The Petting Zoo By Heart and Home and Crowd Play - [Closed!]

Post by anemosagkelos »

It’s the sign that draws you in. The dripping, the smear, the little voice that niggles in the back of your mi–”Welcome!” booms like thunder and for a moment, your eyes go so wide that you think you’ve gone blind. But, no. That’s just the white ruff that fills your vision as you are smothered in an embrace. (At least this phantom is friendly? Death by hug, that’s not a bad way to go?)

A reprimand interrupts the moment and Crowd Play jumps backwards, a sheepish grin on her face.

“This is Momma’s and mine, um, the petting zoo! Most of them don’t bite, well, not hard or in any way that’s lethal.” Crowd Play grins as if any of that is reassuring. “They’re just lonely and don’t you want more friends?”

The older female bearing a striking resemblance to Crowd Play greets you warmly. “Hello, I’m Heart and Home, I hope you won’t hold my daughter’s enthusiasm against her. But welcome to our, er, petting zoo.” She gestures to a make-shift paddock currently housing several familiars before leaning in close to whisper. “Honestly this is more of an adoption event. We feel that these critters would be happier in a different home.”

A series of snarls and yips erupts from the familiars but Heart seems unfazed. She nudges the gate open, motioning for you to step in.

“Please, feel free to take a look and play with them a little. Maybe you’ll find one you’d love to go home with!”

Rules
● Each week will give out three (3) prizes.
● At the end of the week, the person with the highest total affection points gets first pick. The remaining two (2) prizes will be raffled from the participants.
● A person can only win one familiar from this booth.
● “Affection Points” (i.e. raffle tickets) reset each week so no worries about “catching up” to previous weeks.


How To Play
Your kin’s goal is to gather enough “affection points” to bring home a familiar. There are two ways to earn Affections Points: An easy/quick way and an RP way. You can do chance, RP, or both!

● Chance
○ Roll 1d4, that’s the number of tickets you win.
○ You can roll five (5) times each week. Feel free to do all the rolls in one go, or space them out.
○ You can do BOTH chance only and chance + rp methods
○ Form
[size=150][b][color=#8D0226]SNAKE EYES[/color][/b][/size]
[b]Ticket(s):[/b] [this rolls tickets]
● RP
○ Either roll 1d8 or pick from the critters listed below. Each creature has three different prompts you can choose from.
○ Make an RP response of your kin addressing the prompts with at least 50 words.
○ Each prompt earns you five (5) tickets, though some responses may gain bonus tickets.
○ You can respond to up to five (5) prompts each week. Feel free to do this all in one go, or space them out.
○ Form
[size=150][b][color=#2EBFD4]ONCE UPON A[/color][/b][/size]
[b]Ticket(s):[/b] [amount of roleplay tickets]

RP Prompts
Spoiler

b. Two sand dogs are playing a fierce game of tug of war. Which sand dog does your kin help and why that one?
c. Your kin trips when their hoof falls into a hole. A nearby sand dog growls at the indiscretion. How does your kin apologize? Or do they?

c. The lion is yowling for help. What kind of help did it want/need?

4 - Cave worm
a. These cave worms are pointier than usual. How does this make it harder or easier for your kin to interact with them?
b. You spot the cave worm curled up around something. What is it? is it someone?
c. Oh no, the cave worm is fighting with its fellow cave worm. What does your kin do?

5 - Tea dragon

c. A gryphon went missing, where does your kin find it hiding?
