OOC
This is a CYOA sort of format.
- Each IC option is prompted by the User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. symbol. Choose one of the options carefully! Make sure you read this thread first!
- Once you have chosen that one option, follow the list of options until you hit a result OOC quote. That is the result of Part 1 of this Task for you. Follow it accordingly!
- This task will ask you for a memory based on your choices. Make sure it is one you are comfortable with sharing about your character.

There is ambient music playing in the background, like none you have every heard before. It chimes with the whispers of voices and bells, and feels like nostalgia unexplainable. Odd, white flakes begin to fall from the heavy grey sky, soft and powdery. You hear the light crunch of something strange, more delicate white on the ground. Unlike the fog, it is oddly solid, and yields tiny imprints of your feet after each step behind you.

In front of you is a table. There are two jars, one pink and one blue. The pink jar exudes a happy feeling, one of fondness and kindness. The blue jar emits one of sadness and a little bit of unresolved tension, as if waiting for something or someone.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Take the Pink Jar ]

You take the pink jar. It has a tag on it.

Drink Me.

As this is a Goddess Task, it would be foolish to choose anything else. You drink all the contents. Immediately, you feel its effects, as a soft, warm happiness overcomes you. You feel lightheaded, but also at peace. It doesn't even bother you when the table begins to spin, just the top of it, overflowing with cloth and then an assortment of snacks. The cake looks extremely resplendent, rich and tasteful covered in icing, while the cookie looks a little more ordinary, albeit not as decadent.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Eat the Cake ]

You take a bite of the cake. It is extremely rich! Immediately the sensation rushes to your head of euphoria, and you feel a little overwhelmed. Perhaps you should get something to drink. The opportunity arises in the form of tea cups. There is an extremely ornate gold tea cup, covered in decorative shapes and what look like expensive materials, and a very colourful teacup, covered in bright red glittering hearts.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Take the Gold tea cup ]


You drink from the gold teacup, and the memory you immediately evoke is one of pride. You feel carefree and strong. You feel accomplished and empowered. You know, or some part of you, some part of you that clicks and connects, that this was, once, yours.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

You have brewed a full pot of Proud Tea. If you have not already for this character, create a Journey log in this subforum. If you already have a Journey thread, you may just continue on with this one. Place the image (above of the tea pot you obtained) in the first/ next available post of your Journey thread. Then, write right underneath it a past memory response to this feeling.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Your Past Memory ]:
- The past memory response is a memory that happened to your character in their past (before this meta) that evoked in them this feeling (the feelings listed in the prompt and on that card). Feel free to describe their results and actions, even tell us a little story! You are free to NPC in as many characters from your character's past as you like and make up past events/ describe past events that evoke this emotion. You are also free to use for returning players an old RP'ed MEMORY that evokes this emotion. As this is a memory, the character's memory of what happened might be a little twisted. Feel free to re-describe the memory that happened in that RP from your character's POV.

Example of confusion memory: Sue stared at the teapot in front of her. For some reason, staring at it felt right, it felt natural. The table began to shift in front of her. She saw her family in the distance. It was a holiday. They called it Christmas, that was right, a holiday called Christmas. In front of her were presents, wrapped up for her. It was supposed to be her holiday, the day that her parents gave her whatever she wanted. After school, when the holidays started, she would get her presents.

"Don't walk home too quickly," shouted the teacher after her. "The snow is super thick today, and cars can drive dangerously!"

She ran home from school from the school bus and unlocked the door and standing in front of her was a tree glowing with bright gold and green and red lights. Her parents would be coming home any time soon. She waited and waited and waited.

Her parents never arrived. She didn't receive any presents at all and would never receive any ever again.

You drink from the colourful tea pot, and the memory you immediately evoke is one of love. You feel cared for and ultimately at peace. You feel a warm, bubbling emotion that you almost can't describe, that makes your Heart beat a little too quickly, and wonderfully. You know, or some part of you, some part of you that clicks and connects, that this memory was, once, yours.

You take the cookie, and it calms you a bit. You don't feel as overwhelmed, but still, rather pleasant. You level-headedly explore your options. Perhaps you should get something to drink. The opportunity arises in the form of tea cups. There is an a bright pink tea cup, covered in flower patterns, a very delicate looking ivory-white tea pot, and a worn, but sturdy yellow tea pot.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Take the Pink tea cup ]


You feel a very protected warmth, as if something within you wants to surface and let itself known. It unfolds, and you can't help but let the memory progress, revered. You know, or some part of you, some part of you that clicks and connects, that this memory was, once, yours.

Drink Me.

As this is a Goddess Task, it would be foolish to choose anything else. You drink all the contents. Immediately, you feel its effects, as you feel a mild concern, a dissatisfaction. You know there is something important you're forgetting, something you can't forget. The agitation begins to overflow as the table spins, just the top of it, spilling over with cloth and then an assortment of snacks. The cupcake looks fragile, tiny and lost, while the candies are slightly withered at best. Seated far away from the other two snacks is a slab of chocolate that almost seems to smoke maliciously.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Eat the cupcake ]

You take a bite of the cupcake. It is as promised, unsatisfactory, but more than that your Heart begins to beat a little faster in trepidation and anticipation. Perhaps you should get something to drink. The opportunity arises in the form of tea cups. There is a pale white tea cup and a pale black one. Both are equally uncertain .

You take a bite of the chocolate. It is too rich, and immediately, several conflicting feelings settle in your Heart, making it feel heavy. You rarely have felt like this in the past; is this a new development in becoming a Queen? Perhaps you should get something to drink. The opportunity arises in the form of tea cups. There is a deep brown and red cup, unpleasantly shaped, a soaked dark blue cup with questionable contents floating within, and a grey cup that is literally smoking. All of them require quite a bit of courage.

It was supposed to be her holiday, the day that her parents gave her whatever she wanted. After school, when the holidays started, she would get her presents.

"Don't walk home too quickly," shouted the teacher after her. "The snow is super thick today, and cars can drive dangerously!"

She ran home from school from the school bus and unlocked the door and standing in front of her was a tree glowing with bright gold and green and red lights. Her parents would be coming home any time soon. She waited and waited and waited.

Her parents never arrived. She didn't receive any presents at all and would never receive any ever again.

You drink from the teacup, and the memory you immediate evoke begins to churn darker. You feel vindictive and spiteful, like when hunting down the fog-like creatures that plague this area in your search to ascend to being a Goddess. You feel unnaturally destructive, beyond all gathered logic. You know, or some part of you, some part of you that clicks and connects, that this memory was, once, yours.

You are free to NPC in as many characters from your character's past as you like and make up past events/ describe past events that evoke this emotion. You are also free to use for returning players an old RP'ed MEMORY that evokes this emotion. As this is a memory, the character's memory of what happened might be a little twisted. Feel free to re-describe the memory that happened in that RP from your character's POV.

The last of the memory from your sip of tea plays its course as all you have left behind is now a teapot of your experience. There is a note attached to it, a small book. It reads:

The Tea Diary: Brewing the perfect memories.

You continue to read it, the writing is written in very playful, delicate printing occasionally littered with hearts at the dot of each 'i'.

How to: (Page 1)

The Tea Diary will help you obtain the most complete of memories to become a Goddess. A Goddess is nothing without their treasured memories, as are their candidates. In this tea pot in front of you is one of your treasured memories. But it is just one, and your goal is many. Look behind you. There are so many other tea pots and your cup is empty. Will you not taste them all?

Tasting Teas (Page 2)

Tasting a tea is simple. Simply take a teapot from the table, any that is not yours, of course, and take a small sample. Then record on the next page your Tea Passport Log, the taste of this tea. This is the most important part! Experiencing memories, new and old, is how you will become something greater!

The next page is a spread, but it is empty, other than each series of lines that read the following:

OOC: TASTING OTHER TEAS


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. [ Tea Passport ]: The second you have finished the above post with your own memory solo relevant to the tea blend you chose, mark the title of your thread Jouney - Name here - Tasting Open!. This lets players know your thread is now open to Tea Tasting.
- Now, as a player you must sample at least three other player's tea blends (their tea blend memory). You may sample more than three, but there is a MINIMUM of three.
- Go into a thread marked Journey- Name here - Tasting Open. It CANNOT be any character you own. Scroll down until you see the image of their tea blend (like this) and then read their memory post.
- Now, use the form below to write a proper reaction to their memory post in an IC way your character would view or consider it.
- Basically you are "Guest Writing" in other people's Journey threads by "tasting" their tea blends. You will be "Guest Writing" in a minimum of three people's threads, don't feel shy, everyone gets to mingle. The goal of the exercise is to experience other's memories!
- Because these are other character's precious memories, please be thoughtful and considerate while writing your character's experience to it. Try not to rush through them and have a little bit of effort (more than a one liner). These are memories that may affect your character as well!

[b]Colour of Tea Tasted:[/b] *list the colour that appears on the [url=http://zoo.thesporkedken.com/download/legacy/blessings/blend_proud.jpg]tag image[/url] of their listed tea image. In this case (Proud Blend) of that image, the colour would be PALE YELLOW.
[b]Description:[/b] Describe the memory in short notes. Describe the feel it gives to your character, just short phrases is fine. Make sure anything you describe is ICly related to that memory ONLY. If it is a memory related to [b]you[/b] (your character in the past), you still only see it as their memory. It does not ring a bell for you

[b]Your commentary on its flavour:[/b] * Please only REACT to their memory. Do not bring up new memories from the one written. You also [b]do not know[/b] icly who's memory this is, as it does not refer to a name you know of.
- If a memory overlaps with one of your written tea memories, or a person involved, then and only then, can you sense some familiarity. You still wouldn't know who the person experiencing the memory is though.
- Tl'dr: you are taste testing the memory, and writing a small reaction prompt to it, maybe even an observation your character has of that memory.
- Ie: Whomever had this memory must have been ___. It reminded Sue of her own trials and struggles and left her with a sense of loss. She couldn't help but still linger on the memory and what that meant, especially when ___ and ___ happened. She felt as if something was missing. [/quote]
