BOON REQUESTS
Hey fairybroskis! You know what time it is? Boon time!
Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people from their respective factions to note down the number one item on their wishlist again!
THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED
Wherever Shardbearer characters are in the Drabwurld, at some point today they will be approached by fairies or imps, depending on their alignment, bearing a piece of parchment and a quill. They will urge your character to write down a request for an item, power or favour from their monarchs in exchange for fighting or supporting their faction and they will take it away through a fairy-ring when it is written. There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:
For this boon period, your character gets a boon if they have a minimum of 1000 words written for EACH event, either as a narrative or threaded. They need a minimum of 1000 for the Dullahan Ride and another minimum 1000 for the Silver Sickness. NOTE: Wildcards are no longer be available. You must name it to claim it!
New this cycle? Characters who were not present for both of the boon events due to having arrived this month must have at least 1000 words for the second event to apply for a boon. These boons must be minor (tokens from home, small objects or gifts) and cannot have any powers or abilities. These boon requests won't be scaled, so more words won't mean bigger boons. This first boon is meant to be light.
Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) that will show your character getting involved in this event period: only actual participation (not referenced participation) will warrant a boon. As a reminder, quest logs are no longer eligible, increased wordcount or not, and participation in both events is required for boon eligibility!
So, want a boon? Simply C&P the below into your comment:
If your character doesn't want to request a boon they may simply wave away the fairies/imps. It is not possible to "save up" Boon Requests for later events, so make sure to get yours in if you want one!
EDIT: A lot of you have super high word counts, this round! It makes us really warm and fuzzy to see all of you having such fun, but as an aside there may be some delays with boon distribution as we verify your threads (we'll probably get caught up reading them too, oops).
Some of you have approached us beforehand to discuss the logistics of getting potentially powerful boons this round. For those that haven't, but are looking to get them, please keep in mind that regardless of wordcount your boon will still only be so powerful. We always want to reward event participation, but must keep the game relatively balanced.

1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"Essentially, the OOC boundaries relayed through IC means to your character are to avoid game-breaking demands being made. They will be approved, altered or denied here until 24th JUNE (00:01am LONDON GMT) so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 25th (you can pick any time for them to be delivered/show up) no matter where they are there is no fuss, no muss!
2) "You may not request another's true love or devotion!"
3) "Ask not for a road home or the loved ones whence you came!"

CANON: Final Fantasy 13

BOON REQUEST: In her usual quick handwriting, with doodles on the side, Lumina has written "I need to be able to hide my shard, I can never sneak around anywhere in seelie territory anymore!"
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: So I have two ideas for how this could go!
On the one hand, it would be an hour of shard concealment a day, starting when she teleports into a dangerous or seelie-dominated area. This would be pretty practical, she could tell when it was wearing off and skip back home. But it's not very interesting or fun to mess with!
The second one would be three to five minutes of shard concealment every time she teleports. But she can't control it. She'll know it's happening and know when it's going away, but if she's somewhere dangerous she has to pay attention to the hidden feeling and teleport to make sure it doesn't wear off, and never quite be sure how long it will last. And she could use it to play like 'blip the natives' when she's trying to be a distraction, popping in at various places and letting her shard concealment wear off, then disappearing again as he bounces around.
I am partial towards the second idea (clearly) but either one would work!

For the record though, what does that mean? Were you looking for a specific word count or some specific action that had to be taken?

I'm not sure how you would do that for, say, the silver disease. Curing people is great but it's not really a service to the crown...

Her hair clip will turn her invisible for a maximum of six hours total in a day. This can be booned to hide her for longer durations!
