RULES
[.01] Main house rule of this ORP: Please limit your RP post word count to 200-300 words PER character you're writing. While this is not a hard and fast rule, it's to maintain a generally quick flow for the ORP. Is your post mostly dialogue? That's okay, really! [.02] This ORP will run its course from March 15th, 2014 (Saturday) to April 15th, 2014 (Tuesday). While it officially ends then, we hope and trust that you will contact any people you interacted with for plot closure.
[.01]Shop rules apply here. [.02] Mind your post formats. Please do not use fancy post styles or super tiny font. Please? ;3; [.03] If you are not a Raevan Owner, you may not post until your Character has been posted in the Non-Owner Profile sticky. [.04] Please don't crowd the Raevans! We all know and love the Raevans, we all have our favorites, but please do not crowd them. You'll all get your chance to say hi! [.05] Have fun! Somethings go without saying, but some are worth saying; we're all here to have a good time! [.06] Be clear about stating where you are! Do so by using (( )) around which area you're in, above your roleplaying post. For example, if Jeremy was grabbing a drink, Kyou's post would look like this:
Quote:
(( Mordekai -> Bonfire ))
Mordekai grabbed a bottle of beer from the cooler, then sat his a** down near the bonfire and did absolutely ******** nothing.
Psssst, the official 'locations' for the party are bolded in the description. Use those names! You can add more as you go along too.

All of the festivities for this Boil will be taking place outside, on the right wing of Lab 305. No one except for the helpers will be going into the cafeteria area if more food needs to be brought out.
Food: The four sets of larger tables have been combined together longways against the wall on the patio area to accommodate the newspaper lined with crawfish. There are two other aisles of tables; one is for human food, and the other one is for Raevan food.
Arts and Crafts area: There's also a table with a few chairs made available in the grass area, underneath the cherry blossom tree, for anyone creating crafts or drawing.
Seating: Chairs are sprawled out in the grassy fields, and there's a large cooler near the outside portion of the patio fence where you can grab ice-cold water and beer.
Bonfire and Games: There's also a bonfire a little further away from the trees with more chairs. This is nearby where the games will take place, as well.

I.RULES & PRIZESII. RAEVAN POT LUCK III. HUMAN POT LUCK IV. FULLNESS GAUGE V. MINI-GAME VI. ORP UPDATE
For Melisande, Cruz, Lulu, Cesc, Xiu, and Ekundayo:
Everyone that arrives at the pot luck will be receiving a pamphlet of house rules in order to feed the Raevans. It reads as follows:
A few of the Raevans present will have some very intangible food sources. Because of this, and for the sake of the event, we've made a few suggestions and rules to follow of the evening.
FOR MELISANDE: Positive interactions, positive attention 1. If Melisande is present, please be sure to greet her before you join in on the dining festivities!
FOR CRUZ: Kissing, vicarious kisses 2. While one of our Raevan guests do feed off of kisses, please be sure to ask both Cruz and the other party if it's okay to kiss them. We also encourage everyone to participate in the Chaste Dice Kissing Game.
FOR LULU: Creativity in form (light meal), active actions (moderate meal) 3. For anyone that's interested, there's a small arts and crafts section for pick-up at the Raevan buffet end full of pencils, paper, and various crafts materials. We encourage you to draw or create something before the end of the Boil to give to LuLu.
FOR CESC: Good deeds 4. It's encouraged that you participate in the Raevan-related activities to help feed them. If you can, please also be sure to tell Duncan or Mordekai if you're willing to clean up after the festivities close.
FOR XIU: Innocence 5. As we're unsure of the age range for both Raevan and human participants, we ask that you keep profanities low.
FOR EKUNDAYO: People's emotions 6. We hope that you can relax, enjoy your time here, and enjoy the food.
For Lazarus, Ethiriel, Tati, Zul, Isobel, Domevlo, Luka, Revontulet, Xiu, and Cesc, and Iorek:
A buffet table next to the human food is also made available for Raevans. Separate entrees are in individual baskets labelled by the Raevan's name.
FOR LAZ: Fire, mango, citrusy fruits A basket full of mangoes and citrus fruits are in a basket near one of the ends of the table. There's also a bonfire goin' on, like, right there.
FOR ETHIRIEL: Tarnish and rust (meal), sunlight (snack), water (snack) There are a bunch of miscellaneous severely rusted spoons and utensils inside of a basket. They would give Ethiriel instructions on how to rust things instantly, but, as it were, it involves acid, hydrogen peroxide, and lots of fire.
FOR TATI: Kinetic energy A hilarious amount of bouncy balls (from 1-6in) in varying sizes, all in a basket.
FOR ZUL: Sedimentary rock There are two bags of moderately sized rock (2-3in) with five types of sedimentary rock available in each: shale, sandstone, limestone, arkose, and gypsum.
FOR ISOBEL: UVA lights A UVA flashlight with a pack of batteries is on display, in a basket full of forget-me-nots.
FOR DOMEVLO: Pure lead, batteries, metals with lead residue A basket with a packet of batteries and five packs of pure led alloy ingot and mechanical pencil lead are in a basket!
FOR LUKA: Sunlight, any light A small basket full of an assortment of marbles were made available, with a letter:
"If you hold these marbles up against the sunlight, it borrows some and remains glowing for an hour or so. We apologize for the event running later in the day, but we hope this will help you in the future.
- Duncan"
FOR REVONTULET: Water, light There's a basket full of water in glass bottles wrapped in ribbon. A small letter tag on the side explains:
"We managed to find some moonlit water in an eclectic little store in Durem. We aren't sure if moon water would be any more filling for you, but upon hearing of your soul, we opted to try.
- Duncan"
FOR XIU: Blood This particular basket has a cloth over it with a letter letter on it that says "Please read first:"
"I was able to obtain a few vials of fresh animal blood from the farm I work at, including calf, rooster, horse, and pig. Now, I wasn't quite sure what type of blood you preferred drinking, so if none of these suffice, I apologize!
- Duncan"
FOR CESC: Dawn, light human-food ingredients A basket of freshly picked fruit lays at the end of the table, with a plain string necklace placed in a box. Its only pendant is plain white bead of five centimeters, with a small hole in the center of it. If you look through it while pointing it towards the sunlight, you can see the picture of a field and a slowly rising dawn. A letter reads:
"A favor was called in from a few more magically-inclined friends, who managed to capture the image of dawn inside of this bead. While it may not be a true dawn, this gift was meant for you in mind nonetheless.
- Duncan"
FOR IOREK: Rocks, pebbles; moss, salt, dirt, sand
A basket with an assortment of garden rocks and pebbles, full up with plenty of moss and dirt, are filled (as nicely as they can) to the brim!

HOW THIS WORKS: Every time your character engages in eating, roll 1 10-sided dice along with your post. If you have multiple characters, be sure to specify for whom you're rolling for.
The goal is to hit or go past your character's fullness gauge, which is 10 times the number of stars they have below. For example, if your character's appetite is 5 stars, you're trying to roll to 50 or over.
Don't worry about tallying up how much you roll-- we'll be doing that for you!

Things have been much the same for Dr. Kyou and his friends since the incident at Kahadlok. The good doctor remains comatose and in bedrest at his office while Jeremy and Lazarus take care of him. Other Lab functions have continued, for the most part, with the help of Zeke and Alex.
Other than that, things have been awfully quiet.

((Pasha -> Arriving))
”I’ll find a place for these. See you in a bit!” The Muse called back to Wasa, giving her tray of treats a little lift. The Muse had spent a lot of time on each one…every white chocolate strawberry had little white chocolate angel wings, and every dark chocolate berry had dark chocolate demon wings to match. A bag with the tablecloths and matching napkins were hanging from her wrist as she searched for the host and a place to set her tray.
Pasha was wearing a brand new outfit, something rare for the Sigel nowadays. The little black and white plaid dress seemed perfect for the occasion, and the fact that it was corseted made it an easy pick. She wore her long curls in a low side bun, secured with a black ribbon bow. As always, Zavier’s ring rested on its chain against her pale chest.
She’d tried to be early…after all, it was easier to set up once the tablecloths were in place, but everything looked ready to go. ”This is…amazing!” The Muse paused, beaming at the festivities.

[[ Melanie -> Arriving -> Meeting Pasha ]]
"I have to be there early. I have elected to bring the Pineapple Salad. Yes, I know mother. Thank you. Talk to you later. Mhmm. Bye-bye." Click. The woman dressed in her daily runabout garb said as she picked the glass tray from the passenger seat of her car. She needed to come and join the festivities as soon as she could just to begin her interviews and getting to know these beings known as "Raevans". The Gaian National wanted to see something different from her for the next week's paper. Thus, the woman did her research, found out about this pot luck, and decided to take advantage of it, reserving a special spot for her with some utensils and her family's special Pineapple Salad.
Walking up into the open area, the first thing she noticed was another -- what seemed to be woman -- floating a little ways from her. That must be a Raevan, these beings that were created by a Dr. Kyou that she had done some minor research on.
Melanie, with her hands full, quickly rushed over to the table with the rest of the deserts and placed her plate down. She turned back around to view the beautiful creature. Her first Raevan encounter, this would be interesting.
"Hello there! I'm Melanie Devereux. Looks like we're the first ones here." she said, holding out a hand to the Raevan. She could only hope the girl would say something back.
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:25 pm
((Pasha -> Food Tables))
Pasha still had her hands full, but she balanced the tray on one hand carefully long enough to offer her other to Melanie. "Melanie? It's a pleasure to meet you!" The Sigel released the woman's hand and reclaimed her hold on her platter, smiling at the prompt introduction. Everything was off to an encouraging start. In her youth, such gatherings hadn't always gone so easily.
"My name is Melisande. Our names must have a similar history?" The Sigels laugh was easy and light. "Please feel free to call me Pasha, if you prefer." Her smile dimpled, and she glanced towards the table where Melanie had set her plate. "I think I'll do the same, if you don't mind?" She nodded towards the tables, obviously inviting the woman to continue the conversation if she wished.

[[Revontulet > Arriving]]
The humm of the party could be felt even before Revontulet had properly arrived, and the little hum of her wings upon her back showed both her interest and excitement at being allowed to participate. Originally, the whole ordeal had been quite up in the air. Doucette had known from the beginning that she would not be able to attend, for her students were going on a field trip. The redhead had implored the frei to join her, but Ren had stubbornly refused until Doe had given in and called Trox, asking if he wouldn't mind keeping an eye on the girl for her.
Even now, Ren was amazed she was arriving so early, her blue eyes bright as she took in all the sights and scoped out all the places she wanted to stop and visit. What games did she think she'd like to play? The sign up table seemed to beckon to her and she decided to start there, taking measure of everything as she went.
The black tulle of her vintage style dress rippled lightly in the breeze as she moved forward, the beading catching the late afternoon light prettily. It was clear from the peach-pale blush upon her cheeks that parties were just the place the aurora liked to be.

[[ Melanie -> Food Tables ]]
Melanie smiled at the laugh that Pasha gave. "The pleasure is all mine, miss Pasha." she said, listening to her beautiful voice. It was angelic to her ears. For this girl to be an alternate being, she most certainly seemed human enough and her beauty far surpassed any human that she had ever met.
"Oh yes, please, sorry." the woman said, just gazing at the beauty of the Raevan. So Melisande was her name but she went by Pasha. What a beautiful name she had, not only because it was similar to her own, but just because it fit the physical beauty so well.
It was then that yet another Raevan arrived. She was just as beautiful. Her interest was peaked by looking at the two together. The first three beings there and she couldn't wait to continue her interviews.

((Shep and Cesc ==> Arriving))
"I told you we were early," said Shepard with a yawn as the duo entered. Compared with the ladies their attire was boring in the extreme, with Cesc in a dark grey knit baseball tee, the three-quarter length sleeves black, and Shepard in a plain blue button-up and street sneakers. It was their first Lab event without Vivi, who had thrown back her head and laughed at the idea of missing her long-planned spa date with Jaime, and her presence was missed.
The Aussie rolled his broad shoulders in discomfort. He needed Vivi to do all the small talk and the oh-hello-how-nice-to-see-you-ing. Immediately upon entering, he looked around for Alex or Anita.
No go.
"Ah, Melisande and Revontulet are here," said Cesc with a smile. "Let's go and say hello."
"Ye--hm?" Shepard began to acquiesce as his eye caught hold of Melisande. "Wait, hold on, mate, that's the girl who visits you in the bakery now and then?"
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2014 3:39 pm
((Food Tables))
"Not at all!" Pasha demurred to Melanie's apology, and found a place to set her platter of strawberries. "Whatever you made looks delicious." She didn't know the name of it, but whipped cream was high in the Muse's books. Straightening from the table, she turned in time to see an unfamiliar Frei enter, and behind her, the Stag. Pasha's face lit up, an in coincidence, the sun brightened as it came through the little clouds.
"Have you met many Raevans?" She asked Melanie, her eyes still warmly on her friend. She raised one hand in greeting to the boys, and made sure to include the other young Raevan as well.
"I love your dress~" Pasha called sweetly to Revontulet, hoping she wasn't being impolite. They'd never been introduced, but Melisande was hoping that was remedied soon. Any other Raevan with an interest in fashion was automatically a source of interest.
"Yenno," A heavily accented drawl came from behind Harrison's ear in the grandest of vehicles to be owned by a red blooded american turned red blooded Gaian. There was a pause, causing both driver and daintily floating passenger to glance back at the veteran medic. Harrison waited a second beat, glaring into those mud brown eyes of Camille before letting a sigh go.
"Hmm?" He barely had the energy for this one. Organized outings were simply not his ordeal. They were uncomfortable. They were timed and he always felt the itch to arrive late and leave after food. Tatiana merely glanced between the two of them, mouth posed in a small 'oh'. She imagined these two men were akin to a married couple. The bickering was her favorite part.
"It jus' ain' like y'. T'arrive all early. You're even bringin' two dishes." Camille smiled this time, large crocodile like grin that split his face in two. This man belonged back into the swamp. Harrison cleared his throat and shook his head.
"No, you made a legit acadian meal to please your new friend and I," He looked back over to Tatiana making eye contact before turning back to the parking lot, "WE bought cookies from the grocers."
The frei chuckled, hand gripping the safety handle above the door as Harrison parked. She waited patiently, receiving the reassuring tap on her shoulder that yes, it was okay to exit the formerly moving vehicle and head to the door.
" 'Sides. Doe asked for me to keep an eye on Revon, and I will," The pilot explained, gathering all the dishes- including the-- well Cam's cooking really never failed to please but he also had a penchant for never letting Troxel near it until it's served. Bad juju or something. Even still he grabbed the dish, tossed his box of cookies on top and stretched his lanky form out. "We'll meet you inside, Tatiana. Go find Revontulet. Uh. She's got-- hair? And green wings?"
"She gots hair.... Descriptive, Captain," Cam said, taking the help offered from the taller man to stand respectfully on his prosthetic.
Tatiana, on the other hand, waited for no one. She was on a mission. Finding fellow Raevans. Her blue wings fluttered, allowing for a small gust to tickle the strands of hair falling along her side. Camille had tried his best to braid the hamsa's hair but there was honestly just too much of it for him to handle. He managed to fill the top of her head and then some with braids - however the rest remained untamed- flowing halfway down her ribbon. The locks, midnight blue covered in stars, shimmered a bit as she hurriedly entered the lab. She wore a simple scoop back sundress, covered with a sheer midnight blue ballet coverup. Her arms had a modest amount of bangles and fingers still decorated with her rings. The jewelry, she thought, and the veil her her favorite aspects of her newborn outfit. Camille did a good job finding her other clothing- however.
With the mission on hand- with a mild struggle the gravitational anomaly pushed herself into the foray of the lab and managed a quick scan of the place before furrowing her brow and gently calling out in an accented voice, "Revontulet?"
