In a journal conversation, Huo, Stellaris and Hawk came up with a plan to go explore the unnamed island a.k.a Frost Mountain. When they do, what would they find there, if any?
If the group advances to the door of the lighthouse, they will find that a thick sheet of ice has crystallized over the doors. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but the ice is currently impenetrable and any attempts to chip away or melt it will not be successful.
Should they venture to the caves they will find seven openings in the side of the mountain, all irregular and ranging from small enough to only accommodate a child to twice the height of a grown man (if still narrow). Once they enter the cave, our intrepid explorers will find that they can no longer find the entrance they came through. The only way is forward. After venturing for a while they may think that they start to... hear things. It starts faint as a whispering wind then becomes discernible as voices. It's hard to tell what the voices are saying, and each person will hear a different one. But one thing is for sure, the voice each person hears is familiar and among the indeterminable murmurs and snatches of words they can't quite make out, the

Aim will find a brown and tan stuffed teddy bear sitting on his bed one evening, with a pink ribbon and memory crystal tied to its neck. The senses are sight/touch. When he comes to, he'll find that his bedroom, nay, his whole home, is filled with stuffed toys. Good luck wading through them to get out of your place!
The majority of the stuffed toys will vanish after a week, but he might notice that a few have stuck around (which ones are up to you).

While Smoke is blind I'd like for him to do two things. One is figure out just how much he can control his chain beyond normal physics, i.e. he can't see so he can't gauge distance, but he can at least avoid hitting himself for now. Still can't hit for beans while blind, but a taste for the 'impossible' things he can do with his chain if he actually puts his mind to it.
The other thing is that between being blind and his memory (wherein a whole lot of powerful auras were flying around), I'd like him to work on sensing those auras beyond what I've been giving him (which is like a 3' radius and only in battle when he's concentrating). I'd like for him to ask Kagerou about it specifically, since he saw her talking about it to Koi when he became Old Man Yama. He thinks it's a form of sight (not quite accurate, I realize) and thus a way to help counteract the blindness in some small way. When the blindness goes away, I'd still like for him to continue down this path of trying to get better at it - very slowly - since it would also be very

Welcome to UNCANNY VALLEY
Population: 99 mannequins, all dressed in the same two outfits. They're more realistic than usual, with analogues to skin, facial expressions, and speech - though not much of the last. As Well As: twenty-foot-tall steampunk stilt-spiders that move as if animated by stop motion; grass that screams when cut or mowed; shadows that move (and, in the case of the people, express emotion) independently of the objects that cast them; a tall man in a black cloak and hat who is only ever seen at a distance; and one Creepy Doll (porcelain, female, brunette) found in the village's one empty house.
Nothing, from facial expressions to the horizon line, looks right - or sounds, feels, smells, tastes quite right.

For Peachblossom. I'd like to start calling her Mindelan - not just yet, since I've only just given Juhani her name back, but in the forseeable future.
There are two memories that would work well here. Both need sound; one would work better with sight too, the other would be best with touch.

Upon returning home one day, Peachblossom will find her home has been tangled with strings! Strings and yarn are looped around all of the fixtures, running from one end of her home to the other, and all tangled together. Successfully navigating the strings will lead her to a memory crystal at the end of one of the balls of yarn. The senses are Sound/Sight.
After the memory has finished, she will find that all of her socks have been switched out for pink striped toe-socks. After a week, her normal socks will return.
