4 more players until new applicants will be put in the waiting list.
The wind blows gently through your hair as you look fondly over the land. Thick forests with large trees are just to your right, casting flickering shadows as the light shines through their leaves. A wide river to your left is creating a relaxed environment, as the sounds of water slipping through the endless meadows are carried around your ears.
Even the animals seem to enjoy this area in particular. Every now and then you see a fish leap from the river, and a few of the Sylvorpas lying on the muddy shore lift their heads to watch them. You look up to see a few Aurleons dance around each other in the sky, seeming to play a game of tag. As one touches another, a cloud of feathers explodes out of them, and they let out a few quick chirps and fly off into the forest.
One of the larger feathers starts drifting towards you, and you reach out to catch it. But before it touches your hand, there is a quick blur of motion as something leaps out of the grass. Instinctively you jump back, and your lead sylesti charges forward to defend you, ready for a fight. Then you all relax a little, as you realize the new creature is not a threat. Or at least, it doesn't seem to be
It is like no sylesti you have ever seen before, with a long fluffy tail and big, deep eyes. Its ears are pointed downwards, but they seem to perk a little as it examines the feather in its paws. Although it doesnt have wings, it flies almost like a fairy, and a faint glow coming from the orange tips on its body makes you think there is something magical about it too.
Suddenly, seeming to notice you for the first time, it squeaks and throws the feather into the air, darting towards you and flying around your head.
"Another visitor!" It says excitedly, unable to keep still. "I'm Sunny! And you are?"
You politely introduce yourself and your sylesti team. Then, unable to refrain from the question burning in your mind, you ask Sunny if she is a sylesti herself. She giggles, shaking her head violently and causing her ears to flop around.
"Oh no, I'm not a sylesti. I'm an Estelle. We are born when someone selflessly wishes upon a star! My wisher was deeply saddened at the sight of so many sylesties without homes or friends, so they wished there was a place sylesties could gather and live together, so that they could all be happy. I was born because of such a selfless wish, and so I'm doing my very best to make it come true. That's why I'm the mayor of Stellville, and that's why I'm so glad to see you! You should come and visit our village. Its right through that forest, just follow the stars!"
You turn, spotting a glowing, gold star symbol on a tree that looks much like the marking on Sunny's leg. She smiles happily as you begin to walk towards the tree, giving one last spin in the air before you enter the forest.
"I hope to see you at Stellville sometime soon!"
The star markings are not hard to follow, and soon you see a large number of buildings ahead. Excited, you break into a run as you near the village. There are two large Morkkos guarding the front gates, and they nod to you and your sylesti team as you enter. You notice that there are several other people with sylesties wandering around the village, and the place is absolutely booming with activity. There is far too much to take in with one glance, but the first thing you notice is a large map in the center of the village. Perhaps that would be a good place to start?
RULES
Unless specifically stated, there are no exceptions to any of the following rules:
1) Be respectful to everyone
2) Don't powerplay or make stuff up. For example;
Me: You see 3 task papers on the board
You: Then I notice a fourth sheet of paper that has fallen on the ground
Remember, I make the world, and you interact with whats there.
3) You must reply within a week of my posts, or you will be removed from the thread! If you are going to be inactive for a while, let me know and we can discuss putting your adventures on hold. If you are removed from the thread all your progress with the village will be deleted.
4) You must read all of the rules and the How to Play before applying.
5) You MUST MUST MUST ping me when you reply! If you do not ping, even if I see the post, I will not reply. If you forget to ping, simply re-post with the ping and include this message: Sorry, I forgot to ping. Here is the re-post!
6) It costs 100 gold to get a room at the inn, which you may spend one night at before having to renew your purchase. In addition to the room, you are provided three meals, including a special dessert after dinner; Fairy Mushrooms!
7) If I ping you that new rules have been added, you MUST read them before continuing.
HOW TO PLAY
In order to adopt a sylesti, you must first gain their loyalty. Go on quests, complete tasks, and simply hang out with them. Different activities raise different levels of loyalty. Once their loyalty with you reaches 100, they will ask if you are willing to become their new trainer. If you accept, they leave the village and I give them to you. If you decline, their loyalty for you goes down to 50, and they remain in the village. (I will not hold them for you, and anything other than a yes is a no.)
If a sylesti is marked with a +, do not ask their status to change. Those are the sylesties I want to keep, and they will never be available for adoption/sale. However they do have extra influence in the village, so make sure to be respectful to them! The best way to respect them is to follow the rules, so to prove that you have read all of this you must include a random fruit (such as apple, orange, banana, etc.) in your application.
As you play, days will pass, and although you can interact with other players time will go at your own pace. This means that you can chat with another visitor one day, but if they are more active than you they can zip through a week while you are still only on day 2. At the end of each day, you need to go to the inn and sleep. If you don't sleep, you will be too tired to participate in activities the next day, and you will gain less loyalty when completing actions. If you go 3 days without sleep, the sylesties will send you home to get some rest so you don't get sick. You will then move to the bottom of the waiting list when you want to return.
Remember you are only visiting the village; If you want to return home (leave the thread but still keep your progress) then simply roleplay going home (make it clear you are leaving the village please) and your progress will be recorded in a separate thread. You can return at any time, however you will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list.
