Who: EVERYONE
What: the Good God, Y'all mingle log.
When: Days 461-462 ( June 9-12 )
Where: the castle courtyard
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

Day 461 ( June 9/10 ): When the Travellers wake up, they will find a message sent to every bracelet in the city:
As per the agreement between the gods and their Travellers, all persons within Asgard are humbly requested at the castle courtyard for enlistment in the Holy City's war efforts. Every individual is invited to find their resolve and seek out their purpose; this is the final stand in Ragnarok, and your help is needed now more than ever.

Enlistment is mandatory! Please see your local officials for more information.
A friendly if not a touch formal invitation to what will essentially be Asgard's job fair! A mandatory job fair. This is why we can't have nice things.

The castle courtyard and the streets leading into it will be crowded with bustling natives and several booths, not uncommon in appearance to the many festivals they've had over the last two years. This time, however, there is no music or celebration to be had. Everyone is hard at work organising their efforts for the war and doing their level best to assist in the transition.
Day 462 ( June 11/12 ): The fair will continue for two days, to give everyone time to get down there and make their decisions. Anyone that hasn't signed up by the end of this day will be visited at home by a city rep and a few guards that will politely ask them to register for a group and weaponry if they plan to carry it. Refusal will land them in jail for the day, where they will still be politely asked to please, seriously, just pick something. Anything. Uncle Odin wants you.

At the end of the fair, there will be food and drinks to thank the Travellers for their support and cooperation. Throughout the entirety of the event and for the rest of their stay, the natives will be more reverent and grateful than ever than the Travellers have chosen to stay and fight at their side. They will do anything they can to help them win this war; this evening will be one of camaraderie and appreciation for the past, present, and future sacrifices to save the World Tree.

[Ellie can spot the antsy feelings a mile away. She's feeling a little restless in the crowds too, so she comes up to Clementine's side, gives her opposite arm a poke. It's a childish little thing, but maybe it'll make Clem look the wrong way. Either way, she'll find Ellie grinning.]

So this is a fair, huh?

[Clementine blinks, almost jumping at the unexpected contact and instinctively on-guard. Until she looks the other way and sees Ellie. Hears that familiar voice. Okay, so she isn't really mad. But it does earn Ellie a raised eyebrow before she shrugs.]

I guess. Or, a job fair to get us to sign up to help with the war. Basic idea is familiar enough. Booths, food and drink. Back home they just weren't really...about fighting a war.

[Clementine's used to her shit by now. Ellie grins, straightens up.]

Way to put a damper on whole... festive spirit thing.

I was kind of hoping there would at least be a ferris wheel. No luck.

It's signing us up to fight. People are going to get hurt. Die. It's a war. What's so festive about that?

[Yeah. Clementine is past the time for optimism, too old for that now for the most part. She isn't seeing how this can be 'festive' at all, really.]

A ferris wheel? Like at a carnival or a theme park?

I guess it's better than acting like huge jerks about it. The lady on the PA system back home was... yeah. We used to make fun of her shit.

[As sardonic as it is, Ellie feels a smile tug at the edges of her mouth. Well, Clementine's definitely learning to tell it like it is.]

Inaction costs lives~

[The voice is a little singsong, but she can't really laugh at it the way she used to. This all reminds her so much of the QZ, and it hurts.]

Yeah. There's one in the city but it doesn't work.

[Oh, PA systems. Yeah, Clementine has experience with those. More than she would like, really. But there's a half almost shrug at that, and perhaps a hint of a smile.]

Doing something, at least we're trying....better than just hiding and hoping it will sort itself out.

[Because it won't. Not unless they do something. It's the same as back home. Even if they might have been comfortable in a house, they still have to move. Keep going. Nothing will change, nothing will get sorted on its own.]

I can't remember that I've been on one. I mean, I remember hearing about theme parks and stuff. I'm not sure if maybe someone around might be able to fix it? Or it might be too big for a drawing life person to try.

Yeah. I can't knock 'em for that.

[As Clementine suggests it, Ellie starts nodding.]

Maybe we should get Rusty in on it. She's got those powers, she might be able to figure out the smaller-scale stuff.

Rusty? Maybe if there is a group of drawing life people working together they could manage something that big. Could be good practice for when things really start heating up. They might need to, to collaborate together on something big to help with the fighting at some point.

[It is definitely something to consider, at the very least, she considers as she takes a sip of her drink.]

Good thinking.

... really good thinking, actually.

[She's had backup in the form of a drawing-life artist before, and they've actually been astonishingly helpful.]

If they get creative they might even be able to turn the whole battle.

You think so?

[She knows they are powerful and versatile, definitely. But she hadn't necessarily fully comprehended the possibility of that if they all teamed up at once like that together. She looks to Ellie curiously, considering it herself for a moment.]

Alice drew a dragon.

I bet you she could do more than that.

Yeah. I'm sure there are limits, but if a group of them teamed up they could probably do something pretty huge and powerful together. I know Alice has gotten pretty good with hers at least. I'm sure there are others at a higher level around too.

[The dragon thing is kind of awesome, Clementine has to agree. Remembers reading stories about them back home in fairytales. And she doubts that is the limit.]

Of course there are limits, even with level three, but still. It's something to think about and maybe bring up later, see what they might think.
