April Updates
Here's a common refrain: I can't believe March went by so fast. We're getting back on our feet though, with a few members (myself included) pledging to post once a day. I'm already feeling less slumpy for it.
Continuing with last month's impulsive trend, please enjoy some treasures from the internet:
I'm blaming Apti for continuously linking Epic: The Musical, so enjoy this very cool video. Also, this is a very cute crossover picture.
Also, here's an inspirational quote to think about: "Practice consumption that makes creation inevitable."
(I just learned about digital gardens, have you heard of this? I think it's a great idea for us creative writers.)
Finally, someone pick up these hotspots! Check them out below; they have .? ݁ ˖?⭒°｡⋆ prizes! .? ݁ ˖?⭒°｡⋆
Anyway!, until next month! Have a good April!

March Updates
When I say a lot has gone on in the past few months, I mean it. I (sluggy) had a baby! His name is Joseph and we're quite fond of him.
Meanwhile, poor Indy is caught under a teetering mountain of papers, both her own and her students'. Her pedagogical duties are always calling. She's like Batman but with a red pen. Send thoughts and prayers.So, things have been slow. In the interest of keeping our sanity, we're pausing running admin events until the summertime when things slow down. Keep an eye out for fun happenings around the summer solstice. We have a new hotspot in the aftermath of the January event. Likewise, Easthaven is still fraught with our City Mysteries. Someone needs to solve them, even if the cost is randomly stumbling across a gruesome crime scene while on your midnight snack run!
In the meantime, I bring you goodies from around the World Wide Web. Here's a video that made me laugh, a cool piece of art, and a quote I like.

Begin a thread in a hotspot and submit a mod request for a special encounter.
This particular location has been a thorn in Easthaven's–and by extension, the Exchange's–side for some time now. Rumours abound of a strange elk-like creature lurking in the shadows of the orchards. It has harassed several people according to the word on the street, and photos are beginning to appear online, claiming it's a new New England cryptid. Most believe it's just a particularly aggressive elk, displaced by development or something of the sort.

Some strange happenings at the Kingslane City Mall have led to, you guessed it, even more strange happenings. Sometimes it's as small as putting your shopping bags down for a moment only to discover they've been moved when you look away. Other times, the seasonal decorations have come down on top of hapless shopper's heads! In all cases, someone claims to have seen something small and humanoid darting away from the scene of the crime. Of course, most say this was a trick of the eye, but people always say that to protect their sanity.
Happy March!

Beautiful Berenice: The Latest Holiday Craze
Introduction
It’s all the rage. You’ve heard about it on the news, on the internet, and from friends: the latest Beautiful Berenice doll just dropped and she's taken the holidays by storm. This doll has inspired the usual early-riser “shopper stampede” often seen on Black Friday. Everyone seems to need one, for children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Perhaps you even want one for yourself.
Really, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. What's so special about this doll? Perhaps you know, being a collector, or an individual shopping for children, or perhaps this is very baffling. Still, not even the occasional news report about shoppers getting a little too exuberant about acquiring one of these toys raises any red flags.
So, you think nothing of it when you go out to do some holiday shopping at Kingslane City Mall. The mall is crowded, but festive, with that holiday anticipation thick in the air. People are there for the atmosphere just as much as the rush of shopping.
It’s here you finally see what the Beautiful Berenice craze is all about. There are lines of shoppers out the doors of every toy store in the mall. Most who have one seem to be clutching it with an air of possessive nervousness, as if they expect their precious prize to be snatched from their hands at any moment.
It is, perhaps, a little eerie, if you look too long.
But why worry? It’s the holidays and it’s just a normal viral, shopping craze. What could go wrong?
This event will run from today (December 24th) until the end of January and is held in the Kingslane location in the Newton forum.
The encounter itself need not be on December 24th specifically. If a character would go shopping earlier or later for those after-Christmas sales, then that is acceptable. The main requirement to earn a reward is that the encounter is requested and completed by the end of January.
The set up involves encountering a shopper with a Beautiful Berenice doll, either in a crowded area or somewhere more secluded. Note: does not need to be at the start of the thread, take what time you need for the characters to get into the set up. Further details will drop when the encounter is requested.
Have fun, and happy shopping!

December Updates
Well, here we are! The last month of the year. As people may have noticed, it's been slow around here. We apologize for the lack of fall events, but we're sure the hustle and bustle on our end will ease up around the New Year. Happy holidays, everyone!

November Updates
Happy November! Once again, a fairly quiet month on the updates side as fall comes rolling in. We're planning on a small fall event to enjoy, but for now, the renaissance faire remains a fun option for characters to partake in.
Also, we'd love to see more people taking on the Train Station of the Dead, linked below! All you need is to find someone who was in Phase I to participate.
Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying the cooling weather!

October Updates
Happy October! Fall is here and so is the Easthaven Ren Fair! Join the fun and enjoy costumes, mead, and turkey legs. And with October coming up, now's the perfect time to get into some spooky shenanigans with friends (or enemies, if you like).
Lacking any major developments to the system, this is a short and sweet update. Have a good October!

This particular hotspot has been a thorn in Easthaven's–and by extension, the Exchange's–side for some time now. Rumours abound of a strange elk-like creature lurking in the shadows of the orchards. It has harassed several people according to the word on the street, and photos are beginning to appear online, claiming it's a new New England cryptid.
