event one | Happy St. Patrick's D-- wait what?

[tsunderator]

CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: April 1st~7th
RATING: PG at the worst, I suppose!
SUMMARY: Perhaps it's an April Fool's joke-- surely Saint Patrick's Day has already passed. And yet clovers rain down and the fountains run green regardless. But it's a nice welcome to The World regardless, so enjoy it while it lasts!


There's gold banners strung from rooftop to rooftop, catching the light of the eternally-setting sun and reflecting it every which way. The ground's already covered in a generous amount of fallen shamrocks, with no end in sight. They're in your hair, on your clothes, in your food-- everywhere!

The main fountain (as well as the smaller second fountain in the alchemy district) is running with fizzing green soda, glass mugs lined up along the edges invitingly. New characters will receive one of two items-- in the first half of the week, they'll be awarded a limited edition golden weapon to suit their class, adorned in emeralds. In the latter half (for later applicants), they'll receive a leprechaun hat. The size is entirely up to the player, so it can range from a cute, small hat a la lolita style, or a big floppy hat, or a dapper silk top hat.

Have a look around, meet others, and enjoy the Irish foods offered for free at NPC shops to go with the soda. All items earned are to stay!



There's even a young silver-haired GM dolled up in green silks at the quest kiosk available for questions, although he doesn't look particularly friendly. His body language says to Stay Away, despite his location right in the upper left corner of the town center.

( ooc | Please remember to tag your characters properly, and have fun! )

[ a very serious general is having to make just as much effort to avoid the NPCs, which explains why she doesn't manage to avoid him as well.

Also, these new clothes and the ridiculously large sword held over her shoulder aren't really helping her balance. ]

I am equally to blame. Please excuse me.

[dragonsjaw]

You are too gracious. [ he takes a step back to give her some space to move. But hey, she looks... commanding, maybe she has some idea where this weird place is. ]

I apologise for delaying you but would you happen to know where this place is, Madame?

[blessedrose]

[ so much apologising. Her mouth quirks but she considers the question with gravity. ]

You are in Mac Anu, called the 'aqua city' as a reference to its waterways. [ hairflickanimation.gif ] Unfortunately, it has no relation to anywhere either of us might recognise as home.

[dragonsjaw]

What do you mean by that? [ the concept is just too fantastical for him to fully grasp even if he's beginning to come to some understanding. ]

We couldn't have simply been spirited away from our rightful place....

[blessedrose]

[ well, according to Steiner's reports, the Terrans possessed this level of technology. What's one more world? ]

It is difficult to believe, but even on my own Gaia, I have encountered a man with the power to force you between reality and illusion. A year ago I would not have countenanced it.

[dragonsjaw]

I see... though it is nigh unbelievable I see no other possible explanation.

[ the problem is that under such circumstances how do they reverse the situation. He can't bear the thought of abandoning his kingdom. ]

[blessedrose]

Indeed. For its part, this place is not unwelcoming. [ she says, as another NPC arrives with a tray of something luridly green. ]

[dragonsjaw]

Perhaps not but I cannot be away from my country in such a time. [ not when they're preparing to strike finally. ]

[blessedrose]

Oh? Are your comrades so incompetent? [ yes she's half-teasing him. ]

[dragonsjaw]

No! It is just... [ finally they can pursue the dream that Prime Minister left them again... ]

I must return.
