Summer Gala

Hello everyone! It has come to my notice Death City needs more big social events, so me and a couple of other muns have been trying to put together a Summer Gala for our characters. There is still a game-wide plot waiting for us before the gala, but I wish to give everyone time to plan, plot and decide what to do and that's why I'm making this ooc announcement so early.


WHEN
First, the gala would happen during ONE NIGHT (and maybe morning, okay), and I would like to make a quick voting of when should the Gala happen IC-ly. However, if you are worried, and to make this possible for players, the log for the gala will be posted a week earlier to let everyone tag and play out their plots, so when it actually happens in game, players have an idea what will happen.

Due to game wide plots and also a slightly (note the slightly) realistic ic-ly time ratio without making the players wait far too long, we (along with the mod's help) have decided a good time for the gala would be by the end of July, specifically from 26th onwards (18th June in game). Now the exact date, I would prefer to leave it up to you.

Let me know when you'd prefer for it to be IN GAME, and remember the log will be posted one week prior to that date.

The gala will be held IC-ly on the 20th June, which makes it 2nd August in real life. The log for the gala will be up 26th July (in 4 irl days).


WHERE
The gala would be by the Shibusen City Park's swimming pool so drunk people can undress and go swim naked. I don't have an official map of the place, but there will be several tents set up, each for a specific area.They are also making use of the Swimming pool building for the lavatories, coat room and most likely bar.


WHO
This Gala is meant for BOTH Guests AND natives. A way to keep good relations and also a way to avoid surprise bomb attacks, because part of the city will be there. This is also why we will need the Watch.

It will be formal attire, which means everyone needs to get a fancy suit. It's recommended and insisted that your character doesn't come alone. This means that YES please make your character ask for someone to be their pair during the Gala - preferably with everyone watching!


HOW AND WHAT
This all started because Condesce likes big shiny things, big parties where she can show off and because I really wanted a Gala to pick dresses for my characters |8 so Condesce contacted Keroro and they decided that wow, it might be cool to have a gala indeed. However, I know well if Condesce threw a party, a group of characters would not come and I don't wish to leave anyone behind. That's why I've decided that Keroro and Eve's business would be the host and NOT Condesce, giving opportunity to whoever can't stand the crazy empress to still come. ICly, Condesce choose this because she doesn't want to take a stand just yet - she is waiting to get have power first; meanwhalemeanwhile, she will use others.

So, Metokkori R will be the official host of this Gala and the ones who will invite everyone through the network.

However, I really wanted to make this, you know - BIG. So I thought, let's bring more people in. That's why I asked for Lily's "Yesterday's Magic", World’s End and the Watch to also be involved in the gala. So icly, we have the Gala hosted by Metokkori R, with help from Crockercorps, Yesterday's Magic, World’s End and The Watch.

Other characters will be helping as well, such as:
Cupid - decorate and party planning logistics.
Karina - music
Kanaya - dresses and makeup and hairstyles and also emergency-fixes for clothing mishaps or hairstyles during the event
Hamel - music
Nanami - music
Shinji- music
John - music

Native NPCs will be helping serving and preparing the gala as well.


TO BE PART OF IT
Like I said, I would like to make this big and have as many people as possible involved in making this gala. I also don't know who exactly has what job and what exactly can each person offer. That's why I would to know if anyone wishes to help? Like, your characters works somewhere that provides food? - great, let's have them provide the Gala with food. Your character can play an instrument at the gala, or is a DJ and they'd like to be part of the entertainment? - let me know and we will make it happen.

If you think your character can IC-ly help, let me know.


PREPARING THE GALA and PREPARING FOR THE GALA
There will be an IC announcement pretty soon, letting everyone know that in 10 days there will be a Gala and everyone is invited. Characters are welcome to play out shopping for attires, learning how to dance, ask other characters out. If you want to play out the actual Gala preparation, you are welcome to, but I'll let you know Condesce and Keroro will be icly contacting the people that wish to be part of it (whoever wants to offer their character to help out).


THREADS
So, the gala log will have the following threads SO FAR: "Arrival/Coat room (aka, what is your character wearing)", "Dinning tables", "Bar", "Ballroom", "Swimming pool", "Lavatories", "Watch area", "Park". The Ballroom thread will have a sub-thread for Partners to dance (Meister-Weapon partners, I mean).
Anyone will be welcome to create their own threads, of course. And if you have any idea or suggestion for things you'd like to see, let me know! C:


So I think that's all! Use this post to plot and also there is a thread where you can ask questions, give opinions, critics, comments, suggestions and so on!

I pretty much have no preference at all |Dc just leaving that here.

I think it would make sense to leave at least a couple of in-game days between the end of the event and the gala so that people aren't trying to log both the end of the event and the gala at the same time if the gala log is going up a week early. And it would give characters a bit more time to prepare if they were out of the city due to the event. Plus, we're not completely sure what will result from the event yet.

Otherwise, I don't have much of a preference.

+1

I know I'm especially slow with event logs, so having a decent amount of time to finish up with that (or at least move things along) before worrying about the gala log would be a big help

I'd prefer for the log to be posted in the weekend after the 26th (so the 27th-28th of July) since I'm going on vacation the week after and then I could at least still get some threading in since I definitely think this whole thing is super cool! But that's just a personal preference.

The weekend seems like a good set of days to focus on, so the 27th-ish would be fine by me!
