OOC Info Seasonal Calendar, Winter 513

[Elysium]

As the Watchtowers turn blue, Alvadas turns green - literally. Throughout the season, the city is absolutely immersed in color. People might at times, wake to find their eye and hair colors temporarily changed while their wardrobes are all turned a uniform shade. Buildings, street signs, even the roads themselves all shift at will, from one end of the spectrum to the next. Exotic plants grow hither and yon, curling up through the street cracks while tropical birds and fish are discovered absolutely everywhere. Even colorful lizards appear, though their poisonous presence is at times, cause for alarm. In response, the city celebrates this gift from Ionu with conviviality. Mid-season a party breaks out, tagged the Prism Festival, and the city makes room accordingly. Performers, poets, musicians, and painters all take to the streets, generating art to reflect this joyful period before it shifts to the New Year. Winter, 513 5th - Certain stalls in the Bizarre offer "colorful" deals to honor Ionu. 9th - A brawl takes place in the Withering Rose.

Seasonal Thread Goals The Winter Season lasts through December, January and February of real time. For each real month there are four different goals, twelve goals total. Completing all twelve rewards a medal, while completing the thread goals for all four SEASONS awards an even cooler medal! These thread goals may be combined into the same thread or may be done in twelve separate threads, but all twelve goals must be present in order to receive credit. Threads do not need to be completed in the month they are posted in - they simply need to be finished to count. Now the fun part! Thread Goals were created to help give you a nudge should your inspiration be lacking. They can inspire a PC to do something they normally wouldn't, have them meet new and exciting people or even explore things that you as the writer might not even be aware of yet! These are supposed to be fun and creative. Just keep in mind the prompts listed below are just that: prompts. They can be applied anyway you choose. If a goal is to get your PC into a fight, but alas! Your PC doesn't fight? Perhaps they get into a fight with themselves over something they think they did wrong, or regretted not doing. It's really up to you how creative you get with it! December 1. Pay homage to Ionu. 2. Interact with the Womiyu. 3. Visit the Bizarre. 4. Try some foreign cuisine. January 1. Witness an illusion. 2.
