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.

Weird? Howso?

[Like, that's...his last name?]

[makoglow]

It's Cid. Just Cid.

[empyrean_mirror]

Are surnames not common in your world?

[Says Kaveh Genshinimpact.]

[makoglow]

They are, but who here addresses him by his full name?

[empyrean_mirror]

Well it'd be pretty weird to call him Cidolphus when he's not in trouble...

I think only Benedikta really does.

[makoglow]

Not really sure that I've met her.

[garudas]

This had better be a vote, Kaveh.

[SHE'S SO ANNOYING.]

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't know, completely anonymous stranger, are you voting for Haitham?

[HE SEES YOU, BENEDIKTA.]

[garudas]

[SSSSHHHHH.]

And stoke his ire? I have a touch more respect for the man than that.

[empyrean_mirror]

Then what exactly is my incentive to vote for my captain? I'd hate to objectify someone wise enough to be my father.

[He is going to play hardball about this specific thing.]

[garudas]

I do not see how this is any more objectifying than some of the other photos I have seen crop up here. And if anyone were to do such a thing, they would surely know by now that only the wrath of his "lady friend" awaits them.

[She has clawed out people's eyes for less.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Thus providing a compelling reason for me not to vote for him; she doesn't seem the type to share.

[YOU TERRIFY HIM, BENNA.]

[garudas]

[AS SHE SHOULD.]

The least you could do is offer your thoughts. He is your captain, after all. If she had you at the end of her sword, what month might you say suits him best?

[ :D ]

[empyrean_mirror]

Truthfully it's not the sword that worries me.

August.

[garudas]

Very good. That is precisely what I would have voted for, too. You've fine taste.

[empyrean_mirror]

Of course I do, it's part of my job.

Though I'm sure you'll forgive me for saying my tastes lay elsewhere in this regard.
