❖ MOON CYCLES 18 + 19 ❂ 05/05/10 - 05/12/10
Phases: Half to 3/4 waxing; the moon phases are faster than usual, with shorter time periods between each phase. The stars seem to shine brighter with each passing night, and the skies are only partly cloudy.
Weather: The temperatures are still comfortably warm, with bright blue skies. Later in the week there will be a few light showers in the morning, but it will always clear up before 11 AM. There will be one day of heavy rain, Saturday, May 8.
Effects: Various effects will occur during this phase:
- Characters will start to feel a little bit homesick, and will be more likely to dream about some past memory, their childhood, or about their home. All dreams will emit a Sky Blue color upon broadcasting, and the light will be more obvious than before. They may also feel a bit more nostalgic upon waking.
- The "ghosts" that have been residing will also become more solid, and on Saturday, May 8, all NPCs will be completely solid and will behave like normal human beings.
- On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 9, any dreams pertaining to the character's mother will also emit the Sky Blue color.
- Characters may start to feel restless and will seek out things to do with their free time.
Notes: Just a few extra notes about the above effects:
- Everything is optional. All the effects are of course optional, so no one has to feel obligated to have their characters undergo any of the above effects.
- Ghosts become people. The transformation of the NPCs is gradual, but it will also be noticeable. They will be less translucent and eventually become completely solid. This means they have the same properties of any other human being and can get hurt by any actions done upon them. They will no longer have any of their "ghostly" qualities, however they will still act like they normally have.
- Food restock schedule. The food is still at just a sustainable amount, but no one should starve. Once the NPCs become people, however, characters may find it more of a challenge since they will also be consuming more goods. Stores will restock every Wednesday morning and Saturday evening.
- Somni becomes livelier. As the week goes on, characters may also notice that the streets are becoming noisier with traffic and people bustling about.
That's it! We're combining this week's moon phase and next week's since this is coming up so late. But that also means that the next Full Moon event will last a little longer. Characters are welcome to notice any of the changes that are occurring.
