Hiii Ruby City!

This is Ouji (yes that Ouji I am her) and hopefully I won't fail out of RC because third time's the charm, right? I'm bringing you this... tiny kid from the fighting game series Dead or Alive. Eliot's your typical high schooler who moved to China as a child and ended up being picked to be the apprentice of a legendary martial artist. Why? Nobody knows, really. He's polite and soft spoken and has a weakness for a pretty face (I wouldn't blame him though I mean have you seen the DOA ladies) also constantly trying to improve himself through FIGHTING so you might see him around the city doing that.

I can be reached at twopercent for plotting or if you just wanna chat. c: Hope to play with you soon!

Coffee bar employment and CR!

[blueblaster]

Hey everyone! With the recent State of the City update, I started thinking about that poor unmanned coffee bar and how the residents really need a place where they can get a good cup of coffee. Unfortunately Gabumon has no business making and serving coffee because he's largely coffee-ignorant. That's where your characters comes in!

I'm planning a post in a few days involving Gabumon, the bar and the space available to new residents above it. He'll take special interest in that space because he understands the need for shelter after just arriving. The coffee bar's supplies include things you would find in other stores within the city, which means it provides food as well. This bar could potentially house and feed confused and anxious newcomers and Gabumon would like to see it in working order again. He'll ask for help and that's your opening to drop in a character and help him out. He'll appreciate it because all he can really do is serve drinks/food and clean (thanks Digitamamon).

If you would like to offer your character as basically a Starbucks employee, let me know here or send me a PM. I think this is a great opportunity for new CR, both with Gabumon and with other characters as workers. We'll be bringing back an old scene for new threads. So how about it?

Drop

[professionality]

 Hello everyone.... I've come to you with the sad news that I'll be leaving the game. I don't really know if it's the muse, the setting, or the muse and the setting in combination, but I haven't really clicked with this game as much as I'd have liked to.

I'm really sorry to my castmates and especially  to Val for letting her down on our beautiful CR. I had a really good time as long as I was at this place, but I find myself unable to tag consistently now and that's not fun to deal with, for nobody.

Thanks for being awesome and take care, guys! Have a good flight, your flight attendant is getting off now.

Environment

Weather

Things are definitely warming up now, hitting a high of 71 degrees Fahrenheit at the weekend. Perfect weather for gardening! If you like that kind of thing. It’s going to be a little breezy, so the full force of the warmth won’t be too apparent, but the river is now fully thawed and there are only a few stubborn patches of ice sticking to the more sheltered spots around the lake.

Spring is showing in the local flora, with flowers (totally normal flowers!!) popping up in the park, the woods, across the plains and in people’s gardens. We promise, they’re perfectly normal.

City News

The NPCs have been quiet this past couple of weeks but make no mistake, they’ve got their eyes on all of you. It’s hard to know if Gene Jecklin or Discord were at fault for the events of April the first. It might have been one or the other. Perhaps both? Feel free to speculate.

With the weather warming up the local fauna is becoming more active, as is the local insect population. Milder days and evenings are going to come along with irritating swarms of bugs, but their bites aren’t serious. Just very annoying.

Anyone venturing into the forest will find that the dryads are awakening and bickering with their more violent spriggan brethren and deeper into the woods, the giant spiders are stirring.

In the mountains, residents might find a very irritable roc who recently had her egg stolen. She doesn’t know where it is, but if you get close enough to her she might just decide you were the one who took it. Adult rocs are large enough to pick up a small car. Be careful!

The stores are currently stocking as normal, though there is a strange oversupply of oddly patterned umbrellas.

We have some excellent player suggestions at the moment which we will be addressing with the people who have put them forward! Sorry that us mods have been a little off the radar, lately. We promise that we’re still here.

People are still backdating/tagging for the April Fools event, which is great! We’re glad you liked it.
