| A Sparkle About You | The Influencer Gala is coming up, highlighting new, existing and up-and-coming stars of the stream! For this, the city is encouraging even non-influencers to join in the fun. Do you have what it takes to influence someone in under a minute and shine your image to the masses? | Influencer stations will be set up around the shopping and scenic areas headed by NPC influencers, or even PC ones! The goal is to help train normal folk into helping them promote themselves, a product, or even their cat, and stream it! There's a variety of things to promote, performances to do and fun to have! There's a goal of five strangers to train and stream, whoever does it will be rewarded (insert a cute reward here), so be the stranger or the influencer here! | 500 moon coins + a sample gift box of whatever you promoted |
| Walk Walk Fuss Me Baby | A high-end boutique’s wares were sabotaged by a manufacturing error and the owner is absolutely distressed! To make up for lost sales, they want you to walk the catwalk and show off what they have remaining while wearing special masquerade style masks to go with the outfits. But can you really be yourself under the glitz and glam? | Certain masks start having strange influences. These are all based on the color the character wears. Red, Pink: The person becomes more needy for attention and will do all it takes to charm people for it and become more alluring to those looking on them. White, Blue: The person is melancholic and mellow, the world seems so lovely that they grow dazed and almost dreamy and will start to grow cuddlier and affectionate with anyone watching them. Green, Orange: The person becomes more competitive and will do anything to make sure no one stands in their way, and may want to pick fights with those not looking at them right. Black, Purple: The person becomes paranoid about everything and doubtful about themselves and needs reassurance and will grow desperate for it. To break the influence, just pull the masks off! | 800 moon coins + the outfits you modeled |
| Gacha My Heart | A special game store popular among the masses has finally opened up and as part of their celebrations, they’re having a 30% higher chance of lucky rolls for whatever you play! From plushies, accessories, free dinners and even gem and time cards for that special game you play, you can try your luck here! | What the owner forgot to mention is that the payment is drained from touch energy. If the person wants to keep playing, they'll have to keep sacrificing more and more to keep going! Play gacha responsibly, but for anyone who gets over 5 SSR prizes, they'll get a Moon coupon with credits good to spend anywhere you like! What a steal? | 700 moon coins (Coupon) + prizes you win |

| Let Me Be Your Sing-Song | Singing has been heard from some snow patches and caves and people are finding themselves drawn to the enchantment melodies and wandering deeper into the frigid zones, singing along and not returning. Something is out there, but what? Find out for me, please, and bring back the source of the songs before I lose more adventurers! | The travelers and adventurers who haven't returned are being turned into little ice sprites, winged creatures and enchanted to sing and play all day long until they become trapped in icicles who amplify any singing in their direction. To save them, people will have to sing their own songs in a duet and complete it to make the icicles melt and reform the adventurers! | 1000 moon coins + a music box to record and store the enchanting melody, good for three uses |
| It Had to Be Glue | There's a strange sticky substance that has been forming near the springs, and I've found that it's helping some warm weather herbs grow while the substance is on the ground, even in the coldest temperatures. I'm curious about it, and will pay whoever brings me back six jars of it to study. | The substance is a naturally forming glue from the residue of ice-slugs and fertilizer that works as a growth formula for anything planted within it, and can be used as a natural adhesive and gum for cosmetics! It has no smell, but it adds a glittering shine when used in art pieces! It only grows plants in frigid temperatures, however… and the kitten-sized ice-slugs making it can get very aggressive if they find people stealing it, so everyone should be prepared to slice through the glue with a warmth-imbued weapon! | 800 moon coins + a jar of Cooldhesive |
| Sugar, oh Honey Honey | I happened upon the sweetest treat during an expedition out and want to find it again because it saved my life and energized me. It looked like a strawberry, but made of ice! I'll pay for anyone who can bring me back a small box of them! | The treat is actually a Glaciberry, in which the snow-bees store their honey, which can be used as a sugar and sweetener substitute. They're usually left alone, but have a sweet flavor and scent that's attractive to Growlpoohs (a type of terrifying and adorable small bear, who will try and attack people if they see the berry is plucked). Find them before you get mauled for desserts! (Or bring a bear because they're cute when they have sweets.) | 800 moon coins + a Glaciberry Dessert |

| This Isn't Riding Like I Know | There's some extra space at the Farmlands that we've set up for a very fun competition. It's called the Partner Carrying contest! Run around a track with various obstacles while carrying the person you love the most. While the contest is called Partner Carrying, it could also be a sibling or a friend, too. Some of the obstacles are a little bit muddy, but what's a little mess when you're having fun? | The obstacles are filled with different things made with what nature provides, such as going through mud, jumping over logs, jumping over logs into water, and various other things. Be creative! How someone carries their partner is up to them, but the one carried isn't allowed to touch the ground during the race. Getting wet or muddy is naturally allowed. People are allowed to partner up even with strangers, the natives running the competition won't do a background check. | 2000 Moon Coins for making past the obstacle course and a "Clean Mud Off Things Instantly" Spell for participating |
| Shake your Groove Thing | There's a dancing troupe in town, and they claim that their dances can stimulate hearts and bring joy and blessings to all. I think those blessings involve my wallet, though. As I watched them dance, I kept giving them more and more credits to keep dancing! I'm broke now! Do something about them!! They were seen escaping to the Spring Segment. | They're thieves! They're using a mind-altering dance spell during their performances. The goal is to sabotage them and reveal to the world that these jerks can't dance at all, and break the spell with a real one! If the quest taker doesn't know how to dance, they'll be given a pair of dancing shoes that will let them move it, move it for fifteen minutes to break the spell. They might have to fight the criminal dancers after, so be ready for a real show! | Dancing shoes |
| ❗High Risk Quest❗ A Hundred Needles | Cacti are usually something you find from the desert, right? Well, I saw a bunch of them in the Spring Segment. Not just that, but they kept changing places every time I looked away. It's like one of those games where you need to freeze before someone spots you moving... but with cacti? In the spring segment? I was too afraid to approach them any more than that, but maybe it's worth checking out what they are? | Cactifolk are monsters that have risen from the Darkness due to someone leaving their dead cactus too close to the barrier. They move every time no one's looking by uprooting themselves from the ground and creating a set of legs and arms. Some of them even create faces. If someone gets too close to investigate, they stop pretending to be regular cacti and attack with needle projectiles. These needles cause a lot of damage and having a hundred of them stuck to somebody will kill them (99 does not, but it's really painful) due to the needles having an essence that will activate at that moment. When desperate, they will try to "hug" their opponents - by body slamming into the opponent they're fighting. Their needles act as a good defense against weapons, but magic does at least decent damage. To deactivate any of them, one must flip them upside down and pluck out a needle... or alternatively tickle them with a feather. The dark energy surrounding the monsters will make otherwordly abilities less effective against them. And yes, these are inspired by a certain recurring Final Fantasy monster. | 9000 Moon Coins |

| Crawling In My Skin CW/TW: plant parasites | Strange Plant monsters have been appearing all over the north area of the Jungle of Judgement. These monsters, like everything else, don't approach the Temple of Life, but they do approach anyone who wanders away from the place. A friend of mine got touched by one and now has a weird mark on his hand - and it keeps spreading! Please help me figure out how to help him. | Parasite Plants are monsters that will attempt to leave their mark on people. The mark starts spreading, attempting to take over their whole body and eventually root the person into the ground. It hurts quite a bit as the mark slowly spreads. It will take approx. 2 weeks for the plant to take over one's body completely. Samples suggest that keeping the mark in cold water will halt the growth - and making a potion out of the leaves of the monsters will kill it completely. The plants themselves are very weak against cold things. | 5000 Moon Coins |
| Motion Motivation | On the shores of the Great Ocean Lake, there are a variety of seashells. One seashell out of twenty is a special one that is essential for medicine that help with motion sickness. You will recognize a seashell with the right properties by touching them and feeling a cool sensation coming from the shell. I would travel to find them myself, but I am a victim of motion sickness and the beach can be a little dangerous without powers. But I will reward you with the potion and some moon coins for the trouble. | The seashells come in a variety of colors and shapes. There are other seashells with magical properties as well, as mermaids who come up occasionally would tell: one that lets you sense when rain is about start (feels moist despite having been in the sand for a good while) and another that can turn seawater into something one can drink (feels soft, despite having a hard shell). Like the one mentioned in the quest, these seashells are one in twenty regular. | 1000 moon coins per five seashells, motion sickness medicine |
| Not My Wonderwall | Do not trust the oasis that appears on the Deserter's Desert. I was taking a break on a beach near the Lighthouse when suddenly I started feeling thirsty. Instead of going back to the airship, I noticed an oasis nearby and decided it would be faster to go there than back. But once I got there, I was almost eaten by what looked like an octopus. In the middle of the sand! The oasis was apparently an illusion it can create, since it disappeared right after. A dangerous beast. Might be a good idea to get rid of it! | Sand Octopi are a giant species of octopus that live in the sand. They come to the surface only to lure animals and people alike into their illusions that look like a refreshing oasis. Once the prey is close enough, they will reveal themselves from the sand and try to eat whoever is there. Their tentacles feel rough and have the ability to stun someone - but if you slice them off they won't at least grow back! | 3000 Moon Coins |

| Golden Repairs | A vein of special gold has been found from the rocks near the Lake of Healing. Much like the lake's restorative powers, this gold will fix anything and leave a golden mark in its wake. We've heard there's an art called 'kintsugi' where you fix broken things like this. We would most definitely like some of this special gold, more of which can be probably found from the forest, but recently there's been more monsters roaming around. We will reward people for any rocks they can find with the gold in them. | Kintsugi Rocks can be found all around the lake and north of it, as they have been formed by the lake's healing powers. The melted gold can be used on various items as well as on people (the scars will turn golden). It's said to bring good luck to anyone and protect the cracks and wounds from reopening. The gold attracts Apprentice Crows: a species of crows that are learning under the Warlock Crows and do small elemental spells, like conjure fire or water at anyone with any sticks they find. | 4000 Moon Coins, Bottle of Liquid Kintsugi Gold |
| That's My Internet | The areas near Autumn Segment have had very bad connection lately. Anyone who lives nearby the river surrounding the city will tell you about how they've died in games due to bad connections. No one else believes me, but I swear every time connections go bad, these bioluminescent moths appear out of nowhere. Could they be connected to the case? Hehe, see what I did there? | Wi-Fi Moths are a species of special moths that feed on a variety of electricity and data connections by landing on wires and boxes that produce them. This time they have taken an interest in internet connections. A few moths wouldn't pose a problem, but there's a huge amount of them flying around. They escape to the Autumn Segment after they've eaten they share, glowing bright in their bioluminescent light. Capturing them will allow the person to boost their internet connection for a while, especially if they keep feeding the moths electricity (like full batteries). | 500 Moon Coins, Wi-Fi Moth |
| ❗High Risk Quest❗ I Came In Like a Landslide CW/TW: buried alive | Due to the increase in rain, Autumn Segment also has had an increase in mud. This, in turn, has created landslides. They're threatening the barriers built for natives to safely walk outside. On top of that, some people have mysteriously been swallowed by mud, never to be seen again. It's like a part of the landslides are alive. We need power holders to help out to manage the mud as well as they can. | The mud has been corrupted by the Darkness, making it into various Mud Monsters. These monsters take different shapes and forms to attack people and eat them to make their mud even stronger. People stuck inside the mud can survive for a while due to small air pockets inside the mud, but the longer it takes, the more likely they drown or suffocate. Their weaknesses and strengths are easily relatable to regular mud. The hard thing about the monsters is there are a lot of them, usually even at the same time. The dark energy surrounding the monsters will make otherwordly abilities less effective against them. | 9000 Moon Coins |

| Is That a Gun In Your Pocket or... | We're happy to announce the opening of a new sexy shop on the Underground Mall. We specialize in fantasies and have several costumes for people to act out their dream scenarios together. Or if you're unsure, you can get a free assessment of what kind of costume would make your figure even more sexy. The costumes also have a magical property of relieving stress the more you get into the role, so it's both sexy and nice for your psyche! Anyone who buys an outfit will get a voucher for a spa, located in the Underground Mall. | The costumes come in a variety of sizes and looks. What they failed to tell in the quest is that the costumes also make someone extremely horny if worn too long without getting into an intimate situation, so buying a costume for a regular party might be a bad idea. | Spa voucher |
| Under(wear)cover Mission CW/TW: Public Nudity | A casino in the Red Light District is hosting a competition, where you play with your clothes on the line instead of your money - but if you win you get a million Moon Coins. It's basically Strip Betting. The problem is, they're cheating and we know it. We need people to join in on the competition and find evidence of the staff playing dirty. The worst part is, if you lose all your clothes, they will kick you out into the street naked. Don't ask how I know... | The clothes you bet with start with accessories and proceed to underwear at the end. Giving up during the contest will lead to the same results as losing, except you at least have some clothes on your back. Dressing in multiple layers of clothes isn't forbidden, but the casino's temperature is made very warm on purpose. | 4000 Moon Coins for evidence, 1,000,000 Moon Coins if you win |

| Framing Game | I need someone to help me cover up for my crimes. I don't want you to become a scapegoat, but I want you to frame what I do onto someone else. What do I do? I rob people, especially those who are rich and famous. But the problem lately has been that I have the police on my trail, and I need more criminals to appear in their radar. I will leave stolen goods at specific locations marked on the app, so you can get them from those places. Later I will post a location to pick up your payment. | This person does a lot of robberies and there's a lot to be framed. Frame an NPC or a player character with their permission - or try to leave helpful hints about whom the crook actually is, if you're using the app for fighting crime. | 3000 Moon Coins |
| The Ace of Spades | Here's a list of people my boss wants to have beaten up. It's too much of a hassle, but I bet there are people on here who could do it for me. You'll get 75% of the pay I would get for the jobs, too - that is, as long as you don't get caught. You don't need to kill anyone, just make sure they feel the punishment and leave an Ace of Spades card next to their beaten up form. These people have angered the boss, but not enough to kill them yet. If it was just killing, I could have done it myself. | The people are a variety of native NPCs, including Law Enforcement officers and Research Center staff. Who knows, maybe one of the player characters has been named as well. | 7000 Moon Coins |
no subject
She smiles wistfully as he mentions his parents. It would be nice to see his home and meet them, wouldn't it? Meanwhile she can only imagine her own parents' concerned faces at the sight of the tall, sharp-toothed boy. In fairness, Jade's impeccable manners might at least win them over halfway! Before she can spin that thought further, his cheeky remark makes her kick his leg in admonishment.]
How's that an issue when I have you? Surely, you don't plan on dropping your performance as my guard?
no subject
Ah, I thought you had a vow of non-violence!
[And he’s raising an arm to defend himself from any more well-deserved kicks or smacks he’s earned himself.]
no subject
[She'd never have imagined being able to joke about something this serious, but then again she'd also never have imagined being whisked away to another world and meeting people belonging to completely different species, from realms far removed from the long and painful conflict back home. Still, she needs to be careful to not let her mind drift too far, or she may easily fall back under the thrall of it all.]
Even if we don't dive down today, let's at least cool down in the shallows a little after dinner, alright?
[It'll be a temptation, but with the temperature-controlled tent waiting for them, they should manage to get back out of the water!]
no subject
[He chuckles, but then his smile turns sly. He wasn’t quite done teasing her yet, and really, she just walked right into this one.]
Or is this another ploy to see me in my natural form? People might start to talk about you having a fetish at this rate.
[He says like there’s more than five people that even know he’s a merman.]
no subject
[She makes a stern face and stands up, setting her empty plate aside, to walk up to Jade, tower over him, and look him up and down.]
You think I like big fish, do you?
[The corners of her mouth are wibbling a little... it's hard for her not to break into laughter!]
no subject
Oh so it’s big fish is it? My, my, revealing all your secrets today aren’t you?
And here I thought it was my lovely complexion.
[He says letting his true form bleed through just enough for his natural colors to show. He wasn’t against a nightly swim after all, but she just made herself so easy to poke fun at, he just couldn’t resist!]
no subject
[She clearly likes his complexion alright, going by her expression! That surprise incidentally allowed her to side-step Jade's teasing... at least for the moment.]
If you're done eating, let's clean up first of all, otherwise we really won't feel like it later!
no subject
[And his complexion soon reverts to being that of a human the moment he stops focusing on it. No use trying to maintain it when they were just going to be tidying up their camp.
The cleaning went smoothly and quickly, Jade being well practiced at the camping life. Once finished he stretches his arms over his head and looks to Frieda.]
Did you still want to go for that swim?
no subject
[Having worn her bathing suit under her clothes in anticipation, she quickly takes them off and runs towards the water. While collecting the shells wasn't hard work, having the sun bear down on her for a couple of hours still left her feeling overheated, even with sun protection and plenty to drink!
Once more than waist-deep in the water, she looses her footing along with her legs as the transformation kicks in, and immediately she speeds through the sea near the shoreline, eventually resurfacing and throwing her wet hair back.]
Oh, I needed this!
no subject
Unless you wish to see me undress you may want to turn around. We can't all be so fortunate to keep our clothes conveniently on hand when changing form.
[Now he could just leave it at that and go about his business in peace. Or he could try and get a reaction by pointing out that he's been naked in his merform every time they've gone out together.]
Not that you haven't seen me without clothes many times already, technically.
no subject
Of course! What would merfolk need clothes for?
[She does retain the top part of whatever she's wearing while transforming, but the genuine mermaids' outfits respectively jewelry are decorative more than anything else (
if coincidentally censoresque)! Besides, it's not like she didn't strongly suspect that Jade hastily stripped down whenever she turned her back... and she gladly gave him the opportunity.Regardless, isn't his long glowing eelman body much more exciting? Now he's done it!! It's his fault I'm thinking these things! She can't even chide him without revealing herself and inviting more teasing... maybe it is for the best that they won't stay in the water for too long!]
no subject
Once undressed he takes a seat on the rock and wills his transformation to revert until he's comfortably in his own skin once again. From there he just effortlessly slipped into the water and silently glided towards her, the only tell being that subtle glow he carried moving closer until he surfaced again next to her- brushing his tail against her flirtatiously.]
You were right, this was quite the good idea.
no subject
I only have good ideas! But I'll admit that you were right in postponing our dive to tomorrow. The sun's setting already!
[Normally, they'd either explore the reefs or at least search for hidden ground animals - crabs and flounders and whatnot -, but in the waning light she'd have a hard time.]
no subject
It makes me wonder what the depths of this lake is like at night. In my home waters you can somewhat tell the difference between night and day, but it's a very subtle difference.
[Of course she knew his home tended to be on the darker side, it was why the lighting in his house tended to be rather dim and soft. Not that bright light bothered him, it was just... bright and loud. As the surface tended to be in general. Exciting as it was, without the Monstro Lounge and his dorms to be a touch of home, he'd made his house as much instead.]
All the same, yes, it is better not to travel this time of night.
no subject
When we dive down tomorrow, surely we'll stay overnight again, won't we? How about we explore a little after dark then?
[That, too, is a somewhat frightening prospect, but Frieda isn't a scaredy cat. To sate Jade's curiosity, she's happy to do at least a bit of exploring! She gently runs her tailfin over his. She doesn't want to feed his ego too much and see more of his smug grins (though she doesn't hate that expression on him, much to her annoyance), but at the same time, she does want him to know how pleased she is to have him by her side, all the more after the grim secrets he learned about her.]
no subject
[Well too bad for her, he absolutely does get that smug look on his face, though for a different reason than her affectionate tail touching- which he returns. Even goes as far at to only just reach for her hand, letting his clawed forefinger just barely wrap around hers in a very subtle hold.]
Still, that's a surprisingly bold suggestion from you. To think when we first met you were too fearful to so much as leave the safe boundaries of the city, now look at you. Ready to venture into the depths of the sea at night.
no subject
It's not for a lack of courage. Before I learned about all the concerning future developments in my world, I felt compelled to stay within the safety of the barrier, much as I stayed within the safety of the Walls back home.
[Here, there's actually a promise of unlocking the mysteries of the Darkness - back home, the Survey Corps' effort to uncover the secrets of the titans are foolish and vain. They exist because of their own cursed race, and they're in place around the Walls to keep them confined there.]
It was not least because I wanted to ensure my safe return to my world.
[She has to pass the Founding Titan on... though now, she feels like it'd be for the best if she were the last person to ever hold it, given the impossible task ahead of her.]
no subject
[After all, such things weren't for the faint of heart. How many tales where there of the dangers of the merfolk? Many with a kernel of truth to them. While they may not lure ships to their doom with their song (it's really not their fault if humans curiosity make them do foolish things), but they certainly wouldn't spare any shipwrecked survivors if food was scarce- at least not in their frigid and remote waters.
She'd been taught the dangers, and yet here she was. It was almost a shame she would not be able to live among his kind given how much joy she took from it... granted her lack of survival instinct would give him grey hairs before his time if she were.]
A shame you couldn't return to mine instead. Aside from the lack of light in my homewaters perhaps, I think you'd enjoy it there.
no subject
...
I'd like that. I need more time to think about everything.
[That implied "maybe" is another big change from her initial determination to return home despite her and her family's impending deaths! There are so many things to consider, it's overwhelming. Is it really for the best to withhold the Founding Titan from her world? It certainly seems that way to her right now, and Eren feeling the same encourages her. Yet, she needs to prepare for the possibility of being returned unwillingly. In many ways, her thoughts keep going in circles these days.]
...
Let's get out of the water, shall we? I'll get melancholic if the moon rises above us while we float here.
[Not generally, of course, just right now, when she feels the weight on her shoulders bearing down on her once again. Luckily, she finds it easier to avoid spiralling around Jade than around Historia or Eren, but she can't help her mood swings entirely.]
no subject
I suppose we could do that, or...
[And he yanked her down beneath the water so their faces mere inches apart. It would be so easy to simply lean in and close the distance...
...but that would be far too predictable so instead he leans in to bite her cheek instead. Then very quickly swims away knowing there will be retaliation.
A playful tease. While he was making no effort to mask his flirting he was also... not keen to rush anything. Normally, he was fine with the idea of seeing certain needs met early on and then seeing where things go, if anywhere, from there. With Frieda, though, he found himself slowing down and simply enjoying her company. She was remarkably easy to tease, and full of the strangest surprises, not to mention how much he enjoyed her curiosity and fondness for his home- and above all that she was a comfortable presence. She may lack the ability to read him as well as Floyd or Azul, but that would be an unfair standard to hold her to, he managed to relax and act more himself in her company and that was enough.]
no subject
[For a moment, she stares at him from up close, their lips nearly touching - and then the feral rascal bites her!]
Jade!!
[Now he's done it (snapped her out of her slowly encroaching gloom - mission successful)! Predictably, she chases after his disappearing glow, employing the swimming techniques he taught her to boost her speed at least for the short term, though chances are he's still going to be the faster one.
On her end, it's of course her fate, appearing dismal no matter which path she'll be able to walk, that holds her back from pursuing Jade more actively - not that her feelings would be ambiguous to him, either. If anything, she's only become more starkly aware of how attracted she is to him over time - and that doesn't bode well for her at all, seeing how observant he is! Already, he's teasing her worse than before!]
no subject
...in her merform anyway.
But that was the point, he won this part, but as it was he was still in his natural form on land where he was just oh so useless. All she had to do was come and get little vulnerable and helpless lil' old him.
If the way his tail was coiling and twisting was any clue, he was very eager to be chased. Maybe even scolded.]
no subject
You!! Didn't you say you'd treat me more reverently?
[He didn't really, he just jokingly apologised for not having been on his best behaviour in front of the queen of the Walls. Still, his teeth are sharp, even if any scratch on her heals right away! It's like dealing with an unruly cat!]
no subject
[He laughs as she makes a valiant effort to drag him back into the water, but there was a reason he'd needed the momentum to get onto the rock again. It was always a chore trying to heave his bulk out of the water otherwise. Thus the attempt to pull him back in with her were in vain once he'd made it on the rock.
