| 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
With the cacti's stealth movement now confirmed yet not observed by them, she grows a little tense.]
Does it have high HP?
[Look at her up-to-date lingo..! It's impossible to introduce a teenager to high technology and not have them discover video games.]
Should I equip my shield? Or would that be overkill?
[As a non-combatant she still needs a little guidance, also because these cacti really don't seem very threatening at all! She starts moving in on where the cactus that moved stood until a moment ago, wanting to confirm if the odd stubby tracks really do belong to it.]
no subject
They're really sturdy. Danger points are the needles... better not touch them if we can help it.
[Perhaps it was obvious, since cacti needles were really sharp, but he felt like he needed to warn her anyway, just in case. Especially since the readings were going off about them. Did someone else with status lenses encounter the cacti before?]
I don't think being careful is an overkill, so do it. And don't get too near the actual cactus.
[The cactus seems to wiggle a little! As if anticipating something...]
no subject
Wow!
[Alright, she can't let this distract her (though it is really distracting)! She needs to pull her weight and back Jean up... which is easier said than done when the only magic she's really "mastered" is her Mermaid Song. But at least she's got that to offer! If he gets hurt, she will heal him.]
If they're so sturdy, burning them would take too long, wouldn't it? Especially with how much water cacti store inside. Will you use your sword? Is it sharp enough to cut through them in one strike?
[There's a part of her that recoils from what she herself is describing - it's violence; she shouldn't engage in it nor encourage it. But these are monsters, she reasons with herself, They could harm innocent people if left alone. But are the people here really innocent and deserving of help?
Frieda closes her eyes for a moment, trying to clear her head. She really can't afford to spiral on a quest where her partner relies on her!]
no subject
Fire's definitely out... but I just sharpened my sword before coming out, so it should be pretty good for cutting.
[The question is, does he cut the cactus first and ask questions later, or do they wait until the cactus starts moving? Probably wiser to just do it now that he had a chance, even if hitting an enemy when it was powerless felt wrong--
Well, apparently the cactus decides it doesn't want to get cut, so it jumps out of the ground, uprooting itself and forming legs and hands and even a "shocked" face. Jean just stares at the cactus, equally shocked.]
What the hell?! It just grew itself a body!
[And now it's tossing needles at them in retaliation. Jean uses telekinesis to direct them away from him and Frieda, just in case.]
no subject
I-- I'll distract it! You strike it!
[With how blinged-out she looks, it shouldn't be too hard to catch the monster's attention and give Jean an opening, right? She dashes away from him sideways, wildly waving her glittering arms.]
Cactus!! Over here!
[She is scared - what if her shield fails; what if these needles can nullify it somehow? -, but at the same time she knows that she can heal from almost anything, and moreover, she certainly won't be able to damage the cactus creature in any meaningful way - not without turning into a titan, in any case. So it's for the best that they distribute the roles this way.]
no subject
Once it's properly distracted, Jean moves to stab it, intending to slice from there, after confirming his sword was sharp enough.
He did hit the cactus, but the moment he did the spikes on its back shot at Jean. Just in time, Jean activates the shield of his safety pin - but a few of the needles did manage to get his arm since it was the closes to the cactus.
Then the cactus runs away from Jean and the sword, in a roundabout way.]
Damn it...! I wasn't fast enough.
no subject
Due to the creature's bizarre anatomy, it can't seem to look at both of them without running a circle as long as they stay on opposite sides of it, but it can and will attack in all directions... this is going to be a tough challenge.]
We can't get so close to it! Do you have magic other than fire?
[She casts a wind attack, mostly just to keep the monster's attention on her at it starts running, probably to turn towards Jean. It causes some superficial cuts in the cactus flesh, and once more she feels torn. Is it alright for me to kill monsters? Even if Jean and she die, they'll simply be reborn, won't they? But they didn't come out here to die. They came to investigate if these cacti are dangerous, and, well, they sure are!]
no subject
I can only do fire or telekinesis... but...
[He puts his sword back into its sheat and instead takes another weapon out of his Hammerspace Purse; a handgun. Luckily, it's loaded with normal bullets instead of magical ones since they would also be fire based.
Then he starts shooting at the cactus. The cactus shoots back, at both of them, but luckily at least Jean's shield is holding through the assault.]
no subject
It's not falling! How are we supposed to defeat it?!
[There were no instructions in the quest! If other people left accounts of their own encounters online, Frieda didn't see them. If I turned into a titan, I could easily crush it..! But doing that in front of Jean is out of the question, and she can hardly just ask to close his eyes for a moment in this situation! She's getting frustrated with herself. She has all this power, and after everything she learned about her homeworld's future, she could actually use it, and yet..!]
Using your telekinesis, can you push it on its face and hold it on the ground? It has a finite amount of needles, right? Maybe it'll fire them all away, and then you can move in and finish it!
no subject
The lenses weren't being very helpful, but hopefully if they manage to defeat it, others will have less problems.]
It's worth a try.
[Jean focuses his magic on telekinesis aiming it at the cactus. It's surprisingly light, he notes, but it does give some resistance going down. Still, Jean was always a stubborn one. His safety pin luckily holds against the torrent of needless coming at him.]
no subject
With her blindingly glittery shield still protecting her from any stray needles, she swiftly approaches the creature. It's a plant, but maybe it still needs its head to live. If I damage it..! She feels torn and stressed as she picks up a few fallen needles. The thought of killing the monster with her own hands outright upsets her stomach - but would she judge Jean, who's trying to do the same? Hardly. Then again, Jean isn't from a race of sinners! (
Actually...)If we let it live, it'll probably kill innocent people, she reminds herself yet again, and before she can spiral into ruminations over who deserves mercy and who deserves hardship, she jabs one of the knitting-needle-sized spikes into the back of the cactus' head.
It keeps wiggling - and shooting more needles, many of which hammer against her shield from virtually no distance, now that it can tell where she is.]
..!
[Panicking, she grabs on to a couple of needles still unfired, trying to break them off to rob the monster of ammunition, but they're too sturdy for that. All she manages is to wrest them out of the cactus flesh - and suddenly, the creature's movement stills. She promptly mimics the motion freeze. What now..? Is this some kind of trick, or the calm before a big attack?]
no subject
Get further away from it. Maybe once you're safe, I can let it go and we'll see if it really stopped moving for some reason.
no subject
[She hastily moves away from the still creature, but it doesn't move again.]
All I did was pull a couple of needles out! Nothing else came out with them, so I don't understand...
[Did she really kill it that way? Maybe she should feel happy, but she just feels vaguely upset.]
no subject
[It seems weird, but at least neither of them are in danger anymore. He lets the Safety Pin drop the defense shield.]
Should we ... bury it or something?
no subject
I think it'd be too risky. We'd leave ourselves open to attack.
[After all, there are more cacti scattered around the area - not to mention potential other creatures whose attention might be drawn to their activities.]
...
Should we take on more of them? If we can pull some needles from their head before they start moving, it might save us the struggle of fighting them.
[She sounds hesitant, though. It's a gamble whether any cactus monster will let them get that close before "coming to life" and attacking, and besides who knows if pulling the needles out of this one is really what killed it? She sees no other explanation, though.]
Perhaps I could try that. Thanks to my season, I can step really lightly.
no subject
Your potion should still protect you if something goes wrong... but it's worth a try, I think. I'll be here to pull you out of the range if needed - with telekinesis I mean.
1/2
Right. You keep an eye out for any other threats.
[She takes her boots and socks off to improve her stealth and approaches the nearest similar-looking cactus, walking on her toes and seemingly barely touching the ground. Part of her wonders if this is actually a monster... how silly would it look if she took such caution just to pluck a regular cactus' needles? But regular cacti, she reminds herself, don't often grow in such a mild climate.
Once she's made it to the plant, she carefully reaches up, takes a needle between her fingers, and--]
2/2
Iiieee!!
[She was so quiet and careful!! Reminding herself that she can't actually be harmed with her sparkly protection, she tries to approach the monster, but it promptly starts the routine of running in a circle around her and... Jean, where is Jean?]
no subject
Which is why he gets some needles stuck in his arm, which he used to shield himself with on instinct.]
Ghhg...
[That hurts. Yet he uses his telekinesis powers to actually stop the cacti and lift it up in the air - before dropping it on its head onto the hole it popped up from.]
I don't think I can hold it very long this time, so hurry.
no subject
[Disregarding his injury for the moment (which isn't easy; he's clearly in pain!), she focuses on the monster. Despite the ridiculous position it's in, she can't take this lightly! She grabs two of the big needles and pulls them out of the green plant flesh - and as before, the cactus immediately stills.
It's an absolutely baffling phenomenon, but they can document and puzzle over that in a few moments - first, she needs to make sure if Jean can heal himself again of if he needs her to sing her Mermaid Song.
no subject
Troublesome creatures.
no subject
[Just as she hurries over to him to inspect his injury, the remaining cacti in the vicinity - around a half-dozen - suddenly jump out of the ground all at once, again mirroring Frieda and (presumably) Jean's shocked faces.]
Oh, no--!
[But rather than attacking, they... take off. Their running speed is frankly remarkable.]
Are they fleeing?
[Part of her wants to suggest they chase after them, but... honestly, she's exhausted from what they just went through, and she can imagine that Jean feels the same. What's more, they figured out how to defeat them - that's valuable information to bring back home and disseminate among the other questers!]
no subject
... we got two of them, at least. Let's take the needles we did get out so they can be examined and then head back.
no subject
Should we take any other evidence? Do you want to take a video of me demonstrating how we defeated them? If we share that on the network, it'd help others, wouldn't it?
[Part of her feels sincerely elated at the success, but another part feels weirdly detached. She just killed two creatures - plants, yes, but certainly no ordinary ones. Did they feel pain when they died? She'll have to wrangle these feelings later.]
no subject
[For other people who use them and the guild can probably get data from them, too.]
