mid-month event

With Crescentview’s newest citizens settling nicely, the Goddess has summoned everyone back to Town Square for another round of announcements. This time, her summons comes to you in the form of a hand-written note. If you happen to be out working in your field, one of her fairies will hand it directly to you, looking a little more sprightly than they did the first time you saw them. Otherwise, expect to find her request/demand to meet up in Town Square in your mailbox.


introducing: the memo board

The Memo Board is now available in Town Square. You may post messages here to your fellow neighbors, send out requests for assistance on the farm, or even solicit local singles for hot dates! Post whatever you like whenever you like. You can even post messages to the board anonymously if you so desire. The Memo Board is available here.

But wait, there’s more! The Goddess has given everyone a fun relationship-building exercise. How well do you know your neighbors? Can you identify them based on their writing alone?

By December 22nd - 12:00pm EST, please have your character submit an anonymous message to be posted to the Memo Board. Their message can be about anything they’d like and there is no length requirement or restrictions. After submissions have been received, characters will be given an opportunity to review everyone’s messages and guess which character wrote which memo. Answers will be revealed on December 29th - 12:00pm EST. A single correct guess will earn you a horse while each additional correct guess will net you a vegetable, flower, or mushroom spore seed bag of your choice. Good luck and have fun!

it's time to dance!

Every Spring 15th, the annual Flower Dance is held in Town Square. Villagers gather to dance with one another and celebrate the upcoming harvest and offer their prayers to the Goddess. Folks are encouraged to dance not just with those they fancy, but their fellow neighbors as a way to express gratitude and appreciation for the friendship and company they provide.

ICly, the dance takes place on Spring 15th and goes from 9am to 9pm.

task board

In addition to the tasks currently available on the Task Board, a handful of new additions have been added. You may continue to work on tasks from the previous event in addition to these new tasks, but please note that tasks may only be completed within the month they are assigned. Summer starts next month, so please have all of your tasks completed and submitted by then!

The new additions are as follows:

1. Post a notice on the Memo Board. Stick up an anonymous memo and earn a single chicken or rabbit to add to your coop. You may post as many notices as you like, but you will only redeem the reward once.

2. Correctly guess who posted a memo. Discuss these anonymous notes with one another and guess who may be the author. Between December 22nd and December 29th, submit your IC votes (link coming on the 22nd) and if you guess correctly, even just once, you will get a horse! You may guess as many times as you like, but you may only redeem this reward once.

3. Partake in the Flower Dance. Pick a partner for a round of dancing, pray to the Goddess, or just celebrate the good times! For every person that you celebrate the event with, you will receive a random bag of seeds of fruits, vegetables, flowers, or mushroom spores. This task can be completed 5 times.

4. Send a letter to your neighbor. This requires you to have acquired the stationary set from the first event, so if you haven't claimed it yet, get to it! You can post letters directly on the main community or set up an inbox in your journal to send and receive hand-written letters. For each letter that you send, you will get a random gacha item. This task can be completed 3 times.

5. Harvest your crops. On the 14th, you'd be surprised to find that all of your crops are now ready for picking - even if you've only planted them the day before. The crops look bright, flavourful, and ready to be picked, so eat them, trade them, sell them, whatever! For every interaction that you have involving the bountiful harvest, you will receive a new set of clothes. This task can be completed 3 times.

[Owen has no interest in stability, as a general rule. He likes things to be imbalanced and chaotic! He also refuses to get help, but that's just what Northerners are like... Well, he also can't even read the sign over Ellis' building, so there's that, too.

Still, what does catch his interest is the sound of a child crying. They're... really going for it, and Owen is nosy. He has to go check it out.]


Oh, my. What on earth have you done to this poor child?

[This is... the shitty "nyargh" guy? Did he "NYARGH" at this kid, too?"]

[ Maybe. Ellis is just thankful for being deaf so he doesn't have to hear people cry. He imagines that he'd absolutely hate it. But then he looks at Owen almost pleadingly. Help!!

Fluffy the samoyed just sits off to the side and watches because lol

[lmao]

Why should I help? This is your fault, isn't it?

[He's just going to lean against the wall, letting the kid wail and watching as their parent tries to do damage control. It's not... stopping.

It's admittedly kind of grating, but he's more interested in watching Ellis struggle.]

[ Ellis looks so offended. That's so rude, Owen?! This isn't his fault! When he looks at Owen with an exasperated look, the child continues to cry. It's really... honestly... Ellis doesn't care about the child crying. He's deaf and all he has to do is look away, but to look normal, he has to care.

So that's why he tries to gently give the kid head pats and tries to make them pat Fluffy too. Look at how much fur he has. It's even clean and shiny because Ellis has been spending so much time caring for it. "[live] i brush my samoyed and don't stop until i'm done", duration: 12 hours. Eventually, the fever temperature is stabilized and the kid and mother are sent away. Ellis sighs of relief. Dear god.

[That offended face is the kind of face he’s been wanting to see, and it draws a laugh from Owen. That gets him a dirty look from the mom, but he doesn’t seem to notice. Still, the kid calms down and leaves, leaving just them and the dog.]

Are dogs the only creatures you do well with?

[Speaking of which, time for Owen to come over and give Fluffy some pets himself. He’s like a cloud… What a good boy…]

[ Fluffy is very well taken care of and he's happy. Yesss. He loves getting pets. Ellis huffs, almost in a pout as he looks at Owen. He shakes his head no! Of course he's good with people! Especially when he's being a fake bitch!!

But he gestures to the chair in front of him on the other side of the table. Does Owen want anything stabilized today? Does he want a taste of Ellis's power? Feel free to have him hear what Ellis can do from normal citizens.

[Have you considered just being a regular bitch instead, Ellis? Being fake is way too much energy to waste on people you don't care about.

Owen's also not moving while he has a dog to pet?? Fluffy is way more interesting then getting anything stabilized, but...]


So, are your powers working at full capacity yet?

[A great question to ask someone who can't talk when you also can't read.]
framestory: (pic#9234255)

[personal profile] framestory 2022-12-24 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, but having good relationships mean bring offered help and possibly not a dunk into the goddess pond. Ellis nods at Owen's question though. It sure is! He just needs to know what Owen's wants stabilized. ]

[Coward.]

What’s the worst thing you can do with it?

[He couldn’t read the sign, so… stabilize him in the worst way you can?? He has no idea.]
framestory: (pic#9234305)

[personal profile] framestory 2022-12-28 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This sure wouldn't be the worst, but Ellis reaches out (he doesn't really have to) to point at Owen's face and stabilizes his entire mood. Congrats, Owen. You're calm now. ]
