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:
1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"

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!"
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!

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.

BOON REQUEST: Information on the gods/spirits and the native connections therein; preferably ways to help the natives through their connections to said gods/spirits, or something along those lines. As the Avatar of Raava, Korra is extremely interested in this subject, and she wants to work closer with the natives and spirits in the Drabwurld. She'd also love if she could do more with her ability to access the spirit world, be it finding more information that way or finding other spirits to talk to on the other side — but obviously that's a lot, so she'll be happy even with a small amount of information, just something to get her going.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: if that won't work, then a Seelie-only ring near Korra's home on the Western Road that's part of the overall network of fairy rings would be awesome! if that doesn't work either, then maybe something that'll boost her affinity with animals!

SECOND EVENT
Lancelot and Faolan on the road [1,818]
TOTAL WORDCOUNT: [1,818]

BOON REQUEST:
"I have been told before it is best to have a home that is not your place of work too, that you might better relax away from it. I fear my quarters here in Caer Glaem are becoming an office, so if you might grant me the means to set up somewhere else I would appreciate it. Perhaps you could recommend somewhere peaceful?"

Basically, Lancelot wants to get himself a place to live outside Caer Glaem! He unfortunately spends most of his income rewarding questers and generally not on himself. I'd prefer them not to grant land directly so it doesn't revert to the crown on his death (so he has somewhere to live once he de-shards) but other than that I am open to scale; if he is given enough for a tiny cottage or a super fancy place! Ideally it'd be big enough to accommodate himself + baby dragon (in human form obvs) + Faolan but if not he can save up to contribute to it himself!

POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS:
You could alter up on-theme by giving him enough for fancy place, providing builders etc, or down by giving enough for tiny cottage or land somewhere less nice!

Else, Runic magic boost? He began learning in January 2,701 so by boon time will have had 1 year and juuuust under six months. So a month short of Competent. He could boosted to just short of Proficient?

BOON REQUEST: Dorian would like to request that Enkidu be given back to Gilgamesh. However, he would also like to ask that he be given the ability to override Gilgamesh's control of Enkidu and use them himself as well. (He's not that stupid.)

quick summary of Enkidu's abilities:
-grows stronger in strength and durability the more divine a target is, up to complete immobilization; is a very tough chain on the very strong, and virtually inescapable for ordinary humans
-the blade at the front is a striking weapon if launched at high speed
-the chains can coil and wrap around people at Gilgamesh's will
-there doesn't appear to be any limit to their length, as they seem to be able to contract and expand at will

POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: This is a high class weapon, so Gilgamesh's player has consented to it being modified as necessary! That could be in limiting length or the power of its binding or whatnot. The only thing I'd like to keep for sure is that Dorian will be able to override Gilgamesh's use of it by his own will.

If it doesn't work, a book on Quendi would be nice. Gotta learn about it before roadtrip.

I am unsure if developing weapons for use in the ride counts as participation. The impact of the aqua regia grenades are here here. Please inform me if that is not the case.

SECOND EVENT
Link #1 1327
TOTAL WORDCOUNT: 1327

BOON REQUEST: A written and unbreakable contract that the Unseelie will allow Scian and Waver’s six dryad babies to be recognized by the crown as his legal heirs and that the execution of his will will not be impeded, in the event of his death or his shard becoming deactivated. In addition, Waver would like to request that should any of the children that live under his roof decide to take up arms for the Unseelie, that they not be allowed to join the Unseelie army until they are 18 years old.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: If the issue of the ride’s participation is an issue, please let me know. There are personal reasons for this boon, as I'm trying to cover some bases in case of an emergency. (Please PM me if there are questions about this.)

Ah, right. Basically, the book tells the story of the Storybrooke characters in the Enchanted Forest, which is how Henry figured out the truth and determined to break the initial Curse blocking their memories and stopping time in Storybrooke.

However, in season three in the finale, Emma and Hook are at one point sent into the book which does alter events in their actions, and there is the matter of the Author. The ones who chronicle the events of what happens in Storybrooke. Whatever they write will come true. Of course, this is only possible if one holds the items to do so. The particular page that the previous Author was trapped in, the pen and ink to write what they want to happen. But these are matters that come up later on in the series. And at the current canon point for Snow (and Emma) neither know of the page (August - Pinocchio took that page) and they don't have the key. Even if they wanted to adjust things in the book. I hope I've explained this well enough?

Mostly, I just think it would be cute for them to share storytime together and possibly over the network. Because who doesn't love fairytales.

Gotcha! Part of Jack's silver sickness cure involved a black kitten. Would it be possible for him to see through her eyes? Accidental at first and something he would have to practice at to be able to do on purpose.

If that doesn't work, then maybe an upgrade to his first boon, which was the ability to ice-charm any weapon that he holds. The ability to freeze something with the touch of his hand would also be cool. Pun intended, sorry.
