may ii event info
The Nova Knights' first month as a team is shaping up to be a mixed one. The triumph of their victory against Dan Flashes is quickly followed by Nova Zenith's untimely capture at the hands of the Harbingers, and suddenly, the stakes feel much more real.

The data that Nautis needs to track the loose Star Map fragments is currently stored in the soul of Niangniang, the ship's cat on the Nashira, who seems to have been reincarnated on Earth like everyone else. Nautis's sensors pick up some unusual energy readings that she believes to be the magical equivalent of a data leak — the information was never meant to be permanently stored in Niangniang's soul, and now it seems like that temporary solution is starting to fall apart. She entrusts everyone with handheld dowsing machines, which look very much like small handheld toys. They'll beep with increasing frequency if they're in proximity to the source of the data leak, which means they're also not especially subtle. And yes, Nautis can text you through these devices too.

Business at the Golden Butterfly Bathhouse seems to be improving, with more and more customers coming every day...but some of them aren't feeling so rejuvenated. In fact, Nautis is pretty certain that what's happening to them is the same energy harvesting that was going on with Dan Flashes. The Nova Knights will need to investigate what exactly is causing it and put a stop to it!

Nautis reminds everyone that they need to be on the lookout for the Harbingers — after what happened to Nova Zenith, she's urging the Nova Knights not to go out on looking for trouble by themselves, lest they run afoul of the Harbingers too.

missions
1) Dowsing Machines +1 SP
Skills: Investigation, Observation
Suggested Combat Type: N/A
Nautis has provided you all with little devices for tracking the magical data leak in the form of what looks like small handheld toys that beep with increasing frequency when in proximity of the source. They're not exactly discreet, but they're the only way the Nova Knights themselves can track Niangniang. Just try to make sure it doesn't get taken away in class!
Signups are unlimited.

1. Natalia
2. Kalim
3. Jamil
4. Hope
5. Mutsumi

2) Art Contest +1 SP
Skills: Art
Suggested Combat Type: N/A
Shelley Lustre is accepting submissions for his art contest! The art contest is only available to Everwave students (and staff, if they really want to), but it's not outside the realm of possibility for another submission to slip in...if you really want to subject yourself to his artistic criticism, of course. You must describe your character's submission with your signup.
Signups are unlimited.

1. Natalia
2. Kalim
3. Maya

3) Investigate: Bathhouse +2 SP
Skills: Observation, Negotiation
Suggested Combat Type: Support
Since the customers from the Golden Butterfly seem to be exhibiting similar signs as the Dan Flashes diehards earlier in the month, it seems pretty reasonable to check things out here. Not only is there the matter of the new bath salts, it might not be a bad idea to check out the baths themselves. It would be a little hard to do that in supernova, though.
There is room for up to two Nova Knights on this mission.

1. Kalim
2. Mutsumi

4) Showdown: Vaporpilia +3 SP
Skills: Combat, Magic
Suggested Combat Type: Support
Battle in the bathhouse! The Nova Knights' investigations all lead back to the Golden Butterfly — a new monster appears in the baths, maybe even in order to capture Niangniang, and it must be stopped!
There is room for up to three Nova Knights on this mission.

1. Natalia
2. Jamil
3.

5) Rescue: Niangniang +3 SP
Skills: Combat, Magic
Suggested Combat Type: Defense
Once the Nova Knights have located Niangniang with their dowsing machines, they'll have to rescue her before the enemy gets to her first! There is room for up to two Nova Knights on this mission.

1. Natalia
2. Kalim

6) Mystery Plot +3 SP
Skills: Magic, Investigation
Suggested Combat Type: ???
This is a high risk/high reward blind box mission – you don't know exactly what it'll be or how it will wind up affecting your character, but it will be exciting and plot-important! Up to two Nova Knights can participate, but we'll need you to sign this waiver surrendering your fate to the RNG gods.
NOTE: Failure carries the risk of eclipse and/or your character being out of commission for 1 in-game week.

1. Hope
2. Maya

NOTE: You can sign up for more than one limited mission if there are additional slots, but please wait until everyone has had a chance to sign up before signing up for a second limited mission. If you signed up for multiple limited missions last month, please allow those who did not a chance at a second mission before signing up for one yourself.

ART: 2. She can express herself well enough to satisfy herself, and that's... really just about it.
Eclipse? Y

Natalia (grudgingly) submits what turns out to be the work of several blocks of clay-- a small cliffside, carefully painted, with purple-black writhing arms pulling down... someone. You can only see the hand emerging, clutching a single giant pearl in its grip, until you look down and see that under the 'water' and surrounded and being dragged down is the suggestion of a single lapis eye.

Some sculpted sea-shells and other abyssal creatures (not... Abyssal, but like... bottom-feeders) complete the piece.

Unwieldy clay sculpture of an elephant :) It's really glittery. Kalim is having a glitter moment. You did this Shelley

ART: 3. She's no revolutionary artist, but her stuff looks nice, and she's fairly good at cartooning. however. she has refused to enter a sculpture in hopes of a bad grade.
Eclipse? N

Maya only participates by sneaking in because of a pact she made with Pearl to make Pearl participate, but she's submitted something she is sure won't win as a result, avoiding sculpture entirely. her submission is an ink-and-watercolor portrait of a woman dancing in ribbon-like stripes of watercolor. it's not immediately clear who the subject is, but those particularly well acquainted with a certain sister of Maomao's might think it looks familiar...

ultimately, though, the face of the figure is concealed by one of those ribbony lengths of fabric. there are no pearls or seashells on the piece at all, but there is mica powder in the water colors! she's just hoping for a score lower than Pearl's.
