[It was 4:30AM, that ungodly hour before the crack of dawn -- when anyone with any sense would be burrowed under their blankets, safe from the cold, harsh reality of the outside world.]

Good moooooorning, gentlemen! And especially ladies ♥

Back by popular request, it's your favorite morning power tune! "The Black Handkerchief of Happiness!" Sing along!

[What followed was a skilled (but nonetheless LOUD) violin ditty. It was accompanied by Brook singing along with the screeching, pounding melody line, seemingly as obnoxiously as possible. One could try to sleep through it, of course... if it ever ended.

♪ Oh, White Handkerchief
Don't let him find you!
Run awaaaay! ♪

[Whenever the Ringmaster speaks on the network, as veterans will already know, each radio's screen will light up extra bright as if trying to convey its importance to you. She will start speaking in the late afternoon of the third day of the season.]

This is the Ringmaster! Hello to all of our new workers - I trust you enjoyed yourself the other night. I know I did.

[Which is odd to say, since she ostensibly had not shown up at the party all night.]

More important than all that, though, is I have a task for you. Well... for someone, at any rate. Hopefully multiple someones. That is to say... do any of you know how to make Dreamcatchers?

A reliable source has informed me that they will become necessary in the particularly near future. I could have gotten them elsewhere, but... well, I didn't. And I don't trust extradimensional charms at the best of times. Anyway, I think I need about one hundred of them. I will provide the supplies and you need only provide your diligent hands.

Make no mistake, your efforts will not be in vain! For every five dreamcatchers you make for me, I'll ensure you are rewarded... and I will not accept crap, either. Quality is important here - in fact, your lives may depend on it.

[She laughs. That was funny.]

Please drop them off at my office, in the chest beneath the suggestions box! The supplies have been left in the cookhouse for any crafters that find themselves up to the challenge.


[OOC: Post to the suggestions box with how many dreamcatchers your character will try to make, how good they are, and a link to any IC reference to your character working on these dreamcatchers in character. They will be "rewarded" in return - though veterans will know that usually when she offers rewards like this, it's actually something you might actually want and not a surprise curse. This will be mostly first come first serve, though she may take more than the one hundred she asked for if she gets a lot of submissions.

For those using them, the supplies are things like fine leather, silver and gold wire, gemstone beads, iridescent scales, and various wacky feathers.]
