SAMHAIN PLOTTING

[extramural]

Hi everyone, Gadgets here! A few people on Plurk had expressed interest in an ooc post to do plotting for the hippest party of the year, and I figured hey, I'm procrastinating at work, why not throw one up? (That said, please let me know if I'm stepping on any toes!) As per the calendar:

"Everything in the drabwurld stops for Samhain, and this year it will pass from the 25th to the 30th, each new day simply an extension of a misted, starry night, devoid of sun or moon! All feuds are forgotten over Samhain in favor of avoiding the Black Shuck instead, whose shall prowl the drabwurld in search of spirits who have escaped him. His power is so immense that to make his hunting easier, he has altered the manner of the world for these nights; a single step might unwittingly take one out of their room in a castle to a remote forest, from one coast to another... anywhere in the drabwurld. It is custom that all wear masks and behave differently so that they are not made his targets, and all folk, from the loftiest kings to the lowest servants, engage in revelry. All crimes committed in this time are pardoned. Many NPCs (including the monarchs!) will be engaged in this event, and Black Shuck himself will walk among the revelers! At the end of this festival, characters wind up wherever on the map they desire to be."

So! Five days of masked fun and neutrality, along with rubbing elbows with the NPCs and a free pass to commit crime! Also a big scary dog and accidental teleportation.

For ease, here's a handy little form! I like forms.
<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Outfit:</b> Have one planned? Need some assistance, either ICly or OOcly? Just want to share pretty pictures? (Please link pictures to help on loading times!) <b>Activities:</b> Are they going to be cutting the rug? A wallflower? Spiking the drinks? Committing crime? Adamantly refusing to acknowledge that a party is happening absolutely everywhere? <b>Other:</b> Anything else because I am forgetful!

So! Look for dance partners, partners-in-crime, someone to make out with behind a bush, or someone to go exploring with while the world is altered and it's easy! But most of all, have fun!

Player: Meg
Character: Waver Velvet
Outfit: Archer will be providing costuming. We don't know what it'll be yet, but it is going to be something.
Activities: Waver will be a little side-eye-y of everything, but will be using this ball for networking more than anything else. If there are folks that want to get some future plot or CR stuff laid down, this would be a really good way to do so. Also, lbr. Enforced neutral o'clock? Waver's a happy creature.
Other: Someone please force this man to have fun.

alice will be happy to come over and say hi!

[gordianknots]

Waver will be very happy to see her.

[digophelia]

is it bad that she's only going because the whale god and the boy who lived are? because she is

/AWKWARDLY FLOATS AROUND WAVER

[gordianknots]

no more like amusing as hell alice has good taste in companions that drag her to do stuff

/WAVER'S JUST GOING TO YOU KNOW, GO FIND SOME TEA AND THEY CAN HAVE A LITTLE QUIET TIME AWAY FROM THINGS.

[digophelia]

OF COURSE AND WAVER

WAVER




YOU DID NOT TELL ME THESE PEOPLE FROM YOUR WORLD NEED BLOOD AND SOULS SO LIKE HERE COMES A BUNCH OF OBNOXIOUS QUESTIONS

[gordianknots]

....

goddamnit who opened their mouths

IT WAS KAYNETH WASN'T IT

[digophelia]

SOMETHING LIKE THAT



or it was a big giant beefcake in black nudge nudge

[gordianknots]

waver would find it hilarious that he's the one who hates tradition the most and he's the only person who's kept quiet about all of this if he wasn't going out of his mind about it

man alice he's got nothing for you, magecraft back home is crazy.

[showmeyourwreath]

waver u need to dance

[gordianknots]

prepare for awkward white boy dancing or toes being stepped on tho

[embattle]

Hibari will probably talk with him too, if he wants? It's been a while since he has, and I don't think they've ever met in person!

[gordianknots]

Sounds like a plan!

[knightscode]

which is a worse option -- him dancing with you, Waver, or him dancing with Rin.

[gordianknots]

stares down thread at discussion with rin-mun about this exact topic

you know i think we're at equal opportunity worse

[knightscode]

Clearly he should just become wallflower club and hope nobody asks any of them, awkwardly wincing at it all.

[gordianknots]

Waver's game

[enjoymyatelier]

two el-mellois one ball

[gordianknots]

THIS CAN ONLY GO SWIMMINGLY

[enjoymyatelier]

IT CAN... ESPECIALLY IF RIDER'S THERE...

[gordianknots]

EXACTLY!

SO MUCH REGRET

[enjoymyatelier]

I HAVE EVERY REGRET. THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER PATHS THAN THIS.

MY WHOLE LIFE WAS UNLIMITED SHAME WORKS.

Lancelot will be critical of Waver the whole time and just nag the shit out of him to be a better party guest.

[gordianknots]

Gosh he is Lancelot! Networking and information gathering is being a good guest right???
