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.

Most of our interactions thus far have been either combat situations or for business. That isn't to say he wasn't friendly, but he had a more professional air about him...

...And perhaps a little less, now that I think of it. Especially when working on his weapon, he was quite energetic.

[ Oh, Garrus... ]

Yeah, he's very passionate about guns - especially his rifle. Was obsessed with calibrating the guns of my ship back home.

[ The guns of the Normandy were Shepard's biggest obstacle in her initial attempts to woo him, and she will never let this go. ]

[ramuhs]

I saw it firsthand and was quite interesting to watch, really.

[...Hm?]

Now I wonder if you are the "friend" he mentioned needing a gun not too long ago.

[onebullet]

[ Oh? ]

I might be.

You the guy that modified his assault rifle to have a beam cannon?

[ramuhs]

I am. Cid Telamon at your service should still need of it.

[onebullet]

I'm Shepard.

And yeah, I sure do. Though whether I need new guns depends on if you can work miracles with what I have.

[ramuhs]

If it's not too different from what Garrus have, I may be able to try.

At the very least I can take a look.

[onebullet]

The technology is pretty similar for the rifle, and I have a silenced heavy pistol too.

They're pretty roughed up [ This is a huge understatement. ] but it'd be appreciated regardless.

[ramuhs]

Come by my workshop then when you have the time. Given the holidays I won't be there as often as usual, but you are welcome to make a proper appointment.

[And he'll include address of said workshop in Nogard.]

[onebullet]

Thanks, I'll take you up on that.

I can use Garrus's assault rifle in the meantime, so I'm okay to wait until after the holidays.

[ramuhs]

I should hope you won't be needing it to often, but I'll keep a note of it.
