hey everyone !! we hope you're all doing well. this is our second interest check since changing our activity rules on march 25th

activity is currently extremely low, and in order to accurately gauge who's still going to be around and where we move going forward, this interest check will have additional requirements. that being said, if you are still interested in being here and writing with us please drop a LIKE on this post or a react to the message on the discord, so we know you’re still hanging around. HOWEVER, if you still haven't posted since march 25th, which is approximately 8 weeks ago, we require you to post a reply or starter to avoid character hoarding just for the sake of it. while we are pretty flexible with levels of activity, if you want to stick around we’d like to at least see some activity. ( *** alternatively reach out to an admin if you can’t manage this and we’ll accommodate you as long as there is open communication ) we’ll give you about 72 hours to do so, past which we’ll drop you a little dm. past that, if we don’t hear back from you or you wish to drop your muses, we will be reopening those characters

FLORALIA.

" you start in april and cross to the time of may one has you as it leaves, one as it comes since the edges of these months are yours and defer to you, either of them suits your praises. the circus continues and the theatre's lauded palm, let this song, too, join the circus spectacle. ”  — ovid, fasti ( V.185-190 )

whereas most festivals were strictly for the elite, FLORALIA was for the enjoyment of the common folk. celebrated from april 28th to may 3rd, it was the time of year to let loose, forget your worries, and take a moment to appreciate the beauty nature has to offer as the center figure of the festival was flora, the roman goddess of flowers

traditionally, the floralia's most important aspect were its games. competitive events with big prizes, everyone wanted to participate. other features of note were the release of goats and rabbits, as well as various theatrical performances that ... may or may not have been performed naked. it was customary to wear colourful clothing to represent the frivolous nature of the festival and " sprightly flora's ritual fun and festal jests "

NEW YORK, MAY 2021.

much as the spirit of the floralia festival was one of lighthearted bliss, so too is the carnival associated with it much less intimidating than a fancy gala or an intimate blind date. you’re much more likely to run into children running around the maypole or a dad sneezing from the pollen than any snobby glitz or glam, and it offers the opportunity for relaxation without expectation. the pretty pastel pink envelope that’s slipped under your doorstep is hardly scary, either, simply extending an invitation to enjoy the spring air and blooming gardens in central park this coming weekend

for those favouring a faster paced way of life, the carnival perhaps might be lacking — boasting a petting zoo, picnic area, and extensive variety of blooming gardens just asking to be admired, it’s not the most exciting roster for some. and while there is large selection of outdoor games and booths to pick from, and an open air stage, the sugary sweet atmosphere doesn’t offer much in the way of chaotic revelry ( unless you’d like to show up naked and carry on the tradition, that is ) but, regardless of intensity, the carnival promises a fun time in the spring air and some cute goats, so what’s not to like ?

OOC.

the event will take place IC in the middle of traditional floralia celebrations, on SATURDAY, MAY 1ST 

OOC, the event will start on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28TH. in line with our relaxed activity rules, we’ll give you three weeks, until WEDNESDAY MAY 19TH for threads. of course, feel free to continue threads past this date, but make sure to refrain from posting any new starters 

as always, please attempt to plot with as many people as possible, and reply to the open starters posted in the tags so that nobody feels left out

hey everyone !! we hope everyone is doing well during this crazy busy season. as you all presumably know, we aren’t doing activity checks anymore, however, now that it’s been around a month since we changed over to our new rules we just wanted to check in and do a little survey of interest. 

SO, if you are still interested in being here and writing with us please drop a LIKE on this post so we know you’re still hanging around. ( alternatively, you can react to the message posted in the discord, whichever you prefer ) we’ll give you about 48 hours to do so, past which we’ll drop you a little dm if we notice you haven’t interacted to give you a chance if you just missed it on the dash. past that, if we don’t hear back from you or you wish to drop your muses, we will be reopening those characters.

so while chaos is referred to as a deity in some places, most sources identify it as... well, a big blob of shapeless nothingness, really. while we’re not entirely opposed to having chaos here in some form, we’re hesitant to say yes because of that exact reason: chaos is nothingness. so we wouldn’t go for a portrayal of chaos when there’s plenty of other deities out there with actual personalities and functions to choose from. ultimately it’s up to you, though !

yes, you can ! bring as many as you think you can handle. our previous rule was that you were allowed to bring three to start out with, so that would be my recommendation, but it’s up to you how many you want to start out with. however, please keep in mind our diversity rules if you do choose to bring multiple characters right away !

my lovely co-admin is asleep, so this is just my personal opinion ! but i would absolutely love to see either keiynan or bright around !

hi there !! so this is admittedly always a hard question to answer, because what people consider “ active ” is so relative. in simple terms, yes, there is activity on the dash and people are posting replies and i can attest to there being lots of plotting happening behind the scenes on discord and the like. people are definitely still planning things out for their muses and getting to writing when they can. main wise as well, we’re usually pretty good about getting to things within a few hours, we just aren’t actively posting on the main if it isn’t for necessary things.

HOWEVER, i do want to highlight that we do say in our guidelines that “ this is more of a slow, lowkey place to rp ”. we don’t have activity checks anymore and as such its more of a write when you can get to it kind of environment. many people are busy with uni exams and work right now and we of course don’t expect them to be available all the time. in the interest of transparency, it is what one could consider a slow moving dash and many of our writers currently can only get on maybe once a week or so — and that’s fine ! i always like to liken it to more of an indie kind of vibe, even though it is still within a closed group

so, i suppose what i’m trying to say is if you’re interested in a more chill less pressure active place we’d of course be totally happy to have you here, but if you’re asking this because you’re interested in a more “ traditional ” many many posts a day dash constantly updating type of place, maybe this isn’t the fit !
