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 suppose so. Even if some of them do find themselves attracting far more unwarranted attention than most.

[Because Kaveh with his disney princess powers attracts more than people. Unfortunately.]

[ramuhs]

But we're the one they chose so can take pride in that.

[indispensable]

[Cid sure found the exact configuration of words that stokes Alhaitham's ego like no other. Indeed, Kaveh did choose him... and now, nobody else can choose his senior in turn.]

Of course. The ability to choose is something which many tend to overlook.

[He will never let himself forget what it means, for Kaveh to choose him.]

[ramuhs]

[Sorry, Kaveh—]

Indeed, and the same goes for you to him.

Well, not that a little jealousy hurts to spice things up a bit.

[indispensable]

[It's fine Kaveh will get him back for it later.]

Perhaps, but in my case I am simply reminding others where their boundaries lie.

[Sorry Cid Alhaitham is a very possessive man. And no, he is not ashamed about it. Kaveh is his.]

[ramuhs]

[It's fine, he's just like Benedikta. Endearing, really (when one is on the receiving end—most times).]

Which I do believe you have made quite clear, so you at least shouldn't have to worry about it.

Though just out of curiosity, what would you do should someone ignore your "reminders" and persist?

[He knows how far Benedikta would go (for better or worse), but what of Alhaitham?]

[indispensable]

Kaveh would be the one reminding them at that point, not me. And if they refuse to listen to him and persist, their actions would then constitute as harassment.

[Which means Alhaitham has every right to show them a thing or two about being annoying... if Kaveh himself hasn't already done it by then.]

[ramuhs]

[A wry chuckle to himself at the answer.]

I'd say that sounds reasonable.

[indispensable]

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not an unreasonable person.

[He just has very high (or very specific) standards about certain things.]

[ramuhs]

[doubt.gif—no, while he may be difficult Alhaitham isn't so unreasonable about most things as far as he can see.]

Aye, I can attest to that.

But I can feel Benedikta's glares so I best be off.

[indispensable]

[Well to be fair Cid may have a bit of a biased opinion considering what he has to deal with... has chosen to deal with... either/or.

Anyway.]

Send her my regards.

[...and luck, after a fashion, though he doubts that she'll really need it.]

[ramuhs]

I will.

[And that will be the last they hear from him...

Until sometime later but who's keeping track of timestamps.]

[indispensable]

[Well, Alhaitham would, but in this case he doesn't find it necessary anyway so.

Good luck again, Cid.]
