Woah, it's February already! Through snowstorms, capitalism, political nightmares, seasonal depression, and more, we persevere towards spring as the world gets ever-brighter with the return of the sun. I'm so proud of all of you for what you've gotten through <3 (It's Imbolc today and I'm sentimental, sue me ;P )

Anyway, we're gonna try to keep February a little light as we roll out of a hefty event in January that many folks are still enjoying, and in preparation for shit to get very real in March!

The Winter TDM is live for one more month! Take some time to play around on there and enjoy the market, sleigh rides, ice skating, or see if you can't catch a flying horse rustler! ICly, Jean Jacket will have vacated the premises by Merrymeet. Also, this is a great time to start thinking about things you'd like to see in the upcoming Spring TDM! Should we bring back speed dating? What flavor of evil flowers should we do this time?

Merrymeet! A celebration of the onset of spring, a holiday of romance, fertility, rebirth, and renewal. We've been voting for our potential Flower Queen for a bit now and we'll be starting round 2 of voting with our highest scorers. Because we're between Kadath and the fall of Eligos, this event will be kept fairly light, though we were considering adding an element or two of low-stakes comic mischief just to keep things interesting. If anyone has suggestions, let me know! But otherwise, it'll just be a lovely outdoor garden party with more opportunities to dress up your barbies all fancy.

There's a couple of things to go over with regard to the current metaplot! The first is that with Nyarlathotep's identity at last revealed as Dr. Neil West, West Dream Analytics is now fully closed and no longer accessible, as is the Ocularum's original base of operations. (Well, you can still get in the meeting room, if you break down the locked door, but all you'll find is a cheeky note. This information will be immediately available to all Ocularum members, and passing it along can be handwaved where appropriate. Good thing we have a new therapist in town! Definitely drop by Dr. Harvey's clinic if you're in the market.

Additionally, since Meghan regrettably had to drop out of PH due to some life circumstances, we are currently in the process of transferring playership of Elsie over to Blue. Meghan graciously provided really extensive notes, but it's still a work in progress, so Elsie will be temporarily out of commission but returning soon!

And lastly, another heads-up that we will be enjoying Eligos' final appearance fittingly over the Ides of March. Because the demon-killing events tend to be extremely involved, this event will cover both March and April with our next new event arriving in early May. It was decided that Mulcahy will be the one leading the charge.
