    07/31 - Applications close; Activity Check ends
With that done, a quick recap!

    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!

Prince | Henry | Witch

Hi there, I'm being destroyed by work/other problems and have been for the entirety of June; this will continue into late July at least. Posting this means I've caught up with all of my tags. (Please let me know if I didn't get to yours.) If you'd like to drop our thread or discuss the handwaved conclusion of it, feel free to do so. I apologize for my slowness. I can usually handle my workload, but everything in combination with low motivation has really made a cocktail of anti-productivity for me.

I missed out on the two (two? I think?) previous event logs, but I'm going to skip out on involving him in any of that stuff. Moving forward, I hope to get him involved in things.

Player Name: Prince
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: [plurk.com profile] smaaaaash or smaaaaash#9339; feel free to add me
Timezone: Pacific

Character Name: Henry
Canon: Fire Emblem Awakening
Appearance: Official art; you can check out my info page for more.
Brief: A Plegian dark mage who possesses a disturbingly cheerful disposition contrasting against a morbid sense of humor. Desensitized to the gruesome aspects of life and war, Henry laughs at the sight of blood, casually chats about decapitation, overshares alarming details about his life, and lacks a filter in most social situations. Being that he's taken from endgame, he's getting a little better at practicing tact and has some ability to practice self-awareness. Very little fazes Henry: he cracks jokes at the most inappropriate of times, makes comments that cause characters to balk, and has unorthodox methods of solving problems. Henry has a natural talent at communicating with living creatures and finds himself most comfortable in the presence of animals. Humans are a social experience he's still trying to come to grips with: Henry struggles to communicate his feelings beyond that perpetual mask of a smile he wears, a product of a troubled past. For more history/personality info, check out his application.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans:
  • Winter Wonderland: Henry is largely unfamiliar with snow and cold weather, but he has a cape which is basically a blanket. He'll flock to warmer areas, but he'll also be drawn to aid Monsters in their acclimation to the cold weathers, no matter what it takes. He's been here for a month, so his magic has improved somewhat with study!

  • A Summons: I'm not sure how he'll be doing, but Henry's not one for formalities and may not attend. I'll keep my eyes peeled for places that might be of interest to him, however.

General Plans:
  • Given my unfortunate absence (and consequentially, missing out on the handwaved CR meme), I'd be more than happy to discuss some handwaved CR with any interested parties! At least just to say "yeah our characters have introduced each other via class/whatever", either way. He's been living both in the barracks and... outside...? He's not very good at sleeping in one place when he's not explicitly invited to do so.

  • I'd love to engage in any threads involving magic practice! Even if it's not of a darker persuasion, Henry wants to get better at it so that he can be useful. If it is of a darker persuasion, even better.

  • Henry has formed a temporary Bond or two, but I'd like for him to encounter a Witch who is at their limit and close to going supernova. I'm hoping to instill in his silly head that he wants to experience that, because he's weird. He'd also love to help if he can, but being that he's a Witch himself, he might not be so successful.

shakes fist @ work...! Thank you though, IT WILL GET BETTER IN TIME

They're so awful. I'd love that, so of course I'd be down for that. There are a lot of prompts that could involve magic in this log, it's premium territory for them to do magic in winter...

AHHHHHHFHHg

Henry will bring a housewarming gift for big apple. you have to start the befriending process before they're alive, that's how you make friends for keeps. I got so excited about Wei Wuxian's progress that yeah his inbox would be fine, but I also ended up caving and top-leveled. Either way is good for me!

Sorry to hear about work kicking your butt! I wanted to check in on whether you wanted to handwave Yako and Henry have reacquainted themselves via maze-running, or if you'd prefer to say they bump into each other for the first time on the winter log. o/ I'm pretty easy, so I'll go with whichever would work best for you!

Since they met on the TDM, I think having their first reacquaintance on the winter log would work well for me! I'm sorry for dropping the ball there after we planned for it and everything... 💦 but I am eager to do more with Yako.

It’s all good! I’ll hit up his top level to get that ball rolling then!
