• There is no AC for the month of September.
  
• The majority of endgame will be happening this month -- so if there's anything your characters have needed to do or that you're desperate for them to get done before the end of the game, now's the time! Please don't hesitate to bring forward ideas to us, and we'll find a way to make it all happen. There are only two important aspects that are currently "plot-blocked" -- the hen from the fairy tale and the forest -- and those will be opened up this month for all character shenanigans. Don't be afraid to make endgame your own!
  

This is very important, so please give this a quick read! Now that characters have been experimenting with the book found beneath the Town, and some have even successfully managed to write in it, we wanted to set up a little bit more information so that everyone's in the loop on what's going on there. It took some experimenting, but thanks to the efforts of some of your fellow players, you've got some guidelines to go off of. The book is very important for endgame -- not necessarily for the fate of the Town, but for the fate of the characters going home especially.

The book can be written in once per character. Each character can only write a sentence.

Characters can only write about themselves (ie the characters in the Town), or the future of the Town to some extent; writing about anything else will cause the ink to disappear. (Don't be afraid of playing out failures -- characters can keep trying without using up their one allotted sentence until something they write sticks).

Characters have a limited scope of what they can write. They can only influence a little by themselves (the general rule of thumb is "one small idea" or "one sentence"). If multiple characters write one line together, utilizing their bonds, a greater scope can be influenced. For example: a single character could write that, when they go home, they will retain their own memories of Awash. Five characters, writing together, could write that there will be a way for them to send letters across worlds (but only in their own worlds).

Please don't have your character write things that are supposed to influence the entire game at large. Even if it ICly would work, OOCly we cannot enforce that every single character will be affected by something without player permission. If your character is going to write something about another character, please be sure you have player permission for it. For that reason, sweeping statements like "[Character] writes that every character in the Town has a sudden love for teddy bears" won't be plausible.

Even if you gather up a huge force of characters, sentences that would immediately end the game (such as "they all lived happily ever after") also won't work. This is just due to the nature of writing an endgame -- we want to make sure everyone has the chance to contribute and see the game through to the end, and something like that being successful would end the game immediately.

If your character has something to write, don't hesitate to shoot us a PM, and we'll go over what will work and what won't -- if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

A list of sentences already written can be found here.

Ultimately, the idea is that the characters are writing their own ending all together -- but this isn't the only piece of endgame, and is mostly relevant to the characters' own personal returns and futures.

• The creatures from the well continue to show up every now and then, though in much lesser numbers than in last month's event. They are much less threatening, considering there's maybe a trickle of three or four over the course of an entire week. Still...they're a little unnerving, aren't they?
  
  
• This month's endgame plot will have to do with the trees, and a mysterious little hen that might seem a bit familiar... Keep your eyes peeled for a bit more information in the upcoming month, and don't be afraid to bring up other pieces of the plot that you'd like to explore further via PM!

• There are no quests for the month of September that can be turned in for a reward. The final quest on the forum post is a little grandiose, but...hey, you get the idea, right?
