fable event #4

// with love from kanshi

Welcome back to the beautiful, fragrant and floral region of Kanshi! The start of the month saw several people experiencing this magical land, and an invitation back has been sent to everyone in Fable.

In early Spring, help was offered to Kanshi in order to clean up stray cherry blossom petals. Now, after a significant part of Kanshi's magic has been restored with thanks to the residents of Fable (see below), Fable residents have been invited back to experience this restored magic. Even the Fable residents that didn't visit the caves! Everyone is welcome.

the crystal caves

// rainbow restoration

While you slumber, an announcement from Prism is experienced by Fable's residents.

"Greetings, my otherworldly friends. I am visiting your dreams tonight to tell you some incredible news. As many of you know, there was once a magical Rainbow Bridge which connected this realm to all of the others. This bridge was created by myself and my siblings, who were kidnapped by an evil Witch. The Witch demolished the bridge with her dark magic, rendering Fable isolated without any outsiders able to visit on their own accord. In addition to this, the realm's magic weakened. It is with your help that I have been able to recreate parts of the realm in the way my siblings and I did. With thanks to your efforts and growing your fruit, the Orange segment of the Rainbow Bridge has re-spawned. The magic that it has restored are some Crystal Caves that were created by one of my siblings many moons ago. I would love to ask that you visit these caves and investigate them, in order for me to check on how the magic is. You will be rewarded accordingly. I have full faith in your abilities to complete this task. I recommend that you do not go alone, but if that is what you wish, I cannot stop you."

When you awaken, there will be a door portal that takes you directly to the caves in Kanshi once you are ready to pass through it. Good luck on your adventure!

// the crystal caves

When the dragon siblings were kidnapped by the Witch, many parts of the realm that they created themselves started to fade away without them present in it. Prism's plan is working accordingly - the magic generated by otherworldly inhabitants is starting to restore Fable to what it was before the Witch shattered their rainbow bridge and threw off the magical balance. The Orange dragon sibling was an avid cave enthusiast. He carved the caves himself and created them as a haven for himself and other creatures within the realm to enjoy.

Those who venture to the caves to investigate them will be compensated with a furniture set of their choosing. To specify the set of your desires, reply here!

After following many winding tunnels, when you make a turn into the right cavern, you are greeted with the sight of a very ... comfortable looking room, actually. There are pillows and blankets strewn across the floor, and you can't say you've ever seen anywhere more inviting to take a nap in your life. Lining the walls of the rooms are flowers that some may recognise as Lily of the Valley, but a different strain entirely named Lully of the Valley. The pollen from these flowers will make anyone in their vicinity feel incredibly drowsy to the point where they will be compelled to get comfortable and fall asleep. Once asleep, those sleeping near the Lully of the Valley will find themselves entering a shared dream space with the other people in the room. You'll probably be out for a few hours, so ... have any dream you could imagine!

In olden Fable history, creatures were born out of crystal and rock. With many becoming allured by their beauty and strong bodies, they were quick to become the centre of attention. Unfortunately, any lack of attention would fill them with extreme vengeance and hatred. They were sealed away in this cave, where none could disturb them ... that is until you arrived. Turning down the left cavern will cause you to encounter a Crystal Monster. The monster, starved of attention, has only one goal: To capture you at any cost and keep you in the cave forever. If you have a weapon or powers, you better utilise them. The monsters can be fought - but be warned, they will fight back, and use their rock levitation magic to try and entomb you. If you are unarmed, your best chance of escape will be to flee until you can squeeze into a smaller part of the cavern where the monsters cannot reach. Facing these alone would be incredibly dangerous - ensure you call for help if you find out of these fast, terrifying chunks of sentient rock.

The upper top cavern up steep narrow spiral paths will take you to a room with a low canopy where a small hollowed out cave window pulls light into the room. There are shattered remains of what looks like a Greenhouse laying on the ground of this cavern. You may wonder if this was a part of the cave that was used for gardening. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. The shattered building pieces on the ground are the remnants of not a Greenhouse, but a Grievehouse, an area where the mystical beings that live here would come to remember the loved ones they miss - even those who aren't deceased. The glass panes of the Grievehouse are infused with magic, and in the olden Fable days, the residents would sit within it and share stores and fond memories of their loved one while using their own memories to project them onto the glass. If you try to touch or move the shattered glass, you will activate the magic of the Grievehouse, and someone who you love or miss dearly will be shown in the glass.

Heading down cavernous spiral stairs at the very bottom of the cave will lead you to the Healing Spring. Not only will it heal your physical wounds, it will also soften and heal your heart. In Fable's history, the beings who lived here would come into these waters to calm themselves after arguing, fighting, or even after they've had a visit to the Grievehouse. Submerging in the water will make anyone feel calm, invigorated, happy and relaxed. The magic of Fable relies a lot on good vibes and kindness, so those bathing will also feel compelled to say all of the kindest, most pleasant thoughts they have about the person they're bathing with.

seaside starlight

// the owl & the stars

When night falls, you notice that there is a really adorable red owl wearing a pink ribbon walking on the beach. When she stops you, she approaches you, and ... gosh, isn't she adorable?

"Excuse me! Sorry to disturb you, but I was hoping I could get your help with something!"

She seems genuine, and you ask to hear more.

"Whew. Thank you! I travelled to this place to expand my knowledge of the stars. There's a lot I know about astronomy, but the magic in this world has allowed me to study astrology! How the stars relate to each of us! If I have your permission, would you mind reporting me how you get along with the other signs after your visit? I will be most grateful! I will be charting the constellations on the beach all night, so please feel free to visit me any time. As thanks for your help, I will give you some special furniture."

This sounds sweet, but how will you know what signs the others are?

"You'll be able to tell at first glance after a piece of candy! This magical star candy will bring out the full potential of your Zodiac sign. If you aren't sure what your Zodiac sign is, I'll be able to tell you once you change!"

If you eat a piece of her star candy, you will physically transform into a manifestation of your Zodiac sign! The effects will end at midnight, so enjoy them while they last!

❖ Aquarius signs will have a blue gradient blend in their hair, along with glowing blue freckles on their body. A golden trident will appear as well. As an air sign, Aquarius users will be able to levitate and float tonight.

❖ Pisces signs will grow the tail of a fish and have iridescent scales on their body along with shell jewellery. As a water sign, Pisces users will be able to breathe underwater tonight.

❖ Aries signs will have golden horns crowning their head and golden hooved feet, turning them into a faun. As a fire sign, Aries users will be able to manipulate fire tonight.

❖ Taurus signs will have opal bull horns and opal hooved feet. Like Aries, they will also be a faun. As an earth sign, Taurus users will be able to generate plant growth tonight.

❖ Gemini signs will have a golden crown of two crescent moons appear on their head. Their outfit will be completely split down the middle in two different colour schemes. As an air sign, Gemini users will be able to levitate and float tonight.

❖ Cancer signs will turn into an itty bitty crab. Oh my gosh. Something went wrong here! But putting you in water will turn you to normal again. Whew! When changed back, Cancer signs will have a golden crab-shaped crown and shell jewellery. As a water sign, Cancer users will be able to breathe underwater tonight.

❖ Leo signs will have lion ears and a lion tail appear. Their feet will also change into lion paws. As a fire sign, Leo users will be able to manipulate fire tonight.

❖ Virgo signs will have a glowing halo of flowers crowning their head along with white glowing freckles on their skin. As an earth sign, Virgo users will be able to generate plant growth tonight.

❖ Libra signs will donned in shimmering white robes with a golden laurel crown worn on their head, with weighing scales in the crown's centre. And, yes! The scales really work. As an air sign, Libra users will be able to levitate and float tonight.

❖ Scorpio signs will have the tail of a scorpion appear. It actually works and contains venom so please be careful. As a water sign, Scorpio users will be able to breathe underwater tonight.

❖ Sagittarius signs will change into a centaur! Clip clop! They will also receive a sweet golden bow and arrow. As a fire sign, Sagittarius users will be able to manipulate fire tonight.

❖ Capricorn signs will grow horns made from pearl and obtain a pearly iridescent mermaid tail. Uh ... make sure someone is around to carry you to water. Once in water, your legs will return and you will have a fish tail instead. As an earth sign, Capricorn users will be able to generate plant growth tonight.

But, of course, you don't have to take the candy if you don't want to. Even if you enjoy your evening mingling with others on the beach and in the hotel without transforming, you will be able to report to our cute owl friend to claim your reward! Do so here! For every interaction with someone a piece of Starry Furniture will be given! (You can choose the pieces that you want from this set!)

// floating hotel

Along with the crystal caves, another missing part of Kanshi's magic was the floating hotel adjacent to where they're formed! Those travelling to Kanshi in order to visit the caves would stay here, enjoying all of the services it has to offer. Despite being a floating hotel on water, the magical veil protecting it causes it to be undisturbed from the ocean's waves. It's not going to rock, thankfully.

Holy moly, this is hotel is a lot bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. But this is probably due to the fact that it is made of magic. It will be the perfect environment to mingle and play with the new powers granted by the little owl on the beach (if you ate a piece of star candy), or a place to simply relax! Shall we see what the attractions are? For the guests information, there is no check-out time tomorrow, so feel free to leave whenever! A magical door portal will take you back to your cottage once you're ready to leave the hotel. The door knows when you want to leave and will appear when that desire is felt.

Welcome to the Floating Hotel! Is there even a receptionist in this place...? Oh. There is. There is a yawning white Tanuki sitting behind the counter. "Goodness!" She exclaims. "How long was I asleep for?" After filling the Tanuki in on her disappearing for a bit and reappearing with the magic caves, she sleepily blinks and nods. "I'm gonna go back to sleep. If you need a key, they're hanging over there. Whatever number's on the key, that's your room. Enjoy your stay...!" And with that, she dozes off again. Hmm. Either being magically vanished for many years is exhausting, or this is just one sleepy Tanuki. With your key, you'll be able to visit your room and access all parts of the hotel. Sweet!

Some hotels have gyms, but this magical hotel has ... Training Grounds?! This place is huge and has plenty of training dummies, targets and weapons to go all out with. Artificial monsters made of magic can also be summoned and fought in a simulation area. If you earned some new magical abilities for the night after eating the star candy, why not try them out here? Or maybe you just need to blow off some steam. If you feel like showing off, go for it!

Looking for leisure? There's no place better to relax than the Sakura Spa House! Anyone who steps in this room will feel immediately relaxed. There are real clouds to lay on! What could be softer than sleeping on a cloud? There are also floating candles which have the entire room smelling like cherry blossoms. There are hot springs, massage rooms, a steam room, a pool, and a beauty parlour! All of the apparatus and essentials are here to relax, but ... there are no staff members. Looks like it can be considered a free-for-all!

The Bar & Restaurant area overlooks the ocean that this hotel is floating on. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bars are staffed by other white tanuki (which are a lot more awake and energetic than the receptionist.) Since this place is made of magic, the food and drinks will have some effects:

❖ Consuming the seafood will make anyone feel restless and productive!
You really just want to do things!

❖ Consuming red meat will make it impossible for someone to lie.

❖ Consuming the vegetarian option will make you feel playful and mischievous!

❖ Drinking the alcohol will ... ahem! Make you frisky. Adults only!
