EVENT INFO: FEAST OF LIGHTS
EVENT INFO: FEAST OF LIGHTS
the basics
On December 23rd, characters will wake to find the spirits have decorated all of Beacon! Carefully placed candles light up the entire town, offering warm dots of light among the darkness. Once they're finished, they'll also offer the Beacon residents something else: a game.
the details
It's time for a dreidel game! This is going to be a player run mechanic, because we want the next few weeks to be as relaxed as possible for everyone. The spirits will be handing out special dreidels which, when spun, will offer a variety of prizes. These range from helpful winter presents to little chachkies to, hm, something a little more unpleasant . . . but nothing permanent! But what's the point of playing a game if there isn't any risk of consequences, huh?
Here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Characters will each get a dreidel. The size, shape, and color of it are up to player discretion! They can either have a spirit give it to them or, more worryingly, wake up to see it set neatly against the pillow next to their head.
- Prizes will be listed on the event log! Characters can rng as they like.
- There's no limit on prizes, go nuts.
- If you'd like your character to play against the spirits, by all means! However, mods will not be playing the spirits, meaning you can incorporate them into your threads without us!

Additionally, players are welcome to use this post for OOC event plotting! In fact, please do, as not everyone in the game has access to each other's plurks! If you'd like, you can use the small form below to kickstart your plotting plans:

QUESTIONS
no subject
character(s): Rosinante
plans: I'll toplevel for this so come dreidel at him! He might be back a few days into the event from an exploration, we'll see, waiting on those to reopen. But he'll be around and has no idea what a dreidel is, what these funny symbols mean, what Hanukkah is or any of your other Earth holidays are for that matter so please someone come explain. He'd appreciate it.
Also helpful to know is that yes he did participate in the Secret Santa thing so if you got a gift from him he'll be findable, and if you sent him one he'll probably come try to say thanks.
Anyway at some point he'll run out of social energy pretty quickly and go back to lurking at The Invincible or the library or someplace he can stay warm and work on his star chart project and try to figure out what all the dream stuff adds up to because what's the point of having fun when you can be trying to make sense of the mystery that is Beacon, right?

character(s): peter parker
plans: up until the full moon, peter's going to be suffering the consequences of his little game of twenty questions with the hint machine, the only one of which he's actually going to admit to is the loss of his sense of smell (and maybe the poltergeist, since lol).
however AS OF the 20th, peter is on an exploration with resident grumpy bat, jason todd, so the result of the will play a part in when he's back, i guess. but hey, it's true to form: peter benjamin parker being late to social events because of his secret life as a spandex wearer. he can't help it okay.
he did participate in secret santa and will absolutely be down for dreidel. peter loves holidays with friends and family so like. be prepared for a dork all up in your business, is what i'm saying. I SHALL certainly try to top level, but regardless i'll be tagging the fuck out of some TLs.

character(s): ambrose spellman
plans: i'll probably do a baby tl for this with ambrose getting a few odds and ends from his dreidel but it won't be anything too intensive. he'll be delighted to see some human holidays being celebrated considering his witchiness and all.
notes: he might be a little subdued because of an exploration that's happening and what happens in the aftermath but he'll be doing his best to cover that up and put on a happy face.
no subject
character(s): javert
plans: not too sure how much involvement javert's going to have playing dreidel. he's been hit by the consequences of the hint machine, and as such, he's going to be quite wary of playing games for a while. maybe someone can talk him into it?
until the next full moon, though, he's going be experiencing impulses to hurt people. he's not going to experience it at random, but rather, whenever his temper flares, so if anyone wants to be involved in subduing or fighting him, lmk! if he could throw himself into a jail cell until the effects subside, he would, but keeping himself chained in handcuffs will work just as well.
he did learn that it's possible to kill the world eaters, and he'll certainly be passing that information along to others, at some point.

character(s): Bucky, Stone
plans: Both my boys will have top-levels. Bucky does have gifts for his close CR because Misty told him about Christmas ages ago and he doesn't forget stuff like that. Both of them will probably play, though Stone is completely unfamiliar with the holiday. Both of them participated in the Secret Santa, so if anybody wants to come chat at them about their gifts, I'm happy to make some new CR <3
notes: I'm going for it with the headcanon of Bucky's mother having Jewish heritage, and gonna have him recognize the game and the symbols on the dreidel (and be briefly freaked out, of course). If that bothers anybody, please lmk.

character(s): Jo Harvelle here
plans: Jo is gonna wake up to it on her pillow and be....very wary of it. But she might play if someone bothers her enough!
notes: ...nah.
