EVENT | ALL HALLOWED

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Oct 27th - Nov 2nd
Location: The City of Keeliai
Situation: The kedan have decided to participate in an Earth tradition: Hallowe'en! But there are other mysterious things afoot this holiday and when people start disappearing they'll have to find a way to reverse the effect... though all of their selves might not make it back.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As the weather turns crisper, the nights and mornings carry with them a hint of chill promising cooler days to come, the month starts drawing to a close. This is a pleasant time, soon to be the season of harvest even on such a nomad as Tu Vishan. Yet the relations with the kedan have been good lately and even the Emperor's latest warning has not dampened the resilience of her people (both willing citizens and not) and so today marks a new tradition to Keeliai and it starts with receiving a simple, handwritten invitation.

"Come and celebrate the Keeliai of ages past..."



OOC: See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. Feel free to start your own thread header if none suit, or make your own logs for various threadings... this is just for a central post for the event. Any questions can be directed HERE. Thank you!

NOTE: NPC tagging will be mostly in the Palace Rewards and Touch of Memory threads unless specifically requested elsewhere! Normal rules for players writing NPC interactions remains the same as always.

MID PLOT UPDATE!
Through the course of investigations will be discovered that every Foreigner who went trick or treating has acquired themselves at least one pot of what appears to be iridescent paint, sometimes more than one. Experimenting with these pots (because lbr who doesn't want a few randomly shimmery possessions) oddly enough lets ghosted characters interact with them completely solidly. Which, if you've inadvertently been ignoring someone, might mean you get your new shiny lamp thrown at your head.

Now if people get the smart idea to the paint the paint, that would let ghosted characters get hold of this stuff themselves...

TL;DR - Ghosted characters can paint themselves back into phase. Eating the stuff is also acceptable.

[Jehan is confused by this holiday. So very confused. He knows that it is All Hallow's Eve, but what is this "trick or treating" going on?

The future is strange.

He's largely ignoring the festival goers (though one of the restaurants was offering free bags of baked apple slices which he did get) when he notices the giant of a man in the middle of the city]


Are you alright, monsieur?

[Thor is still not yet too worried about his brother's lack of being anywhere. He's looking over the tops of the crowds, definitely distracted as he searches.]

I seek my brother. A child, likely dressed in black and green. He would answer to the name of Loki.
poeticverses: (Stunned)

I am sorry, but I do not think that tonight is the best night to locate a child by their clothing. Everyone is in costume. What does he look like? Perhaps I've seen him.

He is around yea-high- [He gestures.]

Has black hair, green eyes, and you will likely have seen him embroiled in mischief of some kind. I am told he came to partake of the festivities, but I have been unable to sense his presence at all.

[Jehan frowns]

I am sorry, I've not seen anyone like that. But, ah, pardon--what do you mean, sense his presence?

[Thor frowns.]

Have you any magical ability of your own? [He can't sense any, but there are so many worlds here it's more polite to ask than to be overly rude.]
poeticverses: (Drink With Me)

[Oh right. That's a Thing here, isn't it? You would think that after the dragons...Jehan shakes his head]

No, I am merely a Romantic. No magic or anything of the sort.
ofmyth: (02)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2013-10-30 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[Once he is settled he is doing a PSA on magic and you: how being a god works.]

Those with magic leave a unique impression in the unseen dimension in which magic and the like exist. Just as you know and can recognize the shape of your friends, so I have been looking for the shape of my brother there.

[And he'll pre-empt your next question.] There are many magic users here, but only one God of Mischief. Such impressions are hard to disguise.

[Smart god]

I see. Regrettably, if your magic cannot find him I...do not see how my mundane eyes will fare any better. If I do see someone matching that description, however, who should say is looking for him?

Thor, God of Thunder.

[No point confusing the Romantic human in specifying which of the two Thors it was. So long as one of them found out.]

...I thought the god of thunder was Jupiter, or perhaps Zeus.

[Sorry, he had the Greek gods. He's never heard of the Norse]

Ah, I am Jean Prouvaire, late of Paris.
ofmyth: (12)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2013-10-30 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Zeus claims that title also, though he and his family have less to do with the affairs of mortals now-a-days. He will be pleased to hear that humans still remember his name.

[Have a gentle(ish) pat on the shoulder in greeting.]

Well met, Jean Prouvaire, of Paris.
poeticverses: (Focused)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-10-30 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[The only reason Jehan can stand the not-so-gentle pat is because of Bahorel. He just smiles]

It is very nice to meet you, Mon...[Wait, what do you call a god? "Monsieur" seems rude and "Dieu" is just sacrilegious]...ah, Thor.
ofmyth: (13)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2013-10-30 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a slight hint of a smile.] Monsieur Thor is acceptable.
