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.

[An anon friend, you say...]

I wasn't aware someone had such a flattering picture of me.

Was this perhaps right before I burned some jellyfish to a crisp...?

still anon :)

[afflatusexarch]

Someone with such an angelic persona would never think of doing something so dreadfully violent.

Perhaps it was from a different occasion?

[empyrean_mirror]

Oh, how handsome!

An excellent choice for Summer, naturally.

5ever anon

[afflatusexarch]

Isn't he just?

A true, pure soul.

[gruffier]

No choice better suited.

[ Is this a vote? CAN HE PUT IN HIS VOTE? ]

going to remain anon until officially called out

[afflatusexarch]

I certainly agree. A shame that such a pretty face has gone unnoticed.

[gruffier]

[ ... ?

Oh. Clive wasn't aware about possible suitors for Joshua in his area. ]

A secret admirer, then?

[afflatusexarch]

Alas, I can only admire from afar. He is far too good for the likes of me.

Best find him a good match, hmm?

You know he totally fits that autumn vibe! Fall's when everyone has harvest festivals and he's always making people feel welcome!

staying anon

[afflatusexarch]

Doesn't he just? Autumn also reminds me of needing to huddle together to share in the warmth and the good tidings that these festivals bring. Joshua is very reminiscent of that warmth.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Oh absolutely! You know what's best for that time of year? Curling up with a good book! Another Joshua staple!

[tilfrosset]

Truly no better choice in my eyes, but I may be a bit biased.

forever anon

[afflatusexarch]

If you are, then I most certainly am as well. Does he not embody the soft, warm colors of Autumn?

[sunsetking]

Not a bad picture.

anon!

[afflatusexarch]

Why thank you. I pride myself on capturing someone's good side.

[pinksidekicking]

A+ storyteller. Perfect for autumn when all you want to do is cozy up next to a fire with a hot cup of cocoa.

anon

[afflatusexarch]

Yes! Yes, this exactly. I see you understand the angle I am coming from on this.

[pinksidekicking]

I bet the reason he's a good storyteller is because he consumes so many books.

text; un: starshower

[starshower]

100% yes! Joshua's the best. One of the sweetest people I've been able to get to know here. ❤️

[THAT'S HER BESTIE!!!]

anon

[afflatusexarch]

Quite so! I am very fortunate to have found a friend in him, indeed.

[starshower]

Why autumn, though? Can't say I disagree, but it's an interesting choice.

[ramuhs]

Calm with a cool yet warm nature just like the heat of summer when it dies down--a fitting match, I'd say.

[afflatusexarch]

Goodness. I am wondering if I have ever truly seen him angry.

[ramuhs]

I suppose dealing with a certain parasite was the closest we had. Even then it's more like a stern lecturer, isn't it?

But those can be the most frightening.
