Game-wide Plot: Harvest Feast
Parts 1 & 2 CLOSED:

The universe may have changed, but some things remain the same. By Asgardia's calendar, it's time for their annual Harvest Feast! Representatives from most of the Nine Realms have gathered to celebrate the turn of the season and to negotiate trade for the year ahead. Many are in attendance: The Vanir of Vanaheim have sent a large contingent, as are the Elves of Alfheim, Dwarves of Nidavellir, and two small groups of fire and frost Jotuns from Muspelheim and Jotunheim. Even some of the Norns of Nornheim are there, led by Queen Karnilla. Only a few realms are not invited, because they do not trade with Asgardia. Dark places such as Svartalfheim or Helheim, a region in the mists of Niflheim where the living dare not tread.

This year, Asgardia's Queen has decreed to other realms that Midgard will participate for the first time, and Thor has invited everyone in the Tower to attend as special guests.

(OOC: CLOSED! No new threads allowed, please wrap up existing threads if applicable. Thanks for participating! All plot info + seating chart can be found HERE!)

Part 1: The First Day

avengers__mod
2021-11-10 09:35 am UTC (link)

The great hall is a warm place, a vast room with golden walls, polished wooden tables, and carved marble pillars. The vast space is illuminated overhead by seidr candles, which never seem to burn down. The drinks are plentiful, and the food is in abundance. Delicacies from every realm are easily within reach. There are roasted meats, grainy bread, and fruits or cheeses from Vanaheim. Bowls are piled high with candies, and there are champagnes bottled from Alfheim's bubbly rivers. Asgardia's honeyed mead flows freely, and everyone sits at long tables in the spirit of sharing the assembled bounty.

There is talk of trade between factions and artisans, and it's plain to see that everyone is wearing attire according to the realm they hail from. There's no strict dress code. It's just as likely to see an Elf clad in a veiled dress and jeweled tiara as it is to see a warrior in furs and leather armor.

Despite the festive air, there is a vague undercurrent of tension between each faction, as if they have learned to grudgingly tolerate one another over time...but only barely. The only glue holding everything and everyone together seems to be the Asgardians.

For now, everyone is already deep in their cups, and the food from the palace kitchens is plentiful. It's one last celebration before the cold months of winter set in. Bards sing tales of summer hunts, and in between songs, the musicians play sweeping Asgardian waltzes as dancers take to the floor.

Sam wasn't sure if it would be more appropriate to wear a regular suit or his Captain America get up. When he arrived at the feast, he was glad that he'd opted to go with the regular suit. It was much tamer than the things a lot of guests were wearing, but he suspected that his superhero costume would have drawn a lot more attention than he wanted.

The palace was incredible and he was looking forward to spending some time exploring the publicly accessible areas while they were here. For the moment, he was sipping a drink and keeping a watchful eye on everything, making sure that none of his people cause any trouble.

Sam and Sharon

Even after getting some food into her, the Asgardian drink had done its job. Sharon was teetering somewhere between tipsy and drunk, and was very much enjoying the festivities. Actually, having food and water meant she could finish her flagon of meade, right? Keep the party rolling?

She wasn't sloppy, though. She was happy. A little off-balance, a little giggly, but nowhere near blackout drunk. Nowhere near worshipping the porcelain gods and wishing she could just die already.

Deciding it was time to connect with Sam Wilson, and wondering how much exactly he knew about the two of them and Bucky and what they'd been through, she headed in his direction to say hello.

"Sam Wilson, aren't you a sight for sore eyes," she said, smirking. (Maybe she should switch back to water.)

Tony walked over with a mug of ale in hand, giving Sam a salute with it. It was the mark of a seasoned pro that he didn't spill a drop. He was wearing a suit too. If he needed the armor, he could be armed and ready in a matter of seconds.

"Hey Cap part deux," he said, wanting to see what Sam thought about the whole feasting scene. He stood by Sam's side, looking at everyone drinking at the tables or dancing on the dance floor. "You keeping an eye on us or them?"

Kitty and Open [multiples ok]

Traveling to what was essentially another realm was kind of intimidating before Kitty saw the palace where they were staying. She wasn't used to anything this opulent and felt very much like the small town midwestern girl that she was. Hopefully, she wouldn't do anything to embarrass herself or their hosts.

She had gone shopping for the trip and was wearing one of the dresses that she bought for the event. Even though she looked like she fit in with the crowd, she still felt like an imposter and she glanced around, hoping she would spot someone she recognized.

Kitty & Illyana

2021-11-11 12:09 pm UTC (link)

Illyana wearing a color besides black, or swathing herself in anything beyond a sea of dark colors (maroon, gray, maybe some midnight sky shade very close to black) was as rare as a blue moon. But she decided to mix things up a little and go for something a little more emerald for this party, this feast. There seemed to be an abundance of food, so good thing she loved to eat - and drink. Being marry was okay too, she supposed.

It was her first time in Asgard and everything was so gold - it glinted, everywhere, layers and spirals to the buildings; the architecture was something she could study for awhile and not get bored. She had a goblet of honey mead in her hands and was wandering, though may take back her thought about getting bored since there was only so much food she could stuff herself with - also she may be a ruler herself, of Limbo, but she was not charming and didn't really care to impress anyone.

A shame no one from Hel was here. Now those people she would have gotten along with.

Spotting someone she vaguely knew, she glided up to Kitty in a swish of soft green fabric. "So much eating," she observed. "It is a wonder no one explodes." That might liven up the party, anyway.

Thor and Open [multiples welcome!]

thunderbringer
2021-11-11 10:03 pm UTC (link)

Thor was seen at his place at the head table, dancing with the Asgardian children, giving tours (though he's still new to Asgardia himself) and toasts, and otherwise being a gracious host to their guests from the other realms. All the while deferring to the expertise and leadership of their Queen. His spot beside her felt both natural, and an honor.

The meade was flowing freely, and Thor was taking part in the festivities to the fullest extent. It was highly entertaining to listen to the music, to tell stories with the others, to eat and drink the finest foods Asgardia had to offer. Of course, the Feast was also political, and Thor made sure that he was acting the part. He was a good Prince of Asgard, a loyal subject of his Queen.

That didn't mean he couldn't enjoy himself all the while.

Sharon and Open [multiples welcome!]

2021-11-11 10:08 pm UTC (link)

Sharon had been to many different places on Earth, and had seen the way that many different people lived. But all of her travels and all of her stays in different places didn't prepare her for the beauty of Asgardia. As she walked through the halls on her guided tour, she imagined that this must be what Mount Olympus looked like to the gods. It was beautiful, serene, everything in perfect order. A part of her wished she could stay here forever.

It was the first day of the feast. Sharon had been cleaning, packing, traveling, and video calling with her associates in Madripoor, so she hadn't had much to eat. When she was offered a stein of meade, she took it with a "thank you" and started in. It was very strong, though, and after a couple of minutes the room started to feel pretty warm.

Kate kind of couldn't believe this was her life right now. Going up to Asgardia to eat and drink for days and days with people from other realms? Elves and warriors and whatnot? She'd opted for a semi-formal, purple dress, and was glad of it. Jeans and a t-shirt just wouldn't cut it here. The place was so lush and so beautiful, and so far all of the Asgardians seemed super friendly.

Except. Kate could feel the tension. She'd lived in her father's house for long enough that she knew when there was an undercurrent of unhappiness, an unspoken complaint. It was strong here. Though she wasn't surprised that the Asgardians were the ones maintaining peace. They were wonderful.

She collected a glass of champagne from Alfheim, and sipped, unable to stop a giddy grin from spreading across her face. How was this her life, again?

Before arriving, Tony reconfigured his armor into something more Asgardian for fun and not because he was pulling any sort of cultural appropriation or anything. When in a society full of warriors, bring at least one outfit (armor counts!) to fit in.

One of the benefits of nanobots was being able to house an entire suit inside his body. For now, he wore a Tom Ford suit and tried not to poke a verbal stick at the edgelords from other planets.

He stood by one of their designated tables and toasted Val and Thor a few times, drinking at a reasonable pace. Not shitfaced, but nowhere near sober.

Stephen wasn't much of a partier anymore, given his line of work to protect this reality. However, he had a quick-sober spell under his belt, and Wong had assured him he would portal in if anything went wrong. It was a rare time off, and Stephen conjured a few mixed drinks for himself. Things that he knew that wouldn't conflict with the spell.

He stood off to one side, wearing his mystic's attire and keeping an eye on everything. The bottom edge of the red cape swayed along with the Asgardian waltz that was playing.

Loki & Open [multiples ok]

the_trickster
2021-11-13 12:01 pm UTC (link)

Feasts tended to end late into the evening and start again after midday. It was like a tournament of endurance. Loki spent most of the time at the high table, drinking and eating and chatting with passers-by or those sitting nearby.

He didn't want to drink so much that he did something foolish (which happened more times than he cared to admit) and so nursed his wine carefully. It was only the first day, and he was still keeping a watchful eye on things.

For a moment, he left the table for a walk around the great hall, trying to read the room from each vantage point.

Sylvie and Open

fugitivevariant
2021-11-14 05:10 am UTC (link)

Sylvie leaned on one of the pillars, watching the people with a wary eye. It wasn't that she was paranoid, but, she didn't know anyone, really and so she had no idea who was likely to frustrate a diplomat or not. She was in a dark green dress of the finest, lightest silk. The dark green shifted to gold based on how she moved, or what light hit her best. A green and gold belt wrapped her waist and a gold necklace held the dress in place at her throat. She paired it with dark green flats and likely more knives than any one person should hide beneath airy, light silk. Her blonde hair was loosely curled and left loose tonight.

No matter where she went, though, she always made sure she could see Loki, as if ensuring she wasn't too far away for too long. Long fingers plucked a glass of water off a tray and she took a drink, looking out over the rim.

Ned and Illyana

2021-11-15 12:59 am UTC (link)

Don't pull out your phone. Don't pull out your phone.

Ned was entirely out of his depth. Was he supposed to be here? Were they sure? He felt like the odd one out even if Peter, MJ, and Tandy were there. Thankfully he was set up with a suit and he was told he could wear his new fedora, too, but years of hat-etiquette in school meant that Ned was left feeling on edge the entire time. What if he got kicked out of this place?!

The food looked good, but despite telling the people who were serving the place that he was too young to drink, they just continued to bring him different types of alcohol. Did no one drink water here? What he would give for a Coke or Pepsi. The food, though, was good and he ate even if he continuously felt like he had crashed a wedding or something.

Peter & MJ

thespiderling
2021-11-17 06:02 am UTC (link)

Though Peter wasn't exactly a fan of the wider universe after his experiences with Thanos, Asgardia thankfully very much wasn't a deserted moon where everything ended with pain and dust. It was bright and golden, with seemingly endless tables of food and drink. He'd been a little worried he'd be under-dressed in a hand me down suit of his uncle's, but it didn't matter - there was so much variation in the guests that no one really stood out.

Well, except MJ for Peter, but she'd stand out for him always no matter where they went. From where he sat next to her at the table for the earthlings, Peter reached to squeeze her hand. "So," he said, glad that he could experience going somewhere like this with her. "What do you think of space?"

If you had told Tandy a year ago that she'd be on another planet - or realm or whatever this was supposed to be - eating around aliens and creatures out of a Tolkien book and the Avengers....she would've looked at you like you were insane.

She hadn't really been sure about the dress code or anything, and had decided to just wear a nice dress that she hoped was appropriate and that she now had to be careful not to spill anything on. Thankfully, she'd gotten through most of the meal without incident and was now taking a break and sipping from a glass of something that was sweet and maybe alcoholic from how dreamy she felt, but didn't have a name for. Keeping mostly out of the way of anyone who looked too dangerous or threatening, she wandered through the crowd studying everyone else and doing her best to remain inconspicuous...and also try not to fall back into her old pick pocketing habits.

Raven & Open

fullofmystique
2021-11-17 08:51 pm UTC (link)

The nice thing about being able to shapeshift was that dressing for an Asgardian feast wasn't that difficult. She had started with something fancy and sparkly, but within the first half hour she'd subtly made changes based on what she saw others wear until it was now unrecognizable as the same dress she'd first had, and resembled something not too far off from some of the royals there - albeit in more jewel tone colors than what most of them seemed to have worn. She'd also decided to step out of her comfort zone and bore quite a bit of skin - having attended in her blue mutant form, though her red hair was styled and curled around a tiara in her hair.

Go big or go home, right? Besides, she was trying to be more comfortable with this form and what better way than to attend a party full of strangers from other worlds?

At the moment, she sat near the end of the table, sipping a glass of champagne as her golden eyes studied a platter of meat across from her, and set her glass down as someone sat beside her. Without looking over, she pointed a finger at the platter. "Do you have any idea what that is?"

Part 2: The Fourth Day (see ooc!)

avengers__mod
2021-11-21 02:35 am UTC (link)

Four days had passed, during which the feast continued alongside sparring matches and feats of strength in the training yards. In the evening, the guests moved into the great hall to take their places at the tables. In that time, many realms reaffirmed their friendship and consolidated their diplomatic ties.

As the revelry continues, a commotion draws everyone's attention. One of the Vanir dropped a chalice with a clatter, clawing at their throat while turning an ashen gray. As they tumbled from the bench to the ground, healers rushed to offer aid, and others stopped and stared.

"Poison!" cried out the Lord of the Vanir. "Who dares kill my kinsman!"

As if stepping out of thin air, five lithe forms emerged. They were clad in dark armor and white masks with hollow black eyes. Dark Elf assassins of Svartalfheim, who had waited five hundred years for the opportunity for revenge.

"Malekith bids you the goodest of nights, and tidings of a war renewed!" shouted the leader, throwing what looked like a grenade into the air. It implodes before hitting the ground, creating a small black hole that devours the nearby Asgardian dancers.

There is mayhem as the guards try to protect the guests. However, the Svartálfar are agile and quick on their feet, bending like reeds away from blades and spears alike. They blast at several guards with energy weapons, and those that get too close are fended off with gleaming blades. Many spells bounce off them harmlessly, but any physical blows and energy blasts seem to do some harm. This immortal race was born in the primordial chaos before light existed and could withstand wielding an Infinity Stone. But these assassins have stones of another kind on them: Kursed stones. A couple assassins break these rocks with their clenched fists, cinders infusing and consuming their bodies. They grow in power and stature as they roar in agony.

The Frost Giants of Jotunheim and the fiery folk of Muspelheim watch the proceedings from their tables with interest. They itch to take part, but they are not unwise either. With interest, they watch to see what defenses and powers Asgardia and her allies possess.

Valkyrie and open

thequeenregent
2021-11-21 03:37 am UTC (link)

Valkyrie barely had time to react when the cry of poison went up. She was up and moving in seconds, grabbing her axe before being pulled back by guards.

She growled in anger as the guards jumped into action and dragged her off towards the hallway. She let them do their jobs even though she argued the entire way. The guard got her down the hallway, halfway to Royal Chambers.

A sound made her jump sideways.

A guard that had been escorting her fell to the floor as a dark elf danced by, blood pooling from a knife in the gut. She stepped back and swung. The elf moved easily out of her way. It took her a few minutes of fighting to slice her way through her foe. She wasn't uninjured, but she wasn't really hurt bad, just bleeding from cuts and slices. She stood over the Dark Elf, looking down at him with a frown.

She took a deep breath and whirled around to face the footsteps coming down the hall, axe lifted as she looked to see if she had anyone else to take out.

the_trickster
2021-11-21 03:53 am UTC (link)

Loki had been sitting at the high table when the attack happened. He stood up as the Queen was escorted out, drawing forth two of the many daggers from his magical pocket space, and throwing one of them at one of the assassins. A magical push propelled it forward, but the assassin twisted aside at the last moment, and it barely cut into the space between the armor plating. They weren't even slowed down, and he had to duck down as an energy blast left a hole in the wall where his head would have been.

He hissed out a curse and leapt over the table, throwing up mirrored illusions, so unarmed party goers could escape through the huge doors of the hall.

Mobius & Sharon

jetskiing
2021-11-21 12:35 pm UTC (link)

What. The. Hell. (Or Hel? Helheim? Insert wherever location here).

Honestly, Mobius knew that things were going too well - why have a ten-day feast and then not encounter an assassination? Especially when there was so much tension to begin with; it just hung in the air.

He didn't have his baton on him, unfortunately, but he did have a TemPad. And an iron fire poker he'd snatched from the din and cacophony of the feast - which he was prepared to use as a weapon even though, honestly, he wasn't much of a match for energy-wielding elves with a crap ton of bones to pick. The TemPad was what he focused on though, plugging in a few coordinates and opening a Timedoor out (just beyond the dining hall, away from the calamity) - the familiar whoosh of that door shimmering into existence was actually a comfort; he'd ensure others got through, but he was going to stick with Sharon.

"So this is fun," he started, clutching the fire poker in a white-knuckled grip. "I was hoping that some mortal peril would add a dash of spice to the endless eating and drinking." God. It was like either being in an episode of Game of Thrones or a Shakespeare play - was someone going to emerge from behind the drapes next? "I can open another Timedoor to get us out, but - I wasn't sure if you wanted to help or not. I'll follow your lead."

Sharon was Going Through a lot, in terms of shifting priorities and her changes with her role in Madripoor - he was here to be supportive, if she wanted to dip her toes back into HEROICS. Or if she didn't want to.

Holy shit. Kate was mid-sip when things went crazy, the wine turning into ash in her mouth. She nearly spit it out when she heard the word "poison!" ring out in the hall. And then suddenly there was screaming and things crashing, and a table got flipped? Somehow? She counted four... no five of those crazy, monster things running around the room and attacking people.

Some of the Asgardian guests fell. A couple others. There was a black hole that sucked people in? Kate was far too close to that, and the power of it knocked her off her feet. The wine goblet she'd been holding fell to the floor with a clatter, and Kate had to grab onto a nearby bench to keep from being sucked into the black, nothingness of whatever that black hole was. (Grenade black hole? Kate thought Wade would love something like that. ...weird thing to think about when her life was in immediate danger.)

When things went pear-shaped, like many, Pete nearly choked on a mouthful of ale. He stood up and threw up a heat shield when a Dark Elf blasted in their direction, and while it didn't stop the blast all the way, the heat dissipated some of it.

He looked over at Kitty, who had been sitting nearby, and said, "Party's over, luv. It's bad elves versus good elves and godlike aliens, so we best book it. Maybe help whoever we can and head for the doors."

Yelena + Open

2021-11-23 10:42 pm UTC (link)

Now this was a party.

Sure, Yelena had been enjoying the past few days of wining and dining with people from other worlds, but she'd felt a little out of place in general, though she'd just resorted to being herself for the most part: the occasional sassy or snarky comment, but no actual insults towards anyone.

When the shouting started and a freaking black hole appeared out of nowhere, Yelena jumped up from her seat and reached under her dress to grab the shock batons she had strapped to her thighs - a common habit for her when she wanted to be armed without showing off.

As she saw someone get sucked into the black hole, Yelena shook her head and turned towards the attackers. "That did not look like a cool way to die," she muttered before moving forward to attack the closest assassin who was now much taller and somehow covered in fire.

"Lava monsters. Who would've thought it?"

The moment before the first cry came, Wanda's head rose abruptly and she scanned the room, because something felt wrong. It was after this that the Vanir Lord cried out, and moments later the five assassins arrived.

"Boys - home, now." She murmured to Billy and Tommy before using her powers to open up a portal and send the two of them back to the tower and to safety. Once it was closed, Wanda turned towards the black hole itself, trusting all of the other fighters and Avengers present to handle the attackers. Her clothes shifted, changing into her Scarlet Witch garb which may have been a surprise to some of those present, since she didn't exactly advertise her current status. Red light appeared in her hands as she lifted them, then sent a stream of energy towards the black hole in an effort to keep it contained and prevent it from sucking in anyone else, possibly even close it if she could.
