Who: Everyone
When: Day 4; all day
Where: Everywhere
What: A simple mingle

[Today there is no labyrinth, and many of you may be taking this chance to explore the town some more, enjoying the new lake, or simply settling in for a nap on one of the new grassy patches of tier 2 (though you may find that there's some competition for the especially green and comfy patch). It's certainly is nice to have a day off, isn't it?]

[...]

[Then again, you do have that part-time job and your boss likely sees your "day off" very differently than you do.]

[What are you doing today, denizens of Kingdom Daze?]

royalsubject

Who: Everyone who comes to the labyrinth.
When: Day 3, morning to start with and continuing throughout the day.
Where: Outside the town.
What: A mysterious and enigmatic labyrinth has appeared!

[ The sound of the horn heralds a new labyrinth; follow it to its source, and you'll find a door with a great big question mark on it... ]

[ Instructions | Start | Treasure mingle ]

Who: Everyone
When: Day 2, through the day!
Where: ANYWHERE REALLY
What: Mingle with some lake-centric festivities!

[sometime after you escape that labyrinth and enter town, you might overhear some of the townsfolk gossiping amongst one another:]

Didja see? The lake's fulla water again!

Why, no, I didn't see, it's not like I take a walk to the empty shell of my father's childhood like you do every freakin' day.

I wanna catch a fish and name it Bowie!

[if you do go to the lake, you'll find that the gossip is all true: the large lake is actually a lake again, seemingly being filled with the waterfalls coming from the three rivers above. investigate further and you'll see little round fish covered with spikes, like a porcupine, bouncing in and out of the water as they swim. in reality, the spikes are dull and very soft—almost rubbery—so even if you touched one of these it wouldn't actually hurt. maybe this is what's giving the weird little guys the bounce

throughout the day, townsfolk have banners, balloons, and tents set up around the lake for this occasion. one independent tent is offering a small amount of $$$ to anyone who can catch some of these bouncy fish. in addition, they're offering a plate of this fried fish for a single coin; try a taste and you'll find that it tastes a lot like... rubbery garlic chicken! the other tents belong to the business/establishments you've seen through town:

• the weapon shop is selling all kinds of nets, fishing rods, and even pikes, for those who want to try and catch the fish
• the garrison and clinic are cooperating to perform a duty equivalent to lifeguards
• the library has a tent with fish-themed books; fish cookbooks, romance novels involving fish, picture books depicting fish, etc etc
• the bakery is offering a wide variety of fish-themed sweets and iced coffees
• the tailor's also has a changing tent and is selling visors, swimsuits, and other summery accessories
• the flower shop is selling fish bowls in a wide variety of sizes and styles and dahlias in many sizes and colors

maybe at some point today you're stuck working at one of these tents—or maybe you don't have to work at all today. whether you choose to engage with this event or continue doing your own thing, it's your day to spend as you see fit, and these festivities will be going on well into the evening!]

((OOC: trying a thing with ALL DAY MINGLES! if you're worried that this kind of limits what your character might be doing since this encompasses all day, a thing you can do, that we've seen some players already do, is provide multiple interaction options, which would be opportune here!

ETA: though the method of accessing tier 2, where the lake is located, is a staircase, there is IN FACT a convenient magical button that you can press to briefly make it into a flat, wheelchair accessible slope! this will be added to the info page soon enough, along with all of the other changes.))

Who: You, you, and you!
When: Day 1, evening
Where: Outside of town, a ways over there
What: A labyrinth in the form of a social bingo!

[later that day you hear that obnoxious horn sound, the one that would be sounded when they discovered a labyrinth. you follow this sound past the town and wind up at a set of stairs leading into the the ground. by these stairs is a sign reading HEAD ON IN. though you might normally be inclined to dilly dally, you're inexplicably drawn to walk down those stairs...]

Who: The Queen(?) and you!
When: Day 1, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere she can find you!
What:

[someone wearing a trench coat, a baseball cap, thick coke-bottle glasses, and knee-high polka-dotted rainboots, approaches you. sketchy, right? also horrendous, i mean, you can't make this outfit look good.

maybe you were still getting a feel for the town, or you're getting a knock on your door at the inn, or maybe you're not even IN town when this person finds you! it's hard to make out who they are from their ridiculous disguise, but their enlarged eyes (thanks to the coke-bottle glasses) seem to familiarly reflect galaxies...]

Well, well. We—I have been looking forward to getting a proper one-on-one with you! The council was a struggle to escape, but I hope they'll let bygones be bygones when they've figured out my trick. It's not like this is the first time!

[she laughs—] Ahem! [—then outstretches her weird trench-coated arms in greeting]

...welcome!

((OOC: You're not obligated to tag this post, but maybe you want to get to know the Queen on a first name basis...? Anyway, I'll be tagging this post for a long while to come, so tag in late or keep tagging for weeks, whatever works for you!)

queendaze

Who: EVERYONE!!
When: Day 1, early morning but not so early that you'd encounter monsters from last night
Where: Port Perplex
What: You have arrived to the kingdom!

[you weren't sailing that treacherous sea for long--in fact, the ride seemed surprisingly swift, if not potentially sickening. but here you are now, standing in the port of Port Perplex, unloading yourself and your belongings as the old ship sounds its obnoxious horn for the seventh time. and, well, come to think of it, you're not the ONLY one getting off the ship!

on land, you and the others are bombarded by a crowd of cheering townsfolk! they throw confetti over you, try to drape flower neklaces around your neck, and also blast horns PROBABLY RIGHT IN YOUR EAR, ow.]

"Who are these people? Oh... OH! They're here to help us!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"Please, have some petals. You like petals, yes?"

"IS MY HORN TOO LOUD FOR YA? WHAT? WHAT DIDJA SAY?"

[...anyway, it doesn't take long for them to disperse and leave you be, assuming you aren't getting caught up in their antics. should you explore further into the town, past the harbor, you'll find that the colorful town looks like it's on the brink of a festival--banners, streamers, bunting, balloons... they're everywhere! is it because of you? one might wonder, but you'll come to find that the town will always look like this from here on out. on the contrary, the beach/cliff area surrounding this little town leaves a LOT to be desired.

the Queen said you'd get a room of your own at the inn if you got a part-time job. well, the Dolph-Inn's visible in the distance. in an act of kindness, the innkeeper will gladly allow you to keep any of your stuff in a room until you get a job! however, should you return jobless by nightfall, the innkeeper will just as gladly toss your belongings onto the street and shove a cardboard box into your arms. yikes.

so... what are you up to?]

((QUICK LINKS: F.A.Q. - SETTING - THE INN - BUSINESSES & JOBS

NOTES: Just a reminder that job acquisition is ~handwaved~, ie nothing about it needs to be actually threaded, and you don't need modly approval to say if your character taking this job or that job is ok or not! It's in your hands, assuming your character takes a job!

ALSO backtagging is totally ok if you join in late, and you are certainly allowed to make posts of your own when you're ready! But just as a reminder, posts should steadily progress time in a linear fashion!))
