When: Day 146, afternoon
Where: Errywhere
What: A MINGLE.

[Today, there are spiders.

THERE ARE SPIDERS EVERYWHERE.

Maybe they are on your walls. Maybe they are on your face! Or in your hair, or in your food . . . !]

findaways

Who: Anyone
When: Day 133, night
Where: The lake
What:

[It's still cold and snowing, and there is an AWFUL LOUD noise outside.

Even from far away, you can see it: there is an ENORMOUS MASS of green glow-in-the-dark, thick, massive vines that are actively crawling from the forest and pouring themselves into the lake. They are going deep. How deep is that lake?

The lake is also glowing itself as they pour in...]

[EVENT! Anyone can join if they like, anyone. People and gods. Some buildup and exploration / partying up / "what the hell" for the next hour is fine, the actual event starts at 8 EST (one hour).

HAPPENIN' PLACES:
THE LAKE
THE FOREST
Zelgadis has some info!
UNDERWATER
DEEP IN THE WOODS
after!]

heartofthewind

Who: You
When: Day 130, early afternoon
Where: wherever
What: mingling

[The air is warm and the wind outside the headquarters blows gently filled with the scents of warm earth, living plants, and the sweet perfume of flowers in the air. Just outside the doors from the HQ, there are poles set up, with strings linking them together. Suspended along the strings are a series of cast bells though only a few have papers attached to set them ringing gently in the afternoon breeze.

There is a table near the top of the entrance with more strips of paper, pens, and a note:

Your hopes and wishes may be written here, loved ones remembered, dreams recorded.

If you choose to look at the strips already hung, you'll find: "Happiness." "Peace." and "Love." ... and one in a script that cannot be read though the symbol at the bottom is a stylized flame and swirl of wind]

devotedtothecore

Who: :D
When: Day 128, evening
Where: Apt. C / Apt. Sparkles
What:

[ simultaneously, at two different doors, a polite knocking may be heard upon this fine afternoon. what could be the matter? ]

fuckingnature

Who: anyone
When: Day 126, mid- to late-afternoon
Where: outside near HQ
What: nature

[while some of you are returning back home with whatever supplies and foods you've gathered, after whatever adventures and fun were had, you may notice that there's a darker... green clinging to the side of HQ.

it looks like nature has spilled out from the unfinished fifth level and some from the cracks in the lower levels. a patch of thriving young wood is growing where the vines and moss creeps out from. not large enough to yet dominate the landscape, but growing fast, creeping toward the forests and the mountains...

do ye enter?]

((hiii, Jeva is running nature! if you want to play around as a nature thing, feel free to! I will be on IRC in #thusia and-or reachable by plurk or gchat :3))

whistical

Who: you
When: Day 123, afternoon
Where: in the HQ
What: curiosities

[There is a strange person wearing only a borrowed jacket, who has been watching you for some time. You're fascinating~ obviously~

This might get uncomfortable after a while.]

whistical

Who: A New Guy and Whomever
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.]

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.))

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? ]

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!))

oi_theoi

Who: The more adventurous of Thusia
When: Day 108, Morning
Where: Fifth floor
What:

[ If you have business on the fifth floor, you may notice there are a couple less nests than before. A few unfortunate lizagons didn't survive the fight against those invaders a few days ago and their nests have been stripped apart by the others to thicken and cushion their own nests. Most of the eggs that once sat in these nests have been crushed but laying in the wayside, up against a tree sitting near the lizagons, are three eggs sitting in plain view and abandonment. ]

[ There's also a certain hunting goddess sitting at the top of the stairs to the fifth floor... like she always is... ]

(( One egg is reserved for the group that brought the idea forward, but the other two are open to the public to do with them as they like! That is, if your character is the type to go up to a bunch of lizagons and try to take something from near them... ))

overclocking

Who: Chrono and Tempest and anyone
When: Day 104, late morning
Where: Handwavily sort of everywhere
What:

[So today there's a tired, battered, one-armed tinydemon and a tired, battered, thankfully fully-limbed half-elf flagging people down to disseminate a somewhat unfortunate warning. If they need to sit or lean on something to make it through the entire conversation, you should just politely ignore that.]

I think there's some bad news that needs to be passed along... somewhat urgently.

oi_theoi

Who: Everyone
When: Day 99, evening
Where: Floor 4
What: Beach party (bring your own party). Also mingle

[So, how many of you are using the threat of curious lizagons to stay inside? How many of you re bored yet?

[Maybe that's why Leedin has carted in a bunch of sand, and it's covering half of the clear floor on the north side of the floor. There's even plenty of colors -- white, grays and black, reds, oranges and yellows, pink and even a few patches of olive green and purple. ]

[OOC: Leedin will probably let this persist until tomorrow.]

onthehunt

Who: A hunting goddess and lizagons and maybe you
When: Day 98, Late Morning
Where: Level 4/5
What:

[ There's been a hunting goddess loitering around on the staircase up to level 5 for a good few days now, watching the slow but steady influx of lizagons. There's a... pretty wide variety of hollowed gourds, carved bowls, leather bags full of assorted items and more spread out on the stairs immediately around her, so if you're planning to get past her and up to level 5 well. Be careful where you step. ]

sharksong

Who: Anyone
When: Day 97, Early Morning
Where: Level 2
What: A Were returns :)

[Swarm of dragons roosting outside aside, it's fairly peaceful this morning. The wet smell of decay still lingers down on level two, drawing out a few harmless scavengers here and there. Nothing too excit—oh god what is that!!

The beast is wandering around the main floor of the level, occasionally drifting towards the stairs with flaring nostrils (how does it even do that with wood—?). It doesn't appear to be aggressive . . . yet.]

[[ETA: TIME FOR BED i will pick up after I finish being an adult tomorrow.]]

oi_theoi

Who: Eizon, Selyir, and anyone in eavesdropping distance
When: Day 95, Morning
Where: Shrine area, particularly at Eizon's shrine
What:

[ Pass by the shrine area this morning and you'll catch sight of a certain electricdick god waiting patiently for his... shrine's shadow? Which just then twists and rises to form a pedestal, atop which sits a dark tablet. ]

The report, Master.

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!))

oi_theoi

Who: Everyone
When: Day 93, afternoon through evening
Where: Everywhere
What: All of your mingley needs

[So how well have you been ignoring the harmonious sounds of barking, Thusia?]

once_bitten

Who: anyone!
When: Day 93, ass o'clock in the morning
Where: All over
What:

[ Those dogs are back and worse than ever. In addition to their previous bad behavior, the barking has gotten so much louder. And if you're listening to them from around a corner or down a hall there seems to be an almost human voice barking with them, "Why? Why?" But then again, that may just be an illusion of din echoing off stone. The terrible little pups seem to be acting alone still. ]

((OOC: God intro! Bad things may happen! Ping Lady if you definitely want bad things to happen!))

technocracy

Who: Anyone
When: Day 92, Evening
Where: Level 4
What: (=!

[So if you didn't notice, this morning some giant ass feathers fell on level 5, and since then red lizagons have been getting more numerous outside. It's probably looking kind of ominous! They've even moved in to the remaining jungle on level 5, making it unsafe to go up there. Fortunately, they are too big to fit down the staircase to level 4, so as long as you are indoors you are apparently safe, for now... But since it takes on average a five man party to kill just one of the huge red dragons, going outdoors is understandably looking like a bad idea....

It sounds like a good time to talk to the community about this serious development! Thankfully some kind soul made a lot of coffee! It smells fucking delicious and there is plenty of it, both in caf and decaf, with a selection of milks and sweeteners if for some lame reason you don't drink it black.

Of course if you actually drink the coffee, turns out it was poisoned with truth serum. Shit!! It won't get worse with more drinking, and one sip is enough for a full dose.

There are also a bunch of little white squares on the table...? You won't be able to read what is on them until you've drank the coffee, though.

If you want the truth serum to wear off, do at least three of the following: 1. Get someone who hasn't yet to drink some coffee, do not warn them first. 2. Discuss one community project that should be completed by the community in the near future for the betterment of the majority. 3. Confess a crime or social failing that troubles you. 4. Tell another what you think would be just punishment for their crime or social failing and why. 5. If necessary learn of, and then let the relevant party know you are aware one of their private insecurities you could leverage against them in the future.

Have...fun...?]

((OOC: Whether it takes doing three of the things on the list or all five will depend on you! However you want to play it, basically.))
