downtheroots | The Blooming 🌼 02 (Reply)

Once a month, the Life Stream pulses and brings in new Adventurers.
Some get their names etched into the shrine in the Ruins, while others disappear after a day.

Uncertain if this is a game for you?
Curious to see how your character would act in it?

Testing the waters?

Then you're welcome to this Home Tree Test Drive!

prompts

🍃 THE MEET AND GREET

Each Blooming, a feast is supplied on the Food Altar. Berries, nuts, mushrooms and more have been served in larger portions to fill all stomachs, and both honey-sweetened water and berry juice is served to the thirsty. Tables and chairs are set up everywhere along the walkway between the houses, allowing the new visitors to meet and greet - or try to hide in the corners and eat berries all by themselves.

Try your new wings to be the first to grab those delicious crumbs of walnut bread? Or say hi to your party lights, courtesy of some excited glow-worms and fireflies that just want to be your best friends.

🍃 MEMORIES OF THE PAST

Throughout the party and in all the Tree, ghostly images can briefly be spotted. They seem to show short hints and memories of other groups of Adventurers before you, as well as strangely humanoid ants (some that look like ant-centaurs!) that appear to be actually building all the things in the Tree.

Even more interesting are brief images of other Servants of the Tree that cannot actually be found inside the Tree right now - Green, Purple, Pink and a darker, smaller Blue.

[ Old characters that can be seen as ghostly images are found in the tags, marked with a 🍄! Even ghostly images of your character can be found, if they are the same as one from this list! ]

🍃 PUMPKIN SPICE DUST

Tone has so many new vials now thanks to the Adventurers, so he's been using extra ones for experiments. However, not all of them have gone well. A small explosion can be heard from far above, and then coppery dust falls through the Tree like a big cloud, getting all over. It smells very strongly of spices, which might be recognized as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.

Not only is does it taste amazing on anything edible (and should probably be swept up and saved), but it also changes the colors of anything that isn't alive to pretty fall colors - orange, brow, gold, copper, red, yellows... you name it!

🍃 LEAF & SILK

Since people seem to be having a good time, Buzz and Chime bring both the old and new Adventurers something to do while getting to know eachother. It is a bunch of fall leaves and spider silk, and a little basket of hedgehog needle-needles for sewing and knitting. Make your own fall couture! The leaves are soft and do not seem to rip or dry out easily - almost comparable to fabric!
