PRE-GAME FOURTHWALL MEME

[asgardstricks.livejournal.com]

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO PARTY

So we heard y'all were excited for this fabulous game to open. There's been a good deal of interest already, so in the spirit of excitement and helping people figure out who they might want to play, we'll be having a pre-game fourthwall meme right here. The setting is a large ballroom in the castle. Characters won't be able to leave this room / the connected balcony / the bathrooms, but they're free to mingle otherwise. Assume they've been here or they haven't. Have them self-aware or not. It's all up to you! There's refreshments in the form of finger foods and punch. Try out anyone you think you'd want to app -- multiples are fine! Consider this a sort of ATP/Enable Me at the same time. Have fun!

[Karkat isn't really one for large crowds, so he's made his way to the balcony, and is leaning against the edge, looking out over the city.]

[eldanomore.livejournal.com]

[Oh, hello there fellow balcony-dweller. Have a curious persocom getting just a little too close as she observes, head cocked slightly to the side.]

Chii?

[fanged_wings]

[There is a short teen with blue hair trying out some of the food at the table. Because he is a hungry thing. Akito's not terribly sure how he got here, but he has a feeling it doesn't really matter. So instead, food. Nomming. And looking over all the other strange people and...things...here.

Akito's conclusion is that this place is weird. But he can roll with that. Bother him?]

Chii | Chobits

[eldanomore.livejournal.com]

[Here we have Chii, perpetually wall-flowering/curiously observing from the balcony.

[So many new people...mo_om]

[fanged_wings]

[Akito is a-wandering around, when he notices the wall-flower that is Chii. Making friends is awesome, so he walks over, humming a little to himself]

There's lots of people here, neh...I don't think I've ever seen so many in one place. [AT battles not included, because those were short and generally didn't have him socialising. Those were for his other. He smiles a little at Chii] Have you ever been to anything like this before?

/so making another journal /with entirely different icons probably /BUT ACK must play

[at_heart]

[ huh. well, this is... different. to no one in particular, and in fact slightly under his breath: ]

Makes a guy feel a little bit under-dressed.

[brightens]

You, too? [ Considering what she's wearing?

Maybe she's very under-dressed. ]

/sob placeholder

[savior-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[oh god but none of my icons are ready and I still haven't picked which 2 of 3 kids to play-- /THROWS IN ANYWAY]

[guess who's super uncomfortable but not so uncomfortable he won't devour all your finger foods?! this guy!]

:3 You were expecting this. Don't say you weren't

[fanged_wings]

[Is a little amazed by the devouring of food]

You must be really hungry, neh...

[brightens]

[ She is literally all over the place, flitting around like a hummingbird that's had about two times too much sugar. ]

[fanged_wings]

[Hummingbird a, meet hummingbird b. Only this one's on rollerskates-on-crack, so he is skating everywhere. It also makes it hard to stop, so he flails a little when he bumps into her] Sorry, neh! [Akito is le clumsy, and landing on his behind. He's okay though, he's too busy rubbing his neck and being embarrassed. Oops]

/and another placeholder /BUT ONLY 2

[designated-hero.livejournal.com]

[feeling slightly out of place in plate mail, he keeps glancing around slightly uncomfortably, but nursing his punch and staying dutifully alert]

/SITS

[clarinesprince.livejournal.com]

[the plate mail reminds him of hoooome, and so Zen will approach.] Hey.

I SHOULD LEGIT APP THIS GUY

[hasacoupon.livejournal.com]

[See that guy in the corner dressed like Bela Lugosi's version of Dracula? He's swishing his costume store cape.

He does this often.

Speak to him and you'll receive the worst fake Transylvanian accent ever.]

[katlocked.livejournal.com]

[Who the hell is this douchebag.]

[Karkat is standing nearby, kind of in the open, very obviously and pointedly giving him the best "what the fuck" expression he can naturally muster.]

[It's pretty good.]

[last-scion.livejournal.com]

[Arnleif finds herself away from the rest of the party, face set in quiet contemplation. She still isn't used to this place or the strange people and things that have come with it. She also feels slightly out of place - her chain-mail and cloak tend to make her stand out (although she'd love to get out of the chainmail; it's starting to get heavy).

It seems impossible. Like something out of an old tale. Yet here she is. She sets her jaw and leans back against the wall.

If the gods call, can one refuse?]

[eldanomore.livejournal.com]

[After a small bout of aimlessly wandering through the crowds, Chii finds herself in a lonelier place, near a wall. No problem there. It was beginning to get a little overwhelming, being surrounded by so many people...

[Now there's only one nearby! She gives a small smile, greeting Arnleif with a polite bow.]

Hello. My name is Chii!

[Because introductions are polite.]

[straightforward.livejournal.com]

[This girl here has managed to fall asleep right in the middle of the ballroom floor. Stupid narcolepsy!

Maybe someone should wake her up before she gets trampled on by the crowd.]

[katlocked.livejournal.com]

[Oh my god, Jade.]

[Karkat is picking you up and carrying you off to the corner.]

[babel_hacker]

[A party like this? Not Atsuro's usual thing. He'd be more comfortable if it's smaller and with a group of friends he know. Unfortunately, he don't know anyone here.

Getting over his nervousness, he went over to the food table to grab something to eat.]

[clarinesprince.livejournal.com]

[it's like the most awkward party ever]

[Atsuro might see Zen crawl out from under the refreshment table.]

BELATED GOD THREAD

[asgardmods]

[Just throwing this up for people wanting to see who the NPCs are. :) Each of the mods plays three gods, so these won't all be up/active at the same time, but they'll be here.]

ODIN

[asgardswisdom.livejournal.com]

[He may be the leader of the gods, and he may be in favor of this last-ditch experiment, but that doesn't mean he's particularly inclined to party with the Travellers.

Odin can be found somewhere along the walls, one hand in the pocket of his designer-looking suit and the other holding a glass of something that is definitely not punch.]

[functionals.livejournal.com]

[guess who is over by the corner not giving any fucks because ew parties are terrible.

So he's just standing up in the corner, observing the rest of the part with the usual poker face that he has. Maybe he could try to experiment with the punch later to quell his boredom.]

[not-too-short.livejournal.com]

[Look who's over here doing the same thing, while munching on a cracker.

Not that Nic notices him yet, as he's gazing at the crowd without a care in the world.]

[brb-blogging.livejournal.com]

[Couldn't honestly tell you what's going on right now, and still hasn't decided if this is just a dream, or not. The former military man is just going to linger on the outskirts of the party and try not to stare at some of the more... interesting guests.]

[eldanomore.livejournal.com]

[Interesting guests? What do you mean interesting guests? Interesting like life-size japanese lolita robots with cat ears interesting?

[Oh look, there's one now!]

Chii...?

[And she is just as curious. Who might you be?]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland is bad at parties. He'll just be hovering over by the refreshments table and looking out of place.]

[criticizes.livejournal.com]

[ Norway will be hovering over Ice hovering over the refreshments table. ]

Borin'.

[miiracles]

[ Here's a loli hanging out by the refreshments, sipping a glass of... grape juice? Who knows! But she's just standing around, observing everyone.

o_o

O_O ]

[naicha]

[ What if I

just want to tag Rika

o_o

O_O

do we assume they know each other kinda already ]

Hello! [ Lowers herself a little because Rika is short and cute. ] How's the party? Are you having fun?

[semoponume.livejournal.com]

[ Sena Kashiwazaki, Little Miss Perfect, is here, strutting her stuff in a beautiful gown down the hall like a princess. Heads will turn, and she knows it. She should enjoy all the attention she's getting now, too, but she just looks bored, as if she's all too used to it. Men are so boring. ]

What are you waiting for?

[ If you're a guy, oops. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten in her way. ]

Humans have two legs made for walking, don't they? Boys never learn anything in school, I suppose! [ SIGH ] Well, it can't be helped. Bow down so that I can step on you. I'll even forget this ever happened!

[ Will you take her seriously...

OR

Whether you're male, female or anything else in between, you'll find her out on the balcony, alone and in tears.

She cries a lot. ]



Men are so stupid... The girls here are just awful... N, no one appreciates how smart or beautiful I am. I-I thought I could make some friends now, but I guess not. [ Sniffle! ] Ugh, whatever! I never wanted to go to this stupid party, anyway.

[mirauaucles.livejournal.com]

[ Hanyuu wanted to see the view from the balcony, but oh no is that person crying?! What should she do this is a difficult situation where is Rika--wait no she can do this!!

And so Hanyuu nervously stumbles over to her. ] E-excuse me... [ She is mumbling but that's OK!! She holds out a brownie that she'd gotten from the refreshments table. ]

Are you h-hungry? [ Clearly a reason to cry... ]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[Mikuru isn't really used to this sort of thing- so she's mostly just wandering around and trying hard not to touch anything that looks too breakable. Careful about coming up behind her though- she's still a little jumpy about the whole 'you're not in metaphorical Kansas anymore' aspect of the situation.]

[asgardsheart.livejournal.com]

[Noticing Mikuru's nerves, Sigyn approaches her from across the floor, a pleasant smile on her face.]

Greetings, Traveler. Have you been enjoying yourself?

[raps]

[See, there's this really cool dude that's hanging around here. And yeah, he could probably be more sociable, but that's just not his particular style, y'know? So he's just here, getting his chill on, keeping an eye on everyone and looking for anyone he might know.]

[8acksta8.livejournal.com]

[ What

Isn't that

Terezi's human????????

Gross! Why is HE here and not John. Or maybe John IS here ... and he'd probably know.

Gogdammit. w/e she's gonna slide up next to him all cool and coy like always, like she doesn't totally hate his guts. ]

You're Dave, aren't you? Wait, don't answer that, I don't care. Have you seen John around?

[clarinesprince.livejournal.com]

[FOR SOME REASON ZEN CAN'T JUMP OFF THIS BALCONY... So he'll settle for balancing precariously on the ledge instead.]

Huh.

[nobodyslord.livejournal.com]

[ Palom's just going to be standing behind you staring, Zen. ]

What are you doing?

[allthefriedrice.livejournal.com]

[ When you can't find a way out, no matter how much you've attempted to uh. Bulldoze over the walls or jump off the balcony only to hop right smack into some sort of invisible source, what do you do? Raid the refreshments, of course.

Sure, maybe they're laced with something. But then what does he care? He has an iron cast stomach. He also might be trying to forget the fact that no matter what he does, his powers just aren't working. ]

[asgardsbeauty.livejournal.com]

The apples are delicious...

[She leans forward, snatching one up taking a delicate bite.]

Sigyn grew them herself.

[classifidol]

[ there's someone chilling out on the balcony right now, instead of socializing like a good girl. But she's a little more distracted by the moon.

No, really, she's been gazing up at it for nearly the entire party. ]

[asgardsheart.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

[Suddenly, there is the goddess Sigyn, leaning over the balcony next to you, gaze also pointed toward the sky.]

[not-too-short.livejournal.com]

[Sitting on the rails of the balcony and drinking punch because he can, okok

And also because Nic's not much of a socialite, so staring off into the the sky seems nice.]

[asgardsverse.livejournal.com]

[That's a worthy pastime as far as Freyr is concerned. Don't mind him if he joins in, leaning his elbows on the railing.]

Do you like the stars?

[aestusaurea.livejournal.com]

[Being a wallflower? FUCK THAT. Saber will be invading the space of the musicians in order to give a ~very special announcement~. Who the hell needs microphones when you're a giant ham?]

Umu~! This is truly one of the most lavish of parties, only second in its opulence the banquets run by my own direction. Nonetheless, it is truly splendid and befitting for a great Emperor such as I. That is to say... Well done. As a token of my appreciation, allow me to bestow upon the lot of you a most greatest honor!

I SHALL SING YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE!

[Insert off-key high-pitched ancient Roman song here.]

[not-too-short.livejournal.com]

[WOW, RUDE TBH DUDE???

Nic will be over her making a few, erratic handsigns at her, as if he was saying

'CUT THAT SHIT OUT, YOU'RE HURTING MY EARS!!']

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[April has never been one for large crowds, so she's just sitting on the balcony with her legs dangling over the edge of it while holding a glass of booze she managed to get her hands on.

... Though chugging it all down in one go was probably not the best idea, BUT WHATEVER. It's a party, so she'll get tipsy if she wants to.]

[not-too-short.livejournal.com]

[Hey ledge neighbor, how's it going.

Brb gonna wave at you before looking back at the sky.]
