EVENT MINGLE: AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Who: Everyone!
What: The event mingle for the And A Happy New Year event.
When: Days 555-557
Where: Anywhere in town!
Rating: PG-13 tops! If it gets worse, move to a private log please.

DAY 555 (Dec 14-15)
As the last of the black ice is cleared from the city - and the last of its natives wake from their gray slumber - a cautious winter celebration begins. The city itself opens its doors wide to the allied forces still camped outside it and the natives invite the Travelers to observe the beginning of Winter and the approach of the end of the Asgardian year with them.

The day begins with what seems like a typical party in the streets. There is food, music, and an attitude of general warmth and hope from the Natives that hasn't been quite so present in a long time. It will be interrupted in the early afternoon by a snowball fight that starts in one sector of the city and quickly snowballs out of control. For a few hours, the city itself will become a veritable warzone, with most of the city's native children and adults alike getting in on the fight! Watch your back and take no prisoners. (NOTE: Please check THIS LINK for player plot information about the snowball fight!)


DAY 556 (Dec 16-17)
Day 556 sees a brief return to old - and maybe familiar - tricks. The festivities continue on outside, but some Travelers throughout the course of the day may find themselves influenced by magical impulse… all in the name of good holiday fun, of course.

The effects of these miniature curses will last anywhere between ten minutes and an hour and happen spontaneously, and most of them are echoes of similar curses that have been laid upon the city before. Travelers may find themselves:
  • Unable to lie or actively compelled to blurt truths, consequences be damned
  • Only able to communicate in poetry or song
  • Given a nagging urge to (sincerely!) compliment anyone they come across
  • Compelled to just hold hands with whoever they're near
  • Caught under sprigs of magic mistletoe that seem to appear at arbitrary times at equally arbitrary places (though they can either be kissed or just wait a few minutes for it to disappear again)

Your character can be affected by as many and as often as you'd like, but none of them are mandatory. To reward the Travelers for putting up with that silliness one final time, they will find in their rooms that night a basket of chocolate, a horrendously ugly Christmas sweater, and one item from home. The item can be anything that fits within the game's technological and magical rules! If you'd like your character to receive something, please just drop a comment HERE to get it approved.

DAY 557 (Dec 18-19)
Day 557 marks the final day of celebration. That evening, twinkling, magical fairy lights will cover the edges of buildings and the branches of trees all over the city. There are light displays of amazing proportion all over the city, and the Welcome Halls are done up in entirely their signature color. the Travelers will be invited into the castle again for a ball much like the one last year. Thor will announce the end of curfew and tell everyone to party hard, because the hunt for both Surt and a way to heal the World Tree will begin after this.

The party will last until midnight, when everyone will be shuffled out into the courtyard for a brilliant fireworks display. It represents both the victory over Thiazi and the hope that the celebration of this coming new year will not be the last.

day 555.

[ Eyes was unwillingly brought into the snowball fight occurring throughout the city, but now that he was an active participant, he might not necessarily object to throwing one of the projectiles at a person here and there. It was a distraction from his yet clothing, at least. ]

day 556.

[ Come the next day, he is noticeably wary and a bit on edge. He didn't like any of these curses the first time, he was definitely not going to like them a second time. Sure, holding the odd person's hand rather than hugging every single person he came across was preferable, but he still didn't like it. And if it came between complimenting a person or speaking random truths, he'd rather do the former. Not that he had any choice of which came out anyway. ]

... I'm afraid I won't be the best company.

[ And forget it if he happens to be near one of those blasted sprigs... ]

day 557.

[ As for the celebration... He wasn't adverse to it, acknowledging what would probably be the last festival before the war sent the next series of events their way. It was somehow more beautiful than the first party held here, or that could also be his perspective muddled by years of being in this city. The abundance of colour was a stark contrast to then, and it makes him seem lost in thought.

What wasn't so different was his preference to stay as an observer, though occasionally he starts chatting with passing Traveller or Native. That much was different. And if he catches sight of someone who could use a little cheer? Well...]


If I may have this dance?

[She's mostly been standing awkwardly to the side, not confident at all in her ability to move without tripping over the hems of her ballgown. It looks adorable, certainly, but the clerks at the dress store probably went a little bit overboard with this one, green with intricate gold detailing aside...

Probably the plainest thing about her current outfit is that black ribbon tying her hair to the side, to match with the darker shade of the dress. It's one that he would probably find very familiar.

Eh--

Um... But I don't really... know how though...

[Ayumu was much of the same opinion as Eyes-- These curses were far from comfortable for him to deal with, and he was almost tempted to flee back to the house after a run in with the cursed mistletoe. Almost being the key word, of course.

He doesn't even notice Eyes is there before he's only a few feet away, as preoccupied as he is with keeping an eye upward on the branches of trees and the awnings of stalls. The flash of familiar lavender in his periphery finally catches his eyes, though, and he turns.] Oh... Rutherford?
