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.

Kinda?

Truth be told he reminds me a lot of the guy who took me in. Except my old man was a lot more boisterous. Still Cid's got this way of cutting to the heart of things. Give you perspective.

I respect him a lot.

[garudas]

As one should.

[Hearing that does make her quite happy.]

I did not know it were possible to be any more boisterous than him, though. He must have been a very interesting character indeed.

My old man? They used to say down at the shipyard that they knew when they were close to port because they could hear him yelling from the other side of the bay.

I miss him a lot.

[garudas]

Ah, I could see how you might draw those similarities. I often feel the same about Cidolfus's voice.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Really? He doesnt seem the type to get loud and animated. He seems pretty calm and collected

[garudas]

[Without even thinking twice about how this might give her away, if it hasn't already—]

Cidolfus? When he laughs, and truly laughs, it often feels as though the thunder is rolling through.

[You're lucky, Benedikta. Darin can be incredibly insightful but other times? He's as clueless as they come.]

Okay now I wanna hear this for myself. I wonder what I can do to really get him laughing?
