Event | Yard Sale | BONUS LEVEL: CR With Me!

[ironwood]

Evening, turtle-ites! Alex here with a twofold post -- the Yard Sale OOC announcement combined with the game's CR meme! We've put them together to reduce clutter in the OOC comm and give one central space in which to plot shenanigans. We'll kick it off with the event summary, then head straight into the meme fun. 8D

Yard Sale
With the rationing being lifted the morning of July 20th, kedan all over Keeliai are going to take to the streets and rejoice in a very unique way. Festival? Nah! Banquet? Been there, done that! City-wide yard sale? OMG YES. This event will run from July 21st - 27th.

What does this mean?
This means that the streets of Keeliai shall become flooded with hastily built stalls, swifly lain carpets, and tables that have been ported outside for the sake of laying out wares that have been long hoarded during the stingiest days of the rationing. Foreigners and kedan alike are encouraged to both sell anything that tickles their fancy as well as peruse the wide varieties of, well, everything on offer. These are the fruits from months of carefully setting aside bits, pieces, and bobs for a rainy day -- only they've brought them out for this happy moment!

And that's it. Really. It's the most epic sidewalk sale that Keeliai has ever seen! A party-style log will be posted on Sunday to kick things off, but first...

What about the darn Tribbles?!
The Tribblepidemic continues throughout the event, with enterprising kedan finding new and inventive uses for the adorable menaces. And Lex fridges a bunch to serve as Tribbletonite against the Supes. They'll still be everywhere, but characters may see them being put to new and unique applications. What kinds of applications? Well... We're taking suggestions! Do you have a way that you'd love to see Tribbles used? Then feel free to make suggestions in the Tribble subheader! (In this post, just below the questions subheader.)

And that's the gist of it! The event is meant to be a winddown after the recent stresses for the characters and a great way for Foreigners to sell off any assets -- or buy some along the way. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have within the subheader provided for in the comments.

Meanwhile, it's time for...

CR With Me Meme | July 2013

Hello, chelonauts! The CR With Me meme is back and ready for action!

When it comes to our CR meme, we do ask that you be as specific as you can! 'Our characters should team up to moon Eshai' is going to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for better than 'omg tag me.'

We're still using the modified form, including the two sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! There is also a section specific to the plotting of shenanigans during the upcoming event! (Details of which are available above.)

CR With Me Form:

<div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">PERSONALITY:</b></font> Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canonblind an idea of where the CR might go! <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DOS:</font></b> What sort of things are you looking to write with this character? Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face? Do you like angst, fluff, drama, plot-based scenes, all of the above? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DON'TS:</font></b> What sort of things are you a little more lukewarm about in regards to this character, or would rather flat-out avoid? Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">YARD SALE:</font></b> Do you have any plans for your character(s) during this event? Will they be selling things? Buying? Juggling Tribbles into the sunset? These things all fit here! <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

The CR forms can be posted as top level comments to the post, so don't worry about needing a subheader to post them under. Have at thee, my lovelies!

TRIBBLE TROUBLE!

[ironwood]

What about those darn tribbles! Do you have any suggestions about ways that the kedan may be putting them to use?

Examples include stew, fetching fur pieces, and the half-dozen-and-more ideas that came up during the initial plotting post for the event. 8D

Meat pies. Jerky. Skin and stuff them to make plushies.

[eye_of_isis]

I don't have a straight up suggestion for the tribbles themselves, but if someone does make a Furby knock off based on these I will be disappointed xD

[ironwood]

OH GOD, NO. The new Christmas fad: TRIBBLES

[eye_of_isis]

MUWAHAHAHAHA

Re: TRIBBLE TROUBLE!

[notdreaming]

The tribbles should be used as free labor. Just figure out how to make them run and they can produce electricity on a wheel...

[ironwood]

Suddenly, static electricity powers the turtle.

[notdreaming]

I could run the numbers or I could just tell you that your electricity reserves are multiplying exponentially.

Therapy.

[lookedtothestars]

Keep a room filled with tribbles for theraputic purposes.

Maybe not as potentially effective, but probably safer than Hannibal.

[ironwood]

...and then I got the mental image of Tribble piranhas.

[lookedtothestars]

Piratribble.

Re: Therapy.

[epigrammatical]

All I can think of is something like this.

But it would kind of end in disaster because food service + Tribbles is...not a winning combination, clearly. Or very much is, depending on how you look at it.

Re: Therapy.

[lookedtothestars]

Well, if they're supervised enough it shouldn't be too much of a problem, especially if we manage to fix the tribbles so they don't breed exponentially.

Re: TRIBBLE TROUBLE!

[mopirates_moproblems]

Cinna would like (thouhh he does not have the technological skill to build) electricity cooled tribble habitats so that a single tribble may be kept as a pet

[langsyne]

Cinna, would you like technological assistance with this?

[mopirates_moproblems]

YES PLEASE

[langsyne]

THEN IT SHALL BE DONE

Though on a more technical level, did you just want to have them ~MAGICALLY AVAILABLE~ during the yard sale or did you want Cinna to actually suggest the idea and have Scott pick up on it? Which I suppose could then either be logged or handwaved, whatever you prefer! /o/

[mopirates_moproblems]

actually I was going to have cinna make a post if that works? haha definitely don't need ac for him nope

[langsyne]

Totally works and I will lurk in the waters like a shark for that post

[afirewithfashion]

Re: TRIBBLE TROUBLE!

[coneofsilence]

cleaning supplies :| tribble brooms and mops.

also, chew toys for dogs

[dustonmyfeet]

I feel like someone in the Water Sector (or elsewhere) should be undergoing a "Save the Tribbles" campaign a la PETA.

They're alive, man. ;_;

[faceofbeau]

There should totally be kedan trying to market tribbles as loofahs. Loofahs that pur! >.>
