mar event.
a quaint winter wonderland
What few leaves remain on Crescentview’s trees have fallen away to return to the soil beneath a blanket of powdery white snow. Winter has arrived and with it comes sweater weather and the occasional snowstorm. Stock up on fire wood to keep your fireplace roaring all winter long and settle in for colder days to come!
While Fall is the season of many festivals on Crescentview Isle, winter is a much quieter time. There is, however, the matter of one very important ceremony: the Sacred Unity ceremony.
What is this ceremony, you ask? If your character is looking to get engaged, married or otherwise promise to share a future together with their partner (or partners!), participating in the Sacred Unity is the only way to have your partnership recognized in the eyes of the townsfolk and the Goddess herself. With winter comes the opportunity to have your bond recognized and richly blessed by the Goddess, but perhaps more importantly, it's an opportunity to throw a grand party and celebrate with everyone you've come to love and care for on the island.
Very few crops can withstand winter's unrelenting chill and consistent snowfall. This is the season to clear out your field and turn the soil in preparation for the upcoming spring.
the sacred unity checklist
The Sacred Unity is, well, sacred! As such, there are customs that must be honored in order to hold a ceremony of your own. Luckily for you, the steps have been neatly outlined by the townsfolk and pinned to the task board for your consideration.
1. Pray to the Goddess to honor your union. You will be granted a pure white feather with which to propose to your partner (or partners) which will then take the form of silver rings.
2. After a successful engagement, partners will be mailed an application to fill and submit by Winter 10th (March 10th OOCly). Through this application, characters and their partner(s) will be able to specify various details of their engagement or marriage party.
3. After submitting your application, you will receive a bundle of invitations to invite your friends and neighbors to your ceremony.
After characters are prepared to go forward with their Sacred Union, players will be assigned an IC day for their ceremony to take place during the final two weeks of winter. OOCly, you may set up your Sacred Union toplevel, log, etc. any time during event 4.5., but please do not set up your posts in advance of our final event.
task board
The task board is located in Town Square and changes from season to season. In real time, a season is one month long. The following tasks are available from March 1st to March 31st and more tasks may be added mid-month.
Certain rewards are only available through event participation, so please keep this in mind when planning your threads. Multiple tasks may be completed within a single thread, but when turning in, please link to the individual tags in which each task was completed.
Finally, rewards are per character, not per farm, so those with housemates may want to coordinate with one another with regard to what animals you’re bringing home to your farm.
This month’s task board reflects the rewards you’ll receive for completing the Sacred Unity checklist along with a few more additions. The Sacred Unities themselves will also have their own unique set of tasks to complete, the details of which will be included in event 4.5.
In addition, many farmers are ahead of curb and may have already proposed to their chosen partner(s), so for this event, several of these tasks may be completed retroactively. Just link us the relevant threads or, if need be, provide us a summary.
1. Receive the Goddess’ blessing. Approach her pond with an offering and express your intent to marry or engage. Reward: one pure white feather. This task may be completed retroactively.
2. Formally propose to your partner(s) and present them with the Goddess' feather. Reward: one fairy priest and one fairy ringbearer. This task may be completed retroactively.
3. Submit your Sacred Unity application. Reward: bundle of Sacred Unity invitations.
4. Share news of your engagement with your friends and neighbors. Take the opportunity to hand out those invitations! Reward: a traveling tailor’s coupon for each ceremony attendee invited.
5. Try on your Sacred Unity attire and show it off to your ceremony attendees and friends. Alternatively, present your attendees with their special attire if your Sacred Unity has a dress code. Reward: one gaggle of musical fairies who can be instructed to perform live orchestral arrangements of your favorite tunes during your Sacred Unity.
6. Decide with your partner(s) whether you’ll stay or remain on the island after getting hitched. Reward: those staying will have their homes and farms fully upgraded. Those leaving will be granted a return ticket to return to their previous homes or to that of their partner.
7. Prepare for winter. Chop down wood, clear your farmland, prepare hearty stews! Help out your friends and neighbors by getting ready for colder days to come. Reward: three magical heated blankets that make you feel safe, comfortable, and more honest than usual. Gift one to someone who needs a little help opening up!
8. Build a snowperson. With winter comes snowfall! Grab a few friends and head up to the mountains to build some snowfolks, but don't be surprised if they come to life! Crescentview's soil is humming with magical energy and any snowfolk made with this magic-dense snow will spring to life with a serious attitude problem. Reward: one box of the Goddess' special Lovey Dovey hot chocolate. Consuming even a sip of this hot chocolate will compell you to snuggle up with someone nearby.
finely tailored and freshly prepared
Every winter, a tailor from the mainland arrives on the island to take custom dress and suit orders from islanders looking to engage or marry their sweethearts. This tailor is highly skilled and specializes in crafting attire for Sacred Unions, weddings, and other formal events. Whether you’re looking to have a very specific style of garb made or want to leave your fate in the tailor’s hands, you’re guaranteed to leave with Sacred Unity attire you'll love.
In addition to the tailor is a world-renowned chef that ventures to the island every winter to cater meals for those participating in the Sacred Union. Bring him your own recipes or request that he craft you a feast fit for a king. Either way, with his catering prowess on your side, every guest will be leaving full and satisfied.
local happenings
The Crescentview Times newspaper has chronicled the latest happenings around the island. A physical copy of the paper will arrive on your doorstep early in the morning on Winter 1st.
What pirates remain alive have scurried back off to their ship and departed the island. On the way out, they scream and shout, vowing to return to reclaim what is rightfully theirs... whatever that means.
The end of the year is swiftly approaching! Every year, a massive new year's celebration is thrown in town square. The resident farmers have all been invited to attend and participate in the local favorite: king's game. Leave your shame at the door!

It probably would have been more dramatic to just yell that he is here for a feather, but on the other hand, that would be just rude. Once she appears, he'll get down to stating his business. ]

He's silent at first, standing at the base of her pond with a bundle of fall flowers in his hands. They're twined together with a silken ribbon, and rather than tossing them in, Diluc settles on a knee to set them on the water's surface to gradually sink to the bottom. He owes her this much respect, at least.]

Hey. I'd like to have a feather, y'know? But for two people.

Secondly: As a certified Bird of Paradise, if anyone is going to be waving a fancy feather around to allure the person they consider their mate, it's Kaveh. Would he do a mating dance to appease him? Maybe after a bottle of wine or seven. But would Alhaitham reject a proposal like that? Probably.
He arrives at the pond and lowers the pumpkin respectfully, stepping back before closing his eyes in prayer. )
Almighty Goddess of the Harvest, I come before you requesting one of your lustrous feathers.

[Upon winter's arrival, it seems something else has made landfall on the island. Anyone walking along the beach might take notice of...something...washed up on the shore. It's a mass of dark hair and darker clothes, sprawled in an almost inhuman heap.
But it is a person...right? If it is, they might need some help. It can't be good to be soaked and unconscious in the cold like that.]
2 - cryptid sighting
[Sometime later, farmers might hear something strange on their properties. Animals being spooked, rustling noises in their storehouses, footsteps in the night when no one else should be around.
That can't be good. It might be worth checking out.]
3 - do you want to build a snowperson?
[Listen, if there's the promise of chocolate at the end of it, Lovecraft will put up with any tedious task. This includes trying to construct what the townspeople call a "snowperson". He doesn't really see the point of this activity, but whatever. Free chocolate.
Except there's a problem. As he labors over the shapes, these snowpeople in progress look all kinds of wrong. Uncanny and misshapen, it's like they've sprung out of some horror movie. There's a good chance that bringing these to life will result in the screams of the unknown echoing across the island.
M-Maybe he could use some help in getting on the right path.]

[ A few days after the turn of the season, Gaku will be out and about all over the island, visiting all of the popular spots and even other's farms. Should he visit a farm, he'll at least be polite and knock on the door.
He has a bag hanging off a shoulder, a stack of cards inside, and he'll gesture to it when he gets someone's attention. After all, he's inviting everyone. ]
Hey, there's something I'd like to give you.
ii - snowperson;
[ There's a lot to do this month, but you can bet that Gaku is still going to be enjoying the snow whenever he can! He doesn't ever get the chance to play in the snow, so he's taking advantage of this time.
Currently, he's near the town square, rolling up a sizable ball of snow in an attempt to get the perfect body for a snowperson. He waves over at anyone nearby. ]
Come help me out!
iii - wildcard;
[ Choose your own adventure! Feel free to go with something completely different or plot a closed starter with me! ]
closed to ellis 💍
A gentle scent wafts through the air, a singular candle sitting on a side table the culprit of the nice smell. And closeby on the coffee table is a plate full of what looks like cream puffs. Should he look up at all, he'll notice a span of photos on the wall leading towards the bedroom, creating a little makeshift path for him to follow.
If he doesn't go towards it on his own, Gaku asked Fluffy to force him over there. ]

Get Well Soon
He comes by a few days into winter with a carefully packaged bowl of soup from Lucia's, and a small bouquet of flowers just cut from their garden before the snowfall, as a get well gift.
It's a relief when he sees her sitting up as he enters the doorway--if she has energy, that's good.] Of course, I'm sorry I didn't make it sooner.
[He'll set the soup and flowers on her end table.] How's the recovery?

[If you venture into the forests today, you may have the uncomfortable sensation of being watched. If you turn around, there's nothing behind. But up from above, bright yellow eyes peer at you in the dark. And then there's a low growl.
And then a panther dropping down, with a dead bird in it's mouth.
Would you like...a bird. That's being helpful, right?
Panther Judy thinks, yes yes it is.]

Winter 13
Well. He very much put a dent in his initial plans, and he ultimately left Adelis to sequester himself to the farm when he seemed overwhelmed by being so... Sylvari.
He should probably check on Trahearne, then, but the awareness Mishka will be there takes some of the edge off the urgency. He can wait a day, so he's prepared to deal with his actual Beloved with the face of the guy he's trying to stop having romantic feelings for.
He doesn't expect Trahearne to find him first, and he certainly doesn't expect to find him like that. Is he even wearing shoes?] By the Pale Three, what happened?

[ Winter is, evidently, not Adelis' favorite season. Even moreso now, with the curse chilling his bones, which means stepping outside leaves him far more cold than he would ever prefer. For once, he debates on shirking duties and just staying inside, but a house isn't going to warm itself, nor is anything going to get done now that he's alone.
If you pass by Adelis' farm, you'll see the most miserable little man imaginable, face bright red and visibly shivering as he rips the dead things from his fields, or perhaps he's hauling wood around the farm...although, with obvious difficulty, with a hiss of curses for any who pass to hear and grit teeth. Still, he's nothing but determined.
Even if he does have the occasional sneeze. He's fine. Don't worry about it. He won't say no to some help though, just this once. Or convince him to take a break, because, honestly? He looks like he needs it, bad. ]
≫ roots in hard ground [winter 12-14]
[ Sometimes, you wake up wrong. Very, very wrong. This is not the first time he has woken up wrong, but this feels just as jarring as the first time, if not as...emotionally devastating.
For those who know Trahearne, he seems...uncharacteristically sour. Or sullen. Either way, he's visibly not in the best of moods, but it doesn't stop him from moving about the island...yet. Yet is the keyword.
He's out and about in town today, although he seems...put off. Eventually, he does stop, and the grimace on his face looks definitely out of place. ]
For hell's sake. [ Huh. ] Why doesn't he fucking wear shoes-
[ Firstborn Trahearne said...fuck?
Alternatively, he'll be working around Him and Kaspar's farm, albeit in a particularly grumbly fashion. Sorry, if you're here to see Trahearne- because whatever is walking around with his face right now is definitely not him. ]
