• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for October. October's AC Post can be found here. Thank you to everyone who completed AC!
  
  
• Applications will open again in November, from November 1st to November 7th. As before, there will be no reserves period.
  
  
• With how heavy last month's event was, this month's event will be a little lighter -- but hopefully still very useful for further exploring your CR and the setting!
  
  
• For fun, here's the current color breakdown in Awash: 24 Yellow, 35 Blue and 33 Red characters.

• Quests for October are now up! The OOC breakdown of said quests can be found below, as with last month. All quests have been posted ICly to the Quest Forum Post. Only quests for this month can be turned in for a reward.
  
  
• The Quest Reporting comment can be found here. As ever, please respond to that comment once the quest itself has been completed. When reporting the quest, please state what quest it is in the subject line; we've realized that that helps us a lot with keeping track over the past few months!
  
  
• Please be aware that Quests must be reported by the end of the month; this is because we use what quests are completed to keep track of what colors are restored for the next month!

This month’s color changes are as follows (color changes can be tracked at the Color Timeline):

Color Gains:

• New characters have had their text color restored in the color of their hexcode, and their house colors restored.
  
  
• Because all of the quests were completed this past month, characters may notice that the color of snow has been restored. At least, they'll notice if it snows soon (oh no). Congratulations!
  
  
• Because quest 27 was completed, the color of trees has been restored. Please note something very important: only the trees within the Town have had their colors restored. The trees of the woods outside of the Town have remained suspiciously colorless. This applies to the colors of fall leaves restored last month as well.
  
  
• Because quest 27 was completed by an additional 10 characters, everyone has received an additional reward! Characters will find in their home one small item from home. This can be anything from food to medicine to a piece of clothing to something totally pointless -- just be reasonable, and keep in mind that it's one thing only!
  
  
• Additionally, each character has received up to two pieces of winter clothing from their color log. Please choose two threads from your color log from the past month -- the mix of the colors of characters involved in the thread will be the color of the clothing item. What items they receive are entirely up to you: they can be anything from mittens to scarves to hoodies and anything in between, and don't have to be old timey at all!
  
  Please note that these are not changing the color of every piece of that clothing in Awash, just giving each character a personally colored item or two!

Color Losses:

• From drops: turkey, and fire is now down to two colors -- this color has disappeared from your flames!
