There is a small earthquake during this (shaking, some things may fall off of shelves, but no structural damage) that upsets the normal arrival creatures, limiting cliff-falling rescues and sliming the water. They travel to Camelot, which is a multiple day journey, so they stop at the Red Springs along the way and stay at an inn there. A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival KERPLUNK, SPLASH! Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's still chilly, but not enough that you can't manage on your own. The Lady of the Lake is swimming around under the water, helping to rescue any wayward travelers who look like they're struggling in the water. This month's helpers are giant pillow jellies, a species of jellyfish that is capable of ballooning itself at the surface to create bouncy pads for characters to hop across to the shore, should they choose or not be able to swim. They come in a variety of bioluminescent colors, but do not seem to be very talkative even to animal magic users. Those who try may find themselves being ignored, even if they hear the jellies talking amongst themselves about this and that. In the middle of the new arrivals, there is a small earthquake that shakes the island and makes the waters choppy. The jellyfish are startled and release a glow-in-the-dark slime that may dye your characters' hair and skin until they can get a proper bath. The Lady of the Lake seems disquieted by the earthquake, but there isn't much to be done about it where they are now besides make sure that everyone is outside of the water as quickly as possible. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, as the earthquake has scared the cliff beast into hiding, meaning for July's arrivals, there is no safety net. They may need some serious help if a fall occurs! *Reminder: Your character's familiar may or may not be with your character in their initial plunge. If the familiar isn't partial to water, it may meet your character on the beach or sit atop their head while they swim. Or if they are, they might splash about and swim alongside your character. Familiars have different personalities and body specs and we leave those up to the players. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones, sunscreen, a pair of sunglasses, and a pair of ear buds and tell them to "Check the Shit Box." The "Shit Box" refers to wardrobe more formally known as the Wardrobe of Finding, a hammerspace-like wardrobe that opens to each person's items and pets when the person touches the handle. It was enchanted by Merlin to prevent people from having to fish their waterlogged possessions and pets out of the water with them. From there, Archimedes directs everyone to settle in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and gives them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of the universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go. These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk. C ⦿ The Red Spring The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies. If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out! The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. SUMMARY: Camelot throws a carnival to combat the warming up weather featuring "cool" foods and contests, Queen Elphame sent gifts of aquatic mounts to practice in gratitude for the offering and peacemaking with Celliwig, and the clean-up for the carnival goes haywire as cleaning implements magically seek to clean everything. Thankfully, not every minute of Avalon is adventure and trials and rituals. There are moments of respite, and moments to have fun. This July, for example, locals have decided to invite everyone to what they're calling the "Cool Down Carnival"! A ⦿ Cool Carnival, Bruh Vendors of all kinds have taken to selling cooling goods throughout the carnival grounds. Shaved ice, frozen yogurt, gelato, ice cream, iced tea and boba drinks are everywhere, and each and every vendor is vying for the attention of customers. Whether it's coupons for free snacks if they fill out a punch card for all three days of the carnival, or trying out their new, more magical recipes of frozen slush that make you temporarily behave like a penguin and try belly-sliding down a slip-n-slide that's been set up to occupy the unfortunate victims of that slush (It wears off, don't worry.) Perhaps most notably is the Margaritaville Pair Challenge. If you and an acquaintance can down a giant schooner of frozen margarita in less than a minute together, you'll both get a free happy hour item once a day for the next month from the restaurant and they'll do you a solid and teach you (Recipe) Hangover Moveover, a recipe that instantly cures hangovers. The brain freeze caused by downing that much frozen drink is yours to deal with, unfortunately... B ⦿ Surf New Turf In the evening, the fae folk of the carnival crew lead the way to uproot the party off toward the docks near Camelot. The Elphame Traders came back this past month with good tidings from Queen Elphame, who was impressed both with the gift of a ship and the winning over of Celliwig's people. To this end, a second ship was sent with the Elphame Traders to provide a means of transportation to the faery Kingdom of Elphame without passing through the Forest of the Felled: aquatic mounts. However, they aren't exactly easy for anyone who isn't an animal mage and will require practice before anyone can set out. You'll need at least one person to steer and one person to act as a combatant, as the lake north of the arrival point is more than a little treacherous but that will be a journey for another day. (Maybe the 20th? Stuff seems to coincidentally always happen around then, huh... Weird.) For now, the fae who stayed behind from the Elphame Traders this month are sticking around to help you find a partner and an aquatic mount that gets along with the two of you. Most of the creatures who have agreed to be mounts are hanging out alongside he beach near the old docks, so you can go around and check out the different kinds of available mounts: Alpacapies: Cousin to the much more violent water horse fae the Kelpies, Alpacapies have been mistaken for baby loch ness monsters on more than one occasion given their penchant for sitting with just their hump and long neck above the waterline. They can be ridden in the water and tend to bond with people who are polite to them upon greeting. They will assist in combat by spitting water at their enemies or kicking with front legs, but they may shake you off if they need to deep dive to gain speed for an attack. They do not have back legs, only a dolphin-like fin. For some reason, they're really impossible to take photographs of. Mossatees: You're familiar with the mossatee already. A special breed of manatee that grows flowers and moss on its back like a miniature garden. They blossom in the spring, and their backs can be very comfortable. They're a little clumsy and tend to run into things, both accidentally and on purpose, so it may be a bit of a derpy ride if you and your partner choose a mossatee. They also just had a lot of children, so part of riding with them will mean protecting their young on the journey. They're not good in combat and will prioritize defense. Deinosuchus: A Cretaceous crocodile that gets up to about 10 meters long. It's huge and carnivorous and very well could eat you if you piss it off. It is fast, but has to take a lot of breaks. It will also terrorize in a fight. The fae recommend bringing it a goat or some other similarly sized meal to get it on your side if you want to go for this one. This pack is the only one left, transported by fairies to Avalon long, long ago, so you'd better not let them down. Once you've found a mount that seems right, try to practice balancing on its back. They don't much like saddles so that may be a challenge, but if you hold onto your partner it might be easier! Once you're settled, try racing against another pair or going through a Survivor-esque obstacle course with your mounts. C ⦿ Clean Up Chaos As people head out for the second day of practice with their mounts or recover from a crazy carnival experience, things around town... seem a little off. It seems like someone tried some experimental magic after competing in the Margaritaville challenge feeling particularly benevolent. All around Camelot, cleaning utensils have taken on a life of their own. Brooms are sweeping customers right out of restaurants, sponges are scrubbing up dishes and chasing down patrons for the most public sponge baths of their life, and the local woodland creatures are assisting in picking up and taking away anything that touches the floor that ought not to be there. Some are even hopping up on residents to do their hair! Whatever the source is, the only solution is to either destroy or scare the cleaning supplies off to the woods before they take over the whole town! A little magic should help, so why not test out the magic you've been working on since arriving in Avalon? SUMMARY: The earthquake busted some of the Land of Rot wards and zombies are attacking Camelot's farmland. Save the farm, restore the wards, fight a giant worm, and then find a mysterious marsh before getting transported back home just as mysteriously. The earthquake on arrival day was a little frightening, but ultimately didn't seem to cause too much trouble around New Camelot. That is, until a few days later when the farmlands seem to be under attack.. by the undead!? It seems like the wards surrounding the Lands of Rot were disrupted by the earthquake near Camelot's northeast farmland. ' A ⦿ The Farming Dead Step one is to fight the hoard of zombies spilling out into the farm and stop them before they contaminate Camelot's food source. Use whatever means you can to dispense of the undead, keeping the following in mind: death mages are going to be the most effective combatants against the undead, but anyone can follow the basic rules of zombies to clear a path. Loud noises attract their attention, they shamble during the day and can move more quickly during the night, they don't feel pain so if you hurt the they won't be deterred-- you have to kill them, and always double-tap if you aren't sure. Just be careful not to set them on fire. Flaming zombies can spread fires to buildings and other surroundings and are just generally worse than regular zombies! Once the zombies are cleared out, farmworkers will bring out gifts of fresh lemonade and some extra mixed herb seeds they gathered throughout the year. They're still good, please take them as a thanks for helping save the farm! B ⦿ Of Wards and Worms After searching the perimeter of the Land of Rot, sources have found that the wards were damaged on the west side, so the zombies haven't fully penetrated any areas but the farm. Pair up with another person to draw the attention of the zombies away from wards while the other person resets the wards. While doing this, you'll find the earth is rumbling again-- a little heavier this time since you're much closer than back in the Bay of Avalon. Rather suddenly, a huge sinkhole opens up in the desert landscape of the Land of Rot nearby... and out leaps a thousand-toothed worm, flying through the air and diving back toward the ground teeth-first... with your character right in its target location! Maybe you're lucky and get out of the way only to get knocked down by another huge tremor, or maybe you've just been swallowed whole by a giant worm and really, really need to find a way out for you and your partner! Maybe you'll find something interesting while you think... Is that a broken boat in here? Hopefully you find your way out (or.. if you don't, you find someone to resurrect you, but that would really suck if you just arrived!) C ⦿ Wake Me Up Before You're Go-Gone First zombies, then a giant worm... today's been exhausting! And now you're.. somewhere in the middle of the Land of Rot and you seem to have run into some kind of marsh that you don't remember passing on your way in. The water itself is murky and the only creatures around seem to be bugs, bats, snakes, and frogs. Everything seems sickly, rotting, and is pretty awfully stinky. But none of it is quite as terrifying as when you and whoever you wandered into the Land with stumble upon what appears to be some kind of old hag. What happens next? Who knows. She screams and both you and whoever you're with pass out and wake up snuggling in an inn room. You were definitely in that marsh though, because your pants are still sopping from trudging through it... Well, enjoy the panic, maybe interrogate your neighbors, and try to find out where in the Land of Rot you were! It sure doesn't seem to be on the map... What a mystery!

[reloves]

( 1a. soaking in your arrival )

[ It's one thing to suddenly find yourself in another place.

It's an entirely different thing to find yourself suddenly plunging into the water, and then just get your hair completely covered in jellyfish slime. Which means that sure, sure, Minako is standing outside the water now, and she's very much alive, but her usually blonde hair is now just glow-in-the-dark coloured.

And even in the middle of all the confusion, that won't do. So if you happen to be there too, you might just hear a girl starting to scream: ]

Who would do something like this?! Don't you know it's a crime to mess with a girl's hair?! Even if hairdressers everywhere might forgive you, I certainly won't!

[ Yes, she's just yelling at the sky rather than anything in particular.

Young girl yells at cloud. ]

( 2a. cool carnival bruh )

[ Hey. Do you happen to be wandering around the festival? If so, you might find a teenage girl suddenly hooking her arm with yours. Way too enthusiastically, especially for a stranger. ]

I'm so glad you want to do the Margaritaville Pair Challenge with me!

[ Did you agree to this?

No, but Minako seems to somehow have agreed in your place. Do you try to escape, or do you go along with it? ]

( 2c. clean up chaos )

[ Minako has given up.

Anyone who views the chaos of all the cleaning equipment having taken on a life of its own may find Minako there, sitting on the ground, with a whole bunch of woodland creatures currently looking through and climbing over her hair. The teenage girl looks so defeated. ]

My hair is never going to have a moment of peace here..

[ But when she spots you, some life returns to her eyes. Desperately. Minako reaches out her arms, calling out: ]

W-Wait, help me! Please get rid of these things! [ Somehow. She doesn't care how. Save her hair. ]

2a

[imperfectwish]

[The moment Minako hooks arms with her and begins being so enthusiastic is the moment Machi just gives her this thoroughly confused look.]

I... did?

[Did she? She doesn't remember it.]

[reloves]

Of course!

[ She says it so weirdly confidently too. Despite it being so obvious here that no part of Machi agreed with this, Minako says it as if she has somehow managed to twist reality in her favour.

At least nothing about it seems to be mean-spirited. The wide smile on Minako's face is very much genuine, and she looks pretty excited about the whole idea. ]

After all, don't you think us cute girls have to stick together? If we won't support each other, then who will!

[imperfectwish]

[Now Machi is pretty certain here she didn't. For one she's never drunk before (underage, y'know?) and she can be so shy with strangers it's hard enough to just talk let alone play a game with one.

Minako is beaming a wide grin though and seems so pleased that Machi isn't wholly sure how to shrug out of this. Kimi could be bad but Machi often went along with what she wanted too simply because it was easier than fighting so...]

I ... don't mind trying it out.

[It could be fun even, playing games with someone else. She wanted to change and experience new things after all.]

[roseeclair]

[Of course Makoto's at the beach... ever since she arrived here about four months ago and Usagi found her, she's been coming here to look for more people from home, or at least to help other new arrivals get their bearings.

The earthquake is definitely new. Thankfully she and her familiar Kaede- a bear formed of pure, jade green lightning- had already descended the cliffs and are able to wait it out on a clear patch of sand away from the cliffs. Phew... that wasn't so bad. But then the water starts turning strange colors... and oh. Oh, that is a FAMILIAR voice shrieking her little lungs out, one that sends Mako into a full sprint!]

Mina-chan!

[reloves]

[ There are few things that can disturb Minako's fury at having her hair seemingly ruined.

A familiar voice in an unfamiliar situation is one of those few things. The girl's head immediately turns to look for the source of the sound, knowing who that voice belongs to, only to then spot Makoto. Which isn't all that weird, maybe they somehow both got dropped into this odd place together - which makes her sure hope it isn't some enemy attacking them, but.. then.

But then she notices the bear following the other girl.

And that brings along another whole new kind of panic with it, her hair momentarily forgotten. ]

Watch out, behind you..!

1/2

[roseeclair]

[Wait, what? She turns to look behind her and just sees Kaede--oh! She stops in place and gives Minako placating jazz hands.]

It's okay, he's with me, Kaede's with me!

2a

[beewulf]

[Congrats Minako. You just grabbed onto a huge mountain of muscle, scars and wicked tats of a scary looking guy. At least he certainly looks like he could drink most of anyone here under the table with ease? Said scary looking guy is now looking down at her with a slight frown.]

I don't remember agreeing to that.

[reloves]

[ It says something about her sheer guts that she doesn't even seem fazed in the view of who exactly her victim game partner is. Sure, this guy looks like he could pick her right up and fling her straight into the sun, but does that care Minako? Apparently not at all, since she just smiles widely in the face of all this. Not a single muscle in her face twitches.

There's apparently some balls of steel going on here. ]

Ah, really? [ She sounds so surprised. What do you mean, dude! You didn't agree? That's news to her! ] But you look exactly like the kind of guy who would love to win free happy hour items!

2c

[clavat]

Wow, you certainly got yourself in a bind, didn't you?

[Look, Layle just couldn't help but laugh a little at the girl's plight. Reminded him of a certain Selkie, if he were honest. Nonetheless, he wasn't one to leave someone hanging so he made his way over to get a better picture of the situation, bending down a little. She would notice a crystal embedded into his cheekbone at this angle but, if she were like any of the other otherworlders, then he figured he wouldn't know just what he was.

Well, at least it was all just woodland creatures. Even if were the various utensils and cleaning supplies he's seen also doing their best to help, it didn't really matter. Anything smaller than lilty-size was pretty easy for him to carry even without his crystal bearer abilities. Mainly because his new abilities were kinetic which was similar enough for him to get a feel for...just:]

You're gonna have to sit still. I haven't exactly had these kinetic powers for long, but I'm used to working with gravity so, it should still work. Okay?

[Basically, he was going to try and pull the creatures from her hair but if she started flailing and got the creatures riled up, there was a risk they'd yank her hair.]

[reloves]

[ Minako is going through a true rollercoaster of emotions here.

Granted, she has been going through that basically all day now, but this? This sure isn't helping. Because at first she just feels relieved to be getting some help with her current predicament, and then maybe even excited when she realises it's a cute guy helping her (though the crystal thing is a little weird, but look, she can live with it)..

.. but then he speaks.

And Minako feels absolutely every single emotion within her instead turn into dread. ]

H-Hold on! [ She quickly says before he can do anything. ] Are you sure you can do this?! Do you realise what you could be doing to my hair if this goes wrong?! What if I end up bald?!

[ THAT'S A LIVING NIGHTMARE. ]

2a!

[divinereaper]

[ of course naoto didn’t agree to it, he’s got a tea shop to run and it’d be super unprofessional to show up drunk, but then again, that hangover moreover would do wonders just in case… ]

Yeah, no problem… um… what’s your name?

[ he prays makoto won’t find out about this… ]

[reloves]

[ Apparently Minako found the perfect type to latch onto: the type who's willing to go along with this way too easily.

And hey, she sure isn't going to complain about being able to cling to a guy's arm for a while either. It's a win-win situation! .. although both of those wins may be on Minako's side, so maybe not a true win-win situation. ]

It's Minako!

[ She gives him a wide smile. ]

Right, right, you're very smart! If we're going to work together for this, we should get to know each other first!

2A

[lastexit]

[Maya jumps, just slightly, at the sudden contact. Trying to get her mind around the flow of words and action that has nothing to do with her- yet she is now involved in.]

...Do I know you?

[Her manner is stifled, like she's not quite all there with what's going on around her. Especially with this surprise.]

[reloves]

You do now!

[ .. apparently. Maybe things just are that simple to Minako, since nothing what she says seems aimed at making fun of the other. Even the smile on her face just seems very genuinely excited - though perhaps a tad too excited, considering the circumstances. ]

You need a partner to participate in the pair challenge, after all! Don't you think we look like we'd do well together?

2a

[saxsongs]

[Ren blinks in confusion for a second before smiling his charmer smile.]

Of course. Who would say no to pairing up with a lady as beautiful as you?

[reloves]

[ ...

Hang on for a moment here.

Minako just grabbed a random available arm, whatever was the closest by, so she sure didn't realise that she was actually grabbing the arm of a total dreamboat here. It stuns her enough that for a moment she can only stare in the face of that killer smile, totally charmed by it.

Minako, you've done it. This is it. This is what your entire life has been leading up to..! ]

B-Beautiful..? [ She repeats, almost whispered more than said, but then the girl quickly shakes her head as she tries to shake off the blush. COME ON, MINAKO, CONFIDENCE. ] W-Well, you sure have good taste to be noticing that! After all, you're being graced by the company of the goddess of love and beauty herself right now..!

1A

[reincarnatedprince]

[Like the senshi, Mamoru also visits the beach during arrivals. He can hear Minako before he sees her and heads over her way.]

Unfortunately, I can only provide you with a towel in your hour of distress.

[reloves]

[ Now that's a familiar voice if she's ever heard one. ]

.. Mamoru-san..

[ Great. Minako wasn't too sure if there were any familiar faces around - she kind of was too busy falling into the water to notice much of that - but this is the last way she'd ever want to meet them. Covered in jelly gunk.

It's enough to first make her look a bit embarrassed, and then a bit annoyed. ]

It feels like a towel won't be enough. It feels like this stuff is going to be in my head for the next hunderd years! [ Just give her a moment to be dramatic. She'll get serious soon enough. ]

2a

[whirlwindthrust]

The what challenge?

[ The heck is a margarita? Where the heck is Margaritaville for that matter? Cue one confused Yaksha standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.

Right now he is operating under the assumption that it will be explained to him and then he can just walk away? ]

[reloves]

[ Oh no. This poor, innocent thing, thinking that there's any getting away from Minako Aino.

Though it seems innocent enough. For now. Since Minako just smiles as she explains, apparently completely unbothered by having to do so. ]

Okay, okay, let's start at the basics! Have you ever heard of a margarita before?

2a

[sefirot]

[Wait what? Who is this girl daring to touch him? And what is she even talking about?? He only wandered through to see what is going on.

Sadly he did not bring the sword on this adventure so he has to resort to trying to lift his arm out of her grasp.]

I agreed to nothing.

[He looks down at her with green cat-like eyes and briefly wonders if this is what people refer to as 'karma']

[reloves]

[ Alas, poor Sephiroth. Little does he know that handsome guys with long, light hair is exactly Minako's type. He was doomed from the very moment he decided to see what was up at this festival. Her radar never misses this type.

And for a moment it seems like she's going to keep desperately clinging onto his arm. Minako sure manages to hold on for a bit more, at least, until the arm finally is pulled out of her grasp.

Boo. Party pooper. ]

Sure, but you've got to want those free happy hour items, right? I mean, they're free! And they're happy hour items!

[ Clearly the one thing he still needs in life. Or it sounds like Minako is trying to sell it that way, anyway. ]

1A.

[langa]

[ Why was she yelling? He understood the frustration. The confusion. The, well, everything about this, really. But she didn't really seem to be yelling at anyone or anything just -- he turns his attention.

Oh. He sees it now.

He must have gotten to shore before the slime became an issue. His familiar, a small yet, peeks up from the back of his head over at her. Flatly, he answers: ]

I'm sure it will wash off.

[ If the slime isn't what she's upset about, this is sure going to be awkward. ]

[reloves]

[ The good news is that she's definitely upset about the slime.

The bad news is that there's no way she's going to calm down so easily once she's gotten worked up, which means that once she turns her head to look in the guy's direction, Minako still looks so ready to fight. ]

And what if it doesn't?! What if my hair is just stuck like this forever now?! [ It's hard to tell if she's angry or just whining. A little bit of both, probably, and she's starting to stomp over in his direction. ] Who do I sue for ruining the hair of the goddess of love and beauty herself then?!
