[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for October's opt-out event, Nature & Nurture. There is a world map here for reference of where the Travellers are going; they'll be in that last clutter of trees in the direction of Mirror Lake. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] in the title of your comment along with the date/location. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! ]

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! ]

OVERFLOW LOG

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Bad Moon Rising: Week Three
When: Days 327-329 ( September 16-21 )
Where: All across the city.
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ Things have only gotten worse as the days have marched on. You are now beginning to lose time: one moment, you may be eating dinner before you find yourself standing over your shattered plate on the ground, with no memory of how this happened. The hallucinations are getting worse, and weirder and weirder things are starting to happen in the city. The weather is getting cooler, and as nightly attacks on the city begin, even the Natives seem paranoid and mistrusting. The symptoms listed in the plot doc effect EVERYONE in the city, not just the corrupted.

It seems as if new disasters happen daily. How are you handling it, and what are you going to do about it? ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for Week 3 of the Bad Moon Rising event! Here your character can deal with the effects of the event or react to the nightly attacks on the city. Please keep an eye on this - it will be updated either daily or when new information becomes relevant. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] along with the time/location in your comment titles. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! The calendar can be found HERE for easy IC date reference. ]

CHARACTERS IN THE VANAHEIM OPT-OUT EVENT CAN FIND THE LOG HERE.

Who: EVERYONE
What: The Fruits of Our Labor special event!
When: Days 322 & 323 (September 6-9)
Where: All across the city
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than this should be taken to a private log, please!

[ Starting Day 322 (September 6/7), Travelers in the city will notice apple trees of varying sizes springing up all over the city -- and we do mean all over, as while most of these trees will appear outside, some may show up unexpectedly in a bedroom or right in the middle of a shop! While some are quite small (and others incredibly large!), none of them will cause any actual damage. The branches of the trees will hang heavy with multicolored fruit, and the trunk of each tree has the following words written clearly into the bark: Choose Wisely. ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for the Fruits of Our Labor event! Please see the linked post for details about the event, such as which apple does what and how to get approval on items from home. Threads can take place in traditional prose or in [brackets]; it's all up to you! Otherwise, please be sure to include your character's location(s) and [OPEN/CLOSED] in the subject line and 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 319 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 275 - 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 September! If you're ICly introing during an event, make sure you take that into account. Thank you!

Have fun!]
