[personal profile] asthecrowdies
Who: Davesprite, Auto-Responder, and you!
When: Day 74, Mornings
Where: Level 4, near the fountain
What: Intros =x

[Two arrivals, bright and early this morning! One is some orange feathery asshole/totally cool kid, looking a little roughed up in a few places, bleeding sunshine yellow out of some shallow cuts, and carrying a katana. Despite how ridiculous waking up in a flower on an alien planet is, he flies in through Level 4's windows and floats toward the shrine area without any further shenanigans, looking around like he is totally not confused as fuck all.

The other arrival might just look a bit like someone's lost awesome pair of shades. They are sitting on the rim of the fountain. Maybe you should put them on to see if you would look as rad as you think.]



((OOC: OKAY! AR/the shades require some explanation. They contain a sentient AI but can only interact through text based means. So if you put on the glasses you will see basically amounts to an AIM chatbox on the back of your eyeballs, anyone can think-type into it effortlessly! OR if you have some kind of network based communications device, like a cellphone or laptop, he can minorly hack it to send you a text to say hi. UP TO YOU.))

Who: Pecha and (not-)friends!
When: Day 73, night
Where: 3rd and 4th levels
What: Old habits die hard.

[so this lovely evening, there is a certain informant-slash-former-blank wandering the levels. those who know him well would recognize the expression on his face as him simply listening to the on-goings around him, even as things quiet down in the building. others might just note that it's a very odd smile on his face, neither happy nor ironic nor sly nor fierce nor real nor fake--just sitting there on as he continues his walk, heading up to Building E on Level 4.

suuuure doesn't seem like he'll be sleeping any time soon, if his steady pace is of any indication. but at least he seems healthier after some bedrest and regular meals.]

((feel free to use for whatever! just know Izaya can and will interrupt things just to harass people :') ))
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: everyone and tinies
When: Day 73, morning!!!
Where: 5th floor open area
What: things to do

[some of you might have actually gone to bed at a reasonable time. for those who did and are awake this morning, you'll find a warm fragrant breeze circulating through the third and fourth floors of the building which seems to call your attention gently upwards. if you follow the pull, you'll find blankets and low tables spread across the floor of the fifth level. On and around them, you will find kites of every description imaginable as well as the material to make and decorate your own if you're inclined.

The wind here is steady and warm with enough strength to hold a kite up without pulling it from tiny hands (though if an adult or more adventurous tiny picks up a few of the stunt kites and gliders, they may find the wind will pick up enough to lift them from their feet occasionally).

There are also plates of scones with chocolate, jam, or cheese fillings.

It's almost as if someone is encouraging you to play for a while.]

[Intro: Robin]
oi_theoi: Leedin (Serious) (Lee - working now)
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Leedin, people who do favors for gods, gawkers. The usual
When: Day 72, evening
Where: 4th floor, near the shrines
What: De-aging event and an industrious goddess.

[You might hear the click and clatter of wood against wood near the shrines. Leedin is working at a spinning wheel. Of course, most people don't manipulate several others via magic as they go.]

I have been asked to assist in the cleaning of the public spaces. If you wish to assist me, please take a spindle -- a full one -- and carry it with you. It will temporarily remove some of the elapsed time of your life and store it within the thread. After a couple of days, I should have enough to restore one of the buildings here. Or another space.

[She stops work and swaps out the full spindles for empty ones.]

Also, do be careful until I have finished. This sort of work does… relax… the way that time flows. There may be pockets of odd effects in less settled areas.

[OOC: Rules

[Taking an spindle will cause you to regress in age. It will be a full, physical change: any scars, tattoos, missing limbs, magical transformations, etc. will be reversed if you age your character down past when those happened.

[Characters can either mentally stay the same age they are, or age up/down to match their new physical age. Similarly, memories of being an adult may be vague or even impossible to remember for children. Your call -- whatever's fun. Whether they retain the memories of being de-aged after the fact is up to you.

[Leedin will take care of details like clothing, because that's in her domain, and she's a neat freak like that. The effect will also wear off if they return a spindle to her (or you can join later).

[Characters not inclined to volunteer when goddesses ask for donations can be caught in a pocket of odd time.

[This will last an OOC week.]
bornwithhorns: (thwack!)
[personal profile] bornwithhorns
Who: Anybody! Also housemates.
When: Day 72, noon
Where: Apartment Q
What: TIDYING UP. Mingle with roomies, eat, drink, but try not to break anything please.

[When Ico agreed to come live with the residents of Apartment Q, he hadn't exactly been aware of how many people lived here, let alone the fact that they also ran a teahouse and inn. But then again, he can't say he exactly minds it being a bit crowded, especially when everybody is so friendly.]

[So for right now during the lull of the day, he's trying to be helpful by sweeping the floors, since the rickety broom was the only thing he recognized in the pantry.

...And once he gets all the dirt, dust and crumbs into a nice big pile, he swats it all right out the door, creating ridiculous cloud of filth that might unfortunately choke out anybody wandering too close.

CLEANING!]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Everyone
When: Day 62, Morning
Where: Everywhere
What:

[ So some of you may have had a nasty little wake up call this morning. Some of you may have just heard snakey noises through the walls but decided to go back to sleep. Either way, there's more than a few shaken up folks around this morning and an uneasy air on the third floor, especially with all those half-eaten frog corpses now littering the ground. At least those snakes are out of the baths... most of them anyway. ]

[ Residents of Floor 4 won't be having a much nicer morning either. In fact, they just might find their feet a little wet when they head out of their apartments for the day. This would be due to the steady stream of water now running down the stairs from the fifth floor and spreading across the fourth floor. ]

[ And if your day still isn't bad enough, it also looks like it's raining harder outside. A lot harder. ]
[personal profile] fuckingnature
Who: Anyone
When: Day 61, Evening to Night
Where: Level 3
What: Ribbit

[ As night falls over HQ, those on the third floor might notice things getting a little more... colorful. Maybe it's the light reflecting off all the water around or maybe your eyes are just playing tricks with you. Or maybe, just maybe, there are hundreds of small, colorful frogs jumping out of the stairway to the second floor and out into the hallways due to all of that rising water in the second floor, leaping wildly all over any surface they can find. ]

[ Just maybe. ]

[ And they're not all that's making their way across the third floor... ]

(( OOC: As a reminder! These are pilot frogs running loose and coming in skin contact with any of these frogs causes temporary disorientation and nausea. Come in contact with too many for too long and you're liable to pass out (or worse) from the severity of it. Fun times. ))

(( This post is also meant to be a mostly un-run mingling with frogs, but if you'd like a little more excitement in your thread, just hit up this comment and Ten will take you on an adventure. ))

Who: The whole community
When: Day 61, late morning/noon
Where: 4th floor courtyard
What: News post

[Earlier, posted around the HQ:


Events and Information

Anyone with
News or Announcements
they wish to share
is invited to gather together in the
4th floor courtyard
at
Midday, Today

Those unable to attend may add postings earlier.
Materials will be provided.



Come noon, the edges of the empty fountain have been ringed with fairy lights, and the wall of Building D behind it has been cleaned, a few news posts already present.]


As we all know, spreading information between different apartments is a clumsy process at best. However, there are nonetheless times when there are things all of us need to know. I would like to use some time today, and perhaps some time in future days, to simply allow us to talk to each other about the things that concern us all.

At the very least, I hope that by having a posting board here, those less inclined to socialize can find the information they need to know.


[[[OOC: News post! Comment with any announcements you want to make (do you have a new building you want to advertise? Is there a project you need help with?), environmental changes you've been responsible for, or any bit of information you want to share.

Feel free to put [Posting] in the subject if your character would have left a post on the board, rather than speak up in person.]]]

Who: whoever
When: Day 59, evening
Where: Apartment dark smiley face
What:

[ the door is open and you are WELCOME TO COME BY or gawk. Rin is taking stock of the apartment ]

. . . Mmm . . . we've become really empty. And I don't just mean our lack of furniture. . .
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who:
When: Day 57, very early morning through later morning
Where: anywhere
What: nothing only mingles :)

[maybe you're turning over to cuddle with a familiar (or unfamiliar) bed partner, maybe you're getting up to make breakfast, or maybe you're up early to get some work done after the past days of debauchery.

Either way—half buried under the noise of the shifting of sheets or the clanging on pans, there's a howl, far off in the distance. Almost as soon as you hear it the sounds starts to fade, like a dream... Maybe that's all it was.

It sounded lonely.]

((anyone can go looking but no-one will find anything :x))
killedyuu: (peer ✣ I can almost see it in the distan)
[personal profile] killedyuu
Who: New kid
When: Day 57, Early morning
Where: Shrine room
What: Sleep deprivation and a rather late intro

[It's hard to get back to sleep when some of you still have terrible hangovers and a mischievous goddess seems determined to take advantage of every moment you fall asleep to play pranks.

Come sleepless zombies, let's see who is awake enough to hear the rustling around in the shrine room as the latest newbie pops in.

Of course, you may be confused, since he does happen to look exactly like another of the residents... plus some raggedy Exorcist pants and minus all those demon-y bits. Alma is curiously observing some of the more strange looking shrines.

This afterlife is really strange.]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Everyone
When: Day 56, night
Where: Everywhere
What: :)

[Sometimes a goddess gets bored. No really, that's the only reason you might find yourself waking up in someone else's bed. Or covered in sparkly pretty princess make-up with your hair in braids and ribbons. Or your hand covered in shaving foam and suddenly a ticklish sensation over your nose. Any number of pranks really, maybe even more than just one, she is so bored.]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 55, late morning
Where: Anywhere
What: Life in Thusia (mingle)

[So, it's still early enough to get a full day's work done, and there's much to do around the HQ.

As people know by now, Level 4 has mostly been cleared of active nature, though farther from the apartments near the stairs there are still the remains of vines and moss and dirt on the buildings and floors. Fallen trees and tangled roots still clog up the area around the buildings which must have once been shops.

Aside from the library claimed by Henrietta and perhaps few other establishments, they are doorless, and inside those abandoned buildings there is still evidence of old equipment and rotted furniture waiting to be re-purposed, broken down for offerings, or thrown out if it's beyond use.

There's not much fresh plantlife left here to collect for offerings, but plenty of cleaning to be done, perhaps in Eizon's name, in exchange for the electricity flowing through whatever fixtures people have acquired by now, or as an offering of kindness in exchange for water...

Up on the fifth level, nature stubbornly continues to prowl.]
cloakanddaikon: (After the fall)
[personal profile] cloakanddaikon
Who: Any and all
When: Day 47, early afternoon
Where: The baths
What: Nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

[And while people are busy with petitions and late breakfasts and lunches, whole most are well settled into going about their daily routines, it seems as good a time as any to slip into the relative peace of the public bath.

Now, if only it would remain peaceful for the time needed to soak away a day's worth of dust and ash and heavy thoughts.]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: everyone
When: Day 47, morning
Where: Common room
What:

[today there is a clipboard nailed somewhere visible in the common room. there is a sharpened pencil perched on top of it. on the clipboard there is a sheet of paper, blank except for the top, which reads:]

Petition for new library. Please sign.

[looks legit!]




[Signing the petition will have one of four effects on your character (Player's choice):

1. Desire to tell secrets—both personal as well as the secrets of others
2. Desire to answer questions truthfully
3. Desire to answer questions untruthfully
4. Desire to ask questions about things they may not necessarily want to know about...

“Desire” is up to interpretation. It will mostly be a subtle effect; just a gentle push bringing thoughts that are usually in the NO VERBALIZING category into the well... maaaaaybe I can say that category. But the effect may be stronger the more it is engaged. So the more one tells secrets the stronger the urge to tell more secrets etc.

Effects will last 1 IC day. Any characters trying to warn other characters will find themselves not able to speak of it or write it down. It is possible for the clipboard to be taken down for more mobile petition signing if anyone cares to; another will appear in its place.

PING LEI FOR QUESTIONS!

EDIT: The clipboard will be there all day, and it's fine to handwave signing. it's also fine to sign OTHER people's names assuming you have OOC permission from the player.]
