ANNOUNCEMENTS, FRIEND ADD/REMOVE AND EVENT

[lucetimods]

Four quick announcements before we get to the meat and potatoes of this post.

ONE. If you are new, please for the love of God GO HERE and add your contact information so we can get ahold of you. It's really very useful for everyone involved, thank you. It's f-locked, so if you don't have this journal friended you won't see it.

TWO. Don't forget to sign up over here in the recruitment post with ONE COMMENT PER CHARACTER if you'd like your precious little lamb to be sent off to the slaughter battle.

THREE. Please. PLEEEEEEASE make sure you're on the friends add list. Go over there right now. C/P all of the ADD LISTS and dump them into Wordpad. Then CTRL + F and type in the username of your character journal(s) to make sure they are on there. So many people get overlooked just because they forget to go back to the friends add and ask to be added.

Also, here's the Friend Add/Remove for this app cycle, about ten days late. FUN.

FOUR. By popular demand, a rule regarding how soon one can reserve/apply for a character after a release date has been added. Please check it out here (number 18). To sum it up, one week after the Stateside release (concerning games), you may apply for a character. IF there is no release announced within two months of the overseas release, then you may apply for that character. If you're unsure, ask us.




...Lastly.



This event will last from Midnight (that is, early morning) of the 21st to Midnight (that is, the evening) of the 28th. So basically the event ends as apps open. This is what will happen.

• For those of you that recall previous Valentine's Day events, this is somewhat similar in that it uses the journals. What happens is that any time between the 21st to the 28th, when someone makes an entry, the first person to comment on it will fall victim to this new "experiment." The commenter and the OP of the post will fall in love with each other.
  
  *Once this happens, it's set for the remainder of the event. So say Estelle is the first commenter on Judy's post; they will fall in love. But then Judy goes on and is the first commenter on Vash's post; EVEN IF VASH IS SINGLE, it doesn't count. It would go to the next single commenter.
  
  *You can make your post ANYWHERE from the 21st to the 28th and so long as it's their FIRST POST OF THE WEEK, your character can fall in love.
  
  *If you have any preferences -namely, if you want two specific characters to get together- we suggest you plan it out beforehand with the mun so they can tag first. Likewise, if you don't want your character to fall for another character, we would suggest you refrain from being the first commenter.
  
  
• Unlike the previous two events -this is where it gets fun- when characters fall in love they will be under the impression that they have always been in love with their new significant other. This can be handled multiple ways.
  
  *If your character doesn't know the other person, it can be hilarious. They can claim to have loved them in a previous life, love them as a soulmate that has been constantly searching for their other, etc etc. Any poetic BS you can come up with. Or they can outright lie:
  
  Zoro: Nami, you don't even know this guy! How can you say you've loved him your entire life?!
  
  Nami: I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I'VE LOVED- what's your name?
  
  Arthur: Arthur-
  
  Nami: I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ARTHUR AND I ALWAYS WILL!
  
  Like so.
  
  *If your characters know each other, they can take completely random and platonic events and spin them to be romantic. For example, say that one day Xanxus was hanging up his laundry outside to dry so it would smell sweet and fresh, and Colette came along and threw it on the ground and stamped on it. But lo- they fall in love! So then Xanxus would go, "Sweetheart sugar love buttercup fluff...do you remember the day you threw all my laundry in the dirt?" And Colette would say, "Yes, but I did it because I wanted to see you naked." And then Xanxus would go, "My, but that is not proper dearest! Still, that's so cute. I love you." And they kiss.
  
  ...please note that the above was obviously not decent characterization. Obviously you should try and remain as IC as possible.
  
  *Basically, go nuts with it. If you think it encroaches upon the godmoding/metagaming rule, ask permission from the other mun. That's it.
  
  
• THE DAY OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH, meaning from morning to evening (about 7 AM EST to 11 PM EST) the central courtyard with the fountain will be transformed into a cornucopia of ~love~! The ground will be neatly cobbled, there will be big, beautiful willow trees with white flowers all around the courtyard that occasionally burst forth a flurry of pristine petals into the wind. The fountain itself will be transformed to have two lovers embracing standing atop it, locked together romantically and staring deep into each other's lifeless eyes. It will also flow with a delicious liquid that tastes like grape juice to minors and fine sweet wine to adults; metal goblets will materialize along the edge for any to take, and if they do indeed decide to chance it, they'll find that for an hour after drinking the juice/wine they'll be unreasonably affectionate (platonically, romantically, however you wanna play it).
  
  Adorable little birds will be nesting in the willow trees, cuddling with each other and chirping at any passersby just how much they love each other. A gold plate now adorns the fountain and on it is a heart with the word "Dragobete" inked in it with beautiful script. Peeking through the cobblestones are little snowdrop plants, which when picked and handed to someone else, give the receiver the desperate urge to kiss the gifter.
  
  
  
  NO THIS EVENT IS NOT MANDATORY. You should probably specify somewhere in your post that your character is unaffected, and any resulting comments will, of course, not be affected.
  

And there you have it! Naturally, any questions may be asked here.

[Yaaaaaaaay]

/falls into abyss of awesomeness

Oh hey I don't have him added, weird. Because this pairing is almost canon but impossible to play. Eddie is going to be the most clingy/affectionate boyfriend ever and anyone who's forced to witness this will either swoon or vomit.

[nadarejin.livejournal.com]

/there is no abyss of awesomeness

Oh, really. Just to spite him, Leonardo should do the latter. Just to be mean.

[myrmidawn.livejournal.com]

/I just made it, I'm that awesome

Well yes but that's because I hate pushing ships

YA RLY. Then Edward will be even meaner!

[nadarejin.livejournal.com]

WE CAN FAIL AT THIS TOGETHER.

YEAH YA RLY. Fine. Everytime you disagree with Eddie you're going to be pelted with love until you stop.

[myrmidawn.livejournal.com]

oh nothing at all. You never liked those idiots who came between us anyway, right?

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THOSE.

[nadarejin.livejournal.com]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FIRST IS ABOUT BUT THE SECOND IS A COMIC BASED ON THEIR HISTORY. YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT, I'M SURE.

[myrmidawn.livejournal.com]

Tee hee. My Leo is my Leo. MY Leo.

...APPARENTLY THE THIRD PANEL OF THE FIRST IS 'MEN CAN'T GET TOGETHER THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.' IF MY FRIEND ISN'T SCREWING WITH ME.

[erinilliana.livejournal.com]

-- I NEED TO HAVE MY FRIEND TRANSLATE FOR ME. THAT IS. I FIGURED AS MUCH BUT. DANG IT, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

[myrmidawn.livejournal.com]

My Leo says the silliest things. You don't mean that, right?

RIGHT?

MY FRIEND JUST WENT TO BED THIS IS TORTURE.

[erinilliana.livejournal.com]

INDEED IT IS. WHY CAN I ONLY READ NAMES. Quick let's fill it in on our own and see how hilariously off it is from the actual text.

[sukimahag.livejournal.com]

...I really want to do this in-game. I'm a monster.

OKAY. FIRST PANEL.

Leo: 'All this time, that idiot never realised.'

'How stupid he looked in that outfit.'

[erinilliana.livejournal.com]

. . .

OH GODDESS, I SUCK AT THIS. I can't. Think of anything for the next epic panel.

[sukimahag.livejournal.com]

/SOB

FINE

Leo: EDWARD YOU MORON! THOSE TROUSERS LIKE TOTALLY CLASH WITH YOUR TUNIC!

[nadarejin.livejournal.com]

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

Leo: But it's all right, you can always wear my trousers.

[myrmidawn.livejournal.com]
