final event.



new beginnings & fond farewells

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, winter’s unrelenting chill miraculously gives way to warmer weather and sunnier skies. Perhaps winters are simply brief and mild on Crescentview island, but the townsfolk will tell you the Goddess often blesses those bound to be wed with fair weather on their big day. With so many weddings on the horizon, that certainly lends credence to the notion that the Goddess honors the sacred unity between lovers and richly blesses them accordingly.

The end of the year also signals the approach of the next, and with it, a chance to start anew in the spring. While many events and holidays are hosted on the island, few are celebrated as broadly as New Year's Eve, so those preparing to be wed should ensure they leave time to think up some resolutions together.

Very few crops can withstand winter's unrelenting chill and consistent snowfall. This is the season to clear out your field and turn the soil in preparation for the upcoming spring.

love is in the air

Can you hear those church bells ringing? They’ll certainly be doing just that quite often during the latter half of winter as a grand total of 13 weddings will be taking place before the end of the year. Some will be hosting open weddings while others have opted to invite only their closest loved ones and friends, and who knows? Perhaps some have told no one at all and plan to elope!

The following Sacred Unities will be hosted publicly for all to attend:
Winter 16th: Aether & Vanitas x

Winter 17th: Noe & Lucia x

Winter 18th: Tighnari & Cyno

Winter 20th: Gaku & Ellis x

Winter 21st: Yuri, Flynn & Judith x

Winter 22nd: Kaveh & Alhaitham x

Winter 24th: Diluc, Amber & Kaeya x

Winter 27th: Kaspar, Sylvando & van Zieks

Winter 28th: He Xuan & Childe
Islanders are encouraged to spend the remainder of the year celebrating with those whom they’ve become close to, perhaps even inseparably, by attending and participating in their sacred unities. As such, the Goddess has prepared a special punch card for attendees to earn special rewards through their attendance.

Make a top level here with your punch card. As your character attends each Sacred Unity, add a link your tag-in and a stamp to start earning rewards. We're operating on a good faith system for this final event, so there's no need to wait around for mod approval on your rewards! Just do us a favor and make sure your links aren't broken (we like to snoop, shh...)

PUNCH CARD
fill out and submit for special rewards!

Stamp here! Note that no resizing is needed: the image will resize automatically to fit within the stamp window.


All one needs to do to start accruing stamps is attend some Sacred Unities (including their own). Simple as that! Each Sacred Unity attended will result in one stamp being added onto their card via the Goddess' magic. Stamps can then be exchanged for any of the following items in no particular order. Check out what rewards wait in store!

A book of Interdimensional Traveler's Coupons. These neat little coupons are imbued with strong magic that will allow you to travel from world to world— provided you know someone who lives there! No longer is your choice limited to returning to one home or another after you leave the island.

An ornate gold-plated King's Crown. Aside from making you look kingly (or foolish, depending on who you're asking), the King's Crown will allow you to make yourself the king during a round of king's game, thus usurping whoever was originally chosen. Let's hope you're a compassionate and reasonable ruler. This item can only be used once, so plan wisely!

The Honeymooner's Sinful Sachet. This nondescript silk bag has a lot of... salacious items hidden away inside of it. Several sets of lingerie perfectly suited for you & your lover's body types have been included along with aphrodisiacs that promise to keep you and your lover(s) ruckin' all night long. There are also sets of kinky dice, edible underwear, ropes, vibrators, and other arguably tasteless toys to keep your wedding night delightfully spicy.

A pair of Companion Fairies that you can take back home with you! Those buff fairies sure were helpful, weren't they? Or perhaps you felt a certain kinship to one of the Goddess' fashion-forward fairies. Either way, the Goddess is allowing you to take two of her loyal followers back home with you... but whether or not they'll report your whereabouts back to her is nothing they're willing to disclose.

Your very own vacation home! ...Well, kinda. While the option to return home exists to those tying the knot, this reward with bestow you with a special ring that will allow you and anyone you choose to return to Crescentview island and the farm you've built here. Isn't that nifty? With this, you won't have to worry about who will care for your animals after you've departed.
Please consider this final task and accompanying rewards as our heartfelt thank you for joining us here in Crescentview. It's been a joy from beginning to end! Any incomplete tasks from event 4.0 can still be submitted below for rewards until 3/31.

ringing in the new year

The new year is almost upon us! Though many of Crescentview's farmers are returning home and taking their partners with them, they'll have the opportunity to celebrate the coming of spring before packing up to leave.

Every Winter 30th, a grand celebration takes place on the beach where vendors from the mainland have come to set up stalls with food and games. You can snack on everything from buckwheat noodles to mochi, and if you're feeling bold, why don't you draw your fortune slip and see what your luck's looking like for the new year? There's also a wish tree set up in the center of the venue. Who knows? Maybe the Goddess will hear your prayers and bless you with a miracle. It certainly doesn't hurt to try!

king for a day


It's finally time for King's Game! We'll be hosting several rounds of King's Game on the 25th. For those who have never played, the rules are pretty simple:

1. ICly, Everyone draws a stick and is assigned a number corresponding to the number of characters playing. OOCly, numbers will be assigned via rng.

2. The host will then choose a random number. The character holding that number is the round's king.

3. The king will assign each of the other players with a task to complete. Remember: the king's word is law!
We'll look forward to seeing you there for guaranteed chaos and shenanigans. We don't have a set time that we're going to begin King's Game, but we'll be hosting several rounds ourselves and will hand off the crown (hehe) to any players interested in hosting a few rounds themselves afterwards. As usual, we'll send out a message via the discord when we're set to begin.


mod notes

⬥ Endgame is upon us! Have we thanked you all enough for engaging with our short-form collaborative writing project playing in our game? For the people in the back, we're gonna say it again: thank you so much for joining us in Crescentview and making this game such a fun and engaging one. This game wouldn't have been the wonderful success that it's been without all of you making it so. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much for playing and please enjoy the remainder of the game!
⬥ This is our final event. A love meme will go up on the 31st.
⬥ Please plot over at the Final Event Plotting Post.
⬥ As a reminder, please keep all plotting on the OOC post as not everyone uses Discord or Plurk.
⬥ Please submit your completed tasks at the top-level below.
⬥ Have fun!

[ Kaspar smiles but they'll have to hunt him down when he walks away with his number hidden. ]

Why are you leaving?

[ He was holding up number four or something, I guess. But even so, he's just gonna notice this guy walking off like that. ]

[Holding up #5 and shrugging.]

If he's not okay with whatever he god, then there's no need to chase him down or anything. Maybe he's uncomfortable.

[ Well, if Kaspar doesn't answer, and continues walking off, He Xuan won't follow.

Then, he will decide to turn his attention briefly to Otegine. ]


Maybe. Don't really care too much about it either way.

It's probably for the best.

[Tossing his jacket to the side again as he rolls his shoulders.]

I dance all the time back home, so I think I can manage. How are you with music?

[ At the question, he seems to give it some thought. ]

Been awhile since I've played anything.

[ HC is that he played the qin at some point, also, he's out of practice...

But maybe he can swing on by the grocery store and get something there anyway?? ]

Hm.

[They sure are fresh out of instruments right now, aren't they...]

Well, uh... can you keep a steady rhythm? With your hands or sounds from your mouth, anything like that?
esurientabyss: (🌊22)

[personal profile] esurientabyss 2023-03-26 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Probably! Possibly!!

Either way, he can definitely like, clap or something? That's much easier. ]


...I can use my hands to keep a 'rhythm'. So, go ahead.

[Otegine will help He Xuan pick a relatively moderate tempo, and

Well I am gomen that this is the only video I have but yes, the man can dance. Hi, Owen!]

[personal profile] sicklysweet 2023-03-25 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not if Owen uses his magic to wrap around Kas' ankle and keep him in place.]

Where do you think you're going?
bluminescence: (Default)

[personal profile] bluminescence 2023-03-25 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... This is no time for a first dance

[ Kaspar pretends he's chosen to stand here instead. He only tests it a little!!!

Fate accepted, still cosplaying as Childe, Kaspar sounds remorseful--
]

How shall I make it up to you, my liege?
sicklysweet: (3860288 (43))

[personal profile] sicklysweet 2023-03-25 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, he's getting whipped cream from Childe, so...]

Get me some cake, later.

[He's a fair and reasonable king!!]
bluminescence: (06)

[personal profile] bluminescence 2023-03-25 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaspar bows deeply.

But also adds, almost a whisper--
]

Let us still compel 5 to dance for us?

[LOOKING OVER AT OTEGINE.]

He's not getting out of this, don't worry. Seems I chose well.
bluminescence: (06)

[personal profile] bluminescence 2023-03-26 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now he'll just be here beside Owen, popcorning in spirit. ]
