ON WORLD: PRINCESS PARADE

Well well well, what do we have here? It seems like Avisle has become something of a new fancy tourist destination for some visiting royalty. Countless airships come and go each day, bringing with them an assortment of… princesses? Oh! It seems like some grand miss in a faraway land is hosting a slumber party, and Avisle is a lovely resting destination for those making the journey.

What kind of hustle and bustle will that bring to the area? Look forward to more details tomorrow! For now, know that the event domain will involve escorting a young princess.

> feb/march choice
Meet Princess Andalina Quartzrosen Pili Majesteria the Third. In the final installment of the Event Domain, characters must decide whether she will live or die.

Andalina is a young girl of 17 years old, the sole member of a ruling family presiding over the small kingdom of Majesteria (population: 550). Over the course of her life, her family has fallen ill to the harsh climate of her country, and passed away one by one, leaving only her. Even so, she is the pride and joy of her lands, beloved by her people as she endeavors to make public works. Improving their lives is her greatest priority. While lonely, she works hard and truly believes in the future of her people. She is set to be named Queen next month on her 18th birthday.

However, Andalina is not without blood on her hands. Last year, she waged war on a neighboring kingdom to gain access to their resources and some very bountiful mines. She was victorious… if one could truly call it that. Her directions were ruthless, leading to a massacre of the enemy and devastation to their population, killing over half of their citizens, including women and children. In a final act of spite, the fallen kingdom detonated all of their mine shafts, leaving only rubble. So you might ask: what did she truly win?

Her life is in the hands of those who enter the Domain. Will you protect this monarch-to-be, keeping the hope of her kingdom alive? Or will you get revenge against this despot, preventing her from causing further atrocities?

The Choice is Yours.
Players must submit their Choice to this toplevel by Friday, March 17th at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST. For a Choice to count for IC consequences and rewards, players must submit a thread of at least 3 comments interacting with the Event Domain.

OFF WORLD: WHITE DAY DATE AUCTION

Haha wow, anyway, White Day is coming! The fluffy princess energy carries over in the OFF world as Crane City truly loves the holiday, given the pure and snow white featherings of its namesake. Dodo, like the rest of the citizens of this lovely little town, is ready to get into the spirit!

Which brings us to the inaugural Dodo’s Doki Doki Date Auction! Kyaaa. ♥ Residents of Dodo will all be invited and heavily encouraged to attend the event (see: you will not be able to leave! talk about house arrest!) and pursue their doki doki dreams. In order to help make this event a success, please help us crowdsource blurbs for all date candidates! (Blurb submissions go live Monday, February 27th.) Players may also sign up their characters for randomized date pairings, just for fun.

We ask all players to only pick one character to sign up for the Date Auction. For players who have more than one, we ask that you specify at this Opt Out Top-Level which of your characters you’d like for us to keep. If you don’t specify, we will pick at random for you! Players who do not want their character involved in the Date Auction may also comment. No explanation necessary, just let us know!

Timezone: Pacific
Contact: PM

Character Name: Roland Glenbrook
Canon: Triangle Strategy
AU Plotting Post Link: Come one, come all
Plans: His decision as regards the royal will depend on the specifics of what goes down in the escort mission. He'll have his opinions and tentatively lean toward protection, but will be open to discussion.

As for the date auction, he'll just go with the flow and be cordial if anyone wants to hang out.

Outside of that, he's been training and practicing magic on the side, and also experiencing the wonders of salted food as much as his diminished appetite has allowed. He arrived malnourished and looks better now than he did then. Roland is active in both the ON and OFF worlds, because he thinks it's better to gain experience in lieu of spiraling alone in his room. Sometimes he can be seen interacting with NPCs with a cheerful mien that's nothing like his mild disposition around PCs and more like his AU persona.

Looking for:
  • For AU CR, I'm more than happy to drop starters in the inbox for shenanigans!
  • Who wants shenanigans for the menders guild . . . Would anyone be interested in a small mingle for members?
  • He has no interest in the date auction, but he can buy into it in order to spare someone the prolonged embarrassment or just offer a friendly time. Let him be your character's feelings hooker.
  • In general, he's a monk whose job is to help however he can, so he'll always be available to do somebody a favor with minimal judgment.

Listen . . . It wasn't Roland's choice . . . Sometimes the shadows choose you. I wish that didn't sound so edgy.

SALTED FOODS i love you roland

i think as part of the menders guild thing after i try to destroy buzen with a steamroller he should go to roland for help
duskspear: (Default)

[personal profile] duskspear 2023-02-24 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Salt is for the rich and the rich only back home . . . I think about how Roland in the Octopath Traveler collab couldn't stop eating food from multiple eateries (and he ate a lot), because of how good everything tasted with salt. Too bad he can't enjoy it as much here.

And a steamroller? Hello? Is he okay?? Roland's going to lose ten years of his life, thanks to Buzen. Let him patch you up, sweet fool.

ASDLKJASLKDJF I'M LOSING MY MIND........... sweet roland please take all the salt you want, i hope he gets to go on a little food tour moment

also it's fine, no he's not, i'm trying to get him stabbity stabbed but that's where roland comes in!! i think i'll figure out those plans a little more and then i'll just show up in your inbox unannounced if that's ok jae!!

[personal profile] duskspear 2023-02-26 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps Ringo, sweet Ringo, will take him on that much needed tour and cause his blood pressure to hike from all that salt.

I'm dying at the thought of Buzen as the princess role going out and taking a terrible hit for the knight role at the final stretch. What chaos. But my inbox is always open to you and Buzen!!

Please let Sophia offer healthy solutions to Roland that she pulled off the internet so he can continue to be Not Malnourished--

[personal profile] duskspear 2023-02-24 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Sophia, his truest companion . . . They can enjoy the healthy foods together.

ROLAND, YOUR FOOD???



ringo's party's Schtick is eating greasy takeout food together to bond, let her drag you into that, Roland

[personal profile] duskspear 2023-02-24 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Y'all judging him for growing up with bland food all his life.

The idea of Ringo offsetting all of Sophia's attempts at getting Roland to maintain a healthy diet with junk food is hilarious. It's time, Cal.
