// away with the fairies
In your land, there may be stories of the Fae taking people away. Perhaps you haven't heard of the Fae at all, or perhaps you are more familiar with them than others. No matter how well acquainted you are with the Fae, everyone around you has experienced the same fate tonight: Being taken by them. Partially, at least. For they did not want to kidnap anyone from their home and take them away from the life they knew. In a small jar of fairy dust, part of your soul was taken in the night and brought to a magical village by the name of Fable.

On arrival, the Fae release you from the jar before waving their magic wands, and materialise this taken little part of you into a brand new you. From here onwards, your new life begins, shared among all sorts of magical creatures. Here, you will be allowed to grow, thrive and enjoy the bounties provided to you by these mysterious and wonderful creatures. In exchange, they ask for a share of the magical fruit that you grow in your garden, donated to their dragon overseer in exchange for rewards. After a briefing on your new life, you understand things as best as you possibly can. Now, it's time to settle into a brand new cottagecore life.

Welcome to Fable.
// arrival
Now that you are a resident of Fable, you have a brand new cottage, a garden, and a few tools to use! There's not an awful lot in your cottage, though: Just a cardboard box, a lamp, a cassette tape and a single bed. Fear not, though! By participating in friendly tasks, your cottage will look great in no time.

Something sparkly catches your attention before you realise it's a message board, advertising an array of tasks for bonus fruit. Did this thing appear out of nowhere just now? That must be the case, since you can swear it wasn't there a second ago. The board may inspire you to go out there and mingle. It seems that the monthly tasks are geared towards friendliness to welcome this new season!
picnic party
// spring fling

At long last, the snow covering Fable has finally melted! While Spring hasn't made its full appearance yet, there are definitely tell-tale signs of its approach thanks to the greener grass and the days feeling longer. Some of the anthropomorphic animals who live in the neighbouring region of Limerick - such as rabbits, birds, sheep, fawns, mice and squirrels - have gathered in Fable to introduce an incredibly sweet welcome to the warmer weather.

The woodland animals, who work together like you would imagine them doing in a Disney movie, have arranged a picnic! They've got plenty of baskets, cups, blankets, plates and cutlery to give out - not to mention food created by both themselves and their Faerie friends! (They wash their paws, promise.) Just be careful on which you choose to eat, because consuming fairy dust can do strange things to Fable residents.
// let's have a picnic!
There's an incredible flow of magic in the air that fills you with the urge to get out there and enjoy the sun with some company. It's a beautiful day for a picnic! Fable has an assortment of hills and fields to lay down a blanket and relax on. Some of the more quiet spots can found be down by the river or under the willow trees. Inside of the basket gifted to you by the animals, you will find plates, cups, cutlery and freshly picked flowers!

There's plenty of food to go around for all dietary requirements! The animals and fairies have certainly gone all-out - so there's no need to feel guilty for stacking your plate high. The food prepared by the animals cause zero effects, but the food prepared by the Fae is cooked with magic and fairy dust which might cause some interesting changes to happen! Choose wisely!
// springtime celebrations
Across Fable while the weather is beautiful and bright, there are assorted outdoor activities available to participate in, especially while the picnics are on!

Near the areas where people are dining and socialising, there are swinging seats that fit two people, an assortment of musical instruments laid out for people to play, outdoor grills and ovens in case anyone wants to cook or bake some goodies for their picnics, and arts and crafts supplies!

For participating in any of these tasks, you will receive flowers or shrubs for your garden and pieces of outdoor furniture for your cottage! Feel free to leave a comment here to redeem these once you've written 5 tags in your thread! Since our TDMs are considered game canon, if you choose to app, these rewards will cross over with you when you join the game! Woohoo!
If you choose to partake in some Faerie food, you may find yourself feeling quite interesting!

The flower cupcakes look rather nice, don't they? The icing is in the shape of a flower! These sweet treats will make you feel extremely brave and sociable! You can't recall ever wanting to talk and mingle so much!

The flower punch is being served in several flavours, topped off with flowers floating in your drink for decoration. With every sip you take, no matter the flavour, you will want to share happy thoughts and feelings! Be warned, though: If you drink too many glasses, you'll feel a lot of sad feelings come to surface - ones you that might be trying to fend off or forget about. Comfort from another person is the remedy, however!

A slice of fruit pie still carries that warm feeling over from Winter! With all sorts of fruit flavours to try, there are pie slices for all tastes. Eating one will inspire you to compliment someone! That warmth from within is flowing right out, so much that you can't resist saying all these nice words.

A slice of cake will overwhelm you with the incredible taste of perfectly balanced vanilla extract and lemon zest! It will also make you incredibly affectionate. Depending on how big the slice is that you eat, it might make you feel very affectionate indeed. (Winky emoji.)

flittens
// purrfect gardening

The sunny weather looks so nice and refreshing that you may feel inclined to go out of your cottage and visit your garden. Except ... your garden is looking pretty barren at the moment, isn't it? You have your fruit trees, plenty of soil plots and fresh green grass, but no flowers.

While contemplating how empty your cottage garden is, you notice something appear beside you.

"Mrrrrrrrp?"

Oh. It's a cat. Actually, wait, it's ... several cats?! Where are they all coming from!? All of them have fairy wings in an assortment of different colours, and it looks as though they're very interested in you for some reason. The cats nuzzle your legs and around your ankles, which inadvertently causes the fairy dust in their fur to rub off on you. The shimmering sparkles coming off the kittens may not give you a second thought, until you move one of your feet to notice that there are flowers growing behind you when you walk!

"Mew! Can you make the flowers grow faster, please?" Did that cat just talk?! Actually, if you've been here for a while, this won't be a surprise at all. These purring kitties are all rubbing by your feet still.

"That Winter lasted for too long ... your gardens are so empty! Please grow some flowers for us to play in ... pretty pleeeeeeease?"

Against your better judgement, you decide to listen to the kitties. They are pretty cute and convincing, after all. But whether you know it or not, there are special qualities to these flowers...!
After a briefing from the Flittens, you understand that all of Fable's cat fairy population have been visiting the Fable residents to request big flowering gardens to play in. It's a win/win situation, though - since your garden will no longer be barren and empty!

The flower that grows is one that matches you entirely! Whether it's the colour of the flower, your personality or the flower's meaning - the flower that grows is an essence of who you are.

The Flittens have a very important requirement for you once you have grown flowers in your own garden: They want you to visit your neighbours and grow flowers in their gardens too! According to the Flittens, it's "boring" to play around in the same type of flower. They want big, colourful gardens to frolic and play in!

Flowers grow when you walk around barefoot on grass, or handle soil with your hands. When you feel happy, they will sprout and grow all around you! Maybe even in your hair if you're feeling extra happy.

The second important thing to note about these flowers is that their pollen has magical properties! When you have a neighbour visit and they grow their flowers in your garden, inhaling the pollen of these flowers will heighten your interest in them! Their flowers you grow smell so sweet - the aroma is very inviting! You're curious to learn more about where they're from, who they are, and you may even feel inclined to invite them to dinner or offer them tea from your cottage. The longer you stay in their presence, the stronger the pollen's effect! Just how much are you going to learn about this person?

After 24 hours, the flower growing magic will be over, but you'll wake up the next day with a bright beautiful garden and hopefully a new friend or two...!?

Cyno ⚖️ Genshin Impact ⚖️ OTA

[personal profile] lordjackal 2023-03-05 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
( A ⚖️ Springtime Celebrations )

[ Cyno has settled surprisingly easily into the role he should play here. He’s enjoyed the picnic and had ate his fair share of food — luckily, suffering no effects from it yet. At least that he knows of. In any case, he eventually wanders away from the food, feeling rather cheerful as he surveys the instruments, the cooking areas and there’s even crafts… That could be fun…and cooking too. He doesn’t select an activity right away and goes to one of the swinging seats.

He finds the experience of settling on it and then letting it swing to be pleasant. He could certainly get used to these… ]


Hello.

[ He says to an unsuspecting person with a bit of a smug smile. ]

This seat is really nice. Care to take a swing at it with me?

[ Yes, he’s very pleased with his little joke. ]

[ this is, perhaps, the first and only time that tighnari will not roll his eyes at one of cyno's jokes, for the moment he hears that familiar voice, his heart lifts, and squeezes tightly. he's never been more glad to hear one of cyno's stupid puns. tighnari whirls on the spot, his eyes wide, his ears pricked high. instinctively, his hand flies to the neck of his sweater, tugging it up over the burn scars around his throat. ]

- Cyno?

[ is it really him? it's not some terrible, cruel joke? but it certainly looks like him, sounds like him, jokes like him. tears prick the corners of his eyes, but tighnari blinks them rapidly back as he approaches. ]

Tell me it's really you.
lordjackal: (Default)

I'm sorry about him

[personal profile] lordjackal 2023-03-05 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
No. It's Cyno the Orchardist.

[ For Cyno, it's not been that long since he's seen Tighnari so it's strange the reaction the other has, the way he looks shocked, emotional. He takes in everything about him, that he's trying to hide something but Cyno catches a glimpse with discerning eyes and the urge to joke starts to fade away as something else replaces his good natured mood. ]

Tighnari, are you okay?

[ He stands from the swing, taking a step toward him and studying his closest friend and confidant carefully. ]

[personal profile] goodfaiths 2023-03-05 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
springtime celebrations
[ Waking up in a new world is a strange, foreign concept to Riku, but he's finding that he quite likes it here. He'd like to return back home, of course, but while he's here? He'll make the most of it. He likes the serene atmosphere, and it feels like a nice break from being in the big city...even if he shouldn't be as relaxed as he is right now. Being an idol is hard work. He can't afford to leave his groupmates behind.

Still, Riku decides to situate himself on one of the swinging benches, and he pushes himself backward using his feet. The bench moves with him, just slightly, and he smiles. He seems content to just chill out for a bit, but when he sees someone approach, he'll greet them with a smile. There's enough space next to him for another person to sit.
]

Hello! Do you want to join me? I think it's really comfortable.


picnic
[ All the food looks so good, and Riku hasn't eaten in what feels like hours. He decides to set out a little picnic blanket on the grass, and has a little basket with him with some of the food from the locals. He's hungry, and even if it might be ill-advised to trust food from a foreign land, he's going to dig in. He munches on one of the fruit pies, and hums in satisfaction. It tastes great. ]

Oh...! It's delicious!

[ He'll eat more and more of it. He's very pleased. Eventually, someone passes by, and he'll give them a wide grin and say with a tinge of excitement: ]

Uh, excuse me -- I think your hair looks really nice today!

[ He's not quite sure why he decided to say that, but it felt right. And hey, if it makes a stranger happy, he'll take it. ]


purrfect gardening
[ The flowers that grow behind Riku are white lilies, and they sprout and bloom brilliantly as he walks around his garden. Who knew gardening could be so easy? He's having a ton of fun with it, too. His garden is open to visitors who may want to say hi to a new neighbor. He's a friendly face, he doesn't bite!

The next step, however, is assisting the other residents. Riku forgets to put his shoes back on, and as a result, he makes a line of lilies behind him as he approaches one of his neighbors' gardens. He opens his mouth to say something, but the tickle of one of the petals against his ankle draws his attention to the little trail behind him, and he looks sheepish. He rubs the back of his head and chuckles softly.
]

Heh, I was about to ask if you'd like some help with your garden, but I think I might've done that already...

[ The flowers are more towards the entrance of the home, though, and not quite in the garden. He can still help, if it's wanted! ]

[ cyno stands, moving toward him, and tighnari tenses. after all he's been through these past few months, it would be all too easy to think that this was some cruel joke, that cyno is little more than an illusion meant to taunt him, but.. he looks so real. he sounds like cyno. he smells like cyno. tighnari exhales a rattling breath, his hands curling into tight, white-knuckled fists, his short claws digging into the thick pads on his palms. ]

I'm..

[ fine, he desperately wants to say, but he can't lie to cyno, the person he trusts most in this world. ]

.. no, I'm not. But I'm better now that you're here. Even if that stupid joke makes me want to slap you.

Razor ( Genshin Impact ) OTA

[personal profile] lupically 2023-03-05 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
( A 🐺 Let’s have a picnic )

There is so much…

[ The amount of food that is laid out is overwhelming, not to mention there are a lot more people than Razor is used to being around at one time and he fidgets nervously. Someone encourages him to serve himself some food so he finally does take a plate. What he gathers is mostly meat as that’s the food group he’s most familiar and comfortable with. The flowers smell good but there’s a lot of new scents for him to take in and he takes his food to somewhere a little more secluded — if not by much.

His eyes are watchful and his posture speaks volumes of his discomfort at the social situation he’s in with no one he knows and trusts around. He’s been a bit on edge ever since arriving even though everyone has tried very hard to make him feel welcome… ]


( B 🐺 The Flower Cupcakes )

[ Razor doesn’t usually eat a lot of sweets but the cupcakes smelled so nice and he finally gave in to the temptation and tries one. He doesn’t even finish it, though, it’s overwhelmingly sweet and he scrunches his nose at it after a few bites. A few bites is still enough to have some effects on him. ]

That is really too sweet for me… how do people eat so many sweets?

[ Why does he have the urge to talk about something so inane and to someone he doesn’t even recognize? ]

( C 🐺 Purrfect Gardening )

[ The little visitors might not have expected the type of flower that grows for Razor. It’s a wolfhook, a berry with thorns. They’re quintessential to Razor and while they might seem strange or harmful at first they can be used to help and treat wounds. Anyone playing around his garden will have to be a bit careful as they do have a habit of hooking into fur — but he will be willing to help any being that has any trouble…

The urging to go to someone else’s garden makes him hesitate but after some time he does venture to a neighbor or two, shyly greeting but not making a move to try and get his flower to berry plant to grow. ]

[ Usually, Cyno would defend his comedy but he's more concerned with the scar on Tighnari's ear and what he's trying to hide. He feels anger at whatever has happened to the other, the fact that he's not okay. That's unacceptable. ]

What happened?

[ Who does he have to punish? ]

That's.. a bit of a long story.

[ or, well, perhaps not long, but not an easy story to tell. tighnari is made of tough stuff, he's been through the wringer and he'll be fine, but seeing cyno, someone who is so close and comforting to him, has made his walls crumble. tighnari exhales, then steps in close to close his arms around cyno's shoulders, hugging him tightly, pressing his face into his best friend's shoulder. ]

Just.. just give me a minute.

Cyno!

[Unlike Tighnari some people, she seems no worse for the wear. There's nothing to indicate that she's been in any sort of distress. That said, she's still clearly overjoyed--if a bit surprised--to see a familiar face.]

I didn't think I'd see you here.

A swing because these are swinging seats...

I'm almost done already, though.

[ Thanks to the combination of the flittens' fairy dust and dendro magic, Nahida got her garden ready in no time. It's filled with purple irises and she's pretty pleased with the outcome. ]

But I hope you can stay anyway. I'd like to learn more about you. My name is Nahida.

[ She usually isn't that straightforward with the strangers which is something Nahida realizes herself, but doesn't seem to be bothered by it. ]

Sure, I don't mind. It's nice to meet you! I'm Nanase Riku.

[ It'll be nice to meet new people and make friends, and Nahida's garden is so pretty... She did it so fast, too. He feels bad for ruining some of the scenery with his lilies, but he does have a bag with his shoes in it! So he'll go ahead and get back to putting those on. ]

You should tell me about yourself too, though. That's only fair, isn't it?

picnic
sugar song

[ Hibiki is rummaging through the assortment of musical instruments left by the fae until he finds a melodica. It makes sense that no one would drag a piano or a keyboard here, even with magic. Hibiki grabs it without hesitation and after a quick warm up, he starts playing a song that first came to his mind. If someone happens to walk closer to listen, he'll try to catch eye contact, but there's no way for him to initiate a conversation until the end of the song. ]

Hello? If you have any requests, don't be a stranger, stranger.

[ He knows lots of J-Pop songs and also classical music, what a range. ]

fruit pie

[ The fruit pie is just one of his targets—Hibiki's sweet tooth wouldn't allow him to just pass by the fae sweets. He's four slices of different flavors in, when he says at the person close to him: ]

In a world full of bagels, you’re a doughnut.

[ It's only fair to keep the compliments food related, right? ]

cake

[ Eating small slices of cake is for the weak, Hibiki is here to eat three biggest slices he can find. Blissfully unaware, he's finishing up the third one when he gets the urge to hug someone. He doesn't discriminate, so the first person who walks close will receive a hug with no prior warning whatsoever. ]

Can we stay like this for a while? You should try the cake, by the way.
flittens
pawsome pal

[ Not only Hibiki couldn't say no to the flittens, he actually agreed to help them on the spot. Blue hydrangeas are everywhere in his garden, so he considers that a mission complete. Then, he picks up one of the flittens and starts walking. ]

Let's find more people, Mr. Jelly Bean.

[ That's the name he comes up with the spot, but at least the flitten seems to like it. Hibiki looks out for empty gardens and once he finds one, he doesn't shy away from stepping inside the garden, Mr. Jelly Bean draped over his shoulder. ]

Hello, Mr. Jelly Bean and I need your help.

don't worry, mama will fix it

[ Anyone with a pair of eyes would notice that the food prepared by the Faeries is sketchy, yet so many people are eager to try. Vanitas is not, however, which forces him to make his own food using one of the grills. He needs to keep it simple, so his choices are garlic bread and grilled cheese-stuffed peppers—easy enough to make and filling. If anyone happens to be passing by, he won't say anything, just flash them a smirk.

If you want food, you have to ask for it. ]


mood swings

[ Joining someone else on the swining seat? Not happening. But when he sees an unoccupied one, Vanitas just goes for it. A moment of rest is very much appreciated, but it doesn't seem to last for too long as someone else wants to join him. ]

I wouldn't do it if I were you. I'm not the best companion.

flittens
that's just clawful

Either you pay, or you can start looking for someone else to do this—

[ Too late. The flittens are all over Vanitas feet, rubbing against his ankles and spilling the fairy dust. Vanitas groans because he might be an asshole on the outside, but inside... that's a little more complicated. However, when he sees an opening, he walks away, leaving a trail of forget-me-nots. It looks like he will help whether he wants it or not. ]

Happy now? [ He looks annoyed, but he's walking all around the garden anyway. ] You're irritating little pests, you know?

Noé, however, has no fear. He even has a little picnic basket with him, filled with the different foods from both the animals and the Faerie. ]

i - picnic;

[ He really, really needs to go home, that much is clear. Sure it's just a portion of his soul and most of him is still back at home, but what about this portion too? Tenn eventually resigns himself to taking some time to figure out how to reunite with the rest of him, figuring he may as well look around while he's here. The flow of magic that tempts him outside certainly helps.

Which is how Tenn has found himself with a picnic basket in hand full of everything the cute little creatures gave him, including a variety of food he picked out for himself. Usually, he wouldn't do such a thing, but with so many carefully crafted sweets... he couldn't resist. Eventually, he settles down near the river, his cutlery and desserts spread out over a blanket. He's content to enjoy all of this in solitude, but when anyone stops nearby, he figures he should at least make a good first impression. ]


...Have you tried any of the sweets yet?

[ If not, he won't mind offering a single treat. ]

ii - springtime celebrations;

[ Once he's gotten his fill of sitting by the river, Tenn decides to see what else is on offer here. The musical instruments and grills certainly have his attention and he even picks up an instrument or two before deciding against playing it.

What ends up having his attention are the arts and crafts supplies. Art isn't his strong suit, but maybe something like this will be nice? It feels strange to simply let himself do something like this, but...

Tenn reaches for a little painting set, and accidentally bumps your character's hand in the process, whether they were reaching for the same set or not. ]


Ah. My apologies.

iii - purrfect gardening;

[ Tenn is hesitant to actually visit any neighbors, even at the insistence of the very cute cats around him. So, he spends time instead working on his soil to let the marigolds bloom in his backyard. They're pretty enough that simply looking at them causes more of them to sprout around him out of happiness—even if he is embarrassed that the marigolds are giving that particular emotion of his away for others to see.

But should anyone else follow the suggestion of the cats and go into Tenn's garden, the lovely scent of the flowers they plant gives him a desire to know more about them, his own curiosity for the other person growing much like those flowers. ]
