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! )

[After removing every bit of green he could from himself and trashing the gaudy golden swords he'd been given (terrible isn't his style, thanks), Yuber's moved on to drifting from spot to spot on the edges of the confused crowd, typically finding a place to lean against and cross his arms in a manner that comes off as unapproachable.

For the most part, he doesn't go far from the quest kiosk. He's eavesdropping on what everyone else is asking the GM; less work for him and they're all going to ask the same things anyway...]

[sillybutts]

[ And leave it to Silabus to zero in on the usual antisocial types! They tend to be the ones that need help the most, if Haseo was any indication. He approaches tentatively, but with a warm smile. ]

Hello! ...You're new to The World, right? My name's Silabus. I'd like to help if there's anything you don't understand! My memory's a little but fuzzy, still, but I regularly play this game and have been here before.

[eightdevilsallaround]

[ Silabus, no, don't approach the dangerous ones, what are you-- well, he's lucky Yuber has already realized he can't kill anyone in this wretched town, so instead he gives him a cold stare. What is he being asked here? If he's new to...]

A game?

[sillybutts]

[ Oh, right. If they're new, they don't already know-- that was rude of him. ]

Oh, I'm sorry! In my world, everything here is a computer game called The World. It's a massive multiplayer online game, but this is a little different-- no one was stuck inside the actual world of the game. But here, we are.

Are you familiar with technology? I'm not assuming you aren't, it's just common that a lot of people that come here aren't. We're all from different worlds, you know?

[eightdevilsallaround]

[The World. Massive multiplayer... No, that isn't ringing any bells, but at least this one seems more helpful than the lazy man in green at the kiosk.]

...so it's just another world with different rules. [What a pain.] Is there some power that keeps people from fighting here?

[uwawa]

[ someone is staring at you silently over here.

well she would be if she didn't think out loud. ] Do I know him? He seems familiar...feels? Um, um but this isn't the same place, right? So I don't know anyone...?

[ confused spin here. ] Um...was it that time at the castle? Wait, which castle... Oh no, I think I forgot again.

[eightdevilsallaround]

[ And someone is staring back at the someone who is staring at him. What is she mumbling on about over there?

He keeps on watching, not inclined to go over and ask, though there is something vaguely familiar about Viki. On the other hand, he's met enough people who act like a fool, they all tend to meld together into one unmemorable stereotype. It could be that. ]

[uwawa]

[ she yelps and turns away when she notices him staring back... which is probably a thirty second delay from when he started staring back. ]

Oh no, staring is rude, Viki will yell at me. [ oh, that triggers a bit of a memory. ]

Viki...Nash? Wait, Nash wasn't grumpy.

[eightdevilsallaround]

[ Now he's just going to stare at her until she gives up and wanders off again, if that ever even happens. ]

[uwawa]

[ don't you know Yuber? idiots don't give up.

she glances behind her. ] Is there someone else there?

[ huh, he's staring at her. she should approach him clearly. ]

Um! [ coming right at you Yuber. ] Are you... [ she is going through as many names as she can remember so it takes a while for her to actually finish that. ] Wait, Nash had shorter hair.

Did I teleport into you somewhere before?

[eightdevilsallaround]

[ Yuber is an idiot magnet.

But that other name is vaguely familiar. Nash...? One of the bishop's men? Which means this girl is from the same world. Not that he plans on confirming it to her. ]

No. You haven't.

[uwawa]

[ chaos and idiots go hand in hand? ]

Um...so I don't know you? Why do I feel like...

[eightdevilsallaround]

[ That must be it! ]

That's what I just told you.
