♥ December Event Log

December (Ranir) Event Log
The city of Havenwell is recovering very well thanks to your efforts, offworlders. The hole in the wall is sealed up and, while maybe not looking like new, it certainly looks sturdy and safe. The city itself has removed much of the rubble from the battles you fought, and the people are back to their regularly scheduled lives. They're eternally grateful that you continue to put in the time to rebuild this final bastion of civilization and are pleased to see that you enjoyed their festivals so far. As the weather of Ranir turns colder and the nights longer, some may even see snow dust the cobblestone and paved streets in the morning. The time of Rawna has come and with it...
❥ PROMPT I: At Least It's Not a Sweater

Normally when a new season belonging to a god rolls around, the temple priests gear up and start with temple festivities. Seeing how this is Rawna's month, however, nothing much of the sort seems to be happening. In fact, it's almost as if Rawna's priests don't even care that their god's season has started. Rawna is, after all, chiefly the god of Apathy, so is it all that surprising?
What might be surprising is the sight of Ainea's priests in pairs out around the city in their stead. Each pair carries with them a single bright silver sash and they alternatively stand in broad daylight or hide in the shadows of the buildings. Walk by on your own and you'll be left alone, but when the priests spot two people walking even remotely near each other, they spring into action.
The two robotic priests zip around you and another person with surprising speed, tying the sash off around you - either around your wrists, your waists, your legs, whatever it takes to tie you to another person. With a triumphant buzz of excitement, they declare "Happy Ranir! Kindness comes in many forms!" and depart to find a new pair ofvictims patrons. As they leave, one of the pair calls out an additional clue for you: "Be kind to unwind!"
Good luck, everyone, you're now stuck with this other person. You can either wait until the sash naturally falls off in a few hours, or you can take the direction of the priests and be kind to the other person to encourage the magical knot to come undone. Each compliment, word of encouragement, or other act of kindness directed at your new partner seems to loosen the sash a little each time, so get to winning the Niceness War.
Oh, and in case you were thinking of blasting, teleporting, or cutting your way out? No amount of magic or physical force seems capable of cutting or removing the sash. Hopefully you went to the bathroom before they got you.

❥ PROMPT II: A Delicious Delight
After a long hard day of dodging Ainea's priests or just slogging through the colder weather around the city, what could be better than imbibing a seasonally festive drink? Well, the scientists in charge of Experiment 73 certainly think so! They've added a limited edition drink selection to all of the replicators and have some delightfully festive booths spread about the city staffed by a few robots wearing Rawna's colors in their sashes and hats. There are five drinks in total to choose from and you should certainly try them! They're only here until the end of the month and then the scientists say they'll be gone! The best things in life are fleeting, aren't they? The best things in life are also surprises, so when you take a sip of these exquisitely delicious (honest! For once they're good) beverages, prepare yourself for a little trick with your treat.
- Ginger and Honey Tea: A hot, thoroughly warming drink with the bite of ginger and the sweetness of honey. Drink this and you'll be shored up against the cold, but also feel compelled to tell or blurt out the truth. Whether you're asked a question or trying to tell a little white lie, you find you can't say anything but the truth. This effect lasts for up to an hour after drinking the tea.
- Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie: A cold sweet treat of vanilla smoothie topped with sweet strawberry pieces and whipped cream. At the bottom, you'll find a layer of sweet sponge cake cut up into pieces. Drink this with its own special thick straw and enjoy the taste of cake; and the effect of a personal miniature snow cloud that appears over your head. The cloud dusts you and your immediate area within a foot of you with beautiful multicolored snow - and that snow leaves splotches of color behind that last for up to an hour after drinking the smoothie.
- Hot Cinnamon Apple Cider: A deliciously steamy beverage that tastes of apple and cinnamon and comes with a cinnamon stick stirrer for effect. This beverage smells as delicious as it tastes and the aroma wafts around the area more strongly than the others. Drink this penultimate holiday drink and you'll find yourself heating up so much that you'll want to stay cold by giving your heat away via holding someone else. You'll want to be everyone's personal heater for up to an hour after drinking the cider.
- Gingerbread Latte: A nice piping hot latte with the hint of gingerbread threaded through the coffee, topped with whipped cream and dusted with gingerbread spice. Served in a tall red cup that seems to transfer the heat uncannily well through its thin walls, sip this and you'll find yourself painlessly sprouting an animal's appendage at random. You can have one functioning or non-functioning, cosmetic animal appendage like a cat's ears, a dog's tail, a duck's beak or whatever else you can think of for up to an hour after drinking the latte. They can replace your original body part (e.g. your ears become cat ears) or grow superfluously (e.g. you have regular ears AND cat ears). You can move the appendages or talk with them as if they are your own, but they don't confer any special magical powers with them. So you can fly with those griffin wings, sure, but you're going to need to put the effort into it.
- Hot Mulled Wine (alcoholic): This one isn't for children - and in fact, under 18 people might find it hard (but not impossible, be industrious, little ones!) to get their hands on this drink. Red wine is heated with spices and citrus fruit over low heat for several hours - or it would if it wasn't all synthetically created. The effect is the same though, a delicious adult beverage that's a nice way to spend an evening with someone special. And you'll want them to be someone special because drinking the hot wine makes you inclined to get a little steamy with people. Kisses, both chaste and passionate, seem to alleviate the urge which you'll be under for up to an hour after drinking the wine.
❥ PROMPT III: Winter (VR) Wonderland

There isn't quite enough snow on the ground to allow it in reality, but in the VR Cafes anything is possible. This month, the VR Cafes are decorated with snowflakes in odd patterns and designs - holograms, naturally - that spin and change shape and color in a timed routine. Plug into the games and you'll find a new selection among the usual offerings: Winter Wonderland.
There are two modes to Winter Wonderland and each are fun in their own ways.
Snow Fight! Head out into the powdery snow where fantastic snow forts await and battle it out with snowballs to claim the most territory or just see who can hit the other side the most. You can choose Team Battle, Solo 1vs1, or Battle Royale. All magic, skills, and cunning are at your disposal. While the snow might not be falling outside, it's definitely going to be raining down on you here, so bundle up and have some fun. You earned it!
Ski Lodge But maybe you don't want to go flinging snow down someone's shirt and would rather cuddle up on a couch in front of a big warm fire, huh? Sure, we understand that. Welcome to the Ski Lodge, a cozy getaway up in the mountains where you can relax with a hot chocolate (or cider, or glass of wine even) and curl up on the couches and experience a lazy afternoon in thick fluffy sweaters. It's even better with a friend, they say, so why not create this private little getaway for the two (or three or four, we're not judging) of you? For people wanting a romantic lean, you can always slip out the back (and out of your clothes if you prefer) into the private jacuzzi on the wooden deck, too.
For people who want to have some fun tearing it up on the mountain-side though, we suggest trying Ski-venture! A year-round game that lets you ski or snowboard your way down the mountain.

❥ PROMPT IV: A Mysterious Gift [REGAIN EVENT]
Toward the end of the month starting from the 20th and on, some people may find themselves drawn to Rawna's temple late at night, when most of the priests are offline or elsewhere. The only native creatures you can see here are the fledgling rainbow dragons which watch you from their various perches all around the sanctum. As you approach the temple's altar, you realize someone else has been drawn here as well. In the quiet, dim lighting, the barest of candles still burning and the watchful eyes of the dragons, you feel compelled to unburden yourself to the other person. Tell your tale of woe or sorrow, relieve yourself of a secret you've kept hidden for too long, and listen to your companion as well. They say a burden shared is a burden halved after all.
Once you've both shared something, a pair of dragonlings crawl up into the altar's clawed hands. They wind around each other until an iridescent light shines from their scales. The light is blinding and you must look away as it reaches its pinnacle and releases a burst of rainbow light. When you look back, the dragonlings are slithering away and in their places are two objects - one familiar to you and one to your partner - so long as both of you have shared. It seems your tithe has been rewarded with something from home.
OOC: These items from home must be approved by a mod. They cannot exceed the Medium Item regain limit. It cannot be a power or other ability. It cannot be something your character did not own or have knowledge of in their canon or their CRAU. Please post your regain request in the Regain Request thread before threading out the receipt of the item.

no subject
It brings out how much your eyes shine. [ ANOTHER COMPLIMENT. Hence, more loosening of the bonds. ]
no subject
But this is just way too much, and so sudden! A shocking attack that distracts Kyoko from the gentle slackening of their ties. She can only frantically shake her head, cheeks a deep pink. ]
N-no! That's going too far! Coming from a great beauty like you!
[ Did it just slacken a bit more? ]
no subject
[ --Oh, now they're really loose. ]
no subject
But they are really loose, Kyoko notices it now. Holding her hands up, she lets out a wavery, squeaky sort of mumble. ]
Ah... you're good....
no subject
I'm surprised you haven't heard such things before! [ About her eyelashes, how cute she is, and so on... ] I'd think anyone would know how sweet you are the moment they met you!
no subject
No... that's really going too far. But jeez, you're efficient! I didn't even get a chance to talk about your smooth skin or silky hair. Or, I guess I was just too shocked....
no subject
She laughs again. ]
Now that's's just being silly.
[ Because it sounds cliche to her ears. ] As if... as if it were taken out of a romance novel.
no subject
[ Kyoko reels back, sheer horror written across her face. ]
It's not! I promise it's not! I'm pretty sure I've never read one! Unless it's a deeply buried repressed memory!
[ All her romantic ideals, when she used to have them, came directly out of fairy tale picture books thank you very much. ]
That's just the kind of things girls say to each other! Right?
no subject
[ A smile as she repeats, ]
You have very smooth skin and silky hair, too.
[ But just for added flavor, because that alone sounds like hollow parroting: ] ...Like you were born to be seen and heard.
[ This woman has wonderful expressions and such a bold voice. Qualities like that are valuable. ]
no subject
But the compliments keep coming, bringing an extra wave of uncertainty with them. Born to be seen and heard? That's just objectively wrong. The lady is smiling as nicely as ever, but.... Folding her hands in front of her, Kyoko gives a wary smile. ]
Ah, I get it.... That really isn't how girls talk to each other, huh? I guess I knew that, but.... I should have tried harder to pull my weight from the beginning. I'm sorry.
no subject
As for her comment, she shakes her head. ] Oh, no. This-- I can't imagine it would have worked without the both of us doing what we can. [ Much like she cannot hold her own hand to honor the gods. ]
What is your name?
no subject
... Kyoko Mogami. [ She gives a quick, but very proper bow, her back straight as a board when she springs up again. How lucky in uncertain times like this that she can fall back on manners. ] Really though, I can't thank you enough for taking charge like that. You knew just what to do!
no subject
[ Notcing the bow, Pyra gives a polite one in tandem, only straightening to smile thereafter. ]
The priests did give us a good clue. I'm sure you' would have been able to figure it out yourself, too!
no subject
Of course, if you weren't so skilled and swift, I wouldn't have had any problems. Even after your clear complexion and perfectly thick rose red hair, there would still be that unbelievable bombshell figure of yours to go over, and the soft but mature curves to your face. ... That would almost get us there, right?
no subject
[ Saying something like, out of a story, describing her hair and skin like that!! The figure part, not so much, but it's just so funny to hear coming from someone who looks so remorseful. ]
no subject
Her frown is genuinely puzzled now, brow wrinkled over round eyes. ]
But I didn't... do anything? Should I still be more specific? Like how the way you hold yourself gives you the air of a holy warrior princess?
no subject
Sure, the touch as they have been bound by the ribbon may count, but now that they are free... Once more, Pyra offers her hand for her to take, as if to maintain it. If she does not wish it, her hand will drop to her side. ] You flatter me.
[ And even though the enchantment is broken, she'll give one last compliment. ]
I suppose... you seem very fairy-like yourself. [ Petite, slender, and with eyes that capture such emotion in them. ] It's a pleasure to know you.
no subject
[ Even if Kyoko had planned to accept Pyra's hand, it goes forgotten now. Her face is just very soft surprise for a moment, eyes big, the faintest brush of pink in the crests of her cheeks.
Then the blush flares up to take over her whole face for a moment, her gaze dipping. Ah, she's being silly. ]
Thank you... but that's definitely too much.
no subject
[ Then, she steps away. ] Is there... anything else you need from me?
no subject
[ She shakes her head quickly, a brief blur of red cheeks. ]
No!! You've done a lot--really, a lot! Please don't trouble yourself any longer!
no subject
