♥ July (Lasdia) Event Log
July (Lasdia) Event Log
Offworlders, did you know? It's been a year since you and your peers began to arrive here! Some of you have been around this entire time, others have only just arrived, and many more fall in between. Whatever length of time you've spent here, the locals are very grateful for your time and effort. Even if it's been given without your consent, they want to make sure you know that your contributions are appreciated and, of course, have come to bear much fruit. Sometimes literally!
❥ PROMPT I: National Telegraphic
As Lasdia is in full-swing and whispers of anniversary are in the air, the entertainment district is beginning to capitalize on the general mood in town. Camera crews and journalists are seen more frequently, particularly in the residential areas where the majority of offworlders have settled, and have taken to following a few people on more than one occasion. Some are more subtle than others. And some are very obvious, maybe even going so far as to narrate what they observe. Even if what they see characters doing is mundane and not especially exciting, they'll do their best to hype it up. "Watch as the human stalks his prey, teeth bared and hungry, trying to decide which angle to strike... and he's got it! The human has chosen the strawberry danish as his meal. ...Oh no, we've been spotted! His teeth are bared towards us... loyal viewers, this could be the end for us...!"
It's... mostly harmless, and when caught in the act most of them will dramatically flee the area and attempt to film in a more subtle manner. Their attention can be short-lived if they spot another offworlder wandering by doing something more interesting and switch targets. Some will try and create drama or conflict, either between residents and offworlders (such as knocking over a store display and vanishing, leaving someone with an irritated shopkeep) or between the offworlders themselves, and generally they won't break any laws to get a scoop... but you may want to keep your curtains closed. A clever offworlder or two could probably get some annoying crew arrested for causing too much trouble, as many locals are likely to grow exasperated with it as well.
Shops to an extent are on board with capitalizing on the offworlders' popularity, however, which becomes apparent as characters might find something odd while shopping around: merchandise, representative of either yourselves or your neighbours. Perhaps some collectable figures of the great warriors of Havenwell can be spotted at the check-out counter. Or keychains showing a recognizable symbol someone wears are for sale at repair shops. Clothing of the offworlders become a popular style that transition well into the shawls and scarves that the robots wear. Trading cards with information blurbs (which may be accurate or entirely fictional), buttons... you name it, there could be at least one of it out there of you! Do you object, find a seller to yell at? Do you buy out the stock and hope they disappear? Or do you collect your friends for a laugh?
Just... maybe do yourself a favour and don't check the network for offworlder fanfiction. Even if the names have been changed, some of it is far too obvious and probably not meant for public consumption.

❥ PROMPT II: Calling Doctor Jones
Over the past year, and the past several months in particular, the locals have heard a number of requests for a more organized health care system within town, as the population of flesh-and-blood residents remains steady. While each temple has had recovery rooms built to provide aid to those who get sick or injured, it isn't their focus, so despite their best efforts they have come to recognize the need to do better.
Therefore to fill the void, this month's changes include the soft opening of the Havenwellness Clinic! Run by a local researcher of biology and a former veterinarian, Dr. Rojir, it exists not to replace the temple recovery rooms, but to give residents a more clinical and less religious location to recover from whatever ails them, as well as centralize supplies, medicine, and direct research on non-robotic species without being too invasive.
Doctor Rojir is a quiet and polite automoton with padded metal fingers designed to sense subtle differences in texture, temperature, and damage across surfaces, particularly skin. It can't feel, exactly, but complex mechanics within have been specially programmed to aid in detecting what sort of ailments might be affecting the patients. He's done a fair bit of research into the medical techniques of the past, as well as what is known thus far about the species inhabiting the world - humans especially, as there are a number of you! - but much of the information available is incomplete, since they don't have years of study to fall back on, or even a proper subject to examine, living or otherwise.
This is where you come in! There will be a sign-up thread down below for appointments, and Dr. Rojir will have a toplevel on the event post. What he's also going to do to assist in his research is pair characters up with someone unlike themselves in some way. That person is going to be your temporary research partner! You will be asked to sit down with the other person and teach one another about your status, your general health, anything that might be considered unique about who or what you are. This prompt is all about world-sharing and swapping questions with another person, and may be a great way to make some new CR, good or bad! You can request a specific partner, or have it randomized by a mod. We will try our best to link up characters who aren't in the same exact situation, physically.
If Dr. Rojir's solo appointment requests are too popular, we may schedule dates for when said appointments will occur, to avoid mod overload. You will be given a date if your appointment is going to occur later on during the event, or afterwards. We ask that you respond to the Sign-Up thread before tagging the NPC toplevel, so we can gauge interest and schedule accordingly.
Additionally, characters who are a) already volunteering at the existing temple clinics or b) medically trained in some way are welcome to volunteer to work at the clinic with Rojir. There will be a salary awarded to those willing and qualified, so it can count as a job in-town to help with whatever your monthly dora reward won't pay for. Please let us know if you're interested and qualified, and you can be added to the staff once we have the clinic added to the game information pages.

❥ PROMPT III: So Very Glamour-ous
It's been a year since Havenwell officially began pulling people in from another world. Crazy, is it not? The locals can hardly believe the changes and how well things are progressing. It may not seem like much, but to them, who have seen no positive changes for centuries, it's something worth celebrating for certain. Therefore, close to month's end, they're throwing a party for everyone!
Much like the food festival half a year ago, the party will occur in one of the towers in town, on a floor large and open enough for such gatherings. It's been decorated to the nines, each corner devoted to one of the gods and their respective colour combinations (iridescent silver, pink and purple, red and white, blue and gold), with the central zone focused on Havenwell itself, a spread of tables with food galore, and an elaborate showcase of events and instances where the newcomers have helped the city, all displayed through edible arrangements: sad fork robots saved by the arrival of sliced-meat and fruits in the shape of people; tiny grape spiders breaking through a wall of cheese and crackers, fought off by celery-soldiers; a handful of cookie-people cuddling and sitting cozy or kissing. It's all very fancy and delicious enough that they've clearly put the work in to show their appreciation. They will of course urge everyone to eat and enjoy, no matter how fancy it looks. It would be terrible if it all rotted and went to waste. Once a sufficiency of food has been consumed, the tables easily move aside to make room for a dance floor, if people feel so inclined. There is a band of local talent playing a curious blend of synth and orchestral music, their style shifting suitably between fast and slow dances, so there should be a little something for everyone in attendance.
What is the dresscode for such an event, you might ask? Well, on paper the locals have stated that anything is fine, since it's your party, but the gods (not without their own sense of humour) have other ideas. Plenty of their accomplishments this year was fueled by you, but they also brought you here... thus, a few days before the party, you might find a package on your doorstep, seemingly delivered by one of the animal familiars of your god of choice. Inside the package you'll find one curious thing: the equivalent of a glamour prism, a curious bauble that could easily fit into your pocket and that alters whatever you're wearing into a single outfit that the glamour is programmed to display on you.
What outfit it is... well, that's your choice! There is no universal style. The only stipulation is that it is not a style of this world, and it is not dangerous/magical beyond the glamour's effect. The outfit feels real, and can wiggle/move/flow in the breeze as it normally would, provided the glamour is active- so rock that cat-eared beanie, roll with that floor-length cape. It can be an outfit from the character's home closet, a style of your world or another's, a fancy suit, or something silly like a dragon kigurumi. If you're not sure if what you can acquire is allowed or would require modification, please ask in the question thread below.
If your character ends up with an outfit they wouldn't wear to the dance, never fear- you can still wear whatever you like! But those gods and their critters can either be easily offended or love a good gag, so the glamour might find itself on your person in some way during the party, inexplicably active. You can deactivate it, throw it away, whatever- somehow, it just keeps finding its way back to you. Might be best to just roll with what you're given.

EXTRA: Characters who first arrived in this world last year might remember the Ribbon Games that were occurring in the month of their arrival, and this tradition has been brought back once again- both the temple portion, and the challenge at the party. Feel free to play with this in your prompts if you wish, though it is entirely optional!
This event will run from July 15th to 30th. Click on each prompt's title to see the text. If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the FAQ or to the Mod Question thread.

[ Sorry he's loud. ]
Super cool!! It looks metal!! Eh, you're really gonna let me try 'em out?! Really???
[ He's a bit (very) confused because it's him??? He doesn't have looks like a model or anything like that! Very ordinary... And these look expensive as hell! It probably won't suit him! ]
no subject
Regis pulls a pair of pants from the rack that have similar buttons and then passes them to him.]
Why would I offer them to you to try on if I didn't wish you to?
[He seems quite confused by the notion.]
These pants should complete the set. Come, there are some fitting rooms back here.
no subject
Even if I might not able to afford them?
[ And Yuuji most likely won't be able to, with him being new here and broke as crap. He's never really paid much attention to fashion, but he can tell that those set of clothing would cost a fortune. They look so cool! He follows the man towards the fitting rooms anyway - he gets it if he gets shooed off after saying that, because hey, what're you here for if you got no money, right? ]
no subject
[He's more interested in seeing them in the possession of one who likes them so much.]
no subject
[ He keeps looking at the man, and then at the clothes in his hands back and forth. Even if Yuuji's no fashionista, just by the feel of the fabric against his skin he can tell that this is Good Stuff. ]
You made this, didn't you? [ Even if he didn't, still! ] I can't accept them for free!! Please let me do something in exchange!
no subject
I have many skills, but tailoring is not one of them. These were made by the natives of this world, but the line these clothes are from is carrying my family name and are reminiscent of those of my home world. It makes me happy to see people wearing them, hence my excitement. If you really wish to pay me back, wear them often and think kindly of any who you meet here from Eos. Most of them are Lucians. and as their king, that makes them my people and my family.
no subject
[ Don't make him cry, you good person you!! Of course Yuuji would wear it a lot!! He'd make sure to take care of the clothes very well too!!
Wait what did he just say? 'King'?! ]
Onii-- you're a--
[ Uwoooooahhh that's a sudden curve ball there, Yuuji wasn't able to dodge it in time and his brain freezes for a moment. Give him a few secs.
............
.........
.....
...
Okay. ]
THAT'S SO COOL!!!
[ Definitely not an indoor voice, but he can't help it! He's never met a king before! He's met the captain of all knights, though, which reminds him: ]
Say, you know someone called Goofy? Do Eos and Lucians have anything to do with the Disney Kingdom? Do you use keyblades to fight?!
[ Wh, whoops... ]
Sorry for the delay! RL is a THING lately!
Back in the gaggle of paparazzi that have been watching him, there is some amused whispering. They found out who he was a while ago, but boy doesn't such a strong reaction make for good news.]
I do know Goofy, though I haven't had the pleasure of speaking with him recently. He's told me some of his fight and king, but as far as I know, our kingdoms are not linked.
[He pauses a moment, expression becoming thoughtful before he continues.]
I recently did find out my world is connected to one I didn't know about previously, so who knows if that may end up being true for Goofy and his world. I know I would not mind the honor of meeting those he's spoken so highly of.
no worries at all, sorry for my delay too ;v;
[ Meanwhile, Yuuji is blissfully unaware of the paparazzi with all his attention directed towards this cool dude. All the more he's amazed, he didn't expect such a humble and kind gesture coming from a king! When in a different world, everyone's the same, that kinda thing? Still! He wants to show some respect so he does bow, albeit pretty casually. ]
My name is Yuuji Itadori, Your Majesty!! May I know your name too? Also do you have any preferences of how I call you?
[ Despite everything, it's probably not good to just call him Oniisan like this. He did mention his people are here too, so that might just get him sliced into pieces... Not an exciting idea. Even if it's not something he's never experienced, it's not something anyone will want to experience twice or more. ]
Linked kingdoms... All I knew was that a lot of us came from different worlds, but that kinda possibility exists too, huh.
[ Maybe his world and Zenitsu and the others' are the same too, just different eras, since they're pretty much doing similar stuff. Kinda. ]
Don't worry at all! \o/
[His face and tone of voice make it very clear he is just joking. In fact, he returns the bow he is given with a fair bit of formality. It's a habit and one he's had a lot of practice with.]
It is a pleasure to meet you, Yuuji. My name is Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII. Please just call me Regis. The whole name is quite a mouthful, isn't it?
[He nods then acknowledging the young man's words.]
It's not something I thought about before coming here either, though it is a fascinating topic. Perhaps we will learn more about it as we help restore this world.
no subject
[ Okay but the mental image of Regis with mouse ears and tail is kind of endearing. He's got the kind of sharp good looks that will go well with that! It's what they call 'gap moe' in Yuuji's country!! He laughs at that, but now he sorta really wants to see it. The image you've put in his head, Regis... ]
Regis Lucis Cae... [ He attempts, but mm. Yeah. That's indeed a mouthful. Memorising things isn't something he's bad at, but he's pretty sure he'll fuck it up, so he'll accept the kind suggestion. ] Regis-sama! Nice to meet you!! [ He does a polite good boy bow! ] ...Should I call you King Regis instead? Am I being rude? Will someone go and cut my head off?
[ Just in case, you know. ]
no subject
[There is another mental image for you, Yuuji. Enjoy.]
'Regis' will be just fine unless you really feel uncomfortable being so familiar with someone you are just meeting.
[Not someone who is royalty, just someone who is only an acquaintance at the moment. He really doesn't want anyone here treating him differently just because of who he was born.]
The only person who might give you a funny look for not calling me by a title is my fiance, Cor, but I think I've managed to train him out of cutting off people's heads. The natives here really don't like the violence.
[Is he joking? His expression seems serious enough, but his eyes are twinkling with good humor.]
no subject
[ Yuuji's jaws drop and there's no way to fix that anymore... jk, but he has now reduced into a parrot who just repeats what you say from sheer amazement. That's some wonderful mental image and he's definitely having some moe-fied image of Regis in his head now, thank you King Regis. ]
Nah! I don't mind if you don't mind!! [ Thumbs up with big smiles-- until he hears the cutting off people's heads bit. ] He what?! E, eeeh, are you pulling my legs?! Are you telling the truth?! I can't tell!! Does he cut off people's heads for living or something?!
[ Yuuji can be not gullible sometimes, but this time is not that time. ]
no subject
You could say he is my bodyguard, but he also does a lot more than that for me back home. He is one of my most trusted men, so there are things I have had to ask him to do on his own for the benefit of our country. He has never once let me down, and I don't suspect he ever will. He despises the nickname, but there are very good reasons people call him "The Immortal" all over Eos.
