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.

Karlach Cliffgate

You'll never find a warmer or more generous heart than Karlach's, truly an ideal representative for summer!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

SUNS OUT GUNS OUT SHES PERFECT!!!

[netherese]

My thoughts— well, not exactly, but rather near adjacent. Besides, who else is one to think of when put in mind of blazing heat?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Plus shes pretty much got the ideal beach body. Im pretty sure I could actually use her abs as an anvil in my forge.

+1

[multidisciplinary]

Yes! Karlach is exemplary of the ideal feminine form!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Really? Ideal?

She looks incredible but I dont think everyone needs to be that built to be hot

[multidisciplinary]

Well no, all different body shapes are attractive in their own way.

But the pinnacle of femininity is to be tall, curvy, and bearing exquisite muscle definition!

[ Look, trust her on this. Her surrogate mom was like the most gorgeous woman in Hyrule. And she was fucking shredded. ]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Darin stares at this message. On the one hand, Karlach is hot in every conceivable metric. That's just objective fact. But he's a little surprised to see Zelda believe that's the only definition of femininity.]

Really? Because I think theres other traits youre discounting.

[multidisciplinary]

Perhaps. There's also the matter of being a powerful warrior, which I have no doubt is true of Karlach.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Huh

Have you ever considered training yourself?

[multidisciplinary]

Why would I need to do that?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Darin kinda wants to write GANONDORF in giant, alternating colored font with maybe some explosion gifs ala geocities circa 1994. Except he doesn't know how to do that.]

Lots of reasons actually. Its great exercise for starters and it wouldnt hurt to be able to handle yourself if youre stuck somewhere out here alone.

Plus I think youre selling yourself short. Youre not exactly weak by any measure

I could teach you the basics if you wanted

[multidisciplinary]

[ He really needs to spend more time fiddling with the shellphone. ]

I'm not "selling myself short;" I am short. [ badum tish ] I have come to terms with the fact that genetics were not on my side and that the ideal Gerudo body is beyond my reach.

[ You know. Because she's short. ;) ]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Okay you know what]

I prefer you this way

1/some

[multidisciplinary]

[ WELL THAT TOOK A SWERVE.

Zelda was just trying to make a joke about being the antithesis of a Gerudo warrior SHE THOUGHT HE WOULD KEEP PLAYING ALONG ]

[multidisciplinary]

I

[ CRAP SHE ACCIDENTALLY HIT SEND ]

[headhunt]

hey elfy
what's a gerudo?

[netherese]

I suppose I've never given that first bit much thought, though the latter may quite possibly be true.

[He has, in fact, thought about Karlach in a beach setting. Briefly.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You know Im not really the type to think about that stuff, but as a blacksmith and fighter myself I can at least compliment a good physique. Especially since I know how hard it is to maintain.

Ive been working in the forge for for almost fifteen years. I know what it takes

[netherese]

That's quite an impressive stretch! I applaud you. Indeed, even I know such things take a great amount of effort, despite being a scholar.

[general_affairs]

You're so right you should say it again. Frankly with a smile like that it's illegal not to.

[netherese]

If I could nominate her twice, I certainly would! Alas, the once will have to do, but I will make certain she is well-appreciated in other ways.

( karlach doesn't reply immediately after she spots this, instead she has to get up and go pace around until she could burn out some of her flaring excitement. )

wow, gale! that really kind of you!!

you know what they say
SUN'S OUT
GUNS OUT

[netherese]

[He thought he heard pacing downstairs...]

A natural fit, I'd say! Kindness has little to do with it, dear Karlach; I can think of none better.
