• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for May. May's AC Post can be found here.
  
  
• Applications are currently open! There are plenty of slots, so invite your friends to come play!
  

• The trees haven't ended up coming any closer as of yet, but they still loom alarmingly close. The event may be over, and characters may have recovered, but if any characters chop down or otherwise harm a tree from the woods, they will suffer from similar effects to the event. In other words, they'll lose some of their emotion for a brief period of time!
  
• Characters will also note, if they do enough of it, that they are drawn towards the woods the more emotion they lose. If a character ends up totally apathetic, they'll end up wandering into the woods alarmingly often, as if subconsciously. Weird.
  
  
• If characters happen to find the trees that were given color in the woods from characters completing quests last month (there are not many of them!) and decide to chop them down for some reason (:(), they will find that they do not experience any side effects at all. It's only chopping down the colorless trees that causes the side effects above.

• Quests for May 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:

• For completing all of the quests last month, characters have restored the color of soil. The ground around the Town will start to seem much richer. Likewise, they'll find that the colors below can be found quite a lot around the Town.
  
  
• If your character has a color log thread from the month of April, please go here to submit a thread! After that, the mods will let you know what color that thread has restored.

Color Losses:

• From drops: Red cabbage, eclairs, popcorn, library outer walls, flan, chimera, harpies, blue crab, frost, cilantro, bunnies, mongoose, cucumbers, hummingbirds, cobwebs, cornbread, town hall roof, ginger, burnt toast, marshmallows, string lights, angora bunnies, tomatoes, seagulls, pie tins, laurel wreaths, starfish, shoelaces, sea eagles, boysenberries, caramel, golden rings, golems, wrapping paper, candy canes, town hall ceiling, sheet music, rice, barn owls, scarves, sweet potatoes, library chairs
