OCTOBER 2015

5: The leaves in the forest have all changed color overnight today, going from green to the multitude of red, yellow and browns instead. This also includes everyone's leaf tunics!

In addition to this, a lot of the leaves are also falling down throughout the rest of the month and may be getting in the way for our tiny heroes. Fall cleaning?

17: An array of mushrooms pop up along the edge of the stream. Most of them are edible. A few are shrooms. The ones with the red and white-dotted caps are good for furniture... or viking berserking.

28: The pumpkin vine that appeared last month has now grown an average-sized, orange pumpkin. Releasing its fruit, the vine withdraws into the forest once again, and now the Adventurers can pumpkin-spice everything.

7: Mittens comes by to visit the Adventurers, and this time she's able to walk right through the mist. She'll stay all day and night by the Tree, playing with the Adventurers or snuggling. Her purring has a very soothing and even minor healing effect.

14 - 16: All magical, amazing forests have beautiful creatures living in them. The fairest of all these creatures is the unicorn. Wandering into the small clearing by the tree, this wondrous horned animal lights up the night with her shining white fur and mane. Beautiful, soulful and kind, she stays there for a few nights, seemingly waiting for something or someone to join her. She can be coaxed by virgins to come near the tree, and can pass through the mist.

On the sixteenth, another horse-like being will meet up with her, but this one is as ugly and frightening as she is beautiful. Water-logged, skeletal and fanged, the kelpie will play and nuzzle affectionately with the unicorn before they leave together. It will not be able to cross the mist.

22: A crow lands just outside the mist, and spends most of the day eerily watching the people inside. If approached, it will mimic strange sounds from events, things or people back in the Adventurers homes. It will leave in the evening, but the next morning, there will be a silver cross necklace tangled around a crow feather floating in the stream.

9 - 11: Who are you? What is your name, again? Some of the Adventurers seem to have lost their minds, memories disappearing at random - everything from the name of a friend to the ability to walk. Tone seems very worried about this, and will be randomly appearing with rainbow dust to put these memories back again.

At the end of the 11th, Tone seems to have fixed the strange issue somehow and everyone will be back to normal. The small spirit spends several days afterwards polishing in the shining gem by the shrine with the names in it.

19 - 20: A layer of frost appears over everything on the 19th, covering everything from the ground outside the tree to the houses inside it. Not only does it make everything rather col,d but it also makes it very, very slippery. Please do not slip and fall down the Life Stream without your wings!

The next day, the frost melts, but leaves everything a little wet and soggy. Many of the fire flies and glow worms will get the sniffles after being cold, wet and then working hard to dry things off, and will need some TLC.

29 - 31: Darkness descends upon the forest, and from the 29th to the 31st, the sun will not rise and the full moon is all light there will be. Not even the stars will glow, a strange greenish haze obscuring everything else in the sky but that pretty moon.

Inside the tree, things doe not feel as sweet and safe any more. Chime and Tone will lose their color, freezing like they have been turned to stone for the reminder of these three days. The Life Stream will snap blue and will not be able to switch back, and odd things now lurk in the corners, just at the edge of your eye. Never quite seen, never unseen.

On the night of the 31st, a grand party will start near the tree, with ghosts, spirits, undead and fae gathering to dance. Among the dancers are the Hollow Lady and the restored Violinist. Adventurers may even be invited to dance.

Absolutely! Cuddles and purrs are a definite yes. I was thinking of taking some string from storage for a cat toy, too.

Edit: Agh, just remembered I'll be busy/tired next week! Might not be able to make this event. Even if I don't make it IC, assume that Orcelito showed up to give pets and get purrs.
