And That's Final!

Spring is in full effect, flowers are blooming, the farms have gone into overdrive to get ready for the summer and fall harvest. The weather starts with a light chill in the morning before the sun is shining bright by midday. It's not too hot, not too cold, and all sorts of people are opting to spend more time outside. Meanwhile, the students have been under a LOT of stress as school finals are ending! Yadah University and Minarai invite you all onto the campuses to see just what the students achieved before school lets out for the summer!

Yadah University has a couple of booths set up here and there, some on sciences and the inventions they made. A particular group of science students are super excited to explain their backstory and why they created their various inventions. In the middle of the quad, there's a stage where the arts and music students are performing. You're welcome to be an audience member, or, if it's an improv group, you might very well get pulled up on stage to help with the skit!

But the most popular booths of all are the magic booths. Yadah University is the only school that teaches practical magic, and the big ticket for this semester?

NON-MAGICAL ANIMAL TRANSFORMATIONS!

Yes, that's right, either with a wave of their wands or hands, a spell incantation, or standing in a magic circle with interesting drawings and ruins, you will be turned into an animal that most aligns with SOME aspect of your personality. Maybe you're incredibly relaxed and get turned into a bearded dragon! Maybe you can't even rub two brain cells together and are turned into a jellyfish. Maybe you're as sly as a fox or as loyal as a dog! No matter what you get turned into, for the next 24 hours, you are painlessly turned into an animal.

Now, while that is all well and good for those who volunteer to be transformed, well, these ARE students, and so there are varying degrees of success. In THEORY, you should be able to transform back and forth as you please and communicate with those around you... again, in theory.

In reality?

Weellll, there's bound to be some mishaps. Some people may not be able to transform back AT ALL, some may not be able to communicate, some only have PARTS of their body transformed, like the mane of a lion instead of your hair or the wings of a parrot instead of your arms. Some may have shrunk you down to the size of a mouse, but not changed anything else about you! Or maybe every time you sneeze or hiccup, you're forced to transform. Maybe you change back and forth due to hot or cold water being poured on you! Magic is really tricky!

Worst of all! You may have been shot with a stray spell and turned into an animal, whether you wanted to or not! Super sorry about that! But don't worry, no matter the level of mastery, it all wears off in 24 hours, and all of it is a painless transformation, so at least there's that. Well... at worst, 72 hours. But that's it! They promise!

Maybe hearing that a stray spell might strike you causes you to steer clear of Yadah University. Well, why not visit Minarai?

Minarai High School has its end-of-the-year Sports Day Festival! There are booths selling food from the Home Ec. classes, face painting from the drama class students, if you are feeling unsure of where to go or what to do, the Student Council is happy to show you around the school as guides! On more than one occasion, you may notice that certain booths will need help here and there. Maybe they need an extra hand in painting faces or selling baked goods, maybe you're asked to help watch over Minnow students and toddlers to allow parents to partake in some of the other activities! Speaking of some of those activities, there are all sorts all over the school.

There are your typical games: like the three-legged race, the egg-balancing race, the wheelbarrow walk race, the baton-pass race, water-balloon toss, the 100-meter and 200-meter dash, tug-of-war, a riddle scavenger hunt through the school, and other typical activities you might find. There are, however, also unconventional activities! Like the Inflatable Hamster Ball Obstacle Race in the gymnasium! For a REAL challenge, there's even THE ULTIMATE OBSTACLE COURSE! that has been set up in the center of the school's track-meet field.

But perhaps you don't want to be anywhere near the schools. There is a much more peaceful option available to you.

Sunset Memories

All throughout the Main Hub and Outer Rim, you will hear the locals talk about how "it's been 13 years!" As well as posters featuring a reminder to "camp safely and responsibly when viewing," whatever that may mean.

As it so happens, there are just rows and rows of charter buses set up near the Farmlands with lots of people getting on, putting camping gear in the storage compartments, and giant backpacks as well. Why?

For the Sunset Awakening, of course!

That's probably not all that informative (because it isn't), but if you do happen to go, get ready for a once-every-13-years phenomenon! After hours and hours and hours and hours on the bus, driving past the Farmlands and through the smaller mountain range that sits at the edge of the Farmlands, you will arrive in a desert.

It is immediately clear that this desert is more or less uninhabited by Iyashikei residents. However, there is a sense of... memory all over. Maybe you suddenly feel more nostalgic, maybe you suddenly feel more reflective. It's like the very sands and trees hold something within them... but... what?

There aren't any airships that fly overhead, and outside of the Ranger Outpost, this is a place left untouched. Once the buses drop you off, you're shown to the designated temporary campsites. The rangers there are happy to welcome you, so long as you are respectful of the desert. The Rangers go over the rules and expectations at the campsites, your standard fare about throwing out all your trash and food scraps in the correct bins, being mindful about fires, and respecting nature and other campers. If you don't have the correct tools and gear, thankfully, they have spares and backups. All of this is very confusing, but there is excitement in the air. There's plenty of talk about "hoping one lands on them."

Lands on them?

As it would happen, every 13 years for exactly one month and one month only, there is a rather ethereal magical creature that emerges. Just as the sun is setting, tens of thousands of fuzzy Sunset Moths will come up from underneath the sands of the desert, climbing up the trees and unfurling their white wings under the light of the setting sun. The moths seemingly catch the colors of those last rays of light in their wings, and the wings go from white to beautiful pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, greens, purples, and any number of combinations.

The ground and trees become practically covered in these moths as they breed and lay their eggs in the sand. The sky is a constant artificial sunset as they fly through the air. There are all sorts of predators that come out to enjoy the feast, but that's not why people are here.

If a Sunset Moth lands on you, and there is a very good chance it will, considering how many there are, the Sunset Moth will leave a trail of glittery dust along the skin and restore a lost memory or feeling. The memory or feeling may be sweet, it may be sentimental, it may be bittersweet, or it may remind you of happier times. The memory or feeling is always, in some way positive, at least in some fashion, even if those memories or feelings might be in short supply for some.

The Sunset Moths are a reminder of the temporary nature of everything, living only for a couple of weeks after they emerge from the sand. Once the month is over, the buses return to take everyone back. The desert is protected land; it's not meant for those brought to Iyashikei to inhabit.

Weather Wise

While Iyashikei is usually a very warm and welcoming place, as the month of May starts drawing to a close, there is a distinct sense of... nervousness? Worry? Fear? At least something bordering on concern as the month continues.

Why?

Well, the immediate answer is that June is the rainy season, and Iyashikei is filled with canals and waterways. While some flooding is to be expected, it's best to be overprepared rather than caught off guard. But there is... something a bit unusual about their answer. There's the sense that something more is under the surface but any attempt to get a more in-depth answer is met with just concern about how bad things can get and trying to use any sort of magic or abilities doesn't get them to open up any further.

So it's time to get weather-wise! There's no telling how bad it will be this year! So all of Iyashikei is getting involved, as it so often does. There's waterproofing the roofs and walls of homes. You can help by filling up hundreds and hundreds of sandbags. There's making first aid kits for anyone who is a new arrival, or going from home to home and helping make sure everyone has what they need. You can help by cleaning up the pathways along the canals so that when they flood, trash and dirt don't get in the water. In some homes, you can help by moving furniture upstairs, reinforcing windows, and taking inventory of how much clean water they have. Houseboats should have their hulls checked.

Head to the docks and beaches to help make sure the boats are secured and tied up tightly. Go to the Farmlands to make sure pens and stables are leak-proof. YOU will be asked if you're prepared for the rains as well! Do you have sensible rain boots, rain coats, a strong umbrella, a first aid kit, do you have enough food, medication, and anything else you might need? You don't? Better go get them while you're still dry and the paths are clear. No, no, no, residents will insist. You may have experienced serious rain or even hurricanes back home, but not like this, not like here.

And... there's that fear again.

Well, better to be safe than sorry, everyone will insist! Besides, everyone always needs a first aid kit in their home anyway! Even minor flooding can be inconvenient, to say the least. Truly, all of Iyashikei is getting ready, as if holding its breath because as soon as June hits?

The rains will begin...


MOD NOTE: June will be a unique event month and so the effects from that event will be added here in the TDM once the month of June starts.

A Kindly Curious Question

There are several little beeps, or depending on whether you've begun customizing it, maybe a little song instead starts to play on your Glimmer. A little envelope notification appears and does a little wiggle. Should you open this, a cute little message appears:


Hello hello Iyashikei!

This is the monthly Kindness Curious Question (K.C.Q.)! What is something you’d love to learn about? Answer honestly to get your sticker!

Answer honestly on the Glimmer and you'll get your K.C.Q. Digital Sticker! It will immediately go into your K.C.Q. digital sticker album folder on your Glimmer.

What's the point, you might ask? Well, when you open that sticker and press on it, the little sticker will help you make a difficult task feel less complicated. To be clear, it doesn't make the task EASIER, just gives you more confidence to handle it.

Questions

[iyashikeimods]

[celebrateourvictory]

regarding animal transformations - does that only apply to real animals, or can they also turn into/gain the traits of fictional ones too, like dragons and unicorns?

[lilyoftheark]

Regarding the animal transformations, how "realistic" do the animals have to be? For example, I'm thinking of turning Maria here into a hedgehog from the Sonic universe, which are...heavily stylized, as we all know. Would that be allowed, or would she be more like a real hedgehog, or maybe more like an Animal Crossing hedgehog?

Jayce Talis | Arcane | OTA

[boyofprogress]

!! threads may contain spoilers for season two of arcane, please comment spoiler preferences in your tags !!

i. arrival
Of course he'd said yes. There had been a burst of light, a ringing in his ears, and then... nothing. Not even Viktor, who he'd clung to in those final moments. He was everywhere and nowhere at once, and then... an owl? Offering him a fresh start, a chance to help. To do some good, which by all the gods was all he ever wanted to do.

So he took it. And now, here he is, in a strange new world, standing on the sidewalk and trying to take it all in. He looks a little tired, a little disheveled, dressed in something almost like a military uniform. On his left leg is a complex metal brace, suggesting some sort of injury or ailment. Please feel free to interrupt his daydreaming.



ii. sunset memories
As he's adjusting to what appears to be his new home, it feels wise to explore. To learn as much about this place as possible, as soon as he can. So he takes one of the packs and rides out to the deserts with the busses full of people. And... oh. It's actually very peaceful out here. Away from the buzz and bustle of a city. He hasn't been out in nature like this since he was very young.

He sits off by himself, watching the sky seem to move as the moths start arriving. A few do land on him, and he inhales sharply as a memory hits him. He smiles, though if you look closely, there are tears in his eyes.



iii. weather-wise
Everyone he comes across seems anxious about something. The rains, they said. Well, if people need help battening down the hatches to prepare for some sort of storm? Jayce is there. He's good with a hammer, you'll find him around hammering boards on windows or reinforcing rooftops. He'll move furniture, he'll sweep the streets. Anything and everything he can do to feel useful.

[nothing hitting your fancy? throw an idea at me, or hmu on plurk at wherethefigslie

i; oops i brought spoilers anyway

[hexcrafter]

-hard to find the right variety of parts anywhere else. Na shledanou, same time next week.

[Casual unfamiliar words, spoken in a familiar voice as a gaunt and pale man stepped out of Gadgets and Gizmos with a thin smile and small wave over his shoulder. Adjusting a bag hanging off his shoulder as the door closed behind him, Viktor's crutch clicked against the ground as he took a few uneven steps away from the shop-]

[-and then stopped so abruptly he nearly tripped, honey-gold eyes widening in surprise before immediately narrowing in a mixture of confusion and uncertainty. Of course, he would know this person on sight no matter how he might change. Viktor would know him as innately as one knew their own name--the other half of a singular dream to make the world a better place.]

[But oh, something was wrong here--for an instant, Aqua talking about differing time periods flashed through the back of Viktor's mind as sharp eyes darted across his partner's face, the exact shape of his silhouette, the brace on his leg-]

...Jayce?

['Who' was not in question for any length of time in Viktor's mind, but a thousand other things certainly were. Because how could Viktor have even begun to understand the sheer madness that had transpired only a short time ago for one of them, as human as he still was? The violet augmentations of the Hexcore, the arcane-corrupted gold in his hair, opaline wild magic in his eyes, the warped and twisted form of an eight foot tall monster--all of it was gone, or more precisely had yet to exist. The only thing standing in front of him now was Viktor, organic and mortal with a look of deep concern rapidly spreading across his face.]

[He took a step forward in that same familiar asymmetrical tap-taptap, free hand raised just slightly as if he wanted to reach out and was not sure how. Physical touch had never quite been his area of expertise, even though accepting it had become second nature.]

What happened to you? How long has it been?

i, don't care about spoilers

[basedas]

[Unfortunately for Jayce, as he stands there, staring off into the city... immediately behind him, there is a white-haired girl wearing a cat-ear headband.]

Do you mind? You're in the way, and I wanna hit the noodle place before the lunch rush.

iii. (And spoilers are fine!)

[selfreliar]

[It's the brace that tips Aqua off. He's gotten used to the sight and particular sound of another one quite like it. He pauses in the street clean-up he's been helping with, staring at a man he sort of recognizes from someone else's memory. Then he asks for a moment off from the volunteer in charge and approaches carefully.

Aqua clears his throat.]

Excuse me.

[This close, he's sure of it. He looks older, but this is definitely Viktor's partner.]

Are you Jayce Talis?

Fluttershy | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls | Current Player

[shiningkindness]

A. Non-Magical Transformation

Despite her love for animals, Fluttershy wasn't sure about turning into one herself, and instead stood back while others gave it a try. Eventually, though, it became apparent that the spell that the students used wasn't working quite right.

Finding someone who seemed stuck in the animal transformation, Fluttershy asks, "Are you feeling okay?" She isn't sure if the transformation affects their ability to communicate, but fortunately even if it does, she should still be able to understand them.

B. Sunset Memories

"Oh wow...!" Fluttershy breathes as she watches the moths take to the sky. "They're beautiful!"

As the moths flutter around, Fluttershy holds a hand out, and one lands on her finger. She watches the trail of glitter along her skin, sees the color reflected on the wings of the moth, and finds herself thinking - as she often does - of her friends back home. A small, wistful smile spreads across her face, before she holds her hand up again to let the moth fly away.

C. Weather Wise

As the end of the month approaches, the anxious feeling from the natives is hard not to feel, which only makes Fluttershy worried as well. She helps out wherever she can, especially in the farmlands to make sure that the animals will be safe during the upcoming floods.

With the residents' warnings and advice, Fluttershy also makes sure to stock up on supplies, going around town shopping for things that might be necessary. It really would be better safe than sorry.

D. KCQ

Does that mean new topic that we'd like to learn about? Or a new skill that we'd like to learn how to do?

I think I'd really like to learn how to paint.

E. Wildcard

(( Want to do something different with Fluttershy? Go for it, or hit me up at usamichan13 to plot something! ))

[exexarch]

Quite alright, why do you ask?

[G'raha hasn't actually been affected by any wayward magic. Nay, you just happened to come across an honest to goodness Catboy, Fluttershy.]

Amy Rose | Sonic the Hedgehog | Current Player

[pricklybloom]

A. Sports Day Festival

Hearing about the sports festival and deciding that sounded a bit more interesting, Amy heads over to Minarai to take a look. She's immediately swept up in the energy of it all, participating in many of the games and races (and trying not to beat the other racers... too badly). But she also helps out at some of the booths that need an extra hand, particularly ones that are selling baked goods.

But hearing about what's at the track-meet field has Amy especially excited. Glancing at the closest person, she says, "Hey! Wanna run the obstacle course with me?"

B. Sunset Memories

While Amy does love adventure and excitement, a bit of quiet is always nice too. A part of her wishes she had her own car to take to get there, but once she's out in the area it's peaceful enough that she doesn't entirely mind.

When the moths emerge and fill the skies, Amy can't help a smile of her own and sits back to just watch and relax. When one moth lands on her head, she finds herself thinking back to some of her past adventures back home.

"...things have really changed a lot since then."

C. Weather Wise

It's hard not to notice the residents' fear about the possible flooding next month. So of course Amy has to help out wherever she can, filling up sandbags and putting together first aid kits, and getting one for herself. She also helps move furniture in people's homes, and making sure people have enough supplies stocked up.

And it's not just residents she's checking on, as she approaches and offers a first aid kit, "Hey! Make sure you have one of these in your residence!"

D. KCQ

Well, I love to bake, but I'm not really good at doing those fancy decorations. So I'd love to learn how to make those!

E. Wildcard

[basedas]

[Enchant is of two minds here. First of all: Oh my gosh, it's another hedgehog-person, and this one's pink. She doesn't understand the biology, but she understands they're so cute and she wants to pet one.

But on the other hand, this hedgehog girl is asking her a question. And Enchant is, what we could call, not particularly strong. Or fit. Or in shape. Girl is made of twigs. Exertion is not something she enjoys unless she can cheat.]

Absolutely not. I'd keel over ten steps in.

[... so she's exaggerating some, probably.]

Homura Akemi | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Current Player

[to_save_them_all]

Non-Animal Transformation

A) [Homura didn't know why she wanted to participate in such silly events, but the people here decided that she should. She guessed they wanted to see the recluse get out more and more.

Hey, let her take her time!

However, when the spell was done, Homura watched as nothing changed...

Save for her arms, which now sported large wings.]

...what? My arms...?

B) [Or perhaps Homura didn't go to the show and idly wandered around. Of course, she seemingly didn't appear anywhere else...

...that's because where Homura stood there's now a pile of empty clothes and hidden inside them is a shrunken Homura.]

I'm not leaving.

THE ULTIMATE OBSTACLE COURSE

[Homura looked at the massive inflatable course before her and blinked. So large, so long, so... bouncy.

This is why she'll turn to you, taking your hand.]

Race with me.

Weather Wise

[Homura can sense the fear permeating from the people here. This rain is not like what she's used to. Something's appearing and that's not good. But, she's not going to let that hold her back. If they need help, she'll give it to them. But, she can't do it alone.

She'll approach someone and take their arm.]

Help me out.

Wildcard

(OoC: Wanna do something else? Hit me up here or poke me at AshBlaze!)

Obstacle course.

[exexarch]

[G'raha Tia had been taking in the sights of the obstacle course, so he's taken quite unawares when a Doman-looking girl takes him by the hand. His cat-like ears flick back in surprise.

Not that he's against playing a game.]

I warn you, we Miqo'te are noted for our agility.

A.B.A | Guilty Gear | OTA

[quirkynote]

[cw: occasional blood imagery in icons]

A. Non-magical Animal Transformation

[A.B.A isn't having a great time. When she agreed to help, she kind of assumed Paracelsus would be coming along with her. They've only been tethered together for the past several years, the idea that they would be separated just didn't occur to her. So now here she is without her emotional support husband, stumbling along in her uncertainty, terrified of everything. Any bit of confidence she normally pretends to have is now lost without her precious Paracelsus by her side.

She's heard talk about somewhere with magic and science... Magic is pretty mundane back where she's from, so the excitement over it is about on par with people jumping up and down over a lightbulb. That said, as a science experiment herself, she finds herself curious and wonders if she can find any source of comfort in this...event. Instead, she gets a school, crowded with people and only further spiking her anxiety. A.B.A already acts like a scared animal anyway, so maybe that's why one of the stray spells seems so eager to find her.

It happens quickly. Where once was a woman covered in bandages, now was a tiny weasel also...covered in bandages. A.B.A already found the crowd intimidating, but now everyone was HUGE and all the more scarier. A.B.A scrunches her new noodle body up as she tries to get in between some booths, her fur bristling and her teeth bared.]

Back! Stay back! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!!

[I mean, she won't, but she'll definitely bite.]

B. Weather Wise

[A.B.A can't say she cares much about the weather or everyone's rising concerns. As someone who was traveling by foot before all this, dealing with what nature had to throw at her was just something she did. When she heads to the beach, it isn't to help, but rather stare out at sea for her own benefit. If you were to ask her if she's prepared for the rain, A.B.A can only return such worries with a look that can only be described as scrungled. Does this look like a woman who takes care of herself???

Someone please at least get her a rain coat.]

C. KCQ

[As a homunculus, A.B.A tends to just...pick up skills faster than the average person. She already has a wealth of knowledge, too, thanks to reading book after book back when she was locked up in her creator's mansion. It goes without saying that she totally misunderstands the question.]

I'd like to learn who, specifically, is responsible for separating me from my dear husband.
I'd like to learn the best way to kill them.
Disgusting, vile homewreckers. I can't stand them. Guilty. Guilty of the sin of...homewrecking.

I'll accept my sticker now.

[WHAT ABOUT ANY OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH KINDNESS??]

D. Wildcard

[idk want to do anything else? Plot with me at Gesomon]

A.

[lilyoftheark]

[This really is a predicament, isn't it? Maria had hoped to look around the school grounds and get a feel for the science and robotics courses offered, since she really wants to attend school regularly as she would never get the chance to otherwise, but...boy do thing just Happen™. Thankfully the burst of magic that effected her wasn't damaging in any way, but it sure did, uh... Have a bizarre effect on everyone it struck, including herself.

As far as she can tell, she's become some sort of half-hedgehog, half-human (a furry anthro, thank you very much), with slightly pointy ears, a tail, small claws, and her hair is literally spines and bristles. She's also covered in some soft, thin fur as well. Either way, she slowly tries to wrangle some of the people who've become actual animals, especially small ones, and she crouches down by where Aba has hidden herself, giving her ample room to run off if she wishes, but also trying to be as nonthreatening as possible.]

Hey...it's going to be alright. No one's going to hurt you. I certainly won't. I've been changed too, see? I just want to get you somewhere safe, so no one will step or trip over you.

You Ain't Nothin' But A Cakehound

[ You didn't think Hollyberry could get any cuter and/or smaller? FOOLS!

Around the university is the sound of her joyful laughing... but it's no longer coming from the regal Queen Mother Cookie. No, it's coming from an even TINIER creature - a cakehound! Running on all fours with her tongue laughing out, Hollyberry appears to be enjoying the experience, at least?

Yip yip! Yip yip!

[ ... it may be hard to tell if that's all she can say right now, or is she's just pretending for the experience. ]

Cookies Just Wanna Have Fun

[ HELL YEAH OBSTACLE COURSE!!! She's having the time of her life out here - despite the course being MUCH harder for her, since she's so small... but maybe that's WHY it's so fun for her? For all the sweat and exhaustion she builds up, she never gives up! ]

Ha ha ha! Now this is a work-out! I'm starting to feel ten years younger! Come, may the next part be even more difficult!

[ On the flipside, maybe she's on the sidelines, cheering for you! Even if you're a complete stranger! ]

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU'RE ALMOST THERE! YOU'VE BEEN DOING WONDERFULLY! I KNOW YOU CAN REACH THE FINISH! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Abigail Freidkin | Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom | OTA

[knotsowicked]

I. ARRIVAL;

[Abigail is in a bit of a funk to start with. Yes she wanted to help, of course she wanted to help! An owl, asking her for help?! And no one of Raven's magical constructs either? She couldn't say no to it really but just as she was saying, "I wouldn't mind helping but I've got a family and--"

Well, there was no completing that sentence. Instead she was plopped straight into the City Hall Main Chamber, coughing and spluttering and waving frantically at the air to shoo away all the glitter and smoke. With one eye cracked open as she does so her expression is first befuddled and then pissed.]

I told you I have a family! How dare you take me away from my precious Blanche!

[Well and her husband too of course, she loves him but her daughter though.]

II. FESTIVALS;

[Abigail has managed to calm down, fill out a bunch of paperwork to go back home hopefully and been sent out to try to enjoy herself until the paperwork is submitted. She can only imagine when that will be thought, things like paperwork rarely went off without a hitch in the modern world at least.

For now she's wandered to Minarai High School's end-of-year Sports Day Festival! The nostalgia is intense and at first she's just happy to go through the booths only to come out with a plate of funnel cake and a bright rainbow painted on her left cheek.

Then she happens by the toddlers and children section. The funnel cake is utterly forgotten so she can wash off her hands and go in to coo and look sappy over all the kids.

The eyes! The sweet faces! Abigail's pleased expression in the moment is blinding and it's clear she just adores the kids.]

Look at all of you! Oh gosh this is giving me so many design ideas.

III. SUNSET MEMORIES;

[While Abigail wouldn't say she was exactly fond of insects she certainly can't hate these. Not when the sight of tens of thousands of them makes her freeze in place and watch them with wide eyes.

The first one to land on her does so on one of her long strands of hair. When she reaches to brush it away she brushes against it and feels the quick zing of a feeling and a memory unbidden bubbling to the surface, making her pause again before a warm smile rises up on her lips. It's accompanied by the dash of a flush as she brings her hand carefully up to her chest.]

Was that because of the moth?

[Her smile widens in wonder.]

How nice. I could get used to this sort of insect.

IV. K.C.Q!

I'd love to learn about what fashions are popular in everyone's worlds! Is it t-shirts and jeans and that sort of thing or do you wear dresses and gowns? What do you consider formal wear versus every day wear?

V. WILDCARD;

Oh, that's quite a broad question... I think it really depends on the type of person, season, and even area they come from in my world. Specifically for myself though, I prefer dresses or long skirts, and some kind of shirt that covers my shoulders and arms, if possible. I don't do too well in the sun, I've found...though the heat also doesn't agree with me, either.

[Lots of things don't agree with her, but that's sort of the case when she's been sickly since she was a toddler, basically.]

Three | The Murderbot Diaries | Current Character | OTA

[3_strikes]

i. sunset memories

[ When Three had heard there was an expedition heading into the unsettled desert outside the Farmlands, there was no question in its mind that it would go, too—less because it has any sort of affinity for nature or camping, and more because it knows the danger humans can find themselves in when they enter the wilderness unattended. Now that they’ve arrived, it doesn’t seem curious at all about the natural spectacle awaiting them. Rather, it is more preoccupied with helping people set up their camping equipment and stay hydrated in the desert heat.

Yet, when the moths do emerge, Three is momentarily as transfixed as everyone else, watching as their iridescent wings fill the sky. Yet, unlike the other campers, who greet the occasional moth alighting on them with joy, when one finally lands on Three, it only stares at it wide-eyed for a moment—and then flinches, roughly shaking the insect off.

Afterwards, though it will continue keeping watch and offering assistance to the other residents, it will do its best to keep its distance from the moths. ]

ii. weather-wise

[ As the month wears on, all the buzz about the danger of upcoming floods has Three on high-alert. It can be seen all around town, delivering first-aid kits, rations, and sandbags—and sometimes setting up those sandbags into orderly barriers outside people’s homes. You didn’t ask for a sandbag barricade to be set up in front of your house? Oh well. Three is setting one up anyway. In this regard, it and the long-time Iyashikei residents are of one mind: it is better to be safe than sorry. ]

[goetic_bolide]

[Octavia had decided to come out and see what the commotion was about. After all, events that only happened once a decade or so were supposed to be a big deal, right? She didn't want to miss out and then have to wait another long stretch of time to see if it occurred again, especially if it was something cool. Plus, with finals over at Yadah, she didn’t have much else to do with her time.

And it was definitely worth it. She watched wide-eyed as the moths emerged and took to the sky. None of them had landed on her yet, but she did see Three shaking one off as he flinched.]

What did it bit you or something?

Maria Robotnik | Sonic the Hedgehog | Current Player

[lilyoftheark]

🦔 i. And That's Final 🦔

[The end of term festival of sorts was exactly where maria headed when she got the news about it on her Glimmer. She wanted to attend school during the next year, an actual classroom setting for the first time in her life, so she was doing a bit of research on the campus - seeing the site, speaking with the faculty, and observing the work of the students, of course! While the majority here would be graduating, it's still nice to get to see and talk to them, get a feel for how their experiences were like, and what to expect. The usual type of thing.

What she didn't expect to happen was getting struck with a stray spell. Nothing hurt, it sort of felt more like being touched slightly on the back, but it was rather startling to realize something had happened once a teacher came over to make sure she was alright. They apologized, said the effect would only last a few days at best, and handed her a pocket-sized mirror... Where Maria realize she'd been caught in a strange go-between of a hedgehog and a human (a furry anthro). She had slightly pointed ears, a tiny tail uncomfortably trying to nudge itself outside of the hem of her skirt, and she was also covered in a soft layer of fur and, of course...quills. Or, well, her hair's strands were hard and spiky like quills.]

O-Oh...this is going to take some getting used to...

[It's not like this is bad, but she can also feel smaller quills on her back, and Maria would be pretty mortified if she tore her dress because of them.]

☂️ ii. Weather Wise ☂️

[Maria lives very, very close to the canals - right next to them in fact - so when she was advised that there would need to be work done to reinforce the area against flooding and rising water levels, even she couldn't help but get a little nervous. Of course, she had Shadow to take care of her if the worst truly happened, but there was still the concern of losing everything she managed to accumulate over time to make their place comfortable, cute, and cozy (because you know Shadow ain't doing none of that. :|). But, all those material things can be replaced, so she doesn't want to worry about it too much. So many people are already clamoring together on the waterfront areas to do their part, and Maria waffles around a little, wondering how she can help. She can't do physical labor like most people can, so how can she make herself useful?

Well, in true twelve year old fashion, she sets up a little stand by where the largest group of workers are doing their thing, with large pitchers filled with tangy lemonade, icy water, and zesty fruit punch. She also managed to bake cookies and brownies (from box mixes, shh...she's still learning!) and drew an adorable little sign that reads in big, colorful letters:

FREE FOR ALL WORKERS!! Please help yourself. :)

Yes, there are absolutely drawings of hearts, stars, and flowers all over it, with an abundance of stickers also plastered all over the sign, too.]

Well, I really want to learn some Earth Science, more than what I already research in my spare time. Oh, and perhaps some History as well? It's fascinating what you can learn about what happened only a few hundred years in the past.

Hm... Something else I'd like to learn is obviously robotic engineering. I can design fairly well, but I still lack the practical skills to actually apply those designs to working concepts... My hands have never really been steady enough in the past, but I think I may be able to do it.

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow is along for the ride like the good little service hedgehog he is. He knows Maria is very excited for the prospect of going to a proper school, and he knows she was a little disappointed not to be able to get started right away. She's technically too young for college, but she was more than smart enough. Shadow is certain that she'll ace whatever entrance exams they require. They would let her in.

If they knew what was good for them, anyway.

He himself has no interest in school. He learns better by just doing.

He's off finding a bottle of water for Maria when she's hit by the spell, and when he returns with it, he nearly drops it in surprise]

M... Maria! What happened?!

Agatha Harkness | MCU | Current player

[unbalances]

1.

[ Agatha had quickly noticed the stage of students from Yadah casting spells or at least trying to. The amount of half animal eared onlookers was enough to get her to switch gears and help those poor students out. ]

You all need to clear your heads a bit more, visualize what you want to do.

[ Her purple magic glowed from her hands and she hit one of the people in line with it, causing them to turn into a duck and then very quickly undoing the spell. A few people gasped but then started clapping at how well the spell was cast and then dispelled. ]

Now, who's next?

2.

[ A few hours after supervising the students Agatha was growing bored, they were getting better but still had quite a bad success rate. ]

You call yourself real witches? Come on!

[ It was that anger that finally caused one of the students to send the spell at Agatha, and even after absorbing the weak magic like it was nothing there was a problem. She was now a black cat, wearing her normal purple jacket only downsized for her new form. ]

I stand corrected, at least one of you has the balls to do something.

[ This was going to be an annoying rest of the day. ]

[exexarch]

1. Arrival

[G'raha Tia had intended to inform Krile, at the very least, before deciding what to do with the request, but it appears that saying "I shall be happy to help, but..." was enough of a confirmation.

And to put somewhat fine a point on it, G'raha isn't exactly thrilled to discover what it's like to be on the other side of a summons to another world.]

Wait, there appears to be a misunderstanding! I needed to talk with my friends ere I made a decision.

2. Animal transformations?

[G'raha hasn't been hit by anyway wayward transformation magicks, he has, in fact, been trying to avoid the magic school because he'd rather not be subjected to said magick.

But his distinctly feline ears and tail might give you an otherwise different impression.]

3. Sunset Memories

[G'raha has no shortage of bittersweet memories to pull from, and he is a man who is rather easily brought to tears, so you may catch him cupping one of the moths in his hands, and a tear rolling down his cheek.

If you try to get his attention, he'll rub the tears from his eyes.]

Pray forgive me, I was... distracted.

[goetic_bolide]

[There had been similar confusion with Octavia, since she was going to Yadah and lived in the dorms there wasn't really a way for her to avoid the area. But when others saw her, they assumed she had been caught by one of the spells as well.

Seeing the other, she pulled one of the earbuds she had in out.]

Looking for something?

kiyoaki matsugae | spring snow | ota

[oldwarsfinished]

i | arrival

[ The university whose grounds he ends up aimlessly wandering, as he tries making heads and tails of this new location that he's ended up at, both is and isn't different from Peers' School where he'd been attending classes just the previous morning. Apparently, Kiyoaki thinks, students are the same, no matter where they're from. Overall mindless, carefree individuals who think invention and economics change the world. Although he can find many faults with Honda, who believes in the law like it was some religious calling, at least he's fairly convinced his friend, had he been with him, would have looked at the groups of students, excitedly showing off their work, and also deemed them insipid. However, since Honda's current failing is mainly how he isn't here, Kiyoaki makes the judgement himself, shouldering past the nearest person and muttering, loudly enough that it can be heard by at least the nearest handful of onlookers, ]

Banal.

ii | weather

[ Days later, Kiyoaki comes to the conclusion that there are worse things than banality.

He thought the rainy season could get bad in Japan, but at least back home, no one would think of asking for his assistance in basic waterproofing and securing of buildings. His father has means enough to pay others to do that stuff for them, Iinuma or whomever, but the money that Kiyoaki received upon arrival is gone, squandered, he can almost hear Iinuma chastise him, and now he has to work to have enough tto pay for just a cup of tea. Aside from that, he's been taught better at Peers' than to disgrace the school or his father by any idleness.

So, Kiyoaki helps, filling sandbags with hands who have never seen that kind of coarse labour before, complaining loudly the whole way. ]

Don't they put stock in kindness in this place? This is nothing if not unkind to my back, to my hands...

iii | glimmer

[ He's never seen technology like what they have in this place. The device he is given makes no intuitive sense to him and it takes him many tries to just turn it on. Much more so to read the message.

Or to reply to it. Eventually, his Glimmer takes pity on him and turns the speech to text function on as Kiyoaki is angrily scolding it for its uncooperativeness. ]

-- paper and pen is far superior to this, evidently. What I want to learn about? I want to learn how to use this machine, of course!

Oh. It's dictating.

Good. Can someone teach me to master this device? I would be most grateful to you.

[lanternsgleam]

[Rapunzel was familiar with rain, but she had never had to worry about a rainy season or flooding since she had lived in a tower for as long as she could remember. However, she understood that those concerns were important to others, so she did her best to help. She brought bags and even used her hair to lift items for those working on the roofing. As she was carrying a few extra bags over, she overheard Kiyoaki speaking.]

Of course, that’s what this place is all about—kindness and helping others. Everyone here is really nice and willing to lend a hand. But does your back hurt? Did you strain it somehow?

[She sounded a bit concerned that he might have injured himself.]

There are people who can help if you did.

Iroh | Avatar the Last Airbender

[truehumili_tea]

Sunset Memories: CW: mentions of the loss of a child
Iroh generally wouldn’t want to travel to a desert, not so much because of the heat, but because it often offered very little in terms of food and water. However, the locals spoke of a beautiful sight that awaited those who ventured there. After hours of travel, among the others who had made the journey, Iroh set up a blanket and took out a kettle to brew some tea as the sun began its descent in the sky. It gradually sank to the west, setting the sky ablaze with color.

As he looked up, he saw a haze of colors—pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, greens, and purples—bleeding from the fading blue sky into the orange and purple hues of the approaching night. It resembled embers rising from a smoldering fire, with the wings of the moths catching the last glimmers of light and reflecting them in mesmerizing patterns. Iroh felt grateful to be there, witnessing such a magnificent and seemingly rare display.

As the moths drew closer, Iroh extended his hand, and one of the creatures landed gently in his open palm. He marveled at the glittery trail it left behind, with the dust resembling twinkling stars across his hand and forearm. In that moment, his mind wandered back to when he was a younger man—a time when he lived in the palace, part of the royal family and a respected general. Yet, it was not his status that mattered most; it was the laughter that he cherished. The sound of the son he lost due to his ambition and the role he played in his father's war lingered in his mind. He remembered playing in the garden with Lu Ten, recalling his son's youthful energy and boundless joy for life. For a moment, there was nothing more he could do but close his eyes, tears welling up as the moth continued to rest on his hand. Taking a deep breath, and wiping at his eyes, he looked down at the creature there.

"Thank you."

Weather Wise:
As May progressed and the initial wonder of the desert began to fade like the setting sun, it became clear that the pleasant weather they had enjoyed was also on the verge of leaving. The locals started preparing for the impending rain, and Iroh could sense their unease and anticipation for what was to come. He respected their decision to take action early, knowing that being proactive would ensure they were ready when the rain arrived, better equipped to handle whatever challenges it might bring. He was there alongside them, helping to fill the sandbags, offering to help those who might be having trouble lifting them.

KCQ: text; UN: JasmineDragon
I am always happen to learn more about the wonderful people here, and those that inhabit this place. As well as those who have arrived here from so many distant lands.

Sunset Memories

[mamaterasu]

[Ammy has never encountered a desert before - Nippon simply doesn't have that sort of climate. However, the heat doesn't bother her very much considering her affinity to the sun, but she does still have to keep plenty of water on hand. Pretty lucky she can call forth the rain at any time for a refill of her drinking gourd. However, even with the heat, dust and sand in her fur, and the need to constantly keep hydrated, Ammy isn't regretting the decision to come out all this way in the slightest. As the last rays of sunlight paint the skies overhead with a myriad of different colors (fitting, for she is both the sun and a master painter herself), she finds that it's not...quite the rays of the sun, but the wings of many moths, shimmering in the distance. Following their trail, the white wolf comes upon this old gentleman and his blanket, the powerful scent of incense, but also of fresh tea leaves coming off him. She's still several feet away, watching quietly as her tail wags behind her in a cute, friendly way, and--...oh?

She's not certain what exactly is happening, but the mood seems to have shifted, and it becomes clear as to why in but a moment. Images - shapes and sounds - fill the darkening air around them, like a dream or a memory...dust scattering from the wings of the moth to create a cloudy vision. A child's laugh, the sound of war drums...flames dancing high and unburdened, hungry...consuming. It's not difficult for Amaterasu to put the pieces together, and the old man's hunched form and tears confirm it. Yet...she feels not simple grief or sadness, but gratitude as well. It must been a long while now, since he's seen and heard such things from a lost one. Bittersweet...like a cup of green tea. Scalding sometimes, but also calming, too.

She approaches, ears folded and head low, sniffing at the old man and whining curiously at him before circling the spot close to him and laying down, leaning her head on one of his knees. Dogs are good at this sort of thing - a quiet presence to help when one is feeling a bit too much.]

Octavia | Helluva Boss

[goetic_bolide]

Yadah University:
Octavia decided to stay close to campus to avoid the sports festivals, as she had no interest in the obstacle course or any of the games taking place. Fortunately, she also didn’t have to manage any of the booths since her finals were not practical exams; it was still her first semester. Given the transformations happening around her, those who hadn’t spoken to her before might mistakenly assume she was an unfortunate victim of one of her peers.

As Octavia wandered through the various booths, she nodded her head to the music playing in her headphones.

Weather Wise:
As the month progressed, more and more people began discussing the rain that was expected in June. Octavia, however, didn't understand the excitement. She preferred overcast days, and the sound of rain seemed soothing to her. Her main concern was the rail system and the possibility of the university shutting down since it was located on an island. If the tracks were flooded, there would be no way to leave.

Gradually, she started gathering supplies she might need: water, food, and first-aid items. Lacking knowledge about flood preparation, she was simply following what everyone else was doing. Currently, she was hauling two cases of water while waiting for the metro-rail.

Kio Kaidou | Loveless | Test Driver

[piercedpainter]

Sunset Memories: Bus Ride
Kio had only been in the city for a few days when he started hearing about the excursions to the Farmlands. It was described as a special occasion that promised to be beautiful, and he was determined not to miss the opportunity. While sitting on the charter bus, Kio managed to pack a few canvases, some paint, and a carrier for all of it, placing it next to him. Since it seemed like it would be a long ride, he also brought along some snacks for the trip.

After the first half hour or so he finally turned to the person next to him, offering them something to snack on.

"Want one?"

Sunset Memories: Painting the sky
As the sun set over the desert, it painted the sky with fiery hues, showcasing vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. The clean, dry desert air enhanced the brilliance of these colors, making them more vivid compared to the dull greys that others seemed so concerned about. Kio had set up the portable easel he brought along and was working on a quick sketch of the landscape while everyone waited for the moths to appear. As the moths began to emerge, Kio painted their translucent white wings onto the canvas, blending them with the reds, oranges, and yellows of the setting sun.

Later, while sitting next to a campfire, he continued to work on one of his paintings. This piece captured the moment when one of the moths landed on another spectator. He focused on adding more detail, working with pastels and charcoal to get the colors just right.

Weather Wise:
It was typical for Kio to arrive right at the beginning of the monsoon season, and to top it off, he didn’t even have any rain gear. Living near the canal only complicated matters, as he would likely have to contend with a lot of water. While everyone else was busy preparing sandbags and making other arrangements for the impending rain, Kio was simply trying to find the essentials.

"Hey, do you know where I can find an umbrella or a raincoat?"

Bus Ride

[pointedlycute]

Ty Lee didn't mind long rides, and at least in this there were windows to look out and admire the wonderful scenery that was passing by as they traveled. Unlike many of the others, she hadn't really thought to pack anything, just hoping to rely on what she could get and find there, and knowing there would probably be someone kind enough to share. After all everyone here had been so friendly.

She'd been pretty confused though about why a guy would have so many piercings, but smiled and accepted the snack that had been offered.

"Thank you, that's so kind of you."

Kyoya Ootori | Ouran High School Host Club | Test Driver

[managedexpectations]

Arrival:
It was a pretty rotten trick, to wake him from sleep so early in the morning and go on and on about some invitation and wizards. He had thought he was still dreaming when he had agreed, simply hoping that it would have been enough to get the owl to leave him in peace and allow him to return to bed. But now he found himself sitting on a bench outside of the main chamber tapping a scroll as he tried to figure out just what he was supposed to do in this situation. He didn't have his phone, and it wasn't like it would have done any good even if he had managed to bring it. There was something about paperwork and an application to return home, but he would need to figure out just where to get the paper work and file it to start the process. Plus there was the issue of securing some place to stay while the application was being processed.

"This is the kind of idiocracy I would have expected from him."

Weather wise:
The rainy season, huh? That could be quite problematic and might delay his return home. If the weather conditions worsened as people were predicting, it wouldn’t be surprising if government operations were shut down or if they prioritized other matters over exit applications. This meant he would likely be staying longer than anticipated and needed to make the necessary preparations, as well as familiarize himself with the emergency protocols of the city.

"Excuse me, but what kind of evacuation or shelter plans does the council have in place for such an event?"

Kindly Curious Question:
I wouldn't mind learning more about the operation and licensing of businesses in this city, and the requirements for obtaining a business license or entering into a trade agreement between various worlds.

Ofcourse there was that time she tried to hide in a 'Best of Breed' Cat Show so she wouldn't get caught sneaking around, but that was her own spell that she could get out of.

Looking around at the, oh so fun, point of view from the ground to giant humans, Sabrina-kitty gave a nervous laugh.]

[Watching the moths fly into the sky was indeed beautiful. Sabrina took her chance to find a nice spot to sit, thankfully it was cool enough in the day to sit on a rock too. The rainbow of moths flew across the sky. The light in her eyes sparkled slightly as she watched the glittery dust shine from one of the moths that touched her skin.

The memory of relief came across Sabrina's mind as she recalled the day she passed the tests of true love. Harvey wasn't doomed to be a frog forever after their first kiss. The touch of his lips and excitement of her first kiss left her so happy. A smile came across her lips as she watched the moth fly away.]

Octavia had come out to the desert because it seemed like it would have been a good place to get away from the city and see the stars, as well as the moths that were supposed to be some kind of big deal. She hadn't been entirely sure what to expect, but it was pretty impressive and she enjoyed watching them. But as they started flittering away she couldn't help but overhear the girl nearby mention something about missing someone.

"Who's Harvey?"

Hopefully she didn't freak out at an owl demon dressed like a hot topic teen suddenly interrupting her train of thought.

(A.) Non-magical Animal Transformation

[Knowledge is a source of great power indeed! Scarecrow was more than curious and excited to see what the science students were demonstrating. There were all kinds of inventions put on display. He looked from one to another.]

Incredible! Simply fascinating!

[With a big smile on Scarecrow's stitched lips, he began to move away and decide to wonder around some other booths with great curiosity. However, his thoughts full of possibilities and inventions that could be made, he hadn't counted on getting hit with a animal spell. In fact he just kept walking along the ground as if nothing happened.

...That is until he noticed the sudden change of perspective after the 4th or 5th step.

Pausing, Scarecrow looked down at himself. He seemed to be a lot more straw than usual, or... was it straw or-? Lifting his corded coated paw, it is come to his surprise he was now a Komondor dog. The most moppy of mop dogs, in this case, he might as well be a rag mop dog. He yelped as he spun around in surprise.]

WHAT HAPPENED?! WHY DID IT HAPPEN?! WHO DID TH-

WHY AM I A DOG?!

🔰🔰🔰

(B.) Sunset Memories

[The desert here was very beautiful, especially at night. The colors from both the sky and moths were breath taking. Scarecrow folded his arms and relaxed as he watched the cute little fuzzy guys take flight.

Holding out a gloved finger one of the moths landed for a bit, accepting a little pet before it fluttered away to join the others. And so did the glitter dust brushed a bittersweet memory. Dorothy hugging them all goodbye, then coming to him last "I think I'll miss you most of all..."

A glint from the sparkles reflected in his eyes, gazing back up at the sky that created the mix of colors just like a rainbow. He gave sad smile as he hugged himself. He wished his friend could have stayed, but it was her wish to go back home. At least he knows somewhere over that rainbow, she's home and happy at least.

Oh... But does he miss her too.]

(C.) Weather Wise

[The rain came down, down, down and down some more. Scarecrow did try ti help, but in his clumsy ways, he lost all sense of balance. Giving out a cry and he tumbled into one of the sandbags.

KERSPLASH!

Scarecrow was now floating along one of the flooded canals. From a distance he looked like another plank. The poor guy could only float along the way as he spat out water like a little mini fountain for a bit before he took out a breath of annoyance.]
