Rainbow Bridge RPG

[The days have been colder and colder lately, but today's scenario will feel abrupt even for those who were already stocking up on blankets and warm sweaters. From early on in the morning, and for a few long days, everything will be white, covered in fluffy snow. Did you live in a comfortable house somewhere? Well, surprise, your homes have all changed to smaller cottages scattered here and there, in the middle of the snowy scenery. And they'll be pretty empty inside, as well.

You might want to head out and gather supplies somewhere, especially wood to start fires so you don't freeze to death. But during the day, a blizzard will happen and make it difficult to find your way around again!



It'll be a good time to team up with others and use your skills (magic does still work, this time) to reach home and stay warm for the next couple of days. Watch out at night, especially, when monsters from the forests and swamps might come lurking around!]

[[Blizzard post! Go cuddle in the middle of the storm.]]

[Now that everyone's had a chance for a nice meal, a hot shower and plenty of rest in comfortable beds, it's time for a little celebration. It's Valentine's Day! And Rainbow Bridge won't let anyone miss that, with cute and colorful decorations showing up all over the place.

Hearts, ribbons, flowers, teddy bears, and candy motifs everywhere you look, shops will carry relevant items for the occasion, if you want to have a romantic day or show a friend your appreciation. However, it won't be all that happens.



Whenever you're close to someone you appreciate in some way, a valentine's day card might show up! To save you the trouble of getting your own, have magically generated cards available. They'll have a feature where they read what's written on them out loud, so everyone can know how you really feel!

And this time, you might be sharing it with even more people. After the world changed again into its normal form, everyone was given something new - a communicator. These cute smartphone-like gadgets can show both text and video, and they're linked to everyone else's communicator! You can send a private message to a single person, or broadcast something for everyone to see!]

[Forget about any plans you had for the following days. Whatever you had in mind, it'll all be postponed as the entire world changes. That's right, starting today and for a couple of weeks, the entire land will shift and change into something else - a deserted island.

Surrounded by the sea, and hosting a large jungle in the middle, you'll wake up to find yourselves in what's seemingly the middle of nowhere, on this empty island you'll now have to survive in. Gone are the usual comforts of hot water and easy meals, and instead you'll have to hunt and build your own shelter to survive the days and nights here.

To help you out with this task, you'll have a few things available. Scattered nearby when you wake up in this new land, you'll find knives, backpacks with a few extra clothes, some rope, buckets, and a few other utensils. Those who already owned guns or swords can keep them for the time being, although magic powers won't be working for the duration of the scenery change. If you venture into the jungle, you'll find a few abandoned huts, with some repairs needed to be usable but better than the sand outside.




It's probably a good time to team up with others, combine forces to make the best of a less than ideal situation. While there's fish to catch in the sea and in the lakes inside the island, and wild animals to catch everywhere, the night will bring out predators, and you want to be ready to protect yourselves.]

[Tonight, you might've been already asleep, comfortable in your own bed (or coffin - we don't judge). Or maybe you were staying up late, busy with various things or simply hanging out for a while. Either way, you'll now find yourself asleep, in a bed. A bed that might not be your own. It might be an abandoned bed in one of the many empty hotel rooms, varying in comfort levels, or even in a room at the Crimson Keep, if you're unlucky enough.



And of course, you'll have company. People will pair up in beds across the world, to wake up next to friends and strangers alike. A perfect way to start up a conversation, wouldn't you say? Which you'll have to do, as the world's magic won't let either of you leave the bed until you've at least chatted for a while. It's all about interactions here, and you can't just leave your bed companion to be bored during the time spent with you. It's simple manners, okay. And to help things along, you might find that bowls with snacks appear, ready to be shared by the two people in the bed. It's like your own mini pijama party of two.]

[[Bed ninja event! Pair up and be as awkward or as flirty as you'd like. || EN ESPAÑOL. ¡Post de camas! Emparéjense y sean tan awkward o flirty como quieran.]]

[It's June, and this, at least in certain areas of the multiverse, means it's Pride Month! To celebrate what might be an inexplicable celebration to many travelers, there'll be decorations showing up here and there in various common areas, like the reception, hotels, cafeterias, etc.

Of course, seeing rainbow parafernalia in Rainbow Bridge might not mean much to anyone, right? But there'll also be little themed flags available to purchase, as well as pronoun pins and flag badges here and there, some even in the leftover baskets from the spa day, lying around ready for anyone to grab one for themselves.



But what if you still don't understand the meanings? Well, certain people - random travelers, or some residents - will have a role assigned these days as "Pride Expert", carrying a badge with that name on their clothes as they use their expertise to clear any doubts anyone might have. You're not an expert and you got stuck with a badge still? Too bad! Try to figure out some answers as you go! You don't want to ruin Pride afterall, do you?]

[[Pride-themed log! Grab a queer flag and some decorations, or become a designated expert on the subject to be questioned about it by others. || EN ESPAÑOL. Post del Orgullo! Tomen una banderita queer y algunas decoraciones, o vuélvanse un experto asignado en el tema para que les pregunten los demás.]]

[Effects of previous days might've vanished by now, but still, today won't be your luckiest day. Today there's an eclipse in the sky, and to those who are more used to magical worlds, it might be a more obvious sign that something will inevitably go wrong.

As the night falls, certain areas will become busier - forests and swamps where creatures crawl will see their numbers suddenly rise, and these extra animals and monsters need somewhere to go.

Even if you're in a safer area, you might run into one of them. Maybe something as harmless as a a deer, or something much more sinister waiting for you outside your house, walking into stores, in the various routes, even within lakes and the sea.

So watch out, because this will be a very long night.]

[[Invasion log! Time to test those charms for those who have them!]]

[A few days after the unusual cold wave, the summer starts to make it’s comeback. Lately it’s been a lot hotter so staying by the beach seems like a good idea to make it through the day– and part of the night too, because even then the temperatures don’t leave a reprieve.

This night, though, it’ll be a little different. As soon as it gets dark, it’ll be noticeable that the sea doesn’t look the same as always.



Any movement on the water, be it the waves or fishes or people stepping in, will make the water shine. Even those who might be wary of it at first might soon notice that it appears to be quite harmless. Maybe it’s some kind of magic that keeps this warm night filled with light, maybe it’s some kind of strange lifeform in the water itself. Either way, it makes for a beautiful sight.

Once the night has settled, some small clouds begin to gather. It’s just a drizzle, not enough to push people back inside, but it’s enough to make the sea light up even further.]

((shiny beach post, just because it looked pretty. spanish version to be added soon.

EDIT: now this points counts for february-march AC!))

['Tis the season.

The season for arrivals.

Such as snow, for example. Well, it's technically not the season, given it's summer, but at the same time it's the holiday season, and so it's definitely the season for it. It doesn't matter if you try to argue against this perfect logic, because in any case the snow will arrive - a subtle frost first, then a solid white blanket covering it all. From the mountains in the Crimson Woods to the prairies near Sunset Village, but particularly around the south, at Tourmaline City and the port areas; roofs, pathways, parks, ponds and gardens will turn into a winter fantasyland, ideal for snow angels, sliding on sleighs, skating.... or simply staying home, cursing the weather from within a blanket coccoon. In fact, if you were lacking winter clothes in your closet, it's a great time to go stock up in stores, which will temporarily carry coats and scarves. Or you could just grab hot chocolate that will be sold around every corner. Or maybe join in on the holiday cheer and hang fairy lights or garlands, set up a colorful tree in your home, even buy some last-minute gifts.



But that's not all that will be arriving, although this other visit might not be as obvious. It will start sneakily creeping up some tree branches, hanging from unaware lintels, even showing up floating above the heads of careless victims, until it achieves its goal. This tenacious invader of green leaves and red fruits won't disappear until those underneath it do the traditional kiss, so you better watch your surroundings. It's mistletoe season too, afterall, and these are as magical as they are capricious.

Will that be all that arrives? Maybe. Christmas and New Year are coming up, so these days will have many different things approaching at high speed.

Perhaps somewhere out there, there's a boat, approaching slowly but surely across the sea, and some music that can be heard stronger and stronger at a distance... What is it?

Well, you'll know when it arrives. But most likely it's nothing short of all your dreams come true.]
