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.

oh my gosh i hope that there is all the cr from teacher-sorts in her future, because it'd be a great delight.
Ah! Hello fellow library friend then, I hope your programme is going well. BUT YES start with the remains of Caer SCima and build up and build up.
no subject
Yes! I'm looking forward to that a lot. I'd like to get her to exercise her brain before potentially being taught to defend herself.
It is going well. c: Thank you! She will just have to do that, then, BEGINNING WITH THE TOME WAVER RECC'D HER TO READ.
I intend on tagging back tonight/tomorrow, and having her all into getting the downlow on the political scene here if that's good by you.
no subject
:DD We'll see where things roll, I'm sure.
HAHAHA THE ONE HE WROTE AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT ICLY (although seriously writing in-game documents is very fun.)
That sounds like an excellent plan. I'm up for two more hours tonight so I will be around.
no subject
Hopefully in a great direction!!
WOW THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. I have to wonder how much meta I'll end up writing for this game!
Where will he be located during the timeskip? I do intend for her to travel about and only be based out of Mair, so she should have plenty of opportunity to interact with him. c:
no subject
There's a good chance that some quests from Waver next month will be writing in-game docs so we'll see.
Waver's hanging out in Aghmhor along the coast (full timeskip here!), so she can definitely travel around and grab him for face time.
no subject
Allright! I think she'd like that, tbh. She's making some friends in Seelie territory, so she's going to be all over the place as much as possible.
no subject
We'll definitely get more into this during CR meme for the timeskip too, I'm sure.
no subject
For the quest, is it all right if I do it following her having to flee Caer Scima? She is going to (try) and defend it on the 7th. c:
