June 30; What's in a Name?
Today the citizens of the City take on the traits of their names. Is it Sakura? If so they might just find sakura petals tattooed all over their bodies or mysteriously floating around them. Any Valentines out there? Perhaps they’ll be perpetually covered in hearts and candy! The sky's the limit on how their names are interpreted.
2; Childrens Day
The Deities love youth so much they've decided to celebrate it by making sure theirloyal subjects relive their younger days. Citizens wake up to find themselves trapped in childhood, whether it's in physical body, mentality, or both. Variety only makes the curse more interesting after all.
4; National Animal Day
What's your national animal? Whatever it might be, either beaver, lion, or dragon, citizens now find themselves with that creature on their hands… as a wonderful pet given to them by the City. Make good use of their time, each has only 24 hours to stick around to be tamed, eaten, or otherwise. [Creatures are not to exceed the size of a bus!]
6; If I Only Had a Brain
There's a bird problem in the City. The solution? Scarecrows, of course. Several scarecrows are popping up in the fields, in the streets, maybe even in the bedroom. They're not just any scarecrows though, when you're not looking they seem to move. What will they do when they come to life? Sing? Dance? Or terrorize? [Whether they're nice or horrific scarecrows is up to the player, but all scarecrows will disintegrate into dust by midnight if they aren't killed before then.]
9; Monster Mayhem
The sea is where life begins, and that holds true for the City too. Something unseen has dropped its smaller children into the streets. By nightfall its parent comes rising from the ocean's waves to wreak havoc on the City, but it never makes it past the forest. Why? Because a challenger appears. The King of Monsters steps up from the ocean's depths to combat this intruder and drag it back down to the bottom of the sea by nightfall… leveling a fifth of the forest while they're at it. [Cloverfield parasites can be NPCed at will, but the monster battle is purely for show with Godzilla as the winner. It's assumed that the parasites are either killed or simply die off by midnight. The forest will rebuild itself via City Magic the following day. Apologies, no City!Death Exemptions this time!]
12; Arabian Nights and Days
The City transforms into arabesque architecture, harems, and flying carpets. Genies and their lamps are scattered throughout, granting three wishes to whoever might find them. Just beware that these wishes never go as they're intended, and it's quite unfortunate that whatever wishes are fulfilled are gone along with the sands of the desert by midnight.
15; The Police State
Sometimes there just isn't enough order to go around. Police and other officers of the law arrive to uphold justice and keep the peace. Of course some of them have better ideas on how to go about doing this than others. Brutality? Bribes? Remember it's all for a citizen's own good.
17; Amuse Yourself
Xanadu has expanded to include an amusement park, complete with a Titanic Slide at the entrance. Some citizens might recognize other homages to the City, like a Mirror Maze and costumed characters dressed like Stewards selling cotton candy. It seems only fair to gift such humble citizens with the opportunity to have a little bit of fun after all the wreckage. [The amusement park will remain a permanent fixture even after the day is over.]
20; Crossover Day
What's this? Citizens are waking as if they've come from other worlds, particularly the worlds of their illustrious neighbors. A ninja now thinks he's a pirate and a pirate now thinks she's a ninja. It's one big dose of confusion for those who remain unchanged, and an even worse puzzlement for those who recognize the role but not the individual! [Players please research fandoms before picking roles. Characters can fulfill classes but not individual seats of power. Example: a villain's parallel in Star Wars may be that of a Sith warrior, but no character should take the role like that of Emperor Palpatine. If players are considering taking roles that may be important to a fandom present in polychromatic, please have the courtesy of contacting the crew for that fandom to discuss it. Have fun with this curse but remember to be fair!]
22, Listmania
Citizens feel compelled to list list list on the network. It doesn't matter what the list is or how many lists there are, they simply can't stop listing. Top Tens and Things I Would Do For Money are all fair game today.
24; Black Bars Prevent Mental Scars
Too bad black bars are lacking in the City. Citizens find that their clothes are nowhere to be found and when they do find them it seems as if their clothes don't want to stay on! What's the meaning of this embarrassment? The Deities do advise that some of their citizens simply need a tan.
26-28; A Chilling Winter
For three days a frosty snow covers the entire City. What starts on the first day as a gentle snowfall turns into one of the coldest winters the City has ever had on the second day. Even the shores look like the icy cliffs of northern nations. The third day is filled with slush and mush as the snow melts to once again give way to balmy summer weather.
30; The Sound of Music
Citizens can't seem to stop speaking in tunes! It doesn't matter if it's a line, a verse, or an aria in its entirety. But it's unfortunate that some songbirds sound better than others.
