So I don't know if anybody's counting, but it's been one sunrise since new quests went up in the forum. Guess that means it's the first day of Quest Interval again. Has anybody ever kept track of how many sunrises we get between sets of new quests? Maybe I'm just a slowpoke to that.

Anyway, here's the real point of order: is it just me, or do all of the quests this month sound like the kind of shit that's going to go real bad if we wind up doing it, like it's only there to test us and see if we know better than to almost-murder each other for the chance at getting some sweet quest loot?

Maybe I'm just super jaded about that one time when that's pretty much exactly what happened, though.

Also, the guy who used to be in my house isn't around anymore. My cursed Ruga house is a revolving door of roommates, I guess. Wasn't there a fairy tale like that? Like someday I'll open a closet and find all my roommates' dead bodies inside, and then Mr. F jumps out and yells at me that I shouldn't have opened the door. Spooky shit.

Actually, last thing. I'm starting to feel like maybe I should find an actual, y'know, teacher or something, when it comes to magic. Is anybody around here a former professor of Wizard College? Inquiring minds want to know. (The inquiring mind is me.)

I have a few questions of my own that I'd like to ask everyone, if you'll bear with my curiousity. I've never had the chance to address such a large forum of people before, so I'd like to get as many opinions as possible.

In the world that you come from, does magic exist? Or is it something you've only experienced in this town?

If you had the opportunity have any wish granted in exchange for a heavy burden, would you take it? If so, what would you wish for?

And lastly... do you think this town is a safe place? Does it have someone to protect it, or does that fall on our shoulders?

HEY!! i have a GREAT idea re: the quest about new experiences!!! AND it's a fun idea too. ((σ(≧ε≦ｏ)))
LET'S PLAY NEVER HAVE I EVER!!!!!!! that way we'll know a bunch of stuff we could all try out together for the quest!
i know traditionally it's more of a teen sleepover thing, but we can do it right here on the forum, no pjs necessary! (unless you want to wear those on your own time lolol.)
for those who don't know the game, here's how you play:

i. you make a comment here and start it with "never have i ever ______________________." and you fill in the blank with something you've never done. protip: it's better to pick something interesting u think other people might have done, bc then they have to tell you if they did. and maybe pick something you want to do for questy purposes!
ii. normally, anyone else playing who's done the thing you named would have to take a drink or suffer some other penalty, but if we're doing it online there's really no way to enforce that. so just do what you want i guess lmao, as long as you speak up!
iii. as other people confess their never-have-i-evers, read them and reply around! you're bound to find someone who can help you learn how to do whatever thing it is you've never done, or meet someone else who's never had that experience, either. it's a bonding thing!!
iv. PROFIT!! (literally, if you find a red to do a thing with and can get that sweet sidequest loot! (๑˃ᴗ˂و))

i'll comment with an example of my own but treat this post like a free-for-all dudes! go forth, make friends, and turn those nevers into evers!! (≧ω≦)ゞ

((ooc: Threadjacking on this post is highly encouraged! Consider it like an actual open forum post. Have fun, kids!))

Hey, so. Maybe this is a stupid question, but I guess I just figure that sometimes somebody's gotta be That Guy and ask it, so:

Has anybody actually done that quest about burying people alive, and relatedly, are we all in basically general agreement that as quests go that one is pretty fucked up? Like I'm just wondering if we've got a consensus on that here.

...

Okay and I guess if you DID do it, did you get anything good out of it, or was it one of those backfire quests where instead of a sweet prize you just get horror and sadness? Again, just wondering. Professional curiosity.

whichcraft

Okay, so. I get that there's a good chance people who did this probably aren't going to want to confess to it, but sitting on information never helped anybody be a better team player so like...I'm just going to admit to it and if you did it and don't want to, that's fine.

Anyway. This is a question for people who did the quest last month about taking someone else's color. Stealing it, I guess. I did, which I realize makes me an incredibly shitty person, but apparently even the town had an opinion on it. I think, anyway.

After I did it I started having these dreams? Like nightmares. Of the person whose color I'd taken, walking away into the woods. I was chasing after them but I couldn't catch up, and they didn't hear me when I yelled for them, and then finally they just...vanished. I lost them in the woods.

So. Me and some people, we went into the woods. Because it was always the same path, in the dream. Same landmarks and everything, and I saw it over and over. And those same landmarks were actually in the woods, it turns out, ones I remembered well enough to follow in real life.

Anyway, some weird shit happened and I think...whoever used to live here, that's something that happened before. People going into the woods and disappearing. True love getting broken up and wrecked by...something or other. And not just one person. Like, a lot of people.

Point is there were really two things I was figuring on accomplishing here, which are:

1) The stuff I saw and dreamed about sounds a hell of a lot like the story that Mr. F. keeps posting to the forums every time we get a new round of quests and I don't think that's a coincidence.

2) Of the people who took someone else's color, did anybody take the color of someone designated the same color as them? I'm wondering because Mr. F's fairy tale says back in the day fraternization between different districts was a bad thing and I wonder if that includes "mixing" colors like stealing someone else's. Like, could a blue take blue with impunity, but if they took red or yellow they'd get whomped for it.

If you don't want to own up to #2, that's fine. Leave a note on the bulletin board in town and I'll check it every so often, or something. I just want to know because I think it's important.

Is there a method to prevent yourself from dreaming while you sleep?

I am not sure if it is possible, but if it is, I would like to try.

Couple of quick questions, Chromasomes —

1) I'm assuming a bunch of people got music boxes last month since those seemed to be the party favor du jour from Mr. F. Have people been playing with them? One of mine really obviously does some hinky stuff and the others are kind of...quasi-hinky, so I'm just wondering if that's a universal experience.

1b) Did anybody get a box that doesn't do something? Besides just playing music, I mean.

New people, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, sometimes doing the quests posted on the quest forum gets you fun and interesting prizes. Which, coincidentally, brings me to —

2) Has anybody gotten fun and interesting prizes from the ones from this month? I'm mostly asking because I'm wondering about the one about wrecking people's days, just how heavily Mr. F is incentivizing us all being dicks to each other.

[WOW, amazing, this isn't Bruce Wayne pretending to be his son. This text sounds so different!! Like a tiny turd child.]

A community board is now established in the center of town to promote the accessibility of important information. Try not to clog it with anything useless or confusing for new people.

Anyone tampering unnecessarily or destroying the board will answer to me.

[Those visiting the board will see it has already been decorated with a map of Chroma and a garden list, but most of the space on the front and back is left empty for others to adorn it with whatever they would like.]

so hey we never discussed how a magical hen would induce feelings of romance
like how technicolor is this bird
could you hold it up so it could be a discoball
i guess id fall shades over heels for that kind of chick
youd think thered be more magical rainbow bird weathercocks around if that were a huge thing here though
i want a magical rainbow bird weathercock
also i think the forest is against us looking for a disco bird
because the forest is antidiscobirds
which is oppression tbqh
i am being oppressed by a bunch of dickass trees
which is BULLSHIT
but also pretty much par for the course

anyway waiting for quest day and the new month to come is so oldschool
so
i am officially opening quests up for business
thats right mr f you aint the only one who can assign vagueass poetical quests with random requirements

quest fuck you forest and your disco bird oppression:
find the sacred discochick
dancing queen of only seventeen
or whatever that is in bird years
requirements: hopping dance music

quest im bored and you should all entertain me:
tell the coolkid a fairy tale of your own creation
(authors note dirk isnt the coolkid)
(some offense dirk)
requirements: the ability to string words together to form sentences

quest usually we have to fight something:
i made a scarecrow and put it up in the garden
go defeat it in honorable combat
requirements: no sense of shame

quest something something feelings quest:
hug a tree
maybe if we hug enough forest trees
the forest will stop being a little bitch about us wandering inside
requirements: touching mood music

anyway if you complete one of my clearly superior quests you can go to the garden to get a prize
were on the honor system here folks
dont take shit you dont earn
or do im not the boss of anyone

ps if anyone figures out a way to get or make more film for cameras on the regular
hmu
peace out

pps the forest thing was john and i kept getting bounced back when we went to maybe consider finding this awesome discobird
and eventually went well fine fuck you too
after like
three attempts

ppps is there an upper limit to how many postscripts you can put on something im not even sure

(it's ur homie)

aight gather round for okuya$u's latest creepy town update
and don't tell me not to do it because i already did it so suck on that
but while half of us were sick as shit and the other half were kidnapped me and emma went to check out the well

like from the inside

u nerds out there might wanna write this one down

mostly it was just cold and wet (no shit) but overnight it exploded with magic? at least i think it was at night
kinda hard to tell from in there
it was pretty much just blinding us for a couple min but we already know the well's gotta be magic so what else could it be? magic

[This is the best explanation he can come up with, don't @ him.]

and we saw some crazy stuff! i saw people building the stupid well, like other people, and it was normal and nobody was a fucked up monster or a ghost or anything!
and emma saw more mystery people moving into town and then all of us were dots by color like on lupin's map but magic
and people were connected to stuff that has color i think?
so mr. F must be keeping track of who's "fixing" what stuff with the wrong damn colors

don't ask me what stuff ur stuck to on the color map though cuz i didn't see it
and i haven't seen emma since the other day in the well so
she's probably gone

that's all i got this time folks
well still sucks, mr. F still sucks, we're all still here
mostly

sup everyone it's Michael again
now with a BRAND NEW PAINTJOB (check it!!)
ok but seriously i got two things to say

first off: last time i posted on here i made promises about sharing stuff i got from out my portal basement
and i wanna make good on those promises cause it'd be a dick move to do otherwise.
so i was wondering if anybody's up for pulling a D&D group together?
disclaimer: i have never played D&D IRL, and also the DM guide i hauled out my portal is both hilarious AND useless because who has the time to memorize every single page of that?? (spoilers: not me!)
but i got dice and enthusiasm and a broad strokes understanding of how it works which imho makes up for it
i also dragged a handful of board games and stuff out so as much as it pains me i'm also putting those out there if anyone gets bored of questing and wants to just kick back and chill.
i dunno where is the best place to do any of this but i'm open to ideas!

second
no joke but last week i opened my front door to find an oldtimey milkbox crammed full of pecans.
i mean SERIOUSLY crammed. there are more pecans here than i could ever want to eat.
so if anyone wanted to make pecan pie, or literally anything else with pecans? i am totally willing to share my windfall
i'll even do home delivery if ya want!

explodosafe

Okay, hit me if that's a stupid question or somebody's asked this before, but has anybody tried to make some sort of stairs or a ladder into that well by now? With the frequency we have people struggling to get out of it I'm starting to think making a permanent climbing help would make sense. (Maybe also something like a 'first arrival bus stop hut' with blankets and a poster with FAQ while we're at it.)

extrapolating

(color!)

To everyone, I have two requests, if anyone is able to help me. To say so at the start, they're not related to the quests this month.

One, I would like to learn how to defend myself. Considering how dangerous things happen here at least somewhat frequently, it seems like it would be a good thing to improve on. Who knows when we might have another supernatural problem, right? I don't really have any preferences for what to learn, except I doubt guns would be useful. All things considered, I think using ammunition to teach someone is a waste of resources.

Two, if you happen to know anything about quantum physics, alternate dimensions, interdimensional travel, or anything like that, I'd like to talk about it. There's something I can do that might be able to help people go home, or at the very least, I might be able to use it to take a few things to help us here. But ideally, I'd like to research it a little more before I start practicing. This one might be a long shot, but I thought I would ask.

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to read this. If you can help with either, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth

hey sup despite this slightly less attractive shade this is dave i mean john is here but i am too and as the arguably more attractive of the two of us im going first i got more votes at prom that means its true but anyway just mentally call up my red i know you can do it obviously the rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated or like not that exaggerated that definitely happened but things are copacetic now aside from the weird few days where i felt like a reject mascot from a kids show what dave is TRYING to say is that hey, we're back. it looks like guren maybe sort of explained what happened (sorry guren! and okuyasu! and everyone else?) i think the boogeyman was defeated right? if we could get details on how it all finished that would be pretty good. here's a fun fact for you: when you come back from the dead, you get to look all sketchy and weird. i'm not sure we even recognized each other, we were just in our house assuming we were supposed to be there. we would have been in touch sooner but i don't think we could have been. it's been a couple of days though...dave probably has a more specific count. four days total dude two days gone two days in weirdass mode im not gonna go into minutes and seconds thats useless to anyone not me it was like being a coloring book only instead of waxy crayola goodness we were being filled with like speech and not looking creepy as fuck gotta say godtier revival is a lot neater than that bullshit and also generally more reliable bc idk how much we can rely on the sketch bullshit probably not dying is still an excellent course of action for anyone who prefers not being dead you know as per usual in more important news two days spent puttering around banging on the piano led to a life changing decision and were starting a band i would say a boy band but were accepting of all genders and instruments and like musical creeds although imma judge you a bit for musical tastes probably but like you can still come and join and hang and jam and john will judge you less probably maybe or at least hell smile goofily while he judges you so really what have you got to lose other than free time which lbr we all have way too much of were still arguing about band names or if an informal jam session even requires one hint john has awful naming sensibilities and mine are amazing ok more like the opposite of that is true! jeez. but like he said, we are actually open to people coming over and playing at our place. the piano is technically portable if we feel like it but i kind of don’t want to, so just let us know. thanks! oh. is there anything else we’ve missed in the last four days? thanks again.

Okay, so, a couple of things.

First off, probably useful for people to know right now: there's silver in them there hills. Forest, I mean. There's silver in the woods and you really have to look for it because it's buried, but it's out there. I found a ring in a chest, and I have a feeling given this place it's not the only one out there.

Second off is magic. I keep seeing people on the forum offering to use their talents to help make things better for everybody around here, so I guess I figure I should throw my figurative hat into the ring on that one, too. I was telling a guy recently that my magic is kind of like clay, and the spells I can do are like molds for it. Just because I've got molds for hearts, stars, and horseshoes right now doesn't mean I can't someday figure out how to make clovers and blue moons, too. It's just...working out how to do it, the first time.

Example: I've overheard enough people complaining about there not being any hair gel around that I went and figured out how to simulate it with magic. I don't need it myself but hey, trade me a favor and I'll do your hair for you, if it means that much to you. I'm a helper.

But yeah, I figure if I can do that, then maybe I can do other stuff, too. Things people think the town needs — above and beyond just putting on music for the local prom, I mean. So I'm taking ideas, if you've got them. I can't make any promises, but...you know, I want to help. Even if it's just really random, stupid little conveniences. Like maybe I can enchant a bathtub to heat the water you put in it or something, I don't know. I'm good at tricks like that, it's kind of what I do.

Third thing, and this is kind of out there but I just wanted to see if anybody else has been having thoughts like this too. Does it ever seem as though this town is, like...some kind of entity in its own right? Like a thing with a will of its own?

Hello everyone! Caramia here!

A quick word of encouragement for making it through another town trial. An apology that you had to go through it to begin with. If there’s anything you need or want to talk about in that regards, remember that you have people here for you!! In all honesty, I was worried I might not see some of you again. It certainly felt nice to be wrong in that regard.

We’ve been given new quests, and one of them is something I feel I could help with!!! It says 20 people are required, and I don’t think it means all at once, but all the same, it would be nice to have it done in one fell swoop, right? I have to get things prepared, so it’ll take me a week at least to get it sorted, but would anyone like to join me for a positivity party get together? It would be fun, and a celebration for the people who really feel they deserved one (because I know some of you got ripped off for rewards), and finally as a big (pardon my language) “Fuck You” to this Oz-forsaken town.

Let me know your thoughts!!

hey forums! my name's prompto argentum, i'm another one of the new guys. if you're one of the people who helped me last week i wanted to thank you all and let you know i'm fine now!! (*´╰╯`๓)♬ i've been staying with my friends in bluo and so it took me a while to go look for my laptop in flavo.

anyway i'm sorta curious about something. do a lot of people here come from worlds where magic is really commonplace? like, magic's deffs a thing where i come from but not a lot of PEOPLE have it, you know what i mean? it's in the environment and of course the astrals are magic and some wildlife and monsters have it but it's restricted to only a couple important bloodlines in humans, them and the people they share it with.

you don't have to answer if it's personal and you're like a magical vigilante with a double life or something, i just sort of wanted a sense of where everybody's at since it's so weird to me to see so many people talking about or using magic powers so casually. not bad weird!! just weird.

here's hoping it doesn't rain today! fingers crossed!! x꒰✩˙˟˙✩꒱x

You know, I'm glad that wherever this place is, the Powers That Be apparently recognize that access to the internet is right there in the bottom tier of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right along with food, water, sleep, and shelter. Apparently there's only this one forum, though? But I guess it's better than nothing.

Anyway, can someone fill me in on this "quests" thing? I know it seems pretty straightforward, "do this quest and win a prize", but what's the deal with the guy who lives in the azure district? Maybe I'm just not following how that fits in?

Apparently I'm a red, though, and I'd kind of like to pull my weight if I'm going to be stuck here for the foreseeable future, so I guess if somebody's in a questy mood, feel free to hit me up. I guess it'd depend on what the quest is, but maybe I can help. Or at least I can increase the overall hotness of our group by 1000% by being a part of it. (That's a joke.)

Maybe this is jinxing it (knock on wood), but this place seems...sort of nice. Like, yeah, we're all stranded here or whatever, but it's got a really "Gilligan's Island" kind of feeling to it? Like, okay, we're technically stuck here on a three-hour tour gone wrong but The Professor is figuring out how to make a washing machine out of a bicycle and some scuba flippers and Mr. Howell's setting up a nine-hole golf course for some reason and Ginger's somehow contributing by sunbathing and being glamorous but it kind of works out, I guess, for morale or whatever.

There was a point to that but it's gone now.

Anyway. Quests. I think I'd like to get in on that, so I'm open to takers.
