If you are curious about the situation of the city at large, have a look at our current World Status Page, as there are many details and additional prompts that change monthly!

PROMPT I: Welcome to Havenwell!

Hello! Welcome! Everyone is very excited to meet you. You met the robot when you woke up, right? The one that said you've been brought by the gods to save their world? They're a little more reserved, but you might meet some who aren't.

Once you've had the gist of the situation explained to you, been assigned your tablet, and given a map that circles where the free housing is, you're free to wander the walled city. As you go, any number of robotic citizens approach you in a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Would you like a tour? Do you need help finding your new home? How about a different map? A coupon for a local shop? A hand to hold? There's no end of helpful voices and hands.

Some of the helpful voices and hands are a little too helpful, however, and you might find yourself fending off curious robotic researchers. They ask you questions about how you came to the world, request samples of hair or nail clippings, ask for...autographs? Handshakes?? A hug???

They also seem determined to shove new arrivals together, or new arrivals with other off-worlders, to see how they interact with one another, so you might find yourself pushed together with a stranger and asked to talk while robots look on, nod, and take notes until said robot researchers are satisfied with whatever data they're collecting. You're encouraged to hold hands, of course, but not required. But be warned: once you do hold someone's hand, it may seem oddly difficult to let go until you at least exchange names (or until the players agree sufficient interaction has occurred)!


PROMPT II: A Delicious Delight

In the continued hopes of endearing themselves to newcomers, a division of the research towers are bringing back the drink selection to delightfully festive booths spread about the city staffed by a few robots wearing Rawna's colors in their sashes and hats. There are five drinks in total to choose from and you should certainly try them! When you take a sip of these exquisitely delicious beverages, prepare yourself for a little trick with your treat.

  • Ginger and Honey Tea: A hot, thoroughly warming drink with the bite of ginger and the sweetness of honey. Drink this and you'll be shored up against the cold, but also feel compelled to tell or blurt out the truth. Whether you're asked a question or trying to tell a little white lie, you find you can't say anything but the truth. This effect lasts for up to an hour after drinking the tea.

  • Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie: A cold sweet treat of vanilla smoothie topped with strawberry pieces and whipped cream. At the bottom, you'll find a layer of sweet sponge cake cut up into pieces. Drink this with its own special thick straw and enjoy the taste of cake; and the effect of a personal miniature snow cloud that appears over your head. The cloud dusts you and your immediate area within a foot of you with beautiful multicolored snow - and that snow leaves splotches of color behind that last for up to an hour after drinking the smoothie.

  • Hot Cinnamon Apple Cider: A deliciously steamy beverage that tastes of apple and cinnamon and comes with a cinnamon stick stirrer for effect. This beverage smells as delicious as it tastes and the aroma wafts around the area more strongly than the others. Drink this penultimate holiday drink and you'll find yourself heating up so much that you'll want to stay cold by giving your heat away via holding someone else. You'll want to be everyone's personal heater for up to an hour after drinking the cider.

  • Gingerbread Latte: A nice piping hot latte with the hint of gingerbread threaded through the coffee, topped with whipped cream and dusted with gingerbread spice. Served in a tall red cup that seems to transfer the heat uncannily well through its thin walls, sip this and you'll find yourself painlessly sprouting an animal's appendage at random. You can have one functioning or non-functioning, cosmetic animal appendage like a cat's ears, a dog's tail, a duck's beak or whatever else you can think of for up to an hour after drinking the latte. They can replace your original body part (e.g. your ears become cat ears) or grow superfluously (e.g. you have regular ears AND cat ears). You can move the appendages or talk with them as if they are your own, but they don't confer any special magical powers with them. So you can fly with those griffin wings, sure, but you're going to need to put the effort into it.

  • Hot Mulled Wine (alcoholic): This one isn't for children - and in fact, under 18 people might find it hard (but not impossible, be industrious, little ones!) to get their hands on this drink. Red wine is heated with spices and citrus fruit over low heat for several hours - or it would if it wasn't all synthetically created. The effect is the same though, a delicious adult beverage that's a nice way to spend an evening with someone special. And you'll want them to be someone special because drinking the hot wine makes you inclined to get a little steamy with people. Kisses, both chaste and passionate, seem to alleviate the urge which you'll be under for up to an hour after drinking the wine.


PROMPT III: Big Wick Energy
a single candle lit in the dark

The city suffers from the occasional blackouts no more, but just in case, at each temple the city's natives have organized the supplies and materials to make candles, hoping that with the offworlders' help a stockpile can be made. Everything to make personalized candles in all manner of colors is available; pair off or into groups to work together, with the end result glowing brighter the more contact and cooperation goes into making them! Helping out will even earn a small dora bonus for all involved, especially if they make exceptionally bright candles together.

But that's not all! Candles made with just the right amount of care might do more than simply glow...

♥ Particularly short candles predictably don't last very long, but when they go out they explode in a sudden burst of multicolored confetti. Water soluble, of course, otherwise the city would have a whole other problem on its hands.

♥ Thinner candles tend to have a very comfortable scent to them that makes one just want to curl up in a comfortable spot and take a nap. If one were to give in to this urge, they'll find their dreams to be peaceful and wake up feeling fully rested.

♥ If the end result is a candle on the thicker side, the character that lights it will find themselves glowing as well even without the bioluminescent floral markings. This glow can be full-bodied or cover entire limbs at a time, becoming a walking nightlight for the hour or so the candle takes to burn down.

♥ Making a candle of average size will produce a scent the offworlder that lights it may not have encountered in a good amount of time; something nostalgic from their homes such as food they can't replicate quite right, or a flower that doesn't grow anywhere in Havenwell.


PROMPT IV: Speed (Not!)Dating
two out of focus glasses of wine on a table, with two red roses clear in the foreground


The robots of Havenwell have encouraged the off-worlders and any visitors to get to know each other, and the locals have designed what they believe may be the perfect ice breaker! Speed Not-Dating: in which two people sit down across from each other in a typical get-to-know-you setting. There are cards with conversation starters, candles, and roses on the table, all of which the locals insist isn't for any romantic reason. Say hello, and exchange names and contact information! Holding hands is highly encouraged, but not necessary. Suspiciously, however, once two people do hold hands, they may not find the bond easily broken. Nevermind that, though! A pair who decides to leave from the speed (not) dating while hand in hand (or more, the locals won't judge!) will find themselves awarded with a gift basket. Within the present are a pair of matching onesie pajamas, of which the hoods sport ears of any animal you wish.

It's the start of the new year, and the peak month of Rawna's reign. This month is best spent on weighing the year that has just passed, remembering the bad times you survived and celebrating your capacity to endure. The world looks ever forward, and with the new year comes new people to meet and befriend.

If you are curious about the situation of the city at large, have a look at our current World Status Page, as there are many details and additional prompts that change monthly!

PROMPT I: A Delicious Delight

In the continued hopes of earning back some of the offworlder's good graces, or at least endearing themselves to newcomers, a division of the research towers are bringing back the limited edition drink selection to all of the replicators and have some delightfully festive booths spread about the city staffed by a few robots wearing Rawna's colors in their sashes and hats. There are five drinks in total to choose from and you should certainly try them! They're only here until the end of the month and then the scientists say they'll be gone! The best things in life are fleeting, aren't they?

PROMPT II: The Weather Outside (and Inside) is Frightful

To some, the best part of winter is the beautiful snowy landscape and Aellyn is delivering on that this year. All across Havenwell, the snow is drifting down in lazy, cozy piles that turn the city even more picturesque than usual. It's a lovely sight and even the natives are enjoying it by doing things like building snowrobots, snow forts, snow sculptures, and snow fights! Some of the less jolly ones are grumbling about the need to shovel the snow to keep roads and walkways clear, but overall the city seems to be enjoying the weather.

The grumbling might be justified, however, because at random times and in random places all over the city, the gentle drifts of snow suddenly become small localized Snowpocalypse pockets. Small storm clouds will whip up in pocketed areas, dumping feet upon feet of snow all at once before dissipating. These massive snow drops have the potential to trap people inside homes, businesses, in doorways, or even bury them outside. If you're unlucky enough to be caught outside, you'll need to cuddle up to keep warm until you or the locals can dig you out. If you're stuck inside, you better start digging out from your doors or you might be stuck for awhile. The cold of these snow drops seem to seep in through the walls, making even those inside want to cuddle up for warmth before either digging themselves out or awaiting rescue.

The gods must not know the saying, "All things in moderation" when it comes to snow!

Ohnir has arrived, and with it, the first month of Ohma's reign! Blue and gold highlight the scenery and buildings of town, contrasting prettily with the changing shades of autumn. Might be a little chilly, and the days are getting darker much faster than usual... actually, maybe it's just dark all the time now. (Wait, what?)

If you are curious about the situation of the city at large, have a look at our current World Status Page!



PROMPT I: Why the Long Phase
a city seen from above, half pitched into darkness with all the lights out

The arrival of the flowers along the green belt surrounding the city carries with it a curious side effect, for those who happen to spend enough time there. They also occasionally have two curious side effects: visitors might, for one, feel compelled to make a wish, what with them looking so reminiscent of shooting stars, and two, find themselves decorated with markings of some sort that are just as bioluminescent as the flowers themselves. The glow is subtle, and the marks themselves are generally symbolic/representative of the recipient in some way (though feel free to get creative with it). These markings are harmless, and the glow becomes a little stronger when in close proximity or contact with another person- doubly so, if they both possess markings. Those who don't sleep alone might struggle a little snuggling up with a night-light, but overall, it's a very muted affair. The flowers themselves are also very pretty, if you're into that sort of thing.

All seems well until the intermittent rolling blackouts begin. All electronics and appliances still function, but nothing that ordinarily would generate light seems to be working… up to and including the sky itself, which seems to be taking a brief vacation during the blackouts and plunging the city into darkness whether night or day. Lights, candles, even offworlder powers only produce a faint glow that might or might not ensure you don't trip in the dark.

The only solution until the predicament passes is--you guessed it--physical contact. While there seems to be very little rhyme or reason to the blackouts themselves, the more physical touch the offworlders engage in, the shorter the periods of darkness will become. During the outages, any source of light glows a little brighter when being used by pairs or even groups in contact with one another, from magic to candles and everything in between. Additionally, anything crafted to cast light will function as it should if made with help from another or while making contact with others. Those bioluminescent markings are going to come in handy, it turns out.

PROMPT II: Big Wick Energy

As a result of the occasional blackouts, at each temple the city's natives have organized the supplies and materials to make candles, hoping that with the offworlders' help some light can return to Havenwell. Everything to make personalized candles in all manner of colors is available; pair off or into groups to work together, with the end result glowing brighter the more contact and cooperation goes into making them! Helping out will even earn a small dora bonus for all involved, especially if they make exceptionally bright candles together.

Summer has arrived, and with it: warm weather, longer days, and the burning sun above your heads. Sporadic rain can happen in a flash, so residents are encouraged to carry umbrellas. This is the first of Diacht's months, so the city is bedazzled with red, white, and the occasional splash of blue here and there for decor.

PROMPT I: Hana-hacking

With the turning of the seasons, the weather warms up and Diacht's influence grows in strength. 'Tis the season to be honest with one another, because if you aren't, you may begin to feel a tickle in the back of your throat…

For those who have feelings repressed, secrets unaddressed, or maybe just won't confide in a friend when they're feeling depressed, the gods work in mysterious ways. Specifically, in the fact that the offworlders may find themselves coughing up flower petals. Whether petals of plantlife from Havenwell itself or another world entirely, the longer one goes without confessing their troubles or sentiments the more insistent their condition until they might even have trouble getting through a whole sentence without finding a corsage's worth stuck in their mouth. Speaking minor truths will lessen the effect a little at a time, while larger or more impactful ones will work to cure it completely.

While not painful or otherwise physically harmful, the affliction does feel awkward and very likely doesn't taste all that great. Not to mention it's going to be difficult to keep secrets when everyone can see you have a mouthful of flower.

PROMPT II: 'Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs
a painting of trees backlit by a full moon and covered in small lights

Yet another indication that the world is recovering is the reappearance of the Fairy Lights. As the weather turns warmer, these beautiful little insects take to the air for their mating dances at night, dimly and softly glowing like Earth's fireflies or lightning bugs. These tiny little bugs float through the air, flitting about as their bodies pulse with light. The Fairy Lights come in a multitude of colors from red to purple, turning the night into soft rainbows of light. They make their triumphant reappearance in two locations: the botanical gardens and the green belt that grew up where the old wall used to be. Their beautiful displays start once the sun goes down and stop at sunrise, and natives are delighting in their return by taking walks among them.

If offworlders follow suit, they'll notice that the Fairy Lights are attracted to those who come in pairs or more, especially those who engage in sustained positive contact with each other while among them. The Fairy Lights seem to enjoy it when people are touching and will land upon them, one of each color until a rainbow has formed - usually in a crown around the head. Once the rainbow crown of Fairy Lights is complete, that character will feel a pleasant calmness and a feeling of peace and happiness wash over them. For as long as you and your partner(s) are in contact, the Fairy Lights will stay and so will the peace they confer. Once contact is broken, one by one the little insects will fly away, off to find a new perch.

PROMPT I: Char-cute-erie
various food items with googly eyes and legs or wings ambling around a rainy forest

The city's food replicators are working a little too well lately. On occasion, the replicator may spit out an extra portion of whatever you've ordered in a very dysfunctional form. That healthy apple, comforting bowl of noodles, or 3am grilled cheese? You might just get one that quite literally sprouts legs and comically large googly eyes before skittering around causing all sorts of trouble.

The native researchers have devised a solution; there are some fenced-in enclosures near the research centers and there are specialized pseudo-butterfly nets for available to anyone looking to help catch the adorable menaces. They'll offer a small dora reward to anyone who can bring them these strange little creatures alive and unharmed for research purposes. Of course, you may be so hungry after chasing down your lunch that you might just want to eat it... (they're pretty gross, though.)

PROMPT II: Peace, Love, and Psychedelic Technicolor
a tiled roof with rainbow shingles and an open window in the center

While there are still some (literal) bugs occurring in the system, overall the natives have seen a drastic improvement in both Havenwell and Aellyn as a whole thanks to the offworlders. The seasons have been stabilizing, the city has expanded, and the people are happier than they've ever been. As the winter months start to give way to spring, it seems that happiness is spreading throughout the city. Everywhere the colors of the city seem brighter and more vivid. The emerging greenery really pops against the last vestiges of the snow, and the gods' statues in the city square are more vibrant than usual. The natives are taking this to be a good sign, however, as the colors of the barrier are even more pronounced than ever before, making the sky itself rainbow hued! It also appears to be stronger, with fewer weak spots along the outer edges.

Within Havenwell, though, any color in the city has its brilliance hyped up to the nth degree. Reds are redder, blues are bluer, and whites? Uh...those can actually be kind of blindingly bright. Which is not great, considering the main color scheme of the city is white and gold. Yikes. Better get some sunglasses out, offworlders, because while the natives can just turn down the brightness scale on their visual cortexes, the rest of you might need some help not being blinded by the light.

Moreover, all those colors might be pretty, but as time goes on, people may find that their favorite blue sweater? Is now their favorite rainbow sweater. Or their favorite tie-dyed sweater. Or their favorite constantly color changing sweater like it's some sort of hyperactive mood ring. Colors in the city are going absolutely haywire: switching around, turning rainbow-colored, reverberating iridescent everywhere. Buildings, clothes, hair, food, you name it. If it exists within Havenwell, its colors are not safe from being flipped topsy-turvy for awhile.

The first few months of the new year in Havenwell are chilly, a little blustery, and full of energy as everyone braces for the months to come, as well as anticipate whatever new changes their little corner of the world will have in store for them. Ever grateful to the gods who grant them safety and the offworlders who bring them hope, locals clean the streets of snow and go about their lives with the kind of energy that flesh and blood folk might find envious. Hopefully their gracious attitude will give newcomers some comfort in the midst of Havenwell's strange situations.

PROMPT I: Your Yearly (Mis)Fortunes
a hand pulling a fortune in front of a set of temple drawers

At each temple along all the other celebrations and games, you can also find a separate booth that has a strange and unreadable Aellyn script on it. The robot sitting behind the booth has their face covered with a strip of fabric that obscures it completely, but it calls out to you when you walk by. It offers you an ancient-looking wooden container with a single small hole at the top. If you take it, it mimes shaking the container and tipping it over. Do as they say and a wooden stick pops out of the top with that same strange script on it. The robot takes a look at what you got and takes the container back, passing you a single strip of paper with reverence. "Keep your fortune close or learn to let it go," it says, and then looks to find another patron. Turn your paper over and discover what your fortune holds for you.
  • Big Luck:
  • "The world shall become your limitless bounty, until you choose to rely on others." After reading your fortune, the world does indeed seem limitless. Or maybe it's just large? Everything around you has suddenly gained in size. The fortune-teller's booth seems like a mountain. The stones under your feet like a massive raft. Has the world suddenly grown? Nope, you've just shrunk down to about 5 to 6 inches tall. Everything you were holding and on your person is also proportional to your new size. Hopefully you can find someone to carry you around for a bit because only by being carried will you return to your natural size. As an option, this can happen to you again randomly at any time during the month so long as you keep the paper fortune on you.
  • Medium Luck:
  • "All that glitters is gold for you until another helps you out." After reading your fortune, nothing much seems to have overtly changed. And you probably won't notice anything until the next time you try to eat something. Any time your hands touch any food or anything that can be used to feed yourself, it explodes into glitter and your communicator rings as a deposit of Dora is made into your bank account. This seems pretty awesome at first, until you realize you can't eat anything and you're getting hungry. You may need to get someone else to feed you your next meal, after which the curse seems to have been broken. However, you have the option to have this effect happen again randomly at any time during the month so long as you keep the paper fortune on you.
  • Small Luck:
  • "The smallest things can bring the biggest rewards." After reading your fortune, nothing much seems to have changed until you return home and find all of your pillows, blankets, and bedding have turned much, much too small for you. If you're an adult, the bedding is now the size suitable for a baby. If you are a child, you're looking at something small enough for a large doll. Any bedding you try to borrow changes its size as well, and it seems the only thing that can change them back is to share your bed or a blanket with someone else for a night. When you wake up from your nap or your slumber, everything will be back to normal. As an option, you can have this effect happen again randomly any time during the month so long as you keep the paper fortune on you.
  • Bad Luck:
  • "The love of an animal is almost as strong as the love of your fellow people." After reading this fortune, all the temple animals turn and look at you in unison. They seem to be drawn toward you, literally, as they begin to converge and run toward you like a tidal hoard in an attempt to cuddle you. You best run or they threaten to bury you under their mass, and they'll keep chasing you until you find comfort in the arms of another - whether that's climbing on top of them to get away or jumping into their arms to avoid the tidal wave of mice - as soon as you cling to someone else, the animals seem to lose interest. You can optionally have this effect activate again at any time during the month so long as you keep the paper fortune on you, creating a new stampede of animals of any variety that try to love you just a liiiittle too much.


PROMPT II: Festive Flora Festoons
festive holiday garland with metallic colored berries

They're trying to keep the holiday spirit going with some greenery among all the cold wintery snowy weather! All around the city, over doorways, strung across roads and walkways, threaded in entryways and hallways alike, people can find colorful wreaths and garlands hung overhead. Prominently displayed among the Rawna-centric ribbons and synthetic greens are real live plants! It seems the natives have picked up on the idea of holiday decorations involving seasonal flora and other decor to brighten the darker winter days. Sadly, it seems they've missed the mark on what kinds of plants are meant to be involved. Here and there, people can find all manner of plant strung up from things that look like ivy to pine-adjacent trees to weird decorations that miss the 'plant' mark entirely. Moreover, it seems these decorations are being tampered with by the gods in a haphazard manner. Some, not all, of these decorations carry a strange field around them, affecting people when they walk beneath them. Watch out, offworlders! While the natives are also getting caught sometimes, you're the most susceptible to this mysterious meddling.

♥ Mistletoe: Some of these plants are actually mistletoe, and for those familiar with the Earth tradition, they carry the same effects. On occasion when you and another person walk under the mistletoe, an invisible force field springs up, trapping you both in a six foot circle beneath the plant. Any attempts to destroy the decoration does nothing to dispel the field and teleportation does nothing but bounce you to the other side of this odd bounded circle. For those in know, they may have an inkling of what needs to happen to escape this little trap: positive physical contact in the form of hugs or kisses! Platonic kisses on the hand and cheek do seem to work for some people, though, so maybe you can both escape this without too much embarrassment? ...Maybe?

♥ Missile...toe??: Some of the plants around town have brightly colored stockings and socks hung in them. The natives seem to think that hanging footwear is an integral part of the offworld winter tradition, so they've carried it over to Lasra. On occasion, when you and another person are caught under these decorations, a cloud will form overhead and begin pelting both of you with tiny foam darts. The cloud moves with you both and will give chase for an indeterminate amount of time. It even seems that it can follow you indoors, which is entirely illogical but so is a cloud blitzing you with foam darts and here we are. It isn't omnipotent though and quick thinking or some fancy moves can throw it off your trail for awhile. The only problem is you and the other person can't seem to get more than six feet apart from one another, so you better come up with an action plan to either dispel the cloud or figure out a way to elude it or you'll be spending your day annoyed at the constant barrage of toys.

♥ Verdant veritas: This is just getting weird now. Some of the garlands have miniaturized versions of entire trees hung upside down from them. These trees range from off-colored pines to what passes for this world's version of plastic palm trees to miscolored birches, oaks, and fruit trees. Most of these trees are plastic, but it can be a little strange to see a scaled down tree hanging into the roadway. Getting caught under one of these with another person when they go haywire will trap you both in an entirely uncomfortably small circle of 3 feet from one another. The only way to widen it is to tell the other person a truth about yourself that they may not know. With each truth you tell, the circle widens by 1 foot until it snaps at some indeterminable point. For some, this might just be 2 truths and you're free. For others it might be 20. The natives tend to get caught by this one the most, so at least you have examples of what needs to happen should you find yourself trapped!

♥ Berries aplenty: Some of the decorations are filled with red and white berries hanging in clusters. These are the most innocuous seeming of all the garlands and, since the berries are small enough, the easiest to miss. They do, however, seem to be causing quite a stir with anyone caught beneath it. When you and another person walk beneath these garlands, you'll find yourselves trapped with one of you suddenly wearing a Santa outfit projected over your normal clothes like an illusion. You cannot escape the six foot circle under the berries unless you sit on Santa's lap and tell them what you really really want for the holidays. You've been a good person/robot/cat/creature this year, right? The gods hope so because only those on the Nice List who say what you want and mean it get to leave the clutches of the berries.


PROMPT III: The Weather Outside (and Inside) is Frightful

To some, the best part of winter is the beautiful snowy landscape and Aellyn is delivering on that this year. All across Havenwell, the snow is drifting down in lazy, cozy piles that turn the city even more picturesque than usual. It's a lovely sight and even the natives are enjoying it by doing things like building snowrobots, snow forts, snow sculptures, and snow fights! Some of the less jolly ones are grumbling about the need to shovel the snow to keep roads and walkways clear, but overall the city seems to be enjoying the weather.

The grumbling might be justified, however, because at random times and in random places all over the city, the gentle drifts of snow suddenly become small localized Snowpocalypse pockets! Small storm clouds will whip up in pocketed areas, dumping feet upon feet of snow all at once before dissipating. These massive snow drops have the potential to trap people inside homes, businesses, in doorways, or even bury them outside. If you're unlucky enough to be caught outside, you'll need to cuddle up to keep warm until you or the locals can dig you out. If you're stuck inside, you better start digging out from your doors or you might be stuck for awhile. The cold of these snow drops seem to seep in through the walls, making even those inside want to cuddle up for warmth before either digging themselves out or awaiting rescue.

The gods must not know the saying, "All things in moderation" when it comes to snow!

Ah, summer. That lovely time of year where the bright sun in the clear blue sky makes you want to head to the beach, catch a tan (hopefully), and relax with a good book. While there may not be a beach in Havenwell (other than in the VR simulators!), the summer sun is definitely out in full force by Achtom as Diacht's power begins to wane. The crystal clear skies do seem to encourage people to go out and the locals, who can't feel the temperature, seem to be bustling about as they continue to clean and improve the newly opened areas. All this activity might be a bit much for the offworlders, however, because in recent months the temperatures has been steadily rising don't seem to be easing up anytime soon.



PROMPT I: Staying Cool in the Neighborhood

A massive heatwave that comes and goes throughout the month seems to have gripped Havenwell! While they themselves cannot feel the heat, the natives can observe the effects it has on the offworlders and are quick to find methods to help them beat the heat. Scientists out of the research centers throughout the city develop and then begin promoting cooling drinks and cool packs that they sell at the temples, city centers, entertainment districts, outside their research centers, and other areas where offworlders tend to gather. These drinks and packs do seem to work well in beating the heat thankfully, and either imbibing the drinks or using the cool packs quickly help you ward off the rising temperatures. You're welcome to try and cool off on your own terms, but the unnatural heat will likely leave you lethargic and gross, if not outright sick, if you go too long without some outside support. There seems to be very little long-term relief to be found.

Unfortunately, for some people, they find that these drinks and packs are working too well. Weird quirks and side effects pop up and fade out at random, sometimes even compiling on top of each other! They never seem to last for very long, thankfully, but it can be a bit inconvenient when the following happens to you:
  • You've beaten the heat and feel a cooling rush of relief as the heat escapes your body. But then the heat gives way to cold and that cold leaves your teeth chattering as you realize you can no longer regulate your body temperature and your body is quickly reaching wintery levels! Better find someone to help you warm up because you'll need to share body heat until this effect wears off in order to keep your lips from turning blue!
  • Ah, that sweet sweet cooling relief radiates out from your core, pushing the heat out from the inside. It feels great to be this pleasantly cool while the summer heat beats down on you - until you touch something and it bursts into flame. Apparently the only way to get rid of all that heat is through transferring it to something else! Any inanimate object you touch (no people or animals!) starts to smoke and burn when your hands come into contact with it. Metals start to melt, your ice cold drink starts to boil, that nice little teddy bear you got starts to blacken and burn - it's a bit insane! Thankfully, your clothes and accessories you're wearing at the time the side effect takes hold don't seem to be subject to this inconvenience. You'll need some help to get about your day until the effect fades - which thankfully isn't that long! At most it lasts an hour, but an hour can seem very very long when you can't get your morning coffee in you.
  • Do you know how your body naturally cools itself? Through sweat! And you're certainly sweating a lot now that the summer heat has taken its toll. After taking the scientists' concoctions, however, you might notice that, while you're definitely noticeable cooler, you've also ramped up the amount of sweat you're producing - to almost insane levels. Your hands are slippery, your feet are slippery, and even if you're wearing shoes, it seems to be leaking through, absolutely robbing you of any and all friction as you slip and slide around the city! Better have someone who can grab onto you and help you get about until the sweating abates or you'll find yourself careening around and into things willy-nilly.



PROMPT II: Unlicensed Squashables
image of four humanoid character dolls

The trend of offworlder goods being popular among the locals seems to be continuing with a new and weird trend in the entertainment district markets. Huggably cute, teddy-bear sized stuffed plushies in the offworlders' likenesses are being sold at various stores, but no one seems to know where they're coming from (or are just completely unwilling to give up their sources). These little pushies are insanely popular with the locals, with some special edition ones with various limited edition costumes going for a premium in Dora and getting traded among collectors. For those familiar, think of the old Beanie Baby craze, and you'll know just how dogged some of the collectors can be as they try to complete their offworlder sets. Of course, the locals aren't the only ones buying up these adorable little dolls and offworlders can find likenesses of themselves and their friends who are still in the city being sold at stores quite easily.

While it may be a weird diversion for some offworlders, for others, they may find something else that raises their hackles about this new toy trend. On occasion, people may start to feel phantom hugs, the feeling of someone giving them a lovely little squeeze, as they go about their day. While this doesn't count for contact, it's certainly weird to be alone and then suddenly feel someone you can't see hug you. Observant people might realize that this all started with the introduction of these plushies to the market, and through trial and error realize that they have some sort of connection to some plushies that share their likeness. If having phantom hugs isn't your thing, then it's time to go find whoever has your connected plushie and either get it back from them or sever the connection somehow! Thankfully only positive contact can be communicated through the plushie, so any damage or violence (why would you??) done to it isn't reflected via the connection.

But how does one sever the connection? Well, that's a bit of a problem because the merchants are absolutely baffled by this phenomenon. Any dolls they've sold to locals don't seem to be experiencing this issue - only ones sold to other offworlders. The plushies do seem to give a clue themselves, however, as they light up with a soft hue in the color of the character's god in the areas where they were last given positive physical contact. Maybe if you mimicked this contact on the plush or on the owner of the plush, it'd do something? It certainly seems like the gods are interfering in your lives again after all. The only places the plush will not light up is anywhere that consent would be needed to touch.

Alternatively, you could pull a plush heist and just steal it from its unsuspecting(?) owner. How you want to deal with this is up to you!


PROMPT III: The Factory Tour
image of a blacksmithing factory with machinery and an anvil front and center

After concerted efforts to clean and repair the Factory, it seems it's finally open for business. Mostly. Through the efforts of the locals and the offworlders, the factory machinery is back up and running, and the locals are thoroughly charmed by just how old it all is. As in, super old. They had stopped using this smelting and refining technology centuries ago for a very important reason: most of the machinery requires touch between two or more participants in order to work. This unique method of operation will require some tutoring to get used to, however, so anyone interested in learning must attend classes with the de facto owners of the factory in order to learn how. It isn't easy to be both the power source AND the operator, but with enough practice, they're sure you can learn to master this age-old technique!

There are two types of classes running for those interested: Forging Basics, where you learn how to power and heat the forge to melt and create simple metal objects at first like spoons and rods, and Smelting Basics, where you learn how to power and smelt common ore like copper and iron into useable metals for the forge. For the Forge Classes, characters will need to stay in contact with each other to power the heat in the forge - which is a strange rainbow-colored fire. The longer they're in contact with one another, the longer the fire will stay lit, and the hotter the flame will get. Characters should keep one hand on the handles outside the forge, and their other hand on each other. For example, 15 minutes of contact in this method would translate to 30 minutes of continuous forge power. The characters can adjust the flame intensity by squeezing the handles in unison, a lighter touch will lower the intensity and a harder touch will increase it. Learning to get this touch and the timing down for the correct forging of metals is one of the hardest parts of the lessons and what the classes will primarily focus on. For the Smelting Classes, characters will need to learn how to power the smelting machinery through a method similar to the Forging Classes - one hand on each other and the other one the machinery handles. This time, however, the finesse and focus of the class is in learning how to use sensitive touch in unison to add the correct amounts of each ore and other materials to result in the purest form of metal ingot in the end.

As a partner is required for each class, tag around! Find a friend and learn together.



Additionally, throughout the month at rare and random times, people who are within or in the immediate proximity of the Factory can feel the ground tremor and bump. The movement isn't large enough to knock anything over or cause any damage, and could easily be dismissed as something large passing by - except that there are no trucks that rumble in the streets. Locals are just as baffled about this phenomenon, but attribute it to perhaps the clunky old machinery thumping too loudly. Those within the Factory and near the mineshaft can on occasion hear a rumbling noise from deep within the mineshaft entrance beyond the barrier which throws a bit of doubt on the idea of the machinery being the cause.

Dianir, the month when Diacht's power begins to take hold, has begun and the effects of the previous month's rejuvenation have finally worn off. The city is fresh and new with flora and fauna, and the weather begins to turn ever hotter with each passing day as summer begins encroaching upon spring. The natives and new residents alike are adjusting to the first major changes to Havenwell's layout in centuries relatively well, all things considered, with natives slowly and cautiously beginning to expand businesses and homes into the newly opened areas. The temples are abuzz with activity as adherents flock to them, offering praise and words of thanks for the gods and the offworlders, without whom this major step forward would not have been possible.

Lasai is a beautiful month. The weather is warmer, the sky is a breathtaking blue again, and with the flowers from Ainir growing nicely, the entire city of Havenwell just feels more alive with every breath. It's a time of renewal, of rebirth, of Ainea's greatest strength as her adherents open the temple gates to invite people and robots from all walks of life to enter and share together. A recent expansion of the walls has left the outer limits of the city in a more devastated, apocalyptic appearance, and newcomers are warned to steer clear of the open areas due to the potential danger, but there are no walls to stop you if you choose to venture out...

The last month devoted to the dragon god Rawna is traditionally quiet, which gives the citizens of Havenwell a chance to adopt and integrate various festivities from other worlds into their own culture as a way to lighten things up. There are fresh displays in local businesses, custom shops, and pop-up cafes, offering discounts and deals for people who shop or dine together. You are the only ones who can support the gods in these dark days, and you need a partner to do that! So this month they are celebrating YOU. Yes, even you, strange newcomer!

Having mostly recovered from previous attacks on the city, there is still some light construction going on, but the majority of the city is in full swing celebrating Rawna's months in varying ways, depending on their factions or beliefs. The new rush of arrivals are welcome as ever, and having grown used to the cycle of these things, Havenwell's citizens are well prepared to accept you into their home.

Havenwell is normally a beautiful city - all tall spires and pure white stone glistening with gold against a blue sky. Now, it's still quite lovely, but it's marred. The wall that surrounds the city has a large glimmering hole broken through the stone and the buildings are missing bits and pieces here and there. The city is still reeling from the aftermath of its siege when a new set of souls are drawn to its shore. Good luck, new arrivals; and please excuse all the dust.

As Achtom and Ohnir flow into each other, the skies are still gorgeously blue and dotted with high fluffy clouds that never seem to threaten rain - so long as the weather stays controlled. Businesses are picking back up, the natives starting to cater once again to flesh-bodied people with varied amounts of success. The VR cafes are featuring more helmets so even more people can play along with the ever expanding selection of games. Overall, it seems like Havenwell is quite the peaceful city.

But there are still some issues to be had...

PROMPT I: Welcome to Havenwell!

Hello! Welcome! You're the first living, breathing, people here in a long time. Everyone is very excited to meet you. You met the robot when you woke up, right? The one that said you've been brought by the gods to save their world? They're a little more reserved, but you might meet some who aren't.

Once you've had the gist of the situation explained to you, been assigned your tablet, and given a map that circles where the free housing is, you're free to wander the walled city. As you go, any number of robotic citizens approach you in a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Would you like a tour? Do you need help finding your new home? How about a different map? A coupon for a local shop? A hand to hold? There's no end of helpful voices and hands.

Some of the helpful voices and hands are a little too helpful, however, and you might find yourself fending off curious robotic researchers. They ask you questions about how you came to the world, request samples of hair or nail clippings, ask for...autographs? Handshakes?? A hug???

They also seem determined to shove new arrivals together to see how they interact with one another, so you might find yourself pushed together with a stranger and asked to talk while robots look on, nod, and take notes until said robot researchers are satisfied with whatever data they're collecting.




PROMPT II: Ainea's Street Fair

In celebration of the new arrivals, the temple priests of Ainea have revived an old tradition and set up a lovely little festival by way of welcome. There are tents and games covering the streets with (prerecorded) music trying to liven up the atmosphere playing out over speakers hidden everywhere. Some games are recognizable like corn-hole, ring-toss, or knock the bottle over games. There's even a dunk tank set up on one corner, although there's a dummy on the seat instead. Someone is welcome to volunteer though and a promise of Dora as payment might just be enough to entice some people to take a turn.

There are plenty of other games as well! And most, if not all, have plenty of cheesy and cute prizes to win. Small wooden mice figures, little wooden beaded bracelets painted in different colors, weirdly colorful and stretchy sticky toy hands that you can flip around and stick to things. The big prize seems to be a large plush pink and purple panda mouse stuffed animal.

You can also find food and drinks aplenty, you don't want to go the day without anything right? Right.

...

Or maybe you do. You'll find all the food tastes off. Some foods are spicy instead of sweet, some are completely bland. Soda's are flat and coffee is fizzy. Aellyn's residents have gone without for so long, they've unfortunately forgotten a few key details about food and drink. They won't say no to help if you decide to try fixing a few things.





PROMPT III: A Night-time Delight

At night, the festival kicks into high gear with the main event. All around the temple grounds and festival stalls are small metallic round platforms big enough for two people to stand. They have railings around them for people to hold onto but are otherwise fairly nondescript slightly raised round discs scattered here and there. Temple priests encourage passersby to step into the platforms with a friend and as the sky darkens, it's clear why.

Fireworks spring into being in the sky over occupied platforms, brilliant colors and intricate designs explode to the sound of applause from the natives. Characters will find that they can create fireworks in the same colors as their god alignment. Adherents to Ainea create shining pink and purple sparks, while Rawna devotees create shimmering iridescent silver. Those aligned with Diacht create brilliant white and red, and those of Ohma make sparkling blue and gold. The designs seem to vary from pair to pair, with those who share more positive interactions on the platform capable of creating far more intricate designs. By entering the platform with someone of a different alignment, the priests explain you can use colors of both gods in your displays.

And the ones with the most beautiful or moving fireworks might find that they have a few extra Dora in their wallets when they step off the platform.




PROMPT IV: Virtual Reality

With Aellyn's technological advancements, VR entertainment took a drastic step ahead of what most people might be used to. Before their conversion to robots, VR was the height of entertainment and after, it became the only way for many residents to relive their flesh-bodied days.

The VR cafes are still around and heavily trafficked by the residents, and with all of you here now, they've been refurbished to allow the new arrivals to partake! The old headsets haven't advanced with the people (robots don't need VR headsets after all), but they're all still functioning and in good shape, freshly cleaned and touched up. There are all sorts of games available from strategy to action, rpg's and sims. Would you like to go on a grand adventure? Or maybe you'd like to build a farm? Or an amusement park? Are multiplayer games more your speed?

There's no limit to what you can do with the VR systems. Hook up, find a partner, and enjoy a game or two together! You'll notice the image quality isn't great, but if you hold hands with your game partner, there's a sudden clarity that comes in short bursts. Weird, huh?

This month's breakout hit is...!! A petting....zoo...? Well, the natives sure seem to be into it as they plug in by the droves to pet imaginary giant rainbow-colored sheep or floating fluffy cotton candy looking jellyfish creatures with tentacles that give a pleasant buzz rather than a venomous sting. All the animals featured are differently sized than their earth counterparts and strangely colored to boot. Is that a toy poodle sized pink horse with wool instead of fine hair? What about that yellow and brown mouse that's almost 5 feet tall? It's a good thing it's all a simulation, because some of the animals look freaky - like the gaseous ball of soft blue light with the cutest eyes and really long fangs. Thankfully, the animals are all very peaceful and love attention. That freaky gas cloud? It smells like fresh baked cookies and nuzzles people like a cat. In fact, every animal here is sweet - unless you happen to pet the dog-sized chickens the wrong way. Anyone unlucky enough to make them mad will find themselves swarmed by dozens of fat fluffy multicolored birds.




PROMPT V: Cuddle Weather

When you arrived, Havenwell seemed to have fair weather every day. The summer-like breeze and sunny skies were perfect for going out to explore the city and get to know your new environment.

But today, seemingly at random all over city, the blue skies turn gray and rain or snow starts pelting down. The balmy temperature plummets in these pockets of poor weather and the citizens of Havenwell quickly desert the streets affected. Shops and homes close up, warding off the damp which can mess their gears and here or there, robots can be seen retracting arms into their torso casing or deploying built-in umbrellas over their heads as they leave.

If you've found yourself in one of these bad weather pockets, you better seek shelter! The storm isn't bad enough to hurt, but it certainly isn't pleasant to go from summer to the dead of winter so quickly. Maybe you're lucky enough to find an abandoned antique umbrella big enough for two on the side of the road, or can take refuge on some closed shop's porch for a bit. Wherever you end up, you probably aren't alone in trying to stay dry so be nice and share the (admittedly meager) wealth of body heat and dry space. It shouldn't last long, but you're definitely stuck until it passes.
