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. ]

Who: Jack Frost, the children of Asgard and YOU!
What: Bringing color to the city... literally.
When: Days 288+289.
Where: All over, but especially the gray areas.
Rating: PG don't you dare to do anything in front of the kids or there will be one angry Guardian

[So after one week of exploring and learning, and another week of war, Jack is finally calming down a little. It's time for the acceptance phase of... whatever this may be. The trip to the cold lands was a quick ticket to that phase, to be fair. He now understands he isn't the same anymore without the need of spending a month or two brooding.

Thanks to that, with no more distractions, now he's fully aware of the fact that everyone can see him here. Why hasn't he taken advantage of that yet? It's a dream come true! Fuck the gods, fuck the war, he's staying here and playing with the kids.

And that's what he's doing right now.

The gray kids break his heart. It's such a sad sight, it makes him want to punch something. Thankfully there are a good amount of colored children too, so between them and him, they help the gray kids to tag along. The best part? The parents are delighted with the way Jack takes care of all the little ones, so he's getting a bit of money for it. It's a win-win situation.

Today, Jack and his little army are coloring! ...coloring the walls and floors of the city, that is. That's what the gods want, right? Color. Then here they have it: doodles made of crayon all over the place. Something that looks like "the frost giants versus the travelers" can be recognized in the pictures drawn by the older kids. As much as he hated the trip, Jack doesn't mind telling them the Epic Tale of the Battle in the Cold Lands (leaving the gory details out, of course).

Wanna join? Ask what's going on? Go ahead - just don't scare the children, and Jack may give you a chance.]

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Dokidoki Bishounen Return!
When: Day 286 ( June 26 - 27 )
Where: All across the city.
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ Three days after the revival of Freyr's "failure," yet another pulse will vibrate across the land as in the last time. It will start from the north and travel south, only this time, instead of simply shaking the plantlife, everything will violently bloom all across the city. Petals and leaves will suddenly blossom in abundance, some bursting free from their buds to rain down onto grass that seems just a little bit greener.

In fact, everything seems a little bit brighter. The Sun shines clearer, the sky is a cleaner blue, and even a few Natives recover colour faster than is the norm. Travellers will experience the same heavy beat within their chests as in the last time, but this time will be coupled with a temporary power boost! For this day and this day alone, everyone will be capable of one step above Level 3 as detailed here. These effects are temporary and will return to their normal state at the end of Day 286. They also are not without cause!

Several hours after the shockwave hits the city, the Gate of Fire opens and in walks those that were missed so dearly over the past few months: Freyr and Freya, hand in hand and looking somewhat worse for wear but one hundred percent, undoubtedly alive. With the return of life came the return of life, which leaves the scenery all across Yggdrasil to proudly announce Asgard's success in reviving their own. Take pride in your accomplishment, Travellers, as it is one never before achieved - though how the returned gods are received is up to you. ]

[ OOC NOTE: This is the mingle log for the Dokidoki Bishounen Return event! Please put the time/location in the title of your comment along with [OPEN/CLOSED]. NPCs will be hanging out for a bit but not terribly long, as Freyr’s still getting over his minor case of the deadsies and Freya has some disciplinary actions waiting for her in the castle. Feel free to ping us or their handlers if you’d like them to pop into a thread for a bit. If you have any questions or need any clarification on the temporary power boosts, please do not hesitate to ask! ]

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?]
