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.

[Is she wrong???

But she finally deflates, letting that breath she'd been holding in go.]

Why not just send me better pictures just because? :)

[Oh.

...]

Sure. I have a few I can send.

This just happened to be the one that I had... but I'll be sure to take more when I get the chance.

Of Valo or of me?

If I said of Valo, would that make you feel better?

I know you're not telling the truth.

You caught me.

Though, I do remember that you owe me a few more pictures of you and me together...

Do you want like the one with Valo?

[Now his teasing is a little more obvious.]

sxcvbm,./

[She dropped her phone. Give her a minute.]

I mean, if that's what you want...

[He just snorts and laughs a little at that.]

You don't sound too thrilled by the idea. Don't worry about it.

What!? No, I didn't say that. I just meant that if you wanted to, I wouldn't mind...

[Guess how many times she deleted and retyped and deleted and retyped.]

You don't mind it, but do you want it?

[Is he trying to trap her? Maaaaaybe.]

[Like a rabbit hopping right into the wolf's trap...]

Well, of course I do... I mean something similar anyway!

[WHY DOES SHE FEEL SO GUILTY, she didn't want him walking away with the impression that she didn't want to!!!]

Similar how?

[JUST KEEPS GOING.]

Well, I

[ ...

..... ]

I think a proper kiss would be better.

[ ... ]

On the cheek!

[Oh. She actually said it.

...]

And you want to take a picture of it?

[Because he asked!!! And now it's awkward. And oh god, this is public, isn't it? Shiva help her...]

I just meant in general! This was a trick question! 😖💦💦

[He's laughing quietly, already imagining how she looks, and it's honestly...not a bad feeling, this.]

We'll see.

Huh? See what!?

The picture.

If you really want it, I might consider.

[She is blushing so hard right now help...]

Oh... okay. Well, I do... I mean I would.

I'll keep it in mind.

Maybe next calendar, we can use a picture of us.

[...

WAIT CAN SHE UNSEND THIS]

[Welp that wasn't anything he expected and there will be a notable delay before she gets a response.

Because that definitely could not be unsent.]

Maybe we can.

[Next calendar... Would presume there' s a next year for the two of them. And that's going to leave him contemplative again, but still... It's not a bad thing to think about.]

[She is regretting so much in that delay between her message and his, and when she finally does receive it...

She's not sure if that makes her feel better or more embarrassed. All she knows is that it's like her cheeks are on fire.]

I'd like that.

[asdsldfkjsdfa;fafj]

Anyway! I gotta get going. Bar's not going to open itself.
