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.

A fair warning. It's generally recommended not to look at the sun for too long lest you be blinded.

I doubt the sun blinds anyone on purpose, but it happens nonetheless.

You cannot deny that there is at least a small amount of risk towards anyone besides Mr. Alhaitham looking at you for too long a period.

But why? Why is there risk? I'm not actually incandescent, what's happening???

[ Wait, this is backwards somehow. ]

I've been speaking in metaphor this entire time.

I still do not see what could pose them such a threat? I don't really like people taking pictures of me but it's not anything I wasn't used to.

Were you married to Mr. Alhaitham then?

No, but what does that have to do with it? It's not like he's going to go around attacking people...

[ Sir. He's the one who's supposed to be romance dumb. ]

Before, you were not spoken for. Were anyone to eye you with romantic intent, it would not be an issue.

They're not particularly being romantic, and I'm perfectly capable of telling them no, so there's no need for anything violent to come of it.

[ That is... one way of doing it.

Also, how many times has Kaveh been kidnapped? Just saying "No" is not always enough.

Then may my warning, Mr. Alhaitham's statement, and yours be enough to discourage any who would stare too longingly for the sun.
