OOC PLOTTING: IT'S GONNA BE MAY

[sticksandbonesmods]

SETTING UPDATES

• Kiera built us a barn. It lives in the north of the Grove, Wolfie will update the map when Wolfie has a second. You can house livestock here, as well as catch random biblically accurate animals and stuff them in here. Since the barn is owned by Kiera/Weasel, please ask Weasel’s permission before you start stuffing your own animals in there, unless Weasel wants to give blanket permission. Do not assume, do communicate, etc.
• Heimr’s human now! Or human enough. He’s not sure. The name “Aldric” when referring to him is no longer garbled, but it’s also just not who he is anymore.
• The Alpha Mart is gone, and the doors are unscrambled. Mr. Bone-Jangles returns to his cryptid status of only showing up during mod-mandated silly time. We miss you every day king.
• ? ? ? That’s it, we had a chill month last month and no one broke the setting. If we forgot something though… you know where we’re at, we’re happy to edit.

PLOT UPDATES

• Spring is in its heights and flowers are blooming everywhere! Butterflies and bees are everywhere, plantimals have stared sprouting accommodating flowers if they haven’t already, and those who are Corrupted may find their flowers seem more vibrant and lively without their suffering.
• The fruit trees and bushes seem more full of life as well, and relatedly, Rusty is taking it upon himself to bring residents of the grove baskets of fruits and berries… though you might have to keep him from eating the spoils of his harvest.
• But it’s not Aldric’s Grove without something going… wrong. And come nightfall, every night, a shimmering purple mist wafts into the town. Though it doesn’t come into any buildings, looking at it makes you want to step into it, and stepping into it grants you a lovely vision- a perfect daydream, even! Where everything is as it should be.
• In reality, as you move through the dream, you will be waltzing right into danger, only to be pulled from the brink of an imminent death at the last minute, with the dream fading. Maybe a Guardian saved you, or maybe you just managed to avoid stepping into Callan’s lake, but a death you would have happily walked into is only narrowly avoided.
• The worst part is, with every venture into the mist, the stronger its pull the next night is. Good luck!
• You’ve asked, and we’re answering: this month you’ll have prom! Not that… any of the natives know what Prom is. As what should be the equinox approaches, one night a friendly spirit will enter the grove to escort everyone to a secondary location. Fancy outfits, fresh food, a fountain, and even a dance floor under the most beautiful moonlight will be waiting. We assume you’re going to pick your own prom dates, but if you’re feeling unhinged, matchmaking services are available by pinging us in the mod discord.
• If you play hankey pankey at Prom, you will be physically thrown out of the venue by a bunch of spirits. Do not do the horizontal tango on the dance floor, take that to the woods or your houses. Points at our eyes points at yours.
• This month also doubles as a TDM month which means ? ? ? TDMers get Prom, congrats!

OOC UPDATES

• We still have plothooks waiting for pickup!
• As a reminder, summer is going to be full of fairly lowkey months save for player-initiated developments.

[sesa]

Character: Sesa

Status: Sesa got fucking DUNKED ON in Alpha Mart last month but it was more for comical reasons than anything serious going on, so he's fine. He's spending a majority of his time inbetween his workshop and the rec center getting things set up and taken care of. This is mostly my fault I've just been slow in April so he didn't do anything actively but rest assured it's been going on in the background.

Seeking: Sesa is going to the prom with Elliot because they are Dating and they are Gross but he will happily platonically dance with others because he loves himself a good party. I don't actually know if he can dance, probably not. So do so at your own peril. He'll be wearing some traditional Sargonian fare of some kind that will make him look very hotsexy, I cannot find this one outfit Wolfie sent me once that she said he should wear but I'm envisioning that one, I'll link it if I can find it.

Not Seeking: No dying, no major upsets atm, I am very small

Anything Else: This will apply to Wolfwood as well: I am starting a new job very soon (as in, in two weeks soon) so I am going to be busy! I don't plan on hiatusing bc I won't be starting until mid month and I don't want to miss out on things, so I'm just going to feel it out and see what my schedule is like. If it turns out I'm feeling overwhelmed(tm) I might pop a hiatus the following month, idk yet we'll see. I've been kindof itching to try a third here as well but I don't want to overdo it, yaknow? So I'm going to be putting some people on the TDM and just feeling it out.

THATS IT

HE'LL BE WEARING THAT THANK U FOR MY LIFE

[lupusxylem]

Character: Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Status: Wolfwood is!!! Managing!! He's been without a leg for a full month since reviving from his death back in March, so he really has kindof just kept to himself for the most part (and because I've been slow I'm so sorry). He's been focusing more on just recovering and not doing anything else to piss the Forest off, my man has been humbled and he is not having a good time about it. He's going to be getting a prosthetic leg from Gnosis sometime in May, so you'll be seeing him using that and getting used to it. It's still going to be a while before he's back to semi-normal, for obvious reasons, but he is Here(tm).

Also! He just recently purchased a pair of Tomas chicks which are currently living in Kiera's barn. They are small, bright blue little chicks that kindof look like baby emus from his world. He'll be focusing a lot of his time on raising them alongside Livio and Vash, I will probably post about them either on their own or on the event post.

Seeking: Stupid interactions at prom pls, he's obviously already going to be paired up with Vash and Livio BUT please feel free to drag him into shit because otherwise he is going to just sit by the wall and drink all evening and that's no fun.

Also forgot to mention what outfit he'd be wearing and lbr he'll probably just be wearing a normal suit like he wears all the fucking time unless somebody convinces him to dress nicer

Not Seeking: No death, no major upsets, etc etc I said this on Sesa's post u know the drill

Anything Else: Read Sesa's Anything Else section!
