The faces around Havenwell are ever-changing, but familiar--though some come and go with unpredictable irregularity, the offworld inhabitants both past and present are often seen and often remembered. And this month, they may be seen in unexpected places, such as one's own mirror.

On occasion as the days wear on, offworlders of Havenwell might suddenly find themselves physically someone else, whether a current inhabitant of the city or an individual from their home worlds. While those with powers will find them unchanged, some may have trouble with their situations in a physical sense; good luck to the temporarily short trying to reach the top shelf, or the suddenly tall forgetting to duck under low doorways. To say nothing of the general weirdness one has to deal with upon finding themselves as someone else entirely.

Boy, that summer heat. Amiright? Even the robotic natives seem to be commenting on it once in awhile and are preferring to stay inside where it’s cool enough for anyone.

When the strange heat starts up, there is a package or two (or three or five??) delivered to your home by a harried looking native in a postal uniform. There’s no need to sign for it and they leave immediately after you accept the package. Lots more to deliver, after all!

Opening the package, you’ll find a Superb Douser water gun. Regardless of the size of your Superb Douser, which is the perfect size for you to hold comfortably, every single one holds half a gallon of water. That way no one is left at a disadvantage. And, thanks to God Magic™, the weight of the Superb Dousers is also comfortable for everyone, no matter their size.

Now, what are these for, you may ask?

Glad you asked!

With the weather so hot, it’s the best way to cool down and refresh yourself. It’s also the quickest, especially with this unnatural heat.

That’s not all though.

Whoopsie, looks like the water doesn’t just cool you down.

♥ Rainbow Brite! The color of the water that just hit you? Enjoy being that color for a little while. Neon pink? Forest green? Sky Blue? Anything goes! But that color might just drain that color from you/your clothes as well. Don't worry, it's only an hour or so.

♥ Transformation! You are now a Lakemin or a Cuddle Cub! And with this transformation, you feel an urge to hug the stuffing out of people! (Please don't actually hug the stuffing out of them, that may be a bit illegal.) Hug [X] amount of people to change back.

♥ Cartoon Musical! For the next hour, any inanimate object you touch, will come to life and sing ala Beauty and the Beast style. They may even urge you to sing along with them. Hopefully they have a good singing voice...

On the initiative of one of Havenwell's own offworlders, Era (astralera), the arena has been reserved for a two-day culture festival from the 13th to the 14th! Offworld inhabitants of Havenwell are invited to share stories, crafts, display their skills, or whatever else they wish to share with their native neighbors in a show of goodwill and friendship. Anything is welcome, with no addition too small so long as there's heart behind it.

If your character is interested in contributing in some way, please make a note of said contribution in the General Plotting thread; that way everyone can see what's going to be around and maybe even offer an extra pair of hands for more ambitious projects! (For more information on the intent of the festival, please see Era's interest check.)
