Moon Cycle 38: 10/05 - 10/13
❖ MOON CYCLE 38 ❂ 10/05/10 - 10/13/10
Phase: Half-moon waning; as like in previous waning cycles, the moon slowly starts to disappear over the next few days. Its glow is also dimming, and on some nights, there seems to be a tint of orange around its curves.
Weather: Autumn is fully upon Somarium, and the weather continues to become a bit more brisk as the days grow shorter. The skies are clear throughout the day, but at night the clouds gather. Temperatures range from the low-70s °F with temperatures dropping to high-40s °F to low 50s °F at night. Wear a jacket!
Effects: No real effects during this week.
Notes: Just a few quick side notes for this week:

Notes: Just a few quick side notes for this week:
- Halloween Decorations. Throughout the week, characters may notice the locals putting up decorations for Halloween. There's not much yet, only a few jack-o-lanterns, stuffed scarecrows, etc., but it will increase as the week progresses. Be wary, though. Some of those scarecrows may come to life, or those jack-o-lanterns may give a passing remark to anyone passing by.
- Crime rate. The crime rates from last week are still increasing. However, it seems that the activity is now focusing more during the night and less during the day. The hardest hit is the Industrial District (4th) with the Shopping District (2nd) seeing a slight increase in shoplifting. All other districts and the villages are still relatively safe. Police patrol will be increasing.
- Schools. Just in case anyone was wonder, classes are still running normally. Some may even be talking about possible Halloween events. [note: We will have an upcoming announcement about the schedule for this month's event, so keep that in mind if planning for possible player-run Halloween events]
- Fall fashion is in. Characters will notice all clothing stores will now be providing both autumn and winter clothing. Some of the malls will even be having huge seasonal sales this weekend, so get the latest fashions while they're still in style! Halloween costumes will also be available by the end of the weekend.
It's a pretty lax week this cycle. For players going through midterms, good luck!
