Who: Two PROFESSIONALS!!!!!! And you!
When: Day 149, morning
Where: Common area
What:

[so while you're worrying over strange spirit thingies possessing you, or possibly suffering from said strange spirit things . . .

Two idiots have set up a table in the common area with a sign that says "Lawyer and Detective for Hire! Inquire Here".

The detective in question looks about as excited to do this as much as he'd be excited to catch a mushi]

Are you sure this is going to work?
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: YOU!
When: Day 143, afternoon
Where: Kitchen area, 3rd floor
What: Truth, Dare, or Chocolate


There is a table set up with large box amidst a veritable sea of chocolates! A large sign is leaned against the box, reading:

Truth, Dare, or Chocolate

Get to know your companions here! Find a partner or group to play with, and pick a card out of the box. It will either be a Truth or a Dare card. Answer the question or accomplish the task provided to you!

If you choose to avoid the card's task, you must eat a piece of chocolate.



[OOC notes: Each piece of chocolate contains a shot's worth of liquor. Those who successfully complete their cards for more than five rounds with another person will find that their apartment has been fitted with a high powered venting system that will last for a week.]

What: Shenanigans.

[It's a beautiful evening. The skies are clear, all is calm . . .

Until! There is a yelp (human), frantic barking (dog), an annoyed yell of, "Bad puppy!" . . . followed swiftly by the sight of one of the plains dogs being blasted off again, courtesy of a well-placed swing from a heavily reinforced staff.]

Mou! These holes are a nightmare!

Who: Selyir
When: Day 141, evening
Where: HQ
What: Wrap up and Mingle

[SO by the end of the day most of the servers are free--either party-popped back into their own clothes or got free of them after serving a while. The cafe stations melt away into shadows as the sun sets, leaving the common area cleared up and the kitchen tidy. Servers that ended up serving more willingly and enjoyed themselves may end up getting to keep a butler or maid uniform (minus the pins), or if they're less inclined to want clothes, they get to keep a matte black tea set and some tea. A few others worth trolling may also keep their maid outfits...

Having concluded things, Selyir can be found back at the 4th Level shrine area, in the shadow of Eizon's shrine.]


((ooc: people who would seek Selyir out are welcome to do so! Otherwise feel free to use this as a general mingle if you aren't busy with backthreads.))

Who: Muirin, Natsume, anybody. Mingle away.
When: Day 139, Evening to night.
Where: Kitchens; outside...?
What:

[ As the sun sets and chilly darkness begins to settle onto most of the land, an almost eerie noise rises-- a voice, a song, carried by the wind and entirely unintelligible. It's melodic and horribly, achingly sad... Those who follow the voice outside may find Muirin holed up in a secluded spot on the riverbank, out in the open to soak up the best of the moonlight despite the cold breeze.


Meanwhile, inside, a young fox is making use of the public kitchens to prepare one or two of those large fish and whatever fruits and vegetables she could find into a variety of dishes-- it certainly smells wonderful... ]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone!
When: Day 139, morning
Where: the common area & the shrine room
What:

[this morning, for those of you already out and about, a large, wooden crate suddenly appears in the middle of the common area. It makes a RIDICULOUS noise - the sort of noise that's MEANT to grab your attention (and probably make your roll your eyes as well)

Anyone who dares peek inside . . . will find an assortment of puzzle books and various other kinds of goodies. There's a note on the top that says "Enjoy yourselves ♥". There are also a number of maps rolled up into small glass bottles, but you won't be able to see what they are unless you take them out.

. . . meanwhile, those of you unfortunate enough to be in the shrine room that morning are greeted with the CLINK CLINK sound of something rolling in there . . . and exploding.

That sure was a stink bomb]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 138, late afternoon to evening
Where: The river
What:

[ As the sun begins to set, there's a commotion out on the banks of the river...

Large fish are leaping and splashing around in the water in a huge school, incessant-- the ones that overshoot their fellows flounder helplessly on the banks, caught in grass or rocks and unable to reach the river. They still yet live, gills fluttering and thin mouths gasping for water.

Those close enough may see something strange jumping amidst the frenzied fish... ]

Where: The level 3 bigass windows
What:

[In the morning there is a pile of dirt growing larger and larger with the passage of time on the indoor side of the giant windows.

This by itself might not be so concerning, but by around noon it's shaped up into a little plot of soil walled in neatly by rocks of numerous sizes to make a sort of planter.

The point where it might get worrying is in the early afternoon when rice plants start being made at home inside the fortress.

Basically at any time you can catch the culprit carting stuff indoors, absolutely covered with dirt but seeming pretty pleased with himself.]

What: Keeping lizagons warm!!

[SO someone was sneaking around the lizagon nests earlier and thought they looked kind of chilly, so he spent a portion of the morning collecting sheaves of that tall grass from the plains and piling them up near the lowest entryway to the HQ. Half-soaked from the melting snow, he has finally stopped to consider that maybe wet grass isn't the best for insulating a nest.

So now a damp, sheepish looking teen is wandering around HQ with a tall bundle of wet grass and straw, asking for help.]


Hi! Um, you don't happen to know anyone who can manipulate water, do you? Or someone with a really big hair dryer? I'm trying to figure out a quick way to get this stuff dried...

[this morning, regardless of how long you slept or how much you slept, you don't feel rested at all, like there's something in the air unsettling you. Whatever it it, it's on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't seem to place what it is.

It probably doesn't help that the cold is just cold enough that getting out of bed isn't all that appealing]

[Albinia is standing by the bulletin board today, with a large stack of notebooks, pens, and pencils. There's also a stack of small cases.]

This is a new area. It's important to know what are the available resources, and for that, we need surveyors. Anyone who takes part will be rewards, of course.

Who: Lizagons + goats + anyone
When: Day 135, noon
Where: Around
What: COLD 8T and other things

[SO HOW ABOUT THAT COLD SNAP?? The lizagons don't seem to be enjoying it much. Despite having moved over from the rainforest they seem more resistant to the cold than expected, though, so at least most of them haven't died or anything yet. Some have even taken to collecting stuff they find lying around to try to insulate their nests: tree branches, any laundry hung outside, the left over fur of animals they hunted...

In fact, not far from the HQ right now, a troupe of them seem to have discovered some new prey on the hills: tan, shaggy goats with fur long enough to make them look like walking mops. Well, fleeing mops at the moment. A couple of lizagons managed to snatch up a couple of them, but something weird seems to be happening to them so the others in their troupe quickly backed off...]


((ooc: slightly slow interacting-with-nature post being run by Link! You're not limited to just interacting with the hunting party, btw! Just let me know if you're doing something lizagon-related (or goat related). You can also use this for other things too. Feel free to poke me on IRC today!))

When: Day 134, night
Where: wherever
What:

[The snow finally dwindles as the night settles in, and the snow angels seem to disappear with the clouds overhead. As the clouds clear from the sky, the full moons shine brightly over the pristine snow covered landscape. It's pretty gorgeous if you take the time to look. Of course, you could be in bed already, alone or otherwise.]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 134, early morning
Where: Anywhere
What: post-happenings mingle...

[the snow has fallen quietly throughout the night and the early morning as the temperature stays low. only on the occasion does the wind kick up enough speed to create a hissing and sighing sound throughout the corridors of the HQ, blowing through the lower levels and the unsealed dome of the 5th level. those who decide to brave their stone floors bare-footed may find it a nasty surprise of winter cold.

the brave souls who were out in the wilds of the forest and the formerly-glowing lake last night will notice there's several more inches of white settled on the grounds. they may also note the calmer weather through the now frosted and fogged windows, the skies growing ever more inviting to those who wish to go out into the cold.

some poor hapless fools may also find that those elevators throughout HQ don't quite work so well when their mechanisms aren't winterized...]

Where: everywhere beneath the sky
What: storms and mingles

[The first indication comes in the rumbling growl of thunder which shakes the headquarters slightly in the darkest hours of the night. The winds pick up whipping the grasses of the plains in a rustling hush of noise. The air outside is cold and heavy, and it's split in a bright white-violet branching arch of lightning. Thunder rumbles again and the wind gusts just before heavy white flakes of snow as the lightning filled snowstorm rushes down from the mountains.]

[Did you enjoy the party, Thusia?

No?

That's a shame. It's over now, at any rate. The very moment the sun breaks over the horizon, all of you are quite back to the way you were before - putting aside any injuries/hickeys/drunken spring break-esque tattoos - like it never happened at all! Except that it did happen, of course. And you remember all of it. But you know.

If you did experience a change, you'll find - attached to your clothes, in your apartment, somewhere - a scrap of paper. It says on one side, in messy handwriting:]

THANKS FOR PLAYING

[And on the other side:]
THIS COUPON GOOD FOR ONE I.O.U.
