cr & plotting: june
- New arrivals came from the mirrors of the Looking-Glass House; the head of the Coven, Miss Nerissa Bell, and her Bonded and the Coven's ambassador to Parliament, Mhairi Ainsley, met with them and answered what they could. Afterwards, all those who had come through the mirrors were allowed to stay with the Coven while Nessie and Mhairi set out to find a more permanent living space for everyone. A deal was struck with Parliament, and after much cleaning up, evacuating, and subduing tempers, the new arrivals were moved to the Haven - though they were, of course, given the option of staying elsewhere should they have the funds and means to do so. They also opened up a line of communication, free for anyone to use. While some characters began to investigate their new surroundings, over all, the month wound down without much more fanfare as everyone began to settle in, and as the Coven wondered if yet another batch of world travelers would show up...
And so they did, just a few days ago, though Nessie - having suspected this might occur - was ready to receive them. Once more, her and Mhairi answered questions, and those newly arrived were offered the opportunity to be tested for magic potential. Classes began for those who were Witch and those who were Monster, though both were open to anyone - new or old - to attend, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.
EVENT PART ONE: THE FULL MOON AND LITHA
- As some of you might have noticed, our first event log lands officially on June 17th - the same day as the full moon. It isn't going to be the majority of the log though; it was more or less chosen for timing reasons, but that doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything. Starting on the 17th, the skies that have slowly grown more pink over the course of the month will grow an even deeper red, causing even more of a fuss in the city - particularly the Harbor District, where people are hard at work making sure to be ready to start their new voyages. Still, this uneasy unrest won't disrupt the festivities, though there are murmurings that this never happened before new people started showing up out of nowhere...
For Litha itself, the festival itself is a three day affair starting on the summer solstice on June 21st at dusk, and lasting until the dusk of June 23rd. It celebrates bonds and relationships of the closer kind, with brothels opening their doors for free to those who want or need a little company. Drinks spiced with love and lovemaking potions are passed around with a wink and a smile, helping along intimacy and relationship building... though it's just as easy to find people selling drinks that don't have anything added to them.
In addition to that, Litha has a number of interesting traditions anyone can take part in - from making flower crowns for that special someone, to traveling through garden hedge mazes with a partner selected for you at random, not unlike a blind date. There are a few rumors about the festival as well, such as surefire ways to find your future spouse by looking into a well at night, and that by collecting the flowers handed off by the seven biggest flowershops in Aefenglom and placing them beneath your pillow before you sleep, you'll dream of future partners... though Rose Bush, a smaller up-and-coming shop, seems to be keen on making its name known one way or another. Mind your fingers! Finally, ships from the harbor are in constant motion, each voyage out signaled by cheers, fireworks, and an amount of enthusiasm so great it's obvious that it's more of a force of will than it is genuine - why not go see one off?
The festivities over all have a restless air about them though, like everyone is waiting for something to happen - and they wouldn't exactly be wrong.
- At the peak of Litha on June 22nd, the dawn breaks into deeper red. Even as the day moves on, the reddishness doesn't quite fade, turning blue and grey skies to something a touch more violet and pale pink instead - and finally, at sunset, the sky looks as if it has a deep gash within it, the color so deep it feels as if the sky itself is bleeding. Sleep isn't easy to come by, though as the clock strikes three in the morning, all still awake suddenly drop into a deep slumber.
It might feel familiar to those who've come through the mirrors before - as if you're floating, things hard to discern except from the corner of your eye. As you settle in the familiar sensation, you realize you aren't alone -
because the rest of the city's population has come with you, too.
More information will be on the post itself, so hang tight! Don't worry about this interfering with any plans you might've had for the last part of the month either; characters will wake up in the late morning of the 23rd, not feeling refreshed at all, and the festivities of Litha will wind down in silence.

Rune | Dylas | Rune Factory
Player Name: Rune
Pronouns: He/him
Contact:
Timezone: PST
Character Name: Dylas
Canon: Rune Factory
Appearance: Here, in a face he'll never make.
Brief: Dylas is a grumpy man with amnesia from what we like to call 'Fantasy Harvest Moon.' He loves fishing, small town life, and the feeling he gets when he punts a dwarf into a lake. He really loves fishing. Also, he used to be a unicorn, like, for real. Here's his app and information post if you want to know more!
Choice: Dylas is a faun! One of two, right now, I think.
Event Plans: The big one is that Dylas is going to get his horns during the full moon, and he'll start looking more like a bull-type faun/semi-minotaur thing officially! Since he doesn't have a bond, this is going to bring in a bout of aggression that he's absolutely never experienced before, so watch out CR, he might need a hand with this. Did you know aggressive bulls like to impale people on their horns? Haha. Fun. Once he's recovered, everything else looks great, too. I'm down for all sorts of randomized or forced pairings, or flower crown, or whatever. It sounds fun.
General Plans: Right now, I need to take a look at the quests, so if anyone is interested in questing with him this month, now’s a good time to hit me up. He’s also going to be recovering from his Cwyld infection as mentioned in his post (feel free to tag in still if you want!). Other than that, he’s living with Konoe in a house, so roommates are always possible if you want to live with a horse-turning-bull and a cat. And lastly, Dylas has no bond plans, so uh. He’s going to need some eventually.

I would love to get more CR with Dylas for sure! I'm all for Newt interacting with him while he's more aggressive because I am all for this. I am also for doing any of the event stuff. I feel like them in the hedge maze might be funny too, especially if the other might be more on the aggressive side.
I have Newt signed up for a bunch of quests too if you would like to do a quest together.
no subject
I think Dylas is already doing the hedge maze like three times now, BUT if you want to see Dylas growing horns and some of his new bull traits kicking in, you're more than welcome! Or if there's a quest you've got in mind, I'd be happy to try that?
no subject
I'm super interested in Dylas' monster traits kicking in! We can possibly do something with that or we can see what part 2 of the event has in store. At the very least, I'm also fine with seeing what July has in store to perhaps plan something then!
