Hello Folkies! This is our monthly
Story of Us post where we get together to make game announcements, ask for any feedback or suggestions, and remind our players of upcoming dates! This update covers
13th March - 12th April.

Trial Consequences & Continuing Effects Over the last month, Folkmore experienced:
- The appearance of lonely bars accessible all over Folkmore, which always have only a handful of people in them at a time. Shades latch onto people in the bar and consume their energy via their negative emotions, which can turn Star Children into Shades themselves. Form connections (including by fighting Shades together) to break free and find the exit to the bar.
- Star Children were also kidnapped into bottles in the bar. Relic conversations start between bottled Star Children with an honest autogenerated message about regrets. Those who agree to talk more are poured out into a drink. Yes, they are tiny! Only talking about regrets will make one get normal sized. Those there at closing time are stored cozily in bottles overnight.
- Drizzly weather, rainbows in water across Folkmore on the 28th, and a mudslide in Exile the first week of March.
These
effects continue:
- Stubborn Star Children may be stuck in the lonely bar for up to another month. This includes getting bottled every night, so that they must text and get poured out tiny to leave the bottle the next day.
- Other Star Children may be stuck as Shades until whoever they latch onto makes emotional progress.
Thirteen's iteration Kuma Lisa continues to lead Folkmore. Star Children can tell by seeing Kuma Lisa at the Lonely Bar or via the continued interlibrary loan system. Her announcement partway through the trial confirms that she's still in the lead.
Star Children may contact Kuma Lisa via at the bar, the library, over the network, or via going to her office hours.
Weather & New Environmental Effects - It is raining. Last month it mostly drizzled, but this month the rain keeps coming. The good news is that around Folkmore, otter spirits pop up stands with yellow umbrellas, yellow galoshes, and yellow raincoats all for a reasonable price.
- Sun spots burst through the rain for 10 - 30 minutes at a time. It looks like a beautiful day until the rain returns. These sun spots last longer in Cruel Summer, where the rain is lighter overall.
- Water pours off the edges of Never Fade, seeming to spring from the ground on the island. It rains down in one area of Exile and Cruel Summer, creating temporary ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers.
- On March 15th, rain that gets caught on plants in Exile turn into knives that then drop to the ground. Take care not to get hurt.
- From March 27th - April 12th, dark gray clouds cover the entirety of Folkmore, blocking out views of the sun, moon, and stars. Whenever anyone invites the waters in, as part of the trial, it rains in the local area equivalent to one city block centered on the home in question for an hour.
