[Mayuko can be seen pacing outside of the Dhaliwal-to-Wall Bookstore in high spirits, as a quartet of chocobos observe the proceedings.]

You all, I cannot believe--I can't believe it! Hahhhh... okay, first of all! Happy New Year, if I haven't seen you in a few days. I occupied myself with a warm kotatsu and four days worth of auspicious-food-in-a-box, as one does. But then I ran out of reading material, which is why I started out here! BUT THEN!!!

[She gestures back at the large birds.]

These all started kicking up a fuss and wanting me to follow them and-- it's not the most impossible thing, I know, but we're going to head to the east of the bookstore, east of Mollymarlin's trolley stop and you're going to see something pretty great.

[She flips the camera away from her and begins walking towards some of the low hills that border the mountains of Mollymarlin. After some time, approaching the bordering river, she pipes up again.]

I guess this is going to be a heads-up, if you have been brought to other places before Etraya? Things from there can show up. For better or for worse.... OK, walking, we're walking and--

[She points to an opening in the hillside and goes up to it.]

( It's a Surprise~ )

We will be closing location requests bought by AC reward points one week from today, on January 15th 12 AM PST. The locations and activity pages have been updated to reflect them being closed, but we will accept any requests through that date.

New location requests will remain available for free for any character who has been in game at least 6 months, with 1 request per lifetime of the character allowed.

I'm not a fan of you sending me somewhere that doesn't have anything to do with saving my brother. Asuka needs me to save him, not go off having adventures in some other world!

And what's with trying to make it so my E-pulse is still screwed up whenever I go to one of these places?! Can't you give me a break?! If I have to go somewhere, can't I at least not have to deal with that anymore?!

Hang on, bitch, this idea of yours? Yeah, we're just gonna drop those in the trash. And then set that trash on fire. Listen, I'd say I'm an open-minded guy, wouldn't you? I'm game for a lot. A real lot, just ask around!

But you cannot send an assassin to a place with no weapons, and no killing. Fuck that, no offense- Except actually, yes, take offense. I'm offended by this plan, you might as well join me.

                    State of the Game
                
✨ THE START OF A MAGICAL NEW YEAR!

✨ Current Character Count: 35

✨ Applications for December: 7

✨ Drops for December: 1

✨ A minimum word count of 500 words has been added to the personality section of the application.

✨ Quests are now being rolled into TDM and Events rather than being a separate entity.

✨ The FAQ has been updated and now includes sections about Media Guidelines, Crime & Punishment, as well as what happens with character Death in Iyashikei.

✨ The Rewards page has been updated to include a new business partnership option and several other new rewards, more explained below.

✨ Magic Pathways have been added to Yadah University. See more below.

✨ There are more changes underway, but we're not quite ready to announce them just yet.

New Magic Learning System                    

✨ This is something we’ve talked about and teased a few times in the past—including in our last State of the Game—and we’re excited to finally roll it out: the new magic learning system! With this update, characters who previously had no magic and characters who already possess magical abilities will now be able to learn new forms of magic in Iyashikei. 

✨ How will learning new magic work?

A new option has been added to the Rewards list, allowing characters to enroll in one of the magical study programs at Yadah University. Characters may also choose to enroll in two programs by selecting the Arcane Synthesis Track. Upon enrollment, characters will start off as beginners and progress through their studies over time, based on a combination of in-game activity and length of participation. 

✨ What are the schools of magic?

There are currently six different schools (or pathways) of magic available to choose from: Alchemy, Conjuration, Elemental Magic, Psionic/Mental Magic, Transformation, and Transmutation. Additional schools may be introduced in the future, but these will serve as our starting foundations. 

✨ How many schools can my character enroll in?

Most characters may enroll in one pathway at a time. The exception is for those on the Arcane Synthesis Track, who may select two pathways. The first pathway must be chosen from Conjuration, Elemental Magic, or Transformation, while the second must be chosen from Alchemy, Psionic/Mental Magic, or Transmutation. 

✨ When do I choose which school they will enter?

When submitting the reward request to enroll and begin as a novice, you will be prompted to select a school of magic from the available options at that time. There will not be any additional forms to fill out or a formal record of enrollment.

✨ What about characters who have been in the game already?

For characters who have already been active in-game and may have been studying magic at Yadah University, we are allowing players to retroactively apply that time toward their character’s progression within their chosen pathway. All other advancement requirements, however, must still be fulfilled as normal.

✨ What are the advancement requirements?

These specifics to advancing can be found on the Advancement tab of the Magic School page. But it will be a combination of time in-game, proof of activity, and specific threads involving the study of the magic being learned. With the requirements becoming greater for each step up the pathway.

A Word from the Mods                    

✨ Jax:
 
Hello, everyone! 

A whole year! Can you believe it? I cannot express my genuine awe and gratitude at how this has turned out. I had a tiny, little dream about a Slice of Life game with chill vibes and a pastel, solar punk setting. A place of low stress overall, where characters could focus on aspects of found family and kindness. On my part, there have been ups and downs, mistakes made, lessons learned, and hopefully, I will continue to grow and learn so that I can be the best co-head mod for all of you. I truly want what is best for the game, and I will continue to strive to provide a fun, safe, and welcoming game for all. Everyone, both former and current players, have left their mark on Iyashikei and made it what it is today.

I want to thank each and every one of you for joining me through all of this, for all of your understanding of the mistakes I have made, your continued enthusiasm for the events I've created, or player-run events, and the ways you have helped grow and shape this game! I hope we can continue growing as a game and as a community. Iyashikei would not exist if it weren't for all of you and all of your passion you pour into this little space on Dreamwidth. I hope that going into 2026, we will see a bright future with more adventures that await our characters and the continued connection of our community as a whole. Thank you so much for your support, whether you've only been here for a few days or since the game opened. I truly am so thankful for all of you.

Love,

Jax

✨ Tilt: Hello, Iyashikei!

It’s hard to believe that a full year has passed since our very first test drive, when the council began drawing individuals from across worlds to help spread kindness and generosity in the face of darkness and horror throughout the multiverse. Back then, I was simply here with Iroh, who was trying to do what good he could. At that time, I  didn't really know where the road would lead.

Over the course of this year, Iyashikei has changed in ways I never expected. Being here, writing with all of you, and watching this space take shape has been a pleasure. I’m deeply honored to have had the chance to step up and join the mod team as co-mod alongside Jax, and I’m excited to keep supporting Iyashikei as it continues to grow and evolve in 2026.

While the journey hasn’t always been smooth, the purpose of Iyashikei has never wavered: to create a welcoming space where people can come together to rediscover a little light, warmth, and joy through roleplay. As a personal New Year’s resolution, I’m aiming not only to be more active in logs, but also to spend more time getting to know everyone here and threading with as many of you as I can.

Until the next,

Tilt

✨Meowzy: Hi everyone! First of all, I hope everyone who celebrates any kind of December holiday had a lovely time, full of warm moments and delicious food. If you didn't celebrate anything, I hope you also still had a lovely time full of warm moments and delicious food! 2026 is upon us, and I for one am determined to make it a very good year. I hope you all are too!

It took a few months of backseat app modding, but I've finally joined the game with a character of my own! Maybe another character will slip into that roster in the future, who knows? Either way, I'm excited to play in Iyashikei and get interaction going with all you lovely folks. But just like the other mods, I'll also be doing my part behind the scenes to help the game grow and evolve where needed. ... Or just give you more of the stuff that we know you all love to play around with. If you have feedback, please don't hesitate to let the team know, as player involvement and satisfaction will always be a vital component to a healthy game. And if not, hope to see you all out there for some delicious threading!

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

We both know neither of us have the time for this foolishness.

You have 3 unfinished work projects, 32 open books (that's worse than Satan, how do you survive?), and a thoroughly untenable home-life. No, that's not an opening to discuss mine! I'm busy enough trying to achieve Lord Diavolo's dream, don't you have your own to work on?

I really don't see how this helps either of us.

I'm not Mammon or Beelz you can just bribe, not even with tea or travel - a pathetic attempt.

Leave me to my work, and complete your own.

I LOST AGAIN?! AND TO HER? THE LITTLE HYPOCRITE? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

We all know who DevSis's favorite cookie is: ME! I'M the one who brought the most players in! I'M the one who gets all the staring roles! I'M the most recognizable cookie out of the entire batch! And I STILL lose to Dark Enchantr-Oops! Sorry, keep making that mistake! What I meant to say was White Lily Cookie. Yes, White Lily Cookie. Don't know HOW I keep making that mistake.

[He's totally doing it on purpose, he's so mad right now.]

But fine! Whatever! Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, I guess. Come next year this will all be forgotten and I'll be top dog once again.

CHIRPER
Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:

Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya, or by other characters on behalf of their friends! This includes the Q&A section.
Characters can either like or dislike others' CHIRPER profiles. These responses are public.
This is voluntary on an OOC basis; if the character doesn't have a profile completed by themselves or anyone else, nothing shows up for them on CHIRPER.
For those who do post a top level, profiles are worth 5 extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These 5 extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

This month there is a special ✨ HOLIDAY SEASON ✨ addition: instead of ✓ or ✕ for like or dislike, it's 🎄 and 🔪. Whatever the character has the most votes for shows up appended to their username on the network for the next month, as in, un: aurora 🎄.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here!

Wow…and here I thought you just wanted to torture me for giggles. But this new gadget you have planned for me…I think it would help a lot. I am a bit concerned though. Don't get me wrong, I could use the help. I just…don't want to become too reliant on it, you know?

Maybe I should ask Agent Locke to make me an umbrella like Justin's. That'll be helpful, too.
