[ The video opens up to Charlie sitting on a couch in what is clearly the Haven Hotel, her eyes bright and there's an undeniable energy positively radiating off of her in this moment. ]

Hello~! To those who don't know me? My name is Charlie Morningstar~!

[ She gives a happy wave, unable to keep still in her seat. ]

I know it's late but Happy New Year, everyone!! I was just thinking that a good way to start us off would be something we can use to get to know each other better while spreading soooooome positivity!

[ She shifts forwards to grab something off the table her device is propped up on, then what's visible is what looks like a page of colorful drawings of rainbows and hearts done in crayon surrounding the word POSITIVITY!!! All timed with her last words proudly, grinning widely. ]

So! I want to know about three things about yourself you like, and three things about yourself you want to improve upon this year!! Don't hold back, okay~?

WHO: The Dark Urge and You
WHAT: A resistant murder lizard tries to make friends
WHEN: January 24th - February 28th
WHERE: Nightwake, Beginner Apartments, and around the city center
WARNINGS: Night terrors, struggling Dark Urge scenario, and one sexy murder lizard

Restless Nights (CW/TW: Night terrors)

Voxed found his way to the accommodations provided to the new Otherworlders, as he and others are called, after leaving the Fairy Kingdom. He had been informed of these lodgings by the friendly God of Death, as hilarious as it sounds. Making his way here, he had the chance to witness and see so many new things and people. Strange carriages that could move without horses and some that could fly like Nautiloid ships but without tentacles. Large ships in the wait that were far closer to those flying Illithid ships soared overhead.

It was all dazing and bright and loud. Daylight itself encased in glass like fireflies trapped in a bottle for a child. Had he ever caught fireflies in a jar when he was young? Did he play with the bugs or was he always so craven and vicious as to hurt them? He pushes the thoughts away and continues on his journey. Finding the inn, though they call it an Apartment Building, the dragonborn found his room. Walking inside, it wasn't spacious but it would be more than enough for him. Putting his pack and quarterstaff down near the door, he would head inside.

He explored every inch of the room. The strange captured light disappearing and reappearing at the touch of a switch. The bed and its soft sheets and blanket. The way the mattress would spring back and how comfortable it felt. When was the last time he slept in a real bed? With his memories gone from before the Nautiloid, it felt like ages. Having the energy enough to slip into his camp clothes, Voxed climbed into bed to sleep.

Though sleep was ever restful. His door was ajar that night, left open during a moment of exhaustion and shortsightedness. On the bed, the dragonborn tosses and turns in his sleep. His arms raise up in front of him, swatting at something, then he twists and thrashes again. Noises escape his lips, a growl, then a whimper, followed by something murmured so quietly the words lose all form and meaning and become simply noise.

There is no restful sleep for him tonight. Perhaps the same for his neighbors as his fists and feet collide with the wall beside his bed. The sounds of tearing sheets can be heard as his scales and claws catch on them from his frantic movements. How long this will go on is a mystery, unless someone attempts to wake him. Or wait until the morning to ask just what was he dreaming about to cause such a fitful night.

A New Lizard in Town

Restful sleep is impossible for Voxed. He travels out into the city center of Nightwake to explore during his waking hours. Though he is tired and his eyes betray that, he perseveres. Several natives of the world have introduced him to coffee. In truth, it is very similar to kaeth from back in Faerun. Which is a nice sense of familiarity to have, even if it goes by another name. Morning kaeth is a necessity and thankfully it is in abundance in Nightwake and not as expensive as it was back in his world. Depending on the day, Voxed will be at a different cafe, sampling their kaeth drinks and sitting inside with a book or outside to watch the people. Such a perfect place to meet new faces.

After kaeth and food, he sets out to explore. There are so many new things to explore and experience. He is awash with curiosity and a hunger for the knowledge of what he could find. He sets out to explore the city center, a map of the city in hand with a pen to make locations of interest. His phone remains ignored and attached to the pack on his back. In truth he has no idea how to use it and has made no effort to learn how to use the strange device yet.

He will make his way to the Amberfall Library eventually. He will gladly grab books to read and a comfortable chair or chaise to sit in and devour the knowledge within. He spends hours reading books in the massive library, sometimes in the upper floors and other times down in the underground library. Occasionally he can be found zoning out, a book in his lap, and simply staring into the middle distance. He shakes free if someone interacts with him or catches his attention.

The nightclub scene will also catch Voxed's attention. Seeking out the music, the dancing, the alcohol and celebration on a nightly basis. He doesn't understand what the merriment is for or what occasion must happen every night to cause it, but it is infectious. He will sit at the bar sampling the alcoholic drinks, or can be found attempting to dance on the dance floor. Though he is unfamiliar with the dancing being done. He does catch on to why others grind against one another during these celebrations. Perhaps it is a nightly ritual to some god of debauchery or lust? Whatever the case, when in Amn, do as the Amnians do.

Dragging himself back to his lodgings from these nights of exploration, he is exhausted. He stops occasionally to sit on a bench and gaze up at the stars. None of the consultations are familiar in the slightest. Though it is hard to map them out with the lights of the city shining so brightly around him. He sighs and closes his eyes, listening to the sounds around him and hoping to ignore the constant drum beat of his the blood in his ears.

The Zhentarim by Another Name CW/TW: Violent impulses and possible lost of control

Not all of the exploration is wonderous and exciting. Some parts can be quite dangerous. Like when Voxed ends up stepping upon some sort of magic glyph and appearing in the criminal infested casino level of the Underground Mall. It reminds him of how he ended up in the Fairy Kingdom but this place was not the Fairy Kingdom. Voxed quickly discovers this place is not as peaceful as the city above. He is quickly set upon by bandits. They brandish some weapons he recognizes and others that appear alien to him. They tell him to give them his belongings and come with them.

Unfortunately for the criminals, they got too close. The sorcerer lifts off the ground, his form shifting to shining darkness. Dark purple flesh seems to spread beneath his feet as he taps into his Illithid powers. A blast of forceful psionic energy sends the criminals flying away from him. The dark flesh vanishes as the dragonborn returns to normal and draws his quarterstaff.

[The video opens with Zoey sitting cross-legged in the park on a blanket, sunlight filtering through the trees. Her headphones rest around her neck, phone in hand. Distant city noise, birds, a little breeze. She looks up and smiles at the camera. As she speaks the text pops up along the bottom of the screen as well.]

Hey—Zoey here. Taking a break in the park before tomorrow and… yeah, I’m deep in my feelings playlist again. So let’s do an experiment.

Drop 3 songs that are tied to a real memory for you. Not just favorites, but the ones with a story attached.

✨ A song that reminds you of a person
✨ A moment you’ll never forget
✨ A version of yourself you were back then

Any genre. Any era. No rules.

People are already sharing memories with the flow thingy, so let’s lean into it a little 🖤🎶
If you’re comfy, tell me the song and what it means to you.

And hey—if you’re nearby and feeling brave. Come join me for an improv session later. No pressure, just vibes, noise, and feeling things together.

Let’s make the most emotionally powerful playlist ever.

[Lisia waves energetically]

Hiiiiiiiii ev-ry-bo-dy!!! It's me, Lisia, and my partner, Ali-

[The Altaria pokes his head into view.]

-here to ask you all about your New Years Resolutions! I knoooooow it's a bit after New Years, but this is actually the perfect time, I think! A lot of folks tend to let their resolutions drop around the end of January, so this is the perfect time to remember why you made them in the first place!

We'll start!

Ali and I want to bring Contests to Ellipsa and show the city just how dazzling Pokemon can be! I've been thinking aaaaall month on how to do that, and I think the first step is getting folks who are interested in Pokemon together. Kind of like the Pokemon Fan Club in Slateport City back home. I'm still working on where and when to meet, but....It not too early to see if anyone is interested!

So let us know your Resolutions, or if you looooove Pokemon!

Hi all!

This is Cat bringing in my second character to Seasons, Nie Mingjue from Mo Dao Zu Shi! He's pretty much the big powerhouse of the series, with anger management issues (he's gotten a little better now) and a profound love for all things righteous and just. He is a leader in his specific cultivation sect and attained that position far too early in life due to his parents' passing when he was young. He was suddenly thrown into a world of political tension, leadership, and parenting his younger brother much faster than most because of it.

He is not a main character in the series, but he does play a significant role in the mystery of the story, so if you don't wish to be spoiled, just let me know here or on his permissions page on his blog, and I'll make sure to abide! You can also contact me at any time on

chohakkaifan!

He is also a CRAU from more ~~ahem~~ adult games (Reparacija & Golden Peacock) but thankfully save for him learning to cool his shit a little and developing some deep emotional relationships in the process he isn't too different from the book and won't be blatantly dealing with 18+ matters as much here unless someone wishes to~

I look forward to throwing him at all y'all!

Forgive me for my long silence...

{Xie Lian hasn't really been sure what to do with himself. His grief has been heavy, clinging to his every step. Sharing that pain had felt wrong and yet he is hardly alone in losing someone.}

My husband returned to our world. I know I will see him again. I know it.

I just don't know how to make my heart believe it.

I hope everyone is enjoying the turning of the year. [Xingchen is on a leisurely walk, his fur-lined cloak tucked comfortably around his shoulders.] May this time bring us further knowledge about our temporary home.

[How temporary is temporary? He is beginning to wonder!]

I have been in Ellipsa for two years and ten months. I can hardly recognize myself, especially when I transform! Which leads to my question:

If you are given the opportunity to stay, will you remain?
