The pleasant weather is gone. From Tuesday to Wednesday night, a storm will hit the tree. Rain, thunder and lightning will mix with horribly strong winds that could blow a tiny fairy into something hard. It's best to stay inside and batten down the hatches!
As the weekend rolls around, the weather will be milder, but still very gray and cloudy. Temperature will be low but not freezing, and the wind will have died down again.
flora
The storm will blow away the pink daffodil and all its glittery powder, together with some of the other plants as well.
Afterwards, dandelions will be sprouting up around the tree, replacing some of the older crocus, coltsfoot and snowdrops.
fauna
The storm will also scare away the animals, and the mounts will huddle inside, refusing to go out. It is not until the storm ends that animals will be appearing again, mostly finches, squirrels and a vole or two.
events
On Thursday, the violin music will finally let up for a while. However, for the rest of the week a human shape can be seen on the other side of the mist, holding a violin. He will even come close enough to touch the mist, and all those that are attracted to men will see their physically ideal man - not a specific person, but the most attractive man they can imagine.
Those not attracted to men? He's not as pretty, looking very wet and... dead. Good luck explaining that to your friends, however.

I know some of us (Orcelito, Kit, and Yuuki) have proposed forming a group by the Lifestream and randomly holding hands to try and solve the riddle. XD Anyone still interested in trying this?
Saber will suggest them to wait until Marisa (if she's given mod permission) makes that alarm system around the tree perimeter and they organize the defense. Jumping into the quest without knowing what could happen seems shortsighted in her opinion (which she has brought in the gathering in the Hakuryuu quest thread).
After they have these ready, she would stay close to them to guard them while they hold hands.
Sounds good. I was also thinking we should organize a fighting force on Lv. 6 to be ready if/when the crystals disappeared. There are already many strong fighters on that floor, so it should be easy to coordinate.
Yes, they discussed the matter of strategical use of space (and housing but that was a point Saber was concerned about) here. Since she stays on lv. 6 too... She was only missing meeting Orcelito from her neighbours. Link proposed to have a guard camping site set at the entrance in the same thread!
Either way, when they do their quest solving, she would be guarding quest group and pay (at this moment) special attention to the fog and the music (which was also brought up in the discussion: potential omens for trouble).
Ah, thank you for summing that up. (There was so much to read in the Gathering thread that I missed details here and there.)
Once the defense system is set up, we will start trying to solve the riddle. It may end up involving more characters than those already mentioned, but we can coordinate that when the time comes.
No problem! If I had time, I would sum up everything but rl is being unkind right now. ;_;
Sure. I'll have Saber stay guarding the quest group. She'll most likely request those who are members of the defense squad/militia/what not to be stationed in certain positions.
