event three | this isn't your average mahou shoujo

[chims]

CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: May 1st~5th
RATING: G
SUMMARY: To some it's May Day, to others it's the European tradition of Walpurgisnacht-- in The World, we have both for you! There's no dungeons to raid or items to collect this go around, just stop by for free food, bonfires, and maybe some reward items just for your time.


[ A message beeps on everyone's devices the night of the 30th, nearing midnight. Any heavy sleepers or goody two-shoes may miss out on The World's first bonfire, but it probably won't be the last. The message is simple: an invitation to Δ Roaring Midnight's* Old World for good food and a midnight celebration for Walpurgisnacht.

And an alternative come 6AM for Δ Endless Sunshine's* May Queen*, if they'd prefer a daytime picnic and a dance around the maypole.

So what'll it be, Players? ]


( ooc: As these are special event areas, some of the words in these do not exist for player creation. "Midnight's", "Sunshine's", and "May Queen" are some of them! There'll be different event items to earn by attending either of these, and you don't need to pick one or the other. Apologies again for the delay, and for the number of event logs! There'll typically only be two a month or so. )

Δ Roaring Midnight's Old World

[chims]

[ There isn't a monster in sight in this midnight field area. There's fireflies around and three bonfires lit not too far from the warp entrance on the beach, the only sounds being crickets, the crackling of the fire, and the soft roar of the ocean. The stars are out in full bloom and it doesn't seem like there's far to wander-- the entire area is only two islands and the one you're on has the temple on it. There are no plateaus and there's only a faint breeze blowing off the ocean.

All in all, it's a warm night and there's some pretty tasty-looking BBQ foods roasting over the bonfires. Shishkabobs in various styles (shrimp, veggie, beef), German wursts, a pot here and there of different soups with bread nearby, buckets of ice with bottled green soda, juices, teas, and waters, as well as caraffes of hot coffee for the older Players. There's NPCs preparing the food, all in masks depicting witches and golems whether they're wearing them on their face or not. There's even more already dancing around the bonfire, but their movements are a little hollow-- pre-programmed. Why not have a go and show them how its done? Their AIs may pick up on your moves and look a little more lively. Or just have a seat and stuff yourself silly. Or further yet, enjoy the nice night and let the others ring in summer. ]

( ooc: for participating in walpurgis night, everyone will get a loaded tray of leftovers and a mask of their choice! all masks are an equipped accessory that has a 25% chance of inflicting blindness and poisoning enemies. )

Δ Endless Sunshine's May Queen

[ It's a lovely morning field in Endless Sunshine's May Queen, with picnic blankets laid out, pitchers of iced lemonade, and flowering may trees all throughout this shrine dungeon area. The buildings don't lead anywhere, but why would you want to go inside? It's a beautiful day out, and the ribbons around that maypole are just begging to be picked up and woven around the pole. The foods available are more Irish/Gaelic in nature, as a homage to May Day's origins. ]

( ooc: all participants in the may day event will get a ribbon sash accessory equipped with an item that has a 25% chance of inflicting paralysis or burns on enemies. whoever participates in the maypole dance and is the first to reach the pole with the end of their ribbon will be crowned may queen/king and given a never-withering crown of flowers. )
