Tutorial TutorialNew Items: Accessibility
How fascinating… Have you met our visitor from the Enchanted Forest? Miranda brought Skyler to my Office yesterday for introductions, and I must heartily agree that she is quite a brilliant young woman. Did you know she even has a leverage system on the inside of her prosthetic to lengthen the hook part for better maneuverability? What a marvelous design! I must get a look at those schematics someday when she’s feeling less shy.
Our discussions prompted an inquiry into Hope’s own accessibility, as of course there are students with a variety of different needs. Miranda suggested putting the Accessibility: Wheelchairs and Accessibility: Hearing Aids & Canes into my Office, so that they could be available at all times.
While the Long Cane only comes in a single color, since it’s meant to guide blind students, the White Walking Cane comes in 10 different colors for your accessorizing pleasure! The White Hearing Aid also comes in 10 colors for our stylish students that are hard of hearing.
For students with mobility concerns, we have not only these 10 colors on the blankets of our White Blanket Wheelchair, but also some of Andre’s best pattern work! You could accessorize your wheelchair with a blanket in rainbow, colored Flannel, Zebra/Tiger/Leopard/Giraffe prints, colored Camo prints, and even the school Spirit color!
Skyler seemed surprised and intrigued by the devices - apparently the Enchanted Forest has no similar equivalents, instead using magic to aid their citizens. I feel quite the fool for not making these available sooner! Hope is an inclusive community and we welcome all students here. Please do stop by to visit again sometime!
March Event Complete: I Made It!
I.. I made it! I, I really did it!
Look at my new arm! I built it myself - a-all thanks to you, of course… I couldn’t have done it without all of you from Hope. Thank you so much for your help!
New Items: Letters of Repudiation
Good evening, my dear students! Have you been keeping up with your schoolwork?
As many of you already know, completing Quests will increase your Reputation with the Character asking for your help, while ignoring their Quests will slowly decrease your Reputation with them by 1 point each day. There are four total levels of Reputation: Neutral, Friendly, Helpful, and Devoted. Those who have completely devoted their time to a particular Character can also earn access to an additional store tab known as the Devoted Shelf.
Strange as it may sound, I've received an unusual request from overachievers looking for more of a challenge. Thus I bring you two new items for sale in my Office: the Letter of Repudiation and the Enchanted Letter of Repudiation. These will immediately cause you to lose one level of Reputation with a Character.
These items are the opposites of their counterparts, the Letter of Recommendation and Enchanted Letter of Recommendation, which give you one more level of Reputation with a Character.
As you can see, I've also found a secret new tag to use on the Forums! You can tag any [ item ] to link to its pop-up information, and if it's a [ premium_item ] you can even link to the pop-up sale and preview image, too! My office will be undergoing a bit of reorganization over the next 24 hours as I sort everything by priority. How's that for your reference material?
