Well, surprise to us! We didn't expect to turn over 25 applications in 25 hours, yet here we are! To our new characters, welcome back! To our returning characters, why the heck is Valhudor so overrepresented among you
When Does It Open?
NOW.
We'll have an actual event log in the beginning of August proper, but if you want to start making open posts or getting into trouble, go for it!
Is The TDM Canon?
Absolutely, if you want it to be.
This Month In Diatu
Hail becomes a concern around this time, thanks to some peculiarity of air currents and ocean evaporation up here on the floating island. Luckily, hailstorms are brief when they appear, but inevitably sudden and fierce for their short lives. Woe be unto the student who fails to protect themselves with a suitable shield when they spend any time out of doors!
Professor Ire has been the victim of mean-spirited but harmless pranks that truly represent just how harmless he is, considering the capabilities he surely has to address such pranking. In fact, the student body seems to be very slowly coalescing into pro-Ire and anti-Ire factions.
Bala-inlota Tryouts begin once classes are in swing. You may or may not be entered into them voluntarily; Captain Lominia is not exactly known for respecting consent when it comes to her student teams. Older students might trade or sell you the location of good places to hide from her.
This Month In Anastara
A Sphinx In Training has set up shop down by the docks, laying out on a large comfortable rug and challenging passers-by to riddle contests. None of the riddles are terribly original; the Sphinx explains she is more interested in studying the body language of her victims than in defeating them. She also promises she won't eat you if you get the riddles wrong, and thus far, no one has appeared to claim she has eaten them. On the other hand, she occasionally veers out of the acceptable sorts of riddles to launch scavenger hunts and quirky challenges, in order to see just what people will do under the guise of a riddle contest.
Adventures
As detailed on our Adventures page, you may sign up for an adventure by responding to the appropriate comment on this post. We will respond with your adventure setups as time and creative energy allow.

"In all my years, never have I seen the breath of a flower," the Sphinx says, watching you closely. In other words, bring her that to solve her alleged riddle.
"You wouldn't see the breath of a flower, as it's Carbon Dioxide, an invisible gas. That's the literal answer, but I suspect you seek a different answer. Would you prefer the flower" Where Loki produces an illusion of Baby's breath in his hand. "As an answer? This is Baby's breath."
[Loki is better at riddles than the mun. But I'm trying. :) ]
The sphinx nudges a paw at you. Go get the real thing. Go. Shoo. And good luck finding the stuff around here. Maybe get together with some friends, possibly make an adventure out of the request!
