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.

faolan & remus
stalkkeep an eye on the guy. Also there's the matter of Lancelot's new dragon egg to keep secret/watch out for/ensure the safety of.SO the plan is for him to be on the front lines with Lancelot, and then double back to try and help with the Jabberwhelp, since he is one of the four members of the Pyrii Jabberwock Team. If all goes according to plan, he and John will be teaming up to try and strike a flame in the shadow of the Jabberwock and summoning the Pyrii to rid of it, which means 1) he has to get close enough to rot his hands/arm, woo, 2) he gets to encounter the Pyrii again, who KILLED HIM last time he saw them (THANKS BRUC), 3) he and everyone in the vicinity need to get the hell out of there as soon as that happens.
INTERACTIONS WITH HIM: I would love to have people question him over his role in all of this, as a former Unseelie turned Shardless and sworn to a Seelie master. Either approving/disapproving of it, arguing with him over it, understanding/not understanding etc. He doesn't really want to talk about the whole dying thing but Lancelot made sure the whole Drabwurld knew so THAT'S A THING TOO people can be surprised he's back, ask him questions about that, make him super uncomfortable, etc. Argue with him about the Jabberwock, argue with him about politics, confuse him by asking him questions about his dancing capabilities (looking at you Maraery), basically the sky is the limit! ALSO he and Lancelot need a lift from the Front Lines to the Station for the Jabberfight, if they can wrangle one out of anyone?
REMUS is going to be participating in the battle by defending Caer Glaem against the Jabberwhelp and anything else that might come its way. He's also going to be keeping an eye on the Citadel, because he's helped construct that and it would be awful to have something happen to it so soon. I don't have any specific plans with him beyond what the team is doing so INTERACTION WITH HIM IS ENTIRELY OPEN! He is really interested in all the different magics floating around, in aiding with his own magics, and while I wouldn't say he's a completely neutral party, he's non-judgmental about the Unseelie/Seelie thing as far as conversation is concerned. He's kind of resigned himself to the idea that this war is going to happen whether he participates or not so at least if he helps build up the defenses of the people on his side, he can minimize some of the damages.
now in the right place oops it's too cold to function right now i'm sorry :(

would you prefer in public in front of others for that or in private conversation? i have a private note/letter/something that i'm thinking of having faolan send to him at some point soon now that he's alive again, but. we can plan for this how we like, whether you'd prefer for him to keep it to himself/only mention it to lancelot/only angrily write to bruc about it/only mention it once they meet at the station, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!
he might want to punch you when he sees you though fair warning appropriate icon is appropriate
no subject
However, if Jack's up for it, Faolan is welcome to tell Lancelot 8D I'M SO EXCITED enemies enemies enemies
no subject
i think maybe with the thing i am planning he will test the waters to see how bruc responds and i'm sure that however bruc responds he won't assure him enough to make him think otherwise, AT WHICH POINT he will probably turn to lancelot :')a

faolan probably won't make an announcement bc he's faolan, but if mags wanted to find out he was back again somehow...? :|a
no subject
no subject
but he isn't quite, mostly bc waver's gone to ground, lolsob :( he'll be around on the battlefield though and then dealing with the jabberwock, so after that his return wont really be a secret? by then he'll definitely have a locket again from hermione so he'll be able to send/receive messages once more too?
no subject
Hm, however you like! Mags will be at the Station but with all the recent drops he's... not going to care much about anything for a while.
no subject
he might have a job for mags, after the battle is over, if mags is up for something? >>
