Howdy! November, I'm trying to claw my way out of being generally kind of unwell + the December deadline season at work, so I'm trying to manage to keep all my plans ironed out in advance of everything.
NPCs
Elias Coldwood, with more time to spare from the addition of research assistants, will be attending the Dance of Celestine! He will be taking the train up to the mountain, and taking that day off. He'll be keen to check in with the friends he's made so far, as well as try to study the skeletons, much to the offense of the visiting dead. He'll also be easy to steal away for conversation, dance, and general merriment by new faces! He's slowly starting to shake that whole "being a lighthouse hermit" thing.
Outside of the festival, he's been on a great deal more research expeditions with his work inside his home-slash-lab being taken care of. If anyone, a hired hand or an established research assistant, would like to take a trek with him into Paradesium or just into Lockwood Forest, he's good for that!
Teddy Pennyburrow, the fox beastfolk running the Fallen Leaves Dormitory House, will also be at the Dance of Celestine! He's trying to keep an eye on the kids, for the most part, but he's been advised to "cut loose", and is going to do the best he can on that. He's mostly here to socialize and try to take account for the increasingly new faces around town!
And, lastly, Esmeray, the sphinx who lives in the ruins of Paradesium, has tentatively made her first surface-world appearance since the barrier went up. She is nervous and flighty, and prone to wallflower tendencies, but she can be convinced to participate in the festivities by a patient hand. Anyone is open to meeting with her! PCs
Jonathan Sims, opting to try to endure the train to Crane's Ridge with Martin (and potentially a few friends), is going to be especially eager to get to the festival after his last encounter with the goddesses. He's going to be doing his absolute best to have a normal one. The skeletons will not prevent him from having a normal one. Maybe random interpersonal issues will? Who's to say!
He's also still calling for statements to be made, as he's only doing what he can to take them from volunteers. Additionally, he's still got a single tape in a player that he hasn't broken out - partially because, after some encounters with Seemingly during Dahlia's birthday gala, he's been dreading what he'll find on it, and struggling to see the point in doing so. He's been doing Bad(TM) recently, but he's being so brave about it.
Laios Touden will be attending the Dance of Celestine, hiking up the mountain for the sheer fun of it, and bringing with him a great deal of his own home cooking. Namely, monster cooking! With all the support he's had in his social network, he's finally feeling confident enough to come forward with this, and hopefully find enough people interested in it to outweigh the confusion and concern. I'll be keeping things mostly light with him, but am absolutely down for a few solid threads with friends or new adventurous foodies!
Sasha James is going to mostly have a quiet one for my sanity, but she'll be at the Dance of Celestine! She's also working around Town Hall, and is available for coworker CR threads to get her more established in there.
Basira Hussain will be at the Dance of Celestine, and will be using the opportunity to establish herself a little more in the community, figure out who's who and what they're doing. She's not going to know what to do with the skeletons, and you know what? That's fine, this is fine. She's also got some awkward conversations to have with people who are already aware of her, and is generally going to be doing what she can to get her bearings among the townsfolk. (She also needs to get a job - anybody looking for a new coworker or apprentice to a specific trade?)
I'm also open to other things, so feel free to either hit me on a wildcard or call me to one! Not all of my characters will be getting top-levels on the event, just to try to manage my bandwidth, as I'm still tagging stuff on the Casino. Feel free to drop a comment here, shoot me a PM on this journal, or message me on Discord (@ socksmuggler)!
