The Unodin Welcoming Celebration of Ojaveda

[jaycol]

        [Well!  Thought of that. But, realizing that there are many different playing times as well. It is broader in time to catch some of those that normally wouldn't get a chance to be part of it, as well as those that would. The plan is to provide something for more then one selective group based on that idea. It is a community Celebration so it designed to cater as many as it can. It also developed into being exclusively for role play. So, to crunch it together into a smaller time line eliminates and/or restrains the free flow of acting out a character in A festive style of environment. Not being able to attend the whole affair of the day, is actually more in character then doing so. In RL when you attend a community festivity do you really go early and stay until the last of the crowd leaves. Most people pick the activities they wish to be part of, and coordinate their free time to that. Lets face it people get tired and characters should get tired too. It was never our intentions that you try to be there for the whole day. If you can that's great. The intention behind the planning of the Celebration is to add a theme to role play with. Whether it is the planning to travel there, conversation, or participation of a certain activity or more. The material posted so far, is enough subject matter to provide weeks of successful role play for characters if they apply themselves accordingly.]

       [ Myself? Personally, I'm not interested in who wins what, where or how. I'm looking for, and anticipating the acting of characters attending an special event and/or activity in their lifetimes. The display of emotions as they experience new things for the first time. The excitement of being part of a rare activity, the joy of winning, the expectations of trying, the humility of losing, or the frustration of having to leave earlier then you planned. Basically, I'm looking for role play of people going to a huge community festivity in every aspect of it. (So leave the super heroes and demi-gods at home), and challenge your character to be a character. Give them some personality and have some fun with it.]

      [And.. that's why we went with a 12 hour, instead of a 6 hour schedule. To allow the free flow of interaction amongst characters at and between activities, without the need to be rushed through the course of the day. I thank you for your suggestion, and we will bring it up for discussion again, but I doubt at this time it will change, but you never know ]

[Great idea, jaycol The Octarch's Champion is already eager to help organising the beauty contest ]

[jaycol]

[Hmmm? Bet yah would . I think there's an opening. I will pass that along fo' yah. Your help would be appreciated I'm sure]

[Roled]

Good Sirs and Ladies of the organizing guilds~

May I offer meself as another judge fer the Pageant? I would daresay that I am a fair judge of beauty, both external and beauties of the soul and arts. And since my honor of Xiosia be true, then methinks a prayer to her will help me see the true beauty of ye all, and her finger shall point me towards the most worthy Queen of the Fest!

If ye needs a youthful Dermorian, hearty, full of hope and ready with a smile, I would be most honored to assist with that task.

And those blest of beauty amongst ye, please feel free to stop me upon a street corner or e'en in the wilds and introduce yerself, so that I may look to recognize ye at the festival!

Yers humbly,

Roled Rolak

For all interested in assisting the Maidens of the Lady Pageant...

Bathe in a cold river!!!!

just teasing...we shall discuss your qualifications for judging and assisting, we have already chosen two judges and only need a third judge, but I can assure you to not attend the Maiden parade and pageant, if you are a single mate, truly a shame, so many beautiful flowers...

Org...wipe the drool of your face!!  We shall give you the opportunity, If you might enlighten us with the qualifications you possess to assist in the Pageant, we shall take this into consideration. One paragraph would suffice for the Daughters to make our decision.

Roled...we shall take your offer into consideration, but would this not distract you from your intensive studies?  *Siteya winks*

I hope to see many beautiful maidens parading in Xiosia's honor, and of course, those that worship the living Goddesses they are cheering them on, and if Xiosia decrees, maybe a flower will be dropped your way.

Xiosia Bless,

Siteya

Lady Siteya~
Thankee fer yer consideration of me qualifications fer seeing the beauty amongst us all! I think I would be a good judge fer 1) I have the love of Xiosia, and thereby the love of all women in me heart 2) I be pleasant and friendly 3) I be not of evil intent so none could bribe me and 4) I will not just assume a Northir should win the bathing suit competition, tho those of that race wear barely any coverings at all. Tis not the coverings but the uncoverings of internal elegance, form, strength, wisdom and kindness that I would look fer, as marks of true beauty!

And as to this assignment interfering with me magic studies, I do think that the beauties on parade may well conjure up such magic the likes of which have ne'er been seen before in our wild and roughride land. So, methinks participation would be like an intensive workshop in the magical arts o love, celebration and desire.

Thankee,
Yer Admirer
