FEBRUARY CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Hey, fairybros! As a heads up, the results of the Timeskip Vote results are in, and Eachdraidh will be engaging in a Timeskip of one year. Logging for the timeskip will be done concurrently with the events of Feb, March, and April, and as of May 01 the game will be post-timeskip. We request that each character in the game who is not going to utilise an opt-out mechanism for the entirety of the timeskip to post a timeskip page on their journal. We have constructed a sample timeskip page for you here. The code for it, with all time organisation in-tact, may be taken from the last comment on the page, or may be accessed below:



Players are free to design their own pages, of course, and it can be easily expanded to include additional years. These pages, in addition to organising what happens to your character, shall be used for logging out most of the events of the timeskip at your discretion. For March and April, threads logged on this page can be used to count for AC. We ask that most logs occur on these pages for smaller timeskip events so as not to clutter the log comms for those playing current events in February, March, and April. We will be releasing a game Timeskip Calendar shortly, which will be followed by a timeskip CR meme.

But what about THIS month? Most of you already know exactly what to expect, so, without further ado, your February event!



The Wrath of the Jabberwhelp
GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 07-14 FEBRUARY


SUMMARY The battledrums are beating, the armies are marching, and it was only a matter of time before war covered the drabwurld again. The Seelie armies received orders to push north from the Cathraon, and encounter an entrenched Unseelie force. Details about the battleplan can be found here. Please sign up for a part on the conflict, should you want one, using the roster page. The roster will be finalised by the end of February 01. But as a result of these battles, on February 07 the Jabberwhelp will be released from under Caer Scima, where the High-King had been helping to craft it! In a pain-maddened fury, the Jabberwhelp will fly to the lands of Glaschu and begin to carve a path of great destruction through Seelie lands. After its release, the monarchs will make handwaved proclamations:

Seelie characters will be bade to either 01) keep the Unseelie embattled on the front lines and unable to enter Glaschu to rescue the Jabberwhelp, or to 02) hunt and slay the infant monster by any means possible before its Unseelie allies can rescue it!

Meanwhile, from the ruin of Caer Scima, Unseelie characters will be asked to save the Jabberwhelp at any cost by either 01) engaging the Seelie army and ensuring the Seelie cannot hunt it in force, or 02 riding out into enemy territory to herd it back! They will be informed that the Jabberwhelp will actively resist harming Unseelie chracters. Characters who have maintained friendly relationships with the imps will be told the secret to calming an enraged young Jabberwhelp:

     + Gifts of lavender! For some strange reason, this plant alone resists the Jabberwhelp's aura of rot, and functions rather like catnip.
     + Riddles and puzzles! A young Jabberwhelp is easily distracted and quite gullible.
     + Touch! Juvenile Jabberwhelps cannot control their aura of rot, which is as painful for them to endure as those around them. For those who can endure the discomfort of its aura of rot, petting the Jabberwhelp can calm it substantially, and even lull it to sleep.

The Jabberwhelp has an aura of rot, which will make plants and flesh within a 30m radius of its presence begin to rot. Characters who approach will see their own flesh begin to blacken and slough away. Fleeing from the Jabberwhelp will allow this condition to slowly heal. For most characters, lingering overlong within this aura of rot will be fatal. The Jabberwhelp will actively seek to kill Seelie characters, and flee from Unseelie characters who approach it unless they have learned one of the secrets to calm it.

that network thread was beautiful i ain't even gonna lie and i was going to ask you what her timeskip plans are, for reasons

waver's got the jabberwhelp kinda figured out - merida's giving him the inital info, then he and jack are doing some R&D - but they should definitely get in contact at SOME point in the month. waver would love to just know what's happening, since he's far, far away

I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT! it was so nice to finally find someone katherine will actually want to talk to! so, seriously, on that note, i can have her hit up waver with anything she hears because she really only has sort of one friend right now. she'll feel like contacting her english tea bro.

i actually really have none for her. she's the hardest for me to figure out, so, if there's anything, throw them at me! as long as it's not coffee.

there's been some talk of franchising the barrel (although people can pick their own names for the establishments) over the map during time skip, and people need to run locations in order to keep information flowing, so maybe that'd be a thing to consider?

yes that'd be an excellent plan and honestly he'll definitely send her a thank you present when it's all over

[personal profile] manipulative 2015-01-31 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
if he considers katherine for that, she'll definitely take him up on his offer! i've been wanting to get her reasons to actually want to settle down and not be running off to god knows where, and maybe that's the way in for me! but if he seriously franchises the barrel, she'll be pretty happy about that.

will it be shoes?

he'd want to get a better feel on her re: neutrality first, but this might be a good arrangement for them both. one of waver's quests this month is location scouting for locations, so when i know what those locations are i can bug you about this more

i was thinking tea as it's weird to send shoes not knowing someone's shoe size he'll do it in the future

if i can help you out, i'm all there! but kat's all for herself, so, hopefully she's able to get that across. if not, damon's around to give her a good reference on how selfish she is.

omg waver stop.(◞‿◟) don't make katherine actually like you!!

[personal profile] gordianknots 2015-02-01 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
the other option might be she could just become a regular at one of the locations, and take advantage of overhearing all sorts of things that could be used for her own ends.

8DDDD aggressively befriends

i hope you know this is what's going to happen, anyway!! god, waver. you're really kind for letting her eavesdrop in your establishments!

ugh, she's going to want to defend you. 8||||

well hey, gotta hang out somewhere

ahahaha that's totally not a part of waver's game plan as he gains allies noooope

[personal profile] manipulative 2015-02-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
she's a 500 year old vampire who can do a lot of stuff! i'm really grateful you're on board with their cr, since i feel like waver will be able to help me soften katherine up a little and take advantage of her being in a mid-life crisis from her canon point. she'd definitely try to go to bat for him if their relationship deepens and he buys her shoes ;____;

buy her shoes, waver.

not a problem, i love being able to get more friendships for waver that are less politics and more sitting around bullshitting about anything and everything (aka: every thread he has with rin ever)

tell him the right size and general preferences and he'll try and do it

this ain't even the weirdest thing he's had to do for friends
