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

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>
CHARACTER:
CANON:
PERSONALITY: Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canonblind an idea of where the CR might go! 
CURRENT STATUS: Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals.
CR GOALS: What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new?
SCENE-DOS: 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? 
SCENE-DON'TS: 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. 
YARD SALE: 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!
ADDITIONAL: 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!

Hiya! So Norrington kind of pointed Lex in Arthur's direction saying something something about a satellite crashing down and an invasion that came with it. Naturally, Lex is curious! So after the tribble chaos calms down, he might go poke Arthur's inbox and try to get some info off of him? Would that be okay?

Also Bucky. Hee. I get a feeling it'd be a bad day when these two are put under the same roof.

Yeah, definitely! I'm not sure how much he can get out of Arthur since Arthur isn't super tech-savvy or anything, but he was down inside the bulk of the satellite that was underwater and hauled up a bunch of pieces, and then he fought off a bunch of the specters. :|a And if he gives a name Arthur might go to Kal first because lol isn't this one of yours Supes

Oh god, probably. Actually if he needed it and he paid he could probably get Bucky to do legwork for him that isn't totally super illegal and/or reprehensible :V He's got a moral compass but he also currently delivers illegal tobacco orders for Henry...

That's fine! Lex just doesn't know who else to poke, and he's gotta get answers from somebody no matter how limited. And yeah, he'll totally say his name first thing. He's kind of a big deal like that.

AND THAT IS SO GREAT TO KNOW because while I don't think Lex is going to doing shady dealings for a while yet, you never know when the opportunity might spring up! /o/

He can definitely get at least something out of Arthur then!

And lol yeah I figured it was too soon for him to have anything solid going but if he ever does need a guy for things, Bucky's up for slightly shady and legitimate dealings alike xD

We'll think of something for them, I'm sure!
