Who?: Ward, Kara, and Tommy.
What?: A surprise -ish birthday party.
When?: Backdated to January.
Summary: Ward and Kara talk, plan a party for his brother. Then there's a brother and a party. Feel free to stumble into the party accidentally on purpose. There's basically 2 threads.

The last party that Grant attended for any of his family was an electoral race just before they sent him off to military school. Apart from the disgruntled looks and annoyed, angry expressions cast in his direction all he'd done was sit and drink punch quietly in the corner worried that Christian would turn his eye to him.

That was years ago.

The last birthday party that he had been to for any of his family was lost to his rather fractured memory. That had motivated him to check dates - to ask Kara, to try and have something normal - only to realize that Tommy's birthday had passed. Just barely.

This - could not stand.

He walked back to his room, resolving to plan a party for him.

The Main Reception area was filled with the sound of barking and meowing. Occasionally there was a crash followed by a long suffering sigh from the Non-Fiction Librarian. The Cat stalked along the edge of the desk, trilling occasionally to keep the animals from being too energetic with the precious books and to keep them from wandering too far from where the patrons might find them. Each one would eventually choose the patron best suited to his or her personality. They would find homes where they would be welcomed and cared for. Until then, the Cat would wait at his post, keeping an eye on their guests until everyone who wanted a companion had found the one meant for them.

Who: Ben Sisko and all greeters
What: Arrival
When: Today
Where: Main hall of the library
Warning: None

The first thing Ben noticed as he woke up was that it was night. He was used to looking up at starfilled skies, with his years in Starfleet both on ships and his years on Deep Space Nine. It took some time however for his eyes to re-adjust, having not used corporeal vision in... a while. 'Damnable non-linear existances.' He thought to himself before he groaned, trying to sit up. It was as he did that he noticed he was still in his uniform, as he had been in the Fire Caves. Getting to his feet, he notices the astrolabe, and that it was of no solar system in the quadrants of space he was familiar with. 'Well we're not on Bajor anymore...' He brushed off the gaberdine of the uniform jacket, his eyes adjusting to the lights around him.

'Some sort of library. Not like anything on Bajor, looks more like something from Earth.' He began to walk around the astrolabe, using it as a central point as he tried to get his bearings. "Hello? Is anyone here?" He would call out occasionally, while walking, waiting to see just what he would come across.

The cold presence is seeping in through the dark shadows. The darkness is reaching further, brushing the minds of the patrons and opening doors to dimensions that should not be open. Something wants in. But in the Central Library, there are ways to get through without crossing entirely… through your dreams. Among other things.

Pick one of the options below and make a post for other patrons to join you in the events. You may make up your own, but keep it matching the event at hand as the different phases of the event will progressively get worse.

1. Your dreams are getting dangerous, violent even. When you wake up, there are bruises and injuries that shouldn’t be there. What is going on? Why are your dreams becoming a reality little by little? And why is it getting so hard to wake up?

2. Things are shifting in the Library. The shadows are moving and the temperatures are starting to drop. There are cold spots that sometimes get colder and sometimes it feels like if you turn around, you’ll find someone right behind you.

3. The monsters are looking a bit more frantic and daring to come closer to the center of the Library where they normally will not tread. It seems you aren’t the only ones scared of the dark recesses any longer.

4. The Market is now a lovely little faire of the early Renaissance with all sorts of fresh grain, fruits and vegetables! It is a brilliant sight, but it seems the ominous plague masks they don still gives a foreboding feeling of the miasma that killed over two-thirds of the world’s population… Perhaps you shouldn’t wander very far.

5. New areas are now opened up. A blacksmith and workshop for the tinkers has been created. You might want to look or contribute... You might also want to stop in the new bath area. The large pool has a Grecian feel and all of the walls are made of crystalline glass where the stars are always shining with a different universe in constant succession.

6. Wild Card: Make up your own scenario. Just remember that all of the things above are happening. Things are getting foreboding and growing stronger by the day. Sleep will be a luxury you might not have… You may not see what’s coming, not yet. But you know it’s coming.

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.
