AUGUST INTRO LOG: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Who: EVERYONE
What: the August intro log and first god house competition, More Than Meets the Eye
When: August 8
Where: Gladsheim Palace for breakfast, around Asgard for the game/curse
Rating: PG-13; please take anything higher than this to a private log!
morning: a warm invitation Everyone wakes up to a friendly invitation to breakfast at the castle with the gods. For most of you, this comes as a message on your bracelet, reading:
For our new guests, this comes as a bit more of a surprise. Wherever you were before in your world, without even realizing it, you wake up in a strange new place. No time or space inbetween, just an awareness of There and then Here. A matronly figure tries to explain your circumstances with a sympathetic smile, but ultimately invites you meet them all for yourselves: the Gods of Asgard, and the Wanderers that arrived before you.
The sight that greets you on the castle grounds is a rather festive one, regardless of where you're coming from. Colorful streamers and flags are draped above large tables with room for several guests. Natives bustle about, cheerfully offering food and drinks to anyone that wants some. Everyone is welcomed to mingle and greet the new Wanderers on this bright summer morning.
the game: a friendly competition Among the brightly decorated tables are ones highlighted in a specific color for a specific god house, and most of the gods themselves can be found sitting behind it with a few of their district's natives. They are here to welcome the new Wanderers into Asgard - but they're also here to explain the rules of today's game. There are coins hidden throughout the city and disguised as mundane items, and the god house that returns the most of their coins will win an upgrade to their god housing! No hints will be given, but the natives are excited to help facilitate the activity and happily invite you to wander through their districts to find what you can.
But you don't have to know about the rules to be playing the game! The coins are already hidden throughout the city, and no one knows what they are until they've been picked up. Whether you're banding together with friends to find as many coins as you can or blindly stumbling over an unpleasant surprise, the game and the curse are in full swing!
evening: a fair prize At sundown, all of the coins in the city disappear at once, whether they're in your pocket or still disguised as a bowl. Points will be tallied and a winner will be announced (OOCly, on August 17) - but Asgardians are keen to celebrate regardless of who wins a rather inconsequential game. The same colorful display of tables and chairs is still spread across the castle grounds, although now they twinkle with fairy lights haphazardly blinking throughout the air. Snacks and drinks are made available, as well as more dinner-shaped meals for those that request it. Mostly the natives simply want to bask in the strangeness of these Wanderers from other worlds for a moment longer - but they're also eagerly listening to any stories from the day's mischievous game. Relax, enjoy yourself, or again, just stock up on some freely served food. Whatever suits your needs today. Welcome to Asgard, dear Wanderers.
[ OOC NOTE: This is the intro log for August, as well as our first god house competition/curse: More Than Meets the Eye. You are free to play with the curse prompts and searching the city in any way you want! If you would like to submit a map to earn points for your god house, please check out the rules to learn what to do. We will accept maps until August 17, at which point a winner will be announced and members of that god house will be allowed to vote for an upgrade to their god housing. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or need any help on the mod contact page. Enjoy, friends! ]

Join us at the castle today to welcome some new Wanderers into our midst. Breakfast will be served and a lively game will be available to all of our guests, both new and old.New Wanderers are curious on their own, and this is the first there's ever been mention of a game. Perhaps it's enough for you to make the trek to the castle, to see what all the fuss is about, or maybe even to see if there's someone you know. Perhaps you want to learn more about the game, or maybe you just want the food.

[ Jamie shakes his head a little. ]
But she's a grown lass now. She knows me, though, so aye. Weird, indeed.
[ He looks over at her, interested in the brief history lesson. ]
Is most clan history lost then? No' taught or passed down any longer?
no subject
[ Mostly because she in no way feels mature enough to be a parent in the first place. ]
Right. I learned American history and world history, and I wasn't really big on either of them. I don't know anything about Scotland or family history past my grandparents.
no subject
That's depressing.
He makes a quiet sound in the back of his throat. ]
I could tell ye about the Mackenzie clan if it interests ye. Of course, 'tis so far in the past, ye may no' have much interest.
no subject
[ A faint smile touches her lips. ]
I think my dad would've liked to know, so I can know for him.
no subject
[ He eyes Tessa a bit. ]
Does anyone in yer family have red hair, lass?
no subject
[ She picks a direction and starts. After all, they're just searching for coins, right? No particular place to go. ]
Nah. My sister and I got my mom's dark hair, and Dad had that sorta dull shade of brown? And in old pictures, I'm pretty sure his parents had similar.
so sorry for the lateness. was moving, then sick! feel free to ignore if you want!
He walks with her, not really paying attention to what they're looking for. ]
My Mackenzie blood comes from my mother, Ellen. It was never supposed to happen, the marriage between my mam and father. He was only a poor farmer, and my mother's brother, Colum, was clan leader. He forbade the marriage, he and her older brother, Dougal.
[ Jamie, like most Scots, is a natural-born storyteller, using his hands, very animated. ]
So, my mother snuck away and was handfast to my father, Brian. And then, weel, no clan leader could allow his sister to give birth to a bastard, so the marriage was made legal before my older brother, Willie, could be born.
