THE INVITE!
Greetings friends, and a glorious welcome to the Traveling Pan-African Carnival! As some of you know, here in the US February is Black History month. Additionally, some of you may know that the UK celebrates their Black History month in October. Well, we decided it was high time to celebrate both of them on the site. Thus, the creation of the Traveling Pan-African Carnival!
THE CARNIVAL!
Originally an event that only took place in the Capitol, a group of wealthy Capitolites has taken the death of Snow and the new inter-district travel program and decided that it was time to start bringing the Carnival to the Districts as well! They'd like to let them see what it means to celebrate black heritage throughout Panem.
A traveling parade and accompanying collection of street vendors and performers create in every district a carnival lasting three days and three nights, with the band of performers moving on to the next district afterward. They bring with them foods that many will have never tried before, spices they've never even heard of, so easily accessible to those in the Capitol. They have song and dance, and there's even a few stalls selling specialty goods if you look in the right corner of the party. In each district, performers throw beads to the crowds, and the more you collect, the more likely it is that you might be crowned Monarch of the carnival!
Starting in District Twelve, the carnival will make their way through the districts in ascending order until they finally make their way home to put on one final, extraordinary show in the Capitol!
OOC MECHANICS!
Out of character, the goal is to write in as many carnival threads as possible and earn as many beads as you can! Ultimately, the person with the most beads at the end of the event will win a custom title and in character be able to crown one of their characters who attended the festival as carnival royalty!
The first six districts parades will be taking place during the month of February. An event organizer will post an IC thread in each of the districts, and you will have until the end of the month to write as many posts in the thread as you would like collecting beads. The more the merrier, if you ask us! The District Five through on to the Capitol will be occurring later this year during October. Tallies will be kept separately and a winner for both months will be declared! The two characters crowned will be the "king and queen" (so to speak, genders are a construct) of the Carnival.
In short:
- IC the event lasts 3 days/district
- Initial post, roll 1-10 to see how many beads you collect
- Every subsequent post in that thread is +2 beads automatically
- You can participate (are encouraged to!) in multiple districts parades OOC
- D12-6 happens in February
- D5-Capitol happens in October
- Please post below tallying how many beads you have collected!Happy US Black History Month!! Let's celebrate!Any questions, please reach out to
