while they went out to parties.
delancret: (= then she whipped out her dick)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
It does, doesn't it?

[Deeeeep whiff. She thinks she might be smelling potatoes and she knows she's smelling meat. Good stuff.]

So, what is your line of work? What do women in the 21st century do?

[It's half wondering, actually. She mostly expects society to be fundamentally the same. Things have a way of being, don't they? And no matter how much people like Thomas More cry out against it, the rich will always be the ones holding all the power. This girl is noble or she is common, and commoners work. That's how things are.]

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-10-12 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Clementine can't help but be amazed and impressed at the Growth, watching the plants and flowers literally grow so quickly! She almost resists the urge to clap but finds herself doing so anyway in applause and encouragement at Ellie's display of her new power here.]

Wow! That's pretty neat! I bet you could do lots of things with that too!

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-10-12 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I guess so. Or you could have lots of different clothes and sizes depending on your body and what sort of thing you find comfortable? Clothes change a lot. I don't think it really matters so long as it keeps you warm and it's comfy though.

Day 339

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-10-12 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Vash watches for a moment as Ninian teaches some of the locals one of her dances. He watches with a smile, touched by how patient she is as she teaches them.]

That's a pretty nice dance there. Is it from your home?
badwolf: (✿ 003)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-12 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'll take a number, and lead them over to the nearby table and chairs to wait their turn to order; it's busy, this time of day. ]

Right now- or back home, at least. It's ... sort of. Technically unemployed. Doing a bit of personal work. It's a bit heavy for a lunch chat. [ S o r r y. ]

But usually I sort of work for ... Not the Government. A not-so-but-kind-of secret service that protects the Earth. M'also an Heiress now, too. Keep forgetting that bit. --It's new.
realmenknitplushies: (Calm and simple)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-12 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, that's cool.

[Looking sympathetic, here-]

But it ain't your fault. You said it was a curse. Those things're just meant to screw around with you, right?
Edited 2013-10-12 10:01 (UTC)
delancret: (= gossip train)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh. Interesting answer. She crosses her legs, forgetting that ~ladies don't do that.]

So, you work to protect order. Outside the home... and your father allows this?
realmenknitplushies: (My head hurts)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-12 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He manages a bit of a laugh-]

Sure it does. But if you're used to this stuff and there were still more than you knew about? Man.
badwolf: (✿ 013)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-12 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ As if to be subconsciously obtuse right along with her, Rose crosses her own legs as well. ]

He's the head of it, actually. Only reason I'm not, is cause I don't want to be. Though I do most of the work anyway, with the new baby keepin' him an' mum busy.

[ She's picking at the little numbered paper, eyeing the booth and it's wonderful smelling foods. ]

Know what you want? Or should I get somethin' for the both of us? Besides chips. --You're not allergic to anything, are you?
delancret: (Default)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. You order.

[She doesn't recognize this food and has no earthly idea of what an allergy is, so you go right on ahead with... whatever, chica.]

So, does the inheritance come from a stepmother or stepfather? I imagine stepmother. [After all, if her father is head of this work and the heiress status is new...] I was new to it once as well. My father married into nobility when I was young. I don't mean to pry, but if it is new to you, I can only caution that behaving as you once did can only leave you open to having what is newly yours taken from you.

[Zen.]

Unless society has changed as much as it sounds.
realmenknitplushies: (Cut-In)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-12 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He's kind of had a lot of things on his mind, Yosuke! Such as, perhaps, meeting up with the Persona users that he knows? Finding where he's going to be living? Recovering from the sheer shock of it all?]

I'm telling ya now, ain't I? And [giving a nod-] ... yeah, sure. Akihiko Sanada.
... From Port Island. Y'know, where we went with school. Looks like there were a bunch of 'em - us - you know... - doin' stuff there a few years back.

[He lets out a sigh.]

Looks like this whole thing's bigger than we thought.

[If only they could've met back home...]
badwolf: (✿ 090)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-12 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's ... a bit complicated.

[ To do with her own parents, that is. But from what Danielle is saying, Rose can only frown. Definitely not what she was expecting. But then. Evil stepmothers much? They happened, occasionally. And Dani did seem like a lady of ... some sort of high blood. Maybe. But speculation is speculation, and it's going to have to wait as she makes no comment for it, and slips off to gather two plates of food. It's self serve and ready-made for the most part, you just have to wait your turn.

So the other woman will receive a plate of pulled pork sandwhich, chips, and a side of ceaser salad. Nothing fancy, but happily delicious, in Rose's opinion. ]


It's changed. Society- that is. [ To pick up where they left off. ] But there's plenty that's still the same, I think. The rich own everything, the government is awful, an' the poor are generally easier t'get along with. Great for a bit of juicy gossip, too.

But your Stepmum, then. She a bit of a-- [ Hag, bint, bitch. No, those won't do. ] Unsavoury type?
windbreak: (+ bleak-looking)

[personal profile] windbreak 2013-10-12 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking a little defeated, Yosuke pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment.] Yeesh, no kidding.

[Which feels like something of an understatement, but he's not sure he wants all of the implications to sink in. It's too much. And here they are, without their Personas - for that matter, without a leader.

Man, he hates how it seems to come back to that.]


So... what do we do about it? Or more like, what can we do? I thought maybe those of us who didn't get hauled into this might be in danger without realising because of it, and then it turns out they might have something completely separate to worry about back home, too? If we didn't close the case...
bestestfurrend: (8>>!)

[personal profile] bestestfurrend 2013-10-12 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Wheee!

[Yesss, someone who'll play along with her! She's missed this. Equius does try, but it takes a lot of prompting on her end.]

I've missed you! We haven't met fur ages and ages! How've you been?
delancret: (= whistle while you work)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
I should like that very much. In the mean time, I'm quite happy with this.

[She continues eating happily, making light chatter for half the bowl. When it's starting to get melty and soupy, she pipes up between bites.]

You know, I might look old to you, but I'm really only 18.
delancret: ({ no eye contact)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
Just a little. [Sarcaaaasm.] She ruined the farm, and you won't believe what she does to the servants to make up for her unpaid taxes. She's unbelievable.

[Quieter:]

But she is my mother. Of sorts. I do love her.

[After a moment, she perks up, pushing up her ample white sleeves and preparing to.... stare at the food until Rose starts eating, so she can figure it out.]

But enough about home! Tell me about Asgard. This is to be my home now, I must know about it. How long have you been here?
windbreak: (+ it's on me)

[personal profile] windbreak 2013-10-12 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and there's more where that came from! [Inexplicably, he seems a little proud...

Behind them, the incoherent vocals start up again.]


Why, is it different in yours?
badwolf: (✿ 106)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-12 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rose's lips purse slightly; horrible parents, and yet they were still loved. She'd seen it before, with Tommy. Horrible dad, and yet in the end, she'd convinced him to go after him. Smart choice, in her opinion. And that hadn't even been that far into the past. ]

Uhh, that's also a bit complicated. [ But she grins, and catches a chip to up and pop into her mouth. The look of pleasure she gets from it is just this side of excessive. It's been a while. ] Ungh that's good.

Bu' Asgard. S'probably coming up two years total, now. With a few bits in between taken out. I've been back home a few times- not for very long, just a few seconds, before comin' back. Though usually quite a bit of time's passed.
delancret: (= stuck in my pooper)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Following Rose's lead, she picks up one of the thingies and pops it in her mouth. It's hot, but that's no surprise- it's also really good. Then she catches Rose dipping it into... stuff, and discovers the wonders of condiments.

Then- wait. Wait.]


Two years?! You've been here for two YEARS?
badwolf: (✿ 017)

[personal profile] badwolf 2013-10-12 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a chip hanging half out her mouth when Dani seems to pop with incredulity. ]

Wh-- [ Wait, finishing chewing, first. ] On an' off? Look, it-- I know it sounds bad. Not everyone's been here that long. An' in honesty, I like it here. There're people here I can see that I wouldn't be able to otherwise.
freezerburned: (I know it's not alright)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-12 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Isaac is pleased enough to find Robb in a good mood and he moves to plop down next to him, tilting his head at the words.]

What do you mean? [Because that seemed to suddenly take the fun out of the conversation. The thought crosses his mind that- well. He's met a lot of dead people here...] -were you exiled or something? They did that in the medieval ages right?
freezerburned: (Live like an outlaw)

[personal profile] freezerburned 2013-10-12 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Human culture is the lamest get out.

Isaac frowns, trying to come up with a good answer for that.]


Well... when you want someone to work for you, you have to know what they're capable of, I guess.
delancret: (= gossip train)

[personal profile] delancret 2013-10-12 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She mulls that over in her mind, the thought of being here for so long- of even liking it? Danielle's not even had the chance to think of that, honestly, it's been so confusing and numb since she got here. It hasn't even entered her mind that this could be a true home- just a temporary freak, she thinks, something that must be a dream that she will surely wake up from.

Like it? That makes it sound like a good thing. A life to live, instead of something that's ripped her away from her life and loved ones. She might never see her friends again. Never see her family again.

She repeats it, slow and incredulous.]


I might never see my family again. [Again, a little less unhappy.] Never.

Rose. [She turns to her, intense.] Is there any chance we might be here forever?
asgardsclaws: (Default)

[personal profile] asgardsclaws 2013-10-12 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
Would I do something like that?

[Yes, he would. But nevertheless, Fenrir pops a little cube into her mouth, lifting an eyebrow as she tries it. It's just a tender piece of pork, maybe a little salty, but not bad.]

Well?
