The following characters are to be judges, along with Conductor, in the panel to decide the winners (due to either coming in after the event was announced or because they lost their duet partner):

Cornet Espoir (missmarliest)
Alice Elliot (answer_his_wish)
Isis Ishtar (unseenvisions) Buguese (must_know_why)

Summary: Conductor tries to cheer everyone up by having a little celebration...little did she know...

( Not Single's Awareness Day. Again.Collapse )

[[ The glittery m&m cookies are actually made up of a good quantity of love potion. This will cause varying degrees of romantic emotions in people that range from being mildly smitten to ridiculously erotic toward the first person they see after biting into one. So, any person can be the target of a romantic advance from another. Of course, use discretion with the much younger passengers (such as Rose and Alphonse), please. Remember these feelings will only arise for the first person they see, so it doesn't necessarily mean it will be someone they know or even like.

In addition, one-sided attraction may occur, causing the other person to become bewildered by this sudden attraction. Of course, two people may eat these cookies and become attracted to each other. This also knows no bounds...and one may be attracted to another of the same sex.

Also, a playlist has been devised of the music playing in the lounge (for post reference):
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 5
Track 6

Track 6 reverts back to 1 after it ends. Enjoy, everyone~! ]]

( And so we join our noble passengers once again...Collapse )

( Get ready for a lot of people!Collapse )

[[ Greetings, new and old players alike! Welcome to the third valkyrieexpress open log, in which we form our own dressing room-like roleplay for a few days. Like last Thanksgiving, anyone can drop in (anonymously or not) as a character without the obligation to apply to the game. Journals can be brought in from other roleplays or those you wish to test out for our game or anything one's heart would desire. And, of course, the established players of our game are expected to join in when they wish.

However, our mods would like to address a few things before we proceed with this event. It's expected that everyone who plays to show respect, courtesy, and friendliness to the others. This roleplay promotes these aspects above all else, so those who are joining us for this log are expected to adhere by such guidelines like the others.

No characters that are already taken in this list are allowed to be brought in. Similarly, if a character you play is already participating in the log, do not intentionally bring him/her in. 'Doubles' just end up making both the characters and players severely confused.

However, one exception is that AU versions of characters can be brought in. For example, if you wish to play an Alphonse Elric from the Harry Potter universe, you can! As a reminder, original characters are also allowed to be brought in.

This log, while starting off at Budew Park, is not restricted to such. Everyone will have access to all of Early Oats Town, as well as the rest of the train. Anything can happen that one would like to, be it humorous or dramatic or action-y or romantic. Try to build up to whatever it is that you'd like to have happen, though.

Additionally, the characters are not aware that this is a temporary arrangement. For all they know, everyone is coming to stay here like the rest of the VE cast (although some members of the train may realize what’s going on by now...). So, it will probably come as a shock to most the others when they disappear suddenly at the end of this event. Of course, applying for a character that participates in the log will likely ensure that they won't leave anytime soon.

To make it easier, you can label the comment header with the location your character is currently in. For example, someone can put "Pokemon Center to let others know that a particular character is in that area during the thread.

Multiple threads are allowed to be made - and are highly encouraged! There will be five different sections to post: the day of the picnic and the subsequent four days afterward. It's up to the player to decide how much they wish to play. More than two characters can play in a thread, but it is recommended that you prearrange this with them. You may contact starbeii or fungopus on AIM for more information regarding this.

While we're sure there will be characters from the same series interacting here, we would like to encourage everyone to branch out from that and try playing with characters from different series. After all, this is a multifandom game that enjoys crossover interaction!

As a warning, non-VE characters are NOT allowed to comment in the VE journals. On the flip side, VE characters are NOT allowed to comment in the outsider journals either. Anyone caught doing so will forfeit their eligibility to apply/continue playing for the game, no exceptions.

We will be writing this out in log style. If you're not sure what that means, look through the other entries in express_logs to get a feel of what it's like. For further details, you can also refer to our last two open logs.

Above everything else, have fun~! ]]
