Halloween Event: GO!

[tripled_mods]

Happy Halloween! That's right, it's that time of the year again. We all get to RP while hopped up on ridiculous amounts of sugar and the weird odors of cheapo Halloween makeup and fog machines. Or just the sugar, whichever. This year though? DDD is going to do an event based on an Irish tradition for Halloween!

In Ireland, there is a traditional cake that is given out on Halloween called the Barmbrack. The Barmbrack is a sweet fruit bread that is used as a fortune telling game on Halloween. The barmbrack would be baked with a pea, a stick, a piece of cloth, a small coin, and a ring within it. When you receive the item in a slice, they mean different things.

So every character in DDD will receive a slice of Halloween barmback (and maybe a costume for fun) with the different items in it, except instead of the traditional meanings, the community translates the prizes into something much more mischevious. Here are the original meanings:

Pea: No marriage this year.
Stick: Either an unhappy marriage or constantly get into disputes.
Cloth: Constant bad luck/be poor.
Coin: Good fortune/will get rich.
Ring: Going to get married within the year.

So what happens when you get one from the community?

Pea: Your character is suddenly incredibly lonely, wants to get married so is trying really hard to get a date with anyone/if they have a bf/gf will try to propose whether they're ready or not. Might go shopping for wedding clothes, etc.

Stick: Start picking fights with everyone they talk to.

Cloth: Supreme bad luck. Tripping all over everything, getting fired, losing their money, run over by a bike, etc.

Coin: Suddenly good luck everywhere. Maybe win the lottery, get lucky and find that missing earring they've been looking for for two weeks, whatever's lucky to them.

Ring: Suddenly actually engaged to someone else in the community who received a ring. Start acting like new fiances immediately.

Simple to do and lots of fun! Happy Halloween everyone, feel free to use this post to plot your hearts out and remember: If you don't want to participate, just say your character never found the bread or didn't break it open. They do not have to actually eat the bread to participate-- just break it open and reveal what's inside (which could happen even while throwing it away). So if your character's already wary about eating community presents, there's your work around. This event takes place on October 29th-31st. Have fun!

Ooooh, I like this event. I dare anyone who goes with the stick to walk up to this guy. >3

Dumbledore, Jezebel, Eames and Bane are all up for plotting if anyone's interested.

[brokethecamera]

mwahahahaha yes.

I'm open to plotting with all of my characters. The only one I know for sure what I'd like to do is have Darcy get a Pea in her cake. :3

But yes, if you'd like to plot with Ariadne, Alexia, Vanessa, Mai, Izumi, Rory, Darcy, or Sophie, let me know!

[atadflamboyant]

So I think James and Alexia should get engaged. Just sayin'.

Or like. James and Darcy.

[aquaticrush]

Waaaaaaaant.

Up for plotting with Nagisa, Retasu, Kano, Jade, and Frankie.

[grimdarkseer]

Nice! This times right around the time Rose gets to be not grim and miserable anymore.

I'd like to avoid the bad luck one just because this ought to be a release of some sort for her but if anyone wants a newly minted God Tier for plotting, Rose is available.

[mightletyouknowme]

As of right now, I have no concrete plans. Anybody want to do plotting with Roze, Sena, or Raenef?

[atadflamboyant]

Lord A always wants Raenef.

[material_guy]

Greed needs to get together with Sena at some point to keep planning for her worldhop thing. We could cloth them both and curse them to double the bad luck, have her get blessed luck to his bad luck, or something along those lines if you'd like to cross the event over with their meeting.

[atadflamboyant]

Reeve, Lord A, James, and Jecht are all available.

[croibhristeoir]

I'M JUST GONNA SIT HERE

WITH THE GUY AS IRISH AS A FUCKING LEPRECHAUN

LAUGHING MY ASS OFF

who wants to plot with this loser and narukami

[chuanifrinn]

What could a couple of Irish Joes get up to during this virus?

[dulacaun]

hey irish buddy let's do stuff

[material_guy]

Unless somebody has a better idea or wants to run something, Greed will probably get clothed.

[glimmerous_fop]

I'll probably drugged up during this virus so Klavier will happily be on standby, amused.

[dekillerqueen]

LET US PLOT YES YES Only with Shelly and Scrooge, though, I am afraid. ;; Scratch is going to be out of commission during the event, for the most part.

[healinguilt]

I VOLUNTEER.

[originaldragoon]

XD Oh this sounds like fun!

Rose, Cinderella, and Ravage are all going to be up for plotting!

Ravage will be getting an energon version of the cake since he's, you know, a robot.

[healinguilt]

Naomi, Kaguya, and Okuu will be available for this event. Dunno what piece of cake they're going to get yet, though, but I'm always up for some plotting!

[glimmerous_fop]

I'll have to see how I'm feeling during this virus, otherwise I'm up for backtagging. I'll put my pups up for plotting just in case.

Lancer
Selina
Ravenna
Hiiragi
Reno

[heavenlyhome]

Kasumi and Yuca here. This looks really interesting, but I'm not sure what to do with them, so! Anyone want to plot?

[material_guy]

I spoke with Roze over AIM briefly and thought we could run this idea by you if you haven't been grabbed by anyone else: how do you feel about Kasumi and Roze getting engagement ringed together while Greed, secretly pead, nabs a ring from somewhere and tries to weasel his way into their marriage as if he could claim both because he's pea-lonely? They may just think of him as their gender-flipped faghag despite his insistances that he's totally part of the loooooove and not a third wheel.

[shiningwaters]

Signing up Aqua. I think it'd be funny if she got ringed.

[windgodgirl]

uhh

wow I'm so out of it

Aya, Free, and Shooter are up for plots o<o)9 I don't really have anything in mind atm so.

[eternallybored]

kags is gonna throw the engagement party of the year century millennium eon.

everyone is invited. reimu's shrine. free sake and shit.

[irrigo]

minatsuki, celty, shijima, river and miharu are all open for plotting with this!! mina is either going to get a pea or a ring, so if someone wants to marry her then let's do it hahaha.

[tenminutes]

Let's have a horrible marriage??

[the_original_clone]

This could be horrible and awesome at the same time. I know he is basically new to the scene but I am open to plotting with Mewtwo.

[tenminutes]

SUPER LATE ON.. THE POST I MADE. BECAUSE I'M DUMB. BUT. Anyone wanna plot with Yuri, Buffy, Natsume, or Kobato? :D

[oceanicbutterfly]

Kobato should get a pea.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I am the latest. See, the event is already in progress.

My current plan is that Karen will be unaffected because she'll go out of her way to not touch the suspicious weird community bread at all because dnw virus, but this can be changed if someone wants to marry her, etc.
