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.

A reminder of what?

[ In this case, the photo was taken to look back on and laugh at or to use for faux-blackmail and retaliation (as it has been here). Shepard genuinely does not understand what Alhaitham is trying to spell out for her. ]

[It's fine, most people don't really understand him either.]

That the both of you belong to each other.

[...not that it'll stop him from bluntly stating things anyway.]

Ah, gotcha.

But isn't that what wedding bands are for? Or even tattoos?

Some people require something with less finesse.

[Translation: sometimes people are stupid and need it blatantly shoved in their faces to Get It.]

[ Ohhh, something happened. As much as she would love to pry for gossip, this guy is a perfect stranger to her. ]

I'm sure there's someone who could sell a lip stain for you, if that's what you're looking for? That should work pretty well for a while.

[Something always happens just by the nature of his husband being who he is. Something Shepard would probably know a thing or two about, no doubt.]

My husband would probably be interested in that, but I don't need it myself.

[He's got other ways of doing things.]
