EVENT - Spring Fling

rubycitymodsSpring has sprung, Ruby City! Yes, it's getting harder and harder to ignore the changing of the seasons lately. Snowy days have turned into rainy ones, and gradually, those have turned into sunny ones. More and more flowers of various shapes and sizes line the streets of the city, turning up in all the expected places. Birds are chirping, bees are buzzing, and whatever else they might happen to be getting up to is best left to posts a little more private than this one. Yes, Spring is here.
In keeping with the captors' fondness for seasonal events, a little Spring celebration has been sprung upon the city with no more warning than the very flowers it's themed around. ( Because who doesn't love a nice festival? )
~ In front of the library, a large and apparently bottomless wishing well has been dug, or at least a structure that resembles one has been erected. Given that Ruby City operates without currency, one will simply have to try and find some other suitable items to offer it if they'd like to try and wish for something(Please no songbirds or goldfish). But be careful! If the well deems the offering to be somehow insulting, one's wish may go somewhat awry...
* The well's abilities are considerable, as it operates under the captors' powers. While it's (thankfully) not as capricious as they are, it's still a little unpredictable.
*Wishes that grant something physical(a new bicycle, minor changes like a different hairstyle, whatever) will last even after the event has ended-- Meaning those will be permanent(at least until the character breaks their bicycle or gets a haircut, anyway).
*Other wishes, however, that grant less tangible things("I wish I was braver/more confident/multilingual") will last only until they wear off on their own or the event ends, whichever comes first.
*Wishes that grant extreme/unfortunate results(You always wanted to be a giant pigeon, right? How about the inability to speak in anything but song?) will also last only until they wear off on their own or until the event's end, whichever comes first.
*A separate IC "Wishing Well" post will be set up so that players can make wishes in it and have them answered "by the well," but once their wish has been either granted or botched they may feel free to make posts of their own, announcing it.
Happy Spring, Ruby City!
This is a CITY-WIDE event. Participation in the festival itself is of course not mandatory, but it will be going on regardless! The event will run from MONDAY, APRIL 23 until SUNDAY, APRIL 29. If you have any questions, please see the QUESTIONS THREAD in the "Comments" section of this entry. Otherwise, have fun, and thanks for playing!
