[OPEN LOG] Welcome to Cape Beryl!

Who: Everyone!
When: Spring 2nd - all day.
Where: All across Cape Beryl.
What: You've splashed down into the Harvest Goddess's sacred pond, pulled yourself out - or perhaps been pulled out by an out-of-breath and soaking stranger, shaken off the worst of the shock of the cold and the unexpected trip underwater, and likely by now noticed that the little silver piece of jewelry that put you through this seems to have found its way around your neck.

Now you ought to get your bearings. Leave Goddess Grotto whenever you're ready, take the path out along a beach and up the cliffs to a village - see where you are, maybe if you can get directions. No matter what, you're going to realize that you're somewhere new - but maybe some of the Bower Village townspeople will be willing to help you get sorted out. If nothing else, maybe you'll be drawn into talking to anyone else you might catch sight of wandering the village, disoriented, soaked to the skin, and with a silver heart-shaped pendant around their neck. Depending on how you see it, you're not all alone - not any more than everyone else, anyway.

Headers for open interactions in example locations will be posted - but by all means, start threads wherever and with whoever you like!

Rating: Expected K-PG - subject to change as appropriate.



It's a cool, early spring day - the air and the breeze may not agree with anyone with wet clothes. But apart from that, the atmosphere is pleasant and peaceful; distant chirps of birds can be heard from the mouth of Goddess Grotto to Mt. Throne. The trees and grasses are pale green and flowers are budding in the meadows - not to mention the garden at Florist Lilia and de Sainte-Coquille Park.

And the town at the top of the cliffs is somewhat drowsily at peace. It's far from deserted - stabled behind a house on the town's east side is a healthy-looking mule, and a pair of chickens and a goat hang around in a pen behind an inn, the town's brightly-dressed mailwoman is out and about, as is the town watchman, who will likely be ready to approach anyone with an unfamiliar face before they can approach him, if he happens to catch them on his rounds. However, although anyone may freely knock on any of the doors in Bower Village and expect a polite "come in", no one is prepared for company, and whoever is inside might jump at finding themselves talking to a clearly displaced stranger!

"Huh? Oh... uh, s-sorry. Kanji." He hadn't introduced himself either, but it wasn't like he did it often enough to make a habit of it.

He nodded toward the inn. "They can hook you up, run what you got on through the wash. I mean, if they'd do it for me, then they'd do it for you too."

Kanji looked away again, sweeping back his hair and hoping it'd stay. Fat chance of that until he got his hands on some hair gel. "What ya got on looks delicate. Bit old. If whoever washes that outfit manhandles it a little... I-I can fix it."

She nodded, looking over towards the inn. "Thanks for the tip, Kanji."

The towel had helped but it felt oddly chilly for May, even taking the wet clothes into account, and she couldn't help shivering a bit.

"Fix it?" Lily glanced down at her white dress. "It's just an old thing I got from an estate auction." It had been part of a lot along with a trio of blouses but she had deemed it a bit worn to be put on sale in the shop. So, she had kept it for some of her spellcasting work instead.

He shrugged, then. "If ya say so. Looked like a hand-me-down from family or somethin'."

The scarred boy sighed, stretched his arms over his head, and turned sidelong. "Anyways, I gotta meet up with a friend, figure out what the hell I'm gonna do now that I'm stuck here."

He shrugged again, stiffly, turning away before the pink to the face was more obvious. "Promise is a promise, y'know?"

A quick glance her way. "You, uh... g-good luck, yeah?"

She shook her head. "No, nothing like that."

A friend? Had he fallen into the pond with someone else? "Okay, I won't keep you then. And thanks."

She gave him a nod in farewell and then turned towards the inn, in search of dry clothes and hopefully some answers about this place.
