❖ MOON CYCLE 53 ❂ 02/08/11 - 02/13/11
Phase: Half-waxing; each night the moon seems to shine a little brighter as it continues to glow high in the night sky. However, it also seems a little more distant than usual.
Weather: The nice, cool weather continues throughout the week. It gets a little brisk during the afternoons, but otherwise its still sunny, just chilly. As was suggested some time ago, we're going to try an implement a more "graphical" weather calendar. This is just a beta run, so expect it to change as we continue to tweak it. Color key will be found at the bottom. Tell us what you think!

* White boxes: Clear, normal day
Light Blue boxes: Clear but windy
Effects: No effects, though toward the weekend characters may find themselves dreaming either their significant other, crushes, or just something that they love in general. It's the week before Valentine's, but nothing is happening week. We're saving that for next week.
Notes: Just a few minor notes. It's a pretty relaxed week.
- Reconstruction progress. Characters may notice that there are "CAUTION: CONSTRUCTION" tapes and signs all around the village fountain and all through the Residential District (First). Where the giant tear in the barrier is, there is also a large sign saying "WARNING: DANGER". NPCs are about the place to keep a watch, but they won't bother anyone who wants to investigate the areas. A lot of buildings are still under construction, with large construction cranes now visible as they attempt to rebuild. Roads may also be blocked off as they begin repaving them. It's going slow, but Somarium is slowly going back to its normal routine.
- School's back in session. Schools are officially back in session. Some characters may even get a notice through their Dreamberry informing them of their new schedule.
And that's it! For those who are wondering, there will be a gamewide Valentine's Day "event" of sorts. It should not interfere with any character plots that you might have in mind, so no need to worry about that!
Since it looks like everyone is having a busy week, we wish you all the best! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here.
