FEBRUARY CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hey, fairybros! As a heads up, the results of the Timeskip Vote results are in, and Eachdraidh will be engaging in a Timeskip of one year. Logging for the timeskip will be done concurrently with the events of Feb, March, and April, and as of May 01 the game will be post-timeskip. We request that each character in the game who is not going to utilise an opt-out mechanism for the entirety of the timeskip to post a timeskip page on their journal. We have constructed a sample timeskip page for you here. The code for it, with all time organisation in-tact, may be taken from the last comment on the page, or may be accessed below:
Players are free to design their own pages, of course, and it can be easily expanded to include additional years. These pages, in addition to organising what happens to your character, shall be used for logging out most of the events of the timeskip at your discretion. For March and April, threads logged on this page can be used to count for AC. We ask that most logs occur on these pages for smaller timeskip events so as not to clutter the log comms for those playing current events in February, March, and April. We will be releasing a game Timeskip Calendar shortly, which will be followed by a timeskip CR meme.
But what about THIS month? Most of you already know exactly what to expect, so, without further ado, your February event!

The Wrath of the Jabberwhelp GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 07-14 FEBRUARY |
SUMMARY The battledrums are beating, the armies are marching, and it was only a matter of time before war covered the drabwurld again. The Seelie armies received orders to push north from the Cathraon, and encounter an entrenched Unseelie force. Details about the battleplan can be found here. Please sign up for a part on the conflict, should you want one, using the roster page. The roster will be finalised by the end of February 01. But as a result of these battles, on February 07 the Jabberwhelp will be released from under Caer Scima, where the High-King had been helping to craft it! In a pain-maddened fury, the Jabberwhelp will fly to the lands of Glaschu and begin to carve a path of great destruction through Seelie lands. After its release, the monarchs will make handwaved proclamations:
Seelie characters will be bade to either 01) keep the Unseelie embattled on the front lines and unable to enter Glaschu to rescue the Jabberwhelp, or to 02) hunt and slay the infant monster by any means possible before its Unseelie allies can rescue it!
Meanwhile, from the ruin of Caer Scima, Unseelie characters will be asked to save the Jabberwhelp at any cost by either 01) engaging the Seelie army and ensuring the Seelie cannot hunt it in force, or 02 riding out into enemy territory to herd it back! They will be informed that the Jabberwhelp will actively resist harming Unseelie chracters. Characters who have maintained friendly relationships with the imps will be told the secret to calming an enraged young Jabberwhelp:
+ Gifts of lavender! For some strange reason, this plant alone resists the Jabberwhelp's aura of rot, and functions rather like catnip.
+ Riddles and puzzles! A young Jabberwhelp is easily distracted and quite gullible.
+ Touch! Juvenile Jabberwhelps cannot control their aura of rot, which is as painful for them to endure as those around them. For those who can endure the discomfort of its aura of rot, petting the Jabberwhelp can calm it substantially, and even lull it to sleep.
The Jabberwhelp has an aura of rot, which will make plants and flesh within a 30m radius of its presence begin to rot. Characters who approach will see their own flesh begin to blacken and slough away. Fleeing from the Jabberwhelp will allow this condition to slowly heal. For most characters, lingering overlong within this aura of rot will be fatal. The Jabberwhelp will actively seek to kill Seelie characters, and flee from Unseelie characters who approach it unless they have learned one of the secrets to calm it.

- ★ PLAYER NAME: Meg
- ★ CHARACTER NAME: Waver Velvet, Lord El-Melloi II
- ★ CHARACTER RANK: The Spider, ★★★★★
- ★ EVENT PLANS: Waver is laying low at Alyosha's this month but he'll be keeping up with things as they progress! He will try, when possible, to answer questions for new characters, especially if they're in need of information about what's going on.
- ★ CAN HELP OTHER CHARACTERS GET INVOLVED WITH:
φ Waver's Februrary quests are up! There are opportunities there for Seelie, Unseelie, and Team Netural folks!
φ Getting on the neutral side, although this will be a little harder to do this month as Waver's usual base of operations is closed
φ Provide background information about the past year in game, especially since he literally wrote a book on it
φ Offer information to your character that is firmly anti-court, if you want your character to have that perspective
φ Other things you may need I'm more than willing to help with, just get in touch!

Connor is brand new so he is not really in a position to take sides at all yet, despite being plopped into Unseelie, as his natural inclination is to observe before making a decision -- but ideally I would like him to be more of a neutral party as things pan out. He will be trying to hear about the conflict from all angles as quickly as possible, so maybe they could meet up eventually possibly and talk about stuff y/n
no subject
Yes, Waver would be up for this and happy to give that information! Although this actually lets me ask something important though. We actually had a Connor in game back when it first opened, and he and Waver had a very brief encounter. Would it be easier on you if I ignored that bit of continuity and start this CR afresh?
no subject
I will keep an eye out for Waver so Connor can get his info-gathering on. I'm very excited that there's a neutral court leader, waaaahh my dreams come true.....
no subject
And I'm happy to provide the opportunity for neutrality, goodness knows it creates some fun conflict in game.

If the Inquistior's still at Caer Scima, there's this handy in-game book that recaps the past year in the library.

Backdate or forward date as you need done for this one, seriously. (8|a What do you have in mind?)

My gut instinct is that Waver would love to know where Damon stands with politics, and to get a grip on what he knows about the war and the reality of it. He's inclined to send good will/resources/supplies to barons that he likes, thinks have potential, or can be useful in the future (Bruc and the skyport being the biggest example I can think of.)
no subject
Plus, he's also knocking boots with Alyosha, so I don't know where he stands on that. And I have a secret future plan for her that I can't reveal yet, but I think will change something dramatically.
no subject
Drabwurld Rider as far as he's concernedAlyosha, that should lead somewhere interesting.Okay knowing that, Waver would be reasonably comfortable giving Damon some trust with neutral things. He'd be very pleased to use his information channels to alert Damon to any incoming problems that could be headed off at the pass.

And yep, that sounds about right. My tags won't count for word count unfortunately. If you want to handwave how they both got in touch about this quest, that'd also be fine. Game mechanics are the reason!
no subject
Ah, okay. So it's like a team quest (I did one with Mally/Gendry/Jon) where only your own wordcount counts for your part of the quest. Got it. We could always say that Aly hooked them up, as she's a good enough reason as any to why they would come in contact with each other outside of the animal incident -- which they can bring up and laugh about.
no subject
Yep, exactly like the team quest! And Aly seems like a good way to handwave, or just "something floated through shared channels, boom, thing happening now."
