Moon Cycle 100: 1/25 - 2/02 + Moving Announcements
❖ MOON CYCLE 100 ❂ 1/25 - 2/02
Phase: 1/4 Waxing. The skies are still a little cloudy at night, but afternoons are relatively clear.
Weather: Temperatures are starting to rise a bit. The days are mostly sunny, but despite the temperatures there's at least a layer of snow that doesn't seem to melt away. There are a few brisk days, but the first week of the new moon cycle seems relatively nice.
Legend:
☀ - Sunny/Clear | ☁ ☀ - Sunny but cloudy | ☁ - Overcast | ≈ - Windy | ☂ - Rainy | ☂☂ - Stormy | ☃ - Snowy | ❇ - Ice | + any other combination
Effects: Dreams may tend to focus on some kind of change or move. Perhaps the dream is about relocating to a new home, or even a memory of when they first arrived into Somarium. Those who have been in Somarium for much longer may have dreams about how Somarium used to be. Others may dream of a drastic change in their lives, or perhaps one they wish to make in their future.
Notes: Hooray, we've reached our 100th Moon Cycle, and it's on our first day on Dreamwidth! For everyone who has moved over with us so far, welcome! We have a few important announcements, so be sure to read everything carefully! This is divided into two sections: general announcements and moon cycle plot related.

MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Housekeeping. Just a few housekeeping matters we'd like to address:
- Reserves and Applications. Just a reminder but Reservations are open and Applications will open on February 1 and last until February 10. Don't forget we also have our Test Drive Meme available. By the way, how did you guys like that? Should we have it more often?
- Move reminder. We have posted a list on LJ of those who have yet to check in for the move. If you know of someone on that list, please let them know! Even though we're opening posting, the move is not considered complete until either a) everyone has commented whether they are moving with us or dropping out of the game, or b) the deadline Tuesday, Jan 31 11:59 CST.
- Check the lists. We've updated everyone's information as they commented, but we'd like everyone to double check or comment to the following pages if they haven't done so yet: Taken Characters, Player Contact, and Residence. To those who have Special Permissions Posts, you will also have to re-comment.

somarium and dreamnet. Here are a few notes we'd like to make everyone aware of:- Importing. As you may have noticed, we have imported all of the original entries from the LJ side. We will be doing a few more imports later. The most recent import was from this evening, Jan 24. It's still currently ongoing (it takes a few hours). If you make any new tags on the LJ side, you do not have to worry about them getting overwritten. Everything will just tack on top of each other in their appropriate time slot. So—
- Backtagging and continuing threads started on LJ. Players have two options when it comes to backtagging. You may either continue on LJ or continue threading on the imported entry here on Dreamwidth. This also includes any journal entries you may be involved with. If a player has imported that character's journal, you're more than welcome to continue tagging on there. As mentioned before, it really doesn't matter where you choose to continue your threads—they will not be affected by subsequent imports.
If you wish, and if the post you are currently threading in has been updated by the recent import, you can go ahead and start threading on the imported entry. - REVIEW THE POSTING GUIDE. This is extremely important, especially when it comes to network posts! We know everyone is ready to get going, but we'd like everyone to review the Posting Guidelines. Formatting wise, not much has changed and it mostly mirrors what we have been doing with the journals. The only thing to keep in mind is where to put your posts. It's okay if you make a mistake—this is going to be a completely new system for everyone. But as time goes on, it should become easier. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.
- Don't forget the new tags. For organizational purposes, we have included several new tags to help out. For dreamnet, we have the following new tags: !style: voice, !style: video, !style: text, !style: dream. For somarium, we have: !style: log, !style: dream, !style: mixed. It's pretty straightforward.
Otherwise, feel free to post once the communities are officially open.
MOON CYCLE PLOT STUFF
- Who the heck is Tim? As the first post on the network community, we have a Mysterious Post on the network. Doesn't sound very good—could it be related to what happened last week? Note: Comments are disabled until midnight.
- Special performers in town! Signal post here. During the night, a caravan filled with strange, foreign looking people arrived into town. The floating carnival has also descended into one of the larger parks over in the Government District (5th). Not even one day in, and the newcomers are already throwing a performance at the central plaza to advertise. It seems like they're getting ready to throw a special show near the end of the month, but they may have something more up their sleeve...
Whatever the case, it looks like it will be a while before they finish setting up. Characters are still free to visit the carnival and to see what's going on. - Clowns. In the spirit of the new troupe, the carnival has also sent out its own group of clowns to join the foray. However, this plan my backfire. Particularly when these clowns get a little too into their job and start chasing and pulling pranks on unsuspecting victims.
- Little roaming animal balloons. One last trick is up their sleeve—living animal balloons. You know, these things? One of the new troupe's magicians apparently thought it would be amusing to have a few these loose in town. They be small and look harmless, but be careful! They literally have a mind of their own! Popping them is of course allowed, just don't do it in front of children. You wouldn't want to scar them, would you?
- Fissures and shadows. The rest of the fissures and shadow pits from last week have disappeared. However, there still seems to be traces of dark spots here and there. Where the largest fissures were, large barren spots have taken their place. Large cracks have replaced the smaller ones, but they blend in and are soon hardly noticeable.
- Mass disappearance. This won't be until the end of the month. But a few characters may notice that the number of people who have disappeared recently is a lot higher than usual. Is this just a fluke or could there be something more to it? (In case you're wondering, yes, we are tying the loss of characters from the move with IC events.)

Would it be possible at all for her to be able to perform with the carnival performers?

It's okay. I understand that stuff happens. I can always mess up Rainbow Dash's house another day. I need to fill out the update form anyway.
Awesome about the balloons! thanks for the note about the faces.
