Weeks 9-12

Welcome to Fishing Season!

With the fishing season upon Atlantis at last, the city is going to be bursting with activity, both at the docks and the city center itself. For the next four weeks the ocean will be full of ships of all shapes and sizes out trying to make the most of the flood of fish filling the bay. Atlantean's have the next two weeks off for 'Spring Break' when it comes to school, and all the young Atlantean's will be making use of the time to fill the beach. The youngest children flying kites (shaped like various legendary Atlantean beasts) with their parents or building sand castles and playing Sand Leviathan, while older kids and teens will be out enjoying the warm bay waters and playing beach sports of various types. It's an active and productive time for Atlantean adults who fill their time stocking the markets, handling at the docks and offering their animals for help with fish carts. The city roads will be busy, with carts pulled by everything from island horses and goats to chocobos and hogs.

The weather is fantastic and everyone seems overall very happy, if a bit hectic. There will be plenty of jobs around for anyone looking to work, and the more venturesome individuals will find this is SPECTACULAR trading time. In addition to fish, some of the larger docking boats will be unloading crates full of fabrics and raw materials. If asked where they got them, most captains will shrug or claim to have fished them from the sea. It is difficult to guess at their origins and no one is very forthcoming with information.

Atlantean's do not celebrate April Fool's, so the month of April holds little significance to them beyond being spring time and the celebration of Gaia. Still... there may be some chaos in store for the future...

Atlantis Weeks 9-12

As far as plots go, the next few weeks have some pretty heavy NPC plot going on that will show up throughout the weeks. Look for a lot of activity from the Atlantean's themselves. A Beach and Docks log will go up at the start of Week 9, and a Market log between weeks 9 and 10 as well as several NPC posts related to the plot. Interacting with the NPC posts is highly encouraged as it will help determine how and where things go the next few weeks, but is not required!

Week 12 is especially relevant to our growing cast of werewolves, as well as to any star-gazers or astronomers.


Gabriel's Fools
Atlantean's may not celebrate April fools, but a certain trickster does. Week 11 is going to be full of pranks becoming real, chaotic weather, crazy shenanigans and a moon that appears to be made out of cheese. Is it really? Who can say?

Look for more information on this plot to come around the end of Week 10. Details are still in process


Week 9: 
3/17 - 3/23
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)
Full moon on Wednesday

Week 10: 
3/24 - 3/30
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with strong winds
The temperature will be in the 80-86F ~ 26.5-35C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)

Week 11:
3/31 - 4/6
Weather - ??? 
The temperature will be in the ??F ~ ??C range
The night sky will feature: ???

Sunday Cheese Moon is not a Full moon.

Week 12:
4/7 - 4/13
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

Four moons, with two in the sky Sun-Tuesday and a different two Wed-Friday. Just one moon on Saturday
As far as our werewolves are concerned this entire week is full of full moons with varying effects. The smallest moon Sunday-Tuesday being farthest away and 'weak' while the small orange moon the remaining four days will act as a sort of 'catnip for wolves'. Happy-high werewolves will be acting like over-grown puppies. The sky will be full of many very bright stars.

Sup! I hope I'm not stepping on any toes :D;

As Gabriel is introducing himself as Loki to anyone that asks, Raven had mentioned that he's now the third Loki that's popped up. So since he's already spoken with JiM Loki, movie Loki is next on his list to meet. c:

Much to his horror, yes.

He's not happy about this turn of events.

[personal profile] iamagod 2013-03-11 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh. That makes sense.

... Loki is still very much annoyed that everyone believes Thor when he insists that his brother is on the island. It wasn't as if Thor had actually seen for himself that Loki fell to the sands with him.

Stupid stupid brother. Ruining his element of surprise for everything.

There there, Loki. Come join Gabe and mini Loki for their buffet and you can both complain about stupid brothers and plot trickses to be had.

That is... priceless. And true. And he doesn't want forgiveness anyway.

See, there, right there, that is why I don't usually play from long series (aka any comic characters FROM comic) because they're convoluted, chaotic, and god help me trying to straighten it all if they've got so much history.

When I said complex earlier... how should I explain it. The comics one has more events happening and he sounds crazier, yet to me from reading event summaries it sounds like they don't layer him as well as they did with MCU one. (But I haven't read the comics so I'm the first to admit my views may be naive and biased.) He's casted as the roll of a crazy and chaotic villain, but he doesn't get as much reflection and complex layering.

Where is this buffet and in who's honor will it be held?

Stupid brother

[personal profile] iamagod 2013-03-11 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Upcoming weeks...

Perhaps finally Loki will come out of his seclusion and see that brother of his.

Maybe.

Don't hold your breath.

[personal profile] rabbunctious Seb won't be up to much, probably--getting used to his body and maybe, closer to April, gathering up some pretty things for a present for somebunny special.

[personal profile] upstartcrow THIS guy, on the other hand, I don't plan on introing quite yet (but, y'know, best-laid plans and all that). His kid should probably get a chance to get in before him and get settled. He'd probably have a lot to say about that cheese moon, though. Hot dang. It's making me hungry.

Currently he's showing off by having a lavish table over where he's chilling at the ruins, but hey, it can be moved.

And if anyone asks, he'll ham it up and say it's totes for his new acquaintances. Pleasure meeting you both, yadda yadda.

lol it comes to the point where you really have to look at the writer writing the comic and follow the story arcs within a certain span of those writers. luckily the thor/journey comics haven't really been subjected to anyone in the last year other than gillen, strazynski and fraction, all of which are amazing in their own right.

and i would disagree, they layered him really, really well depending on the writer. and like i said the last ones have been incredible. there's a point where he asks hela to let him go back in time and set up the events that he would later use to overthrow both thor and odin, and crash asgard to the ground (for the sake of freedom, even though once he gets down to it he ends up regretting part of his decision and uses the norn stones to not only stop it but destroy himself). and he literally goes and talks to his little jotun self and tells him exactly what he needs to do to get into odin's court. he manipulates odin's father, bor, and then odin himself (who kind of. well 616 odin is absolutely crazy too, i don't even know how thor turned out ok) and then while he's like laying back in time, kills laufey. like takes an axe to him and then walks away like "wow, that was what i needed. how cathartic."

but all the asgard stuff in pre-siege/siege/post-siege is all amazing because it's strazynski and gillen. which. yeah the two of them are incredible and very good at writing those kind of intricacies.

you can get some poor writers too, but lbh i kind of only took it upon myself to read the good stuff. (lol roni.)

Hello! :D It's me aka that person who works too much and still loves to RP anyway. Here's what my guys are up to:

Castiel | [personal profile] fallen_angel
Is moping over feeling human now rooming with Dean Winchester (bet you feel privileged, don't you, Dean). I still intend to backtag him into the festival. I'd like for him to meet a whole assortment of folks, and am trying to work on that, including, but not limited to, his other castmates. Obviously, though, I want ~things~ with the Winchesters. All the things... :|

Danny Fenton/Phantom | [personal profile] ghost_boy|[personal profile] going_ghost
Still needs to be introduced. Hoping to get to that soon. If anyone wants to plot with him, please don't be shy. I know I'd like for him to meet the many kids around the island, but adults too! I think Pitch Black would make for fun CR, as would anyone who doesn't like ghosts. He doesn't have to be a ghost when you meet him since he is a human teenager who can turn into a ghost (he's cool like that). I am up for anything. :3

Bolt | [personal profile] dogface
Also needs to be introduced. I have to finalize something with Hull but he should be in soon, too. Again, don't be shy if you want to throw around plot ideas with me. I would love that! Everyone, just so you know, you have permission to pet the cute dog. If someone would like to give him a home at some point, that's totally a possibility I'm willing to discuss.

Plot with me?
