The party is nearly over. Last drinks anyone? [Day 146]

Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 146
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Day 4 of the festival
Format: Any
Warnings: None

Yet another torch arrives in the wee morning hours, this one decorated with chains.

Today, the eldest of the Bastion and the youngest of the Bastion are gifted with another charm for their bracelets.

As for games, it seems to be strategy games all over the place! Games much like Earthly counterparts, such as Go, Shogi, Mahjong, Chess (even a 3D chess-like game, should you be so brave as to try it), Checkers, Risk (et al). Winners of these games will get a few more shards to add to their respective collections.

And there will also be a massive tower in the center of the Bastion, designed much like a climbing wall. Get to the top and retrieve the pendant in the set amount of time, and you'll earn another charm towards your bracelet!

As an extra to the ladies of the Bastion, there will be two special things exclusively for them - first off, Pyth will only be usable by ladies. Anyone who identifies as male will simply not receive a reaction from Ptyh should they step in to the pit. AND there will also be a special tug of war game for ladies only, using a chain. Acobi is the God of Abandon, and as such women will be free to do whatever they want today, regardless of their upbringing or beliefs. Go nuts, girls! The girls who win the tug of war will also get another charm, as well as two shards per person on the team that wins.

Evening will bring the next torch, this one adorned with a tower, and a massive feast of much healthier food and drink than what's been offered up until. Even if you eat and drink a great deal, you'll find yourself lacking any hangovers or stomach aches the following morning.

The soft music that's been playing every day of the festival will suddenly quit at around "5pm", and the remainder of the night will be filled with live music played by the NPCs, and even a few PCs should they choose to join in. The music will be in the gazebo with seats set up all around it like an outdoor performance stage, but with enough room up front for spontaneous dancing.

The night ends with this joyful celebration to close out the festival.

Being a god doesn't make you all-knowing, and anyway, from a god's perspective I should at least be jailbait.
croceamors: (trilies) (harumph > Someplace I will never be)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
..Well, that's never a word I would have used in relation to you, but I imagine it's all a matter of perspective.
dontyoujustwish: (glance)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm actually surprised you know it.
croceamors: (happytemplar) (hate my job < I only have a problem)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's amazing the sort of things you learn from old men with eyepatches and no control of their own mouths.
dontyoujustwish: (you're joking)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
What, like pirates?
croceamors: (dreamdropdistance) (really < We've already seen)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
No, although I'm certain he's been called it. He was another one of my coworker's, a gunman.

[Whoops is Saix's tone giving away that he'd like that particular coworker most of all run over by a truck?]
dontyoujustwish: (now let me think)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
My ex-fiancé is sporting an eyepatch these days, but he certainly couldn't be called old. He was a pirate once for Halloween, though.

[Whoops, she's on a different train of thought here.]
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (glance < I fell to the floor at the)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Did the eyepatch happen to be your fault?
dontyoujustwish: (toast)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
No. Believe me, I would have done worse, but vengeance demons aren't able to take vengeance on their own behalf.
croceamors: (icon by crystalreport) (glare > Some say you're trouble boy)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Well, at least he's missing some sort of body part, then.
dontyoujustwish: (good listener)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
We made up, actually. I'm perfectly happy with him having all the rest of his body parts.

... All right. If you'd like, I can move the pieces for you.

[Maybe they can eventually make a larger set...]

[personal profile] amphibian 2014-01-11 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, well, it might be fun to one-up the boys. But isn't the spirit of competition and, heehee, sportswomanship enough?! C'mon!

...I think the winning team gets shards anyway, though.
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (glance < I fell to the floor at the)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I wouldn't have thought vengeance demons were big on forgiveness.

[Someone call Colin for another project.]

That would be much appreciated. So, the white pieces move first, is this correct?

Around 38. Its a bit hard to keep track here, with... no seasons and all.

[ The knight is on the 39 side of 38 anyway. ]

Do I dare ask how far greater your lifespan is than ours?

[ Duke's asking an age, although with a bit of a smirk. He's going to beat almost everyone here, just a very vague feeling. ]
wayofvoice: (Su Grah Dun + Sadness flies away)

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-01-11 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Always trust the gut feeling, because...]

It is difficult to say. Dov do not truly know death. I have the... advantage over my kin to have not been forced into a brief death, thanks to choices of my own, so one may say I have been 'alive' the longest. [A rumble as he thinks.] Vir pogaan eruvos has nii kosaan ruzun tol sus kein...

Thousands of years, although the exact number, I could not say.

"It's true, I wouldn't have guessed that you're my age." Rosethorn shrugs as well. "I suppose we shouldn't underestimate the gods here, even if they aren't ours. Have you been enjoying the festival?"
gianthobo: (Default)

[personal profile] gianthobo 2014-01-11 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. You can be white, if you'd like.
wayofvoice: (Feim Zii Gron + But we will escape it)

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-01-11 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I will do so, then. The first move is not always a guarantee of victory, of course.

[He twists his head a bit to inspect the board, thinking for a moment.]

The Pawn before the Knight, on the Queen's side. Move that, if you may.
dontyoujustwish: (how interesting)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
How many shards?

[The spirit of competition and sportswomanship are evidently not things she cares too much about.]
dontyoujustwish: (you do know)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
As a rule, no. I spent a while hating him, but I have to take into account the fact that he's an idiot, and a man. He only did what he thought was right at entirely the wrong time.
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (moron < Did I see you in a limousine)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...I suppose I can sympathize with that sort of mistake, then.

Getting back on track, you don't look like you're past your twenties to me. Anything we can do to get your mind off of others saying how old you are?
dontyoujustwish: (good listener)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-11 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You probably don't dance, do you?

Although you are offering, so you should at least consider it.
croceamors: (twilightshards) (ew your face > Come on now honey)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-11 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...What kind of dancing?

[A feeling of regret is already kind of starting but oh well.]
