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

[bindsthedead]

Sarah

CHARACTER: Sabriel
CANON: Old Kingdom
PERSONALITY: Serious, honorable young woman who also happens to have extensive training in magic, necromancy, swordplay, and etiquette. Generally friendly, unless you're practicing black magic or undead. Kind of a bookworm, and fond of discussing magic.
CURRENT STATUS: Trying to investigate stuff, also looking for more students and teaching the ones she has. Learning martial arts from Amon.
CR GOALS: Is your character a nonpowered human? Would they like to learn magic? Sabriel can help. I'd also love for Sabriel to get more negative CR- or just more CR in general.
SCENE-DOS: I'm good with almost anything.
SCENE-DON'TS: None that I can think of?
YARD SALE: Sabriel will probably be buying stuff and looking for anything with a connection to Keeliai's history.

STUFF

THINGS

[bindsthedead]

Things. Possibly comparing notes about magic and chi?

[amonfire]

That and it being really awkward if their mutual friend Korra gets involved

[bindsthedead]

Or their mutual student Marius.

[amonfire]

This is going to be the weirdest custody battle

for marius

of all people

[bindsthedead]

well

Sabriel's willing to share?

[dustonmyfeet]

I kind of feel like with several connections to the Avatar cast already, Toph needs to know Sabriel.

Though I have no idea what they'd do or talk about.

"So you know Amon."
"Yes."
". . . Okay, then."

[bindsthedead]

Well, they're both learning from him, right? That's something.

[dustonmyfeet]

True. Though would it actually make for a scene? *thinking*

[dracobin]

Temeraire wants to practice magic while flying at some point! :D

[bindsthedead]

Yes! Sabriel love that- particularly if she can show off her weather magic.

[saisamour]

Still needs to mistake her for Amon's mistress tbqh

[lineality]

achievement unlocked: made lin throw up a little in her mouth

[saisamour]

marius doesn't understand why monsieur amon can't have a mistress it is perfectly fine to like him!!1

[amonfire]

achievement unlocked: amon is speechless (for once)

[bindsthedead]

That definitely needs to happen. Preferably where a lot of other people hear it.

[saisamour]

He can say it in the middle of the yard sale crowd

And we can make it an open log

SHENANIGANS

[amonfire]

GO TO YOUR ROOM, MARIUS

[saisamour]

SLAMS DOOR TO ROOM AND CRIES PATHETICALLY

[langsyne]

I don't think Scott's too interested in learning magic right now, but he'd probably be interested in learning about it.

Or in other words, I would like CR with Sabriel because she's one of my favorite book characters. >:

[lostundercover]

I'm actually just about to have Costigan bother Sabriel about blood magic stuff. Hoping that could turn into CR of them investigating together maybe?

Separately, Hayley might be interested in learning some if she hears about it.

[bindsthedead]

Both of those sound great! Sabriel's actively looking for new students, so it wouldn't be unusual for Hayley to hear about it at all!

[everylittlegirl]

Awesome! I'll have her get a hold of Sabriel at some point then. C:

[bludhavenknight]

Billy already has magic, but he'd love to talk about other kinds with someone else who also understands magic type things!
