Farm Info Update

sinningtreeHey folks, due to a series of unexpected events, Kurama has taken over care of Astralin's Farm, so here is an update on that for those of you interested. Happy to expand on anything or answer questions.
1.) The biggest change is a bulletin board went up for Chosen to post notices! This is to facilitate characters hearing about or spotting things at the farm to direct their interest to the appropriate party. Lore info, business advertisements, public mingles or events.
The info post includes the farmhouse, farmland, onsen and new bed and breakfast. Please note the b&b has not been opened yet, I just didn't want to go back and edit the post later once that's finalized.
Edit: since this has been asked, please respond to the appropriate thread on the info post to share your character's information! ICly characters are welcome to post their own notices directly on the board or leave something with staff to be put up, if they'd rather do that.
For temporary notices like hosting an event, feel free to handwave something being posted rather than submit any info to the post. Mentioning that notices were put up at the farm during ooc plotting is sufficient!
2.) If you would like to know more about what's changing at the farm an info post is here, please utilize the space in any way you'd like.
- to list what animals your characters keep there
- mention if/when your character might be around
- information they may have available to share with others
While the land is available for anyone using it to expand on their training through Richard's boot camp, Kurama is not involved with the Defense Squad or going to be encouraging combat training on the property.
3.) Kurama had partnerships with Claude and Ethlyn regarding the Apothecary and Clinic. This was mostly intended as a no questions asked combination of efforts in times of need. The farm is generally a safe house during events and may also be used for extra storage or beds. How much or how little that remains is up to current owners of those properties, Kurama does work at the apothecary and volunteer through the clinic still.
4.) My hope is to use this as an opportunity for players to network getting characters together or fill in gaps regarding information sharing. It is meant to be a tool for all players to take advantage of regardless of association with Kurama. He is very hands off and tends to let people do their own thing and that will definitely apply here, most people will probably not know the difference between him as the current owner and anyone else volunteering or working there unless they ask or do some digging on their own.
There's been discussion about people not really knowing what's going on with others or what's available to them so my goal here has always been intended to help with being more proactive about what's available in the game. The way the farm currently runs will be preserved as much as possible. Everyone is free to use the resources and store any pets that require housing there, as they have been up until now. People who visit or help out on a volunteer basis are welcome to continue doing so or become official employees.
I'm already planning a woods/greenhouse mingle this month, but a farm mingle could be tentatively planned for next month or July if anyone is interested.
