Important Announcements for May

Toward the end of April, the weather starts to slowly clear up bit by bit, lowering down to May's weather of alternating light sprinkles and a mix of cloudy and half-cloudy days. Mornings are very, very foggy so visibility is going to be very rough before 9am.
The Red Spring's hot springs are back open. Inns are cleaned up from the flooding (thankfully magic means cleanup doesn't take as long!) While the alternately listed areas on last month's TDM are still available if every you want to thread in those areas, the TDM will return to its normal prompt option this month.
New NPC appointment threads may be delayed until the second half of the month as the mod handling NPC threads has jury duty, so will be focusing on the ones already going. You may still request them, but please recognize that there may be a delay in starting.

NEW Housekeeping Updates:

Please double-check to make sure your information is updated on the taken list if you haven't already. We will start sending out PMs after the activity check is over this month if your information is still missing!
Drawing done via Tutturu livestream to determine the winner of the Magic Carpet item from last month's event. The winning character was: Hikaru & Kaoru Hitachiin (single entry)
Game History page has been updated to include a very brief summary of events throughout the game. This will later be supplemented with links to lore people can find in libraries, at the archivist, and non-event reveals (there's one in there now but the section is incomplete because I've got to go gather). This will be updated toward the start of each month on a monthly basis.
Per player suggestions, we will be adding a "Key Points" section to future TDMs and events to try to make it easier for players to process large posts. Name and format of that section may change slightly as we figure out the best way to implement it to best support players.

Monthly Updates Summary:

The inventory section on the application has had the following specifications: Large-scale explosives are not permitted (rocket launchers, bazookas, bombs, etc.) or will be replaced with a confetti-launcher version upon arrival. Ammo-based weapons arrive with the equivalent of a single clip of ammunition; you may use additional inventory slots for additional clips (or equivalent-- a quiver of arrows, for example, whatever it would be for your weapon/ammunition). Further ammunition can be purchased via Rewards after acceptance.
Secondary magic options have been added to the application.
We have made some additions to the mod team in the form of helper mods: AL, Belmont, Fiona, and Orange Crates.
Locations page updated (map, added: Forest of the Fisher King, End of the World)
New Permanent Rewards added: (Recipe) Archivist's Totem, (Item) Social Media Influencer Verification
Character Businesses page has been updated to include Social Media Influencers now.
FAQ updates:
- Hiatus policy clarification under "What about hiatuses?"
- Activity drop re-application requirement added under "How do drops work?"
- FAQ question added: Can my character own their own business or make money as a social media influencer?
