Week change!
Beloved players,
The new week change is here! As usual, feel free to backdate anything as you need to, and feel free to use this post to brainstorm whatever plot you’d like for this week. Em is aiming to get a setting post/group thread up for Turning by Tuesday night (and hopefully before). This game-week will run four real-time weeks, and end around August 12th.
As always, feel free to hit up the dropbox if you have any questions!
Love,
~ The Mods
Weather:Monday, March 21st (Canwyn 1)
Cloudy and overcast. High of 69.
- In light of services and the upcoming Turning festival, Belmont Manor grudgingly opens its gates early Sunday morning.
- Aurellians at both manors receive the day off to attend services at the temple.
- Aurellian-run businesses are closed or operating under restricted hours today.
- Due to the destruction of the train tracks, there are no Faidoux treatments administered to played characters this week. Though Tucker Belmont did administer the few remaining doses of Faidoux treatments, all played characters have been spared.
- All bound characters will have full access to their powers this week. However, bound characters will also begin to experience side effects of Faidoux withdrawal partway through the week. [Remember that Faidoux’s addictive properties are unknown even to Tucker, so this is a mystery that individual characters (and the resistance) can piece together.]
- Garlands of fresh spring flowers appear draping the small altars, at the Temple, and some of the businesses (especially Ceddon’s) in advance of the Turning Festival. A beautifully constructed bower of flowers appears in the town center, under which tomorrow’s ceremony will be performed.
- Beau returns unexpectedly to Rosier Manor via carriage on Sunday afternoon.
- Danu Llewellyn hears Admission in the evening.
Weather: Sunny with scattered clouds. High of 76.Tuesday, March 22 (Canwyn 2)
- All Aurellian-run businesses are closed due to the Turning Festival.
- The first Turning Festival of the year is held in the town circle today, and all are welcome. Dancing and food and festivities continue late into the night. [We’ll be putting a multi-thread setting post for this up on Monday! You may use the group thread or a regular thread for Turning Festival posts at your discretion.]
- Because it is the first day of the new year, Aurellian Entertainment Tax goes into effect today. Bedmate session prices increase accordingly. The Blues Palace offers up a deal on cocktails in honor of the spring festival (and in an attempt to offset the sting of the sudden price hike)
- Anyone on a seasonal contract with their employer (bedmates and some house staff, for example) must renew their contracts today.
Weather: Intermittent clouds and light drizzle in the morning. High of 66.Wednesday, March 23rd (Canwyn 3)
- Bound Aurellians begin to experience mild symptoms of Faidoux withdrawal. These symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, loss of balance, fatigue, and depression. [We leave which symptoms manifest and their severity at the players’ discretion. Your character can experience only one or two mild symptoms if you wish, or the symptoms can be more numerous and severe.]
- Trivia night in the upper room Ceddon’s Bounty is themed around backlash to the recent Turning festival and focuses specifically on myths about the Aurellian Faith. Midway through the trivia session, an ornery local [open to a played character] stands on a chair and chastises the (mostly Clovennian) audience for their closemindedness. This dissenter is subdued and forcibly dragged out of the pub.
- Robor Howell hears Admission in the evening.
Weather: Sunny. High of 79.Thursday March 24th (Canwyn 4)
- Due to the track reconstruction, there is no headlining act at Antoine’s this week. Nena Cousteau has promised to return next week, but in the meantime the bedmates themselves offer the bulk of club’s musical entertainment.
- One of the dogs at the Temple gives birth to a pure white puppy which is viewed as a sign of impending good fortune for Glynn.
- Danu Llewellyn hears Admission in the evening.
Weather: Fog in the morning, burning off around noon. Cloudy for the rest of the day. High of 67.Friday March 25th (Canwyn 5)
- The flowers decorating town are not taken down, per tradition (a reminder of the transience of beauty). They are beginning to wilt, and Clovennians around town take up their (also traditional) grumbling about it.
- Bound Aurellians’ withdrawal symptoms continue to worsen.
Weather: Partly cloudy, high of 70.Saturday, March 26th (Canwyn 6)
- A small shipment of the wildly popular Clovennian travelogue 1,000 Nights in Candala by Iphigenie Volente arrives at Heron’s from Castyll. It details the adventures of the author and her husband in a beautiful country across the sea.
- Some bound Aurellian staff at both manors and some workers in town begin to request illness leave due to withdrawal symptoms. Influenza is suspected.
Danu Llewellyn launches his Braddon study group on Friday evening, beginning with passages from the first book of Canwyn. Meetings are conducted in Aurellian, though all are welcome.Cancelled due to the health crisis.- Dr. Rosier sets up a quarantine zone at Rosier manor to tend to the sick.
Weather: Clear skies with a strong breeze throughout the day, high of 68
- Robor Howell teaching Pinyon at the Temple on Saturday afternoon.
- This morning the flowers put up from for the Turning Festival, now mostly wilted, are found having been pulled down and stomped on, and the bower itself forcibly broken.
- The train tracks are finally fixed late in the afternoon. A rush shipment of Fade is on its way by the end of the day.
