AUGUST CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hello, fairybros!
A couple of quick notes before we forge forward into the August event! As of next app cycle (September), we will be making some changes to the current app and also begin allowing NATIVE OC APPLICATIONS. These applications will have a different format than traditional applications, and will be much more vigorous in their review process, as well as have a completely separate and much shorter submission period. Native OC applications will be submitted before traditional apps, not alongside, and will only be open to individuals with a character currently in-game. We will notify the community as we release info on this in the upcoming month!
And as some of you may have noticed, we've been advancing the game's overarching plot not just through the use of the monarchs, but other in-game NPCs, PM-based special events, and other small easter eggs. We encourage individuals who have taken part in these events to PM the mod account criticisms, thoughts, and reviews of this experience or to paste them in the review area below, as there will be more of them in the upcoming months!
Also related to NPCs, here is a link to a gamewide player character NPC roster! If your character has any followers or NPCs which other player characters may *frequently* interact with, please feel free to add their details! Fairies, soldiers, footmen, servants, and more are all game! If you desire, you can even advertise your NPC as an appable native OC.
( Please read the Monthly Overview/Quick Notes and use this post for all your plotting needs! ) MONTHLY OVERVIEW
• All of the living shadows will start off approximately knee-high, and the smaller they are, the easier they are to kill.
• Each court keeps its own hounds for hunting, and characters will find the masters of the hunt all too eager to let player characters use them for the sake of hunting these mean bastards down!
• Player characters or hounds may be injured by the shadows.
• Even hounds not from the drabwurld will instinctively act to kill these shadows.
Please use this post to plot for the month and C&P the following!

The Falling of the Lawkamercyme GENRE: MYSTERY/MAGICAL | DURATION: 10-18 AUGUST |
SUMMARY The lack of the stars kept by shardholders has left the night sky more dark than usual; and it's from the sky that these small wrathful creatures fall. Most of them are only as tall as knee-height, with wide mouths full of dozens of needle-sharp teeth, and look like living shadows. They have a fondness for eating birds, any food they can get their hands on, and shoes. They'll also leave clothes and bedding in tatters. If many find each other, they will bind together to grow proportionally larger... and more dangerous. When in this form, they'll seek out the women of the court to hunt.
The fairies and imps can sometimes be caught heard shrieking "Lawkamercyme!" at them before fainting, and may be eaten if not quickly saved! If characters speak this name around them, the dark shadows will shrink a little; if several characters do it at once, the combined command will cause the shadows to vanish and the trouble to lessen. Otherwise, they seem very afraid of dogs, who will hunt them mercilessly and seem to be the only thing which can kill them beyond speaking the strange word ...

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Alexia | Anthony | Toboe
FANDOM(S): Resident Evil | Eternal Darkness | Wolf's Rain
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS:
- ALEXIA received a boon this month for being a good enough girl not to have bothered taking a star, in the form of a magical scroll that sometime in August will for now turn her into a still-very-weak Magneto. She'll be looking into the text/origin of the scroll itself but probably be keeping to herself and/or poking around in the library, but all around she's figuring she should study magic, and so any characters who've learned Drabwurld magic might be individuals she'd like to talk to.
- ANTHONY took a star and he's really not sure he should've, but he's trying to keep it to the side of his head. Now he's getting bolder, nosing around for a place he can insert himself to be of help to his fellow Seelie, preferably in a way that doesn't imply first loyalty to the monarchs for now, who he's still ambivalent towards and who he's looking for alternative authority figures/pictures of nobility over.
- TOBOE is new! First thing on his mind will simply be getting his bearings and making a few friends!
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT:
- ALEXIA's probably going to get attacked by shadowbeasts and be completely furious by the need to make a tactical retreat until the magical words and dogs facts become explicit, after which she'll happily be part of wiping them out.
- ANTHONY's going to keep up business as usual - working towards making himself semi-useful, which is probably going to involve exploring/getting more of a head for any territory that's not too far off from Caer Glaem and volunteering for any missions-of-sorts that might have room for him - which would include any shadow-hunting parties!
- TOBOE is going to be compelled to and able to effectively attack the shadows. Lady or not, if anyone could use a paw with 'em, he will most eagerly and valiantly offer his.
