Also, keep an eye on the event schedule for August! If you're ICly introing during an event, make sure you take that into account. Thank you!

Special note for August: Some characters have been trapped in the castle for days and are just now being released with the melting of the ice. Those who arrive after the ice melts may notice that the city is very damaged in places. Windows are broken, some rooftops are sagging, and the Natives - gray and colorless alike - seem to be in a rebuilding phase. Asgard is very much alive, but will be limping along for a few days while it tends its wounds. Regardless, the Natives are as friendly as ever, and will treat anyone with a Traveler's bracelet on with deference and gratitude. The battle might not have been an incredible victory, but it wasn't a defeat, either.

Have fun!]

Who: EVERYONE, including 4th-wallers!
What: The festival and 4th-wall events!
When: Day 290 - 293 (July 4 - 11)
Where: All across the city!
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ On Day 290 (July 4), all of the natives will close down their shops and stores and instead set up booths and stalls all over the city streets. Bright lights and decorations will be put up across every district in the respective colours of their patron gods along with an underlying theme of Freyr’s dark purple and Freya’s rouge. The city will spring to life in celebration of both the twins’ return and the Travellers’ triumph in reviving them. The festival will last three days, with music, games, dancing and an impressive fireworks display every night, visible all throughout the city.

In the midst of the first night of celebrations (July 5), a small earthquake rumbles across the land. It is nothing terribly powerful or disruptive, only strong enough to shift glassware a bit or rustle the leaves. The natives will seem surprised but unalarmed and continue the festivities as normal.

During the night’s fireworks, people will begin to pop! into the world in arbitrary places. Guards and maids will immediately rush around to give these new arrivals temporary bracelets with grey stones to protect them from the Grey Sickness; be sure to take this gift, as there is no telling what will happen to you if you get lost to the Grey when your soul isn’t tied to this world.

Still, the festivities continue even in the presence of their unexpected guests. The natives will treat them with a vague sense of curiosity and confusion, but are otherwise as amenable and deferential as they would be with the Travelers. Hang out, have fun, and please, mind the carpet. ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is one of the mingle logs for the festival / visitor’s event! Characters in game and 4th-wallers can make their own top-level posts and also comment around to their hearts' content! All information on how exactly the fourth wall event works with the relevant rules can be found over here, and we are always available if there are any further questions or clarifications needed. Other places you can tag into and around include the general visitors/event log mingle, the network mingle with NPC involvement, and the visitor directory.

Please put the time/location in your comment title along with [OPEN/CLOSED] and have fun with Asgard’s first fourth wall event! ]

Rating: PG-13 (anything higher, please take it to a private log!)

Yggdrasil's calendar is finally making the transition from winter to spring and to its New Year, and the natives are throwing a celebration for themselves and the travelers! The barren white field leftover from Freyr's demise has finally sprung to life with flowers of varying size and vibrant colors. Ornate festival stalls have been set up all over the area - there are games, local and exotic foods, and entertainment of all kinds.

The celebration will last two IC days, and more details can be found here!

Where: Every Welcome Hall
Rating: PG-13 or less (anything higher please take to a private log)

[This evening, anyone living in the Welcome Halls will come into the main floor to find a banquet of delicious food from both Yggdrasil and the worlds of anyone attending. There will be plenty of chairs & tables around to sit at and a big fire in the living room fireplace. Your patron god may or may not attend, but keep an eye out for the chance to talk to them! The food will be there all night, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.

Those who have moved out will recieve texts on their bracelets inviting them to come to dinner. Also, for tonight the discomfort of entering someone else's welcome hall has been lifted, though only for those invited by someone who belongs to this House. Guests are more than welcome!

Rating: PG, unless otherwise stated.

A Needle in A Haystack is open and serving complimentary tea and hummus to all who enter its doors. There's a good deal else to peruse and buy, including other food items and some more general goods.

Who: Everyone!
What: Traveller Fest!
When: Day 123 Afternoon until Evening.
Where: Gefion Park.
Rating: Hopefully G! Mark anything that might raise eyebrows in subject lines please!

[Asgard's Travellers had worked hard for this.

Gefion Park was alive with the sounds of excited voices, chatter, music, applause. The large stage was the centre of the event, Asgard citizens -- traveller and native -- sitting before it on blankets picnic style to watch a play or performance or up and dancing along to an upbeat song and dance routine.

Delicious smells and the sound of laughter drifted from the stalls displaying everything from a businesses' wares to freshly baked cakes, to a club's aims and accomplishments to ramen -- there was something for everyone among the rows of cheerfully decorated tents and stalls. The sweet scent of flowers coaxed into full bloom for the event mingled with the delicious smells of the festival food.

When the warm sun fades into a delightfully cool evening, there will be a firework display. Be sure not to miss it! Until then, mingle with your fellow Travellers enjoying the event, cheer and applaud your friends' performances and enjoy the wares on offer -- at Traveller Fest (almost) anything goes!]

((ooc: Business owners/clubs/performers, I'm going to put up subject headings for stalls/performances, so please comment beneath that with your character's type of performance or the stall they're hosting, eg. 'Dramatic Reading' or 'Singing and Dancing' in the subject line and include a description of your character's act/wares in the comment. It's a mingle log, so feel free to tag anyone anywhere.

It is still not to late to get involved with a performance/stall, whatever you want to do! Please take a quick look here and here to double check that no one else is thinking along similar lines, then go for it. You don't need my permission. If you have questions and I'm not around (unfortunately likely -- we're travelling, and I'm putting this up while I can take advantage of having stable internet access), I am confident that Nakama-mun and Hanako-mun should be able to help you! Also, I am putting this up early deliberately because I don't want to be in a position where I can't post and am holding people back. Please feel free to tag in whenever. Late, early, it's all good.

And finally, thank you guys! Working on this was a little overwhelming oocly, but seeing so many creative ideas come out of it has been really awesome. I'm really looking forward to see what you make of this log -- have fun, Asgard!))

Odin District's Hrafn Tea Room is open for business. The recent flooding had posed the management some difficulties, but under Yuri's guidance, the staff managed to pull together, and by this point, the Hrafn is as good as new, and everything is running smoothly.

The Hrafn has regular specials, and the current one on offer is one free refill for any purchased beverage (limit one per person, per visit).

Seating is available in the café area, where light fare and drinks are served. There is a comfortable lounge/reading room, with books and periodicals available for reading. Patrons are welcome to bring their own reading materials from the Great Library, which is located right down the street. Various kinds of tea and coffee and related items are available for purchase in the shop area.



[[OOC: This post is open to everyone and everything! Patrons, employees, anyone who has business with Yuri. Feel free to tag around, mingle, threadjack, etc. I only ask that you let me know if your character is planning to cause trouble; Yuri will deal with it and have them ejected from the premises.]

Who: Everyone and anyone!
What: Hugging event.
When: Days 89 and 90.
Where: Loki District, including Sky's Prize.
Rating: M FOR MOE.

[Open log for anyone who happens to be in the Loki district during the hugging event! Hop in, tag other characters, and/or make your own threads. Thread starters, please make sure to include your character's location (Welcome Hall, streets, shops, etc.) and the exact day (89 for general hugging, and 90 for sticky hugs) in the subject line for convenience. If your character is everywhere and open to both days, then just say so. For more information, take a look at the mod post regarding the event!]

Who: Hanako (burntviolet) and YOU!
What: After this network post was made, three days passed indeed. There will be lots of chess playing and the general cute stuff that happens when a girl named Hanako is involved.
When: Day 80, from morning to late afternoon.
Where: Sigyn House's yard.
Rating: PG, just to be safe.
Note(s): It's not only about the chess itself, and you don't need to have commented to the network post if you want to play/chat with her. You could be a passer by and spot her, or watch the game as a third party, or just enjoy drinking tea with her. Anything goes!

Also, since I really can't chess for the life of me, it's ok if we keep the game vague with the moves and all that stuff. |Dc

Who: The Neighbors Club and YOU!

Rating: at least PG for Yozora and Sena because wow

Today is the grand opening of the Neighbors Club's newest event - the much-awaited Tsundere Maid Cafe. There are four location subthreads: outside the entrance, serving area, kitchen and a catch-all thread if there's anything else you want to do! FIGHT THE SYSTEM etc. In the serving area, feel free to pick a server of your choosing or leave it to us. If you're having trouble thinking of how to tag this, here's a list of RNG prompts for you to roll/pick from. The blank comments are spacers since a lot of people were having trouble loading our last log! Hopefully it works out for you guys.
