Hello everyone, and welcome to July's monthly mod post! Please be sure to read all of this post.

Mechanics

• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for July. July's AC Post can be found here.
  
• Applications are now open! They can be found here.
  
• Characters removed via AC:
  
  Kamijou Touma
  Ignis Scientia
  Summer Moran
  
  
• We've added a Plot sharing OOC post, so that everyone can share what pieces of the plot their characters have uncovered to help everyone put it all together!
  

Plot

• The trees have been pushed back a fair ways due to the efforts of a handful of characters using their ink for that purpose -- but they're slowly starting to encroach again, all the more aggressively now. It seems the characters just managed to buy some time with that one.
  
  Now, if characters go near the trees in the woods, they will occasionally try to actively trip up or attack the characters with branches and roots. That'll make quests a little trickier.

Quests

• Quests for July 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!

Color Changes/Rewards

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 mountains. Granted, the only mountains that can be see are at the far edge of the woods, but with two of the three forest guardians defeated, maybe getting to the edge of the woods to see them is a bit more viable...?
  
  
• If your character has a color log thread from the month of June, 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: Duck eggs, shirts, robins, bats, canaries, pigs, matcha tea powder, pine cones, firewood, straw, beer, avocados, church stained glass, mittens, will-o-wisps, lavender, library inner walls, house boat roofs, water, thread, cows, pepper jack cheese, pumpkins, persimmons, sleigh bells

If there are any questions, please ask them here, so that we don’t miss any. Thank you, everyone!
