jan event.
summer has arrived
As the last of the sakura blossoms fall away and the leaves on the trees grow into ever more vibrant greens, the familiar buzz of cicadas begins to echo all throughout the isle. Summer is quickly approaching and bringing brighter days and blazing temperatures along with it.
Summer also signals the start of the wine production season. Grapes growing on trellises are a common sight on Crescentview during the summer and a notice on the town memo board from the local barkeep encourages farmers to consider growing some varietal grapes of their own.
Temperatures are rising, so put on a comfortable pair of shorts and head to the Town Plaza to see what’s cooking! While you’re at it, take a look at the calendar for Summer 1st through 15th.
This season’s crops are corn, onion, pumpkin, watermelon, and pineapple. Summer’s seasonal flowers are poppy, rose, sunflower, lily, and hydrangea. As for mushrooms, shimeji, trumpet, and common brown spores are available for the summer.
hot! ...or not
Posted prominently at the top of the Memo Board is a cartoonishly-written advertisement for the first annual Hot or Not hosted by the Goddess herself. Contestants will take to the stage while the audience votes on whether they are as hot as the blazing sun or cooler than a dead fish. Leave your egos at the door! ICly, this event takes place on Summer 8th.
task board
The task board is located in Town Square and changes from season to season. In real time, a season is one month long. The following tasks are available from January 1st to February 1st and more tasks may be added mid-month.
Certain rewards are only available through event participation, so please keep this in mind when planning your threads. Multiple tasks may be completed within a single thread, but when turning in, please link to the individual tags in which each task was completed.
Finally, rewards are per character, not per farm, so those with housemates may want to coordinate with one another with regard to what animals you’re bringing home to your farm.
This month’s tasks are centered around getting to know your fellow neighbors on a deeper level. As such, the Goddess has put together a small human scavenger hunt to encourage people to learn more about the people they are living with — and hopefully falling in love with.
Find someone who...
1. Was born in the summer
2. Pours milk into their bowl before the cereal
3. Plays a musical instrument
4. Has more than 3 siblings
5. Works out 5 times a week or more
6. Doesn’t like animals
7. Would like to date the Harvest Goddess
8. Has traveled around the world
9. Speaks two or more languages
10. Is wearing socks that aren’t black or white
Each submission will earn you two random bags of summer seeds. Specify whether you want crop, flower, or mushroom spores in your submission. This task can be completed a total of 10 times.
Many ingredients used in wine production grow in the summer, but so do a variety of tea plants and grains. Grapes, tea shrubs and grains like wheat and barley can all be grown on your farm or in your greenhouse, if you have one.
Complete the following tasks to earn yourself some nice beverage-producing crops for the farm:
1. Take something from last month’s harvest and gift it to a neighbor. You can give it to them directly, cook it into a meal, etc. Alternatively, craft them a bouquet, flower crown, or another gift from the flowers you grew last season. Complete 3 times for a total of 6 grape starters.
2. Share a piece of hot gossip with a neighbor or exchange secrets with them. It doesn’t have to be your secret! Complete 3 times for a total of 6 tea starters.
3. Exercise with someone. Go on a run, swim in the ocean, help them stretch out! Complete 3 times for a total of 6 grain crops. You may choose from wheat, barley, rye, or rice.
Summer is the perfect time to hang out on the beach and splash around in the ocean. Participate in some summer fun at the beach and earn more animals for your barn and coop.
1. Swim in the ocean, build a sandcastle, or bury someone in the sand. Do any of the following for one of the following animals: cow, sheep, alpaca, or goat. This task can be completed once.
2. Participate in Hot or Not. It’s an annual tradition! Submit yourself or comment on someone else for a single chicken or rabbit. This task can be completed once.
local happenings
The Crescentview Times newspaper has chronicled the latest happenings around the island. A physical copy of the paper will arrive on your doorstep early in the morning on Summer 1st.
Recently, a group of townspeople have taken it upon themselves to check out the abandoned mine. They’ve made good headway on opening up the path in the hopes that would-be explorers will be able to take to the mines and find some of Crescentview’s fabled gems and minerals buried in its depths. They expect to be done by Summer 15th.
A strange “gurgling whisper” has been reported by some concerned townsfolk living in the mountains. The concerning sounds are coming from one of the lakes at the foot of the mountain. Supposedly, the voice is asking for offerings of... something. The townsfolk have yet to identify what exactly is being asked for.
A hurricane has been brewing off the southern coast of Crescentview. Meteorologists have yet to determine whether the hurricane will make landfall or not, so stay tuned for more updates.

( It sure is, Diluc! Which clearly makes him a natural. Or maybe how comfortable he made her feel made it easier for her to relax into orgasm...? Who knows! )
I guess it's not so obvious, but there's a part of our genitals that needs to be repeatedly stimulated to cause an orgasm. It's, uh ...
( She's about to do something crazy: Amber takes Diluc's hand into her own and guides it towards her sex, allowing one of his fingers to massage against her clit. )
T-This. Right here. It's called the clit, where all the nerve endings are ... ( She returns his hand back to him before she gets aroused again. ) Back home, the guys wouldn't know where it was and just kinda fumble around down there ... plus they wouldn't listen to my guidance for where it feels good. Or when I'd tell them where it feels good, they'd do it too hard and hurt me. Maybe some of them felt too proud and would prefer to figure it out on their own? So I usually just focused on their pleasure instead with my mouth and hands ... and left feeling pretty unsatisfied.
( Absolutely not the case with Diluc, though. )
no subject
I suppose they must've been too busy chasing down their own pleasure to focus on yours.
[It wasn't hard to lick his way around and quickly realize that tonguing over her clit resulted in the strongest reactions. What else could Diluc possibly conclude here?]
That's a shame when watching you come undone is so rewarding. If simply paying attention is all it takes, then men really are doomed to be the root of all their own problems.
[Diluc's heard one too many sob stories about struggling couples from the man's perspective at the bar to humor the notion that all the blame lies with the woman. Perhaps those sad sacks would be much better off if they knew how to please their wives? Just a thought.]
no subject
Yeeeeeah ... remember when we talked in the kitchen? And I told you that I felt used? This is pretty much why.
( Her days of screwing around with morons are well and truly over. There's an undeniable blush that tickles her cheeks when Diluc refers to her as having "come undone" ... it's a little bit embarrassing to hear, but it's accurate, isn't it? Amber didn't even know such pleasurable sex was even possible. )
You're much better, though. Way better. I feel hardly deserving of any of this. ( The meal, the praise, the compliments, the mind-blowing sex ... ) Just ... please know I'll never take your kindness for granted, Diluc. I'm so grateful to everything you've given to me today. Wonderful company, amazing food, a cooking lesson, incredible sex ... I really can't thank you enough. I don't think I'm all that special, but you definitely made me feel it. ( She nestles just that little bit closer to him, seeking out his hand with her own. )
I'll help you clean things up, too. ( But they don't have to think about that right now. It be time for cuddlin'. )
no subject
If you insist, but I'd rather put you to work if you don't. Washing a few sheets is a simple matter.
[Giving Amber's hand a squeeze, his other remains in her hair, slowly and gently combing out any tangles that came about as a result of their lovemaking.]
But really, you've done more than your fair share already. I'm... happier than I've been in a long time. It's almost strange how nice a feeling it is, so thank you, Amber. You really are a wonderful woman.
& wrapped!
Mmm ... And uh, this is forward of me, but ... ( Amber hooks her leg over his, a mischievous sparkle flashing in her eyes. ) If you have the energy to spare, maybe we can have one more round before we clean up ...
( What can she say? She's one firey woman. The cleaning will happen eventually. Maybe not now, but ... eventually. )
