❖ MOON CYCLE 70 ❂ 06/15/11 - 06/21/11
Phase: Three-fourth waxing.

Weather: So who's tired of the heat? Anyone? Yes? No? Unfortunately, the heat wave is lasting longer than expected. But there is good news! Toward the end of the phase week, the temperatures will cool off a bit. No sign of rain this week, but there are some more clouds in the sky. So let's take a look at our new forecast.

Effects: It's been a while since characters have had their dreams effected one way or another. But this week, characters will have a tendency to dream of...water? It must be the heat, but for whatever reason, characters may find themselves dreaming of something involving water. A fun trip the beach (or bad if you prefer), walking through the rain, trapped in a bubble-it could be anything. Once the dream is broadcast, a small purple light will flash and disappear into the air, as if going somewhere. This effect is of course optional.

Notes: Just a few quick notes, but nothing too big.

• New Complete Guide! Yes, I'm still working on those information pages OTL But good news! I've finally wrangled with the code and as a test run I've implemented the potential new format to the Complete Guide. Check it out and tell me what you think. It should be a lot easier to navigate through. If there's anything missing, wrong, or could be reorganized, feel free to comment here. (And as a side note, there is supposed to be extra white space at the bottom for the shorter sections - it's just how the code works.) I'll implement this format with the other longer info pages as well.
  
  
• State of the A/C Unit. Last cycle, many characters discovered their air-conditioning units break down with repairs taking a bit of time. They will be happy to discover that these have been fixed! ...Except now they're running kind of noisily, and some may find their temperatures stuck on freezing. Some might welcome the sudden cold, but others might not. At least it's cool?
  
  
• Those weird ghosts. The strange apparitions from the last cycle are still creeping around. However, there is a slight difference. When the white ghost appears on the floating mountain, she appears at the very top. Weird. As for the black one, she's even more of an oddball. At around midnight every night she suddenly starts laughing. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that everyone can hear it. It lasts for only ten minutes, but that's ten minutes too long. And creepy. If anyone were to go out to her, she'll just tilt her head, smile that shark-toothed smile, and either disappear into the statute or down into the sink hole. She may even give your character a little zap.
  
  Why are they acting this way? Who knows. Maybe the heat is getting to them, too.
  
  
• Update your F-lists! Although the most recent batch of applications have yet to be added to the list, those who have already been accepted in the previous batches have. So this is just a friendly reminder for everyone to continue to update their f-lists as players check in, and also for new players/characters to go back and add any journals that were skipped. Another mod post with the full recent add/remove will go up once everyone has checked in.

And that's it for this week! Not too much happening...yet. Next week is the Full Moon, and for those who are new and unfamiliar, this means that a game event will occur at some point during that week. So enjoy the quiet (if hot) time while it lasts!
