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.

I see.

So you are fond of her, then.

[The amount of blush that creeps over his face right now, biting the inside of his cheek as he types back a rushed response to this. Too bad he doesn't know how to make things private either.]

How do you know that!?
garudas: (🗡️ 019)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-03 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. She didn't know. She was just poking the bear, so that reply is a little unexpected!?!? Well, interesting.]

Oh, please. It is quite obvious the way that you talk about her, and how you sought her out after a bad bout back in your home world.

[Well, shit. The cats out of the bag now even if this person didn't know before they sure as hell do now! Not like he was being subtle anyways talking over the network out in the open where anyone could see but he really didn't care come to think of it. Denji knew how he felt for awhile now even if Mid still didn't realize it herself quite yet.]

For real its that obvious!? Well damn. I mean she has always been real nice to me and was there when I needed someone to talk to so that I didn't go ape shit raging out.

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
She was the first person you thought of when you returned, yes?
nutsornothing: (096)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-06 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that's right. I didn't want to see anyone else.
garudas: (🗡️ 020)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-07 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Then I think that is grounds to say that yes, you are.

[And now she is very serious about this!!!]

Does she know?

[It takes him awhile to respond to this not really sure how to go about it so he just speaks the truth.]

I...don't think so.

I've told her she is cute and stuff but never said it yet to her face.

[Denji didn't want to push Mid away in fear of losing her too. After all she was someone very special to him, one of the only girls he'd known to truly acknowledge his feelings without having ulterior motives of manipulation for their own nefarious means or secretly lowering his guard to make him an easier target to kill unmercifully. ]

[Oh, Denji... You sweet boy. Even Benedikta feels a touch of pity for them both.]

You do not need to wax poetic at her. Simply telling her that she means much to you, and that she is special to you would be more than enough. I very much doubt that she would accept flowery confessions anyway.

[Honestly, what she would have given just to hear that from a certain someone a long time ago.]
nutsornothing: (078)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-07 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Not like I'm afraid or anything but what if she gets mad or runs away? When I got sent back home a lot of people died on me and don't want to lose her too.

[He totally was. Lies, lies, lies.]
garudas: (🗡️ 090)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-08 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
What makes you think she would be angry or run?

[Midadol is nothing like Benedikta, who is someone who might have gotten angry and flown as far and as fast as she could away from those feelings. She had, for a long time.]

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-08 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know! She's the first girl I've liked who might like me back for real and isn't just fucking with me!

But what if she doesn't and just thinks I suck or is being nice because she has to?!


[He's thinking irrationally but that's what happens when you've been tricked by other girls your whole life who just want to use you for their own gain it messes with your self worth.]
garudas: (🗡️ 056)

she's making this private now

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-09 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
If she does not like you, I am certain that you will know it. I do not think that she is capable of doing such a thing, and she takes after her father in many ways.
nutsornothing: (145)

He sure wishes to know how you did this

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
She came straight away when I needed someone to talk to that's a good sign, right? Even said she would bang on every houses door to find me.

That made me laugh though I felt like complete shit.

garudas: (🗡️ 248)

cid probably had to remind her-

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-11 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[A storm, just like her father.]

Did it make you happy to see her?
nutsornothing: (022)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-12 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, of course!

She always makes me happy when we get to hang out together.
garudas: (🗡️ 061)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-12 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
And I see nothing wrong with telling her that.

I only wish that someone would have said it to me sooner. Regretting not doing so is not something someone as young as you should have to live with.
nutsornothing: (006)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
So what you are saying is I should just straight up tell her?!
garudas: (🗡️ 129)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-15 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I am, yes. And it would seem that you have experience with how fickle this world could be. Does that not put things into perspective?
nutsornothing: (131)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-12-15 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure what fickle means but if you are talking about how I went home and came back yeah there's no telling when any of us will leave so I better act before it is too late.

Thanks for the pep talk mystery person!
garudas: (🗡️ 061)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-16 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish you good luck.
