Event!

First things first: I want to once again toss out a huge, huge thank you to everyone who so generously donated to [personal profile] lucetifunds during the move. We've used up almost all of the funds now and have fulfilled all of the requests for donated paids. Thanks to those who donated, we were able to distribute the equivalent of 45 paid accounts! Wow!

Secondly, the part you guys really care about:

~EVENT TIME~

Well, it's almost that time of year! That special day that all of you have been waiting for is at last coming. That's right:

the release of Tales of the Ab Valentine's Day!

And as usual we will be having an event! It will begin on February 12th at 12:01 AM and end on February 18th at 11:59 PM.


That Lovey-Dovey Bit

For those unaware and/or new to Luceti, it's a tradition to, every year, have characters fall in love at random for the duration of this event. By now, many characters expect to be falling in love via the journals. However, this year that will not be the case! Since many (if not most) of these relationships are pre-planned, characters this year will simply be drawn to their partner, regardless of how they meet or who they might have spoken to beforehand. For example, if Masa and I agreed that Ling and Suki would be a couple, they could both wake up in their homes, greet their housemates, go about a normal day - or indeed several days, if we wanted the event to begin for them later on in the week! - and then, suddenly, upon meeting by chance, love would blossom! These meetings can take place in any way, whether they be over the journals or in person.

There is something of a catch. Similarly to the Luceti Valley AU event, the perceptions of affected characters will be altered as soon as the romance begins so that it seems completely normal. Suki wouldn't find loving Ling to be that unusual or disturbing, since naturally she's never been in love with or even engaged to Sokka! And Sokka, if affected, wouldn't be bothered at all because hey, Suki's always been free to love someone else. On the other hand, if (for example) Katara was unaffected, she would wonder what kind of cactus juice her crazy brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law have been drinking. But she's just insane to suggest that they've been engaged all this time, so no one really listens to her...

For the most part it should be an uncomplicated alternate reality - a little silly, perhaps, and after the fact characters might find it hard to believe there was any logic to it all, but for the sake of simplicity feel free to just go "a wizard Shifter did it" and roll with it. :|b

Much like last year, you have some freedom about how these pairings can be played out. Here's the options/explanations from last time:

Love At First Sight: Characters A and B talk on the journals or in person, fall in love, everything's coming up roses. Easy. (Note that, in this scenario, the trigger only works if neither A nor B has already fallen for someone else.)

Always In Love: Characters A and B, when they fall in love via the mechanism explained above, believe they have always been in love, and just not realized it until this very magical moment!

Lost The Spark: Characters A and B fall in love, believe they have in fact always been in love... but it's been too long. The spark is gone, the love has faded, and now all they can do is fight over practically nothing. Characters do NOT need to have ever interacted before to use this option!

Existing Love Amped to Eleven: Characters already in love can suddenly become the most ridiculously sappy love-dove fools in the world.

Soap Opera Love Triangles: A delightful threesome (Characters A, B, and C are all in love together) or unrequited love (Characters A and B are in love, Character C loves one or both yet is unloved by either).


That Big One-Day Lovefest

Again, like last year and the year before, a single day has been set aside for some extra-fun festivities. That day will be Saturday the 18th, and a log will be posted for it. On that day characters and couples may inexplicably be drawn (or even directly teleported!) to the beach, where they'll find that the weather is beautiful: warm, sunny, and fresh as a mild summer day.

The beach has become peppered with palm trees, but rather than coconuts, they're growing a star-shaped fruit that some characters might find a little familiar. And much like last year, the fruit may seem almost irresistable, giving characters the urge to share with someone - anyone who might be nearby, regardless of the character effects already in place- in other words, even if your character loves another, they can still hook up with someone random for a bit of fruity fun. Depending on the ripeness and flavour of the fruit, it may have a varying effect:

Mild/Nearly Ripe = sudden, fruit-inspired friendship! Characters feel the urge to spend some time together, hang out, get to know one another. Even if they didn't know one another beforehand. Even if they hated each other.

Sweet = innocent puppy love! Awkward hand-holding, cheek-kisses, long and romantic walks on the beach. Just kids being cute kids in love.

Perfect = true, passionate love. You want to hold them, to kiss them, to be with that person forever. Or at least until tomorrow.

Sour = ....hi, hormones. Suddenly finding a nice, quiet place to get naked to know one another would be great. Your place or mine?

Characters affected by the fruit might need or want to find a place to hang out, have fun, or get fuzzy with one another, and Luceti is more than happy to supply a place for them! For the duration of that day (and the next, for those... waking up) the mountainside will be decorated with cozy, private hobbit holes, each one styled for different activities. Maybe one will be a game room, or a cozy lounge area to hang out. One could be decorated with furniture and food for a romantic dinner for two. One could be full of couches for those delicious makeout sessions. And one could look something like this. What room will your characters get? Who knows...

The fruit's effect can last as long or as short as you want, depending on the strength of the flavour and how much they eat. For example, if you want characters to get awkwardly frisky but not go all the way, the fruit's effects can wear off before anything happens.

The hobbit holes will be gone by the end of the event- if characters are still inside it when it ends, it will lock once they leave and be Shifted away shortly after. The trees, too, will be gone.


A Few Final Notes

As usual, this event is optional. Characters can be unaffected if you so choose, left to shake their heads at the silliness of their friends, or they can join in.

Feel free to mix and match your options as much as you like, or to change things later on in the event period (such as choosing "Always In Love" and then switching to "Lost the Spark" partway through).

Due to the fact that Luceti isn't a sex game, if you decide to go all-out with the paopu fruit section of the event and want to play out the sex rather than a fade-to-black, please keep it in character entries (clearly marked) or, if it starts on a log, move it to an appointment post. We're fine with it being played out! We'd just like to keep the log ratings down for the sake of everyone. Thanks!

Don't forget the dates: February 12th to the 18th. Feel free to use this entry to plot, discuss, and ask questions. And have fun!

I have no plans and would really like some ;_; anyone out there willing for a little plot? Doesn't have to be super romantic or anything, I just don't want to feel left out.

Iiii dunno, the fallout over that has potential to be really, really bad.
bamfing: (Deep in thought)

[personal profile] bamfing 2012-02-07 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's true. Things only seem like crack until they get in game.
kineticcajun: (Saaay now.)

[personal profile] kineticcajun 2012-02-07 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I would be all over it were it not for the fact that she's dating Kurt. XD;; That ups the post-event difficulty to levels I'm not sure would be a good idea.

You know I am always up for plot, Kazzi. Most of my characters are pretty much already taken, match-wise, unless Luna and me decide not to hook up Regal and Gelda this year. In which case you could match someone up with Gelda.

But even so, there are Paopu fruits which are the most convenient plotdevice ever, so... Any character of mine + Any character of yours, really! Pick your pick!
crisisrain: (Pink Lady)

[personal profile] crisisrain 2012-02-07 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Gelda could be fun to plot with! Since we have no CR already it could end up pretty amusing and confusing.

Maybe Roji and Seto could do a friendship paopu? They need some ~bonding~ time.
silverworld: (Tell me more)

[personal profile] silverworld 2012-02-07 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeexcellent. We'll say Paopu fruit for now, and I'll let you know if it turns out Gelda is 'single' for the event.

Raven or Alvin? XD

Would Mithos like to be friends with Roji for a day...

I can only donate a "winged unicorn" ([personal profile] canterlock) and a pilot, but I'm open to anything.

You know, anything within reason.

Sounds good! Which fruit would you rather we try out?

Ah, man. Hisoka is going to kill Tsuzuki for this, even if it's not his fault.
lostinmyway: (Giles and Ginia are so cute together!)

Also keywords, sob.

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-02-07 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I start my next job in ten minutes but for when I'm done, COME AT ME AND I SHALL (SOON) COME AT YOU!

Nooooormaaaaaa~ ♥

[personal profile] ombra_lira 2012-02-07 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweet or perfect! Those are my choices :3 Since, well, they do mild pretty well on their own.
lostinmyway: (Hmm?)

On the one hand, this is hilarious and after getting over the initial general embarrassment, Martel will be laughing herself to a brand new death while Kratos and Yuan feel awkward forever, which would we glorious to behold both in and out of character. On the other hand, a green-haired person among us has to return to house 52 afterwards, and then this wondrous love story ends with Luceti Fried Seraph Wings in possibly up to three different colors depending on who strikes first.

I'd say hell let's rope Kath into this what's ten more years of age gap right, but Mithos' already hanging out with Jeb. So first he's dating a human then his sister left him for the other guys forrealz and also possibly banged Kratos.

I vote yes pending Kath input. Kath are you in the general vicinity and will Mithos' brain asplode.

I mean, asplode MORE.

:D awesome!

I'm not sure what I'm doing with Alvin at the moment if I'm honest, so I need to kind of sit back and decide a gameplan if I'm going to keep him. It's a bit of a grey area for me right now, so would Raven be ok?
tailasoldastime: (LIGHTBULB)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-02-07 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohmygod, yay!

They'll be the most awkward thing ever! And have the sweetest of dates.

Shouldn't be anything beyond that, though, considering the 5-year age gap (not to mention the fur... oh poor Pilhouette after the event...).
fortunefail: (I rule - u don't)

[personal profile] fortunefail 2012-02-07 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
But baby, who says Mithos even has to find out in the first place?

/wink wink

/nudge nudge



Yeah let's wait for Kath input, then.

Raven would be awesome! ♥

To end up with such a gorgeous woman on Valentines is going to make this old man's day xD Even if it ends badly.

Hakkai should see Homura be all lovey dovey with Ayumu (PMK version). A whole new side to everyone's favorite demi-god.

Yuan, dear, you're talking to a pro mastermind liar, here. It's you beginners I'm worried about. Knowing Kratos, he'll go brood in a highly visible place and be suspicious as hell, and you'll fudge your excuses. Or not even make any. Also you'll both blush like schoolgirls. You'd blow my flawless cover that the two of you had fallen helplessly in love with each other and that I'd gone over to save Luceti from ending up like the Dragons' Nest upon the experiment's end.

Wait no that ends in glorious long hair in the rain, no one'd believe that excuse from me. Dammit.
