☘︎ Loop needs Therapy ☘︎

Clover Day is an annual holiday and series of events hosted midway through the second monthg ( February 14 human world) to celebrate love of all kinds. Named after the princes of Verdania, this holiday has been a tradition in Pharloom for many moons. However, since The Haunting, the imprisonment of Grand Mother Silk, and the migration of the Weavers, the holiday has faded away. Now, with the dawning of a new age, the tradition will be renewed.

Art Trade

Join us for the Clover Day Art Trade! Paste a clover symbol (☘︎) into your roleplay blog’s title to indicate your participation. Draw art for any roleplay blog with this symbol, and they’ll return with art of yours! (February 12-16)

Night 1

“Night has finally fallennn! After all that has happened during the special event, let’s see how our surviving tributes are holding upppp!”

“Good news: it’s a mostly peaceful night. Bad news: a little more lives have been taken.”

“It appears so, my frieennnddd! The weaver Apate strikes again, going for the Caraniddd! But uhuhuhuhuhu! Instead of finishing them off, she’s left them to die slowly from blood losssss! Cruelllll!”

“And the Runaway Vessel, Cinder has also gone for another kill. A swift slash to the throat was all it took.”

“And now we have fifteen lefttttt! The games are going faster than we thoughtttt!”

“Indeed, Leela. Well. Besides the two who died, fortune seems to smile upon those fifteen tributes tonight. Albeit with a bit of sanity-questioning and sleeplessness…and on the brighter side, some bonding, teamwork and extra help.”

bleh bleh bleh death noises pathetic.sfx

I miss

my. wife. taaaillllllllllllllllllsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss MARTHA SWEETIE IM COMING HO- N NFOasbkjdas IM BACK IN THE BUILDING

Special Event: Traverse Pharloom

“That’s righhhhhttt! We have a special event to spice things uppppp!”

“If you thought the g-games would be as peaceful as it was previously, this’ll prove you all wrong. This is Traverse Pharloom, a round wh-where tributes are sent to one out of t-two deadly locations here in Pharloom and are expected to survive its dangers.”

“And it looks like they’ve been sent all the way to Mount Fayyyyyy! Uhuhuhuhuhu! I don’t think anyone is prepared for thissssss! The goal is simple; reach the peakkkk! Killing is not allowed when you’re thereeeeee! As long as you arrive, you’re safeeee!”

“The same cannot be said for the journey before that, though. Everyone knows how hard it is to scale the mountain.”

“Exactlyyyy! Lookkkk!”

“Oh. W-Wow…”

“So manyyyyy! Uhuhuhuhu! The thrills I’m feeling from watching this! Don’t you feel it too, my spider frieennnddd?”

“…I g-guess. And we’re not friends.”

“It appears most of our tributes have either s-succumbed to the harsh environment, fallen to a f-fatal misstep or were slain by their fellow tributes. What an intense round.”

“Let’s check the death counttt!”

“From 36 tributes, we have gone down to 17 tributessss! Uhuhuhuhu! Congratulations to those who have successfully traversed Mount Fayyyyyy!”

<Doesn’t help that you’re still shivering. Better start a fire if you want to survive.>

R-right…

[Spotlight summons a flame and places it down in front of them. Slowly, they sit down and begin tying silk around their nail to play some music]

If anyone wishes to…join me by the fire, you’re more…than welcome to!

@junior-and-dew @masterofthistroupe @loopdelooop

tthe fire is nice…. I’m. Both glad and afraid about how many have also reached the peak…. I. Should head back down after this…

Day 1

“Now that the Scuffle has ended and the rest of the tributes have scattered, let’s see how they’re doinggggg!”

“Well…it doesn’t look very v-violent thus far.”

“Huh, surprisingly soooooo! Interesting things are still happening, thoughhhh! For one, an unknown sponsor has contributed some Flea Brew to one of our tributesssss! Will it help them, or work against them—who knowsssss!”

“Oh. An attempted murder. The silkweaver is already playing aggressive this e-early. Luckily, her victim, the B-Bell Beastling Bappie has narrowly e-escaped a slow, painful d-death.”

“Uhuhuhuhuhu! Delicioussssss! Weaver-killer Ballow has also almost killed another, but was persuaded otherwisee! Who knew those Judges had a way with wordsssss?”

“…Phacia pollen. I didn’t know t-they’d put those creatures h-here. Thankfully for that…Sentinel, a faceful of pollen is n-not lethal. Though I d-doubt the amount makes any d-difference. It’s a machine.”

“Gotta go fast” as the kiddies say

What... what is going on now..? I'd rather you not nearly die again, dear Loop... but perchance could you inform me as to why you seem to have a surplus of...

*Xing's antenna twitched as she tilted her head in confusion*

Hormones...? I... whatever do you need such surplus for?

>> @thesilkweaverfrombellhart

*loop smiles, happy to see xing once again* *they are a bit weary tho, eyes half closed*

oh, xing! it's you, oh my. it's been some time, how I have missed your presence. xing, how. are you?

*he. stiffens*

hormones? oh.. you know about that. well. me and Fee have been investing in.. ahhh... HRT. it's great. a bit weird. the hero-in is a bit funky. I keep seeing fanart... everywhere. and these. emojis... but regardless. I am so happy for what's to. come!!

I know a little about it from chatter amongst other bugs... All I wish is that you stay safe, my dear friend...

I... what... what is hero..in...? What in anticipation are you joyous about, dear Loop?

and hero-in? herrooo-in makes you very loopy-loopidy. it's wearing off now. I think. I still see the sparkles....

@child-of-weaver-and-wyrm for being the absolute perfect roleplayer and definition of Hornet. The arcs? Delicious. The writing? Quite edible. The way you write the character? Absolute fucking perfection.

@phantom-of-the-exhaust-organ I believe I mentioned you last time but again! One of the best blogs out there. Amazing arcs, like- genuinely so fucking awesome ones, and I literally cannot imagine Phantom being any different than what you've roleplayed them as here. AMAZING work.

@pharloom-white-knight Dude along with Phantom you were one of the blogs that got me into this awesome whimsy in the first place. If it wasn't for you two, I would not be as whimsical as I am right now

@zemer-the-mysterious The way you roleplay as Ze'mer is genuinely unbelievable. For a character we have such little lore and dialogue from, you convey the character's personality PERFECTLY. The drawings you post along with some posts are absolutely scrumptious as well!

Commencement Ceremony & Team Sorting

Come one, come all! Welcome to the first ever Pharloomblr Games!

What are these games, you may ask? A deadly competition where the many bugs of Pharloom and beyond on this communication platform will fight each other to the death, of course! Out of the 36 tributes who have entered, only one shall make it out and be crowned the winner!

These games will test our tributes’ skills in combat, adaptability, and most of all, survivability! Our arena is laden full of dangers and fun challenges for our tributes, and even a special event that may or may not take place! Let’s not forget that while the arena is already dangerous as is, our tributes pose just as much danger to each other and can absolutely affect the outcome of the games. Get ready for lots of backstabbing and cold-blooded murder!

Don’t forget to place your bets! Rosaries, geo; it doesn’t matter!

Now, enough of this rambling—let’s get on to meeting our hosts! They’ll be the ones running the commentary for the rest of the games. Don’t miss me too much.

“Uhuhuhuhu! Welcome, welcomeeee! If you don’t already know me, I am Leela, Bellhart’s local shelldresserrrr! I will be one of the hosts for this event, uhuhuhuhuhu!”

“…H-Hello. I’m Dander. The…second host. Of the event….why did I sign up for this.”

“It was either you or the Void-ghost kidddd! I don’t think they’ll like watching people die that muchhhh!”

“…And you do?”

“Ahhh, I’m just in it for the rosariessss! Business has been getting slow, after allll. And the thrillll! I haven’t had thrills in a looong timeeee!”

“…I suppose I am in for the same reason. R-Rosaries, not the thrill.”

“Anyway, main pointttt! Here’s the sorted teamssss! We randomized the sorting using this handy wheel-thing my spider friend madeeee!”

“The games will start soonnnn. Get acquainted with your teammates while you can; you might be able to work together laterrrr! Also, whoever wins is entitled to a free shellcut* from me, uhuhuhuhu!”

*only if tribute’s consent is given

<Participant pings in order of teams>

I do worry. You bugs… seem powerful. I. Have no clue what I’m doing….

I am a mostly indiscriminate hunter though I do have my limits on what could be used as reasoning for hiring myself and my companion. However, I never stay in one place for more than a day or so.

What be your anticipations of this... interesting outcome?

I have killed before. I. Am prepared, that is all…

i just wish the best for my comrades….
