central_librarylogs | AUGUST EVENT

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.

Hermione had heard the sound of the crying rabbit, but hadn't noticed the man, until she looked up. Her eyes softening, looking between the man, who looked heartbroken to rabbit who looked scared and hurt.

"Don't you two look a fright, what happened?" She asked, her voice gentle, soothing, non judgemental.

(It hurts so awful! It just does! Bambi! Bambi!) Ward holds the rabbit as gently as he can before looking back to her.

"I set a no kill snare just like I showed you all, but he...struggled in it. And I must have set something wrong because he...broke something in his foot I think.

The rabbit burrows into the crook of his arm, "I promised Kara I wouldn't hurt anything."

Hermione could tell the animal was trying to talk but she didn't speak rabbit, so she just looked between him and the man sympathetically. "I'm Hermione, by the way. I don't know if we met before or not." Hermione, reached out a hand for Thumper to sniff her. "If I was certain that my magic would work on a fairytaale creature, I would do a skelegrow spell."

"who's Karra?"

"Kara is my -" partner, lover, best friend, "Fiancee."

Perhaps thumper understood that because he looked up at the noise and Ward held him close.

Then he made a pained sound, looking at the poor rabbit, "I promised her I wouldn't hurt anything or anyone."

Hermione looked between the two again. "It's so nice that you have that. Sometimes, I wish I did," She spoke quietly, as to not scare the rabbit.

"I'm certain you didn't mean to, and she would understand given the circumstances right?"
