#hwminievent5

[hiddenwashington]

time goes by quickly, & before you know it, april is here. the snow has given way to the spring warmth, the birds already singing outside windows & the squirrels already scurrying across the trees. the days beckon dc’s citizens to venture outside of their cozy, winter-proof homes, inviting to even some of the most unimpressed of people after a long, cold season. things have seemed almost ... perfect, for most, these past couple weeks. however, the first of the month also brings the notorious april fools, & the city must think it’s about time to play its tricks. so when morning comes, it’s not the the beautiful, spring sunrise that brings people to consciousness, but instead, it’s the loud, vibrating stomps of dinosaurs roaming the streets. huh.

OOC INFORMATION

hello, hi, welcome friends !! happy april fools !! some of you have been begging for dinosaurs, & despite the stubbornness from a few of us ( myself included ), we are good admins, so we are here to deliver! this isn’t a very plot-heavy event in the slightest, but it’s meant to be a quick fun thing to celebrate a particularly silly little day. so just ride with the flow, go wild, & do with this as you will! ♥

DATES :

APRIL 1 - APRIL 3

unlike our other events, there is no plotting period – this event starts IMMEDIATELY.

this event will last for 12 hours in character, 2 days out of character!

THE DINO-SHAPED FRIENDS :

the magic has brought dinosaurs to the streets of washington dc! however, even the most aggressive types are content to mind their own business unless provoked, a rare treat from the city. most would still snap if people were to get a little too close, but as long as one were to keep their distance, it wouldn’t be unexpected for the dinosaurs & humans to live together in harmony, for just this one day.

then again, humans aren’t exactly known for their common sense & self control. so.

any dinosaurs you can think of ( + your pterosaurs because they might as well be dinosaurs ) can be found in dc for this day of fun! this might include, but is certainly not limited to the :

t-rex, pterodactyl, spinosaurus, brontosaurus, diplodocus, triceratops, chicken, velocoraptor, stegosaurus, & brachiosaurus!

QUICK HOUSEKEEPING :

please be sure to TAG ALL MINIEVENT THREADS as something similar to ‘hwminievent5′, ‘hw dinopocolypse’, ‘mini event’, ‘my dinosaur adventure’, something that makes it clear that these threads are taking place during the event!

please, please, please tag all triggers. if a thread feels like it is getting too intense, remember to use a read more. we will be monitoring threads and messaging about triggers. A REFRESHER FOR THOSE IS RIGHT HERE

this is supposed to be a fairly chill event, so if you plan on using this event to kill off or majorly injure your character, please DO message the main first as per our usual rules!!

we will be offering ONE FREE STARTER FOR EACH WRITER, not each character, just as we always do!! that is only for saturday the 1st!

unlike our full events, you DO NOT have to put other threads on hold! this is another minievent so it is not mandatory for anyone to participate in, so you’re more than welcome to continue on as normal!

again, just have fun & go wild! please feel welcome to get creative with this & and we hope this means you stop askin– i mean, that your characters like this once-in-a-lifetime chance to live with friendly-ish dinosaurs! we can’t wait to see what you all do with this! please do not hesitate to ask any questions that may arise & let us know if you need help! with that all said, as always, PLEASE LIKE THIS WHEN YOU HAVE READ IT ALL! ♥

“Ginny, this place is absolutely lovely!” Luna exclaims with great excitement, “Are there usually dinosaurs everywhere?”

Yes, Mu Qing would have bit their heads off, both of them, if either had tried to refuse what he'd given them to wear. Not that Xie Lian had minded the help; he'd appreciated it greatly, though the attire has been causing him more stress than he thinks clothes are intended to carry, usually. "I'm not meant to wrinkle anything, or sit down, because if I ruin this outfit, it will be an embarrassment to him," Xie Lian recites dutifully, before adding, "--though I don't think anyone would notice? I did sit down for a few minutes earlier, I think it still looks fine. Have you seen the ocean hall yet? They decorated it really well for the holiday, considering that fish are not the most romantic of atmospheres."

"of course he did. i think he'd have just knocked me out until this was over if he had to watch me dress myself." if it were up to him, he would have found a suit at some department store the day before the event and just dealt with whatever parts weren't perfectly fitted. "oh, yeah, once he got started, i wasn't going to stop him, are you joking? i'm not that stupid, the man would've bit our heads off if we tried to tell him we didn't need help." he replies with a laugh. "yeah i've been here once or twice, but it looks nice. and you do look good."

as the sun disappears behind the horizon, the dinosaurs begin to vanish along with it. the new friends that have graced the streets of dc on this fine april fools are no more. whether the people of the city are feeling relieved or sad or something in between, this was a day that will remain written in history – a day to be looked back upon by all who remember it – as short-lived as it sadly was. may the dinos rest in peace once more. 

so with that comes the end to hidden’s semi-organized holiday chaos, so back to your regularly programmed schedule you go!! please DO NOT POST ANY NEW CONVERSATIONS regarding the mini event!! that being said however, you MAY CONTINUE EVENT THREADS – transition them, wrap them up, drop them ... it’s up to you!! but really quick, we want to say thank you for sticking with us through our ridiculous little event, we hope you enjoyed it & had a rawr-some time!! 

please give this a like once you’ve read it entirely, thank you!!
