dec event overflow.
prologue
You awake to find yourself in a bed that creaks with your every movement, motes of dust flitting about the sparsely lit room. Whether you wake alone or with another by your side, you exit the worn-down building to find yourself on an old, abandoned farm. It isn’t long before a familiar voice lilts in your ears, carried to you on the breeze—
“Hurry over to the town square. Chop chop!”
Whether you go willingly or find your feet inexplicably compelled to trudge into town makes no difference. Once you arrive, you find yourself surrounded by a small ocean of new faces— some confused, some angered, and others quite chipper. At the center of the crowd is a bright-eyed woman with an otherworldly allure, her white hair tied up neatly in a bun, pamphlets and assorted papers tucked in her grasp.
“Welcome to Crescentview, farmers!”
Spreading her arms out wide — as much as she can without her papers blowing away — she eagerly regales the crowd with some fun facts about the island and the town while also reminding everyone of one very important fact:
“Remember, you’ve been brought here to tend the earth, fall in love, and begin your new lives together. You’re not leaving until you do. It will be quite the experience for you, I’m sure.”
Complain, grouse, or rejoice if you like, but don’t expect the Goddess to budge. Oh, right, there’s that too: she, the Harvest Goddess, is the one presiding over this land. Don’t get on my bad side, she gently warns as she stuffs pamphlets into the hands of Crescentview’s aspiring farmers.
spring breeze
While you’re here, you may as well check out the pamphlet the Goddess insistently pressed into your hands. Within it, you’ll find a handy infographic on each of your neighbors detailing their likes, dislikes, and... ideal dates? Even the Goddess’ profile is there. How invasive! Each farmer’s picture is hand-drawn by crayon into simple stick figures with the only difference being how the hair looks on top of their heads… if it can be called hair with the mess of crayons, that is. Every single stick figure is smiling. In front of each personalized pamphlet, there’s a stick figure on the cover with the same style as the photo. It’s definitely yours with how the hair color seamlessly matches yours. For the ones who have multicolor hair, you might notice the goddess seems a little more huffy with you.
The pamphlet also includes a map of Crescentview and lists the services available in town. There aren’t many on this small, remote island. Learning how to fend for yourself seems like the best course of action. Finally, a hand-printed bingo card has been made up for each new island resident. The Goddess must have spent quite a bit of time making these...
The Goddess gives her new questionably loyal followers a chance to mingle and mix before speaking up with another announcement. A small group of haggard-looking fairies appear at her feet, and clapping her hands, a notice board springs into existence. When the fairies fail to react, she gives one a nudge with her foot, prompting them all to burst into the world’s smallest round of applause. It’s a little... pathetic.
“Ta-da! Behold: the task board. Every season, I’ll give you new tasks to complete, and in exchange, you’ll be richly blessed by me, the Harvest Goddess. Spring is the season of new beginnings, so let’s take a look at what we’ve got cooking, hm?”
task board
The task board is located in Town Square and changes from season to season. In real time, a season is one month long. The following tasks are available from December 1st to January 1st and more tasks may be added mid-month.
Certain rewards are only available through event participation, so please keep this in mind when planning your threads. Multiple tasks may be completed within a single thread, but when turning in, please link to the individual tags in which each task was completed.
Finally, rewards are per character, not per farm, so those with housemates may want to coordinate with one another with regard to what animals you’re bringing home to your farm.
1. Greet your neighbors. For every person you meet, you will be given a random bag of spring seeds. Potato, cabbage, turnip, strawberry, and cucumber seeds are available at this time. Alternatively, random mushroom spores are also available. These include morel, matsutake, and common white mushroom spores. This task can be completed a total of 10 times for rewards. Please specify how much of each you would like when submitting your threads, i.e. “I’d like 5 random spring seed bags and 5 random mushroom bags, please!”
2. Exchange names. Start learning some names and faces: you’ll be seeing a lot of these folks! For each name you learn, you’ll earn a random bag of spring flower seeds. Daffodil, tulip, forget-me-not, primrose, and hyacinth are available this season. This task can be completed a total of 10 times for rewards, and yes, you can cheat the system and introduce yourself to someone you already know, but the Goddess won’t like it.
3. Check out your new farm. Take a look around and settle in! After a bit of wandering, you’ll notice a small cat or dog following you around and looking up at you with them big ol’ eyes. Looks like it wants to stay with you, but will you adopt it? This task can be completed once.
4. Till your field and begin planting. Find the beat up farming tools in your beat up house and begin beating your farmland into submission. Plant some seeds and be rewarded by the Goddess with a single chicken or rabbit to keep in your coop. This task can be completed once.
5. Visit another farm. Pay one of your neighbors a visit to receive a stationary set blessed by the Goddess herself. There are no cell phones or Internet on the island, so get used to sending all your “LOL”s and “XDDDD”s by hand. This task can be completed once.
6. Make a new friend. Isn’t friendship wonderful? For each person you proclaim to be your friend, you will receive two random gacha items. This task can be completed 3 times.
7. Pray to the Goddess. Whether you do so grudgingly or willingly doesn’t matter much to her so long as you’re doing it! Clasp your hands together and bow your head or throw an offering into her pond— she’ll hear you either way. Praying to the Goddess will net you a barn animal of your choosing: a cow, sheep, alpaca, or goat. This task may be completed once.
Caution: throwing certain items into her pond may have consequences. Choose your offerings wisely.

(Feel free to use this to start new threads with me! I want all the threads. I'm also going to link them all if it's my turn to tag.)
gaku
He sure did not get a warning when Gaku shows up and is like "hey second date"... which honestly startles him for a bit. Huh? What's gotten into him? Does he need him for bingo? That is what he'll assume so he just... nods. Where they going? ]
Re: gaku
Your house is nicer, so let's watch some movies there. How does that sound?
[ It's one of his bingo squares, but like... he doesn't mind spending more time with Ellis. ]
no subject
Okay.
Ellis smiles again and leads Gaku to his home! Souji is probably out somewhere. He doesn't know. His property just keeps upgrading every time Gaku gets here... ]

sylvando
Ellis smiles in return and makes his way to the yard. It looks like Sylvando has a lot of things to do... He kinda wants to help out, but Sylvando said no. He also seems busy, so he's not sure if he wants to fulfill one of the bingo squares with him.
...
He pulls out his bingo card anyway as if to ask Sylvando if he wants to do anything on his own. Ellis's card is... pretty filled out, so he won't mind if he doesn't do anything on his own squares. ]
no subject
[He sounds excited on Ellis' behalf. That looks like a lot of fun he's been having!]
I think we both share one of these squares, actually! Would you like to come in while I track down my card?

kaeya
Ellis nods when Kaeya asks, finally having calmed down from being pouty. He's still pretty tipsy/drunk though, so his gaze seems to be vacant sometimes as he nibbles on his fourth chicken wing. When he's wiped clean with it, he lightly pushes the plate towards Kaeya. He should eat too. ]

Thank you for the concern, but you need it far more than me.

souji
Ellis peeks over at the notepad and almost snorts, grabbing another fistful of popcorn as he continues to watch the movie. It's such a bad movie, but he can't find any disdain in watching it--just humor. He looks like he's enjoying himself. ]

souji 2
Oh. Well. Souji's right. Ellis nods again and it's time to change gears! He smiles a little more freely now and well. Doesn't Souji need to change clothes or something. ]

Let's find a restaurant. Even a place like this should have one.

adelis
Ellis takes a look at Adelis's bingo squares and... well, some aren't so bad. He tries to pick the most painless one for him, which, in his opinion, "compliments" and "tell jokes". Just string some words together, man.
But because Adelis let Ellis look at the bingo card, Ellis lets Adelis look at his. Time is weird and most of these shouldn't be filled out at the time of this thread, so just pretend the marked out options are invisible for meta reasons. ]
no subject
Jokes are not something I indulge myself in very often.
[ captain buzzkill, for sure, unless it's making fun of somebody else...which probably defeats the purpose. he peeks at ellis' though, since it's being offered- ]
...You're certainly better off than me, even if there's more nonsense I can't understand. What even is a 'movie' supposed to be...

ryuki
Since Ellis has to look at Ryuki the entire time when they walk to catch him speaking, he smiles when asked, holding up his bingo card (pretend the flirting one is empty because that's the one Ellis is aiming for in this thread). His farm and house are so pimped out right now... ]
no subject
He is fully embarrassed comparing the two. ]
Well... you're doing a lot better than I am.

gakunyan
No, it's dog fur.
Soon enough, there will be the sound of barking and there's an adult white samoyed dog that's running around with a stretch hogan in the likeness of the goddess in its mouth and Ellis is chasing after it. Someone stop the dog!!! ]
no subject
He should probably stop the dog with poor Ellis running after it like that, but all he can do is stand there and laugh.
Sorry not sorry. ]

s'mores time s'mores time
it's a chilly night and she has a light jacket. occasionally, the face of a tiny siamese kitten pokes it's head out of the hood on her back. she's completely fine with this, to be honest.
thank god it only takes her a couple of tries to light the match. she drops it on the pile of sticks unceremoniously. )
How's that?
no subject
He also has a bag of marshmallows and several small sticks that he puts between himself and Satoko so that they can share. Time to get this party started. ]

camping!
This looks like a good spot, don't you think?
[ There's a clearing with nothing to really bother them. Well, except bears. ]
no subject
Just kidding. He thinks it's a great spot for camping and wonders if Kaeya brought anything with him... ]

rest in fucking pieces
Gaku wants to go with a real change of clothes this time, so he invites Ellis to go up with him, promising views of a pretty spring. And he's right, too! He stands at the side of the natural springs in a t-shirt and shorts, getting out his change of clothes and setting them down on top of his folded towel. ]
It's nice, right? It was really relaxing last time I was here.
today, ellis dies
But Gaku looks so excited that he can't help but to smile too, even if it's awkward. He tried his best. ]
