- 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!

Timezone: Where are you in the world?
Character Name: Name & username!
Canon: Exactly as it says.
Appearance: Link an image or describe your character; if there's anything notable about them at first meeting, like maybe some new transformy bits here, put it here!
Brief: A few words to sum up your character, a couple of lines to tell what they're about, whatever you'd like. If you have an info post all ready to go, feel free to link it in addition to your summary!

Jamie | Zelda | Witch
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: EST
Character Name: Zelda
Canon: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Appearance: whoop
Brief: Sad princess who tried to stop an Evil Dude from taking over her country, ended up making everything worse. Became a ninja bard to cope. Accidentally a whole timeline after everything was said and done, whoops.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans:
Winter Wonderland: Zelda exists within a semi permanent 'no fun allowed' bubble so she won't be going out of her way to enjoy the snow unless someone drags her into it. She'll be grumpy that Coven classes are cancelled more than anything, but she can be persuaded to channel that grumpiness into creative pranks against the right targets, especially as I plan on having her start to feel the effects of magical build-up this month.
A Summons: Zelda will definitely be there. Whether she's an active participant or more of a listener will likely depend entirely on my schedule that week, herp.
General Plans:
-As previously noted, Zelda's prooobably gonna start showing symptoms of Potentially Exploding in the Near Future, though she may have a Bond lined up towards the end of the month to stave that off. If any monsters that need a heat source in the cold want to grab her for heat sharing hugs (and in doing so also act as a temporary magic heat sink), she can easily be guilted into it despite her awkwardness with physical contact.
-AURORA MUSICALIS HAS ZELDA'S NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT, but she wouldn't sign herself up for it. Please someone give me an excuse to do it anyway.

Given Ritsu's mischief/pranky Puca stuff is going to be coming in the day the snow starts (haha, what luck), he could drag her into it (or do his best to)... He's also participating in Aurora Musicalis, so maybe we could find a way to have them chat about it :3c
no subject
Please... drag her to Aurora Musicalis. Maybe he catches her staring at the listing for a bit too long before walking away or something (and it's notable because she lives with his... brother??? what is enstars i still don't know). Magic music is the backbone of LoZ I can't not do this--
But also I have a top level for the event here if any of those prompts interest you! Ritsu can throw a snowball at her in any one of them, idc.
no subject
But hey, that means Soren is a monster, and a potential outlet for some of that magic buildup. Not only is he a monster, but a COLD, SHIVERING REPTILE... who could really use a hug! BUT THERE'S ONE WRENCH IN THIS PLAN!
Neither of them are keen on receiving hugs from strangers. Especially when he's cranky and turning into a dragon. DARN!!
...Either way, um, I would like for these two to meet somehow! I'm not sure how much chemistry they might have, but I do believe they would at least get along, even if Soren is rather reserved about letting people get close to him. They'd probably be good conversation partners, quest partners, study partners... anything that involves curious and intelligent minds investigating the various topics plaguing this new world they find themselves stuck in.
no subject
But yes! I can definitely see them getting along in their nerdy, holding-people-at-arm's-length sort of way. Maybe eventually venturing into "i hate that i'm having this problem but i can trust you to at least be Serious about dealing with it" territory. /crosses fingers, please learn to trust people you dumb kids
Anyway! I've got a top level here at the event now if any of those prompts strike your fancy! If not, you're free to hit me up with a wildcard, or I can look out for Soren if you're planning on top leveling him there. In any case /makes grabby hands for dragon boy
no subject
I think the scarf one might help with the... "how do we get them to want to share body warmth" conundrum. How convenient of it! I think I will hit that one up. I made my own top level, of course, over here, so unless one of them strikes your fancy, I think I will head on over to that one.
