AUGUST EVENT - BAMBI SQUAD

[central_librarymods]

It is a warm, fall day in one of the most beautiful areas of the North American Wilderness. Yellowstone National Park is renowned for its natural wonders and the majestic creatures that live on its protected lands. Unfortunately some of the wildlife that has found its way into Yellowstone are not native to the Park.

While exploring the Forest, Bambi, Thumper, and their woodland friends scampered into a new area to play. Excited by the chance to explore the group has decided to see what friends and adventures they can find. Friend Owl flies beside them, hooting warnings at the group. “These woods are not safe,” he warns, but the youngsters are too excited to listen.

Catching sight of a strange looking deer, Bambi and Faline bound off to find out why his antlers look different than the Great Prince of the Forest’s. Thumper and his bunny friends hop off to find a tasty bit of clover to nibble on. At first Flower stays near Friend Owl but soon he’s just as curious as the rest, exploring fallen logs and looking for potential dens.

While the group rambles and plays, the other creatures in the park are slowly beginning to notice the newcomers. The days are growing shorter and the weather is turning colder. It is time to prepare for winter and these young creatures might make a tasty meal. Along with the potentially dangerous wildlife to avoid, there are also tourists and park rangers to evade.

The Head Librarian has cloaked the woodland creatures so that they seem like the animals that the park rangers and tourists would expect but there are limits to these disguises. If an unsuspecting visitor chanced upon the animals, they might hear something unexpected. The Librarians would prefer that none of the locals have a conversation with Thumper but he is a chatty rabbit.

Your team will enter through the blue white portal and step out into one of the meadows in Yellowstone Park. Find the woodland creatures before they encounter a danger they cannot escape … catch them. Bring them back to safety and make sure that nothing or no one harms them.

[OOC: This is for Team: Bambi Squad only. You will play out tracking our woodland friends, collecting Bambi and the other creatures from the Forest, and returning them home. This is ONLY for team work and getting things done. If you have questions, you can call for Bob the Skull or The Cat to help you. Bob will be running communications. Once you finish the event (or at the same time if you will), patrons may use this time to use portals to enter Modern day Yellowstone National Park and visit the tourist areas, shops, lodges, and restaurants in a private log. But not in the team log.]

Update!  To help the event conclude, options are being provided to help organize the groups.  These can be tagged meme style to help give more structure to the tasks.  Current threads can be completed and new ones started. 

Options

1.  Finding Bambi and Faline!  Is it really that easy to tell two talking deer from the rest of the herd?  Now you get to find out!

2.  Wrangling the Woodland Friends!  Thumper, Flower, Friend Owl need to be gathered up so that they can return home.  Be careful that you don't frighten them away!

3.  Avoiding the Locals!  Please keep the park rangers and tourists from noticing the talking animals.  That's not as easy to explain away as some might think.

4.  Fending off the Wildlife!  Yellowstone has its share of carnivores.  Make sure the wolves, cougars, and other predators don't find a tasty storybook snack.

Re: Wild Card! Calling Bob!

Bob takes a second to answer and when he does his voice is full to the brim with great amusement. "What got on the wrong side of a cat Pepe," he teases, "but being serious for a second, tomato juice. Or pulp that's supposed to be helpful."

[magnus_bane]

"You're hilarious. I will put you in tupperware if you call me Penelope Cat. As long as we understand that, I will gladly take your insults." He would take that insult, too... but he had to pretend it slightly annoyed. Which came naturally at the thought of bathing in tomato juice. "Trading one rancid smell for another. Are you sure that's not just some myth?"

[harrys_skull]

"Hey, hey," Bob says, "you are neck deep in animals do you honestly want to risk a stampede if you try a spell and it goes south on you. I doubt you'd be anyone's favorite person if you deep fried Thumper by accident. I'd try the fruit."

[magnus_bane]

"I did... well.. zap a moose. It's only temporary and he had it coming." Evil creature. How dare he charge him just because he walked by him. Okay, maybe if he had been paying attention to the gigantic creature, he could have made a wider arch. But he refused to admit that. "I do hear that rabbit tastes great chicken fried." Smirking, he paused then nodded. "I suppose so... if it doesn't and you said it would just to get me stained with tomato juice, we shall have intense words." Not that he thought Bob was being cruel. Well.. he could be. He'd be tempted to be in the other's position.

[harrys_skull]

"Okay...you are weird," Bob says with a chuckle, 'please tell me you haven't eaten the moose...heard moose meat is tough and super gamey. Come on Mags man up and find some tomatoes before you attract flies."

[magnus_bane]

"Says the talking skull with glowing eyes." He waved it off flippantly and smirked just a little at the screen. "No. Just turned it into a smaller manageable size and sent it on its way. It will revert back in a short while." Sighing dramatically, he rolled his eyes. "I've been sprayed by a skunk, not killed and left as carrion..." Though... he kind of smelled like a rotting body. Just. Ew. "I'll give it a shot. Just be happy you likely can't smell this... stench."

[harrys_skull]

"Never been glader to have no nose anymore," Bob says, "other then getting sprayed how is team Bambi doing so far?"
