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.

Yeah, you! What was that vote about? You got a problem or what?

[You were suppose to be her new cool friend Eustace! This betrayal...]

that earlier one was meant to be video OOPS IGNORE THE TEXT FORMAT HHASHDFH

[flamekthunder]

[Hmmm.]

Not really, no. I just think he'd be better in summer.

[Not the main reason, though—]

mmm idonno ill think about it tho

[bloodthirstydawn]

Summer...?

[There's a thoughtful pause at that as she considers it.]

Why do you think summer? Oh, hey! That's no reason to down vote it!!

noo pleeassee

[flamekthunder]

His personality fits.

[Said in the "nicest" way possible.]

heehee

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Aw, do you have a soft spot for her not to be so blunt? Maybe you are a good friend after all.]

I guess...but I already put it here.

[A pause]

Hey, did anyone put your picture up yet?

[flamekthunder]

[........]

No.

[Sort of. Technically there is the one with Valo down there...]

And don't get any ideas.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I see. That's a shame.

[She hums a bit before giving a big smile]

Hey Eustace! Are you busy right now? Can we meet up real quick?

[She totally doesn't want to snap a quick picture of you with her phone or anything. hehe.

[flamekthunder]

[....Moroha.

You're kind of obvious.]

Very.

[He says.

While lounging in a chair that's somewhat visible through the video screen and Valo's ears now poking up as he's curious to the voice.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Aw c'mon, it'll just take a second! We had fun the last time we met up.

[Look subtly is not her strength. She's head first most of the time. Though she leans and moves a bit as if trying to peer at her phone at different angles will let her see more of the ears peeking up.

It in fact does not change the view at all...this stupid video thing is stupid.]

[flamekthunder]

[He's about to answer when he notices her...strange...movements.]

...What are you doing?

[And there will now be a NOSE as Valo tries to push his face a little higher.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha just leaning this way, that way and nothing is working. Her cheeks puff out a bit]

I was trying to see that!

[She pokes the screen, trying to point at Valo's nose....or touch it maybe. She's doing better with this whole phone thing but its still something that this is just a moving photos or whatever and not really there.]

[flamekthunder]

[See...oh.

Eustace looks down at Valo stretching up a bit, tail wagging, before there's a quiet huff of amusement.]

You mean Valo.

[And he will be nice and lower the phone so the two can now see each other. Valo, seeing Moroha, will pant happily and she'll see that waggy tail!]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[She perks! Aww, Eustace look at you being nice.

But Moroha is more distracted by Valo. She smiles bit, her eyes lighting up more]

Hi Valo! It's nice to meet you, I'm Moroha! I hope Eustace is really nice to ya and gives you lots of tasty food. If he doesn't let me know and I'll beat him up!!

[She just chats at him like shes meeting someone new, dog or not. Though she does look to Eustace]

He does seem happy!

[flamekthunder]

[He can be nice for dog.

Valo just barks and wags his tail more while Eustace rolls his eyes.]

Of course he is. You don't have to worry about any of that.
