August Plot Calendar
Summary: August is named in honor of Caesar Augustus, and is as turbulent a month as that would imply. While July is behind us, the Dog Days linger on, and August is often host to stormy weather, both politically and literally. The Gardens are no exception, and a powerful storm blows in from outside of its borders.
[OOC] August 1: Activity check!
August 5: A powerful storm blows into the Gardens, with wind and rain powerful enough to get into even the sturdiest of shelters. Only the structures of the Necessities, kept intact though the power of the Incarnae, will be safe until the storm recedes.
⇒ This is the beginning of the month's event. All characters will be brought together, for better or for worse, while they wait out the storm.
August 8: The storm recedes, and the Garden's inhabitants may safely leave the confines of the Necessities. The fierce wind and flooding has caused considerable damage to the Garden, but where the destruction took place, new life has taken hold.
⇒ In the storm's aftermath, a new, seemingly harmless species will be found growing throughout the Garden, wherever the storm has done damage.
August 10: As the Garden's inhabitants attempt to return to normalcy in the aftermath of the storm, they will find that normalcy difficult to obtain. Having already been forced to share physical space this month, they will now find themselves drawn together in a different manner.
⇒ As this new species blooms throughout the Garden, the Garden's inhabitants will find themselves sharing dreams, entering one another's sleeping worlds and interacting with them.
August 15: As the shared dreams continue, they begin to take a darker turn, and it becomes apparent that the events of this shared dream have implications for the waking Garden.
⇒ As the shared dreams turn darker, they begin affecting the physical world of the Garden, damaging it further. The only way to put a stop to it, and thus prevent the Garden from falling apart altogether, is to exterminate the invasive species, now that its destructive effects are known.
[OOC] August 15: How's My Driving?
⇒ The official Queen of Hearts HMD will occur on August 15th. Participation is optional and players are expected to be mature about it.
