MOD POST: JULY EVENTS + TAKEN LIST
Hey everyone! It's that time again: the monthly event rundown!
As usual, first we have a couple other things to cover.
1. As a reminder: Activity Check goes up on the 26 and Reserves are already open!
2. We've made a decision about the canon point field! We'll be changing the table template to incorporate canon point and look a bit cleaner in the next day. At that point, we'll be asking all players to comment to be added again. However to make things easier on everyone, we'll include the form in the AC post! That way it'll all be in one place and it'll be easier to remember to fill it out. That should streamline things for everyone. We'll also place the new form on the new taken page so that incoming characters in the July round will be good to go.
And now for the events! July is a busy month and the last month before the overarcing plot kicks in a bit more for awhile, but the events are lighthearted and easy to skip for the most part, so don't panic!
On Day 107 / July 3-4, characters will wake to find themselves a little different... on their faces at least. Characters who normally sport a beard will find themselves clean-shaven without the slightest sign of stubble. Characters who normally don't have one will find themselves granted a beard that won't go away. Cut it and it grows back within seconds! This can be any kind of beard from a landing strip to a floor-length curtain, but it will be stuck there all day. Mustaches may be included as well! If your character has a mustache and no beard normally, it's up to you whether to add a beard or remove the mustache. This event applies even to girls and little kids -- everyone! It is also 100% opt-in. In other words, your characters don't have to be effected unless you want them to be!
Some beard type references can be found here and here!
On Day 109 / July 7-8, a few characters are running an IC effort to beautify the city after the flood destroyed low vegetation. This is a player miniplot, and details can be found here! Please direct questions to that post and the muns running the miniplot.
On Day 111-Day 113 / July 11-15, it's time for another House Contest! This time, the open grass area of Gefion Park will be set up like a middle school field day or sports festival event! Participation is optional, but should characters choose to join in on the fun they'll be able to compete in nine different events throughout the three days. The events will be space so that everyone could participate in all of them if they so wished, and are themed on the Gods. The thing is, they aren't all typical sports events... things might get a little weird!
There will be a large sign displaying the prizes for winning events. The individual winner of each event will receive their choice of either a closet-full of nice clothes to their taste (brands and style from home allowed) or a lifetime supply of nice food to their taste (things from home again allowed -- the food would appear in the Welcome Hall kitchen only for them, or in their home if they have paid housing). The second place winners will receive their choice of a free day at Folkvang or a voucher for up to two gold runes (roughly $200) at Sky's Prize. These businesses are described here!
Beyond that, the House that gets the most win points (each first place winner counts for two points and each second place counts for one) will be the total "winner" of the event! The prize for the winning House is also on the sign and will be each character's choice of: a pet (dog, cat, or rabbit) or non-motor transportation (a bicycle, roller blades, or skateboard -- all very high quality and impervious to damage).
The events will take place three each over the three days of the event. On the nights in between, there will be live music, dancing, and feasting. The events are as follows, with more details to come in the log at event time:
Day 111: Odin, Thor, Loki events:
Spelling Bee: just like grade school!
Drinking Contest: the last one sitting straight wins!
Disguise Contest: NPC judges determine who looks least like themselves!
Day 112: Sigyn, Hel, Heimdall events:
Hot-dog eating Contest: who can eat the most?
Battle Royale: last person unbloodied wins!
Obstacle Course: race to the finish!
Day 113: Freyr, Freya, Baldr events:
Talent Show: NPC judges choose the winners!
Beauty Pageant: NPC judges pick the prettiest Travellers!
Arm Wrestling Tournament: show off your guns!
All characters are welcome in any event. Which events you participate in are not at all determined by your House. Characters who live in Paid Housing and win events still have their points credited to the House their powers come from, and wins can't be donated to other Houses. Winners will be determined by checking into this mod comment and asking to be granted the win. You may sign up any time before July 11 no matter how many others have! We'll do our best to be fair and determine the winners by a combo of randomization and likelihood to win given their abilities. We're sorry they have to be chosen in advance, but it's for clarity's sake.
On Day 118-119 / July 25-28, you'll find Loki's pulled another prank on everyone. Travellers will wake up in one another's bodies, as if their minds have been swapped! This is a standard body swap event! Characters will swap in pairs (as in if Alan Wake were to wake up as Conan Edogawa, Conan would have to wake up as Alan). However for maximum fun, you may optionally have your character switch with a different person for each IC day (for up to two swaps total: one July 25-26, one July 27-28). All swaps must be between Travellers -- no NPCs or pets allowed. Beyond that, it's entirely up to you what happens! This event is all 100% opt-in.
That's it for this month! Questions should be directed to the mod comments below as usual!

Also they don't have a calendar here, so you might just make Hisao think that her birthday comes around this period in summer... idk.
no subject
He just likes buying her stuff I guess idkno subject
Yes Hisao, buy her all the things and she might fall in love with youYeah, it was such a short time... but idk I want to do something. It helps that she just got to level 3 today, so she might be a little better about birthdays. I dunno yet.
no subject
Clearly this is the best plan. It's lucky she basically won him all that gold then. =DbThat is cool we don't need a real reason, we do what we want.
Hopefully she'll be better about it, at least a little. Outwardly she seemed OK at the small birthday party with Lilly and Akira so Hisao figures it's OK. He will be pretty sad if it turns out he's done something awful. XD
no subject
The best way to woo her is through money obviouslyHaha she will be better... just, there needs to be another reason why they might have a party- like, arbor day being successful. She will be very happy by then, and the birthday might be just a minor setback. Like, in canon they made the party also to sort of celebrate Lilly's departure to Scotland for those two weeks lol
no subject
Hanako you gold diggerThat's true - He could make it a party to celebrate both things. That would make a little more sense.
