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

Well over five centuries.

[Oh, she understands that. She still gets thrown off by meeting people who actually lived on Earth.]

Well we managed to figure out ways to transform planets and moons to resemble Earth and when they found another Star system, they used the technology to terraform them and that's where we all live now, well where I'm from at least. There are dozens of planets and hundreds of moons we live on.

((OOC: I apologize for the delay with my reply ;-;))

((ooc: No problem!))

Well, at least the human race figures out how to use their brains for something other than making war.

[He looks her over.]

And what are you supposed to be?
companioning: shindig (can't change now)

[personal profile] companioning 2013-10-25 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
They figure something out. Though how not to make war is sadly not among those things.

[Really, as much as Inara hates to admit it, humanity hasn't really got all that much smarter. They still can't get along and well, in general aren't much smarter.]

Oh, I suppose to be a Sun Faerie. [She looks down at her costume and then turns slowly so he can see her wings as well.] See? Wings and all.
stilledsurgeon: (sweet smile)

[personal profile] stilledsurgeon 2013-10-26 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sigh.] Figures.

[A wide grin spreads across his face.]

I see! Now I suddenly feel underdressed.

[One of these days he's going to get the hang of not being stuck patching outfits together out of what he can find.]

[She flashes him a bright, charming smile.]

I think your costume looks nice. Though, I haven't ever encountered a superhero before now.
stilledsurgeon: (Friendly grin)

[personal profile] stilledsurgeon 2013-11-02 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances down at his shabby and makeshift costume, then looks back up at her with a grin.]

Nice? You know, I know you're not blind, so I'm just gonna say that you're very, very good at compliments.
companioning: shindig (find you so amusing)

[personal profile] companioning 2013-11-05 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Part of her training and charm. She chuckles.]

Well it is a good effort. I bought mine, you seem to have used what was available to you. Rather ingenious if you ask me.
