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.

yes, although the existence of other worlds isn't common knowledge on every world. the ones i have visited have all been very small, but from hearing people's stories here, that seems unusual. if your earth is a big place, visiting a new country might be similar to how visiting a new world is for me. without the need for space travel, of course.

[ he absorbs the information on dark-types carefully. it's amusing to him that they're weak to bug - maybe he should try throwing a caterpillar at a heartless and see what happens sometime.

the confirmation that dark does not equal evil makes him feel weirdly validated. ]

thankyou for answering so thoroughly. do you or... turo? have some resources i could read so i don't take up all your time with questions? learning about other worlds was part of my schoolwork back home, and i find it engaging to study information like this.

I think that'd be a fair equivalent, yeah. Different countries can feel like totally different worlds after all, culturally and geographically.

[He has to refer back to Turo for a sec since he remembered him working on something--]

Actually, Turo-- well, Professor Florentino Turo, has been working on a book known as a 'Pokedex' in his world. An Encyclopedia of Pokémon, writing down everything he knows.

[It helped having the dex uploaded into the guys own brain, let alone what the original Turo remembered himself--]

And it was with the full intent of sharing it with people, so once it's ready I'll let you know and you can come look. But I don't mind answering questions for you. Helps me tested out how well I've been studying too.

Plus, I was working on a record of where people were from. I need to get back to that, but once I have it tidied I don't mind you looking at it. The results people told me were pretty... varied. I think the responses are mostly public still too if you want to scroll back the shellphone a bit.

[Hey, of course he's going to encourage a kid to keep studying even when out of school. That's good work ethic right there.]
