WELCOME TO THE OPENING OF CAFE PHANTASIA!
For the entire month, the town of Mirstone is livelier than usual. There was hardly ever a break in the friendly banter between all of the townsfolk, because this month was reserved in honor and gratitude towards Cry and the Beacon Company. The dimension-traveling heroes work diligently to rescue foreign dimensions and their inhabitants and through all the inner and outer turmoil. With all that hard work, the townsfolk come together to celebrate so that the dimension travelers know that their efforts are heard, seen, and appreciated.
During the Beacon Appreciation month, a lantern festival is held for three days. Other-dimension originators wear masks resembling their original appearance and everyone mingles amongst the community to ensure that everyone, both new and old to Mirstone, feels welcomed and connected.
As the townsfolk dance and play, the lights in cozy well-known Café Phantasia shine brilliantly. The Agniya family can be seen doing their own things. The elderly couple, owners of the café, can be seen serving festival-themed sweets and beverages to the partying people. The siblings, guides for the Beacon Company, can be heard speaking to folks interested in joining the Company.
Now it's time for you to hop in and join!

DEADLINE: October 2nd, 2025 @ 11:59pm PST
1.) Get to know the Company!
TH-ID CODE: 11493110
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
As you get yourself settled with your newfound association with the Beacon Company, it might be a good idea to interact with the higher-ups to get to know them! (Or maybe you're walking around for the nostalgia and want to interact!)
AT THE CAFÉ...
Makari and Vanya can be seen running the front counter. As Vanya handles the front register, providing the customers their food and beverages, Makari can be seen brewing up a mean coffee.
Maybe help out Makari with those orders if you're an employee of Café Phantasia! If not, why not sit by the counter and have a drink? Maybe a cake slice? Chat up with them!
Stop by one of the rooms on the upper floor now fashioned to serve as a large archive after last year's circus visit made the company all too aware of the lost Beacon Travelers. That's where you'll find Gavriil organizing and going through old memories.
Wouldn't hurt to take a moment, perhaps give him a hand, and listen to a story or two so memories are kept by more than just one person.
AT THE FIELDS...
A grassy field can be found in the outskirts of Mirstone, an area owned by the Beacon Company to station their farm. The area is both a physical training ground for those that want to practice any muscle memory while also housing animals that are maybe a little too large to live with. Artemi can be seen practicing long-range weapons such as archery and shooting targets while horse-back riding, if you need any melee weapons, she can definitely hook you up.
Try to do a practice duel with them. Double dare ya!
Depict your traveler interacting with an official NPC of the Company! They're more than excited to get to know who you are!
2.) Meet somebody new!
TH-ID CODE: 11493114
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
Either you're a new person FRESH to the Beacon Company or you're a dimension-traveling veteran, y'know you gotta make connection with your colleagues! Welcome your new teammates by doing a variety of activities that can be but not limited to...
dancing together! - A plaza has been cleared for the townsfolk to dance together during the festival and a lively band plays to project the heart of Mirstone.
eating together! - Grab a snack! There's a ton of food and fun everywhere. Explore the culinary culture of Mirstone!
sparring together! - Show off those new moves, old moves, whatever! Just establish that dominance and show who's the top dog!
Depict your traveler interacting with a traveler that belongs to a member that just joined during this year's opening! Collaborations are encouraged.
3.) Reconnect with an old friend!
TH-ID CODE: 11493117
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
When hearts drift apart, there's nothing better to do than draw them back together! Hit up old friends (be it member- or character-wise) by doing a variety of activities that can be but not limited to...
stop by the docks! - To spice things up, a series of stands and shops have been propped up, check the nick-knacks, homemade trinkets and antiques for sale, enjoy the breeze, hear the sound of your feet against the wood of the docks, all good stuff.
go to the beach party after the sun's down! - Nothing like the sound of the waves, a bonfire, some food, music, it's a whole party, with a very very nice change of scenery!
sing karaoke together! - The stage is set at the plaza and it's anybody's game with that mic. GO DO A DUET AND BELT OUT YOUR FEELINGS.
go for a walk in the woods! - There's plenty of woods and trails, specially around the college in the outskirts of Mirstone, pass by the small river, enjoy time outside, hold hands, collect sticks, touch grass...
Depict your traveler interacting with a traveler that belongs to a member that's been in the group for a while or an old friend of yours you haven't interacted with in a while (even if it was just for like- two minutes)! Collaborations are encouraged.
4.) Light a lantern!
TH-ID CODE: 11493125
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
With the annual Beacon Lights Festival, it's always an indication of a new chapter and turning point in life. Take the time to light up a lantern for yourself to symbolically re-ignite your spark. Revitalize yourself so that you can embrace and take on whatever the future has in store!
Depict your character lighting up a lantern, letting it float up to the night sky!
5.) Join the RP party!
TH-ID CODE: 11493140
REWARD(S): 250 nums
redeemable for 1 RP sessions
Walking in the back of the Café, one would notice some announcements scrawled on the chalkboard. It looks like some members of the Company are hosting some parties!
Truth or Dare
Let's hit the beach as summer comes to an end! It's time to get personal and ballsy with a classic game of ToD.
Or maybe we could get comfortable in our DTVs and take 'em for a spin in a Greendell sleepover under the astral sky?
Work Never Stops!
Yes, the festival may be in full swing, but duty still calls and your aid is still requested! There's still more plotlines to follow and some new calls for help. Keep an eye out for what other missions, outings, and the likes the DMs got planned. Note that they may not be related to the festival itself!
Join our RPs while you can! The dates and information will be announced in our Discord Server.
[EVERYONE IS GIVEN 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT TO EARN REWARDS.] That is a lot of time, but if you think you will still be turning in something late, you have until the 10th of the month to submit your creation and receive 1/2 of the reward. After that, we will no longer accept submissions for that prompt unless stated otherwise.
[THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE...] Visual creations (ie. digital & traditional artwork) must submit a colored half-body art and literature must submit at least 1,500 words. Everything will be viewed and read to ensure that the submission addresses the prompt it was made for. If we feel that the submission doesn't quite match the prompt, we'll let you know!
[RP LOGS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ACCEPTED.] These must at least be 3,000 words. All of the participants will receive the same amount of rewards, so don't worry about figuring out how to split it evenly, haha.
[COLLABORATIONS ARE ALLOWED.] Speaking of which, yes, collaborations are indeed allowed! And you also don't have to worry about splitting the loot equally. Everyone receives the same amount of rewards!
[IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF YOUR OWN BEACON TRAVELERS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION...] They will all receive the same amount of rewards since they are participating in the event prompt.
[SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT THREAD.] You can find it here:
https://toyhou.se/~forums/31173.-event-submission
Do you really enjoy Cafe Phantasia's universe and you want to contribute to it?
Maybe by making an event or brainstorming a new dimension to travel to? DM someone on the mod team so we can work together and see if we can make it happen!
