Rating: up to PG-13. Take NSFW things to a private log please!

Here it is: the moment you've all been waiting for! The Valentine's Ball has begun!

At 8pm, all characters will suddenly find themselves wearing formal wear to suit their tastes, and lights and music will begin in the ballroom. Characters are welcome to come and go from the ball as they'd like, except for the Ball Court members, who will be teleported to the ballroom and may not change clothes or leave until 9pm!

Ball Court consists of the following people:

ODIN:
Nathan Drake (smallbeginnings)
Terezi Pyrope (synesthesic

THOR:
Yuu Kanda (illusioned)
Rider (Alexander) (macedonian)

LOKI:
Shion Sonozaki (stungun)
Mephisto Pheles (undevil)

SIGYN:
Tavros Nitram (uncertainty)
Tsukiko Yahisa (starryguyed)

HEL:
Karkat Vantas (crabby)
Kaz (parasiteye)

HEIMDALL:
Ventus (wingblades)
Zen (poisonfeathers)

FREYR:
Souji Seta (verifies)
Chihaya Kisaragi (sora_wo_koete)

FREYA:
Gomez Addams (rabiduspatris)
Minako Arisato (orphean)

BALDR:
Juuza Amakusa (satisfies)
The Boss (bosses)

Court members were determined by number of Valentines received, and are the top earner in their respective Houses! :) We'll be unscreening the valentines tally comments momentarily.

At 9pm, the King and Queen of the ball will be announced. King & Queen were the highest Valentine earners in the whole city, and are:

Karkat Vantas (crabby) & Kaz (parasiteye)

Yes, Hel House dominated the Valentine Receiving by quite a bit, as did these particular characters.


The ballroom has dim but colourful lighting and plays a variety of types of music from classical to dubstep. There is a refreshments table including punch, various cookies, and small sandwiches, and a second table that, again, provides any kind of food or drink (even alcohol) the character could wish for, including things from their home worlds. Also, as of 8pm everyone's valentine receiving boxes will be unlocked! Open them up to see the valentines you received and who they're from! :)

Have fun and party hard, everyone!

It's that time! The riddles are up and your characters can get to ICly figuring them out and bringing in the items. Regardless of whether your character "won" a question or not, or whether you even submitted an answer, or even if you submitted a wrong one -- you can have your characters figure out or not figure out whatever you want in the log. The wins only count for who figures it out first.

Found items should be brought to the altar in the yard of each Welcome Hall. When one of the "winners" (a.k.a. the first person from each house to guess right) brings an item to an altar, a light in the colour of their house will pop up. It's just a hovering ball of light and any touches will pass through it. After that, there's no effect in bringing the same item to the same altar, but people are welcome to do so as much as they wish. Characters are welcome to keep any of the items they find, or leave them at the altar, in which case they'll disappear.

And now for the correct answers:

( cut for length! )


And as for the winners, here's the list of who "won" each question, sorted by house! This means that the characters listed under "ODIN" are members of Odin house. The houses listed with the names are the questions they were awarded. Therefore, Hanbei Takenaka is in Odin house and "won" Baldr's question. We gave some wins for "close enough" answers when no one else in the house got that question right. :) People are listed in chronological order within their house.

( another length cut! )

NOW! As you can see, not one house "won" every single question. However, since Heimdall House was the closest, they'll be awarded the big prize! Starting on Feb 4, the Welcome Hall will have a big spiral slide inside, next to the elevator shaft! There are openings on every floor, so characters can hop in and slide right down to wherever they want to go! They'll also find a new room on the main floor, containing, wait for it... a giant ball pit with climbable netting on the walls and ceiling! Still, since no one really won and everyone put in a big effort, every single house will have the slides installed. ;) Have fun with those!

In addition everyone who "won" a question will recieve a cute gift certificate for a free child's entree at a chain pizza restaurant that has a location somewhere in each district. Edit for clarification: This certificate will appear on the character's person when they cause the light to come on, so they'll get it immediately! Clearly, this is a very grown-up event!

Now that the "winners" and answers have been announced, let's have fun! Please wait for the mods to get a thread up for each district, then reply and mingle and do whatever you'd like. Threads don't have to stay in the district they start in, so feel free to have whatever kinds of shenanigans you'd like, and thanks for playing!
