Candy Obstacle Saga	Oh no! Someone dropped all of our experimental candies all over the mall. Now some places are blocked off because of them. We designed them to make one of the mobile games into an actual, rewarding mini game, but now they're just obstacles. Fortunately, it seems they work just like the game would, like we hoped. Please help us clear the candies - and feel free to eat any you collect.	Trying to jump or fly over them will result in being pushed back. Trying to destroy them with weapons or magic will reflect the attack back to the person. It seems the only way to proceed is physically moving the candies so they make a three line - so team up with someone. Every cleared candy will give the players regular-sized, edible candy. Making a line of three candies will make them disappear. Getting four on row makes a striped candy that will clear a whole row (best not stand right on the row you might get knocked back). Making an L-shaped formation will make a wrapped, explosive candy that destroys the surrounding candies twice (again, best not to be too close to the explosion). Five in a row makes an extra special sprinkled candy that will clear every candy of certain color. Unpredictably, the candies will keep reappearing for a while when destroyed. It seems clearing a certain number of one color will clear them all, eventually! What color it is is usually indicated by the color on the wall.	Candy, 1000 Moon Coins per game
Prepare for Trouble and Make it Double	Happy Halloween-time of the year! Our store (the Party Hardy) is organizing a fashion show of halloween costumes, with a twist! We want this to be done in pairs! We either give you a theme or a prop and you coordinate a matching outfit together. You can also do it with more people, but not alone. Those who want a challenge and win extra can do this by completely cutting communications with your partner. In other words working in different rooms and then seeing what kind of costumes you come up with from the same theme. The closer they are to matching, the better the prize. Once the costumes are done, you do a little walk on the catwalk together. After that you can keep your costumes for the festivities ahead.	Go wild with costume ideas, but please keep them all SFW. There are all sorts of clothing, accessories and other props in the dressing rooms. Some of them even have magical effects like fake fire or levitating weapons, depending on what you're going for. The judges are very lax, so the costumes don't need to be exactly matching - but the closer they are the better, of course. Those who manage to coordinate a costume without knowing what the other is doing will be praised and told they must be soulmates, whether it's platonically or romantically.	Anywhere between 500-2000 Moon Coins, A free costume
Sleepovers in SEAKEA	For the next two months, SEAKEA is offering a chance to sleep at our store. You can come here for a night or for several, use any of the rooms like they're yours and just enjoy. The restaurants are open all night if you're craving for food. There are also places to set up small parties or play games like hide and seek. There is also the SEAKEA Maze you may attempt, made with our furniture. Those who go through the maze will get a special goods bags. We're doing this to promote our wares and possibly improve on them. So any opinions can be left on opinion boards provided for everyone.	Unbeknownst to the SEAKEA staff, some of the more mischievous ghosts have infiltrated some of these sleepovers. They may start scaring people (rattling chains, making eerie 'ooOooOoooo' sounds etc) and moving furniture and other items around. They're even making the SEAKEA maze even harder. The special goods bags include various small, but useful items that can be found from homes. Some of them may be goofy in design, but still work as intended.	100 Moon Coins per night spent, free food, one free furniture, goodie bag (maze bonus)

I Always Feel Like Someone is Watching Me CW/TW: stalking, jumpscares, being chased	There's something moving in the forest just north to the Unnamed Mountain. I don't know what it is, but it feels dangerous. Like you're constantly being watched. It's making people really uncomfortable. Maybe it should be investigated?	Anyone who enters the forest to investigate will feel the eyes on them even more intensely. After traveling in the forest for a while it gets increasingly uncomfortable. Those who actually manage to continue and don't flee will soon find what can only be described as the Slenderman. A creepy black figure with tendril like arms who will appear like a jumpscare and start chasing people. It never actually attacks - nor do attacks harms it. Upon escaping the forest after meeting the Slenderman, something drops into their pockets. A ring that has the description of "Use this when you want to see the invisible". The ring will allow a person to see silhouettes of things they would normally not see (ghosts/spirits included) but not their proper form - nor can they interact with them.	3000 Moon Coins, a ring
Is Bone Juice That Delicious? CW/TW: gore, bone sucking, death	Natives are finally able to visit the Winter Segment and couldn't be happier! However some of them seem adamant to go outside the marked paths. Bodies of the natives have started to turn up because of that. They're all in the same condition: all of their bones in their body have been sucked out. Everything else is completely intact. It must be that one enemy again, back for revenge.	The monsters behind the case are called Warlock Skeletons. The suck bones out of living things with their dark magic to make skeletons that move and do their bidding. They can be killed as long as the powerful jewel on their neck is destroyed. However, they have placed a barrier around the jewel that stops anyone from grabbing it with methods like telekinesis. The barrier can be destroyed by destroying another, hidden jewel.	5000 Moon Coins
Snowball's Chance	A species of sentient snowballs have appear in the Winter Segment. They're very adorable with their little faces, hands and feet - but they are very, very angry. They have knives (where did they get those?) and they attempt to stab people and their horses - only getting their ankles. Which isn't too dangerous, but it's very annoying and hurts. People have tried to stomp them, but they just reform and are even angrier. I saw one of them calm down after it got a scarf from someone and wrapped it around itself. Maybe that's a clue?	The Snow Ballers are jealous of people who have warm clothes on their person. They also want that fluffy and nice feeling! It's very cold, being a sentient snowball. Helping them get what they want will calm them and stop them from attacking. Destroying them will only make them reform themselves and become angrier. Even melting them into a puddle doesn't help.	1000 Moon Coins

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Don't Eat Your Veggies CW/TW: eaten alive	Giant mutant vegetables have appeared all around the Spring Segment. Theory is that they're angry about vegetables being eaten... so they're trying to eat people and animals that eat them. Scorching, cutting and smashing them should do it. They're all very similar to the vegetables they originally were, but they have giant mouths with sharp teeth and mean eyes. Some of them even pop out of the ground without a warning.	The giant vegetables are all sorts of vegetables you can find. Most common are the carrots and the cucumbers, less likely to attack are broccoli and cauliflower. They don't have any special attacks - they will just try to eat anything they find offensive.	4000 Moon Coins
Rabbits Need Scritches Again	A migrating group of Giant Rabbits has recently arrived back to the Spring Segment and now they're shedding off their winter fur. The problem is they're really, really itchy. I feel bad for them. Could someone go scritch their fur to help them? Even comb their fur so the winter fur falls easier? You can use the fur in so many different clothes once its off, too! It's so fluffy and nice.	Giant Rabbits are Moose-sized rabbits that change segments every half a year. During the two month period a lot of them will be crossing over and needing some help with their furs. As a reward you will gain a friend for life who you can come visit anytime when you need some rabbit therapy. Thanks to last time going so well, the rabbits have gained courage to bring their little ones along. Baby rabbits are the size of deer and don't need as much scritches - but they will demand that they be played with. If the rabbit mothers see that they're a good match, they will let you adopt their babies.	1000 Moon Coins
❗High Risk Quest❗ Attack on Kingdom CW/TW: nightmare facing, poison, gore	We reclaimed the Fairy Kingdom, but it still needs time to recover its magics. As it is, it's still vulnerable for more attacks. The fairies can't counter all of the attacks. The corrupted fae are out for revenge and they've brought their giant familiars with them. They themselves are the size of small human children who control the beasts and set things on poisonous fire. The familiars are giant Faemoose. They're completely black creatures with glowing eyes. Not only do they have the power to stomp things to the ground and stab someone with their antlers, but they also have control over shadows and dreams. If one of their shadowy tendrils touches someone they will be trapped inside a shadow orb, forced to face their worst nightmares in their mind. Killing the faemoose will break the shadow.	Poisonous Fire is a special brand of fae fire that releases smoke that's poisonous to breathe. The smoke remains behind even if the fire is put out/made harmless. Faemoose, meanwhile, are very weak to pure light magic, lightning and their own magic turned against them.	40 000 Moon Coins

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Mummystreet's Back Alright CW/TW: mummies, skeletons, mind control	Areas near the Deserter's Desert have recently seen an increased amount of Mummies. They have certainly appeared from out of nowhere (or from sand, actually). They're a menace, but not in a fatal way. Instead they're trying to wrap bandages around people to turn them into them. The bandages do have a 1/50 chance to actually make someone completely act like a mummy (walking in a trance, wrapping bandages around people) that can be canceled by taking the bandages off. They should be dealt with as soon as possible.	The mummies are otherwise mostly harmless, but the Research Center would appreciate if someone captured a few of them so they could study them! Actual mummies have skeletons underneath all the bandages but nothing else. If they're stripped of their bandages they will comically cover their genital area and run away.	2000 Moon Coins
Pirates of the Great Lake: The Comeback	Mysterious ships have made an appearance on the Great Ocean Lake: ghost ships and pirate octopi ships. They're disturbing all life on the lake, throwing explosive and other things into it. The Research Center has provided ships that can be taken to the waters and some pirate outfits to fit the theme (optional). Destroy the enemy ships and restore peace to the lake!	Ghost Ships are ships that don't seem to have any members onboard (or they can only be seen by the Winter holders). Pirate Octopi are octopi with eyepatches (and some even have mechanical tentacles in place of normal ones). The ships rarely fight each other but they don't consider each other allies either.	3000 Moon Coins
Took the Wrong Turn	I never thought I'd say this, but I saw Polar Bears in the Summer Segment. What are they doing all the way in the Summer Segment? Poor guys must be feeling hot. They need to be returned home to the Winter Segment as soon as possible. Please help the poor bear.	The Polar Bears were unfortunate victims of Teleport Fairy pranks. They are now lost and confused and need cooling down - and help getting back home. Getting them to the Southern Cold Sea in the Autumn Segment helps with most of the way, as they can swim north to their natural habitats.	3000 Moon Coins

Autumn Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
All Hail the Pumpkin King	A species of sentient scarecrows with pumpkins for their heads have been doing a series of trials to compete who is the strongest and best fit for being the Pumpkin King. Unfortunately these trials often include stealing, scaring and fighting with anyone who comes even close to the Segment. Please put an end to their trials. Their special ability is controlling regular crows, so be careful of getting pecked.	When someone defeats enough Pumpkin Scarecrows in a group, the survivors will bring a crown made of wheat and fallen leaves and try to put it on the victor's head - this crown is in no way magical. They will crown even someone who isn't a scarecrow. There can be multiple pumpkin kings. They're not exactly well organized. Those who have been previously "crowned" as Pumpkin Royals will be challenged to multiple rematches.	1000 Moon Coins
I Said Leaf Me Alone	Majority of the autumn leaves have turned magical and have started to cause people to fall into a state of sleep whenever they hit someone. Luckily, most people have fallen asleep on the safe zones, but there are those who did not. Be careful not to get hit by the leaves and try to get rid of them instead, all while saving the people sleeping in wrong places. As long as a leaf remains on someone they will either sleep or feel very drowsy and the more leaves they have on them the more potent the effect is.	The effect is less effective through clothes, but will still make one feel sleepy/yawn a lot. With enough layers of clothes the characters will be able to collect the leaves for extra potent sleeping potions. However it's not recommended to eat the leaves as they are, as it might lead to a comatose state instead. A strange new effect is that people get very angry when someone tries to stop them from sleeping. They might even smack someone.	2000 Moon Coins
❗High Risk Quest❗ The Blue Flames CW/TW: burns, death danger	We all know Angler Will-o'-the-Wisps are really, really dangerous. They don't seem so bad compared to this other type of Will-o'-the-Wisp that has been discovered. Dubbed as the 'Flame of the End', they are giant (4 metres/13.12 feet) humanoid creatures made out of blue flames. Fire magic doesn't affect them, water doesn't extinguish them. They attempt to burn everything to the ground, friend or foe. Those who've managed to escape them are still in pain because if the flames touch someone, the pain remains with them forever until the creature who did it is killed.	The Flames of the End can be defeated by closing them into a confined space. Between rocks, into a box, buried underground. As long as it can't escape through the cracks, you'll win. It can be cut into smaller pieces and dealt with piece by piece.	50 000 Moon Coins

Color of Your Underwear	Hey all! We're looking for models for our new underwear line, made to fit all genders, sizes, ages and races! There are several designs, colors and all types are customisable for anyone. Some of them also have some magical properties, but all of them are labeled as such. Head over to the Underground Mall and the 'United in Sexy Underwear' store to participate! You also get free underwear of your choice.	Magical properties include: changing color depending on mood, making certain body parts look more naturally enchanting, sparkles for modeling, literal fireworks when someone gets horny (feel free to come up with other mostly harmless and potentially embarrassing ones). Most of the underwear IS labeled, but some have been mixed up so the effects may be a surprise. The pictures will be displayed on billboards in the Underground Mall as well as their city on the Internet, but everyone is expected to sign a contract saying it's fine. Of course someone can just miss the fine print.	10,000 Moon Coins, free underwear (magic effect or not)
Love for Pole Dancing	Our group, The Magical Pole Dancers, is hosting FREE lessons in magical pole dancing. We will go through the basics at first and then make our way to more advanced and magical pole dancing skills. You will also get a free magical pole you can just set up at home and then store it in a magical pouch when you don't use it. What does the magical part mean? Well, we also work as strippers so some of the magic is meant to arouse our audience and make them only look at us, but there are also skills that just boost others' mood, bring someone into a more relaxed space of mind. Some spells are also just for yourself to relax after a hard day. You can even make yourself feel like you're dancing in the air while being completely safe on the pole.	Due to the nature of some of the spells, the places for the lessons have private rooms for people who get too affected by the magic. Lessons usually have 2-5 students at a time with 2 different NPC teachers.	Free Lessons, Magical Pole & Pouch for it, Pole Dancing Spells

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Emotional Crimes CW/TW: power sapping, capture	I have an experimental device that will help capture anyone into a cage made with emotion magic. I want people to test it on others, preferably otherworlders since they have all sorts of powers. The cage is made to nullify powers (both their native ones and their power holder ones) when it surrounds someone. Only way to break out of it is by countering the emotion with a stronger one or the person who made the cage cancels it. Whatever you decide to do with the person you capture is none of my business and I take no responsibility for it. Just leave a review on the app on how it works to earn your prize the next day.	The cages are made with magical energy and emotion magic. Strongest of all emotions is 'Love' and it will break any cage even before it properly forms around someone. After that comes 'Hate', which is next to impossible to break unless countered by Love. Otherwise, emotions work opposites. Someone traps you with Sadness as the core emotion? Counter it with Happiness. Only negative emotions can be made to make the cages; only positive ones can break them. Neutral ones are either or. The device breaks after three uses and becomes useless. It can be recreated if someone is technology savvy enough. Please remember to ask permission for anything and discuss how the situations go. Consent is important OOCly.	10,000 Moon Coins
One Rule: Don't Look CW/TW: cursed things, body parts, death-danger	I have a lot of packages to deliver. My only rule is that you don't open them. You must deliver them to the set locations and leave them with the directions given. If you end up opening them, I'm not responsible and you don't get paid. The client will know if it was opened and inform me right away. Oh, and giving the package willingly to cops? Gets you straight on my shit list.	The packages are picked up from and delivered to different places inside Nightwake. The person is actually rooting for someone to open the packages along the way, but they will also be pleased if the packages reach the recipients. Inside you may find: A smoke bomb curse that will get released the moment the package is opened (turns anyone who breathes in the smoke into a stone statue, slowly and painfully - cured by a kiss), a ravenous demonic creature (of your own design!) that will go on a murder rampage, an electric shock meant to cause a district-wide blackout, a body part or something other cursed that you come up with.	20,000 Moon Coins

"Fair enough. Not getting involved too deep is the safer path. Cole will feel a lot better that way too," Max said with a nod.

"The implications are you help Cole and his friends, you stick it to the person who wanted to erase Cole from existence, and you save Cole and his friends again at a time they need help the most. Not much more than that, honestly. I'm not using you to change the very fabric of reality. Did that already with Esme and his band."

Macaque rubs his forehead above his blind eye.

"I'm not supposed to be helping Cole at all. I said that I wanted the deal superceded with one where I don't help Cole." He doesn't sound angry or even irritable, just weary.

Max is quick to respond.

"Directly, you aren't. But you didn't change what you wanted out of the deal. You asked that I make sure Cole survives and is safe. That's what we're doing. I was talking about the implications of your deeds, not the direct effect."

"When you steal the shadow, it doesn't directly affect Cole in any real way. You're getting revenge on a being who has caused a lot of suffering and strife for a lot of people, me included. When you free K11, the boy, you are directly helping him and freeing him before he is forced to free himself. For the final part, I am using your powers to save Cole and his friends, as you requested. You do nothing but merge with me and wall off your mind, your emotions, and your senses."

Max side steps a flying Faemoose head so it lands beside him.

"Our deal lives up to the terms. So long as Cole doesn't find out you are in our world at all, then he won't worry. And the effects of our actions together will help show Cole that even if bad things happen to him and those around him, it works out in the end. We will free him from an enemy he dreads, and together, we can hopefully uplift his worldview from believing anyone he knows and who helps him will suffer terribly and nothing more. Which is exactly what you wanted out of it all. See?"

"When I brought this to you, I said I wanted a deal changed to where I didn't help Cole. Those were my words. I know because I chose them carefully beforehand." He's once again not upset, but doesn't quite grasp how those words led to this.

"This means that I lied to him. I never wanted to lie to him."

"And I altered the deal so you don't help or assist him directly. But I still help make him safe as possible. Technically, you didn't lie. You're not helping Cole. You're helping me, K11, and ruining someone's life. You made this deal originally with the benefit to you that Cole be kept safe. I can't keep him safe directly. You don't want to keep him safe directly and he doesn't want you to keep him safe directly. So I aimed your efforts else to utilize the ripple effect."

"If you want Cole not affected in any way but this deal by you and your actions, do you still want the same reward in keeping Cole safer? Or do you want something new from the deal?"

"I don't want to change it again." Macaque sighs, directed at himself. "I do like the idea of helping him, or I wouldn't have made the first deal at all. You're not wrong about that."

"I'll just... have to be more careful with my words around him. Hopefully knowing that it's confidential means he won't ask me about it."

"If he does, reiterate the truth with more specifics. You aren't help him. You're helping me do some things. That's honestly the most basic version of our deal. Gives no new information. Only confirms what he wants to know. Nothing more, nothing less. Because you aren't helping him directly and if we do this right, he will never know you were in our world."

Macaque nods numbly. He'll have to think on it. Maybe "it's confidential" is the line he'll stick with.

"Can I tell you something without you thinking that I want to change the deal again? Because I really, really don't." Let's see how far this trust thing goes.

"Of course you can," Max said with a nod. "I'm taking you at your word you don't want to change it again so say whatever you like or need to."

Okay, then.

"Making that first deal with you was pure desperation. It was shock and my feelings being recently rearranged and learning that he'd died and it wasn't the first time and thinking I only had one chance since you weren't really part of this world. Finding out that it bothered him so took a long time to come to terms with, because what was supposed to make him safer only made him more afraid. I'd failed him."

"And by revising that deal, I was supposed to at least set one thing right. Maybe I'd be in danger, but I didn't care about that. He'd feel better, that's what mattered. But I didn't fix that first failure, I just tweaked it. And I didn't even realize I was doing it."

"I'm tired of failing the people I love. That's all."

Max smiles softly when Macaque finishes.

"I understand. Trust me, I understand very well. You don't want to fail Cole. But Cole seems less stressed to me. So you did succeed on that. How about this? I can add another clause. Not a change. No altering the deal or your chores. Just adding in a security blanket for you. When you are in our world, Cole cannot perceive you in any way, shape, and form? I can do that. Make you a ghost. Technically you could even tell him you won't be in our world. You can be in the Twilight instead. And you can still accomplish everything we need to do."

Macaque thinks for a long moment. If it would enable him to say that he won't be in Cole's world and have it be the truth, maybe it's worth it.

He said that he didn't want to revise the deal, so Max didn't have to offer anything. He's trying to do Macaque a kindness. However fledgling his trust of Max, he doesn't think it would be wise to turn it down.

Still, this time he's got to ask more questions rather than making assumptions.

"What is the Twilight?"

Max was trying to give Macaque a show of kindness. A way to make him honest completely in everything he told Macaque.

"The Twilight is the world of the dead back home. Well, partially. The world of the dead is complicated and layered. The Twilight is the top layer. It is where buildings, souls, anything that has passed on exists as an echo of their former selves. You'll see decades and centuries of time all mixed together in there. There are ghosts too and most of them are harmless. Wondering souls lost in their routines as they don't fully realize they're dead. It's mostly harmless and you're capable enough I know you'll be fine."

So, shades. It's stupidly fitting.

"And there's no possible way that he or anyone connected to him could find out I was there?" He is close to agreeing, and that's quite obvious. He just wants to make sure he knows what he's agreeing to this time.

"No chance at all. None of them deal with ghosts. Spirits exist in the Shadow. Cole won't be able to phase into it anymore with his changes, Xeo can't see it, you'd be all good. Like you're backstage in the world and you never set foot on stage."

Macaque studies Max for a long moment, clearly thinking hard about it.

"All right," he says. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Macaque," Max said with a smile and his voice soft and genuine.

"Thank you for telling me so I could make it right by you."

"Yes, well. I'm trying to be more honest, even if it doesn't always work."

"Being honest is hard," Max said with a nod. "Like you said, you don't like letting down walls, opening up. Being honest is opening up. Kind of a counter intuitive goal to how you are. For what it's worth, I think you're doing alright. Especially with someone you don't trust very much. Maybe you don't give yourself enough credit."

"It's very new to me in general. Even with people I was close to for a long time before, we never really talked. Or I guess just one person. Other than him, I basically had to spend my life on defense." So, you know, don't take it personally. He's new to trust overall.

He groans a bit at maybe you don't give yourself enough credit. "Don't you start too."

Max chuckles as he slices off a faemoose head and throws it at the rider, knocking him off his now headless mount.

"I mean, clearly others have said it. It is true, you know. We are our own worst critics."

"By don't you start too I meant I don't want to talk about it. Sorry if that was unclear." He doesn't sound pissed, but he does sound sure.

"You got it," Max said with a shit eating grin. The violence seemed to be dying down around them as the forces were thinned out and the remainder were retreating.

"Sooo. You wanna go grab a bite?"

Macaque sighs at having given Max ammunition, but at least he shut up.

"Where did you have in mind? I don't eat much meat, if that matters."

"Dietary restrictions always matter. I found a nice vegan place recently. We can go there. No need to worry about any meat there," Max said with a nod and a smile. Sure, he had ammo. Teasing ammo. The best kind. Get menaced, Macaque.
