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!

Well howdy! Harry is going to pester Waver and, gosh darn it, these two need to meet.

[gandere]

Agreed! It'll be a good opportunity for them to meet in a laid back setting at any rate, so should we plan for that?

[thebreakingwave]

Yes, I think so. We've got the excuse that they can end up anywhere on the map, so I'd like to fling 'em somewhere unexpected. Any preferences?

[gandere]

Ooooooh yeah, that sounds ideal. Randomly thrown somewhere in the world with a boy she's never met, this is going to go SWELL for the good wizard here.

Going through the list of locations, I have an interest in the Great Greenwood, the Hidden Falls, Parrais, Woods of Eithne, Fasach Moors, La Llorona, Loch Noa, Noa Woods, Pool of Souls, Redgate, and Treun are places I want to eventually have her visit so any of those sound like a good meetup place? :)

[thebreakingwave]

HRM. How about the Pool of Souls? That sounds suitably ~spooky~ for a meeting.

[gandere]

To the pool of souls it is!

Any specific date you want to line out for it?

[thebreakingwave]

Naw, I'm pretty flexible. The only thing I have set at a specific date and time is Harry has penciled Grell in for a dance at midnight on the first day.

[gandere]

All right then that sounds pretty cool. I'll chat it up with Grainne's player to see when she's doing her thing and get back to you.
