In light of the recent event, the Valentine's event is going to be rather straightforward and mostly non-magical-- but don't let 'non-magical' make you believe there won't be any mischief.

At the place where the kiosks were located during the Despair Disease event, new, brightly-colored machines are present. They look very much like arcade machines decorated in soft amber-yellows and pinks and reds; romantic, like the January-through-February scrapbooking displays at Michael's Craft Store. Beside these machines are tall narrow signs that read "VALENTINES", complete with similarly gaudy designs.

Should you choose to turn the machine on, you will be able to select from a list of valentine types, select a recipient, and if you choose, replace the placeholder message with a personalised message of your own.

The available valentines are as follows (and their descriptions will read as these ICly!):

-Candygram: For friends but not quite lovers, the simple candygram. A pink card with a heart-shaped lolly pop attached. It's strawberry flavor.

-Friendgram: Sans Candy: For friends who can't have candy or simply for who you don't like enough to get candy, a similar pink card decorated with images of a little lion and a little bear being bestest buddies forever.

-Candy Heart
: A simple, elegant, pink-and-red-striped heart box with 4 chocolates inside. Your message will be on the backside of the box.

-Romantic Doves: A more serious valentine for more serious lovers. A lace heart with two little doves "carrying" a ribbon over it. Your message can be much longer, and will roll off a scroll located in the middle of the card.

-Glitterbow: For friends you hate, Enemies, or friends with a better sense of humour. Limited space for messages. A fat, seemingly harmless bow with a pull tab. When the pull tab is used as instructed, it will explode into a shower of glitter. If your recipient doesn't open it within an hour and a half of receiving it, the bow will open itself. Great fun!

In addition to the kiosks being available, more observant residents may notice that a small trolley is making rounds on the train tracks. It does not pick anyone up yet, however.

On the 13th, though, it will start to pick up passengers every day after 4pm between the 13th and 15th. It will take passengers to the east beach, where a new Boardwalk will be open, complete with prize stalls, games, small rides, and a ferris wheel. The boardwalk, reminiscent of days gone by, will be accessible every Friday-Sunday between 4pm and 2am from now on. When visited during the day or days it is closed and will be an empty ghost town-- but during its scheduled times, it will be run by the ghosts from the Summer Festival, who are eager to feed and play with the town.

An opening announcement will be given by Ikaros and Chassie, Mod schedules permitting.

Before I begin, I apologise for missing the last one of these and that this one is late! Work has been manic and left this mod totally wiped at the weekends :c I'm working on a better way to go about writing the SotC so that it doesn't happen again.

Weather

Full Weather Report | Threat Report

Coming up to the middle of February, snow is now a regular thing to wake up to. The city is regularly being coated in anything from a few inches to over a foot at one time and the more the snow falls and piles into frozen drifts the longer it takes for it to melt in the brief periods that the temperature rises above zero Celsius. While the native wildlife is still taking its time in creeping back towards the city borders, it may not be entirely unusual to see the occasional fox or young warg playing in the snow.

The rivers are still frozen, and anyone who makes it out to the lake would find that large body of water entirely frozen over as well. Great for ice skating, if you don't mind making the trip out to get there! However, the hot springs are still largely unaffected by the weather, with the steam rising from them able to be seen from the city.

City News

With the latest event that Ikaros has cast over the city, it's obvious even to those who haven't been paying attention that the general regime of the place has begun a very clear change. The seven NPCs now identified as the Virtues are the most clearly unsettled by this, but even some of the Vices, presumably created by Ikaros himself, do not seem to approve of the games the strange young boy is playing. Given the ways that it forces their hands, that's perhaps not so surprising.

Though the effects of the Despair Disease pushed many creatures away from the city they are now returning, and hunting targets are on the rise. Several wargs now may seem strangely tame when approached, though one would be foolish to assume that they won't attack simply because they're not actively attempting to do so.

Surprisingly, and maybe worryingly, one Tim Lear has been seen in the city again. Something - or someone - was restraining him from doing the kind of damage that he wrought on his last visit, or it may have been that he simply didn't want to. Tim is undoubtedly the most unstable of his kin, and his motives are fickle at the best of times. It could be that he wasn't aiming to achieve anything at all.. except for entirely unsettling one Phoenix Wright.

Since Charity was one of the winners of the first Rumour War event, the stock levels in all stores - but most notably the general store - have seen a boost. Unseasonable fruits and vegetables have made an appearance, and some people may even be able to find a few food items that they recognise from home.

Current and Upcoming Events

The next few events that come your way will be fairly low key in comparison to those that are linked in to the Rumour War. Our Valentine's event is a bit of (mostly) harmless fun, which comes hand in hand with a new location! We recommend that you take a look and ask any questions you have before it comes into play.

Down time between large events is a breather for you and for us! Feel free to continue to suggest your own player-run plots and any ideas that you'd like to see used in the game.

Miscellaneous

The Warning List for activity is now up. If you find yourself on there, don't panic! There are no penalties for reclaiming using this post.

February's test drive is also still running! There are some interesting characters up on there already, so if you're able to, please give a hand to those people who are trying to see how their character might fit into the game.
