After the scramble to rescue Terapagos from the Foul Four and their meddlesome bunny curse, the heroes get to enjoy the closing ceremony in full. As everyone says their good-byes to their visitors from the world without magic, things return back to whence they where. Once again, a thank you to the heroes (and their begrudging allies) for defending Kitakami from the unruly mischief makers! King Arthur can't express how relieving it is to not have had the rabbit curse spread any further than it did. He really did not want carrots to become the norm for every restaurant in his kingdom! The Foul Four have been properly locked up and put away and the darkness will be purified from them once we have the ability to do so!
While King Arthur is regathering his troops to continue to fight against the Darkness, our students need to retreat back to the University side of things to take care of their finals! YEAH, THAT'S HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED ALREADY! While it's important to keep fighting the darkness, it's also important to keep your grades up so that you can return to the University next year! Flunking out now will make things very difficult to stay with your linked pairs if you don't have access to the same grounds as King Arthur's castle, after all.
Meanwhile, as our heroes recover from the Rabbit Hangover, they receive a rather peculiar letter from the hands of a Ribombee. Inside, the letter details the following:
"To the heroes whom this receives this message:
The Seasonal court invites you and a plus one to the grandest party in all the realms! The party of the Four Seasons.
Come join us for fun and games! Maybe even a hint of fairy mischief if you're bold enough. As well as a music competition to show off your musical talent!
We normally do not send invites to those outside of the Faewild, however with the Darkness Virus being so dangerous we have decided to extend this invite to you.
We would like the heroes to attend in order to make sure out festivities go smoothy without any disruption or Darkness Infected crashing the party. You are still welcomed to enjoy the party and participate in the competition as you keep watch.
The Four Seasons court hopes that you will attend our party, it's a once in a lifetime offer you do not want to miss."

The fantasy heroes have been invited to a party! Just in time for the summer too! Even if it's just to act as a watchful eye over things, a party is still a party!
The music competition at The party of the Four Seasons is the main event and why many travel great distances to attend when invited; musicians from all over to compete in order to win a magic item from the Seasonal Courts. What the prize is exactly? Well it is only revealed once there's a winning music troupe, as it's a secret throughout the entire event. Which often attracts more than just overly competitive attendees, often times thieves and other conniving characters try to invite themselves in so they can steal the items before the competition ends.
On the University side of things: There are posters scattered around the school about a music festival for the end of the semester! Featuring a battle of the bands competition as well!
The only downside is... The competition starts the first week of summer school.
With finals right around the corner, the pressure sure is on to pass! Both to still have access to your link and to not have your sweet sweet music festival time be taken up by studying and summer school. Better get to studying then!
While the semester wraps up, students and professors can finally be free for the summer! Though getting that summer vacation is not going to be easy. There's studying, gathering band members, practice, and so much more to do to get ready! The Linked Pairs are going to have to put their heads together and try to help each other out! The Music Festival and Party of The Four Seasons will be a week apart from each other, with the Music Festival coming in two weeks after finals!
Good luck out there heroes, break a leg and not your instrument!
Weather it's study crunching at the last minute, studying like a sane and stable person, or just winging it. Finals loom overhead as an intimidate threat... For the students that is, as for the professors the amount of work from grading all their students' exams also shall eventually claim them.
Regardless of your confidence level, it is important to survive Finals before preparing for the Battle of the Bands!
Or don't I guess, paying attention to your GPA is for squares.
If you don't pass your classes this semester, well off to summer classes with you to avoid academic probation! Which may or may not get in the way of your rehearsals.
Linked pairs are allowed to swap with their Fantasy counter parts! Though do be careful, you may never know if your link may flop the exam for you!
Woohoo! Finals is over, and summer break is upon the students! But wait, what's this? The college is hosting an event as a reward for everyone's hard work! And wait, there's more? The event is holding a Battle of the Bands contest!
As for the fantasy side of things, gather a troupe of musicians to play at the party!
Who're you getting to join your band? What kind of instruments will your characters play? Or better yet, how will they plan their performance?
Either draw them doing their practice sessions, rehearsals, and maybe even some band drama! Let's see how they rock on to wow the audience!
Linked pairs are allowed to swap with their Fantasy counter parts! Will they make their student counterparts proud, or will they be up for disappointment?
Bands and Troupes should consist of a minimum of 2 characters and a maximum of 6!
Feel free to collaborate with other members to complete this prompt!
In the magical world side of things, the Faewild is hosting a party of their own! The Four Seasons Courts host a large party every year with plenty of food, fun, and games. With their grand event being a competition between groups of musicians to win a gift from the Seasonal Courts!
Party hard in the fantasy world! Go get some drinks, watch the performances, and maybe even chat with a few of the residents! Though make sure to steer clear of fairy pranks and other shenanigans they may pull.
Villains and other evil aligned characters would have to sneak into the party in order enjoy the festivities without worry, especially if they're widley known as being malicious. Though those with a kind front may be able to sneak in with ease.
After many weeks of rehearsing and prep, now comes time to finally get on stage and show everyone what your group has in store!
University side bands will go head to head to prove whose the top performers on campus! Out play your competition and leave them in the dust.
Fantasy side troupes will perform to impress the leaders of each seasonal court.
