There are a number of events for February and the Valentione's Day that is to come! Since it's been a while for a lot of the members coming into the FC as a whole, and we would like to take this time to thank each and every one of you that has stuck with us. It makes us very happy to see that you've all come into your own and made yourselves at home with all of our members. We are more than heartened to see that many of you have come together to help one another and support one another -- be it through role play or assisting one another through dungeon and raid runs to get past difficulties in the game itself. Thank you, and we hope that we can see more of the same in the days to come! Without further ado, the events we have for February start on the 1st, and will end on the 23rd! There are a number of events to take part in, and they're all absolutely optional! Please don't feel pressured into doing any one of the following events. Starting on February 1st, the Valentione's Screenshot contest will take place all the way till the 23rd! This contest promotes not just love and romance, but healthy friendships as well! While the theme might be an overall of Valenti(o)ne's, you are free to also take screenshots of your character and a friend engaging in fun activities with one another. Due to the nature of this contest, only two characters should be present in a screenshot. You are free to submit up to three different entries with three different people. Keep in mind, only one screenshot will win, and both people that are in that screenshot will get their choice of $30 worth of items from the Mog Station each! The winning pair will be chosen on February 29th! Best of luck to all participants! Some things to note: Make sure both characters are visible! Use lighting tools to help make your screenshots readable, and make sure there are no obstructions! There are no location restrictions! Just be sure to work with your partner(s) and take screenshots that the two of you are happy with! Make sure that you and your partner(s) don't submit roughly the same images just so that we have variety to look over and judge! GShade and Concept Matrix are okay to use to help enhance your screenshots if you have them! Just make sure that you still have your image(s) readable! "Singles" shots will not be accepted this time around! Upload your images to the #events-hall so that we know you are specifically entering the contest! All images will then be uploaded to a Valentione's Screenshot Contest 2020 folder here on the club page! Examples of shots to inspire you!: On February 12th, there will be a small trade event in-game where your character can buy or create small or affordable things for other members of the Free Company! This is meant to be a small and cute RP exchange for anyone that is interested that is not as intensive as the Winter Exchange was at the end of December. Do not feel pressured over what to give other members! Just make sure that it's not completely useless. If you know that it will take up unnecessary space inventory, it will probably be best not to give that item to them! Ideal items to give out are probably going to be more like housing items, glamour items, and even as small as food items that will help during raids or other kinds of dungeon runs! This is not a Secret Santa type event where you should be expecting something you would like to have! Again, this is just a small event, and can even be treated as a canonical event if you so desire! If you would like, and have an artistic side, you can also cast a vote using the emoticon to react to the Discord announcement post letting me know that you would be interested in art trade events in the future so that I can start planning for those as well! From the 12th all the way to the 22nd, we encourage our FC members to role play with members of the FC that they have not really RP'd with in full, or really even have their characters know one another all that well! This event is to help foster IC-relations and create more for your personal canon that you can use down the line. We haven't had the chance to really curate a lot of "canon" stories for the FC as of yet, though there's certainly nothing stopping us from facilitating the meeting of people in a character sense and developing a friendship or even a rivalship between one another! Please use the #character-plothooks channel in the Discord server to pitch your meet-cutes, and do your best to invite only the amount of people you would be comfortable with! I also invite the FC Officers to take this time and chance to role play with the members, and share in that development! 'Valentine's at the Rest' were the words that adorned the flyers that were drawn up and handed out to those that stayed or swung by. Was it a typo? Everyone and their grandparents on Hydaelyn knew that it was 'Valentione's', not 'Valentine's'. Well, missing one letter wasn't that big of an offence -- an easily forgivable mistake more than anything. The Rest itself had some minimal decorations of reds and pinks, but what stood out the most was the scent of chocolate and other sweets that hung thick in the air -- it was like walking into a patisserie at the peak of their production hours. Sunu, the Keeper cook that helped out at the Rest had been hard at work making the table presentable for all that was to come; a large Valentione's cake was the centrepiece of the layout of delicious treats. Not long after Sunu had finished up getting things straightened out and presentable did Primam come out with dessert style sandwiches -- the last thing that would have been added to the table of sweets. However, the two women seemed to look proud of themselves, and that was when Primam thanked Sunu for all her hard work before unlocking the door to the Rest so that anyone interested could swing by for the event. -- On February 23rd, the Rest will be open to all to participate in a small Valentione's RP event. The event will start at 2 PM CST! If you are so inclined, you are also welcome to invite any guests or friends that might not be a part of the FC to partake in our event!

As you know, the holidays are coming up, and what better way to celebrate it than getting together for a night of mirth and gift giving? The Wayfarer's Rest is inviting all of its members to come together and participate in a secret sender gift giving event. We are opening sign ups for our Winter Exchange event on November 17th, and they will remain open till November 30th! When signing up for this event, you are required to send @FreeJayFly a list of three to five items that you can get in-game. These items can vary in needed crafting material or Market Board price, but they must be obtainable and tradeable in some fashion. When writing up your list, we ask that you do what you can to not make all of your items unreasonably priced (i.e. putting all items on the list that cost over a million gil each). You can put one item up that is one of those "god, I would really love to have that, but it's super expensive for me to get" on there, and hope for the best, but remember that item is not guaranteed by the person that will end up being your gifter. On December 1st, all participants will be given a random person and their created wishlist to fulfil by December 31st. While not asked to get everything on the list that is given to you, you do have to get at least one of the requested items. By signing up, you agree that you will have your character participate in this event in some fashion -- the very minimum of participation being that all you do is give your recipient their gift(s) via Moogle Delivery, or trading them directly. Failure to meet the criteria by the end date will unfortunately mean denial into future events similar to this one. On December 31st, we will be having an in-character session starting at 2PM CST at the Rest where characters can exchange their gifts with one another, and comment or converse on it if you simply want to partake in it for fun, further character growth and development, and / or as a means for creating better connections.

It's that time of the year: All Saints' Wake! We with the Wayfarer's Rest have prepared an event that will go from October 14th till October 28th! To participate in this event, just get your character dressed up in a glamour that would constitute as their All Saints' Wake costume for the celebration! There are no restrictions on what you can dress up as, just be sure to tell us what your character is dressed up as so that we can make sure we don't make any mistakes when going over them! You may only enter one time! If you have multiple characters, or costumes that you like, choose one that you like! When you are ready, please post your screenshot to the #events-hall in the Discord server! Officers will be uploading all entries to All Saints' Wake 2019 so that everyone can get a look, perhaps you can also get some inspiration from other entrants! The Officers will go over each and every entry, and two winners will be announced on Halloween Day! These two winners will be able to choose anything of their liking from the Mog Station $30 or under, and they will also receive a half body character drawing from Officer FreeJayFly. On October 26th, we will hold an RP event that centres around the themes of All Saints' Wake, and will be a murder mystery! All that are interested can come to the Rest at 2 PM CST to help solve the mystery that will be in play!
