Who: EVERYONE in the real Asgard
What: A House Divided mingle log for those in the real Asgard. The log for the mirror-Asgard is here.
When: Days 359 - Day 364 ( Nov. 19 - 30 )
Where: the real Asgard, all across the city
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ All through the morning of Day 359, things will seem largely as normal in the Holy City, aside from the murders occurring in various places across the districts. Small flocks of crows can be found hanging out in seemingly random places, either sitting around each other or flying in circles or other general bird business. They aren't terribly disruptive, unless their typical crowing is an unforgivable slight against you. Shooting or attacking the birds will kill them in a most peculiar way: they will shatter into shards of ice that immediately melt into the ground. Odd. By evening of the same day, all will still be as it should be on the surface, but those that look outside will see a bright blue beacon of light shooting into the clouds to the south of the city.

Doubly odd.

When the Travellers wake up the next morning ( Day 360 ), things will still seem the same but with a few missing masses. Some of your fellow Travellers seem to have vanished over the course of the evening. Have they gone home? Did they make another impromptu trip to hippie town? No one can say for sure, but it is certainly odd, and they say strange things come in threes, right?

Wrong! By the time the sun starts setting and shadows start covering the city, those very same shadows will take on a life of their own to swallow up yours. They will become wicked and monstrous, attempting to grab their Traveller and pull them down to the ground - and then through it to the mirror!verse. Loki posts to the network with a first person account that this is not the only place it's happening. Mirrors and other reflective surfaces will behave in the same way, with the Travellers' reflections twisting away from their original forms to pull those forms through the looking glass. This will not happen all at once but rather sporadically, and will continue to happen until Day 364 before the event's conclusion. The blue light can still be seen by evening, but the only answer it holds is that something is brewing in the direction of Thrymheim. Where is everyone going?

Things seem bad enough with people being outright sucked into gods-know-where, but everything changes when the Fire Nation attacks. On Day 361, a fleet from Muspellheim will descend upon the city and start attacking outright with no hint or notice that they might know what's already happening to the Travellers - because they don't. Surt's attack overlaps Thiazi's spell, and the combination of the two starts to pull at the seams. Somewhere in the city during the fighting, someone will stumble upon one of the mirrors that hosts Thiazi's spell. It will spill out to suck everyone nearby into the mirror!verse, including the Fire Giants. The light above Thrymheim is still glowing strong, but anyone paying close enough attention will see it flicker just the once before returning to full glow.

By the time Day 362 rolls around, things will be so chaotic that even Thiazi and Surt struggle to make sense of things. The Fire Giants in the city will continue to attack, though now more desperate and confused and growing moreso every time another mirror is broken and more people are lost to the mirror!verse. Something is quite visibly not right, a fact reinforced by the beacon of light flickering unstably at night as Thiazi's spell suffers under the strain.

Day 363 brings no good tidings to the state of things when Thiazi's Frost Giants descend upon the city - to attack the Fire Giants still roaming around. Travellers will be caught in the middle of an elemental dispute, though both eyes will be on them as an afterthought. Everyone is fighting everyone, more mirrors are breaking and sending more people into the mirror!verse, and in a last bid for a speedy resolution, the gods offer the Travellers a choice.

What could possibly be the thrilling conclusion to this epic clusterfuck? Only time will tell! ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for characters in the real Asgard at any point during the A House Divided event. The mingle log for the mirror!verse is over here. Links will be edited in as those posts go up, they're placeholders for now. The event's conclusion will be announced on November 27 because we want you on your toes for this one! Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] in the title of your comment along with the day/location. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

Who: Newbies and anyone who wishes to greet them!
What: Getting used to the city
When: Days 351 and forward
Where: Anywhere in town!
Rating: PG-13 tops! If it gets worse, move to a private log please.

[Please include your location and the IC day (ex. Day 353 - this can be found in the schedule) in your top-level comment or your subject line when starting a thread! It can be any welcome hall, major attraction, or just out an about in any district. For newbies making a top-level thread, you may include your character's name/canon/house in your subject line if you'd like, to make housemates easy to find! :) If a God is needed or wanted, please ping the mods and depending on availability we might be able to throw them in where asked.

Also, keep an eye on the event schedule for November! If you're ICly introing during an event, make sure you take that into account. Thank you!

Have fun!]

Who: Alexis and Hiccup.
What: An unexpected library meeting.
When: Day 162, afternoon.
Where: The Odin library.
Rating: I don't anticipate this going beyond PG, if that. But I'll edit as needed.

( Read more )

Who: Richard Castle and anyone who would like to take refuge in the library during The Darkness.
What: Probably lots of worrying. And fear. And angst.
When: Afternoon of 130 - 131.
Where: The Great Library, Odin District.
Rating: PG-13. Anyone wanting to take it beyond that should make a separate log, I suppose.

( I never knew daylight could be so violent )

[ooc. Here's how I'm thinking this could work: Option 1) Your character was already in the library when Castle decided to batten down the hatches. Option 2) Your character hears his message over the network (which I'm about to make) and comes to take shelter. Feel free to treat this as gathering style if you want, and you can also put the day in the subject title if the spirit moves you to do so. Otherwise, have at it!]

Who: THOSE CHARACTERS WHO OPTED OUT OF THE DARKNESS EVENT, or also those who didn't but are taking refuge later on!
What: Chilling and shenanigans in the shelter while everyone else gets horribly killed outside, yaaaay!
When: During the whole event, so... day 128-131.
Where: A random shelter somewhere over the rainbow.
Rating: Let's go with PG-13 for safety reasons. Anything above should be placed in another locked log!

This is a catch-all log for everyone who decided to spare their characters from horrible deaths or possessions or what have you. Someone saved your ass from dem monsters or pulled you out of your cozy room and stuffed you in a shelter where you're going to stay for God knows how long, until the threat is gone. You can get your character to come in at any day of the event, it's not only for those who opted out.

Please put the day your character is staying here in the subject line! For the sake of keeping things neat.

Have fun!

Who: ERRYONE IN ASGARD
What: The Darkness Plot!
When: Day 131, all night of it (since lol no day)
Where: EVERYWHERE

[...

There should be light. The sun should have been up hours ago. But it's still dark. And it's getting worse. On top of your usual troubles, tornadoes have started to spawn in the city and throw things asunder, while the Taken, ravens, and poltergeists are still in a frenzy looking for victims.

This isn't some lackadaisy attack- this is meant for an all-out war. And the more people that fall, the easier it will be to take the city. Stand strong, Asgardians, this is your toughest challenge yet.

And if you live to see the end of it, the sun will be your reward for your cunning and survival.]
