THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER

[indigo_league]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks to everyone’s heroic efforts, the forest fires were put out, the Beasts are spending a little time in the metaphorical time-out corner, and Ho-Oh and Lugia have reunited (and hopefully will be working some stuff out between them)! In the wake of that miserable August, a full month of beautiful, mild weather is on its way-- isn’t it nice when Legendaries are getting along instead of bickering?

After all that excitement, everyone involved will probably want to go get a good night’s sleep unimpeded by far-off tantrum roaring, but don’t go just yet-- there’s individual prizes to be had!

IF YOU WERE AT THE BELL TOWER…

Bookworms and impromptu dancers may pick up a Rainbow Wing: a long, stunning feather from Ho-Oh’s wings, named for the many shades of red, gold, and green it shines when the sunlight hits it!

Those who keep the Rainbow Wing close may feel a sense of vigor and confidence come over them when they need it most, as if Ho-Oh itself is watching over them and encouraging them to rise up and meet whatever challenges might face them.

IF YOU WERE ON THE SEAFOAM ISLANDS…

Those plucky souls who joined the Legend Seekers will be granted a Silver Wing: a gleaming silver-white feather that smells like seasalt and deep currents.

Keeping the Silver Wing close may grant a sense of peace and meditative calm. Ironically, it might be more useful for productive study sessions than adventuring in caves! But just like with Ho-Oh’s token, holders of the Silver Wing may feel a connection with Lugia itself.

IF YOU WERE AT MT. MORTAR…

... Then you have THREE prizes to choose from, all a little more practical than mystical!

A tuft of Entei’s fur is best kept bundled up with an elastic band or a little hair tie. Rugged adventurers will find that it happens to make excellent tinder for a campfire-- even a single hair added to the pile will make the fire catch as easily as if you dumped an entire bottle of lighter fluid on there before telling your Charmeleon to Ember it!

Raikou’s whisker is a stiff, sharp hair that somehow seems to give off energy all by itself-- and it happens to be a natural charger. So never fear if your electronics manage to die on you when you’re camping in the middle of Ghost-type territory. Poking the whisker into your flashlight’s charging port will bring it back full-strength in mere seconds!

A lock of Suicune’s mane has two practical functions. One, it inspires you to start buying more shampoo in the hopes that you too could one day achieve that perfect, tangle-free glossiness. Two, dipping it gently in a small amount of water will completely purify said water, making it safe to drink.

All participating trainers will receive a prize, whether or not they interacted directly with the Legendary it came from.




And that concludes the Dog Days of Summer!

Thank you to everyone for participating, and we hope you all had a great time! We will be tagging with Ho-Oh and Lugia for awhile longer if interest persists, so if anyone is still interested in getting some Legendary interaction in, feel free to tag in and/or continue threading!
