[A flier for the bulletin board pops up one day out of the blue. Eiather students may have heard rumors about it or been asked to help spread the word]

[FESTIVAL OF THE GODS]

Temple District



[Local date for Sept. 10th]

Sundown

[Later, a message is tacked on a sheet below it]

Isabel, Sylvando, Tenn, I have a favor to ask.

-Eleven

[OOC: this is tied to El's adventure. If your character would be interested in helping out in any way, feel free to have them query/volunteer here or pm/plurk me if that suits better so I can work their contributions into the adventure log prompt(s)!]

Comments

Mail via Familiar

[perfectenn]

[ Please, Eleven. If Tenn responds to the board in the open, the note is going to be buried in fanmail and requests in no time. (Which is lovely for him, not so much for the project organization!) Which is why Eleven gets his reply by Magical Tortoise Mail (aka, a letter magically appears somewhere near Eleven when he isn't looking.) The handwriting is simple and easily recognizable. ]

Yes, what is it?

[bearshermark]

[He hadn't thought of that, and still hasn't, but receives the letter in good spirits just as well and sends his own back in a flash of gold hawk feathers]

I'm helping to organize a festival to honor the gods of this world. I've done some research for old favorite stories and I was hoping I could convince you to perform one of them in some way.

[perfectenn]

[ This reply takes a bit longer as Tenn has to scan his calendar and compare dates and times, then go to his spires's lounge area to catch a few students. A few hours later, another letter arrives! ]

I believe I'll have the time, and I’m already familiar with some of the local tales. Please send me the list of stories (and versions) you are considering, and any other materials I’ll need.

Should I not be able to make it, or you require more help, here are some other Fantastics performers you may want to contact.

[ Following is a short list of names of students that Tenn has found to be reliable and talented (even by Eiather's standards.) Should Eleven contact them, he will find that most of them are free and amiable to the idea. ]

[bearshermark]

[Though Eleven worries about the delay, the response he gets is well worth it]

You are a gift. Thank you. I'll gather everything you need and have it sent to you by tomorrow.

If there's anything I can do to help you with at any point, please do ask and I will be happy to.

[A sticky note that has the header of from the desk of Juno Shoggoth, has been stuck onto the poster with a hastily scrawled message:]

ArE dEmoNs wElcoMe?

[bearshermark]

[are you ok]

So long as they don't desecrate any temples or suchlike.

[creepyoldguy]

I'm FrOm HeLl.

[He added a little sketch of a stick demon pole dancing around a pitch-fork shaped pole]

I Liked His IdeA. CaN we Pleze?

[bearshermark]

[why pole-dancing. and now illustrated. pls]

You should probably find somewhere more suitable for that.

[whose_son_am_i]

[A note has been pinned to the flyer.]
What type of festival? Honoring Gods, petitioning them?

[bearshermark]

Honoring. Rekindling faith, really.

Meant to do this originally in courier font >.<

[whose_son_am_i]

Which gods?

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

[Probably not a surprise that Chaos is the one to find Eleven first; he has an envelope addressed to the acolyte in his mouth, fangs delicately piercing one tiny corner. Inside, a short message, with enough space on it for a reply, if El chooses.]

Anything for you, you know. :) What's up? Need to meet somewhere?

[bearshermark]

[Eleven sends back his reply via his own bright-winged familiar. They certainly don't need to meet up, but, well..]

I'd love to, if you have the time.

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

[Chaos is used to passing messages along, so he's quick enough to return. Even with some alacrity, for a cat...]

For you I do. Where do you want to meet up?

[smilingarmor]

Of course, darling! I'd be happy to lend you a hand. What is it you need, hmm?

[bearshermark]

I was hoping you could perform during the upcoming festival if it wouldn't be too much to ask.

[smilingarmor]

[Too much to ask? Have you even met him, El?]

It would be my pleasure, honey. In fact, I was going to ask you about that if you didn't; great minds think alike, eh?

So, what sort of performance did you have in mind? The usual juggling and party tricks might not quite set the right mood for this sort of festival, after all.

[A religious festival is somewhat new territory for Sylvando, but luckily he enjoys a challenge. And livening up such an event without turning it into a circus- literally or figuratively- could be an interesting one.]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ As a fellow Eiather student he had heard the rumors but those had always been lacking in detail so a note was tacked up next to the others. ]

This isn't one of those everyone meet at the bonfire for a living sacrifice kind of 'Festival of the Gods' is it?

[bearshermark]

Goddess, no. There won't be any sacrifices. It's just a tour along the temples with food and music and such.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ One can't see the wince through a note exchange but there was one as he read the word Temple. ]

I'll pass on the Temple run. I'm not any more interested in burning my toes than I am in tossing people into a bonfire.
Guess I should do something though. Might be good for some extra credit. What sort of music?

[king_of_egypt]

Is this a new festival.. or is this a tradition I've forgotten or was not observed via the school previously?

[It's signed with with his name this time, Atem.]

[bearshermark]

A new festival. It's meant to help inspire faith in the gods back in the locals.

[temptationaccomplished]

Shall I bring snacks and refreshments?

[bearshermark]

I'd consider it a blessing if you could manage that.

[temptationaccomplished]

Really, it's just a minor miracle.
