Melon Event
And now, for an event of sheer epicness.
(This part mostly IC gossip, except for the italic links, obviously. =3)
Melons have long been associated with summer. Between being refreshingly watery and fun to use as impromptu cannonballs, they're a natural choice to keep around for summer recreation... whatever the end result.
It has been discovered by stray hikers that there are several melon fields in the forests of Memento Eden. Although the farmers claim they have never cultivated melons of this sort before, they nonetheless remain, in neat little rows, as if the product of loving labor.
There are two to the forest north, one almost at the edge of the forest, near the mountain ridge ( maintained by Yuri). The other is closer to the town, deep in the thicket, surrounded by curious wildlife ( maintained by Chris).
One patch ( maintained by Ari) lies in a nice clearing to the west of town. It seems to enjoy the sunlight. Another is west, but far further, staying near a lake near the island's edge ( maintained by Ammie).
The last patch, of course, is in the southern forest, in an area so dark that it seems almost impossible for it to have grown ( maintained by Foxfire). Indeed, there is no underbrush around it, and tall, full trees block out the sun.
Upon visiting, you will find twenty melons in each patch. There seem to be four species -- red, blue, green, and one oddly separate from the rest. These melons look very healthy and look rather tasty, but seem impossible to break. Of course, that has only spurred on the curious villagers, who believe something interesting may happen if they are broken.
(OOC)
This event begins now (July 9, 2008 12:00 AM) and will last indefinitely until all melons are broken. As you may expect, the method for breaking them are all varied, strange, and sometimes picky.
All actions done on the melon logs are IC unless noted otherwise. The numbers are OOC, so you can just say "I'm sick of these," Soren complained, sitting on red melon 1. instead of saying "I'm sick of these," Soren complained, sitting on the red melon on the northernmost end of the field. It is definitely in your best interest to explicitly name the melon you're performing the action on, as most of the solutions require involving that certain melon. (And watching someone perform the same humiliating act twenty times never gets old.) [Edit: We decided to change that system around a bit, but it's still best to target a melon, so we can keep track of who has what melon and which isn't there in the field to play with anymore.]
Ah yes, and... due to the large amount of action, log format.
... Of course, no one's stopping you from taking the melons places or chucking them at your roommate's head, though they seem to teleport back to the fields after being left alone for five minutes. Have fun with the melons, whether you intend to break them or not. Who knows... you just might do so unintentionally.
Oh yes, and... once you get past the skin, they're edible. I guess. If splattered melon's your thing.
