        Hey all! Sorry I've been such a horrible host for the past looong time. But let's get back to business.

        Since it looks rather likely that the ball will be late June rather than August, I want to move up the tektek due dates, just so we can give Para more time to produce our lovely art. Would April 15th be okay for everyone? It looks like we've got most of it down already.

        I've gathered what I think everyone has as of right now in the cut, and you guys can check and update me if you've made changes.
        Spotted: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. (sans matching crown thing)
        Cadenza: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. (sans matching crown thing)
        Para: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. (not sure if this is actually what you have, I just picked one out of your attempts, haha)
        Sari: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
        Mishi: User Image


        Remember to ask around if you need anything. I'll compile a list of what everyone still needs (if any) once we finalized them, and then we can work together to try to collect the items. (:

        ALSO, I think we should start working on the plot again as well. Maybe we could set a deadline for the rough draft to April 15th as well?
        Under the cut is some notes on what we have already, feel free to make suggestions or something.
        -the main plot is (even though I don't think we're measuring popularity anymore) still a contest, so we can still get competitive.
        -what sort of party should we throw?? I believe Mishi suggested a circus theme, which seems pretty cool. We could go the themed-party route as well.

        Libra and Gemini have long been rival countries.
        ((insert lots of bad blood here, maybe we can make up some history??))
        Deciding to put the past behind them, both monarchs agree to join the two countries together in an alliance. They throw a party to celebrate the occasion ((maybe themed??)), but during the party Libra and Gemini get into arguments and decide to call of the alliance.
        ((also insert ways to boost guest interaction))


        And oonnee last thing:
        CONTESTS.
        We still need to sort out some sort of contests. Would anybody be up to hosting a contest? Does anybody have any contest ideas?
        Let's all just brainstorm right now, and maybe once we've collected some ideas we can move to a separate, more organized thread.

April 15th has passed and I still haven't decided on shoes for my tektek... ha...

As for the plot, maybe since both Libra has to do with justice, maybe one of Libra's citizens (a Libra person? Constellation?) was tried under Gemini's justice system and was found guilty, but the procedures were not complete (according to Libra). Gemini refused to hold another court proceeding, however, and they've been at each other's necks ever since.

Maybe the alliance was due to the "guilty" Libra person's punishment ending, or something, only for them to get into trouble again. Gemini argues that since that person was tried once under the Gemini system, they should be tried again under that system. Libra argues that the Gemini justice system isn't fair, and the Libra system should be used.
If there's a circus theme, maybe someone could get injured, and the "guilty" person is being tried or is liable or something?

EDIT:
As for topics, maybe we could do a trivia contest? I would suggest court cases from the past, but the more important ones tend to be the more controversial ones.
Maybe we could do a spot-the-difference thing? Since, you know, Gemini likes two-ness and Libra likes balance. If I have time after the tekteks, I could help with drawing the pictures.
And then, we could do riddles that have to do with justice and duality. Like, the riddle where there's one person that speaks only truth and one person that speaks only lies, and you have to find out which is which.

        Ack sorry! I've been completely dead the past few days, and have hardly checked Gaia.
        I don't even remember when I was actually logged in last, rather than just having a tab open. xD
        And I'm not even going to bother to try to catch up with announcements.

        But anyway, I read your post and I love it! It really gives some sort of backstory we can work on.
        And I really love what you said about the riddles contest. We could really have a lot of fun with that, and encourage interaction. I'll start a thread right now to continue with the contests.

        And also, since April 15th passed looong ago, I figured it'll be best to start the art now, even though I'm not sure how many people have actually finalized their tekteks. But I wouldn't want to hold it off for too long so that you're rushing to finish the art, so maybe you ca start on Sari's first? I do believe that her tektek has been finalized for a long time now. (:

        Thank you so much, and sorry for taking so long to reply! > <
