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! )

I haven't, either! A friend of mine spoke sometimes about one called Innocent Sin Online... I didn't think video games had become so advanced.

[leggierissimo]

I don't think I've heard about that one, I'm afraid. But you would be surprised what technology can do nowadays.

[inhearts]

I am! I never thought I'd find myself stuck in a game before this.

[leggierissimo]

So, we're stuck in here? You're certain of that?

[inhearts]

Well, I haven't found an exit yet but I'm still looking. There has to be a way out, I'm sure!

[leggierissimo]

Hmm. Good to know I'm not the only one, then.

Kiryu Yoshiya, by the way. You can call me Joshua.

[inhearts]

I'm Arisato Minako. It's nice to meet you!

[ & checking! ] Are you from Japan, Joshua-kun?

[leggierissimo]

I am. Shibuya, specifically.

[inhearts]

Ah, me too! I was living in Iwatodai before I came to be here... You're the first person that I've met who comes from Japan as well. [ Not that she's not excited to meet new people. She's heard interesting names already! ]

[leggierissimo]

... Iwatodai? [Now that gets a raised eyebrow.]

And where is that exactly?

[inhearts]

Tokyo Bay.

[ Insert brief location here because Iwatodai is totally fictional! ]

[leggierissimo]

[Hooray for fictional locations! Joshua tilts his head a little.]

Odd. I don't think that place exists in my world.

[inhearts]

Really? Not even Tatsumi Port Island? What about, let's see... Does Apathy Syndrome mean anything to you?

[leggierissimo]

Sorry, I can't say that I've heard of either of those before.

[inhearts]

If people who've come here can be from different worlds, I suppose there are different Japans too.

[ & it makes sense to her, too. If the Tatsumi Port Island never existed, then -- it made sense. ]

[leggierissimo]

Oh, of course. You've heard of alternate and parallel dimensions, haven't you?

[He's totally serious. :|]

[inhearts]

[ She nods. ] I've heard of them but never experienced them first-hand. Have you?
