And that does it for character updates!

For this update, we’d like to announce that we have reworded our stance on “Characters from upcoming games”, as well as our spoiler window!

Before, it was that any character from a game that was “Unfinished” would have to wait until the game was finished for you to apply them, but upon further discussion with members, we concluded that this was a bit too much, so, now

You are allowed to apply characters from games that are in “Early Access” (As much as you could if a show’s season isn’t over!), so long as they have a characterization or plot that is set in stone and is unlikely to change! Basically, if the character has enough to work with, you’re good!

Though, if a character is mysterious with a backstory that is largely made up by headcanons or fan interpretation, we ask that you wait until there is much more to work with! (An example of this would be Kris and Ralsei from Deltarune, there’s quite a lot about them that we don’t know...)

And in the case of a character taking a shocking left turn, please look into updating them, or making them canon divergent! <:

And secondly, we would like to revise our stance on “Spoiler characters”, essentially, from now on, a month wait is enough for most characters that are considered spoilers (Minor to Moderate), after a month has passed since a game’s release or a spoiler episode, you should be good...

Unless they are considered a “Walking Spoiler”, a massive spoiler of a character that can change the flow of a story and who’s mere existence is a spoiler in itself. For that, you’ll likely be waiting 2 months or more, and the mod team will review if it’s ok for that character to be played, given how they may spoil something for people joining!

Over all, it’s much more of a case-by-case basis now, we may even shorten the wait time to apply characters from a new IP to two weeks! But, for now, we hope this results in many new and interesting characters joining us!

For other updates, we’re hoping to have posts up about some of the changes we’ve made to Elsternwick, including the Job System (Pretty simple!), an update to our wording on the ban list, and a few other fun surprises, and we hope you’ll look forward to reading about them!

We hope you have a lovely evening and look forward to seeing you again, wether you’re already in Elsternwick, or just visiting and thinking about joining!

23.05

I spent this weekend in the city with my mama and my sister, who came down from Queensland to visit me. I've missed them terribly these past few months and I cherished the opportunity to make new memories with them by revisiting some of our favourite places and visiting some new ones.

But now I am back home and back to my studies. I am putting the finishing touches on my second portfolio for Environments which is due tonight. Then tomorrow, I have an online exam also for Environments and an essay due for Theoretical Frameworks this Friday! A few weeks ago, we went on a field trip to the Yalukit William Reserve (also known as Elsternwick Park), which used to be an abandoned golf course that has slowly been transformed to, as the title suggests, a nature reserve. During our trip we studied the diverse ecological conditions of the reserve and practiced drawing them across different scales, which are to be included in this upcoming assignment (I've attached some snippets of the field trip above).

Steve Loeffler with wife Lucy Loeffler, and their daughter Olivia Loeffler, are selling their North Bondi Home. Picture: John Appleyard Homes in Australia’s hottest suburbs have boomed in value by as much as 680 per cent over the last two decades – underlying the belief in the Great Australian dream of property ownership. Property data compiled by realestate.com.au illustrates the tremendous capital growth savvy, and in some instances lucky, home buyers have enjoyed in the years between the Sydney Olympics and the COVID-19 pandemic in metropolitan areas. The spread of the suburbs and even regions that have enjoyed such unprecedented capital growth cover a variety of terrain, from exclusive enclaves to the gentrified inner city, through the metropolitan ring suburbs and to the bucolic surrounds beyond. Prices have boomed in Harrington Park. MORE NEWS Rents hit by record fall Chance to own rare Sydney home from The Block In lists compiled of the biggest growth suburbs of the last 20 years in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne those who owned or bought property at the turn of the millennium and have kept it, have cashed in big time. From Harrington Park in Sydney’s south-west whose median house price has skyrocketed from $148,000 to $960,000 over the last 20 years for an incredible capital growth of 549 per cent, to Kilburn in Adelaide’s inner north where home values have leapt 683 per cent from $55,000 to $434,400. Then there’s Windsor in Brisbane’s inner north which had grown 492 per cent from it’s median value of $183,000 in 2000. And in Melbourne, Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula has led the way with average house prices growing 682 per cent from $121,5000 to $950,000. Steve Loeffler with wife Lucy Loeffler and their daughter Olivia Loeffler. They are selling their North Bondi Home. Picture: John Appleyard Kilburn and Windor have illustrated the growing demand for inner city living in that time, while Harrington Park and Tyabb are evidence of growth of Australia’s two biggest cities into areas that were formerly rural. Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said suburbs that had undergone urban renewal or become substantially more desirable because of a shift in buyer preferences had recorded strong price growth. “Twenty years ago, it wasn’t as popular to live so close to the beach,” Ms Conisbee said. “People also wanted bigger homes on big blocks and wanted to live further out, but there’s been a real shift towards wanting to live close to amenities and to be within walking distance of everything.” Ms Conisbee said the gentrification of certain suburbs had also created a ripple effect, which pushed up prices in neighbouring suburbs. “A lot of old people have moved out of these suburbs in the past 20 years and a lot of younger people have moved in,” she said. Inner city Elsternwick in Melbourne has enjoyed very strong growth. Picture: Andrew Henshaw MORE NEWS Unique trend driving Hong Kong buyers How COVID-19 is changing what we want in our homes “Because young people tend to renovate and demand better services, that gives a lot of areas renewed energy, which tends to lead to some big changes in prices.” At the other end of the list of the best performing 100 suburbs, but by no means the poor cousin sits inner city Elsternwick in Melbourne, where average house prices have moved from $397,000 in 2000 to today’s median of $1,927,500, an increase of 386 per cent. In Prestons, very much in the geographic heart of Sydney, prices have moved up by 281 per cent from $193,000 to $735,500. In Brisbane, the former freehold settlement of Logan Village sits at the bottom of the top 100 suburbs, having grown 289 per cent from a median of $158,000 to $615,000. And in Adelaide’s centre Old Reynella, named after an early South Australian winemaker has jumped 251 per cent from a media of $114,000 to $400,000. // // Top 10 growth suburbs over the last 20 years (median house prices) Adelaide 1.

Visual Movement

After a conversation with my supervisor, I began returning to these parks and photographing them with a long zoom, focusing in geographic and geometric elements of the park. Seeing the park as a landscape in and of itself, letting the forms emerge and speak for themselves. This was an emergence through both reflection and context. The latter being an example of Liz Wells’ statement that “History turns space into place.”^1

Part of my process in shooting wild spaces is to plan a shoot, get to the area, and before I get set up, to pause and just be in the space, letting the space speak for itself. See if it has a better idea for a photograph than I do. This offers a chance to adjust if some part of my planned shoot is practically or aesthetically impossible. I believe that it also respects the landscapes’ role in the process. Just as I have ethical reservations about taking photographs of the disenfranchised in the name of street photography without their permission, I think that it is important to acknowledge the land itself in the process of creating imagery. Relationship is a primary goal in how I want to pursue photography; to change people’s behaviour, you need to change their minds (something that is notoriously hard to do, even when faced with facts^2), and in order to change their minds, first change their hearts. A change of heart begins with relationship and acknowledgement of the ‘Other.’

Now, in light of the rapidly changing dynamics of epidemiology and disease control, the places were in relationship with, who, exactly? Most people were passing by them on their exercise and walks. Initially, I saw only another barrier to the project I’d started. What was the land without the people? Then I began to see the that the park was land as much as a sweeping sea or landscape. As Alison and I discussed this, I began to see the forms of the place in terms of forms I had seen elsewhere. Ledges and tabletops became plateaus from the deserts of the American Southwest. The colour palette of the park, with its muted mauve, grey and dusty yellowish-browns was also reminiscent of that same place.

With this shift, I attached a 210mm zoom and began focusing very narrowly on individual geometric and textural elements of the park, mindful of the ways light was working on these surfaces. The zoom was also helpful in allowing me intimate access inside the parks, which were now closed off with police tape to keep people out.

Yet another change was in one of the parks I was visiting regularly. I would take my daily walk around Elsternwick Park, inside of which one of my subject parks was located. I’ve made this walk nearly every day since the start of isolation. On  a Friday I made my regular circuit of the park and slowed down and shot a couple of frames. I did the same Saturday and again Sunday. But on Sunday, something was...different. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something had changed. I put the viewfinder up to my eye, reframing a shot that I had taken several times already, using elements of the concrete structure to frame an piece of graffiti and...it was gone. Dropping the camera down, I looked and saw what had happened. It was grey. The whole park was grey. Sometime between Friday afternoon and Sunday, the city of Bayside had all of the graffiti covered with a dull, grey-blue-purple paint. All the bright colours were now gone. Was this some opportune moment that the city seized up? A way of keeping city workers gainfully employed during isolation? I have no way of knowing. What I do know is that I have some captures of some artworks that are now gone to memory. (Note: Skaters don’t actually care for the graffiti in the parks. The paints used tend to make for sticky patches on rails and other surfaces that most skaters would prefer to be slick and smooth. On some surfaces, they don’t care, but where their wheels and decks grind, they prefer the city supplied paints.)

Paddy Power Betfair to post Q3 results | The Block Results

The operation took place in the 2000 block of East Ramon Road between the hours of 9 pm and 1:30 am. Bálor gives Styles a clean break on the ropes. The Exploratory well ANOR#1 in NELP-VIII Block CB-ONN-2005/10 in Cambay Basin was drilled to a depth of 3500 m. Statoil said October 27 that it, ExxonMobil and Portugal's Galp were the high bidders for a production sharing contract for the Carcara North block in Brazil's second pre-salt offshore licensing round held the same day.

In an affidavit in the case, ATF Special Agent Brendan Plasha wrote that the gang had operated "an open-air drug shop" in the block since at least 2012, with heroin as its primary product. The Palm Springs Police Department Traffic Unit released their results from a DUI/Drivers' License checkpoint they conducted Friday night. Both Bálor and Styles attempt a shoulder block.The fork occurred after block 491.406 was mined on Oct. 24. Favourites Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker have won the 13th season of Channel Nine renovation show The Block, with their five-bedroom Elsternwick house selling nearly $450,000 over reserve to comedian Dave Hughes.

The Block: Thousands turn out to tour finished houses – The New Daily

Melbourne’s embrace of the 13th season of The Block has drawn huge crowds to the inspections of the five Elsternwick house offerings.

The relocated and extended homes were open for the first time on Sunday with queues extending along Regent Street.

Nearby streets were closed to accomodate the enormous crowds, estimated to be in the thousands, with reports that some fans queued for hours to get a glimpse inside the properties.

Several stars of the reality TV show, including host Scott Cam and contestants Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker, greeted the crowd.

Meanwhile, Sydney rode the spring racing fervour, with strong buyer demand evident for the latest off the plan apartment offering at Randwick on Saturday.

The upcoming October 28 auctions have come with indicative sale prices between $2.4 million and $2.64 million, although market commentators have suggested previously the homes ought to fetch $3 million.

The first stage of the Newmarket Randwick project sold out – all 124 apartments mostly to owner-occupiers for a $175 million total.

Known as Newmarket Residences, the two eight-storey proposed buildings were designed by Bates Smart taking inspiration from the nearby heritage Newmarket House and the grand old stable buildings on the site.

Some of the buyers in the conversion of the former Inglis thoroughbred sales complex went on to The Everest race day.

During the four-hour sales session, a three-bedroom apartment sold at the top $2.8 million price. Prices for one-bedroom apartments started from $780,000, two-bedroom apartments from $1.2 million and three-bedroom apartments from $2.2 million.

The Cbus Property development will have 642 apartments and terraces on its 2020 completion after the five-hectare site was secured for a reported $250 million in 2015.

The site had accommodated up to 620 horses and included a 1000-person arena used regularly for major horse sales.

William Inglis & Son Ltd, the 150-year-old family business had secured the site for £50,000 in 1917, but sold after shifting to new headquarters near Warwick Farm Racecourse in south-west Sydney.

Meanwhile Sydney’s preliminary auction clearance rate was 69.5 per cent across 916 auctions, after last week saw the final 61.3 per cent clearance rate fall to the lowest level since late 2015.

“This is likely to revise lower over the next few days as more results are collected,” CoreLogic auction analyst Kevin Brogan said.

This time last year, Sydney auction volumes were similar, although the clearance rate was much stronger at 81.4 per cent.

Sydney’s coastal Bronte secured the top weekend sale across the nation with a pre-auction sale of a $6.43 million contemporary home.

Architect Michael Folk captured the essence of beach house luxe, selling agent Alexander Phillips at Phillips Pantzer Donnelley said.

But Domain’s senior economist Dr Andrew Wilson decreed the boom-time results of recent years have now clearly ended.

“Although home prices are now falling, the underlying drivers of the Sydney housing market remain positive with strong migration, a robust local economy and an underlying chronic shortage of homes,” Dr Wilson said.

The national auction clearance rate held firm, buoyed by stronger results across the Melbourne and Canberra housing markets, according to CoreLogic.

There were 2497 auctions held across the combined capital cities, up from 2318 last week.

So far, 2007 results have been reported to CoreLogic, returning a preliminary clearance rate of 70.6 per cent, increasing from last week when the final clearance rate slipped to 64.4 per cent, the lowest clearance rate since January 2016.

Over the corresponding week last year, auction volumes were similar, with 2443 properties taken to auction, while the clearance rate was stronger at 76.2 per cent.

Melbourne’s 74.8 per cent success rate was the nation’s strongest, followed closely by Canberra on 74.5 per cent.

Melbourne was host to 1208 auctions and with 1042 results sits above the prior weekend’s final clearance rate of 70.3 per cent.

At the same time last year, Melbourne’s clearance rate was 77.7 per cent across 1182 auctions.

Melbourne’s top sale was $6.37 million at Middle Park. The 307 Beaconsfield Pde offering was sold without heritage overlay through Greg Hocking Holdsworth agent Simon Gowling.

AFL GWS veteran Heath Shaw sold his former Kew East home for $1.655 million under the hammer, some $55,000 over the reserve, through Marshall White Boroondara.

The Herald Sun reported there were four bidders for the four-bedroom house at 27 Elm Grove which was his home while at the Magpies and kept it as an investment since moving north, most recently at $895 a week.

Marshall White quoted $1.4 million to $1.54 million for the home that sold for $780,000 in 2008.

Channel Nine newsreader Alicia Loxley secured a $1.2 million sale of her former Abbotsford home. It was on the market at $1.1 million with competition between two first home buyers.

It was bought with her husband Kane in 2009 for $604,500 after she returned from several years working in Perth.

The brick Victorian in Vere Street had price guidance between $1 million and $1.1 million.

With two sons, the couple have moved into a bigger house. It had been offered as a $600 a week rental.

So far, 2007 results have been reported to CoreLogic, returning a preliminary clearance rate of 70.6 per cent, increasing from last week when the final clearance rate slipped to 64.4 per cent, the lowest clearance rate since January 2016.

Over the corresponding week last year, auction volumes were similar, with 2443 properties taken to auction, while the clearance rate was stronger at 76.2 per cent.

Melbourne’s 74.8 per cent success rate was the nation’s strongest, followed closely by Canberra on 74.5 per cent.

Melbourne was host to 1208 auctions and with 1042 results sits above the prior weekend’s final clearance rate of 70.3 per cent.

At the same time last year, Melbourne’s clearance rate was 77.7 per cent across 1182 auctions.

Melbourne’s top sale was $6.37 million at Middle Park. The 307 Beaconsfield Pde offering was sold without heritage overlay through Greg Hocking Holdsworth agent Simon Gowling.

AFL GWS veteran Heath Shaw sold his former Kew East home for $1.655 million under the hammer, some $55,000 over the reserve, through Marshall White Boroondara.

The Herald Sun reported there were four bidders for the four-bedroom house at 27 Elm Grove which was his home while at the Magpies and kept it as an investment since moving north, most recently at $895 a week.

Marshall White quoted $1.4 million to $1.54 million for the home that sold for $780,000 in 2008.

Channel Nine newsreader Alicia Loxley secured a $1.2 million sale of her former Abbotsford home. It was on the market at $1.1 million with competition between two first home buyers.

It was bought with her husband Kane in 2009 for $604,500 after she returned from several years working in Perth.

The brick Victorian in Vere Street had price guidance between $1 million and $1.1 million.

With two sons, the couple have moved into a bigger house. It had been offered as a $600 a week rental.

The Block: Thousands turn out to tour finished houses – The New Daily

Melbourne’s embrace of the 13th season of The Block has drawn huge crowds to the inspections of the five Elsternwick house offerings.

The relocated and extended homes were open for the first time on Sunday with queues extending along Regent Street.

Nearby streets were closed to accomodate the enormous crowds, estimated to be in the thousands, with reports that some fans queued for hours to get a glimpse inside the properties.

Several stars of the reality TV show, including host Scott Cam and contestants Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker, greeted the crowd.

Meanwhile, Sydney rode the spring racing fervour, with strong buyer demand evident for the latest off the plan apartment offering at Randwick on Saturday.

The upcoming October 28 auctions have come with indicative sale prices between $2.4 million and $2.64 million, although market commentators have suggested previously the homes ought to fetch $3 million.

The first stage of the Newmarket Randwick project sold out – all 124 apartments mostly to owner-occupiers for a $175 million total.

Known as Newmarket Residences, the two eight-storey proposed buildings were designed by Bates Smart taking inspiration from the nearby heritage Newmarket House and the grand old stable buildings on the site.

Some of the buyers in the conversion of the former Inglis thoroughbred sales complex went on to The Everest race day.

During the four-hour sales session, a three-bedroom apartment sold at the top $2.8 million price. Prices for one-bedroom apartments started from $780,000, two-bedroom apartments from $1.2 million and three-bedroom apartments from $2.2 million.

The Cbus Property development will have 642 apartments and terraces on its 2020 completion after the five-hectare site was secured for a reported $250 million in 2015.

The site had accommodated up to 620 horses and included a 1000-person arena used regularly for major horse sales.

William Inglis & Son Ltd, the 150-year-old family business had secured the site for £50,000 in 1917, but sold after shifting to new headquarters near Warwick Farm Racecourse in south-west Sydney.

Meanwhile Sydney’s preliminary auction clearance rate was 69.5 per cent across 916 auctions, after last week saw the final 61.3 per cent clearance rate fall to the lowest level since late 2015.

“This is likely to revise lower over the next few days as more results are collected,” CoreLogic auction analyst Kevin Brogan said.

This time last year, Sydney auction volumes were similar, although the clearance rate was much stronger at 81.4 per cent.

Sydney’s coastal Bronte secured the top weekend sale across the nation with a pre-auction sale of a $6.43 million contemporary home.

Architect Michael Folk captured the essence of beach house luxe, selling agent Alexander Phillips at Phillips Pantzer Donnelley said.

But Domain’s senior economist Dr Andrew Wilson decreed the boom-time results of recent years have now clearly ended.

“Although home prices are now falling, the underlying drivers of the Sydney housing market remain positive with strong migration, a robust local economy and an underlying chronic shortage of homes,” Dr Wilson said.

Fears women’s footy will lose in Elsternwick Park decision

A new footy ground for the booming women’s game or a sprawling wetlands and wildlife habitat? That’s how the battle lines have been drawn over a section of the failing Elsternwick Golf Course.

With the company that runs the nine-hectare course, Leisure Management Services, expected to walk away from its lease next year, the fate of the 20-hectare Elsternwick Park (north) site will be decided at a Bayside City Council meeting on Wednesday night.

An environmental coalition, led by the Bayside Climate Change Action Group, wants the site, including the golf course, transformed into an “urban forest” or wetlands.

But the success of the first AFL Women’s season has sparked an explosion in the number of women and girls playing footy, putting a huge strain on existing ovals and facilities. Leading the charge for a third sporting oval alongside an environmentally-friendly proposal is Felicity Frederico, who recently joined the Victorian Amateur Football Association board after eight years on the Bayside City Council.

Frederico is coordinating the campaign for a third oval, which would be used for women’s and junior footy, and is backed by AFL Victoria, the South Metro Junior Football League, the VAFA and schools.

Frederico said the environmental group was refusing to compromise on a plan for the whole Elsternwick Park north site to be turned into a conservation reserve, even though the proposals could coexist.

“Our concern is Elsternwick Park north was declared a public park back in 1872 and since then it has had a rich history of organised sport,” Frederico said. “And in the past 20 years we’ve seen up to eight ovals and a pavilion already removed from the Elsternwick Park precinct.

“There’s been a very effective lobby group. It’s been hijacked by the Greens. We’re saying we can have a third oval and we can still satisfy the environmental concerns.”

Frederico said there were 1500 female players registered for the first year of the VAFA girls’ competition while the South Metro Junior Football League had about 1300.

“We’re talking probably conservatively 2500-3000 girls that were not playing five years ago. This is our last opportunity in the south-eastern corridor of Melbourne to get another oval.

“A fair outcome would be a third oval … It doesn’t need to be the size of the MCG or the No.1 oval.”

Frederico said a third oval would give girls a pathway to the AFLW.

“Our pavilions haven’t adequately been built for females. But not only that, we’re giving girls really crappy timeslots to play,” she said.

“Girls are accepting second best because the infrastructure is not there and this is an opportunity to actually create some infrastructure in an area that is crying out for it because it’s such a highly-engaged, active community if you look at our participation rates.

“Once this opportunity goes, we won’t have another opportunity in our lifetime to get another oval.”

Frederico also said the VAFA’s desire was to have the No.2 oval relocated and made bigger, and share a pavilion with the third oval.

Ken Blackman, representing the Bayside Climate Change Action Group, said the closure of the golf course presented a unique opportunity for enhanced wetlands on the largest waterway between the Yarra and Mordialloc, along with urban forest and passive open space for residents.

He said the group’s preferred option would allow for the retention of Oval No.2, while improving the water quality of the creek that runs through the golf course and creating a natural habit for birds and fish species.

“We’re hoping for a genuinely creative and innovative attempt to put some bushland back into Bayside,” Blackman said.

Many Updates + New Arrivals! (05-31-23)

Hello, citizens and visitors of Elsternwick! Sorry for such a long period of silence, we’ve been very busy with many things, such as school work, actual work, and putting in various updates to the group that have been overdue, it’s taken a bit, but we feel they’re ready to be shown!

Some of these updates have been on the Discord group for a while, but only just now got page updates, sorry it took so long!

First of all, we’ve updated the links page to link to two new pages!

NPC List is our list of various NPCs! You don’t have to be a member of the mod team to add an NPC to Elsternwick, so we have quite a few here already, this has been on the Discord for a while, but to make sure it’s never lost, we made a mirror page here!

Jobs List is the list of Jobs currently available in Elsternwick, and how exactly our Job system works! Your muse can get a job in Elsternwick to help them buy nicer things, meet new people, or perhaps help in various advenures! Once more, this was available on our discord, but was given a tumblr mirror to help with new people itnerested in joining!

And lastly, after a long time, our Ban List has been updated!

The Ban List still has the concept of “Soft’ and “Hard” bans, but has been updated with a preamble on trigger warnings, what exactly would make a good character choice for Elsternwick, and some common character traits we think may not be a good fit for the group, or some ideas to help you land on if you should RP a certain character!

This is the first update for it, but we’ll continue to update it as time goes on, and we hope this is less confusing!

Lastly, let’s look at the new arrivals to Elsternwick! <:

Until the next update, we hope you have a wonderful evening!

[elsternwick-rp]

In addition to new characters, we have also started another aspect of the Elsternwick Anniversary, which will be elaborated on in a larger update soon, but a Festival Has opened between Elsternwick and Arcadia Carnival, filled with tents, temporary buildings, rides, and other activities for your muses to enjoy as part of the town’s collaboration with faeries for a wonderous FestivElsternwick!

There’s even a masquerade ball in one of the larger tents... why not drop by and make some new friends... or enemies?

We’ll have more updates in the coming days, and hope you’ll be excited to see them, but until then, we’ll see you around and hope you have a great time both within and without Elsternwick!

[elsternwick-rp]

If I were to send in a reserve before joining, what are some things I should know?

Good morning, and good question! Obviously, I would...

Check the ban list first

Make sure a character you want isn't take

Review any special cases in previous posts (For example: Deltarune characters are not allowed until the game is finished)

Keep in mind if the character is a spoiler, and how severe of a spoiler they are (Spoiler characters that flip everything on their head have a MUCH bigger spoiler window of 6 months, compared to 3!)

Also keep in mind if there's any upcoming content on your character that may change things (Example: The Owl House Season 3 begins in just three weeks, and the Collector could be there, and it just might affect your characterization of them!)

And that's all really! Other than that, send in an ask if you'd like to be a spectator or would like to reserve a character and we'll get right to it!

[elsternwick-rp]

As a reminder, please have an alternative way to contact you if you send in an application! Sometimes Discord doesn't let us add you to send your invite! (Be it because of settnigs or other issues!)

Now, onto the second part of the announcement!

As you may have seen in our previous update, we have an update planned for Spring! Enough time has passed, and we believe that is is all ready to go!

Overabundant Life (Spring Event: April - Mid June!)

With the death kneels of a mushroom man who was preventing the cycle of life and rebirth, an explosion of pent up natural and life energy has saturated Elsternwick and the surrounding area, Spring was delayed for a month or so, but now it is here in full force... perhaps a bit too much full force!

Plants and vines are growing all over town, on buildings, on people, everywhere! There's even a few rare plants that hunger for human flesh... and herbs that many will pay a pretty penny for, hope you've got your shears at the ready!

Not only that, but an explosion of animal life has brought new life to the forest, all types of creatures are wandering in and around the forests of Elsternwick, baby animals, protective mother animals, and a few odd ones you may have seen before, you'll have to be careful, if you're feeling daring, maybe you can go hunting...? Make sure they're cleared to hunt!

With melting ice and flowing water, the Lakes and Rivers of Elsternwick are brimming with latent life, hungry fish, and unusually clear water, it's a fine time to fish, or perhaps explore the lakes around town, you may even find some long forgotten treasure...

And finally, as Spring begins, Arcadia Carnival begins with a grand festival, tents and games of all types are visible around the board walk, with portals to other worlds freely open, wonderful visitors of Fae Nobility wander freely, and promises of endless joy surround the carnival... there's even a promotion to get extra Arcadia Tickets! Perhaps just this one you can trust faeries...?

And that's just a few things planned for our Spring Event! As you can see, it's focused mainly on how Spring has life growing all over the place, and we think there's plenty of opportunities for interesting roleplays, we look forward to what you may end up doing!

It ends in Mid June, so don't fret, you've got plenty of time before our Summer Events!

Upcoming Features

Finally, we have a small update on some of our upcoming events for 2024!

In 2023, a majority of the events were serious and focused on Story, including alternates, curses, and emotional energy running amuck, for 2024, we decided that this year's events would instead focus inward, with a majority of our events focusing on Locations within Elsternwick, and expanding on the lore of our fair city!

This was player voted on thanks to Discord's brand new Poll feature, which also helped us decide which places to focus on with upcoming events, and we're pleased to give you a small teaser of what's to come in Mid-May! Hopefully you won't be waiting too long...

Elsternwick's rivers have long run through the town, with many passing over it, unaware that another long river flows beneath...

When problems begin to plague Elsternwick's water, citizens will have to traverse into the maintained sewer sections and find various surprises, and perhaps a glimpse into something forgotten in the town's past.

You'll be surprised by What Lurks Beneath. As Above, So Below, as they say...

We're still ironing out the details, but we hope you'll look forward to it when it's ready in May!

Once this is finished, why not cool down and head to the beach?

Amazing things are beginning to wash up on the shores, and the roar of the ocean hides many things, valuable and wonderful things that the Museum and Library may be very interested in...

With the return of an ancient book, strange things are happening there, and perhaps some of these beach curios could help calm whatever has taken root in the library, bringing history to life...

Our next Event will likely overlap with Summer, so you'll be waiting longer for it, but we hope you'll look forward to it!

Update Done!

This should about do it for this update! Sorry to keep you waiting, and we hope you'll look forward to the upcoming events, and any interactions with our new arrivals!

And we also hope the rest of your Spring is amazing! In Elsternwick, or otherwise!

Spring will give way into Summer in just 50 days, and we'll have activities planned for then as well, and we can't wait to see what creative things you'll do with our events for this year! Whatever may come, you're sure to learn more about Elsternwick and perhaps those who live in it...

But until then, we hope the rest of your night is well and wonderful!

We look forward to whatever you may be up to, both within and without Elsternwick!

See you again soon!

Sometimes we get applications where we cannot reach the provided Discord, and there were a few situations where that happened, please remember to have an alternative way to reach you in your application!

Now, onto the rest of the updates, we have a few events ongoing, as well as a few coming up, so we're very excited and pleased to provide information on those!

Beat the Heat (Seasonal Summer Event: July - Mid September!)

As the overabundant life finally stabilizes with springs end, Summer rolls into Elsternwick, bringing with it blistering heat, strange things washing up on the shore, unique job opportunities... and plenty of ways to keep your muse cool during the inferno!

With a bizarre heat wave in Elsternwick, your muse might be encouraged to stay inside and indulge in hobbies, but you'd be missing out on some fun activities!

As always, the Fae of the Summer Court are visiting to celebrate the occasion, bringing with them mystical ways to keep your muse cool, but you'll need to do a favor for them, is that perhaps worth the risk?

If that's a bit too much, perhaps you'd be more interested in something by the beach? A pop-up board walk has made itself known on the beach outside of Elsternwick, the council assures you it's there for people to relax after examining the extreme amount of objects washing up on the beach, you could help investigate that... or take part in the various activities on the boardwalk! The food eating contest returns, there is a sand castle building competition, and there are rumblings of a watergun fight! No reason you can't have some fun in the sun! There's even a grill set up! Is your muse a real cook, or are they an entry level sous chef? Prove yourself!

However, there are a number of job postings around town, promising a high amount of pay to see the world and help discover lost artifacts, sounds like a good deal! And it might take you out of Elsternwick to some place cooler... but this sounds pretty sketchy, you'll have to think carefully if you want to take part in this!

An Ocean Fishing job posted proves that you could at least go out to see the sea... but is it really worth it...?

Lastly, if you don't mind going on a trip, a water park has recently opened in the town near Midnight Prism, a perfect place to cool down without any of the risks! There are a few reports of people going missing there, but it's very likely nothing, go on, it'll be fun!

As Above, So Below (Elsternwick Story Event: May - August 2024)

A number of earthquakes and tremors has rocked Elsternwick, causing problems with the underground infrastructure, creating potholes, fissures, and odd things appearing all over town!

These rumblings have unearthed strange things that have been hidden under your feet all these years, and the town requires you to investigate before they could become problems for everyone involved!

Reports of missing items and skittering underground have given rise to rumors of intelligent mice, and some have even say residents have already been transformed into rodents!

A fissure deep in the main district has opened, and beneath, you can see long lost and forgotten buildings... is this perhaps a long lost piece of Elsternwick's history? There's only one way to find out...

Mysterious sightings of ne'er-do-wellers emerging and exiting the sewer grates have unsettled the local merchants, they are begging you to investigate and put an end to it, even if some of them tip extremely well!

What lies beneath Elsternwick is truly coming to life, you should take the time to go down, and perhaps learn more about the town's history!

But you best hurry, the infrastructure is already beginning to heal, and the council doesn't want to put off fixing the holes for too long!

???? (Upcoming Event: August - October)

An extraordinary amount of odd objects have begun washing up on the shore of Elsternwick, treasure, lost weapons, and even solidified Mana, the cause of this is baffling the museum & Library, who are studying each of them, the effects of these items seems to calm an odd presence taking root within the library

It may behoove you to head to the beach in search of rare items.... but there are stranger things over the waves, strange ships you've never seen before are taking sail, and even when you head to the library, you swear you see books flying around

What could possibly be going on...?

You'll find out soon enough!

But you best take care, for as the winds of autumn approach, an ancient house within Delta may soon waken...

Update Done!

That about does it for all the updates we needed to put out! You may have noticed we lack the update to the character list (we're planning on changing to a google doc for ease of access!), this is simply because the past few months have been very busy, but we will get to updating it as soon as possible, and it will be present in it's own update post, we hope you'll look forward to it!

We hope you enjoyed reading this update, and we also hope the rest of your Summer season is amazing, be it with us or elsewhere!

Summer gives way to Autumn, and we of course have plans for there as well, including some interesting prompts for Halloween that might just be an odd reflection of what you're expecting!

We can't wait to see what you'll do with both our current and upcoming events! There's still more to learn about the little town on the edge of the nexus point, you'd be surprised what we have in store!

But until then, we hope the rest of your day is wonderful and relaxing!

We look forward to whatever you may be up to, both within and without Elsternwick!

See you again soon!
