NEW ISLAND: NUIDAN

Who: Everyone!
What: Nuidan appears, and a new adventure begins
When: September 10th and onward
Where: Nuidan
Warnings: Tag as you go!

Reseed the Meadow So the Cows Don't Starve
As of September 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Nuidan.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square. The temple is situated in an oasis-like backdrop of amber-colored sands circled with overhanging palm trees. From the island's center, the four corners of the island and its fixed seasonal shifts are more than obvious: to the north, the rainfall-soaked meadows of spring; to the east, the thick clusters of the trees of autumn; to the south, the snow-capped mountains of winter; and to the west, the warm summer sands and pleasant heat.

And inside the temple? The avatar of the island Nuidan is waiting.

Just enough to keep the hair out of your face, wouldn’t it help?

[Offering his hand first, he gently reaches out…. to hold a swath of the dog’s hair up away from their eyes.]

Too much hair gets in the way of /my/ work.

[thankgods]

Oh, please.

[As if it matters! Harv turns away easily, disregarding the contact in the same instant it is initiated. Why would a deity be subject to the same pitfalls as a mortal?]

I can't possibly think of such a thing when there are so many other jobs of greater import. Are you here to help? Are you going to help? Won't you?

[crosslaced]

[oh right…. this isn’t a real dog……...]

I certainly could. But I’d get a part of the end harvest to take home, could I? There’re so much back home that needs to be done as well, and I’m just not sure if I spend all my hours here that the animals will be fed and everything.

[thankgods]

A harvest, by nature, requires that it be shared. What good is a harvest that isn't' shared? It isn't a harvest at all, by then. By then it's just a hoard. Do I look like one to favor a hoard?

[The correct answer to that is "no," but they don't pause to allow for it.]

Take full enjoyment of the destination, so long as you partake in the journey. But partake, yes!

[crosslaced]

[opens mouth......closes it again.]

Alright. What are you working on now?

[thankgods]

Everything? Yes. Everything. The rice is in dire need of harvest, and even I cannot say how many pests have gotten into the orchard. I think I've lost a few herds to the north as well, yes.

[crosslaced]

Herds? Of what?

[He was hoping for.... some kind of organised to-do list. But it's fine. He hasn't seen evidence of proper planning in any deity so far, he can wait. ]

I could do something about that. Where are they?

[thankgods]

Aptonoth. Have you heard of them? Big scaly creatures, useful pack animals. Or there are moofah, those too. Cariborn, too, plenty of those!

And they're...well, they're all over, see.
