[center][h2]Pace & Timing[/h2]
Here are the important dates to come:

[b]Dec 2nd: The main thread for this RP goes live.[/b] I'm visiting family for a Thanksgiving, and all my responses here are from my phone. When I get back home Monday, I'll need a few days (between working and everything) to make the RP look clean and impressive. Till then, you can ask questions here and drop rough drafts of character sheets it you want. I will respond whenever I have a moment; I check in frequently.

[b]Dec 5th: Our story will officially begin on the following Monday.[/b] I'm hoping to have a good number of characters ready to go by this time, with everyone having a clear idea of what they want to do / what they can do.

[b]Dec 12th: Time marches on.[/b] The first week ([i]Dec 5-11[/i]) will begin with a sunrise. All posts in that week will take place in the "morning". All posts from Dec 12th to Dec 18th will be in the "evening". Dec 19th to Dec 25th will be the "night". We won't keep track of in-world hours within this RP, only whether it is "morning", "evening", or "night".

[b]Dec 26th to Jan 1st: Down Week.[/b] After three weeks of posts there will always be a down week, where no IC posts are allowed. This should help prevent burnout, in myself and you all. I'll still respond to OOC questions.

[b]Jan 2nd: The next day begins.[/b] The month of January will be the following day, resuming where we left off, with the next morning. Then Jan 30th [i](aka the Monday that kicks off February)[/i] will start the next day.

[b]Feb 20th to March 5th: Double Down Week.[/b] After three consecutive "days" within the RP, we will skip forward in time. This down time should be used wisely, to both recharge your writing batteries and to plan your character's next three day adventure. 

[b]Mar 6th: Let the flowers bloom.[/b] The three consecutive days we cover in December, January, and February will be in the middle of "winter" on the Sutisu and Riotifu continents and reverse ([i]i.e. summer[/i]) for the Mutrenu continent. The three days covered in March, April, and May will be in the middle of "spring/fall" accordingly. We will follow this pattern for the entirety of the year.
