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.

What: Various errands around the city.
When: Day 440
Where: All around the city
Rating: G

[Alastair is a busy young man these days, keeping up with his Assassin training, working for the shop, and keeping an eye on things going on in the city.

With that in mind, today he is:

OPTION A: Doing deliveries.

Usually when Alastair does deliveries for the shops, it's an exercise in freerunning across the roofs of Asgard, but today there's too many for him to carry on his own, so he has a wagon that he's pulling around the city. Every now and then he stops at a door and knocks.

OPTION B: Practicing Freerunning/Patrolling

He's gotten much better. He runs across the roofs with confidence, and while he may not be as fast or as able as his mentors, he can get from point a to point b quickly and efficiently.

At some point, however, he stops, comes to the edge of a roof, and stares over it down at the ground, where someone has put a haystack. Alastair stares for a long time.

OPTION C: Other!

Apart from running above the city and doing errands for work on the street, Alastair can be found working in the shop and doing his own personal errands.]

Who: Everyone!
What: The mingle log for Wife Swap: Asgard Edition.
When: Days 395 & 396 (Jan 28-31)
Where: The cities of Asgard and Alfheim.
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

Day 395 (Jan 28-29)
Soon after sunrise, a train from Alfheim arrives in the city packed with a few dozen elves and crates and crates of supplies for the city. After the city's natives assist them in unloading everything, they will set up camp outside the castle.
In Asgard:
During the day, they will spend their time helping to repair and reinforce the city where it is still damaged from previous attacks. Their unusual technology is built entirely around steam and clockwork, with zero waste output, and they do everything that they can to help the city in a display of gratitude for the help that they have received.

They will spend their nights sticking close to their camp, but are friendly and cautiously curious about any Travelers who approach. Overall, they are intelligent and well-mannered, and though some of them seem not to know what to make of these visitors from other worlds, their appreciation is open and sincere.
In Alfheim:
Not all of the elves who arrive will be remaining in the city, however. Soon after they arrive, they will make an offer to escort any willing Travelers back to Alfheim to assist them in rebuilding their own city. After the flames went out and the Giants went home, several of the elven homes were left in ruin but the true damage is to the forestry that is the heart of their kingdom. Those in Sigyn with Growth or those with energy sharing, healing, or other such abilities as well as anyone simply interested in helping or curious about a new corner of Yggdrasil will be escorted back to the forests for two days of some mutual benefit.

Alfheim itself will be in burnt disrepair but still very much bustling with life. Charred wood is being stripped and stacked, replaced with fresh building materials as elves work together as efficiently as they can to return their home to what it once was.
Day 396 (Jan 30-31st)
Sunrise brings another long day of hard work, but things begin to slow down and relax in both kingdoms as the sun sets. Each city will set up a feast in the courtyards of their respective castles to celebrate their victory against the fire giants, to show their gratitude to the Travelers of Asgard, and to cement their alliance in the war.
In Asgard:
The city's natives will ask the travelers to assist them in setting up dishes from their home world to serve the their Elven friends, but there will be enormous tables heaped high with food from this one as well. The courtyard itself will be lit up with long strings of softly glowing white lights that seem magical in nature. While their fuzzy light is cool to the touch, the air near them is warm, and that warmth radiates out into the courtyard to cut away the biting chill from the entire area. Round tables with modest but elegant tablecloths will provide seating for anyone at the banquet, and some of the more adventurous elves themselves can be found carefully sampling just about everything from the Travelers' worlds.
In Alfheim:
Alfheim's natives will provide food and entertainment in the courtyard of their own castle. This feast will be a little louder as the drink begins to flow alongside Elven delicacies, and the food comes accompanied by joyous song and dance. There is a lot to celebrate, and the natives here seem eager to include the Travelers here in that celebration. When the party winds to a close, they will supply Asgard's travelers with both blankets and small packages of food and drink for the late night train ride home. They will arrive back in the city early on the morning of Day 397 (February 1st), when the visiting Elves still in Asgard will board and head back home.

What: Coming home from Alfheim
When: Evening 390
Where: Needle in a Haystack (the Assassin's Bureau) and on the way there
Rating: F for Feels?

[He's hurt, his mangled and broken right arm held in a sling, but Alastair doesn't go to the hospital. Instead, once they return to Asgard, he starts off for the Bureau right away, walking maybe a little slowly through the streets until he reaches the soft glow of A Needle in a Haystack.

Pushing the door open with one hand he walks in and almost immediately heads to a table to sit down.

He's tired. But he's also satisfied, despite the injury, despite his exhaustion, knowing that the battle is won and he played his part well.]

Who: Everyone going to Alfheim
What: The mingle log for A Friend In Need
When: Days 387-390 ( Jan. 12-19 )
Where: Asgard, Alfheim, and the train ride inbetween
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

Day 387 ( Jan. 12/13 )
Before boarding the train around dawn, the leaders of the separate groups should run checks on everyone that's signed up. Natives will help dish out a simple weapon to those without their own that want one, medical supplies to the healers and a simple kit for everyone else, and a simple mask with strict instructions to put them on as soon as the kingdom is within sight. After everyone is geared up and boarded, Odin's spies will set out on horseback first, masks already in place, to clear the path ahead. This gives you a five hour train ride to go over strategies and coordinate with your fellow Travellers and the Asgard natives that have joined the ranks.

As the train crosses the halfway mark between Asgard and Alfheim, the dark black clouds of smoke and ash will sprawl across the horizon and thicken the air, prompting early placement of the gas masks as a precautionary measure. It's a short trip from there, and once the train has stopped, it's time to get to work. The homes and buildings of Alfheim will be in varying states of disarray and ruin, some still burning as the inhabitants and neighbours struggle to douse the flames. Others will be smouldering, successfully saved or otherwise left to burn itself out in the days since the initial attack. There will still be Fire Giants sparsely wreaking havoc amongst the living quarters, but the vast majority of the fighting will have been drawn into the treeline by the Elves to give room for relief efforts and any evacuation attempts. Homes and larger buildings still largely intact will have been turned into temporary hospital rooms or safe houses for the young and incapable of fighting, with the injured laid out anywhere there is room; the dead will be wrapped in sodden sheets in the alleys between buildings until they can be properly buried - if ever they should find the opportunity.

This leaves the Travellers to split up and jump head first into their tasks. The Elves will be pleasantly surprised and immensely grateful for the arrival of aid, but they will not spare much time to gratitude when the battle wages and every second counts. Those fighting will immediately accept the Travellers into their defence, and from there, they will begin to push back against the Giants' forces. At this point, it will be largely defensive combat, an attempt to keep the Giants from moving further into the kingdom and setting more to flames. Surt himself will be present in this, and a vast majority of those that try to stand against him will be met with a heavy hand. Move carefully, Travellers, for there is still fight left in these desperate Giants.

Day 388/389 ( Jan. 14-17 )
By early morning, just as the Sun is beginning to rise, the Travellers will receive some support from their patron deities back in Asgard. For the next two days, they will have their House Powers to give them that extra edge on the battlefield. Another surprise will arrive as well, as the trees themselves seem to move through the battlefield to push back the Giants. The Treepeople will have arrived, many of whom direct their efforts towards the support group to help control the flames while others exact their grief and anger on the enemy forces that still linger around. These beings are the oldest in Yggdrasil, second only to the immortals, and strongly resemble their respective forests, but they are strong and firmly rooted in the Mother's survival.

They will fight alongside the Travellers until they are cut down or the battle is won, which it seems it will be when the flames begin to significantly dwindle nearing sunrise on Day 389. From that point onward, those fighting for Alfheim will rise to the offence and the Giants will begin to fall back as their numbers lessen and their advantage wanes. They will begin fleeing the kingdom, leaving Surt with only his loyalists at his side - and against the might of the Travellers and the Elves emboldened by their allies' support, they few will not be enough to claim the entire kingdom.

Day 390 ( Jan. 18-19 )
The Travellers' House Powers will fade before sunrise, but between the combined strengths of them, the Elves, and the Treepeople, they will still quickly overpower Surt's remaining forces and send them scurrying back to their ruined kingdom of Muspellheim. Surt will leave weary and more furious than ever at his failure, but he knows too that to stand alone would be his downfall. The battle is won, but the damage has been great and there is little time for celebration. The Travellers will be given the most sincere gratitude from the people of Alfheim, and sent back home with packs of food and supplies to patch themselves up before they arrive back in Asgard as the loyal and true allies to Yggdrasil and her children.

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Bad Moon Rising: Week Four
When: Days 330-334 ( September 20-30 )
Where: All across the city.
Rating: PG-13, with a warning for death. Anything higher or very graphic should be taken to a private log, please.

[ Things have suddenly hit a breaking point. Anyone left on the city is still on edge, hallucinating, having trouble sleeping. The Natives of the city are paranoid and terrified, since more of them seem to die every day. The gods have announced that some Travelers are more tainted than others, and that to cleanse their souls, that they must be killed.

On the night of Day 330, things hit their breaking point. The nine chosen by Thiazi and Corrupted finally cross a final threshold, and the tainted magic takes complete hold of them. Their god powers are gone -- they are focused now with simply attacking the city, and they are no longer attempting to hide who they are. ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for Week 4 of the Bad Moon Rising event! Characters are still experiencing vivid hallucinations, sleepwalking, and fugue states -- but the attacks on the city that had been happening at night are now happening during the day.

The corrupted must be killed for their souls to be cleansed.

There will be two sections of mod-headers for this log: one will be threads of the corrupted just attacking the city, and will not be the threads where they die.

The other headers will be where characters in the city (eg, everyone still in Asgard and not corrupted!) will have the chance to kill those attacking. There are no signups for this, and unless otherwise noted by the character, these are a free-for-all.

Other than that, feel free to make your own headers if you want to thread out the events of the week without encountering the corrupted! Simply make sure to include LOCATION and OPEN/CLOSED in the subject. Thanks, and please let us know if you have any questions!! ]

Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ You've been on edge. Inexplicably, so far as you can tell in the moments after those short bouts of quick, sharp anger you've experienced in the past few days - but maybe it's simply stress from the recent attacks on the city. Perhaps some rest will help, or a nice day at Folkvang to decompress and gather yourself.

Whatever you try, though, the odd feeling of being off stubbornly lingers on. Anger is joined by discomfort, the shadows in the corners of the room just a little bit darker than usual and did you see something dart down that alley way? The hallucinations creep into every day activities, paranoia and snappishness leading to insomnia and sleep deprivation. Try as you may to ignore it, the symptoms only seem to escalate over time. Maybe it's stress. Maybe it's something else entirely.

But it's stubbornly lingering on. Perhaps some rest will help ... ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for Week 2 of the Bad Moon Rising event! Characters will start experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations alongside vivid violent thoughts at strange, innocuous moments. Some characters may start sleep walking and heading towards the Gate of Fog; none will make it, however, so lock your doors and keep an eye on your friends. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] along with the time/location in your comment titles. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! ]

What: Reading. Roof-running. Recruitment. Other words that start with R.
When: Day 315
Where: All over

[Altaïr's actions have led to the deaths of many men, but none of their ghosts have ever come back to haunt him—illusions cast by the Apple of Eden do not count, in his opinion. So the assaults of the reapers have been...unsettling, to say the least. Especially when he cannot dispatch them with a blade as easily as he could a mortal man.

But there's work to do, and he's not about to cower in his quarters and hide from the phantoms.

They never look to see me fly, so I never have to lie )
