[EVENT|4TH WALL] THE NEWCOMERS’ ARRIVAL | APRIL 15-22
Characters: ALL and plus ones.
Date: April 15-22 2015 (2016 in-game)
Location: Farmlands outside the city walls, but this log can also be used for locations within the city.
Situation: Spring planting - fourth wall event, week one!
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.
The days for the festival dawn sunny if a bit chilly, but the air is clear and the soggy ground has dried enough that there isn’t too much mud in the lanes between fields and homesteads. The broad dirt path to the Woodsmen’s land leads past the tram-line construction, lined with waving ribbons on sticks along the sides. The Woodsmen’s territory circles the city, separated from the city’s walls by five hundred yards of neutral land.
The festival’s central area is Liangken’s Clearing, and this is where the festival will begin and end each day. Liangken is an ancient tree, among the oldest on the turtle’s back. Though it doesn’t flower or bear much in the way of leaves anymore, the kedan have cultivated it carefully and now it’s an excellent representation for the revitalisation of old wisdom.
The lanes between the fields and homesteads will house the stalls, contests and walking areas. The Woodsmen will be keeping an eye on these to prevent anyone from walking off the marked paths. The homesteads provide ‘hotspots’ in among the lanes and fields, with Woodsmen families lending their yards to the comfort and entertainment of their guests.
In general, the Woodsmen are a taciturn, soft-spoken lot who nevertheless take great pride in their work. Their lands are all but sacred -- they accept no attitude, no trespassing, no attempts to thwart their authority. This causes some noticeable tension with the Snakes, who are accustomed to being the sole enforcers within the city; but though there may be some ill tempers and raised voices, at no point will anyone come to blows. It’s hard to argue with someone built like a brick wall and carrying sharp farm implements.
The Woodsmen are a touch anxious about having strangers on their land and this shows in them being overly officious or bossy, but at the same time their pride shows clearly and they are eager to show off the state of their lands, their greenhouses, and their farming processes -- practically without being asked. The residents of Keeliai tend to think of the Woodsmen as ‘cowards’, and the Woodsmen are taking this opportunity to prove themselves otherwise with feats of strength and tall tales.
Due to the farmers’ hours of “early to bed and early to rise”, the festival ends in the early evening at sundown, but begins again before dawn -- usually by greeting the sun with a song.

Other NPCs can be requested by sending a PM to the appropriate journals directly, with the same guidelines.

Turning around, he fixes Deon with a look. "Not hallucinating?" He says, before laughing again, shaking his head. "Last I checked, I was in the hangar. Now, I'm in a country lane, looking at your sorry face."
He's going to fold his arms, looking at Deon, levely. "What about this situation isn't an hallucination, mate?"
no subject
"You were in the h--"
A hand goes to Deon's mouth.
"Vincent, what's the last thing you remember?"
If he's lucky, maybe - maybe - he can avert a catastrophe.
Sorry, Deon, that is not how this works.no subject
"I was headed to the hangar to put an end to your little Experiment. Once and for all." And he's going to shift to turn away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to it."
no subject
Will die, have died, are dying. He remembers how the Moose had murdered Amerika, hasn't murdered him.
"And you can't go back anyway. You're stuck here. Just listen to me!"
no subject
His laugh, this time, is more genuine.
"You're nothin' but a figment of my imagination, mate. I've fought off worse'n you." He sighs. "Look, just... piss off, will ya? Before I find out if there's a consequence to shooting my own hallucination."
And he's just going to turn to keep walking.
no subject
Being told he's a figment by the man who killed so many people, tried to kill him, and ruined his life? That fucking chafes, and Deon's blood boils.
When Vincent turns, Deon quite impulsively bitchslaps him on the back of the head.
Wait shit that was a bad idea.
no subject
He actually flinches. It stings... slightly. Vincent straightens, before turning... and a fist is coming straight for Deon's stomach.
no subject
He should really know better than to instigate with the guy who was trying to shoot him last time he saw him.
And the fist makes contact, and Deon doubles over, coughing, one hand instinctively going to his glasses to prevent them falling off his face. This is clearly not the first time he's been punched in the stomach. And now we know Vincent would hit a guy wearing glasses.
no subject
"Don't you ever touch me again." He snarls into the other man's ear. "You understand me?"
also whoops this whole thread should have a warning for chappie spoilers
"You killed Chappie's family," he growls, his voice hoarse, "you tried to kill me. I think I'm entitled to a little payback--"
And he swings wildly for Vincent's jaw.
Deon, you walnut.
no subject
"Big mistake, mate."
The voice is snarled, as Vincent just draws his gun, aiming it directly at Deon.
no subject
Aqua breaks into a run when Deon swings at the other man. What is going on? Only a few days ago he'd been bleeding out, disoriented and confused, and now this?
"Deon, what-" and then the gun is drawn.
It's no longer a simple physical scuffle, and though she has no idea why Deon is fighting the other he's suddenly in very real danger of being shot. Again. The run becomes an all-out sprint as the Master's Defender keyblade flashes into her hand. If she can just get between them in time....
She covers the last few feet with a cartwheel, casting the Barrier spell even as she lands upright.
no subject
(Hey, Aqua, life moves fast when you're surrounded by Tetravaal drama.)
Mostly, Deon's surprised that his wild swing hit. So he's a little stunned when Vincent spits pink - blood, I made him bleed, I did that - and he freezes, again, when confronted with the gun. His own is back in his room, and it wouldn't do him any good. Vincent's far quicker than he is.
The two men must make a pair, the same (tall) height but Vincent is all stocky and buff and Deon's a gangly mess of arms and legs. And there's no way Vincent doesn't have the upper hand.
Then suddenly Aqua cartwheels between them, and he thinks he's finally exhausted his surprise reserves - but he yells, getting ready to attempt to push her aside so she doesn't get shot in his place. He thinks of Yolandi, shot by Vincent's terrible creation; he doesn't want history to repeat itself.
no subject
Besides. This was a dream, right? No consequences. Take out some of his rage on this facsimilie of Wilson that his brain had conjoured up for whatever reason.
So, he's going to fire... Twice. Just as Aqua moves inbetween them. The bullets ricochet off of the barrier, falling off
no subject
Her stance shifts into preparation; should the need arise, she has more tricks up her sleeve to put a halt to this man's aggression.
no subject
"Aqua, you need to get out of here," he says, even though she's way better equipped to deal with this situation than he is.
