HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hello, everyone! Futurology has officially been in existence for a year as of today! Time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? It’s almost hard to believe that the game has only seen three (and a quarter!) missions in that timespan, but regardless, we’d like to offer all of you a sincere thanks for your diligence, patience and kindness towards us and each other over the last twelve months. Your creativity and openness has helped make Futurology the game it is today, and we hope it continues to in the future! We still want to hear your feedback and ideas even though the game is no longer in its infancy. An especially big thank you to those who have been working with us to make Futurology the best it can be since the beginning. As mods, our job isn’t always easy, but having a playerbase as energizing as this one has certainly helped us get through! So, on Futurology’s first birthday, we’d like to offer you all our gratitude, and we hope that the game will continue strong for more to come. Of course, what’s a birthday without presents? Wherever they’re staying--be it a local’s house, a barn, or the cold hard desert ground--characters will wake to find a ring tucked beneath their pillow or right by their head. (If your character can’t or won’t wear rings, please substitute the appropriate jewelry of your choice!) The ring lacks any particular powers, but within its cabochon head is a kind of snowglobe-like representation of home. What that means for your character is up to you: where they live, where they work, their friends and family. Along with the ring is a little rolled-up note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUDENTES! We have a birthday request! If you'd like, please tell us below what your character's home-ring is! We'd like to coo over how cute they all are.

Torn as she is on the idea of what home is, Sieglinde's ring will look different depending on the angle it's viewed from.

From one side, you can see Wolfsschlucht Village at night, from the medieval style homes, a courtyard filled with torture implements from the witch hunts, the gloomy manor, and the candlelit library/study she had spent most of her life. But you won't see any of the women she's mentioned in conversation... no handmaidens, no villagers, no crone- only Wolfram, her manservant.

From the other side, you can see Sieglinde's room in Oska, her bed and desk absolutely covered in her books, potions, herbs, and papers, and those dearest to her in the team, even those who've gone, come in and out of the scene as visitors. There's a certain one-eyed samurai and his retainer, an Atlantean princess, a golden king among kings, a heartless hunter and his brother, a red-haired bookworm, a drunk immortal, a kind dancer-turned-disciple, a noble hero from the past, an elegant archer and red one, a false ghoul, an elven mage, a god of mischief and one of love, a well-meaning skeleton, a clever Askan, a young legendary wizard, a king of knights, a sharp-shooting officer, a cardcaptor, a guest of Wonderland, a fiery-tempered young magus... There's so many people. Laughing, talking, researching, working, sharing meals...

She won't wear her ring on her finger, (using those hands around chemicals too much for that), but she'll keep it on the end of her chatelaine along with her magitech and other useful items.
