Notes

The 20 year anniversary is ongoing!

This month's Waja of the Month is up and ready to partake in!

It is similar to the "Waja of the Week" dress up contest that staff used to do "back in the day", except its every month instead.  Each month will have a theme, you will have two weeks to dress the Waja up and submit it.  Staff will vote for their favorites, and will announce it around the end of the month / beginning of the next month depending on time allowance.

There will be a number of prizes for this.

Here is round ten:
[wom] Round Ten - Costume

 

You take a deep breath, enjoying the crisp early morning air as you walk through the park at a casual pace., heading toward the mining caves. Fall is your favorite time of year for hikes. Cooler temperature, colorful leaves, it’s a nice break from the fun but chaotic Halloween activities. Plus, the trails are usually pretty empty, with everyone focused on the upcoming parties, treats, and costumes. A relaxing walk, home for lunch, and then kicking off the festivities. The perfect Halloween.

Up ahead, you see Wicke sitting in the shade of a small copse of trees. He always picks a shady spot when he settles in one place, to protect the candles from the sun. You often stop and chat on your way to the trails. Normally he’s animatedly enticing customers, teasing them with tips on how to choose the best graves to dig up and showing off his wares. Today he’s lying down, head on his paws, dampened flames flickering just enough to heat the candles on his horns. They're starting to slump.

“Good morning, Wicke.” You stop in front of him, crouching down. “Why so down today? Are you ready for trick-or-treating tonight?”

He shakes his head. “I’m not going.”

“What? Why not? You’ve been working on your costume for weeks.”

He sighs. “My sword is gone. I brought it with me to practice for tonight. It’s been slow this morning, so I went to get some cookies from Paisley for breakfast. When I came back it was gone. No sign of it.” He looks up at you. “Have you seen anyone walking around with an old style sword?”

You try to think. There hadn’t been too many Wajas on your way. “Um…I saw Vyra glitching whole suits of armor to guard her candy stash last night, but no one with a sword today so far.”

He snorts a laugh. “That tracks.” Wax drips down onto the grass. “I’d look like a complete idiot going around as Zorro without a sword, so yeah, not going.”

“Can’t you just get another one? There are all sorts of swords in the shops.”

He looks at you like you’re crazy. “No. You can’t use just any sword if you’re dressing as Zorro. He uses a specific one, a cup hilt rapier. I spent ages researching what kind of sword it was and trying to find one, but I had to have one made. I even talked to different swordsmen to start learning how to use it properly. There isn’t time to make another.”

“I’m sure it must have been a mistake.” You’re quiet for a minute, frowning. He’d put in so much effort, there has to be a way to find it. “Come on!”

“What?”

“Come on,” you repeat. “Put some fresh candles on, we’re going to find your sword.”

It seems that Wicke could really use your help, check out this thread to find out what comes next!
