When: Day 37, 8pm
Where: The Castle Ballroom
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!

Who: Anyone
What: People who signed up for the Date Auction as dates with be bid on by others as their dates of the day.
When: Day 36
Where: Draupnir Theater, Freyr District
Rating: PG-13

So there you were, doing whatever you normally do in a boring day like this: by chance was it reading a book? Talking to a friend? Exploring the shops in the district? It feels like nothing can go wrong in the meantime and you were off continuing your mundane life.

But that doesn’t matter, anyway – by the time you blinked, it looks like you were transported in the middle of the stage with bright lights blinding your field of vision. The only thing that you’re able to make out is the chatter of a very loud audience and someone announcing your name. And if you happen to look down, you would see a name tag attached to whatever you were wearing with the following:

NAME:
AGE:
SEX:
ORIENTATION (optional):
BLURB ABOUT YOURSELF:

Question is, do you remember writing all of this down?

((OOC: AUCTIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

All right folks, here’s the date auction! Please note that the announcer for this event is Rikku and Tidus, who will announce the people being auctioned off and the starting price - these will be the under PARTICIPANTS with the character's names in the subject, along with the fill out form in the body in the sign ups. Remember, characters bidding are paying with chocolates they receive from Valentines day and that the auction ends after Feb 14 2:00 PM CST OOcly. Happy bidding everyone!

Edit: People have been asking, and yes, people getting auctioned off can bid on others as long as it's not themselves!))

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!

Who: Kudou Shinichi, open to anyone!
What: Someone got his hands on some apotoxin.
When: early evening/night of Day 25 (ie. the second day of the cupcake challenge)
Where: Shinichi's heading from Hel to the library in Odin's district, aiming to keep a low profile -- feel free to encounter him en route or in the library.
Rating: PG?

( this isn't the smartest thing Shinichi's ever done. )

Who: Goten & Anyone ever
What: Back from being lost
When: Wednesday Morning I'm assuming
Where: Around the city
Rating: PG

If Goten were actually aware of how long he had been gone, he probably would have been more worried. That wasn't the case though. Goten was as oblivious as ever, and while the wasn't necessarily a good thing. It was this time, if only to save Goten from the panic Gohan had recently experienced because of his lack of existence. All he knew is that he was lost at one point, but now he wasn't.

"GOHAAAAAAN!"

Like any boy his age with an older sibling, Goten was eager to find Gohan wherever his brother may be. He was really the only person he knew here. Not to say Goten wouldn't easily get along with others, or effortlessly make friends. But no one could provide the security he needed quite like the relation he had with Gohan.

"Are we playing hide-and-seek?"

The young boy actively called out, running from place to place, in search of Gohan. "This isn't fair, Gohan! You didn't tell me we were playing!

GOHAAAAAAAN!"
