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

[dungfu]

Trap

CHARACTER: Amaterasu
CANON: Okami
PERSONALITY: A derpy wolf god who really doesn't act like a god at all. Has all sorts of warnings that come with her, including toilet humor, extreme toilet humor, herp-derpery, comic mischief, stealing your ladies, and much, much more.
CURRENT STATUS: She's trying to get them tribbles off her lawn farm. Any helpers?
CR GOALS: Everything and anything! I want all of it, seriously. I'd like to get into deeper CR with the people she already knows, new CR with those she hasn't spoken to yet, and even adopt some of you because that's what an Ammy does. So who needs a new mama?
SCENE-DOS: Prose/action spam is the best way to go about this character, as she's not the type to talk much. She'll be going about some network posts, but words are her bane and she communicates best through actions. Otherwise, threads of dfferent natures are all cool for me.
SCENE-DON'TS: Hmmmmmm, the only thing off the top of my head is a big 'No' on shippy things beyond the familial/friendly kind, for obvious reasons.
YARD SALE: She'll be selling her painting services! Not paintings themselves, but offering to paint for people instead, on any medium they want.
ADDITIONAL:

LET'S ROCK

[cravats]

[dungfu]

Woof woof! no seriously this would be amazing cr

MARIUS WANTS A MAMA

[dungfu]

FIRST ON THE AGENDA:

RE-EDUCATION

SHE WILL TEACH YOU ALL OF THE IMPORTANT STUFF. LIKE LEARNING HOW TO CUDDLE. so he can show off to that pretty girlfriend of his one day.

[saisamour]

c-cuddling is so forward tho..! DDD8

[dungfu]

DON'T BE A WEENIE, KID

it's just some cuddling. not like you're going to put a bun in the oven.

besides you have to ask nicely to be able to do that. ammy will teach you how to be smooth with the ladies by being the best cuddler ever

[saisamour]

BUT IT'S STILL TOUCHING NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHOWING OFF THEIR ANKLES omg clutches pearls..!!

also by 'the ladies' you mean cosette right

[langsyne]

Scott's already adopting all the kids, can Ammy adopt Scott?

He'll totally help Ammy get tribbles off her lawn farm though. He likes Ammy so far.

[dungfu]

Oh hey sure. She's a grandma already so what's a bunch more grandkids?

[saved7]

Miria can kill all the tribbles on the farm faster than they can breed, if something can be done about the corpses?

[dungfu]

Ah balls, Amaterasu isn't into the extermination of defenseless little animals, so she wont be allowing any of that if Miria offers.

[justlittle]

Teach Bean how to cuddle, oh great god?

[dungfu]

Yes yes yes. when she's done, he will be the best ever.

[dustonmyfeet]

Toph will be happy to jettison the tribbles off Ammy's farm a la earthbending. FLYING TRIBBLES?

Also, she needs some cuddling. I have decided this. Toph doesn't know yet.

[dungfu]

YES GOOD I fully endorse these kinds of shenanigans. Ammy is always up to cuddle with the ladies.

[dustonmyfeet]

Whoo!

Any way you'd like to go about this?

[escarabajo]

DOGE MAMA HELLO

Ammy has already run into Traci, Jaime's girlfriend, iirc? :>c maybe she can introduce them, otherwise I'd love for them to meet because Jaime would be so hilariously puzzled by her at first

[dungfu]

Y sure. Just don't... mind her trying to shoehorn into their time together because she wants to cuddle with Traci.

[escarabajo]

it's pretty much a universal constant that their date time gets interrupted by Magic Things or Superhero Things so this is nothing new. at all.

but he will grumble a little anyways a cuddly wolf god what next
