Rainbow Bridge RPG

[When you first step outside today, it might seem like it's another day for a cheesy couple-y celebration. Afterall, the first thing you'll notice is the abundance of pink everywhere.

But no, this time it isn't because of hearts anad candy decorations, the pink comes from trees. Cherry blossom trees, specifically, which seem to have multiplied overnight and are now at full bloom everywhere, covering the ground in beautiful pink blossoms.



Of course, you can't have a cherry blossom viewing without some picnics, so you'll find there's blankets and picnic baskets set out underneath the trees for anyone to enjoy.

And here and there, at the center of the various towns and cities, you'll find something else. A massive birthday cake set up in an equally massive table, decorated in white and pinks with a cherry blossom motif.

Afterall, there's a lot of birthdays to celebrate today!]

[[A CLAMP day and April 1st celebration post! Go have fun in a picnic or say hello to the birthday boys and girls. || EN ESPAÑOL! Un post de celebración por el CLAMP day y 1ro de Abril! Vayan a tener un picnic o saluden a los chicos y chicas de cumpleaños.]]

[The video shows Mokona on a tablecloth set out for a picnic at one of the parks, various white flower bouquets around her along with some boxes of white candy. She's wearing a pretty little white dress, tiny enough to fit her, along with a pretty "hair" accessory that's perched by one of her ears. She does a little excited hop, gesturing around herself with her tiny paws.]

Mokona looks pretty! And Mokona got a lot of White Day presents! [As everyone can see.] Mokona can still receive more of them today!

[The video turns to Fay, sitting near her, smiling at the camera.] Of course, that's only if people want to give Mokona anything in return for her Valentine's Day presents. [His smile might turn a little more sharp, perhaps threatening, for a second there.]

But remember, it's tradition~ [So you better spoil their little white fluffy child, or else.]

[[Little White Day post! Go spoil Mokona or have an outing of your own.]]

[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!]

[[Valentine's log! With the introduction of communicators! || EN ESPAÑOL. Post de San Valentín! Con la introducción de comunicadores]]

[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.]

[[Survival event! Go wild, literally this time. || ¡EN ESPAÑOL! ¡Evento Survival! Go wild, literalmente esta vez.]]

[The end of the year is fast approaching, and Rainbow Bridge knows it. You'll start noticing shops and buildings putting up holiday decorations, themed music playing now and then, and cafes and restaurants offering themed treats for the season.

More importantly, there'll be a big party, and everyone's invited! Over at Tourmaline City, there'll be a massive ballroom occupied for the celebration, fully decorated and filled with delicious food and drinks for everyone to share.

Of course, it's a magical invitation - you don't really have a choice. You'll show up at the ballroom, now dressed prettily for the occasion, and won't be able to leave the building until you've spent at least a good while mingling with others.



And to help socialize with other guests, you'll find a familiar plant hanging around here and there, showing up uninvited when you least expect it. Mistletoe is back to stick people together underneath it, making the people trapped kiss, hug, even slap each other and all sorts of other things.

If you find it to be too obnoxious, well, that's what the abundance of drinks are there for!]

[[Holiday party with mistletoe! Dress up those barbies and shove them together. || EN ESPAÑOL. ¡Celebración de las fiestas con muérdago! Vistan a sus barbies y pegotéenlas juntas.]]

['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.]


[[Snow & Mistletoe log! Backdated to around xmas time. Feel free to be creative with mistletoe - maybe it's asking for a long hug, or hand-holding, or a slap to the face!

EN ESPAÑOL. Post de nieve y muérdagos! Backdatteado a alrededor de la navidad. Pueden ser creativos con los muérdagos, quizá les pidan un abrazo largo, o que se tomen la mano, ¡o un cachetazo!]

[As repeatedly pointed out, we're still in the warmer time of the year, and these past days it's been impossible not to notice, with hotter and more humid days making life far less tolerable overall.

A perfect time to remind everyone there's large beaches available to them! People will get pamphlets in their mail, or find them at the hotels they might be staying at, all promoting the same place - the beaches next to Indigo Port.

The colorful papers indicate there'll be a special, one-of-a-kind treat if you choose to go there this weekend, so it might be enough to interest even those who are more reluctant, or who prefer hanging by the lake instead. Once arriving, they'll see this grand offer refers to banana boats set out for people to use!



Hey, they're still pretty fun. And even if you don't engage in banana fun, there's the sea to cool you down, the sand to rest, beach balls to play games with, and plenty of refreshing fruity drinks available at shops, all ready to make sure you still have a good time.]

[[Beach log! Feel free to mingle in other areas of the world, if your character really doesn't want to join the banana fun.
