Oh, and GV, Email.

 Do what you must. The forum will be here when you return.

Everybody here knows Family Duties > Forum Funtime, as it should be.

Did I ever make a big post describing what was supposed to go down at the festival or whatever? The three day thing? Because I remember doing that. I'm not going crazy, right? I did make one? I'm not the only one who remembers it?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Multi-day thing with the first part being a parade, then a tournament and finally a Hallowe'en-like affair, right?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Tournament ran throughout, but yes!

Wait, I'll search with parade.

Edit: Nothing, what the Christ!

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Sometimes the search can't find certain posts....No idea why.

[Philote]

I think it might have something to do with how certain threads have been archived. If you try searching within the folder that has all the archived LOC OOC threads you might get different results.

Also, I'm all done for this semester, save moving out tomorrow, so I'm going to try and get as many profiles as I can done over the weekend before I start doing job interviews next week.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

No, I looked. Festival, tournament, parade, fireworks, Babysitter, Gilgamesh.....

I can't find that post, no matter how hard I try.

[Zaleramancer]

It's alright.

I'll send you what I've come up with to see if it sparks anything.

A Gift for Vault

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Oh yes!

Well, the Babysitter is. And not so much declaring it as turning something mournful into a celebration over time. Three days out of the year, on the anniversary of the Monster Kings attack to celebrate how he was kicked in the pants.

It's actually a bit of revenge for that sucker punch way back when, taking his lasting legacy away and turning a day of fear into one of revelry.  The advice she got from The Veteran on how to get even with a dead man was, quote, "Take what he left, and use it. Work it. Make it yours. Turn it into your own personal 'anti-son-of-a-bitch' machine."

I only know how it would play out in Spectropolis but the whole thing is pretty much a celebration of the mortal races and their resolve. It starts with a big parade through the gate, traditionally headed up by Eternians because is was Gils tournament that brought everyone to Spectropolis to experience the events. There are then games and a tournament, which goes on throughout the celebrations.

Next night is the Night of Dancing Monsters, and this is the part she likes the most. The children dress up like monsters and dance through the street "Attacking" and Pillaging" (scaring people, playing jokes, and getting teats for their trouble.) Is basically a Disnyfication of the actual battle.

The last night there's a huge Pitching display, another parade, the recreation of the various events on the Monster Kings defeat (the Pantheo costume is huge and gets better every year, Aox is the most contested role), and at last the big glass ball representing the new moon is hoisted over the Main dome along with another Pitching display.

What did you use as a keyword. I used holiday.

[Philote]

I simply searched page by page with CTRL F

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Jeez, thank. Sorry for the annoyance.

[Philote]

It was not to hard actually, I remembered the general happenings that were going on when you originally proposed the idea so I was able to narrow down my search pretty well and found it within the first ten pages I looked.

[Zaleramancer]

I posted what I meant to post but never did.

It's not as much as I'd like, but it offers up a way for everyone to infodump how things have changed, as well as give us all an excuse to be in the same area if needed.

Second Age

On the other hand, I'm out of excuses for procrastinating on profiles

I'll try to ready up my first post for the second age.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'm out of excuses for procrastinating, too.

Though, I have a couple fresh questions, if anybody cares to answer them.

What happened to Story Thread 3? And why are we not posting the Second Age in it?

Not that I have a problem with posting in a new thread for the Second Age, but really, did we come to the end of the thread, and run out of room, or are we just starting a new thread, for the sake of clear timeline continuity?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

We were pretty much done with that thread anyway so a new story thread should be fine.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Never mind, my question was answered. I couldn't find the 3rd Story Thread for a minute, due to a forum glitch, but now I see it. Proceed.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I think I have the perfect way to bring my pantheon into the story of the New Age. I'll try to get around to it after tonight's Homestuck reading binge.
