Falling LeavesThe coming days in the Gardens will bring a pleasant breeze, perhaps a bit more harsh and more persistent than usual, but a welcome change from the summer heat. Some may even catch a whiff of the sweet essence of cotton candy, or the aroma of pumpkins. It is, after all, almost fall. To welcome and bring about a new sort of change, a whirlwind entraps the Gardens on the 14th, all but the wild places. Even if you have no need to shield your eyes, it's difficult to see past the gust of leaves and plants. When the coast is clear, nothing much has changed, save for the many leaves floating in the air above, kept aloft by a more innocent draft. Or so it seems. Sooner or later, characters will notice that their body is not the same, that they've become someone else. They can clearly recall that this is not their body, but they cannot remember their own name. Instead, they know this new body's name. There must be some way to switch back. Her Highness suggests: Why not catch a falling leaf? In each leaf holds a name, the name of someone in the Gardens, as well as a memory fragment from the nameholder. When a character catches a leaf, they will be infused with the name and a memory fragment from the nameholder. If they choose to take up another leaf, they will forget the name they had previously known. They can carry as many as they like, but they themselves are only one person to be infused with one name at a time. Surely they'll find their own name eventually, won't they? It would be wise to take a leaf, and swap it with someone else, just in case it's theirs. Or maybe they have yours. Once a character has found their name, the leaf will disappear in a burst of faerie fire, and they will be back to their usual selves. For the most part, anyway. They may feel as if they've learned something valuable about their fellow Gardener, even if they cannot pinpoint just what. Maybe it's a new respect, or a new disdain. This is a very player-run event. Players must agree to have their character's body swapped, and a memory fragment infused. We would like if players could plan among themselves, but we will have a randomization option for the swap, if you so choose. After that, it's up to the characters to find the right leaf! Please take this opportunity to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. The event will end on the 25th, but not without a few words from the Queen. |
