- Unlike the past two months, there are no new arrivals this month - a fact that confuses but relieves those within the Coven, and might do the same for the rest of those who have arrived on Aefenglom's doorsteps. Of course, given the red skies during Litha and the unsettling dream shared by all at the peak of it, this might be a cause for alarm as well. The venture into a cave deep within the Wilde also served as a grim reminder that even the safest-looking of places require extreme caution to traverse. However, given the cave lays directly overhead the part of a leyline, the Coven is hopeful that they'll be able to use this to their advantage in gaining a serious foothold in the Wilde itself. Outside of that, new arrivals (now being affectionately referred to as the mirrorbound by Miss Nerissa Bell) have been integrating themselves into the city in their own way - taking up work requests, diving right in to help, investigating areas and sometimes even poking their nose into businesses that isn't theirs.
The city is on tenterhooks wondering how things will pan out for this month, and we're certain you are too - so let's jump right in to explain those event logs listed on the calendar!
EVENT LOG: WINTER WONDERLAND
A group of Witches have decided to continue what they call their "annual tradition" of causing a little winter havoc in the city - though "annual" only applies for when things get really hot. They also didn't mean for it to last as long as it's going to: the whole of Juril, with some potential bleed over into next month. While the cold weather will at least significantly cool down Aefenglom entirely, the actual winter part will only affect the following areas - minus the river flowing through the city:
- • The Coven, which will have a break in classes for the first week of snow and then resume as usual afterwards. Watch out for magic heat-seeking snowballs, everyone! Enchanted snowmen, castle-like snow forts, and some fun, harmless pranks are just a few of the things the Witches studying and living in the Coven have to offer while the winter weather is around.
• The Eastern Residential District, which will have snow fun in a similar fashion to the Coven... except with significant less magic involved. Good ol' fashioned snow fights, sculpture competitions, and people selling and sharing hot chocolate, soup, and other war, hearty foods can be found here, not to mention groups relaxing by the fire for a little warmth.
• The Western Residential District, which is - for once - a little better off than its Eastern counterpart. Due to the amount of reptiles in the area, Witches will be setting up proper hot stones and spots for those seeking more temperate weather within this district; nagas and chimeras with reptile in them are common sights in these places. Those living here are a little more cuddly that usual as well, and rather than hot chocolate and soups populating the streets, spicy foods are the meal du jour.
• The Aristocratic District, the veritable epicenter of the spell, will have the worst of it! Ice and snow coat the area, with some walls of the latter being as high as seven feet once it's been pushed to the side, opening opportunities for skating, sledding, making igloos, and a lot of complaining, should that be your style. The Haven is included in this, although given it's more on the outer edge of the Aristocratic District, it's gotten more of the Coven and Residential District treatment: a good bit of snow, but nothing severe.
However, the Harbor District will also be getting a few ice spots from intrepid youths looking to engage in ice fishing without suffering the risk of being carried off by the river. More information on exact activities will be on the event post, set to go up on July 5th, but know that there's no stopping the summer fun this month.
EVENT LOG: A SUMMONS
Meanwhile, shortly before the 19th, talk of a meeting will begin; on the 19th proper, such a thing will be held in the Parliament, given it has the space to accommodate a great number of people. Miss Nessie will be generally presiding over the gathering, with the leaders of Parliament behind her. This is, essentially, a forum for information exchange - to get everyone on the same page, to share new findings or queries, and so on. Some follow-up regarding happenings in the past few months as well will be shared by Miss Nessie, so keep an eye out! Participation is not mandatory, but Miss Nessie will ask that all mirrorbound who are able to attend do so. Anyone who cannot will receive a summary regarding the information a few days afterwards.
There will not be a specific subheader for interacting with the NPCs this go around, but they may weigh in on topics like anyone else should they have need to!

Mikah | Alex Benedetto | Gangsta.
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: GMT-7
Character Name: Alex Benedetto
Canon: Gangsta.
Appearance: Here is her Character sheet with a little extra in her bio. She currently has gills on either side of her neck, and her ears are now goldish-yellow colored fins. Her ears are smaller and her gills are closed on dry land though.
Her transformation info can also be found here.
Brief: Ex-prostitute turned secretary for a jack-of-all-trades duo and club singer for the mafia. She's a big sis trying to be worthy of that title again and just over all trying to be a better person. She starts off very skittish and wary, but once she warms up to you, she can get pretty attached and stubborn about it too.
Her background does include a lot of abuse, drugs, and forced prostitution so if you’d rather avoid those topics or opt out of CR let me know! They are not likely to come up right away but you never know where things go with rp.
Choice: Merrow
Event Plans:
No major event plans yet. Hunting for warmer clothes with the sudden drop in temp for sure. Snowball fights and hot cocoa would be fun though!
General Plans:
Transformation- Alex’s eyesight will start to get worse, so you may see her squinting quite a bit. She will also be getting webbing between her fingers. Some darker markings will be scattered across her neck, shoulders, and collar bone.
Behavior-wise she’s going to be a bit more daring as well, more curious about things that may be considered dangerous (and that she’d normally not go for).
Alex isn't bonded so she may try to stave off some of the effects by appeasing the less..bothersome changes, such as hanging out in the river a few times when she really needs to since it's cold and all. This might also be a good chance for her to discover/figure out those minor water powers merrow get. She's also not so sneakily stealing Nicolas's sign language book to study/practice on her own, so you may catch her doing that as well. She has been spreading out her medication to make it last longer (she'll find out eventually she can find an alternative or something similar here but she also feels ashamed to go see a doctor about it which would include disclosing why she needs it), so you may also see her hanging out and about at night when she can't sleep or zoning out every now and then.
Quests/Jobs- She’ll be working at Hair and There, doing Out of City jobs helping with medical aid and donations, and going on the Lucky Ingredients Quest. She doesn’t have much medical knowledge so if there’s anyone she can learn from she’ll definitely approach them. For quests she’ll be doing the Ink one for sure (gonna make her some squid ink pasta!!), but I’m open to doing any of the others too.
no subject
They should do something. Maria threatening the Monsters (...again) notwithstanding. She isn't on the ingredients quest, but she's already doing bodyguard work out in the Wilde.
no subject
I would love for them to do something again! Maybe she can help Alex not accidentally fall into a hole or maybe lean against a monster that she thinks is a rock because her eyes are at 240-244p quality. Or maybe Alex is helping out with the food donation and stuff and brings Maria something to eat? Although I guess they wouldn't be doing all that much in that scenario :|a
Or mistakes Maria for a stranger and just kinda goes off like "Oh, you kind of look like someone I know. She's kind of intimidating but she's helped me out a lot..even if I think she doesn't like me very much."
no subject
Saving her from clumsiness sounds good! Heck, if you wanna add in the mistaken identity until Maria's just like "uh", that works, too!

As for ideas. Justine is helping with donations also and enchanted bandages for medical stuff. If you want to do that or... whatever you're feeling. Justine is a witch (for reference)
no subject
Oh enchanted bandages sound real cool! She wouldn't mind seeing how that works. I'm kinda still debating an open log or a top level for the event, but if you pop up there i'll check it out!
no subject
I don't know if I am top leveling yet since I'm still a bit behind lol. But we can figure something out for her. The bandages are cool because everyone can use them, they just need to activate the magic that she already put in them.
