WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

Hey, it's me. I think I'd make a great Mr. April.

[afflatusexarch]

April showers and all of that?

[ Since their first date was in the rain! ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Well, I was going to say as fresh as a Spring Chicken. Hahahahah

[afflatusexarch]

We can make that your caption for the month.

[makoglow]

Are you even really surprised?

[activatingcombatmode]

He took a pretty good shot of me!

[makoglow]

If it were me I'd have picked one of you passed out on the deck. Drooling on your arm.

[empyrean_mirror]

Not too subtle, are you?

[Pot, kettle.]

[afflatusexarch]

I was not trying to hide it, my friend.

[empyrean_mirror]

But rather restrained about it, I see.

I'm well aware this paints a target on my own head, but this does seem to be the opportunity for payback.

[afflatusexarch]

Restrained? How so?

If it were truly an opportunity for payback, Alhaitham and I would be battling it out.

[pinksidekicking]

Surround him with some flowers from Aerith's garden and animals, then it's the perfect spring calendar picture.

[afflatusexarch]

In truth, I thought so as well. Flowers and a light breeze. The personification of Spring itself.

[pinksidekicking]

Bet we could get him to hold a puppy.

[afflatusexarch]

Isn't there one on the ship now? I suppose it is a little large but I am sure he can hold it.

[flamekthunder]

[Reacts to the post with the 👍 for his vote. Yep, definitely spring.]

[afflatusexarch]

[ thank you. he knows he is correct. ]

If there's one person who personifies spring, it's this guy. I think the perfect month would be right when it starts to turn warm, but you still get that little bit of rain to cool things off.

[afflatusexarch]

Miss Tifa, it is as though you read my mind. To me, he is very much Spring. A person who rejuvenates and revitalizes those around him while offering his warmth.

[starshower]

[And this is one of the many reasons she likes you, G'raha!]

Exactly! I'm thinking sometime in late spring. Which month would you say that is? 🤔

[afflatusexarch]

Ah. Well. You see.

April is more my thought, considering the spring rains that come help everything bloom anew.

My guy there's supposed to be a person in that picture not just sunshine you put a bunch of heart emojis all over.

Dunno if they'd let nerds onto the calendar though.

[afflatusexarch]

Are you calling Zack a nerd?

[general_affairs]

I gotta take it easy on the guy SOMETIMES.
