Town Events
With Kaisou being an American city, the city will be celebrating Independence Day. If you're in the mood, you can go to a summer festival, watch a firework show, participate in a chili-cooking competition, play with legal (and some illegal) fireworks.*
Since July is a water element month, the weather will be hot and extremely humid. About once a week, a severe storm will blow through the city. Expect constant lightning, flooding, extremely strong winds (but thankfully no tornadoes), hail, power outages, and storm damage. These storms are yearly occurrences and on the same level as severe thunderstorms you'd find in the southern and midwestern states of the US, so characters who lived in Kaisou for some time will be more used to this weather. And no, the storms will not help with the humidity.
*Mod Note: As this is a holiday that is tied to a country and may stir many complicated feelings for some players (and even more so due to recent events), please know that this portion of the plot is being presented as neutrally as possible with a focus more on the types of activities done around the holiday rather than any statement about the United States. Kaisou is set in America, so it was pretty much impossible to ignore the holiday. Since RP meant to be a fun hobby and escape for many players, Kaisou has always been set in an AU version of Earth from our own - and thus many political and current events have an unspoken rule of not being addressed or ignored (like the pandemic, for example). That being said, if you still do not feel up to engaging with this portion of the plot, that's completely understandable and feel free to skip this bit at your leisure.
Gate Event: El Nido
This gate event will have two sections to it! The first is very much meant to be a beach episode. You will get to go to a tropical resort that is run by a group of friendly anthropomorphic bird people. There'll be all sorts of fun resort-type activities for characters to participate in from playing on the beach to spas to an amusement park.
The second part of the event is an optional pirate adventure. Characters that ignore the warnings to stay AWAY from a pirate ship will get ferreted off on a several day pirate adventure that is full of danger. Deal with sirens, fight skeletons, try to not get killed by a kraken - boy what fun. Characters who go on this pirate adventure will be rewarded with a piece of jewelry that lets them breathe underwater as well as all the friends they made along the way.
Characters who are 15 and younger will be able to go to the beach resort alone, however they will need someone accompanying them if they go on the pirate adventure.
This month is meant to be a calm month after the chaos of May and June, as well as the upcoming chaos of August. Enjoy the beach, have fun! Go on adventure!
