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:
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! ]

The theme of the festivities will change with every day:
The log for the fifth day masquerade can be found here!
- 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.)

OVERFLOW LOG
no subject
"H-Hey, Henry. What are you doing here?"
She points up at the tree, while folding the letter back up. There are several very old bloodstains on it.
i did not miss this tag wtf wtf
Okay, this was closer to the death tree than anything, and it's an entirely different atmosphere- but. It was a good enough excuse.
"What's that you got there? Whose blood?"
More important than 'what's in it'.
I HAD FAITH
The last thing she really wants to do is talk about the fact that it's probably her mom's.
"Why does it matter?"
no subject
He's trying to reach out and poke it.
"And really, what makes you say that? I love all the noise and the screaming. Saw a couple drunken natives get into a bar fight and knife each other, it was great!"
no subject
Yeah, she sounds serious about that. And even a little angry as she pulls it away from him.
no subject
But he stops trying to grab it from her, though he is leaning in to try to get a closer look at it. "Is it yours? I've bled over aaaaaaall my things, it happens!"
no subject
She calms down a bit when he stops trying to touch it, and hesitates, but tips it a little to let him read the words.
"... my mom wrote it."
She shakes her head, shrugging.
no subject
"Huh... guess you never knew her? Pretty nice of her to leave you a note! Was she dying then or something?"
no subject
"I didn't even know her name until I got this letter. I don't know how she died. Or what she was like. Anything."
It feels weird to tell someone this. Or anyone, really. But who the hell is Henry gonna tell? And it's not his style to use it against her, it seems like. And he's sure as hell not going to pity her.
That must be it. It's safe to tell him.
no subject
"Your world sounds pretty dangerous, so it coulda been anything! And hey, not knowing her means she didn't get a chance to disappoint ya or something." It's as close to sympathy as he can get, and he half-shrugs. People died all the time, and attachment to parents wasn't something he particularly understood.
"Was the blood there when ya got it, or have you been adding to it?"
no subject
Ellie snorts, and almost smiles.
"Yeah, but I added some of it, probably-" she glances back toward the tree. "... are you gonna write any letters?"
no subject
"And I already did, but," moving right along, "was that why you're here? It's not like sending off that letter would do you any good- since it's meant for you anyway! Were you sending one back?"
no subject
"Uh, yeah. I thought... I'd send a letter back to her. Let her know how I'm doing. And stuff. But hell if I know what to say. 'Hi, mom. I'm stuck in a weird city where you're supposed to hug your feelings out and fight in a war and I can grow trees by thinking hard now and I still have your switchblade, in fact I really got this guy the other day-'"
She gives him a meaningful look. And linefaces.
"'You'd be so proud.'"
no subject
"But also that she can defend herself okay. I don't see how she could ask for anything more than that. --You should tell her I said hi!"
no subject
She's starting to smile again, just a little bit.
"Who'd you write to? I told you mine, so spill."
no subject
Henry pauses at the question, though his expression doesn't slip. "Mine's nothing that interesting. Just an old friend! Not sure of the point, since even if it got there, I don't think she could read it."
no subject
"But you cared enough to send it, it had to be special, right?"
no subject
It's a better segue than he usually manages. "My parents didn't really want me around, so it was mostly the wild animals that looked after me! My best friend was this big wolf."
no subject
no subject
"Oh, they paid though. I can still remember the screams~"
no subject
Even if their bond wasn't quite so deep, she knows what it's like to have nothing else in the world.
"People are dicks, Henry. I'm sorry."
no subject
Everything was always okay.
"How is the ol' Callus? When I was busy wanting to kill everything in sight I sorta avoided stopping in, but I wanna see him again!"
no subject
"Uh, he's over in the paddock down the way, there."
She'd been all to happy to offer rides to some of the native kids earlier.
