Summary: October is perhaps most famous for its end: Hallowe'en, a night of horrors and hauntings, when spirits and monsters supposedly roam free in the mortal realm. This year, the Garden will be visited by a touch of horror all its own.

[OOC] October 1st: Activity check!
October 14th: The garden will be visited by an aquatic spirit, dispensing sage advice and wisdom. But her counsel does not come free, and she will extract payment one way or the other.
⇒ This is your month's main event. It will run until the 21st.
[OOC] October 15th: CR Meme
⇒ The official Queen of Hearts CR Meme will occur on September 15th.

Conveniently timed, yes, but I promise I had this planned before the icon glitch broke.

Anyways, I've got to start getting ready to get myself good for school for the upcoming semester, so I need to take a break. Shouldn't be gone too long. Two weeks at most, a week at least. See you then!

Hello, everyone!  My name's Lamar and I'm very pleased to have gotten into this game.  I'm really looking forward to meeting you all!

I'll be joining your game with the very friendly red-head Eiko Magami from the anime Project A-ko and  its three sequels. 

Eiko is a wonderfully energetic person who always tries to be polite and friendly.  She's also the anime daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman (where the red hair comes from is anyone's guess).  She's nigh indestructible and extremely powerful, but that's likely to not come up unless by accident since she acts just like a normal girl the vast majority of the time.
