Hey everyone! How's the summer heat treating you?

[Her smile seems even more forced than even her usual act- like she hoped that over-saturated grin would allow her to push her way past whatever it was bothering her.]

So July kinda... okay like, majorly ran away with me, so- So I'm gonna be hosting the Summer Fashion show on the 15th August, at the beach- we'll be doing... so, like, the morning theme will be summer styles, with swimwear in the afternoon. I'll put on a BBQ too!

I hope you guys are as- as excited as I am! It's gonna be, like, a total blast.

Any volunteers who want to help out would be super duper appreciated, so just... lemme know, 'kay?

This is like a public service announcement for anyone that happens to have wings that they didn't have before.

Don't try to fly. Unless you've got kinetic magic any attempt you make is going to go really badly and you're going to hurt yourself and you're going to look stupid.

Birds are naturally designed for flight. They have incredibly strong chest muscles to help with the movement of their wings. Their lung capacity manages oxygen efficiently so they can remain in flight for long periods of time. They have hollow bones which make them lightweight. Their bodies are streamlined in shape to prevent air resistance.

Basically don't do it. But go ahead if you want, just don't die. Otherwise I'm going to meet your ghost and I'm going to laugh at you.

[ That's actually a lie, he's terrified of ghosts. Please don't haunt him if you die from falling off a building trying to fly.

Please just don't do that to begin with. Safety first, fellow temporary bird people. ]

Hey there, friends! I have a little poem I wrote for you. Yes, you.

[Well, he actually wrote it for Merlin, but who's nitpicking? He reaches for a piece of paper he composed his masterpiece on, clears his throat, and recites:]

My magic is green,
But also dark,
After hearing my terrible poetry
Are you feeling a little spark?

... No? [There's a lingering grin on his face, before he screws up the paper and tosses it over his shoulder.] Oh well! I'll think of something catchier next time.

Anyway, now that I've got your attention, I just wanted to let everyone know that earlier last month, me and a couple of pals did a little exploring in the desert on the north side of the island. It was a long journey, but eventually we found what I can only call a huge whirlpool of sand.

I would have loved to have gotten closer to see what was causing it, but the sandstorms around it were way too strong. My guess has to be some powerful being hiding inside it, or maybe some strong magics were cast on the area to keep out intruders. For now, it's a dead end.

It did get me wondering, though: has anyone done any exploring of their own around the island? What did you find?

[Kitten’s been watching the questboard and watching the network, and they have some Thoughts.

And with the help of a little bit of technomancy and a shocking amount of awareness, they’ve filtered their Thoughts so no minors will be subjected to this.]

So how many of y’all doing this quest for Merlin are using it as an excuse to not be a fucking coward? You can say it’s just ironic or for the quest so it doesn’t matter how badly you fail at getting it out there and getting turned down.

Which fuck that, honestly. If you wanna fuck someone you should just say so instead of pussyfooting around cuz you’re scared. The worst that can happen is you get rejected and maybe your friendship goes pear shaped, but better than just pining and thirsting.

But, hey, if you’re not weak and you’re cute, feel free to hit me up.

[Nobody said they were good thoughts.]

[Local hedgehog has a desire, but aside from knowing about one cafe? He's clueless on how to fulfill said desire. So to the phone, he goes.

Also who cares about whatever craziness is going on with the rest of you.]

Which place is the best place to buy coffee beans?

[Yes, that is it. He asking after beans but...]

Aside from Magnolia Cafe, I know of that place already.

[Ren looks a little bit different this month, thanks to a certain ritual. He's confused about it, sure, but he seems to be fine with it. Thanks Lunatia for teaching him this is actually pretty normal.

His condition isn't why he is one the network though.]

I'm sure I won't be the only one on the network with the a certain #MerlinQuest in mind, but someone has to get it started, right?

This is an invitation for anyone to come do the quest with me. If you're feeling shy, I can start us off~ But I would like to know who I'm talking to so I can personalize~



And before any of the spoilsports ask, no I don't feel ashamed. Why would I be ashamed of wanting to spread love and kind words around?
