Fall 514 AV The passing of the season comes with no relief from the heat. Temperatures stay within the 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and with an increase in the number of storms comes a season of high humidity and muggy gloom. Throughout the entire season there is a near constant storm, crackling lightning and light rain. When Zulrav is not fully present then the skies are overcast, and what few moments of direct sunlight are few and far between. A thick fog rolls over the island on most nights, bringing with it an even greater sense of unease as ghosts and other spiritual beings feel their strength increase throughout this season. Wanda has more than her fair share of work during Fall, and so she has been active in seeking one or two new 'apprentices' to aid her in containing this ghostly outbreak. Sahovan Calender of Events for Fall 514 AV 1st: The Watchtowers on the mainland shine a brilliant red as Fall begins, though none on Sahova can see it. 2nd: Throughout the Citadel notes begin arriving in Quarters, Labs, and Workspaces; they are work orders. All are signed by direct superiors. The Council of Five is exempt. Not all of the notes arrive on the 2nd of Fall but every active member of the Citadel receives a missive.This is a mandatory event, the thread will count as one of your job threads for the season and does not need to be solo.
