Who: Everyone!
What: The event mingle for the Friends, Indeed event.
When: Day 546 & 547
Where: Anywhere in town!
Rating: PG-13 tops! If it gets worse, move to a private log please.

DAY 546 (Nov 26-27)
A message will arrive at the gates that more reinforcements from other cities are on the way. The death of the Frost Giants' queen has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world -- not in small because it also means that the prophecy following Ragnarok can no longer happen as foretold. Unable to sit back and rely on fate now, groups of varying sizes from all over begin to arrive. First come scholars and medics from Vanaheim, followed by a ragtag but enthusiastic militia from Salt Side and other nearby villages, followed still by a military force of gruff and grumpy dwarves from Svartalfheim bringing with them a vast and diverse array of weapons to share.

They set up their semi-permanent camps outside the gates of the city - though many of them can be frequently found inside of the city too, and for the most part these new allies seem ready to learn about and contribute to whatever resources Asgard and its Travelers have already. Everyone in the camp seems to be prepared to stay there until the war for Yggdrasil is over, and especially so now: it's anyone's guess how Surt will react with Thiazi now permanently out of play.


DAY 547 (Nov 28-29)
On the morning of Day 547, every character with a bracelet will receive an invite from Freyr to come the courtyard of the castle at nightfall. The ice will be completely cleared from it, and a few magically tended bonfires will provide a gentle, radiating heat that keeps most of the area comfortably warm. As some of the castle's maids pass out snacks and hot cocoa in warm mugs, he will give a short speech to and then makes a small request of those who arrive.

Who: EVERYONE in the mirror!verse of Asgard
What: A House Divided mingle log for characters in the mirror!verse. The log for the real Asgard is here.
When: Days 360 - 364 ( Nov. 21 - 30 )
Where: in the mirror-Asgard, all across the city
Rating: PG-13 with warnings for graphic violence. Anything that warrants an "R" rating should be taken to a private log, please!

[ When the Travellers wake up on Day 360, they will find themselves in their beds, in their rooms, exactly where they fell asleep the night before, but something will be quite obviously off about the city. For one, the colours are all inverted, as though the whole of Asgard has gone grey again and the only colour remaining is in the places that were previously without. Odd, but not terribly damaging. It may be discouraging to think that colour will have to be restored all over again, but worse things have happened in the city. At least the city is still intact.

Or perhaps not. As the Travellers attempt to go about their business, it will soon become obvious that its wrongness extends past poor decorating choices. The city is near empty of all other Travellers, and the natives seem wary to interact with the few that are around. Communicating with them is impossible; the spell that translates all communication into Asgardian is gone and leaving characters to either speak in their native tongue or find alternative methods of communicating. The bracelets are inoperable and cannot connect to the network for anything.

Before long, as the Travellers attempt to figure out what's happening, other differences will become noticeable. Some Travellers' forms will have changed to reflect their true bodies or natures in ways you may not have been aware of. There will be a compulsion curse urging people to tell each other secrets and truths they've kept buried deep. Most importantly for some, their abilities from home will be restored. Please remember that no canon abilities used in the mirror!verse can affect the real Asgard in any way. What happens in the mirror!verse stays in the mirror!verse. More Travellers will start appearing by the evening of the same day, which may or may not be a good thing.

On Day 361, those previously wary natives will become outright hostile, attacking the Travellers on sight by any means available to them. They might even follow you home and throw rocks through your windows or riot against your workplace. You are strangers in their land and they want you out, almost as badly as the Fire Giants do. And there will be Giants, as they begin to fall into the city alongside more of your fellow Travellers. They will arrive immediately bewildered and frightened, attacking out of base instinct and desperation. As both the Giants and the natives attempt to drive the Travellers out of this strange version of Asgard, the sky will start sprinkling dust in random bursts, but this is by no means as threatening as the guy coming at you with a kitchen knife.

The fighting continues to escalate through Day 362 as more Travellers and Giants fall into the mirror!verse. Dust continues to fall more frequently and large cracks can be seen running across the sky, a bad omen for the fate of those living beneath it, a notion that will become literal by Day 363 when everything goes off the charts.

The colours will blow out of proportion in random places, some appearing like overexposed photos while others fall into black and white or sepia, or a mixture of anything and everything in between. The truth compulsion wears off for some, while other start to feel compelled even further to profess their secrets to anyone that will listen. Frost Giants will begin appearing alongside more and more Fire Giants and Travellers. The city becomes full to bursting with things that want the Travellers dead, until even the city itself starts ejecting them. Those whose canon abilities returned will die painfully all throughout the day as their magic is rejected by Yggdrasil's. As everything begins collapsing, the sky comes down with it like massive shards of broken glass that shatter upon impact and immediately kill anyone caught beneath it, leaving empty dark holes where the sky once was. Everything is wrong wrong wrong, and there seems no hope of correcting it.

At least, not from this side of the veil. Your fate will be left in the hands of another, and what they decide may come to surprise you ... ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for characters in the mirror-Asgard at any point during the A House Divided event. The log for the real Asgard can be found here. The event's conclusion will be announced on November 27 because you are going into this one just as blind as your characters! For those of you regaining your character's canon abilities, please remember to be reasonable and respectful of your fellow players in the use of your powers. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] in the title of your comment along with the day/location. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

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! ]

Who: EVERYONE, including 4th-wallers!
What: The festival and 4th-wall events!
When: Day 290 - 293 (July 4 - 11)
Where: All across the city!
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ On Day 290 (July 4), all of the natives will close down their shops and stores and instead set up booths and stalls all over the city streets. Bright lights and decorations will be put up across every district in the respective colours of their patron gods along with an underlying theme of Freyr’s dark purple and Freya’s rouge. The city will spring to life in celebration of both the twins’ return and the Travellers’ triumph in reviving them. The festival will last three days, with music, games, dancing and an impressive fireworks display every night, visible all throughout the city.

In the midst of the first night of celebrations (July 5), a small earthquake rumbles across the land. It is nothing terribly powerful or disruptive, only strong enough to shift glassware a bit or rustle the leaves. The natives will seem surprised but unalarmed and continue the festivities as normal.

During the night’s fireworks, people will begin to pop! into the world in arbitrary places. Guards and maids will immediately rush around to give these new arrivals temporary bracelets with grey stones to protect them from the Grey Sickness; be sure to take this gift, as there is no telling what will happen to you if you get lost to the Grey when your soul isn’t tied to this world.

Still, the festivities continue even in the presence of their unexpected guests. The natives will treat them with a vague sense of curiosity and confusion, but are otherwise as amenable and deferential as they would be with the Travelers. Hang out, have fun, and please, mind the carpet. ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is one of the mingle logs for the festival / visitor’s event! Characters in game and 4th-wallers can make their own top-level posts and also comment around to their hearts' content! All information on how exactly the fourth wall event works with the relevant rules can be found over here, and we are always available if there are any further questions or clarifications needed. Other places you can tag into and around include the general visitors/event log mingle, the network mingle with NPC involvement, and the visitor directory.

Please put the time/location in your comment title along with [OPEN/CLOSED] and have fun with Asgard’s first fourth wall event! ]

Who: EVERYONE
What: candy hearts event!
When: Day 226 (Feb 26-27)
Where: everywhere!
Rating: PG-13 for kissing and punching and things. Take anything higher to a private log please!

[In the middle of the night (or rather the early, early morning), there's a sound somewhat like falling hail. It only lasts a couple of seconds, and is followed by the howl of a single big gust of wind that seems to get through the cracks of windows and doors no matter how well closed or locked they were.

It seems the rain was a shower of candy hearts, and they'll be cropping up all over the place all day!

What could this possibly mean?]



[ooc note: please make sure to include your character's location(s) and [OPEN/CLOSED] in the subject line, and any prefs (no kisses/only negative hearts/etc) somewhere in your top level comment!]

It’s pretty easy to spot Aladdin most of the time, he’s generally a bright blue ball of energy. He’s normally bouncing around from place to place, but right now that not exactly the case. His hair is cover in dirt, he has a few scrapes and bruises here. He’s slowly trudging along, he looking dead tired but satisfied at least. He’s on his way to have some fun and really relax.

[ so velige kind of woke up today to find himself a lion.

the first thing that really crosses his mind is that he is going to have to replace his bedframe. there's something about being a 400-pound cat that just tends to crush beds. the next thing that occurs to him is that he is going to have a hell of a time getting to work today. he's not sure if lions even get over-time pay. this... could be a long day.

at least he still has his bracelet. he also notices that he's somehow gained a collar-- its' a metallic plate-like object with V E L I G E carved onto it. unfortunately, the V, G and the last E are a little faded for some reason, and therefore, from afar, the most prominent letters make E L I. ]


OPTION ONE. // Heimdall Welcome Hall

[ hello, early birds of Heimdall! there appears to be a very large lion padding down your halls to the kitchen. he's actually there out of habit then any real need for cereal-- it kind of occurs to him that he probably can't even eat cereal. but it's just that it's what he does every day, so... yeah.

he'll probably just poke his head into the kitchen, blink at you, and then silently waddle out again. ]


OPTION TWO. // streets of asgard

[ oh, look, you're witnessing a robbery! your usual formula-- little old native lady gets her bag nabbed by native brat, and it looks like he's doing that whole running-down-the-street-in-plain-sight thing. time to get your justice goggles on? but the thing is, before you can help intercept him, there's a flash of fur out of the corner of your eyes and... is that a lion hurtling towards the poor guy?

when you approach, you'll find a lion wearing a very perplexed look (for a lion) as the guy he's trapped under his paw is screaming for dear life. he's just a lion okay... is it really that weird? ]


OPTION THREE. // in front of the Sigyn Hospital

[ even if he can't really... make it to work today, he figures that it's the principle of the matter that counts. this is why there is currently a large lion parking his fat ass in front of the Sigyn Hospital, and he is currently giving precisely zero fucks. it seems like he's been here for a while now, because several of the native children in the area seem to have taken a liking to him. he has sprigs of branches and leave decorating his head, and there are bows in his mane.

it also seems like an enterprising photographer's set up camp here, because there are natives taking pictures with the lion. looks like he's making a tidy profit, too. do you want to take a picture with a lion... alternatively, you can rescue the poor lion from exploitation. he doesn't look like he minds, but, it doesn't seem like he'll get any royalties for this. ]


OPTION FOUR. // locked to ARGENTA

[ after such a tiring day, it's to no surprise that... Damien is asleep?

apparently. because there's now +1 shota asleep on his back. careful not to wake the sleeping boy, but figuring that he should get the poor kid to a proper bed, the lion is now waddling around asgard looking for a certain Argenta-- mostly because she knows Damien pretty well, judging from that conversation... ]

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Spring Party!
When: Day 73 (April 26-27)
Where: everywhere, but mostly the park!
Rating: PG/PG-13! If it goes NSFW, take it to a private log please.

[Hey everyone, it's time for that party the gods mentioned! As afternoon settles in on Day 73, there will suddenly be an abundance of flowers blooming all at once! In places where the city is still all or mostly grey, they're the same, but in frequently trafficked places (Welcome Halls, Paid Housing neighborhoods, the areas around popular shops etc), things should be getting pretty colourful, and there the flowers are in every shade of the rainbow! All coloured flowers will be letting off a strong, pleasant scent (honeysuckle, jasmine, lilac, whatever you can think of), and some of the more cone-shaped flowers are filled with a faintly glowing nectar that, if harvested, will prove to be a strong healing salve when applied topically and an all-purpose antidote to poisons when ingested.

In the the park, things are set up for a big party! There are numerous spots with seating in both chair and floor cushion form, as well as self-renewing tables of food and drink (including things from Travellers homes and some very fine fruit wines). Music seems to come from nowhere, and is of the ambient whimsical instrumental sort, some laid back and some a little perkier, to promote dancing. The sky tonight will start out clear and full of stars, very intense and eye-catching. After dark, some of the flowers will glow, providing soft coloured light in place of the usual street lamps.

Around midnight, the whole city will be treated to some further special effects. Lights will come up from the ground like multi-coloured fireflies, floating around the city aimlessly for awhile. Trying to touch them will result in one's hand going right through, feeling only a faint warmth. They'll gather loosely around people and other sources of warmth and movement, hovering about and forming patterns here and there. After roughly an hour they'll lift up into treetops and along the eaves of buildings, and stay there glittering til morning.

Lastly, a couple of hours before dawn some light cloud cover will come in, bringing with it a gentle cool sprinkling of rain. In the morning there will be enough light for rainbows, for anyone who stays up to see the impressive sunrise!

The music will stop at sunrise, and all of the other effects (including flowers) will fade away by noon of Day 74 (April 28)! In the meantime, have fun and enjoy!]
