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.

Simply out of curiosity's sake--why spring?

[book2thehead]

Warm, pastel colors suit him, I feel~

[empyrean_mirror]

That's true enough. I suppose I always associate pyro visions with summer, though.

[book2thehead]

Oh? Do you know many pyro vision holders who truly shine in the summer?

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Goodness, you really know how to capture my good side, mon coeur~

[book2thehead]

What can I say? I just have an eye for beauty~

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Indeed you do, mon amour~

I just hope a picture can measure up to to real thing~

[book2thehead]

A picture can do many things, but holding up to your radiance in person? It could never do you justice~

[astudyinviolet]

I wondered how long it would take for you to post a picture of him.

[book2thehead]

Well, I did consider keeping him all to myself. But in the end I guess I wanted to show him off a little~

[astudyinviolet]

I could understand that, yet he is a performer. Would you keep him from the stage?

[book2thehead]

Alas, no, I wouldn't. He glows most when he's performing, and I wouldn't dream of keeping him from it. Have you seen him do any of his tricks?

[astudyinviolet]

Only a few. He made a blue flower appear on my person, and later he made the roundest cat I have ever seen appear from a hat.

[ Heizou! The cat was SO ROUND! ]

[book2thehead]

Oh, so you met Rosseland! He's one of Lyney's dearest cats. :3

[astudyinviolet]

One of? He has multiple cats?

[ Are they all just as round?! ]

[book2thehead]

He doesn't have as many here, unfortunately. Rosseland seems to have come with him from home, but besides him there's also Foxtrot!

[astudyinviolet]

Where does Foxtrot appear from if Rosseland is in his hat?

[book2thehead]

Now now, a good magician never reveals his secrets~ ;3

[astudyinviolet]

I am hardly asking that. I have never seen two cats peacefully share a small space for a long period of time, so Rosseland and Foxtrot cannot both be in his hat.

[book2thehead]

They can if they get along well enough! But I couldn't tell you whether or not they both sit in his hat even if I wanted to, I'm afraid~

[astudyinviolet]

So we've had a mystery right under our noses this whole time.

[book2thehead]

Oh? Do you really want to unravel the secrets of a great magician? I'll have to make you swear to silence once you've learned them!

[Because maybe Heizou already knows them, despite Lyney refusing to tell him.]

[astudyinviolet]

I am not in the habit of revealing others' secrets for no reason. I wouldn't be able to do my work if I did.

[book2thehead]

You know, sometimes I really do forget exactly how similar we are, and then you have to go and say more things that I agree with~
