Thanksgiving Open Log 2
Characters: Open
Purpose: Thanksgiving Holiday Event
Location: Mainly the dining cart, but extends across the entire train
Time: From November 26th until November 29th
Warnings: Be on the lookout for anything, because odds are fair that it's going to happen.
Summary: A number of guests are being given an opportunity to come on board. How will they react, and what will happen between them and the current passengers as the conductor attempts to make a social event out of it?
"It's almost time again." The conductor of the train seemed delighted as the finishing touches were made to the Thanksgiving decorations of the train. Looking briefly at her pocket watch, she took note of the current time and started a final sweep throughout the dining cart to make sure that everything was ready and had yet to be disturbed.
It wouldn't be long now before the dining cart would resume operation and come to be filled with many interesting faces. She wondered if any would prove worthy of becoming new passengers, and seemed to have no fear of the possible damage the train might sustain if things were to happen similarly to the last time she attempted this event.
The hand on her watch moved forward. A wide smile formed on her face as she closed the device and tucked it back into her pocket. She wondered what might happen this time...
[[ Greetings, new and old players alike. Welcome to the second valkyrieexpress open log, in which we form our own dressing room-like roleplay for a few days. Like last year's, anyone can drop in (anonymously or not) as a character without the obligation to apply to the game. Journals can be brought in from other roleplays or those you wish to test out for our game or anything one's heart would desire. And, of course, the established players of our game are expected to join in when they wish.
However, I would like to address a few things before we proceed with this event. I wish for everyone who plays to show respect, courtesy, and friendliness to the others. This roleplay promotes these aspects above all else, so those who are joining us for this log are expected to adhere by such guidelines like the others.
No characters that are already taken in this list are allowed to be brought in. Similarly, if a character you play is already participating in the log, do not intentionally bring him/her in. 'Doubles' just end up making both the characters and players severely confused.
However, one exception this year is that AU versions of characters can be brought in. For example, if you wish to play an Alphonse Elric from the Harry Potter universe, you can! As a reminder, original characters are also allowed to be brought in.
This log, while being Thanksgiving themed, does not mean the characters have to do any activities relating to the holiday. Everyone will have access to every spot on the train, including the individual rooms. Anything can happen that one would like to, be it humorous or dramatic or action-y or romantic. Try to build up to whatever it is that you'd like to have happen, though. Also, the TV in the lounge will be playing Elf continuously on every channel for the next four days. Commentary on how repetitive the movie is for being on for that long is welcomed.
Additionally, the characters are not aware that this is a temporary arrangement. For all they know, everyone is coming to stay here like the rest of the VE cast. So, it will probably come as a shock to the others when they disappear suddenly at the end of this event. Of course, applying for a character that participates in the log will likely ensure that they won't leave on the 29th.
To make it easier, you can label the comment header with the location your character is currently in. For example, someone can put 'Arcade Cart' to let others know that a particular character is in that room during the thread.
Multiple threads are allowed to be made. There will be four comments listed with a 'November 26th' to 'November 29th', which will represent a different day in the log. Characters can be there for just one day or can come out throughout all four. It's up to the player to decide how much they wish to play. More than two characters can play in a thread, but it is recommended that you prearrange this with them. You may contact starbeii or fungopus on AIM for more information regarding this.
While we're sure there will be characters from the same series interacting here, I would like to encourage everyone to branch out from that and try playing with characters from different series. After all, this is a multifandom game that enjoys crossover interaction.
As a warning, non-VE characters are NOT allowed to comment in the VE journals. On the flip side, VE characters are NOT allowed to comment in the outsider journals either. Anyone caught doing so will forfeit their eligibility to apply/continue playing for the game, no exceptions.
We will be writing this out in log style. If you're not sure what that means, look through the other entries in express-logs to get a feel of what it's like. For further details, you can also refer to last year's open log.
Above everything else, have fun~! ]]
