When: Day 120, late morning
Where: All over the HQ
What:

[Wherever you happen to be (probably though not necessarily in a public space), you may see a new arrival wandering around wearing only a borrowed jacket, buttoned. He seems to be taking things in, turning circles to look at things on the ball or heel of his foot.

If you stay still long enough, he will probably approach you to ask questions.]

Who: Draftees and Anyone else who might notice!
When: Day 120, Morning and on
Where: HQ
What: Event start and mingle

[Throughout the day, residents may notice mysterious smoke signals going up from the dome of the HQ if they're outside: plumes of dense smoke wafting up in a thick trail into the sky. Those alarmed by a potential fire in the lizagon nests will find, however, that nothing seems to be burning when they clamber up onto the dome. Indeed, the smoke that was visible from the ground simply seems to vanish if one goes up there searching for the source (though it may smell like burnt dung and damp wood).

More interesting may be a slow influx throughout the day of rugged, roughed up, possibly smelly people to the HQ, either through the rainforest portal that's open this morning or possibly from out of the mountain-y forests or even out of the tall grasses just north, pulled in by the unmistakable sign of the God that has been watching over, teaching, springing survival-tests on, or just showing up sometimes to be a pest at them.]


((ooc: EVENT BEGIN! Anyone on this list is free to show up and play from today to next Wednesday, as guests of Thusia o7. You do not need to be currently active to play as a guest. And here is the ooc info post about the event. If your chara should be on the list or you want to change your drop route, give me a poke here.

From this point on until next Wednesday, visiting draftees may also feel free to make their own posts for arriving or doing stuff or whatever, just like normal play. Just be sure to tag your post with the "+draftee visits" tag.))

Who: Anyone
When: Day 116, Morning (and on)
Where: Still drifting northward over the forests
What: Mountains approach

[As you come and go throughout the HQ today (maybe to the portal room by the baths to poke out at Rainforest Base or hanging out by the windows near the shrines) you'll notice that in the approaching distance, waves of fog and mist seem to rise up like a wall of gray clouds and spill over the jungles below, as if all the moisture that drifts up out of the rainforests is being dammed, rolling back to blanket the forest as a result.

If one stares long enough, waiting for the gray mist to part, one can catch glimpses of mountains rising up through the clouds, indistinct save for how they're also green like the jungle trees. It's hard to tell for sure with how obscured the view is, but by nightfall the HQ is likely to have reached those mountains...]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: You!
When: Day 115, Evening
Where: Level 3, baths and common area.
What: POOL PARTY -- sort of...

[So you may hear some firecrackers going off on level 3, loudly. But just to get your attention! When you arrive you will find a that the tables of the mess area have been moved near the baths, and the whole section seems to be obscured from the rest of the common area with glass beaded curtains (floating without string) for the sake of those who are modest.

The tables have been laid out with a bunch of ingredients: some kind of creamy fish salad (like tuna), slices of meat in various flavors and textures, leafy greens, sprouts, slices of some sort of fruit or vegetable that tastes a bit tangy, there are even some cheeses, and bread. Lots of bread, already sliced up and ready for sandwich making. On some of the tables are a few tabletop grills and more cuts of meat (someone has even managed to introduce burger meats to Thusia at some point, though it's not beef). These are raw and arranged with various condiments, sauces, and seasonings nearby to barbeque with. For those less inclined to making food, there are bowls of cut fruit of various kinds (careful, some of those might be gummelons--aka zen melons).

Within the baths themselves, many towels have been provided, some wicker furniture to relax in as well, and the water itself is running clean and cool in the river, with the hot tubs steaming pleasantly beside.

Dellen's script has been left on the wall nearby:]

It's good to relax now and then.



((ooc: FOOD SHENANIGANS!

Eating food that you prepared yourself is basically safe. You might feel a bit of an energy boost but not much else will happen to you.

HOWEVER, eating food prepared by someone else will temporarily influence you with one of the personality traits of the person who prepared the food! It will generally be a personality trait that the cook considers to be positive about themselves (friendly, organized, commanding... being a sexy bombshell... if they're that sort of person...), but that can be pretty subjective. Those affected can choose either to play the personality trait as the cook sees it or as their own chara would see it.

Cooks and/or sandwich makers, be sure to list a few personality traits people can take on if you do a top-comment offering food.

Eaters (or.. whatever I should call you), you can either replace a personality trait you picked up if you eat from a different cook or have the effects stack on top of each other. Effects can last from half an hour to a whole day, depending what you want to play with.))
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 115, Morning
Where: All over HQ
What: Mingle mingle

[ Being in the sky should mean a nice and bright full face of sunshine in the morning, right? ]

[ Well, maybe not this morning, seeing as there are bright purple glittery butterflies all over the windows, each one with a wingspan of a foot. Apparently the brief rainstorm sighted yesterday has blown them up from the forest below, and they seem intent on getting into HQ as quickly as possible, ducking away into dark places when they can get in through the breaches that still need patching on the lower levels. Those that're still outside start to smoke a little when the sun hits their wings. The smoke shifts and changes colors as it rises, going through the entire rainbow of colors before whisking away. ]

[ A familiar, tobacco-y smell to any habitual smokers... ]

[ But rainbow tobacco butterflies aside, it's quite a lovely day in the sky, Thusia. How you doin? ]

Who: You =D
When: Day 114, Evening and alll night long~
Where: In ur dreams
What: Dream post!

[Maybe you have gotten used to the regular hum of the HQ's engines as it flies slowly over a rippling canopy. Maybe you even find their sound soothing as you drift off tonight... Or maybe you don't drift off at all, maybe wherever you are, whatever you were doing, you just find yourself inexplicably sleepy.

Whatever it is, you end up in dreams. Your dreams? Or someone else's? It's hard to say.]



((OOC: DREAM POST!

For those of you who have never participated in a dream post, everyone interested in running a character's dream posts a top level comment and people comment to that to be in that character's dream. There are basically no rules about how it works! Be a lucid dreamer, don't be, figure it out halfway through, push and pull between who controls the dream. w/e have fun! If you need an OOC excuse to be asleep you can totally assume Rew's power just made your character unreasonably tired at some point. Solitary dreamers will find ocean waters rising in and drowning out their dreams, but Rew won't be making any appearances in this post.))

Who: Lenalee and you guys
Where: Level 3, (very) near apartment D
When: Day 113, a little before sunrise
What: d-d-dehiatus!

[Not one to linger on fairytales and their ilk, Lenalee has shed her Sleeping Beauty regime of the last six days, and is now on her feet (...fffffor the time being). She has "escaped" the apartment, which is a generous way of saying she's standing knock-kneed in the open doorway to the hall with an expression of total disorientation, holding herself up with white knuckles on the doorframe and no small amount of willpower.

Tight-lipped. Wan.

Her eyes move back and forth as HQ settles and shifts (as people inside her own home possibly settle and shift).

And, if you're passing by at this obscenely early hour, you may find that she's staring right at you.]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]


((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

[personal profile] ritualistic
Who: Everyone
When: Day 105, All Day.
Where: Everywhere!
What: Beginning part of Memory event.

[Whenever you choose to wake up, you do so in your usual fashion, everything appears normal in the base, no lizagons attacking yet, no monsters in the closet.

It really looks as if today might be a calm day, until you go to try and remember what you wanted to do today. What was it? You had a list, but you can't quite remember it. Today's feeling could be considered fuzzy, peoples names won't come as easily, what you had for dinner the night before is vague...

Now I wonder why? Go about your business Thusia, nothing happening here.]

[ooc: All day you'll be forgetting random things. A word, a phrase, something you were going to do, a whole person. It happens randomly. IE: You walk into a room with a purpose, but forgot why you even went in there. Every person will realize they are forgetting something, let the panic ensue.]

Where: Level 4
What: CLAIMED, BITCHES.

[so residents of Level 4 may just notice some tags all around the place. something resembling a certain punk's symbol, only with a black eagle involved.

the culprit can be found at the fountain, writing in a blue book.

just chilling.

Who: errybody
When: Day 97, noon-afternoon
Where: all over!
What: MINGLE

[Just because there are a bunch of dragons hanging around doesn't mean life does not go on.

Yukari, for one, is going to take a nap. Not in her room, because she doesn't want to be unavailable for, you know, whoever. Just around. Around somewhere. On the fountain. In the kitchen. Outside your door. In the service buildings. Everywhere.]
oi_theoi: (Alain - le sad)
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: You poor souls
When: Day 94, noon
Where: Shrine Area
What: A failed attempt at creating a new perfume

[ If you're headed for the Shrine Area today, you might be in for some surprise. The entire area is surrounded by a somewhat thick pink fog! It smells like roses and is overall pleasant, but isn't it suspicious?

And if you care enough to pay attention to it, next to her shrine, there's Alain looking uncharacteristically worried and insecure. ]

If ... if I'm lucky no one will find out, right? Maybe it'll clear soon...

((ooc: Alain has been trying to improve her charm perfume, and the failed attempt resulted in an explosion. There's perfume in the air all over the area! However, because it's an improved version, the effects are a little more devastating than the normal charm perfume. Here's how it works!

a) Characters will be compelled to be in fluffy, lovey-dovey mode. This means disgustingly romantic and cute with each other, imagine shojo bubbles in the background, sparkles, dramatic tears and so on.
b) It can either be the first person they see, or everyone, or then again only work on someone they already known and have feelings for. Play with this however you like!
c) This can lasts anywhere between a few minutes, hours or a full day ICly. Again, whichever you prefer. Or it can not work at all! You are free to have your characters immune to this and just judge on everyone else's shenanigans.

The fog will ICly clear in around a hour or so, so everyone can make posts or have normal threads in shrine area ignoring this!))

Who: Anyone
When: Day 92, Morning and on
Where: Centering on the 5th Floor
What:

[ If you venture up to the fifth floor today, you may find the view of the morning sun a bit... more difficult to see than usual. This would be because of the giant red, green, and gold feathers scattered across the frame of the dome, nearly a dozen of them total and each one over the length of a large shark. The feathers themselves wouldn't be nearly as worrisome, but as the day progresses, their presence seems to be attracting red lizagons in large amounts... ]

[ ... Good morning Thusia! ]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Everyone
When: Day 87, late morning
Where: Everywhere
What: Bonding~

[Oh man, someone's being a dick and handcuffing people together, suddenly you find yourself chained to a random bystander. The cuffs have a note attached:

"To unlock, do one of the following:
1) Complete any task together (bake a cake, move a bookshelf, develop a synchronised swimming routine, etc.)
2) Reveal an insecurity
3) Discover a common bond between the two of you
4) Play four founds of truth or dare each.
5) Make out. For about five minutes. Or longer, if you like.

Good luck figuring out which is your key.
"]

((No matter how hard you budge, the handcuffs won't come off. It's possible to get stuck in these handcuffs several times throughout the day, even if you try to hide somewhere secluded they will find you. If there's something you really want to do but your character ICly wouldn't feel free to have that as your get-out clause, be as free-form as you want.))

Who: anyone
When: Day 85, nightfall (forward-dated)
Where: Level 5
What: The Long Night

[if you head upstairs this evening, following the directions of the message on the noticeboard or just as a happenstance, the sun's last rays of light disappear from the sky and as darkness begins to fall, you will find that not all light has fled from the topmost level of headquarters. down amongst the edges of the floor that still have nature clinging to it, a space has been cleared, and is now stacked high with logs and vines, blazing with a bonfire. the glass dome has not quite been covered over here, so the smoke escapes into the night without hindrance.

Noric is there as well, in his full Ophiuchus clothing, throwing one last piece of wood into the fire.]

((OOC: The Long Night event! This will be open to mingle for about an hour or so before Noric formally opens it, and then there will be a thread for personal speakings-into-the-void.))

Who: everyone
When: Day 83, the wee hours
Where: starting in the common room
What:


[ It's 2 AM, Thusia. Do you know where your monsters are? Because the roaring and crashing that may rouse you form your slumber is sounding a bit close than you might like.

Anyone who comes to investigate will see a great beast, easily the size of an elephant for those familiar- trying to smash it's way straight into the apartments of level 3. Vines and moss run up and along its gravely skin. An auburn mane is punctuated by bright, white blossoms. Also, there's some blonde asshole riding it in full battle armor.


So. That's happening. ]

((ETA: dragon and douchebag are down but dragon is happy to backthread any maulings you like thank you everyone I had fun ♥!!))
