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!

Comments

Sker

CHARACTER: Korra
CANON: Legend of Korra
PERSONALITY: Nice and friendly with some added rough around the edges for good measure. Aggressive and pugilistic. Prone to sarcasm, snark, and some witty banter.
CURRENT STATUS: Destroyer of clinics.
CR GOALS: As much canon/cross canon CR as possible. Forever. With everyone. Because- stuff.
SCENE-DOS: GIVE ME ALL YOUR DRAMAS. Prose/Action/Log/Network/WHATEVER. Just as long as we can key smash at each other.
SCENE-DON'TS: Um, no character death for Korra. Yep.
YARD SALE: Selling all of Toph's furniture so funds can go towards the Blind Earthbenders Fund.
ADDITIONAL: LOVE TRIANGLES ARE FUNNY.

[disfavored]

if korra tells tarrlok she destroyed the clinic due to TERRORIST AMON PROPAGANDA he'll basically think she was justified and not be mad at all jsyk

[alphatar]

Which she will because IT'S TOTES THE TRUTH AND TARRLOK KNOWS WHAT'S UP.

[solo_patria]

Bending demonstration tiems nao pleaz?

YES, GOOD.

[alphatar]

Let's do this now that Malicant's all set up for back tagging~ If you want to jump in Korra's open log here or have me put up a thread starter, we can start this thang.

Re: YES, GOOD.

[solo_patria]

w00t! I'll throw something in there in a bit

[saisamour]

Seethes at the unladylike teen from a distance

NO ACTUALLY once i am off-hiatus with leo next month, do you want to do some fire power stuff with korra? Because he totally needs her confidence to gain a bit of his own and not be like MY POWERS WILL KILL EVERYONE I LOVE

Okay maybe not that dramatic but he has issues okay

[alphatar]

/squints back

YES. I really like the Leo and Korra CR! She needs a firebro after that scuffle with Rayner. And a chi-blocking poster which deserved to burn FOREVER.

She'll be like the only one not teasing him about the hamster thingy because she totally missed it.

[saisamour]

Awesooome uh excuse u don't do that to monsieur's posters!!

HAHAH sob he'll be so relieved she doesn't know about it. Being a hamster was kind of traumatic ok ok!!

When I put up that log for August I'll toss in something for korra then? Anything specific you had in mind or do I surprise you or something lol idk?

[dustonmyfeet]

YAY, SAVE THE BLIND EARTHBENDERS. <3

Toph will check in when she's not off doing something completely irresponsible like scamming or launching tribbles onto unsuspecting people's heads.

If needed, she can play poor, blind girl to help encourage more money out of people. (What, Korra? Why are you giving her that look?)

[alphatar]

THEY'RE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.

I totally want Toph to try that with Korra there.

(False sympathy? OMG TOPH WATER YOU DOING?)

On a side thought, I just imagined Lin catching Toph scamming money and I just died. XD

[dustonmyfeet]

OR SO THEY SAY.

. . . OR WILL BE IF THEY GET CAUGHT BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

Try which with Korra there? XD The scamming, the tribble-launching, or the blind girl routine?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees. <3 (Poor Lin. We are not supportive of her sanity.)

[kvarterskommissarie]

I don't know what I want, I just know that I want these two to meet.

[alphatar]

I am totally canon blind, but that always makes it more fun! Anything specific I should know, or just have at it?

Are you canon blind to LoK?

[kvarterskommissarie]

Haha, pretty much everyone is canon blind to this show — it can be summed up with "CSI in 1790's Sweden".

I'm semi-blind! I know AtLA pretty well and I've learned some things about Korra through osmosis, but not enough to know the plot much.

[survival_isnt_living]

So there's this funny thing about my boy Septimus here. He has this power set.

I feel like he and Korra really need to chat. Or train together. Or exchange magic tips. Or something.

[alphatar]

Elemental properties *grabby hands* I must read. Korra hates it when bending is referred to as magic, but I don't mind at all~

[survival_isnt_living]

Septimus hates having his furycrafting referred to as magic, too! See? ~Bonding.~

(But he sometimes calls it that because no one understands him, sob.)

[ihope]

So she has powers and she's the clinic-destroyer.

She is basically the reason why Lex would side with the equalists.

But I'd love CR with her, and I bet Lex would too! He likes meeting spirited people!

[alphatar]

Currently clinics are quivering in fear.

Korra has a habit of collecting people who wear nice suits. I wanted to tag Lex's IC intro, but it was when she was on network silence and staying at Jack Frost's place.

But yes, I want this CR~

[ihope]

Oh that's a fine collection to have polar bear girl! Lex approves of her tastes.

Don't worry about it, I'm sure they'll bump into each other sooner or later! She can mistake him for a monk then.

[oathwalk]

Would you still be up for Richard checking in on Korra?

[alphatar]

YES. Now that she's all settled back at her suite or out and about (we're backtagging the stuff so as not to hold up) Korra's very visitable!

[bludhavenknight]

HI KORRA HI. Hi.

[alphatar]

HAY THAR

I have no idea what Dick's reaction to Korra's recent activities will be, but I want to find out!
