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! ]

day 338 and day 340 | open

[ day 338, at the costume party ]

[ Scott's costume is definitely in the silly category. It's also perfect for him since people have commented on how much he's like a puppy. Except now he's almost a puppy inside a puppy costume. Oh well. He's having fun with this. You can't be unhappy in a puppy costume. ]

[ day 340, by the tree ]

[ Scott's mostly here for Stiles. With his best friend cursed as a fox, tying a ribbon to the tree isn't something easily manageable for Stiles. He'd probably still try but end up failing miserably and probably hurt himself in the process. So, Scott is tying ribbons for him instead, one for Stiles' mother, who passed away when he was young, and Stiles' father, who Scott knows Stiles misses back home. He also ties a ribbon for his own mother he thinks about everyday.

And since the tree seems to be about paying respects to the dead, Scott lights up a couple of tealight candles. One for Stiles' mother, and one for Allison's mother. He sits and watches the candles burn. ]

[ oh, puppy costume! it's not hard to miss since it's a giant puppy.

Kaworu passes by in his vampire costume but stops top turn his head at Scott, chuckling ]
You look nice.

[ Scott beams back at Kaworu. ] Thanks. My best friend is always comparing me to a puppy so it seems appropriate.

You look cool. I like your wings.

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-13 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
To a puppy? Why?

[ at the mention of the wings, Kaworu's hand reaches to touch one ] thank you- they are a bit heavy, though. [ and bother a lot of people since they get in everyone's way ]

I'm not sure... I think I might be good at puppy dog eyes? [ Which make him get away with everything. ]

Too bad you can't actually fly with them.

[personal profile] 5thchild 2013-10-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ he shakes his head ] I rarely used flight when I could, so being able to fly now would not make much difference.

You could fly before you got here?

"Levitate" would perhaps be the best word to describe it.

[As Scott stands by the tree and watches the tealights, Stiles is sitting by his feet, leaning against one of his legs as he looks up at the ribbons tied there for his parents.

He missed them both, but the feeling for his mom had his eyes getting a little wet and he sort of hoped Scott didn't notice that maybe the fox leaning against him had a few tears trickling down his muzzle.

Maybe he could forgive him for the auction thing.

Maybe.]

[ Scott's leg felt... wet. And it wasn't raining.

He looked down at his foxy friend and... oh. Scott looked up again and tried to look like he hadn't seen Stiles cry so his friend wouldn't feel embarrassed...

But it was Scott and Stiles. They'd cried in front of each other before. It was never about looking manly in front of the other. Not that there was anything unmanly about showing emotion.

Scott hoped Stiles wouldn't mind being scooped up and held against Scott's shoulder, the closest thing to a hug right now. ]

[Crying happened. Especially when he thought about his mom. It wasn't the first time Scott had seen him cry and he wasn't naive enough to think it was the last.

He was surprised to find himself picked up, but he took the comfort for what it was, curling in against Scott and just wishing he could have his parents back.]

[personal profile] mccallmemaybe 2013-10-16 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gently, Scott starts moving his body from side to side so he's rocking Stiles back and forth, kind of like with a baby. But he's hoping it'll soothe Stiles and make him fall asleep instead of continuing to cry. ]

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-16 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Scoooooott... don't make him sleepy. He was out where everyone could see him. With their judgment and eyes and... *yawn*]
mccallmemaybe: (pic#4497552)

[personal profile] mccallmemaybe 2013-10-18 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No one's going to judge an adorable fox like yourself, Stiles. Succumb to the sleep Scott is rocking you into...

Seriously though, Scott would make an awesome dad one day. ]
teenyoda: (Fox - Sleeping 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2013-10-18 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He probably would, but Stiles wasn't going to admit it. Not even as he started to snuffle against Scott and his eyes closed.]
