▶ EVENT.015
It is spring. The land along the edge of the Nothing is in full bloom, having reached radical amounts of plant growth in a short amount of time, likely resulting from recent events.
Beautiful wildflowers will be sprouting as far as the inner city, causing petals to cascade everywhere — roads, transportations, shops — as long as there’s a window, petals will fly in! Swiffy bots can be encountered throughout the streets, doing their best to clean them up.
The Viscosus Bees continue to produce massive amounts of honey, filling the city with a distressing number of hives. You and your loved ones may start developing an abnormal fear of buzzing noises. Those with a keen sense of smell might start getting sick of the sweet aroma. And with all of this honey, ants and other problems start coming in.
▶ Ooh, Dreamweaver, I Believe You Can Get Me through the Night

Aside from nasty ants, the fragrance will be attracting all kinds of creatures anywhere they can squeeze through. Large kite-sized butterflies can be found wafting through open areas sprinkling dust that makes you frantically sneeze or irritate your eyes. Python-sized worms will be coiling their way anywhere, including underneath your bed, and eating only one sock out of the pair.
Thankfully, the news programs are quick to announce how to deal with the new ecology.
▶ Gotta Catch ‘em All
05/27 - 05/30 | top
As more and more strange creatures appear and overwhelm the Moon Knights, Lunar Scientia is rushing to launch the prototype of their pest-catching device to deal with the infestation while cataloging them for further studies. They will be requesting for volunteers to clear up the area by using the Beastmaster Cube (B-Cube for short), a light-up cube that safely captures and stores creatures of all shapes and sizes. To activate the B-Cube, simply throw it against a target!
The objective is to clear out as many creatures as possible within the city as well as the edge areas of the Nothing. Any Moonblessed who choose to work near the Nothing are advised to stay vigilant. The notorious whitesnakes will be the largest threat to the area and will have to be taken care of quickly.
On the last day of the month, the B-Cube will receive a free software update which will release the affected Moonblessed from the cube’s effects and return them to normal.
▶ The Colour Out of Space
05/31 | top
To celebrate the many successes of the Moonblessed so far in helping to restore the Nothing, the Lunatian government will be holding a large-scale farmer’s market in Lunatia Square where anyone can sell and exhibit their homemade or home-grown goods.
Expect to find oversized vegetation, many of which have absorbed the traits of the Moonblessed around them through their Chroma. Apples may turn aqua to match your eyes, watermelons may have suspiciously hard abs, and potatoes may suddenly have leg and arm-like appendages. Even weirder is that some of the mutated produce tend to scream in a suspiciously familiar manner when you bite into them.
The freshest, most beautiful-looking crops may have additional effects when consumed in large amounts: the more you eat the crops which absorbed Moonblessed traits, the more you’ll discover yourself incredibly attracted to any Moonblessed with those traits. (e.g. eating aqua-colored apples will increase your fondness for those with aqua-colored eyes)
The important part is that all of the produce is still edible! Whether or not you wish to eat them is another matter...

A Though they appear adorable and docile, nuzzling you affectionately and making tiny “squee” sounds, of particular danger are the Dreamweavers. These small pixies like to play naughty tricks on people by spraying pixie dust on them that will cause you to spontaneously daydream.
As the daydream takes shape, a visible bubble will float away from your head broadcasting your visions of deep pleasure — either innocent or lewd — to all onlookers. Imagine yourself on candy hills, floating down a river of chocolate, or caught in the throes of passion with that person you have been thinking of confessing to.
The bubbles can be popped once discovered, but getting rid of the pixies is another matter altogether. To drive them off, Prismals recommend singing a song at them… badly.

The notorious whitesnakes will be the largest threat to the area and will have to be taken care of quickly.
B An unprecedented side effect of the B-Cube is its failure to differentiate Moonblessed from animals. What a gratuitous oversight! you might be thinking. This may cause Moonblessed to accidentally capture one another.
While trapped within the B-Cube, you will be in a dormant “sleeping” state and experience nothing of the outside world. Fortunately, there is a button to release you from your prison. Unfortunately, you will not be in the same state you were in before being sucked inside.
Instead, you will either be partially or fully transformed into your chosen Moonblessing and exhibit amplified Moonblessing traits. You will also become unquestionably loyal and submissive to the one who trapped you inside the cube, and you will grow protective of them, allowing yourself to be deployed to fight or do the hardest of errands at your new master’s request.
Lunar Scientia is already on the case. Until they release a fix for the bug, those who were captured by the B-Cube can expect to get in touch with their primitive side for a few days.
On the last day of the month, the B-Cube will receive a free software update which will release the affected Moonblessed from the cube’s effects and return them to normal.

C In an effort to entice Prismals and Moonblessed alike, the Lunatian government will practically beg the ever-popular Moonblessed through all channels to come get a booth at the farmer's market for free and sell whatever they wish, provided that the items are personally grown or made by the Moonblessed. It’s a good chance to showcase your bartending, cooking, crafting, or gardening skills while raising profits and advertising your shop while you’re at it!
The other stipulation is that all items purchased through the farmer’s market can only be paid for with moonlacing rather than the Chroma or Demichroma you already have on hand. Yes, everyone will be bartering hugs and kisses for goods whether they like it or not.
For entertainment, they also welcome street performers to spice up the event. Come and entertain the guests for tips along with Amegaharan bards, dancers, and the occasional illusionist. Show off your talents, promote your business, and continue helping the Nothing prosper while you’re at it!
▶ NOTES
WILD CREATURES ▶ Unfortunately, due to their wild nature, they are not suitable to become pets. They cannot be tamed.
BEASTMASTER CUBE ▶ Kindly ask permission from players before using the B-Cube on their character. You can capture more than one Moonblessed as long as you have permission from the players. Those captured will remain in their master’s possession until the end of the month unless they end up captured by another master. Throwing a new B-Cube will overwrite and change the master.
FARMER'S MARKET ▶ As stated above, if your character wants to sell anything here, getting a booth is free. They can sell whatever is usually found at a farmer's market. They can also sell anything that isn't usually found at a farmer's market if they like to be contrary. It's a free city, and the locals love their Moonblessed.
BEASTMASTER CUBE ▶ Kindly ask permission from players before using the B-Cube on their character. You can capture more than one Moonblessed as long as you have permission from the players. Those captured will remain in their master’s possession until the end of the month unless they end up captured by another master. Throwing a new B-Cube will overwrite and change the master.

Winter Schnee | RWBY
A1. Dreamweavers - The Dreams of a Soldier
Once it became clear what happened to people who fell victim to the pixie dust, Winter was downright ruthless. The moment she heard a flutter of wings or an incoming 'squeeeee!' the electric fly swatter came out. She thought that would be deterrent enough once she dropped a few dreamweavers stunned and twitching on the ground, but she was so wrong.
If anything, being a paranoid curmudgeon painted a giant target on her back, and it was inevitable that even Winter succumbed to a daydream that put all of her deepest hopes and desires on open display. While the details could shift and change, the most likely options boiled down to three different scenarios.
In the first, it was clear that she possessed great power. It blazed from her fingertips and flared from her eyes, a cold and frosty power that swirled freely around her. She stood against terrible monsters, enormous and dark, masked and violent. A wave of her hand sent spears of ice rocketing into them, dissipating them into black smoke, before they ever reached the assembled soldiers ready to defend the city against the fearsome invaders. Atlas was safe, and Winter was its vigilant defender.
The second was almost the complete opposite. Instead of power, snow, and darkness, there was warmth, sunlight, and tall evergreens. Within the hills, a humble cottage was quaintly tucked away. Two children, a boy and a girl, chased each other in and out of the house, an enormous dog at their heels loping along to keep watch over her pack. Winter, in dark jeans and a loose silk blouse with the sleeves rolled up, put a sleeping baby gently within a crib with a warm smile on her face, the kind rarely seen outside of her time influenced by the Iris moon. She touched the curtains, peeking outside at her husband who was chopping wood and wiping the sweat from his brow. His features were foggy, indistinct...
And there was the third dream, where Winter knelt in the dirt, gardening gloves snugged up to her elbows as she carefully pruned away the weak and dead growth of a cherished rose bush. A young man who greatly resembled Winter was sitting on his heels beside her, asking questions, which she answered with a patient smile. To her left, her sister Weiss was sitting in an elegant lounge chair, an older woman drawing a brush through Weiss's long, loose pale tresses. All of them had the same features -- white hair, blue eyes -- and even someone who'd never met the Schnees would have found it easy to tell that the four people were family. The father, however, was suspiciously absent, and no one seemed all that concerned about it.
* * * * *
A2. Dreamweavers - Dreams Are For the WEAK!
[Because Winter would want the same treatment, she made it an issue to stop any time she saw someone caught in the thrall of a vivid daydream. She could stop and watch if she so chose, but she's a great respecter of privacy. Whatever is there, she only gets to see a few seconds before she gives the bubble a smart chop with the side of her hand.]
[If the pixies come back, however, you're SOL -- Winter refuses to sing poorly for any reason. How shameful!]
[She'll remain with the dreamer if they seem disoriented, but would prefer to allow the dreamer to retain their dignity and privacy. The only thing that might cause her to refrain from bursting someone's bubble immediately is if she sees herself or someone she cares about featured in the daydream. Hopefully no one is entertaining any lewd thoughts about Weiss, or they could wake up and find themselves rolling down a hill toward traffic, or head first in an outhouse where they deserve to be surrounded in the very filth they imagined.]
* * * * *
B. The Beastmaster
[Winter certainly had no intention of taking a Moonblessed under her wing to such a degree. In fact, she's quite uncomfortable with it. But it seems she has little choice in the matter, because through a chain of unfortunate accidents, or simply finding a B-Cube thrown by someone else and missed/forgotten, or even accepting them from another person who just couldn't deal with it, she now has a loyal and sentient companion who thinks she's just peachy.]
[For those who are unable or reluctant to fight, they're allowed to pass the time however they please. If they truly seem eager to help her out, she'll accept assistance with meals, chores, and continuing construction on the cottage near the edge of the city (it's almost finished!). She'll see that anyone placed under her care receives proper clothing, food, exercise, and a comfortable place to sleep. It's possible that, given enough time, she might actually start to enjoy sharing this kind of relationship. Being trusted...being able to care for another and provide for their needs...she likes that.]
[On the other hand, good fighters are still needed to defend the Prismals from more vicious insect invaders, as well as the ever-present threat of the whitesnakes. These are the ones that Winter works hard, pushing their limits, overseeing their training, even fighting against them herself if necessary. They receive the same care and attention as those who can't/won't fight, but will have far less time to sit around and idle. There's work for them to do, and Winter has no intention of slacking off.]
[If such a fighter shows promise, and is interested in having their aura unlocked, Winter may elect to do so only after providing sufficient warning that the process will drain all of the fighter's chroma and prompt an immediate, critical need for moonlacing (so they'd better be prepared to have a buddy on-hand for that, because Winter isn't going to sleep with any of her subordinates...not until it's post-event and they're no longer her subordinates).]

C. To Market, To Market / Fruit of Temptation
Far too busy to waste her time dawdling in a sea of touchy-feely commercialism, Winter chose only one (1) day to visit the open bazaar. She was loathe to pay with moonlacing on the spot, but it wasn't as if spending a few seconds hugging someone would hurt her. It was just awkward, and whoever hugged her would easily feel how stiff and uneasy she was in making the exchange. A kiss to the cheek was, for her, vastly preferred.
Even so, there were exceptions. There were always exceptions. For the rare few individuals who knew her, and had flirted or moonlaced with her previously, there was a slight possibility that one might ask for more and actually get something out of it (that wasn't a backhanded slap across the face). The product being sold had to be worth it, first of all. Secondly, the seller had to be charming enough to weather Winter's chilling stare and point out that she hadn't said 'no'. The same possibility also lay in the hands of someone with traits that matched one of the strange, oddly colored fruits she ate.
Not that it was easy to tell if she was harboring a sudden, undue attraction to anybody; her expression remained as reserved and cold as it ever did. But the careful observer might notice the signs: slightly quickened breathing and pulse, a touch more color in her pale face, a quiet clearing of the throat at an incidental touch. Whatever Winter felt, she was determined to keep those emotions under lock and key (and the equivalent of Fort Knox on top of that). Just the same, she was only human. She had her limits.
[OOC: For the reverse, eating something white and/or cold could cause an accidental attraction to Winter. Men 21+ only, no sharing with any guy who's had relations with her sister.]
