So...I've noticed Etraya has twelve months, and Eberron also has twelve months. Eberron's fourth month is in spring, and Etraya's fourth month is also in spring. So I'm going to just assume April is Eyre, which means...it's my birthday on the fifteenth!

I was wondering if anyone would like to do something for it? I was thinking drinking, wrestling, playing games, that sort of thing!

And there could be a roast! And pie!

Congratulations on another year of survival. Is this a meaningful year for you?

[will_chase_balls]

Not really. It's my twenty-first. Still, any excuse to celebrate is a good one!

Is that what you normally do for your birthday?

[will_chase_balls]

It is. Why, what do you do for your birthday?

[aershari]

I guess I hadn't considered birthdays here. Whether it still counts, you know? With the whole. Different worlds and timing, probably. But. Happy birthday! I'm....kind of a lightweight when it comes to drinking. But I'm sure I could show up and figure something for you? You should totally do something for it!

DWAYNE!! If you're having a big ass party, I'm so there.

[ It's been a bit since he touched base with his wolf-bro, after all! What better way to do it than with a party?? ]

What kinda games you planning to play??

Re: un: ashari

[will_chase_balls]

Any excuse to throw a party counts! And I'd assume we're still aging, so while things might be slightly off, it's as good of a way to keep track as any.

There'll be plenty to do other than drinking! I plan to have food and games, too!

Re: un: vash

[will_chase_balls]

Sure! But not chocolate.

[will_chase_balls]

Well, there's goat ball, which is a game where you throw a ball at each other and if the person catches it, the person who threw it is out, but if they're hit by it, they're out, and if it misses entirely the game continues until one side or the other is out. You have entire teams and the goal is to eliminate everyone on the other team. It's best played in an area with lots of cliffs so you can climb up and down cliffs throwing the ball at each other.

Then there's Hrazhak, which is a game where each side has a totem and the goal is to take the other team's totem without losing your own. Once a team has both totems back in their area, they win. Usually it's played by shifters and the players are encouraged to shift into our other form and fight for the totem, but we can skip that part since most of the people here aren't shifters.

I guess so. I might still drink? Just. Not as much as others. It doesn't take much for me to be throwing up from it. And I don't want to make anyone else deal with that, you know. But food and games sound fun, too! What sort of games?

[godsandbats]

Not much. I tend to prefer being low key.

[photosympathies]

Not chocolate!

A preference, or is it bad for wolves too?

[will_chase_balls]

I'm thinking stuff like goat ball and hrazhak. Goat ball is usually played in an area with lots of steep hills and cliffs you can climb up and down, and you throw a ball at each other while you're doing it. Catching it means the other person is out, getting hit by it means you're out, and dodging it means the game keeps going until everyone on one team is out.

Hrazhak is where each team has a totem, and has to keep their totem from being stolen while trying to steal the other team's totem. Once a team has both totems back at their 'base', they win. It's usually played by shifters, and players are encouraged to turn into their beast form and start fighting over the totems. We might skip that last part since there aren't a lot of people who can shift here, though.

[aershari]

I'm not sure I've played either of them, but. I don't mind trying? I'm sure others will be new to playing, too, so.

[It won't be so intimidating if others are just as clueless? Right? In theory.]

I could help with the shifting part, myself, but. Yeah. I'm not sure about everyone else. Even if I could change into an animal if we needed.

[critpei]

OH!! We got a few games kinda like that! Different names, but I get the gist. That second one, and I'm not even gonna attempt to try sayin' its name -- maybe instead of shifting, you could just allow ALL powers? Turn it into a massive spar! One team against the other. I just got my powers back in February....so I'm good to be on anyone's team. Bonus -- I'd be like two players in one being able to summon Hermes to the field and all!

[ And Hermes can fly, so that'd be an extra bonus of keeping the totem safe from above! He's getting all hyped up just thinking about it. ]

[will_chase_balls]

Yeah, a lot of the people who go to the necromancy school near where I grew up were like that. I've never been a very 'low key' person, myself.

[will_chase_balls]

It's bad for wolves.

[will_chase_balls]

I have no idea what Hermes is, but that's a great idea! Then I could have my shifting fun, and other people could use their powers! And most people here do have some sort of powers, so it wouldn't be a huge advantage to either team.

[will_chase_balls]

Since I'm the only one from my world, I'm sure I'll be the only one completely familiar with any of these, so everyone will be learning!

That sounds great! I'll make sure to figure out how we'll handle that part of it by the time we actually do it.

[aershari]

I guess that puts the rest of us all on the same level.

But even if it's just the two of us, you can teach me? If there's nobody else who can Wildshape or whatever.

[will_chase_balls]

Of course! If you want, we could meet up and I could teach you the rules, play a game one on one.

[godsandbats]

I suppose someone who wants to be a necromancer wouldn't also be the life of a party.

[aershari]

As long as you don't mind me learning and probably messing up initially. I don't mind giving it a try! And uh. If Minxie, my saber-tooth form is too big or something, I can figure something else.

[photosympathies]

Aw man! That's devastating. I feel bad for you.
