Full Weather Report | Threat Report
It's warm but cloudy for the most part, with high humidity causing the occasional mild thunder storm. The rain has abated, however, so the level of the river has returned to normal and the lake is no longer pushing up against the shore. Things are relatively normal for the time of year, if a little damp at times.
City News
The group of Seelie fae that have been making mischief in the city for the past several weeks appear to have been placated for the moment, thanks to the work of James Walter, who has given them something else to concentrate their attention on. They can be seen often for anyone who cares to watch, flitting to and fro from the collections of shiny knick-knacks in the small shrines that the man has left hanging up in the trees.
There is also a new bakery now open!
Several miscellaneous buildings in the city have also been destroyed by Grimmjow, in his effort to draw the attention of the NPCs. Well, he got his wish... but it didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to. Residents are free to pick through the ruins of these buildings for any salvage or simply to clean up, but rest assured that no residences or businesses were affected.
The stock in the stores seems to be shifting more towards keeping in time with the season, with the occasional patio heater making itself available for anyone to claim. Gardens will now be overgrown with flowers and busy with insect life, as well as the less dangerous fauna making its way in from the land surrounding the city. Don't be surprised to see a fox or a rabbit or two.

Current and Upcoming Events
Many apologies for the delay, but there is now an event post waiting for everyone to take advantage of! We hope that you will all get involved, in one way or another. As stated in the post itself, one aspect will be something which affects the next event being run, which will be taking place towards the middle/end of next month.
Recently, I (Fi-mod) posted on Plurk asking what kinds of bestiary events people would like to see, in the vein of the recent background event involving the fairies. There were some good suggestions! One being the disappearance of one or more individuals into the fairy realm and another being a wendigo possession, as well as others. However, I'm aware that I don't have everyone here on Plurk and that some people might not have seen it, so I would like to open the floor to suggestions! The bestiary can be found here and please don't be shy! If you're unsure, feel free to use the plot suggestions post which offers screened comments, or send us a PM.
Miscellaneous
Please remember to tag your posts! Or Dae will cry and we don't want that.
Finally! There is now a GAME CALENDAR available. There will be more added by way of events when concrete dates are set, but it is also open for use for player plots and plans! Just let us know.

a legend would be super handy!!
also, potential graphic-y thing to consider: making regular, repeating events a different color (like more transparent, greyed text for State of the City dates, to help them kind of recede in visual priority), and/or making special events brighter/bold. That way, it's easier to pick out the differences when browsing the calendars and to be immediately like "OOH this thing is VERY IMPORTANT AND COOL!!"
