asgardchrysalis | JUNE INTRO LOG

Who: EVERYONE
What: The June Intro Log: the Wonder of the Wanderers
When: June 8/9; remember that there are no IC dates or calendars
Where: Gladsheim Palace, the castle at the center of Asgard.
Rating: G - PG-13; please take anything else to a private log!

morning: welcome to asgard

Characters wake up in the welcome room as described on the premise page, perhaps feeling a bit under the weather. But as they exit the castle with Frigg and Sigyn, they'll find themselves under a bright morning sun with clear skies - and dozens of people frantically flitting from one thing to another. Natives will be bustling around, quickly trying to set up seating or preparing clothes, whatever these new guests might need upon arrival. The Gods of Asgard will be among them, some helping set up while others still remain in place for questions, as they are sure there will be many.

It's a little bit chaotic, but such is life in Yggdrasil. Ask your questions and find your feet, but move quickly; you have to select a god house by the end of the day. No characters can move forward in the game without being placed in a god house.

afternoon/evening: the lantern festival

Throughout the day, natives will be handing out paper lanterns in various shapes and sizes. Your character can feel free to grab one (or two or three, they're not counting) to decorate or write on. When the sun sets, all the lanterns begin to glow and rise into the air, suspending just above everyone's heads in a river of golden light. Natives will be setting up blankets and cushions for people to lounge beneath the lanterns, and there will be various fruits and light ales available for food and drink. Gentle music seems to strum in the background all night, despite no visible source for the music.

midnight: the silent disco

At midnight, the lanterns all start strobing with bright colors and hypnotic patterns. Confetti bursts into the air randomly, sending colorful bits of paper raining down onto the crowd below. It may be very startling at first: there's seemingly no music to accompany the festivity, but all a character has to do is focus on the idea of hearing music for it to begin playing in their ears. The volume at which they hear the music can be controlled at will, making this a party of general comfort. The natives and even some of the gods will be caught up in dancing and general revelry until the early hours of the morning.

When the sun rises, the lanterns and confetti all simultaneously seem to dissipate into golden motes of dust that linger in lazy tufts and streams before eventually disappearing in the morning light. Good morning, Asgard. Welcome home. ♥

[ OOC: This is the intro log for the month of June! All characters will wake up in the castle and be asked to pick a god house; you can take your time figuring out this decision out-of-character, but everyone must be in a god house by the end of the IC day. All of our event logs will have a top level for the NPCs to make themselves available to you, but some of the NPC team is out of town right now, so they'll tag you back as soon as possible. We're stumbling through our first app round here, so please let us know if there's anything we can help with over on the mod contact page! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Alice doesn't feel very well. She feels absolutely awful, if pressed to answer. She currently has her head in her hands because her world keeps spinning and not in an interesting sort of way but in a very nausea-inducing sort of way. So when she hears if she needs a glass of water, she can only manage a little nod. She'd rather it be tea to settle her stomach and help with her headache, but water is a pleasant enough alternative.]

Thank you. [She remembers to mumble, not so in pain as to forget her manners.]

[ Honir kneels down to her level so she doesn't have to look up at him in any way - and to get a closer look for himself. His expression is one of genuine concern as he tilts his head toward her. ]

Are you okay? Does something hurt?

[She gives a small nod.]

My head... I've never had such a headache before. [She sipped the water and then looked up a bit, her brow knitting together. She knew his face, why did she know his face?] Haven't I seen you before, sir?

[ He smiles sadly, but keeps his eyes on hers to tell the truth (just enough of it, he hopes - )]

I'm the one that brought you here, to keep you safe while you're so very far away from home. Do you mind if I take a look?

[ He holds out one of his hands, palm up, so that all she has to do is place her own hand there if she will. ]

I thought you looked familiar. It's you I picked, then to be connected to.

[She took his hand, his smile filling her with some warmth.] I don't mind, sir.

[ Honir places his other hand on top of hers with a bright smile, seemingly overjoyed by the idea of her being in his house! ]

One of my own! We'll have to make this extra special then. Let's see...

[ There's a moment where he just holds her hand there, thinking, and then there's a sudden oh! ]

Okay! Watch closely now!

[ He peels his top hand away from hers, and in the space between them, a single monarch butterfly sits on the back of her hand with vibrantly colorful wings. The wings flap once, twice - and when it takes off, dozens of different ones follow after it, creating a stream of butterflies that flutter away from their hands in a dance of color.

If Alice watches them fly away, by the time she looks back at Honir, she will completely whole and fresh again, as though the headache was never there to begin with. The God of Travel and Whimsy, for his part, looks just as enraptured by the butterflies and turns back to give her a childish grin of glee. ]

How was that?

[Even as her head aches, she can't help but watch as the butterfly appears and her eyes widen. She tries to look all around his hand to see where it possibly could have come from. And then it flies off and then there are dozens upon dozens more and peels of joy and laughter escape. Some of the butterflies land on her hair and hands and she examines them before they fly off and she spins around to watch all of them fly around her.

She presses her hands to her head and the headache is gone. With it gone she's quick to hug Honir.]

That's amazing! You're amazing! You're so splendid, sir!

[ Her laughter and delight fills him with joy, and he returns her hug with a warm squeeze. ]

I don't think I've ever been called splendid before! I like it, thank you.

[ Just the biggest of smiles! ]

Do you feel better now?

Truly? But you've done so many splendid things! How could you not be called it before now?

[She wants to stay hugging him, she likes his hugs and she feels safe hugging him.]

Much better, sir, thank you, Mr. Honir. Can all of you do healing magic or butterfly magic?
