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.

Benedikta Harman

While she may seem more like winter spirit but I think this picture shows another side 🌹😉

[indispensable]

[Just.

Gonna make a note to not be around the Roost for a bit.]

Good luck.

[...that's all he'll say.]

[ramuhs]

I wouldn't worry too much.

[He knows how to handle his wife—]

But if you don't see me around for a while, you'll know why.

[Can be interpreted in either a good way or bad way.]

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham isn't doubting Cid's abilities, but he sure as hell is still gonna stay far away.

There are just some things best left to the unknown.]

I'll see you around, then.

[Definitely not going over to the Roost for A While, then.]

[He is probably already expecting it, but here it comes in three, two......]

CIDOLFUS!

[Their bedroom door crashes all the way open with a wind and she follows it like a little black screeching storm cloud. Or a very angry bird looking to peck him.]

[ramuhs]

[And he just swivels in his chair with nary a look of surprise, instead just spreads his arms wide.]

Ah, there is my lovely spring dove~

[garudas]

[She would look so much more intimidating, she thinks, if she did not just climb out of bed still in her pajamas, rumpled as ever.]

Do not—what is the meaning of this!?

[She waves her phone around clumsily in her hand, without ever once showing him the screen.]

Really? I dont think she's that wintery at all. She's always been really nice to me. I think spring is a great choice!

Kinda like a refreshing spring breeze to energize you.

[ramuhs]

Exactly, you understand my intentions perfectly.

And even her blustering gales will do the same.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Perfect for spring in my opinion!

Its like

Have you ever been out on a spring morning and the wind still has some bite to it? But when the clouds blow away and the sun hits you and its really warm?

Kinda like that!

[empyrean_mirror]

good luck, cid.

[ramuhs]

I'm still here at least 😉

[empyrean_mirror]

Maybe I should have wished Benedikta luck instead.

[Because she's clearly the one being bullied here.]

Well-put, I feel, and there is no winter without spring to follow.

[ramuhs]

And spring reveals all of winter's hidden treasures.

[netherese]

It certainly does. I would say that's quite apt, in this case.

Spring can be finicky with unexpected storms. Though I suspect one will be coming your way sooner than we think.

[ramuhs]

I wouldn't worry too much. I can weather any storm, and what is one without thunder?

[pinksidekicking]

I approve.

[ramuhs]

Knew I could count on your vote.

[Especially since each vote helps save his neck—]

[pinksidekicking]

I might have had a wintry start with her, but she's so awesome.

Damn that's one hell of a good picture with that lighting. Something about this yells 'cute couple' but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[ramuhs]

Oh really?

[Very amused, he's curious to see what Reno can think of if he manages.]

[gruffier]

Sorcery you were able to take this without her noticing.

[ramuhs]

Then call me a wizard for there are a lot more that I won't be sharing.
