OCTOBER EVENTS + ANNOUNCEMENTS

[asgardmods]

Hey all! It's Faith here, and it's been two months since my last rundown post, so please forgive any mistakes and inevitable tl;dr. Let's do this!

First, a warm and hearty welcome to Ana, Maddie, Toss, and TJ who joined the NPC helper team with Heimdall, Skuld, Ran, and Surt respectively! Look out for the first three in this month's special event as all of Asgard's friends come to hang out! Surt isn't invited because he's a jerk. Thanks for joining us, guys!

Second, last month's Holes event introduced Swear Toads that can now be found hopping around the lake in Gefion Park, swearing rudely in various languages. Thanks to Ryuuto for the submission! Remember that we will be introducing a new item or feature from canon worlds every month, so submit your canon features in the appropriate comment section below and track the !holes tag for more information on these plots!

And that's it for this month! After the beast that was September's plot, we're making October a little less plot heavy and lot more silly with a player plot and optional plot for later in the month. As always, your schedule can be found here!

At the very start of the month, Asgard is going to be visited by a few party crashers! Those of you that went to Vanaheim might remember Mimir and Honir, the gods that currently reside in Vanaheim as part of the peace agreement that traded their places with Freyr and Freya. Honir was delighted to meet some of the Travellers and wanted to see the rest of them; Mimir humours Honir ( read as: he's a pushover ).

The god of travel, eager to make their triumphant return to their homes after several thousand years away, also heard how difficult a time the Travellers had last week, and has thusly gone maybe a bit overboard in the celebrations. From Days 338-343 ( Oct. 8-17 ), there will be a five-day, all-night festival in the castle courtyard! NPCs will be setting up booths for food and attractions and all of the gods will be about as well! And I do mean all of the gods; Honir sent messages to all of Asgard's friends and allies to invite them into the Holy City for the biggest party of the year. Friends from out of town will be about as well as Asgard's Nine, so keep an eye out for your ( mostly ) benevolent world leaders!

For this festival, we are leaving things as open ended as possible and welcoming players to set up their own main attractions and featured events. For example, Rise Kujikawa will be hosting a dating auction! Sign-ups will ICly open on the first day of the event ( Oct. 8/9 ) and the dates will take place on the last day of the event ( Oct. 16/17 ). OOC sign-ups are open from now until Oct. 7 over here. We will make a directory for all of the player-run events so if you plan on hosting something, please respond to the top-level comment below so we can get you listed!

There will also be different themes for every day of this festival! Characters are by no means obligated to follow these themes but they may get popcorn thrown at them for being spoilsports. The themes for each day are as follows:

Day 338 ( Oct. 8/9 )

We are kicking off the festival with a costume party! Travellers will be welcomed and encouraged to wear any manner of costume from beautiful to outrageous to hilarious. Yggdrasil doesn't have a Halloween so we're cheating and letting people dress up here if they want to. Get creative and have fun with your costumes! If someone wants to moderate an IC costume contest, that would be hilarious and awesome and you should do it!

Day 339 ( Oct. 10/11 )

Partially as a way for the gods ( Honir ) to learn more about you guys and partially as a way for people that didn't get to go on the Vanaheim plot, the theme of the second day will be home away from home! NPCs will cook food from your home worlds and play music from your home worlds and all of it will seem 100% authentic! Travellers are encouraged to dress with their world/time's traditional clothing and introduce or perform something particular to their homes to teach others a bit of their own 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 Travellers' pillows.

We aren't doing approvals for these so please, limit yourselves to only three photographs!

Day 341 ( Oct. 14/15 )

Unofficial trick-or-treating! Because how could we possibly have a party in October without having candy? This one will be something of a house contest as well, though; 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 colours of their patron god - whether you wore the colour intentionally or not!

The gods themselves will also be hosting a game of sorts: each of Asgard's patrons and allies will have a riddle or trivia question for any Travellers that approach them. Answer these correctly and they will tie a token of their favour ( 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! The prizes are as follows:

• 1 - 4: A full basket of candies! Any sort of treat that can be considered a candy, from chocolates to Swedish fish. But no Archie comics!
• 5 - 8: A miniature fondue with endless chocolate falling in a simple but elegant fountain. No, you don't have to carry it home if you don't want to.
• 9 - 12: A small sum of money, roughly $60 USD. Don't spend it all at once!
• 13 - 15: A single question, a single honest answer from any of the gods. If there was ever anything you wanted to know or thought the gods lied about or even something about your home, now's pretty much your only chance to ask it. This will involve plotting with the NPC helper behind your chosen god, so we can figure that out when we get there.
• all 16: Three IC days of having the hypothetical "Level Four" House Powers. Information on those can be found in the Dokidoki Bishounen Return! plot event.

For these questions, we understand that you can OOCly read correct answers from previous threads but try not to let that bleed into IC knowledge, and please also try to remain IC about whether or not your character would answer correctly. This is a challenge for your characters!

For reference, every god / ally that you will have to find for these questions is as follows: Odin, Heimdall, Loki, Sigyn, Thor, Hel, Baldr, Freyr, Freya, Jorg, Fenrir, Honir, Mimir, Ran ( Queen of the Mermaids ), Skuld ( Queen of the Elves ), and Alberich ( King of the Dwarves ). Njord and Skadi aren't coming because they smell.

Day 342 ( Oct. 16/17 )

To end the festival on a high note, the gods will be welcoming Travellers inside the castle for a masquerade ball! There will be a fine feast in the banquet hall and a ballroom with live bands playing a variety of music for people to dance to. Maidstaff will be walking around with champagne for guests and there will be an open bar in the banquet room; please drink responsibly!

The gods will be gods, however, and it won't stop at that. This is the last day of their epic party; at the stroke of midnight, a small curse will hit everyone inside the castle barrier and the Travellers will be compelled to kiss their dates! This can be their date-auction dates, whomever they're dancing with at the time, their secret crush, or even everyone they came to the party with. The gods aren't picky about what defines a "date" this time around, so go crazy and pucker up!

There will be a catch-all log for this event with top-level headers for each day but you guys are welcome to make your own top-level headers or even your own logs. We'll make September up to you slowly but surely!

But not entirely just yet. Before dawn on Day 346 ( Oct. 24 ), an odd red light will appear in the sky in the general direction of Muspellheim. It's not the sun rising early and it's not a glow cloud, just a single, large streak across the sky that might look like a crack. Seconds after it appears, a rumbling sound will accompany a small earthquake that might break a few dishes or rattle anything not secured off of its perch, nothing terribly destructive. The earthquake lasts about three minutes.

From this point onward, all living creatures in Asgard will be mute. Can't even shout, can't even cry; the Gentlemen are coming by.

That's right! For our faux-Halloween event, we have a player plot from Buffy Summers ( called ). Those of you that aren't familiar with Buffyverse, Awbrey did an awesome job of explaining the Gentlemen in her plot request here and there is a wiki page on them here. Alternatively, you can watch the episode on Netflix! It's season 4, episode 10, entitled Hush. Basically, the Gentlemen steal the voices of everyone within range of their spell and then go around collecting hearts at night while no one can scream to let people know they're, y'know. Being killed horribly by monsters. Fun! They can be defeated, however, by breaking the box that holds everyone's voices and screaming in the presence of all seven Gentlemen at once.

Surt, having realised just how much Thiazi is acting without him, decided to pull his own little stunt by bringing in something horrible from one of the Travellers' worlds just to prove he's still a player in the war. Fortunately, Surt is also an idiot. Magic is not his strong point, and his spellwork to summon the Gentlemen is very crude and roughshod, based more on pure malevolent intent than actual skill. This means that the way the Gentlemen manifest in Asgard is a little bit different from Buffyverse canon.

There will still be seven of them and they will still go after seven victims, but they will only claim two hearts a night until the third night. On Day 348 ( Oct. 28/29 ), they will attempt to claim the last three hearts and will successfully get the first two. Before they can harvest the last one, however, the spell will be broken by the Travellers.

Instead of just one box containing the voices, there will be one box hidden in all nine districts. Travellers will have to work together to destroy them all; the last one will be found and broken right before the last victim can be killed. When the boxes are destroyed, they will release everyone's voices and the screams of their victims, which will ring throughout the entire city and explode the Gentlemen's heads. It will be messy and gross and the gods are so not cleaning up this one.

Some basic plot notes to explain how this will work!

Day One ( Day 346 / Oct. 24/25 ): A small earthquake rattles the city for three minutes. Everyone loses their voices. Two people will die late at night with their hearts cut from their chests.

Day Two ( Day 347 / Oct. 26/27 ): The bodies are found. Buffycast will do their best to explain the situation and people will start looking for the "box" only to realise there's more than one. Two more people will die.

Day Three ( Day 348 / Oct. 28/29 ): Two more people will die. The last box will be destroyed right as they're cutting into the third and final victim. Screams of the victims will be heard across the city and the Gentlemen will die.

• There will be sign-ups for the roles of the seven victims that will be chosen by RNG. Of the seven chosen, we will RNG again for the last victim that survives the attack and sees the Gentlemen explode. If your character has their heart cut out, they will not revive until Day 348 ( Oct. 28/29 ) after the spell is broken and the hearts are recovered from the Gentlemen.
• There will be unofficial sign-ups to break the boxes in every district. You can only sign-up to break one box, though it doesn't have to be in your district. Travellers will have to work together in teams and fight off the henchmen in order to get to the boxes. These sign-ups are unofficial because we aren't really putting a limit on how many people can join the teams, but you guys will have to plot together to find your box.
• Everyone is voiceless for this event. No screaming or coughing or anything of the sort. This applies to animals and possibly even the gods; if you try to ring them up, they won't be answering. Voices will return by late evening of Day 348 ( Oct. 29 ).

We will have another catch-all log for this event, but as always, you guys are welcome to get up to your own devices. Remember that your characters are voiceless, so get creative with how you're communicating across the city!

OPT-OUT FOR THE GENTLEMEN PLOT

Because we don't want everything to be awful forever, we're giving a super light-hearted and fun opt-out option for this plot to spare people another dose of horror. At some point during the festival, Honir will be telling Aladdin ( snugglesjugs ) about a cute little encampment of humans that live on the edge of Asgard's territory outside of the city. Aladdin will spread the word but you don't need to be shaded in ICly if you don't want to; Honir will also be excitedly leaving a trail in the dirt leading towards the camp that lights up with a dim purple colour when you look at it. Anyone and everyone is welcome to notice the path and follow it as they please.

In order to avoid the Gentlemen plot, however, all characters opting out will have to leave on Day 345 ( Oct. 22/23 ). I'm too lazy to rewrite this so I'm just gonna c/p the write-up I gave Dawn when she asked for some world-buildy travel things.

Within a day and a half's travel by foot, the Travellers will come upon a small, unnamed village - no more than maybe a few dozen residents of both humans and a few elves - that live on the edge of Asgard's forests in the direction of Mirror Lake. They are still within the gods' territory but aren't fond of the modernised civilisation, preferring to live off the land - and so the land lives with them. They find their food by hunting and gathering within the stretch of the trees ( careful not to venture too far, lest they encroach on Muspellheim's borders ), and only take as much as they need. While they may be somewhat secluded from the rest of society, they are certainly not alone out here; oftentimes as they're walking through the trees, the ripest fruit from the highest branches will be dropped down at their feet by creatures that always manage to flit past the naked eye the moment anyone tries to look upon them. The forest is inhabited by the Loljesker, sprites of the treetops that take kindly to those that respect their land and will be quick to drive out those that do not. They live peacefully alongside the village, helping them find food and shelter and sometimes even sending warnings before a particularly foul storm comes their way. The villagers help keep the forest healthy and clean in return, doing their part to give back to the earth every bit as much as they partake of it. The Travellers will be welcome to stay and rest with them awhile, but take care not to bring harm to any within these trees, as sprites are not particularly known for their benevolence.

Travellers will find the Asgardian hippies on Day 346 ( Oct. 24/25 ) and will be met with awe and wonder and a lot of warm hugs. They'll invite the Travellers to stay with them awhile, giving them blankets to stay warm and baskets to forage for food and whatever else they might need during their stay. They will be encouraged ( read as: gently forced ) to go back home on Day 348, arriving back in Asgard by Day 349 ( Oct. 30/31 ).

An optional mini-plot for this event ( cw: uninformed psuedo-drug use ): the first night in the encampment, the residents will cook up a modest feast for their guests and serve a special tea to anyone that wants it! This tea will have a mild hallucinogen in it that is also magical in nature: ten minutes after drinking the tea, Travellers will notice a glowing spectre nearby in the shape of an animal. Think like Harry Potter-verse patronuses, it'll be an animal that represents the character's true nature and will follow them around for the duration of the trip, kind of like their own personal daemon. Only the people that drank the tea can see them, and the daemons can mingle with each other the way their owners would without any of their inhibitions. For example, the daemon of someone that is hiding the fact that they like someone else might follow and rub noses with the daemon of the person that they like. The daemons will not be physical and cannot be touched by living creatures; they're basically light distortions. The tea will wear off by the time they leave on Day 348.

A catch-all log will go up for this log as well! We're trying to have minimal mod involvement so we'll leave NPCing the hippiefolk up to you guys.

And that's it for the month! I say as though this isn't a monstrously long post. Remember to fill out September AC and meet some new people on the Test Drive Meme. Leave any questions/comments/concerns in the comments section below and have a great October, guys!

Comments

MOD QUESTIONS: MISC

[asgardmods]

[2cool4guardian]

Quick question about the holes: can we play a bit with headcanon for this? We know there are lots of magical creatures from fairy tales in the RotG world but we're never actually shown in canon.

HOLES SUBMISSIONS

[asgardmods]

Want to introduce something quirky and horrible from your world into this one? Does your character need a reminder of why life is awful back home? Then this sure is the place for you!

Remember that the chosen feature will be made permanent in-game, so discuss it with your castmates and choose wisely! Submissions will be open until August 3, at which point only one will be accepted by RNG. Fill out the form below to give your suggestion:

<b>Player</b>: YOUR NAME <b>Character</b>: YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME <b>Canon</b>: YOUR CANON <b>Feature</b>: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BRING? Is it a monster? A series of terrible books? A plague that only affects rabbits? <b>Description</b>: DESCRIBE IT HERE. Use as much detail as necessary to give canon-blind folk a good idea of what they're up against! <b>Location</b>: WHERE SHOULD IT GO? Maybe you want them to roam the coast over in Salt-Side, or a small clutter of radioactive mould should grow in Pyro's shower. Give us suggestions; there's no guarantee we'll use them, but it will definitely be taken into consideration!

Submitting this again can't stop won't stop

[pushesgently]

Player: Jaina
Character: Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
Canon: Assassin's Creed (cast has jointly approved of this submission because we're silly)
Feature: A PLAGUE OF ANNOYANCE. See below.
Description: Beggars. Minstrels. Orphans.

OKAY, SO. In the Assassin's Creed games, the above civilians wander the map for the sole purpose of annoying the shit out of you. Like so. You can shove them, punch them, even stab them, but they will KEEP. COMING. BACK. Better plug your ears too, because they are alternately whiny, accompanied by terrible songs, or laugh really creepy laughs.

The AC cast thought it would be fun/annoying for the city to suddenly be flooded by these people. If we can only pick one, let's go for the minstrels—they'll even compose hilarious tunes catered specifically to your character's activities! Somehow they just know. They're not especially supernatural or dangerous, but they are annoying as shit and could contribute to a seriously aggravated mood in an overcrowded city.

Technically this might be bringing in a buttload of NPCs from other times, since they are theoretically real people, but they could just be shades or golems, or even computer constructs of the Animus that Desmond was placed in, only to be ripped out of their digital world and brought into Asgard.

Location: EVERYWHERE EVERWHERE EVERYWHERE. Personally, I'd love to see someone open their shower curtain and encounter a lute-strumming minstrel. But perhaps after an initial event, they could be mainly found in more appropriate places, like parks and such. I could narrow this down if this gets picked.

MOD QUESTIONS: LOOK, A DISTRACTION!

[asgardmods]

[pushesgently]

A question about the photos—I'd like Altaïr to get some photos of his baby son. I know that it says they can get them even if they never took them irl/didn't have the technology to do so, but can he still get photos of Darim even if he's never met him at his canon point? He just knows that he exists. (And Darim was once in the city as an adult, but Altaïr doesn't know that.) I can always bug Luce to have Maria get some pics if necessary, but I'd prefer for Altaïr to do it c:

MOD QUESTIONS: THE GENTLEMEN

[asgardmods]

[stakes]

I will also take questions :)

MOD QUESTIONS: NATURE & NURTURE

[asgardmods]

[sexyoldgirl]

Will those who go off to find the hippies be unable to contact anyone still within Asgard like it had been with the group that went off to Vanaheim?

[teenyoda]

Player: Harley
Character: Stiles Stilinski
Final Victim Pool?: Yes

NATURE & NURTURE: EVENT SIGN-UPS

[asgardmods]

Sign-ups for this event are not required! This is mostly just organisational to know how many people plan to go on the trip and for you guys to be able to plot with each other! Remember that if your character goes on this trip, they will not be able to participate in the Gentlemen plot!

Re: NATURE & NURTURE: EVENT SIGN-UPS

[black_panther]

Since I've already been a mean butt to Karui, I'm opting for this event. If anyone wants to do anything with her (she'll probably get a dark panther or something else if I think of something better) then just let me know. Interested in new CR, too!

let's plotting!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Pyro will be cursed for two days of the festival, and you'll see exactly what form that takes, but I'm still open to anything people would like to do with him! The curse isn't exactly a secret to anyone on my plurk list, but if you don't already know and want to plot something, I can give you the details so that you'll know just how insane he'll be.

RIGHT, and I guess I'm Skuld too, hahahaaaa. So she can do. things.

He will also be present for the Gentlemen, because it's time to traumatize him. I'm open to anything on that too, although I won't be signing him up for victim status because he was picked for a recent event. Want him on your team? You're crazy, but give it a try. Or anything else you can think of!

[discrepant]

Pyro and Soushi should go Gentlemen hunting together. It would be another nice way for them to bond and try to fight things other than each other. Plus, it would be fun if they could get competitive over who can find them first too, just saying. >D

[2cool4guardian]

FUCK YEAH MORE HONIR

err yeah that's the only thing i have to say oops

[asgardsflight]

he's comin 4 u


4 hugs. so many hugs.

[unrestrained]

Percy will be back and in full swing for the festival! He almost... might likely end up canon updated which will include all the terrible things because this book is designed to be the death of me |D SO HE WILL TRY AND BE HAPPY AND YEAH. If that happens. It probably will. But he will visit the renn fair and someone should sign him up for the date auction.

I'm also opting-out of the Gentlemen plot since my other game just had the exact same one. And I can't resist animal selves, I just can't. So if you want Percy there let us be drugged on tea and seeing things together.

[divinewisdom]

Only if Annabeth can win the date auction I mean

General plotting!

[pushesgently]

Festival fun — Let's have some fucking kebabs, y'all. Altaïr may also wear his traditional robes a bit more, minus visible knives. During the party, I believe he'll be 1/3 of a set of triplets because Caterina Sforza is a fucking troll and will be setting Ezio, Altaïr and Desmond to have basically the same outfit to go along with their samefaces.

Samhain celebration — Altaïr's getting baby pictures of his son, who he hasn't met yet, and will subsequently transform into the Syrian Maes Hughes. Who wants pictures?

He'll probably also be around for the Gentlemen plot but I haven't decided yet, hit me up if you have ideas either way.

[familyissues]

All the samefaces. :|

THE GENTLEMEN: DISTRICT SIGN-UPS

[asgardmods]

PRETEND I DIDN'T FORGET THIS ONE CRIES.

There is a box hidden in every district containing the voices of the city! Form teams to hunt those suckers down. Sign-ups will unofficially close on Tuesday, October 22 so that we can get in contact with every member of the team at the point to tell them where their box will be hidden.

Respond to the comment below for the district you want to team up with!

ODIN DISTRICT

[asgardmods]

Plotting!

[congeals]

OKAY I AM BACK ASGARD I PROMISE :'(

Bobby (congeals) will be going through The Gentlemen plot!

Meanwhile, Nina (imhome) will be part of the Opt-Out plot.

Also, they're both available for general plotting throughout the month of October!

Re: Plotting!

[discrepant]

You know, I still want Soushi and Bobby's first meeting to be hilariously disastrous. Can we plot for that to happen? C

[discrepant]

FOR FESTIVAL EVENT SHENANIGANS: Soushi will mostly likely visit the festival on the first day, but once he realized there is nothing of interest happening he will be ignoring the festival because he will be somewhat in a bad mood. Anyone can try to push him to have fun by forcing him to wear a costume of some kind because he will not wear one on the first day. That and whoever does not like to go to the festival, Soushi will set up a movie marathon with unlimited pizza and whatnot. It might be a thing, we'll see how it goes for the festival.

This month I would like for Soushi to meet new people and create new bonds as it is difficult for him to do anything alone. That's why, here is my request:

Who wants to be the awful person to sign him up to the dating auction and tell him the awful news that he has a date on the last day of the festival and will have to go? Yeah. I will need someone to totally ICly tell him the news. Then forcefully Troll convince him to go and even pull his ear over being nice about it? It can be anyone that has spoken to him once or his CR. I just want someone to push Soushi to go to the festival and stop being so anti-social.

If you do, Soushi will wear his demon form kimono with the mask in the top center and hat to cover his identity further. Yes. He will look terrifying...

FOR THE GENTLEMEN EVENT SHENANIGANS: Oh god, I think Soushi will love this plot with a passion of a thousand moons because DEMON HUNTING! Soushi will definitely wear his SS appearance for this event and will want to participate in the groups and all the fun stuff. If anyone wants to have an expert SS agent as meatshield or for protection, then let me know. His job as an SS will force him to protect anyone who asks for it and want to know as much as he can about the Gentlemen because they totally stole his style of clothing. C:

Anyway! Who wants to set up some kind of plan to warn people if the Gentlemen are in a specific area? Soushi might want to form some sort of emergency plan to do or better yet he might suggest it to the Buffy cast over it. Anyone interested in working on a plan?

[snugglesjugs]

So yeah there going to be a lot of magic things going on before Aladdin heads out for hippie land. Aladdin will be on full drive for the festival and you can guess where he'll be at the end of the month.

I do have a few other interesting things planned as well but I'm still open for lots of plotting.

[mulletrock]

fffffffff this entire post was exceptional. water u talking about, faithy.

ANYWAY. Mine. ;)

Dean:

Will be attending the festival, but not dressing up, he's not really the type to celebrate Halloween. He'll have Honir cook him burgers and apple pie and regret nothing. During the Samhain celebration which tbh he's pretty (unsure) about he'll tie Bobby and Ellen's name together on one ribbon, his parents on another, and Jess on one for Sam.

He won't be a part of the trick or treating, though. Still pretty full from taking advantage of the home away from home thing. When he goes to the masquerade it'll be in a t-shirt, denim shirt, and jeans because he can't be assed to put on a tux. No thanks.

During the Gentleman plot Dean will be an opt-out and will hang out with the hippies having hallucinogenic effects because frankly after being as involved as he was in the BMR plot I don't want to send him head first into another monster of the week type thing. He's gonna hang out under the stars and hoof it.

Leeloo:

Will probably need convincing of what to dress up as for the festival and will take part in all the activities and enjoy Honir's cooking trying everything he makes instead of just one thing from where she's from. She's not from anywhere, folks.

During Samhain, despite not understanding the rituals of it or what the holiday represents she will hang ribbons on the tree for Corben Dallas, Ruby Rod, and the Mondoshawans.

TRICK OR TREATING will be the most fun of all for her. She doesn't have a lot of experience with candy, period, so she'll be going around trying to get as much of it as she can and then be wound up afterward.

During the masquerade ball because she has nothing to dress in, she will solicit the help of of someone else to help her find something suitable to wear. This will be the first time anyone sees her without the half shirt, suspenders, and khakis.

Okayokayokay. During the Gentleman event she will be doing all she can to find out what's going on and be really uncomfortable being unable to express herself vocally. She may need someone to lean on? She'll be wanting to make sure everyone is safe and at the same time trying her best to evaluate and understand the situation. She's not very familiar with anything supernatural.

DATE AUCTION:

Leeloo and Dean both aren't really interested in signing themselves up but if your character wants to take that liberty for them they're more than welcome to. Dean will go along with it if he's bid on and won and take whoever manages to buy him out for the night. Leeloo won't get it, and will probably be a very terrible date. Sorry not sorry.

[lethechained]

Naminé will be partying hardy (by which I mean wallflowering) at any and all social events involved in this. I will prooooobably be keeping her in town for the Gentlemen plot, and other than that may or may not be a bit somber for day 340 because she done seen some crud and she's been in the city way too long to not have a lot of people to miss. Anyone's welcome to derp around with her at any of said social events, etc.

[occulthymns]

Euri will be hitting up that festival every day hard. I think she'll be getting photos of her mom, Kaz and Vanitas. She'll also be dealing with Pyro's curse for part of it so that will be fun.

I'm not sure whether to have her get involved in the Gentleman or the hippie plot, still deciding on that! But she will be available to sign people up for Rise's date auction!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Will she forgive him in time for the ball? Because BALL ;;

Think of what she could make him dress in as penance.

[badwolf]

Rose is ... holy shit I don't know. Thinking about sending her with the hippies for a while, but I do love a good horror-fest. And torturing my muses. So that's up in the air, at the moment.

Definitely hitting up the parties though. Costume ... We shall see. She might be a naval officer, she might show up as the Doctor it is a mystery !! Beans on toast? Hell yes, home away from home is gonna be right on the docket right now. Depending on who she's with, she will definitely be up for partying. It's been a while since she let loose, so maybe Dean she can get crunk again and party hard. Maybe. Might have to get Morgana and a few other lady friends a bit pissed, too. Yes.

Samhain... She'll probably put up Pete's name, for her world's version. Maybe a few names no one else will recognize from her time travelling. Might give her a photo of her family; one that includes Pete. Maybe. Hmmm.

Harriet Jones Former Prime Minister is also getting a ribbon.

Uhh. Masquerade is a go, and it will be Rose's first time in a dress since long before her arrival here in Asgard oops. Or maybe she'll try and sneak out in pants and just not dress up-- so someone's going to have to kick her backside and make her put on the frills.

[madcuriosity]

All the Brits with all the food.

[servesthehuman]

Owen is going to be a giant buzzkill because he is stuffy and British and doesn't do fun. Which means that somebody needs to force him into a dumb Halloween costume or something like that. He'll be around for most of the party events but will be hilariously stiff and kind of awkward and somebody teach this man how to have fun.

He will be in town for when the Gentlemen come because he just hasn't figured out yet that if someone offers a trip out of the city, you take it (plus I fucking love that episode)

[tigers]

owen gives the english a bad name

[timesnewroman]

Rory will only be attending the festival if he's made to go. Which he will be (have you seen the Doctor Who cast?). Can he just dress as a centurion forever tho I mean it's his go-to costume come on. If he can help it, he'll stick to doing quiet things tho. ALSO HE'S GROWN A BEARD OKAY THIS IS V IMPORTANT

Moran doesn't care just make everything English okay thx. Maybe he'll cobble together a Professor Moriarty costume just to give himself something to do. Don't be surprised if he comes onto the network asking for chalk to coat himself with. He'll want to be very authentic.

Ash is Ash idk what to do with Ash. I'm sure he'll be in full party mode and don his luchador mask and cape okay.

plotting is open yes yes good

[sexyoldgirl]

OF COURSE HE'LL BE MADE TO GO. If Amy and Eleven don't do it, then the TARDIS will.

And he can't be a centurion always. Pick something else. Like a museum security guard.

[albuquerque]

Even though Snape does not agree with me, I am going to make Snape go to some of these parties. I need the help of someone/several someones to cajole Snape into going! (Because he won't go of his own accord.)

So, costume party, Trick Or Treating, Samhain celebration, Masquerade Ball: who wants to drag Snape to these events? Bonus if someone somehow manages to make Snape actually dress up for any of them. Good luck with that, though, haha.

As for Samhain celebration, Snape will likely be getting photos of Dumbledore and himself. UNLESS HE CAN BE CREEPY AND PUT LILY'S NAME ON THE TREE AND GET PHOTOS OF HIMSELF WITH HER? I should ask about this, actually. Hmmm.

As for the Gentlemen plot, I've signed Snape up to be a victim who does not escape the attack. So, that'll be interesting.

[madcuriosity]

What do you mean who? Alice is dragging her teacher to aaaaaaaaalllll the things! She'll use Marigold to do it, if she has to.

general plotting: lily potter!

[dilectio]

Man, this is the vaguest plotting comment in the world, but I'm going to try and get Lily involved in BASICALLY EVERYTHING. So let me know here if you'd like to run into her at the costume party, or the masquerade ball, or during the Gentleman event! All three! Up for basically any kind of interaction! And she'll be drinking a ton of butterbeer during the home-away-from-home day, if anybody wants to try that and just shoot the shit with Lily. I'm kinda just looking to use this month to build new CR and such, so. Please! Anything- positive, negative, whatevuh. Gimme, gimme, gimme!

-- Actually, re: Gentlemen event, I'm not 100% sure I wanna have Lily go through horrors when there's a fuzzy opt-out, heh. If anybody would like patronus cute things, lemme know. Let's plot stuuuuff.

[madcuriosity]

I'd really like to try and make some CR between Alice and Lily. So how does at the costume party and ball sound? (Alice is headed off for the hippies)

[watchher]

Giles is open for plotting all month long! He'll willingly dress in a silly costume, though I haven't decided what it'll be.

He'll enjoy the familiar music at the home-away-from-home festival; I'm not sure yet what he'll do with Samhain. He is very in favor of trivia and free baskets of candy.

He'll avoid the date auction unless someone signs him up against his will or without his knowledge, which could be fun. As for the masquerade, he'll definitely wind up attending, so he's available for a dance or a kiss!

The Gentlemen are monsters from his canon, and Giles will recognize the signs of their arrival. Expect an exposition post from him once the event hits -- he'd be more than happy to discuss the threat with anyone who asks.

[albuquerque]

I want to CR Snape and Giles. I have simply decided it has to happen. I've put Snape's down for being one of the victims of the Gentlemen that doesn't survive the attack. Prior to that happening, though, Snape will get in on the dialogue with Giles about the Gentlemen and how to fight them, etc. If Snape isn't picked via RNG to be a victim (I think that's how that works?), he'll be getting in on the dialogue anyway. SO, YES.
