ONE MONTH IN.

//A SINGLE CRACK LETS THE LIGHT IN.



A NEW ROOT TOWN.

A new, mysterious Root Town is now available to everyone! The only problem is that no one knows the name of this town, and the bridges that help you navigate the area appear to be a little... dangerous. Put on your toolbelts and help make things a little safer! Or don't. That works too.
PROFESSIONS.
Have you wanted to gather plants, create potions, or enhance your own armor? Well, you're in luck! The professions system has arrived, and so has a crafts festival along with it! Submit your own recipe ideas by September 1st and you'll have a chance at it becoming an official recipe everyone can make!
MORE GLITCHES.
Be careful when you log in, because you might just swap avatars with someone else. Either accept your fate and get used to your new look or coordinate logging out together.

The wind is also too strong in the new Root Town. Maybe a little too strong. Try not to get knocked over, and also try to ignore the whispers of those from your past that float along on the wind.
"HAPPY" ACCIDENTS.
For such a big new feature, professions are bound to have a few minor glitches to work out. From a full denim-clad armor set to a crystal ball, some of the items you can create are a little... odd.
A NEW QUEST APPEARS.
Think you can impress the Head Admin with your culinary skills? Then step up to the challenge! For your hard work, you'll get a chef outfit skin, and potentially a cute little Pomchi to follow you around if you really impress him! Oh, but be sure you don't do a terrible job either. Who knows what could happen?

PLOTTING

    Avatar Name: Winter
    Class: Blade Brandier

    Plans: Going to get busy IRL for the back 2/3 of the month so I'll be trying to pace myself! Depending on how that goes, Michel may be offline more due to the voices, but he'll still be checking his mail/messages without logging in if so.
    • He'll be going on a ton of dungeon runs to gather equips for crafting/avoid dealing with voices. Anyone and everyone can join him for dungeons!
    • He's a terrible cook so IDK if he'll do the Hien quest, but if anyone wants a burden who will produce something bad enough to face Hien's wrath: here you go.
    • He'll be getting into blacksmith and carpenter and probably the gathering jobs to support those. If you catch him dabbling in jeweler, no you didn't.
    • Probably needs a decompression trip to either the beach or the spa. He should also be hitting level cap soon and potentially up for PvP.
    • No specific body swap plans but if anyone wants that, it's open!

    Seeking: New and deepening CR! Dungeon buddies, other people poking at the mysteries of what's going on. Open to everything, I'd love him to make more connections of any kind.
    Offering: Gradually less stoic teasable tsundere who will help your character with games and/or say something really tactless, but he continues to be Trying. If you're out for negative CR, he can be pretty harsh if sufficiently disappointed?

reaches for you (yew) and also michel

maybe fai can catch him creating some jewelry..... or they can work on building some furniture together. do you think fai can convince michel to donate to the cause of adding to fine wine
userunfriendly: (135)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-08-27 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
YES TO BOTH... ALL??? Michel will happily help spruce up the guild, and he's also likely to use it as a crafting base in the first place (yay storage) so Fai can always catch him at his experiments.
fluorite: dnt (31)

[personal profile] fluorite 2023-08-27 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
PERFECT.... fai will just watch him work instead of doing anything himself this feels like an even exchange, right?

time to find out!
ganymed: (Maybe)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-08-27 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Some options because me staring at those all...but let me put out one of them for now so we don't do an indecisive pinging around kfmgkh:AKM

1. Gany checking up on Michel bc he's noticing him more offline than not. Even if it's a good thing to touch grass look I will never stop laughing over that meme, crying So maybe him sending a MSG straight to his inbox? I know we've still got two other threads but I figure it'll be simple not to potentially contradict anything else.

Other than that, we can potentially spitball between two ideas for later:

2. They're already doing a dungeon run in a heated area, so, you know.

3. There is the option for potential more body swap or maybe we can have them do something with one of those profession prompts if you'd be up for that? The whole 'strange item effects' fingerguns

it's so heartwarming that you think you can dodge the yew indecision loop :3c

1 is always a go! I could also set up a journal thread for this if you want Ganymede to use his personal number, either way!!

VIBRATES BETWEEN 2 & 3....... you know I want too many things. We can see how the dungeon run goes! But I'd also be up for body swap, or any of the profession prompts! Crystal ball (Breaks after one use but allows you to read another player's thoughts for five minutes.) and the mirror (Reflects the person you're most afraid of becoming.) are the easy ones with his crafting leaning but if you want Ganymede to get the janties I would never deny you.
ganymed: (I'm flying away)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-08-27 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Dodges like this...kind of.

GRABBY HANDS AT A JOURNAL THREAD FOR THIS because Ganymede would definitely immediately go for personal number times IMMEDIATELY

how about we do a mirror one because that'd be amazing

Haki I want a tradition of your character burying mine at the beach now, please literally bury one someday

I'M OMW TO YOUR TL ON STUBBY LEGS!! would Oria actually go to the beach party hangout, or should I have Michel summon him there solo like they're preparing to have a dramatic duel (sand burying)

[personal profile] dissimulative 2023-08-30 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
leo has convinced him to attend the beach party (with unlimited(????) bbq) and helping out of his own volition so yes! he'll be attending
