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

I know you worked for the government. [His expression cools at that.] But we had that fight already. You got used. Not like I can't say the same.

I never worked for the government, that was Charles' idea. My powers didn't manifest until I was a teenager - in Auschwitz. [his expression darkens.] And even then --

I'll have to do it in my own time. [he purses his lips into a thin line, having considered that he'll have to actually talk to charles because this is stupid, and difficult, and anyway, at least he's not going to be alone. but time is of the essence, and - there are things that they have to talk about, anyway.] Just in case it is the other - power, and you did say you don't want to be present when that happens.

Ausch -

[That was definitely a lesson in Xavier's. They learned all about the downtrodden, the oppressed, to better understand their situation. But he never knew. He wouldn't see the tattooed number until later in his life, not long before Mystique was deserted.]

- you were in a fucking death camp?

[gives him a withering glare;] I survived.

So you see, I didn't know how my mutation worked until .... later on. When I had time. And Charles helped me. The man has his own failings, but that's between us.

[grumbling] In all likelihood it'd probably be rage again that will get it out. But yes. Next time you want to go head to head against me about oppression, bite your tongue. And I don't want it going around either. Don't talk to me about morality. I've seen the other side of it, and there's a reason why our work is necessary. Why we have to do the things we do, and why sometimes, that leads to horrible disasters, personal or otherwise. Because we have to get better.

[a pause] I'll spend the next couple of days talking and getting to know people. Afterwards, I'll call you. We'll practice. I'll see how well your training has gone.

[He's still a bit dazed. He can't believe that Magneto was part of the Holocaust - that's just a random part of human history, another example of how stupid and hateful they are, not a pivotal moment in mutant history.]

Yeah, fine. I'll be waiting.

[There's no edge to his words at all. He's once again a loyal ally.]

Good. And Pyro -

[hm. well. alright, once won't kill him.] You're good. Remember that.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-12 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Last time it was "a god among insects." Better get to work on those compliments.

[He's smiling genuinely, though. For all the trouble this will cause, it's a huge relief to have Magneto back.]

[rather dryly,] Make sure you earn that praise again, then. And maybe I'll consider.

[personal profile] ex_outofcontrol435 2013-10-14 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just turns back to the tree with that same grin, letting Magneto leave. Pyro's obviously been dismissed.]
