• Manny's new theater troupe!
• It's raining mini giraffes.
• See Finnigan, Ember’s new familiar.
• It rained blue paint. Yuck!
• Lucia charmed a whole bunch of suitors during the troupe's first performance.
• It rained candy everywhere. Scryfe got Skittles.
• Lucia got a bunch of suitors who gave her chocolate.

Good Morning, Scryfe! You were rocked by Angel and Devil music less than a week ago, but you stand strong. Imperial relief is still about a week away, and the Imperial Engineering Corps will take even longer to arrive. But we’re not going to wait for them to start building: Winter is coming! We already fixed some of the residential meeting halls, and Asterra and her family are distributing food and blankets to those who need it. Nothing better than a community coming together for the greater good. It’s what I live for.

My job is to maintain morale and keep spirits up with my concerts. My teammates have been a great help, but It’s about time I made my band official. So I start asking around, seeing if some performers from Scryfe want to join up. We’ll stick around the city for a bit and continue a few feel good concerts, then move on throughout the world. Donations should keep us self-sufficient. It took most of the day, but I’m able to find a few bandmates. Ember, Lucia and Asterra can continue to help, of course. Everything is set up except the name of the band. I gotta sleep on that.

This morning I woke up to a weird noise. I look outside and it’s raining giraffes. Like, falling from the sky. But they are tiny giraffes, not much bigger than my hand. They also didn’t go splat, which was weird but less gory, so I’ll take it. After some more community service, and talking to my band about tomorrow’s performance, it was time to head to Asterra’s home for some dinner.

First thing I see: Ember has befriended one of the mini Giraffes. He’s got a shoelace necklace and everything. His name is Finnigan (nicknamed Figgy, I think. Should I suggest Figgy Stardust?) Maggie’s offering to make a collar for him and everything. Wait a sec.. did Ember just get a familiar? That’s really cool. I could waste the night figuring out how she bonded with a tiny giraffe, but I gotta sleep. Tomorrow is the first performance of Manny’s Way Past Cool Crew!

Alright, I’m up. A bowl of soup later and it’s time to clean up the town! I step out the door and notice it snowed overnight. Two things are wrong: it’s too warm for snow, and this “snow” is blue. Although, I did walk through this huge cave full of ice, and it looked blue. Something about the light getting spread out or something. It’s like really thin butter. Oh, and this one time, someone made a room out of snow that was pretty warm inside. I’m getting distracted again.

So anyway, maybe it’s snow. When in doubt, put it in your mouth. Oh, that’s a bad idea. I need some water, fast. No wait, I need an spitoon. Getting queasy over here! The table? No not the table. The kitchen- no I’m shoved out? Bathroom? Occupied aaahhhhhh

After emptying my insides on some furniture (cantrip clean!) and drinking a ton of water, I have a conclusion to make. Do not eat it. Oh, and also it stains your skin, fur, teeth and clothing. It’ll take days to scrub out.

After a whole day of cleaning the house and clearing pathways, it’s time for Manny’s Way Cool Band of Awesome’s second performance. I didn’t get a chance to thank the Cult of Innocence last time, but I do this time! Where is Lucia, anyway? Oh, she’s summoning the eagles. Wait a sec, the spell is going out of control. Oh no! Oh, she’s fine, she just cast a charm spell or something. Whatever, Lucia’s my best friend in the whole wide world and you know what I haven’t given her lately? Her own solo performance! Don’t be shy, Lucia, you’re the star of the show tonight! “Make way for Lunar Lucia and her fancy footwork!” Oh, Lucia. You’ve got some fancy footwork, girl! Break Down!

I’d love to stay for the after show party, but this one lady is covered in blue snow gunk and wants me to guess which part of her isn’t covered in blue. Manny, away!

I wake up to the sound of hail? On better inspection, it isn’t actually hail but some colored gunk falling from the sky. I’m a bit more hesitant, but Blue Girl dives right into the stuff and says it tastes like candy. Hmm. Yeah, it does! Pfft. Man, one time I try to eat stuff from the sky and it’s disgusting. Then when I hesitate, I miss out on the good stuff! Moral of the story: Always Try. Some kids are taking advantage of the situation by grabbing buckets and bed covers to catch the candy.

I finally got back to Asterra’s place, and hey, more candy. I heard other cities got different candies. The Capital is full of Caramel, supposedly. Some places got marshmallow, and one unlucky village is full of licorice.

The next day, I wake up and see a bunch of chocolate boxes this time. Well, what was left of it, anyway. Maggie looks pretty stuffed, did she eat all of the chocolate? At least the boxes they were sent in were quite ornate. This one has a nice rose pattern etched into it. They are dedicated to “The most lovely Lucia”, “Elegantly dancing Lucia”, “Lucia, the Eternal Blue”. Ha! I never knew she was such a playa behind that innocent face. I’d best stay on guard.

During our performance later that night, Lucia seemed to have a bit more stage fright tonight. Weird, her dance moves were pretty cool last time. Oh well, Cousin Shemp said he hated hogging the spotlight, maybe Lucia isn’t in for the fame. Are those the same 5 guys in the front row I saw a few nights ago? They seem more interested in Lucia than the rest of the band. I should make a partnership with her. The meeting of the bands!
