Event Twelve.

I Hunger
[ 10/19 - 10/26 ]


It seems as though fall is coming to a close, and with the wrapping up of the season... it's time for a harvest festival! Whether this is the Town's attempt to help everyone recover from last month, or just good timing is hard to say, but either way, everyone will wake up on the 19th to a Town covered in decorations.

These decorations are more dense towards the center of the Town and the well, and the sparsest on the outside fringes of the Town near the woods and the harbor; however, the entire Town was hit, and your own house might very well be covered as well. Please note that these decorations are closer to traditional harvest festival themed items than Halloween decorations; gourds, bales of hay, flower arrangements, lanterns, wreaths... think traditional, rustic fall decorations and you'll have a pretty good idea, and along those lines feel free to be as creative as you'd like!

And, to make things better (?), around the well, there's the actual celebration taking place.

There are tables of food (all apple based, like pies, caramel apples, apple cider -- all with color). There are games (bobbing for apples, more pumpkins to carve, finding treasure in a haystack -- things like that)! There is... a large human-sized effigy for possible burning later on? Yeah, don't mind that, it's probably fine.

Basically, the main center of the Town has been transformed into a proper festival, and while most of it is pretty classic and rustic (corn mazes, anyone?), there are a few anachronisms that pop up here and there (a stage, for example. If anyone wants to perform, it's there...?). Please feel free to be creative with what's around, add things at will, and if you're not sure, you're welcome to ask!

Oh, and one more thing.

Characters eating the food items from the tables might experience a couple of unexpected side-effects:
Apple cider -- Apple cider will make your character tell the truth and only the truth. Note that only the apple cider at the festival will do this, not the apple cider received from the quest. Don't mix them up!

Caramel apples -- Eating these delicious treats will cause your character to have a very sudden, very strong urge to either hold hands with the next person they see, or to kiss them! People they actually feel affection for will receive priority, but it can really be anyone who ends up being the target of those urges.

Apple pie -- Trying the apple pie will cause your character to become incredibly overconfident -- possibly to their own detriment. Suddenly they're quite certain they can carve a masterpiece into that pumpkin, or perform backflips when they never had any inclination to do so. Maybe they'll even get up on stage...?

Apple tart -- Similar, but different to the apple pie! Characters after eating any of the tart will become very possessive -- either of their CR, or their belongings, or maybe that random pumpkin over there? Who knows, but it's theirs now.

These effects might last only for an hour or two, or the entire duration of the week. That's up to you! Other than the strange effects, characters will feel perfectly normal; they may be aware they're acting a bit odd, but it's probably fine, right?

The decorations, games, and food will last for the entirety of the event, but will start to look a bit weather-worn towards the end of it; the effects of the food can last as long or as little as you'd personally like!

The event log for this event will be up 10/19! If there are any questions, please feel free to ask them here!

A quick question: If, say Shiho, Kaoru and Rin got together, levitated said effigy out onto the harbour, set it on fire then launched it at Siren Island, what would happen?
