The Kingdom In October:

As September drew to a close, the transformation effects from the tainted water began to fade, person by person. It lasted longer for some than others, and even into October you may still happen upon the occasional hit of the potion’s effects. But, largely, the water has become completely safe to drink again. The wizard is still at large.

Incidentally, a lot of those who didn’t get hit by the Monster Transformation Event chalk it up to beer, which they claimed while drinking the beer, and completed drinking the beer long after the water is declared safe. Maybe the tavern wasn’t the best place to point out as an example of people escaping becoming fuckbears or whatever. ANYWAY-

October is here! The Kingdom doesn’t have Halloween, of course. That would be silly! But it does host a legion of religious faiths and cults with their own major holidays, many of which just happen to have a spooky tone. Not all of them, of course. Plenty are actually wholesome harvest festivals with a wholesome amount of fucking (ie: behind a haystack after a good round of dancing) or are ritualized excuses for convoluted orgies. But there is definitely an interesting venn diagram type overlap for spookiness, wholesomeness, and horniness going on.

And the way that you’ll be finding out about them is easy: THE HARVEST FAIRE! Outside the city limits, people of dozens of faiths will be pitching tents and pitching their faiths. Not in a boring way, though—inside the tents, the faithful are conducting rituals, dances, feasts, orgies, cuddle piles, drug trips, and occasionally actually communing with a real deity. They’re intended to be bite-sized tastes of what their cult/church/group is all about, and most of them don’t cost anything. Some of them are elaborate shows for small crowds and individuals, while others sweep you directly into the action for anywhere from five minutes to an hour. Why not give them a whirl?

In fact… you’ll find on slower days that there are a few empty tents available, and you, outsider, have had a number of at least passingly curious natives asking you questions about what “harvest holidays” you celebrated back home. Feel up to the challenge of training up some recruits to help you “sell” your harvest holiday to the masses? Or maybe you can just fabricate one to throw a halloween party or whatever for fun, I’m not your mom.

OOC Details on The Harvest Faire:
We are putting up a mingle for all things Harvest Faire. There’s about a dozen medieval faire tents of varying sizes: the smallest are only meant for maybe six people at a time, and the largest could comfortable hold two dozen. Each day a different religion takes a turn at the tent, cycling in and out throughout the month on a schedule. But the schedule has holes in it, so the organizers of the faire might not-so-subtly suggest that certain offworlders would be welcome to use the tents if they wanted. No paperwork or payment required.

This event has a few options: meander around outside, enjoy NPC holiday tents, or characters can put on their own harvest faire things.

Meandering around outside and making vague references to the contents of tents is of course totally fine. For anyone interested in picking up odd jobs at the faire, there will be quests your characters will see advertised in their journals--see below in the monthly quests section!

The tent experiences come in three flavors: ones we can make up on request with only NPC interaction, ones you make up for fun for private or open threading, and ones your character puts on ICly because they want to share their culture (or throw a party, w/e).

For a mod-controlled tent, you can request or discuss what kind of experience you want your character to have (here or in private), and then post your character’s starter! It can be anything from “spooky seance” to “i’d like my character to be encouraged to try out [kink] in a wholesome holiday setting.”

If you’re making something up for yourself and others to enjoy, you can make up literally anything as long as it has an Oglafy flavor—and no one gets seriously hurt (non-consensually, anyway). Religious play about their great prophet who fucked the goblin king into submission, with an awkward question and answer session with the actors afterward? Sure. Everyone eats brownies and shares a hallucination about the god of the bats? Cool. Orgy with monks chanting ominously in the background? Weirder if there weren’t any! You’re welcome to format these prompts either as a general mingle scene anyone can use, or specifically closed for your character to share an experience with a friend. (WINK)

As for a character running their own tent: you’re welcome to have had your character recruit NPCs from the village or castle servants who will play along in varying amounts of enthusiasm and comprehension for your holiday(s). However, you’re responsible for supplying your own food, props, and costumes… though maybe your character can talk the NPCs into treating it like a potluck... anyway, both residents of this world AND player characters will come by, so there’s a chance NPCs will really like it or hate it or just feel really sorry for you, and that could impact your character later. Not in any specific way. Just in a like, social way.


In your journals, some new quests appear! What could they be...

The Harvest Faire
[ Throughout the month, various tasks relating to the Harvest Faire will appear. They are no more complicated or strenuous than volunteering to clean up after rituals, gathering supplies, preparing snacks, or helping them set up and take down tables or whatever. ]
Reward: 5g each
Quest Details: Complete thread of at least AC length pertinent to being a carny.

The actual harvest.
We go through this every single goddamned year, it’s another dang party and half the work hasn’t even been finished yet! You fucking people. Anyway, if those of you out there reading this have an ounce of civil responsibility in you, I have crops to bring to market, and not enough hands to do it.
Reward: 10g and two armloads of vegetables.
Quest Details: Complete thread of at least AC length. Have fun being attractively sweaty and a responsible citizen as you load up carts bound for the market or help keep an eye on the stall while the farmer gets a beer.

DO YOU WEAR UNDERWEAR?
Sure, we all do! But are you wearing the fairest underwear in all the land? Probably not! But you will be, and hopefully everyone else will too. Looking for models of all shapes and sizes to model our exquisite underwear around town, at the castle, and at the faire. Our underwear is so soft, you won’t think you’re wearing anything! And everyone else will wish you weren’t! Ha ha!
Reward: 15g and you can keep the underwear.
Quest Details: Complete thread of at least AC length. Character will have to walk around in public wearing underwear while the pantysmith’s apprentice accompanies you and does some town-crying to draw attention. You can wear shoes and other accessories, the underwear just has to be plainly visible and unobstructed. The underwear can be tame or wild in its appearance, but it IS exquisitely comfortable.

Could this be... the chance to get Kaph to chill and admit he's bi?? I mean, he's stubborn, but whatever scenario we come up with has to be convoluted anyway because Oglaf.

Copious amounts of weed or some similar magical drug may help, honestly? But I'm not sure if they'd do the job alone. He'd be marginally more likely to confide in someone who reminds him of himself - not the face he puts on, but something closer to his actual self, someone young and frustrated because they feel powerless and want more out of their life, like people's respect and a spotlight. That definitely wouldn't do the job alone, but maybe combined with something else, we could make some progress...?

Honestly I'm kind of afraid to give this a try just to end up with this garbage boy throwing a fit and vandalizing the tent or something.

Whoops, sorry for the wait. I think that's all I can come up with for now, so let's roll with the punches here!

Could I get some NPC interaction for a "The actual harvest" thread with Egon perhaps?
hauntpadour: (a happy surprised boy)

[personal profile] hauntpadour 2017-10-09 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm open to suggestions! Egon will be happy to volunteer his labor in the harvest for vegetables.

Any chance of encouraging Eowyn into kink stuff via the mode of Cult Shenanigans?

You bet! Any specific kinds of kinks you wanna emphasize?

I'd love to play with BDSM, particularly power dynamics, from either side!
