Weeks 9-12

[artificial_intelligence]

Welcome to Fishing Season!

With the fishing season upon Atlantis at last, the city is going to be bursting with activity, both at the docks and the city center itself. For the next four weeks the ocean will be full of ships of all shapes and sizes out trying to make the most of the flood of fish filling the bay. Atlantean's have the next two weeks off for 'Spring Break' when it comes to school, and all the young Atlantean's will be making use of the time to fill the beach. The youngest children flying kites (shaped like various legendary Atlantean beasts) with their parents or building sand castles and playing Sand Leviathan, while older kids and teens will be out enjoying the warm bay waters and playing beach sports of various types. It's an active and productive time for Atlantean adults who fill their time stocking the markets, handling at the docks and offering their animals for help with fish carts. The city roads will be busy, with carts pulled by everything from island horses and goats to chocobos and hogs.

The weather is fantastic and everyone seems overall very happy, if a bit hectic. There will be plenty of jobs around for anyone looking to work, and the more venturesome individuals will find this is SPECTACULAR trading time. In addition to fish, some of the larger docking boats will be unloading crates full of fabrics and raw materials. If asked where they got them, most captains will shrug or claim to have fished them from the sea. It is difficult to guess at their origins and no one is very forthcoming with information.

Atlantean's do not celebrate April Fool's, so the month of April holds little significance to them beyond being spring time and the celebration of Gaia. Still... there may be some chaos in store for the future...

Atlantis Weeks 9-12

As far as plots go, the next few weeks have some pretty heavy NPC plot going on that will show up throughout the weeks. Look for a lot of activity from the Atlantean's themselves. A Beach and Docks log will go up at the start of Week 9, and a Market log between weeks 9 and 10 as well as several NPC posts related to the plot. Interacting with the NPC posts is highly encouraged as it will help determine how and where things go the next few weeks, but is not required!

Week 12 is especially relevant to our growing cast of werewolves, as well as to any star-gazers or astronomers.

Gabriel's Fools
Atlantean's may not celebrate April fools, but a certain trickster does. Week 11 is going to be full of pranks becoming real, chaotic weather, crazy shenanigans and a moon that appears to be made out of cheese. Is it really? Who can say?

Look for more information on this plot to come around the end of Week 10. Details are still in process

Week 9: 
3/17 - 3/23
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)
Full moon on Wednesday

Week 10: 
3/24 - 3/30
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with strong winds
The temperature will be in the 80-86F ~ 26.5-35C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)

Week 11:
3/31 - 4/6
Weather - ??? 
The temperature will be in the ??F ~ ??C range
The night sky will feature: ???

Sunday Cheese Moon is not a Full moon.

Week 12:
4/7 - 4/13
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

Four moons, with two in the sky Sun-Tuesday and a different two Wed-Friday. Just one moon on Saturday
As far as our werewolves are concerned this entire week is full of full moons with varying effects. The smallest moon Sunday-Tuesday being farthest away and 'weak' while the small orange moon the remaining four days will act as a sort of 'catnip for wolves'. Happy-high werewolves will be acting like over-grown puppies. The sky will be full of many very bright stars.

Alisha Bailey will hopefully be opening the bar during week nine, maybe a bit before (it depends on how much gets done in her current post), so stop on by if you're feeling thirsty, in need of aesthetically-pleasing company, or want a job there! Just don't shake hands with her.

Merida will definitely be all over this spring break business; not that she's enrolled anywhere, but the energy throughout the place will be new to her. After all, there isn't exactly a spring break back on the Highlands. She might even go fishing herself to trade for a kite or maybe even an animal if she's feeling adventurous. Regardless, she'll probably be hanging around the city a bit more than usual.

Milo is currently freaking out internally about how he woke up on another Atlantis, so my guess is that he'll still be trying to look into "how" over the course of the next month. And, yanno, studying the culture of the new place, maybe seeing if there's a unique, native written/spoken language for him to learn, all while slowly settling in.

[bloodwarning]

tmw more than half of my cast likes drinking and partying.

Does Alisha need another bartender? TJ makes gr8 drinks

[easy_a]

They now have a home away from home, then. :>

If he wants one, he's got it! He made a pretty good impression on her, so she wouldn't have a reason to say no.

[decemberincident]

Excellent x)
He thinks she's p chill so far too, so this'll be awesome. Bartending will be fun for him. At some point my other peeps will hit up the bar too.

alisha will you serve a sixteen year old

[easy_a]

They can swap past party experiences in between crowds. :3

Yes, she will. She'd be a hypocrite if she didn't.

[decemberincident]

YES that would be amazing. TJ's had some crazy ones. He could also tell her about the time he got high in the Lincoln bedroom.

Score. Erica will like her.

[easy_a]

Oh wow, that is a good one. She'd love to hear it.

STAY ON HER GOOD SIDE, ERICA. She'll refuse to serve if she doesn't like her. Alisha is a horrible person in that sense.

[decemberincident]

It'll be the best conversation

SHE'LL TRY. hopefully she can. Jo's already going to hate her

[easy_a]

Definitely.

Alisha will hopefully be pretty blunt and straightforward if Erica ends up at-odds with her or any of her employees. YOU CAN A) GO SIT IN THE BACK AND SHUT UP, OR B) LEAVE sort of bluntness.

Here's some interesting facts for Milo. Atlanteans here also know the language from his version of Atlantis, though they mainly speak English, many of them know other languages and the Library, should he ever have interest in checking it out, has books in a number of language including some alien ones.

Also the ships from Atlantis are often seen flying around the island, and Hull and a few of the natives sport the same glowing tattoos, though none of the crystals

[iswimprettygirl]

TAKING NOTES ON ALL OF THIS.

Thanks a bunch! :>

[whitejediknight]

Alisha seems to have gotten a lot of attention for her bar. Creedy is more than happy to supply her with alcohol and set up the bar, sorry I've been pretty sluggish with the replies. If she isn't swamped with bartenders he'll volunteer, but if she seems to have enough interest in that respect he may just help her keep up stock.

I'd like Merida to maybe run into Henry. He's not exactly close to her age when it comes to kids but he'd enjoy watching her with her target practice and maybe learning to use a bow himself.

A good number of my characters will be very interested in Alisha's bar.

[easy_a]

It's alright! No worries about being slow; I'm usually slow myself so I can't judge. XD He's still free to work for her if he has nothing better to do; she can always technically schedule people to work different positions on different nights to keep things flowing well. I know you were one of the first to show an interest in having a character work there, so if you want him to bartend, I'll find a way to make everything work. :>

And aaaw! Sure, I'm up for that! If you'd like, you can throw him in Merida's last post (as she's doing a bit of target practice there :>). She'd be happy to let him watch and/or teach him how to shoot an arrow.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Tifa showed up after Alisha's post, but when the bar opens, Tifa will definitely come in looking for a job!

Also Clint and Merida. Can he just adopt her she's so adorable?

[bear_with_her]

She's welcome to apply then! :>

He can try, though he might have to work out a joint custody schedule with Thor.

[bowsbeforehoes]

it's okay. clint and thor are bros. they can work out a schedule. :)

[bear_with_her]

Yaaaay!

PS she wants a pony for Christmas.

[going_ghost]

Rooose Marieee~

I foresee bizarre friendships with an awkward angel and/or a ghost boy and/or an adorable dog for your characters. :3

[bear_with_her]

Hello hellooooo~

All three.



Both three.

[dogface]

GREAT GIF SELECTION.

All both three it is. :]a

[bear_with_her]

Thanks!

And yippee! Three is a magic number, after all.

Also, have we met before? I might be having a brain lapse (which is entirely possible) but I feel like I should ask. XD;;;

[fallen_angel]

Yes, it is a magic number. It's the number of times I sneeze. :D

Not really.... I'm Katana. I'm pretty new around here and just added Bolt and Danny to my list over the weekend. They aren't even in the game yet. So don't feel bad for not remembering me.

[bear_with_her]

Oh wow! Yay!

Oh, I meant in the past. XD Your name just sound super familiar, that's all. And to be fair, "Katana" is pretty common in SNs and the like, sooo I might just be having a super duper blonde moment.

[fallen_angel]

No worries about the blonde moment! I'm pretty sure we all have those, whether or not we are actually blonde. ^^

Also: I don't think I've met you before, but I could be wrong about that.

[easy_a]

Aaaw thank you! <3

Watch, three months from now, we'll discover some sort of connection. Even if it's "none at all."
