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

Open!

Day 339:

[Observe, if you will, one Kanji Tatsumi on the prowl. Okay, some of this foreign stuff looks absolutely great! But, to be quite frank... he's homesick to all hell. Even the excitement yesterday - and boy, that's been exciting - isn't enough to really take his mind off things.

So he's going to have to make do.

Seriously, there's got to be something around here, right, with what's going on? Takoyaki? Okonomiyaki? Shaved ice, even? He'll take any of it...]



Day 340:

[Kanji's unusually subdued as he heads for the tree. It's been a long time, that's for sure. But some things still play on his mind: some things that he wishes he could have said, could have been around to say...

Still.

Perhaps this can be something in the stead of what he never said to his father. Perhaps something'll carry through.
Somehow.]

[ kaworu was only for a few days iut of his laboratory, back in his world, so he never had a chance to try out food and... well, everything else. though he has learned a lot in Asgard, some things still amaze him.

His eyes are set on the shaved ice Kanji has. ]


What's that?

[With his treat-from-home finding mission accomplished, Kanji wasn't really expecting to be quizzed on it. But - there he goes. He looks over, a little surprised-]

Huh, this?

[He looks between Kaworu and the bowl-]

It's... pretty much just ice, man. With flavours in it. This one's melon...

Ice with flavors? [ blinks. No, he definitively never heard of that ]

If it's ice, how does it have flavors?
realmenknitplushies: (Kan-bow)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-10 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Kanji's looking a bit baffled. He's not usually the one answering the questions!]

They put... syrup and stuff like that on it? Y'know, like fruit or green tea or something?
5thchild: Smile (pic#2526483)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-11 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ and questions is something kaworu lives for. ]

I see. So it's like a candy?
realmenknitplushies: (Calm and simple)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-11 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[...Close enough.]

Yeah, you could say that. Same sort of sweet thing. The stall's pretty near here if you want to try some.

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-11 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ kaworu nods softly ] I will, thank you.

[ ah- ] What's the best flavor?
realmenknitplushies: (Um...)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2013-10-11 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanji looks a spot puzzled-]

I dunno... depends what you like, doesn't it?
