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.

Yes: it is in the little bags which the kedan have been handing out, as part of this festival they are celebrating. Evidently it is for All Hallow's Eve, though it is not any way of celebrating it I have known.

[With the utmost care, he picks one of the wriggling bags up between two razor-sharp claws. A pause before he offers, a little uncertainly:] Would you like to try some?

[Squid for Al Hallow's? That makes little sense to Thor either. But then again- this is a different world. Anything might be possible here, especially given a dragon which espouses education and good behaviour.

Thor hesitates as well at the offer. It is one thing to accept that a dragon is not about to slaughter them all right at this moment. It is another to accept food from it and make polite conversation.

But what is it to live, if one does not also learn at the same time?]


I thank you, I should be honoured. He bows politely, though not enough to leave himself exposed to those claws, then takes the bag very gently.]
dracobin: (taken aback)

[Temeraire, for his part, only watches a little anxiously as Thor takes the bag.]

You will wish to chew it, until it stops wiggling: it will tickle on the way down, otherwise.

[Though Thor prefers his meat hunted, he's no stranger to seafood.

He chews. And chews. And chews. Nevertheless, it wriggles a little on the way down.]


It is good. [He's still on his toes, instincts born of experience making it hard to relax for the moment.]
dracobin: (uncertain)

[Temeraire has not untensed, either: he remains a little hunched, wings half-raised, as he nods uncertainly, that small peace offering made.]

There is more to be found in the local shops, if you ask.

[He has never been particularly good at subtletly: please go away now hangs in the air, as clear as if he had spoken them aloud.]

If I have time to spare, I shall do so.


[Thor is not quite as dense as his image suggests, and he understands the polite dragon's desire for this awkward conversation to end as soon as possible.]

I am pleased to have met you, dragon. Perhaps in the future I will be able to learn more of dragons on your world.
