As summer wanes and the fall rains begin to wash over the lands of the RP Repository, festive formations of fantastic fungus can be found flourishing in Forum Forest.
For this week only, you can pick up a red mushroom to decorate your profile! Get them one at a time, or buy them in fistfuls of five!
Really, we can't stress enough: these are decorative mushrooms. We would not recommend trying to eat them. You might feel pretty funny for several hours!In other news...
- The whole site has transitioned to using HTTPS. Yay more security!
- Trying out some new features for the Community page - first up: a selection of characters that are categorized as "Looking For RP." The selection is partially random, but your own comfort settings, who you've blocked, player activity levels, and some other factors come into play as well to try and keep the suggestions at least semi-relevant.

These are adorable!

Clipse: Oh god oh god oh god oh god I am so dead! *fidgeting with Dcat phone and stuttering into it*
You sound like you think I'm going to snap my fingers and zap you into a pile of ashes.
Clipse: Forgive me, Goddess! I dared Merc to eat one of the RPR "decorative mushrooms"
And I assume he did? Damn, I really shouldn't have made him with a kind of typical teen male stupidity. Show me him...he isn't dead, is he?
Clipse: No he's very well alive, but...
Merc: Badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom!
...Is that that viral video thing I saw on facebook?
Umbren: It's not a virus, at least I don't think it is, and we're NOT taking a video, and a book about faces? What?
Merc: Badger badger badger badger mush mushroom!
Umbren: Ugh! Make him stop! And you, young lady! *glares at Clipse* Better NEVER even TOUCH anything like those mushrooms again! You're driving your poor old uncle to drink!
Uh...okay...I think I have it.
*vial and needle syringe fall from the ceiling*
This is a bit of magic creator dust made into a liquid...It's supposed to be a cure all. He'll probably be knocked out for a bit afterward, but when he wakes up, he'll be fine. I hope... Is either of the twins there? Or Samba?
Cerai: I'm here. I thought it was funny at first, but now it's just annoying. ...So, what? I give him this shot? Better not be in the butt.
...That would be the fastest way, yeah. The needle should go through clothing though.
Cerai: Ugh, why me...
You have a big wyvern, have her sit on him to pin him down. Sorry, but that should be the easiest because he'll probably resist and flail around.
Merc: *pinned down by Blaze* Badger badger badger badger AHHH a snake a snake a snake a snake! Badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom- *sputters* *goes silent*
Cerai: I better get a million brownie points for this.
Just nobody tell him this happened, that shot will wipe his memory of all this too. Just...don't. For his sake...

They're just too cute! 
Uh. 
Uh.
...Want. They look so cute! I am totally not about to buy one because I love mushrooms enough to have a mushroom seller OC, nope.
(And uh, if they do come back as an annual thing, may I suggest a blue and white mushroom? Just because.)

So these mushrooms aren't by any means magical? They don't make you a giant or give you the ability to breathe fire or heal you or anything?
Umbren: *grabs Merc and pushes him out the door* I'm taking the kid someplace safe...we don't need a goddess who's high on shrooms.
Merc: Hey! Let go of me!
Clipse: Yeah, leave him alone, she didn't imply she was actually going to eat them.
Topaz: I already breathe fire, what's the point?
Samba: *in cat form, sniffing the mushrooms* Yeeuck! They smell HORRIBLE! Who in the right mind would eat them anyway?
Leo: Let's decorate the stables with them! They'll keep the flies away.
Cerai: Not that bad of an idea, but...we better make sure the wyverns can't reach them, they might try to eat them. Or at least Blaze will...

I love the mushrooms! This is great. I'm glad to see the added security as well. Thanks, Kim!
Woo, HTTPS! I've always felt funny RPing over unsecured public networks, but that ends now!
(Also, yay mushrooms
But I've been longing for HTTPS for years )

The new icons look great, even if I don't like mushrooms!
I definitely feel like I'm on a roll at the moment!
Mushrooms will likely come back annually like our other botanical items. Or at least, some variant of them will.

Oooh, cute! Will these return in future perhaps, like the flowers?
These two updates are huge! You're on fire with these recently!

Golden Cookies: Oh my! So many different effects! Speaking whale lol.
I think if we as a community learned anything from this, its that if Kim says "don't eat these, they're decoration only", we better listen and make sure our characters do too!
