WEEKLY UPDATE May 25 - 31




weather

It's getting even hotter this week, the warmth accompanied with a thunderstorm on Thursday. Lightning will strike close to the tree, but thankfully the following rain will quickly take care of the smoldering aftermath.

The sky remains clear until Saturday, when it starts getting cloudy and gray again. This continues into next week.

flora

The tulips and the poppy are still growing nicely, pretty and colorful petals brightening up the outside of the tree. The dandelions are puffing up into white balls, ready to release their seeds.

At the edge of the mist, the raspberry bush is starting to flower.

After the attempts to solve the quest that backfired so badly, large oak leaves have fallen all over the ground outside.

fauna

More and more animals are starting to appear around the tree. Bumblebees, honeybees, wasps and other similar insects are swarming all over flowers and the tree's trunk, the mother rabbit is eating dandelions and birds are singing endlessly from dawn to dusk.

In Chime's shop, the bluebird has laid three little eggs and now remains even at night to incubate them under her feathers.

Outside the mist, deer can be seen wandering the forest, and a fox will be sniffing around the boundaries.

events

Things still seem kind of calm around the tree, but those that get close to the crystals that are blocking the last floor might hear the smallest little musical tone now and then.

quests

The adventurers have valiantly attempted to solve the quest with all kinds of ideas on how to hold hands and use their gems, but none of them have so far managed to solve it.

After trying to put Night gems against the large Day gem and vice-versa, they started a shocking turn of events that left the gems cracked. That had a bad effect on Chime as well, who nearly died.

While the gems were healed thanks to some clever adventurers and Chime was saved, the main quest has failed and the words on the mirror have shattered. Contrary to what was espected however, there doesn't seem to be an immediate backlash for failing?


ATP is next weekend, so tell us what characters you're looking for!

I'm definitely up for having Illya learn how to make clothes, since she only has her normal winter outfit + any magical transformation outfits that Ruby makes explicitly for her. It will definitely be like an arts and crafts project, so she won't have any problems learning it personally, although shenanigans might happen because her kaleidostick can kind of transform her into various outfits (that are definitely Not Normal because Ruby's taste is weird).

So, uh, if anybody wants to see any magical clothing transformations, that's probably going to happen when they decide to come as a group and start wanting to make clothes/sewing.
