OOC: Moving forward with the plot!

To move forward, we thought it would be much easier and more peaceful to do long/prose RP here, and continue casual RP on tumblr. Since we were all too busy and tumblr was far too disorganized to handle it, I figured we could just dive in here with the Dark Elves plot that we intended to start over Christmas. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a lower stress environment than the tumblr RP, and is way more flexible in terms of starting your own threads, jumping into threads in-progress or bowing out as time requires.
The plot got semi-started in this thread, but that's as far as we got - essentially we can start with a clean slate, baddies attacking and Avengers responding.
For a refresher, from Lyn and Avali's posts:
You may have your characters notice worsening weather conditions, globally, in the days leading up to Christmas!
As this involves the dark denizens of Svartalfheim, those of you involved in the holiday…erh…festivities, in addition to the icy chill of winter, can also feel free to come across bands of Dark Elves. Keep in mind they are hostile to all non-dark elfy bros and ladies, and will act on those feelings.
Some things to keep in mind about the Dark Elves:
They have the same sort of classes you’d expect from any fantasy drowish creature: spellcasters, swordsmen/ladies, rogues, etc.
They are almost completely invisible/undetectable when hiding in shadows. However, if your character has the ability to see in pure darkness, they will probably be able to spot them with a bit of effort.
These elfingtons will be around until Malekith is confronted and after.
They will skitter around alone, or in packs of up to five, though those packs can also be near each other, and alerted should a fight break out.
Do whatever you want. This is a plot for fun and freedom. If you want to have them attack a random person and swoop in for a rescue, do it. If you want them to sneak in and steal important weapons or items, go for it. If you want to fight a whole group on your own and howl in victory while bathed in the blood of the fallen, more power to you.
OOC: Organization

TAGGING:
You can get the gist of it via the tags list! Most importantly:
1. Tag all characters featured/active in the thread (character: [name]) - don't forget the space after the colon.
2. Tag the event that your thread is related to. This will be an easy way to keep minor threads within the same big picture plots organized. If you're starting your own thread that you'd like independent of current happenings (chronologically or otherwise), feel free to give it a unique event name! (event: [name])
If you start a thread, tag it either "status: public" or "status: private" - public meaning others can jump in, private meaning it's a private thread that you and another player (or players) have pre-arranged. When threads are finished, you can switch the tags to "status: closed".
GENERAL:
And, in case it needs to be said: you're in no way limited to posts only related to current events going on. If you get an idea for something else you'd like to explore or have a scene you really want to hash out between characters, feel free!
You'll also notice that there are several tumblr prose logs that aren't here yet - I just stuck to the big impact ones, but obviously the cute/private/side logs are also welcome here! Feel free to compile and post any logs you'd like to, just be sure to put them behind cuts and tag appropriately for easy browsing.
