February Event: Just One Mist-ake

FEBRUARY EVENT: JUST ONE MIST-AKE
Who: Everyone who ends up on the floating islands
What: February's event
When: February 15th to February 20th
Where: The floating islands above Ensō
Warnings: Mark as needed!
Sky High

Those curious floating landmasses far above Ensō have only grown more prominent in the coming days. Whether you've chosen to explore the islands purposefully or have ended up there via a mana pool malfunction, you'll doubtless discover their unique properties soon enough. You might even take advantage of their impressionable nature to mold them to your own desires, shaping pieces of the places you once knew, or maybe a place you wish you could be.

Either way, the repercussions to using the floating islands as your modeling clay will be evident by the time midnight rolls around, each night, and the islands impose a regular reset cycle to wipe away whatever changes have taken place, including that peculiar, almost volcanic texture that seems to affect the lands sculpted by your mentality. Just make sure you're not caught outside the depressions in the shape of mana pools centered on each island, lest you bear some unpleasant consequences for a day.

If you haven't signed up for a Reset Penalty and wish to, you can still do so here!
Check Your Wishlist

But of course, it's not all doom and gloom. It's quite the opposite, in fact. If there's something you've been wanting, simple or complex, something that has been making its way into the texture of your thoughts with a frequency that's almost noteworthy, the islands will attempt to see to it that this wish of yours, this yearning, is satisfied in some way or another. Some of the effects will be temporary. Some won't.

Regardless, at some point during the event, if your character visits the islands, the possibility is there.

If you're interested in a Wish Request, let us know here! Remember that filling out this form is required if you want to take advantage of the islands' "giving" nature.

Not for the last seven years.

[Did she ever find that out? Who knows.]

I would have thought Natalia at least cared enough, but...

[He's angry, because he's hurt.]

She technically should have noticed this last tag but just like... ignore the second bit of brackets

[She's silent for a moment, thinking, then something else occurs to her, and she stares at the memorial again, eyes widening in horror.]

Wait, wait... That's... that's a grave. You died?

[The lack of calling him by his own name is bad enough, but the fact that it's... that it's when he died makes it worse.]

...Yes?

[He has kind of. Forgotten that that's not common knowledge, because most of the people he associated closely with on Monsun - Ardyn, Ignis, Muffet - already knew.]

Before I came here.

[His hand involuntarily comes up to his chest, just shy of pressing into the (foreign, Storyteller-given) shirt he wears.]

[The confirmation sets off a veritable storm of... something, in the back of her mind. She wanted to yell, she wanted to swear she wanted to- something. But at the same time she feels paralyzed. This was his death, his family that had refused to acknowledge something so important to him. Her feelings didn't matter here.]

The one in the Tower never said. You... you must be further along than him.

[...]

I'm sorry.

[For... a lot of things.]

Not like there's any further to go.

[And then he's... quiet, for a minute, before turning away from the grave entirely. His voice is small and quiet.]

...I don't want it. If 'Luke' is all they're going to remember, how is that any better than forgetting entirely...?

They keep... kept.... looking at you, and seeing someone else?

[Not like she's had personal experience, or anything.]
