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.

the game - part ii.
[It is unfortunate that John had not been the one to reach this particular coin. Not only because a coin for Heimdall would have meant a point in favor of his own god's house, but because it might have spared Jamie the notion of baring his soul in quite such a fashion as that.
He reaches out and places a hand on the other man's shoulder to reassure him that he has done no wrong in the telling. John understands how devoted Jamie is to his wife, after all. He need not have it explained any further.]
You love her dearly, my friend. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Though I am assuming that is not one of yours then, is it?
[This is not the first curse they have run into so far this day. Nor, he supposes with some trepidation, will it be the last.]
never worry about lateness, i'm slow, so!
[ He lets out a breath and clears his throat. ]
And I'll assure ye that I'm no' ashamed. Only taken off guard that it seemed to happen beyond my control. Has anythin' like this happened to ye yet, John?
[ Tell him he isn't alone, please. ]
<3
I -- am afraid it has. Which is why I can assure you that you are in good company, my friend.
I only ask that... [He flashes Jamie a hesitant smile.] Should I run into any similar curses together with you myself, that you might also be...
[How shall he put this.] Understanding.
[Considering the nature of some of his admonitions that might very well come up. He has no doubt in his mind that Jamie may not want to hear them. But if he might weather them...]
no subject
I ken what ye mean. And I ken the magic in this place may like to cause a wee bit of trouble. I would never hold compelled words against ye.
[ He's too kind for that, and he knows it's already difficult enough for John, never able to pursue what he'd like for fear of punishment and dishonor. Almost awkwardly, Jamie clears his throat. ]
And ye ken here, 'tis no' looked down upon, aye?
[ He could be your wingman, John. ]
