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.
We can't wait to see you all subject yourselves to our whims WE MEAN start playing in our completely harmless and not-character-scarring game. Enjoy your RP!
A certain series of letters ensues, with the mysterious delivery man identifying himself as "Pitchguard Lou", and thanking Harry for his discretion in handling the matter. (Presumably this means not getting him either arrested or killed.) By way of payment and hush money, a magical ring has been included in the correspondence.
Pitchguard Lou also indicates that he's in the market for more couriers, and you, my friend, might have what it takes.
Your rewards:
A magic item:
The Ring of Fuzzibility The distant cousin of a ring of invisibility, this ring doesn't make you disappear. Instead, your outlines get blurry and vague. In bright light, a person looking at you is likely to do no more than check their glasses, but in shadows and darkness this ring does an amazing job of breaking up your silhouette and making you blend in that much better.
