This month, Merl's grandfather would be 100 years old if he were still alive. We're taking the month of May to celebrate him in ways which connect us with him, through one of his favourite pastimes: fishing!
Cast your line for a chance to catch a koi fish! When you catch a fish, you can choose to either keep the fish as a pet, as a familiar, or accept the fish’s blessing. All pets/familiars are able to swim through the air out of water (AquaAir trait).
Doing any of the activities below will cast a line. A coin will be flipped to determine if your line is successful or not. If successful, a koi fish will be randomised for you. Each task can only be completed once and you can’t “double up” tasks (e.g. if you do a post where a character talks to their grandfather, you have to choose the thinking/talking about grandfather or posting to a family member tasks).
Cast a line on the updates board, under this thread or in the #support channel. This event will run until the end of May.

Examine the pond
Football Koi: The front half of the Football Koi is red, and the back half is white. It has a long black tail and fins and likes to swim with others of its own kind, most commonly in groups of 11. If released, Football Koi offer the blessing of Ball Generation (the ability to make sports balls, e.g. tennis/footballs, appear out of thin air).
Wooden Koi: This fish appears to be made of beautiful varnished oak. Each fish is uniquey carved with complicated designs and no two are the same. They have bright golden eyes. If released, Wooden Koi offer the blessing of Wood Manipulation.
Crooner Koi: The Crooner Koi is completely grayscale, save for its bright blue eyes. They have a small protrusion on their heads which resemble the carefully coiffed hair style of your favourite vintage singers (just without the need for brill cream). If released, Crooner Koi offer the blessing of Music Generation (the ability to create music without instruments; literally like your character is living in a musical).
Jokester Koi: The Jokester koi always seems to be smiling - its the cheshire cat of fish! They say if you tickle a Jokester Koi it will giggle like a schoolboy. They come in a whole array of bright colours and have black eyes. If released, Jokester Koi offer the blessing of Laughter Vibes (the ability to inspire others to start laughing or laugh harder).
Grandfatherly Koi: The GrandFatherly koi wears a blue knitted gansey and appears to smoke a pipe. It uses this pipe to suck in insects from the surrounding air. If released, Grandfatherly Koi offer the blessing of Empathy.
Gardener Koi: The Gardener Koi is green from nose to tip and has green eyes. It is covered in patches of a moss-like substance which they use to filter the water around them as they swim. If they spend any time in water with lilies, they grow the flowers from their backs. If released, Gardener Koi offer the blessing of Plant Manipulation.
Sapper Koi: The Sapper Koi is kahki coloured, with brown fins and tail. Sapper Koi are great team-players and work together to solve any problems they encounter. If released, Sapper Koi offer the blessing of Weapon Generation (the ability to pull a desired weapon, e.g. knife/sword, out of thin air).
