- 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!

doganiki, he'll be always LANCER at heart. A tease, a flirt, a douche, generally has his heart in the right place, but he's pretty cold and ferocious when it comes to business (and since Servants are murder machines...). Easily amused, easily bored.Choice: Witch
Event Plans: I've been on hiatus in June, so I wanna do event stuff this time!!! So WHO WANTS A SERIOUS SNOWBALL FIGHT
General Plans: he's getting kinda grumpy because of the whole unbonded thing, so that can prove fun for some petty fights/arguments, but hey, that means magic shenanigans. He's been looking into local folk stories and doing research on runes, and I plan to make a post about! (because hey the language, the runes, stuf that is kind of way too familiar, and since he's used to ALTERNATIVE TIMELINES THAT WENT SOMEWHERE WEIRD...). I'm also up for QUESTS definitely quests.

So far they scarily work similarly to the ones he knows, and he would share that information with someone interested in the same thing
no subject
Ooooh, interesting! Symon will be definitely interested and will want his opinion on it since magic really isn't his bag at all, haha
no subject
At least I got caught up with what happened on that cave in the meantime. And Caster is going to set sail for runic tattoos so it just gives all the more topics for when they meet. This month event log is going to be a discussion-and-info-sharing-based one, from my understanding so I can be on a lookout to hit you there!

that sounds great! can't wait c:

there are temporary bonding potions and other things Arthur! Alchemy, saving lives.... That's how you get to live a life of going onto dangerous quests while staying independent
(Caster is stupid enough to go this route with the dangerous quest, besides, who needs complicated healing spells, when you can just turn your pain receptors away?)
no subject
But QUESTS....
I need to sign Caren up for some but
maybe they could do the infected camp, meet up there maybe? HMM
no subject
can dis be forgiven? pretty please
but ye, QUESTS! I'm for it! By infected camp do you mean Quest #1 - Out of the City - medical aid or the Quest #1 - Securing A Base?
no subject
all is forgiven!
But yes, I mean Out of the City! since I figured she'd need to be a little more bamf for base securing.
no subject

Would hitting your open log/inbox with wildcard be okay?
