Hey everyone! This is your latest newcomer, Lunar Rabbit, and I'll be bringing in Ran Yakumo from the Touhou Project! She's a servant of Yukari, and she'll be taking orders from her. Ran is a kitsune, but unlike those of legend her personality happens to be extremely mild so don't expect her to go around causing too much trouble.

My aim is borderbender and my email/MSN is gattato-chan@hotmail.com in case you need to contact me.

Also, I won't be introing her until either Wednesday/Thursday due to some tests coming up that I need to focus on. Trust me though, I can't wait to start playing with all of you!

I hate to do this again, but I'm calling a slowatus. For safety's sake, I'll say it's from 3/29-4/11.

Affects Grell and Jill.

EDIT: The situation's calmed down as of posting this, but the slowatus is still in effect. I'll still be backtagging, though.

...I finally started something for CR? Feel free to comment if you want to know what Sora thinks of you!

/Goes back to tagging things now

Today is the last IC day that the Queen will be in the Labyrinth. Tomorrow, she'll be returning to take control of the Gardens once again.

The mods will continue to backtag the log and threads with the incarnae elsewhere. If at any point you feel that the wait is holding you up from RP, feel free to contact a mod and we can work out what happened so that you can get your characters back into play. Similarly, if you have a particular idea you'd like to pursue for your thread, let a mod know!

April's event calendar will be posted shortly; we apologize for not having one for March.

Summary: April is a month for new things and growth. After the chaos of March, the game-wide plot in April will be more lighthearted and focused on worldbuilding and quirkiness. Player plots can easily be scheduled around it if people want.

April 1: ???
⇒ Don't worry: nothing that happens on April 1st will affect the overarching plot of the game! This is entirely for fun and can be ignored at your leisure.
[OOC] April 2: Activity check!
April 8-11: The Petal Dance, a formal ball celebrating the start of spring, will be held.
⇒ The Petal Dance will be ICly announced earlier in the week, and it will run through the weekend. Backtagging is perfectly fine, and there will be no surprise horrors to jump out at you or crucial plot developments to be missed. However, on the last day of it, something strange will happen...
April 12: A new area will open up for exploration.
[OOC] April 15: How's My Driving?
⇒ The official Queen of Hearts HMD will occur on April 15th and the following weekend. Participation is optional and players are expected to be mature about it.
April 23: Troubles will arise from the new area; it'll be up to the inhabitants of the Gardens to decide how to resolve them.
