❪ mini-event ❫ OLYMPIA QUESTS: 1
It isn’t easy starting life in a new place. It quickly becomes apparent that you are in dire need of two very important things: money and a good name. In addition to full-time jobs, certain people in Olympia will reward handsomely for helping them with tasks. Submit any AC eligible thread of participating in this log's prompts for One (1) Olympia REP point HERE. Threads involving your flora/fauna submission may also be submitted, even if your submission is not made official game canon.
FOR THE RECORD ![]() It’s time to put on your hiking shoes. Characters will be approached by both Evras and Lysa at separate times. Both individuals are interested in recording species of plants and animals-- El Nysa is bursting with all sorts of life, after all! It is impossible to chronicle all of it without help. You will be provided with a journal to chronicle your findings. Each submission pays 100 silver. OOC: We need YOUR help in worldbuilding the area in and around Olympia and The Outlook! Create a creature or plant and submit it HERE by August 31st at 11:59 PM EST. ONE entry per character only. NOTE: If you have accepted a job at The Sanctuary or Simwe Institute, you MUST submit your entry to your boss to maintain your position. You may assume a character got the job if they established contact, even if an official offer hasn't been extended yet. Although an entry will net you TWO (2) Olympia REP points no matter what, we will be choosing a maximum of 20 entries to include in the official bestiary for future encounters. THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
Along with the request to record traits of a certain specimen, Evras and Lysa independently ask for more quick favors. Certain species, due to their unique natures, aren’t as prone to procreating as one would hope. They need your help. The directions for these requests, provided by Evras or Lysa, are simple. You will be provided a small amount of heavy aphrodisiacs (and a mask) to spray in a particular region. Because the natural aphrodisiacs of the island run a bit thin there, the wildlife has been less... willing to comply. Each species you help will net you 50 silver. Three species in particular are in need of a little help.
Note: There will be a mask provided. Forgetting it may mean you start to feel some of the effects yourself. You may also be immune. Please put appropriate warnings in threads if applicable. ![]() Xlarix, also commonly referred to as the love bug. Found in MURKWELL HOLLOW. ![]() Sepht, found in EDRATHE RUINS: Both shy and antisocial, it’s no wonder these little marsupials don’t have much luck in the mating department. They prefer to live in isolation, and are much more concerned with hoarding everything they can get their hands on. This includes stealing anything you may have brought with you. As a warning, they are incredibly strong. They can also fly, so good luck catching them after they’ve made off with your stuff. Let’s hope you can get back that magical sword or enchanted necklace of yours. ![]() Cinjaw, found JUST OUTSIDE OLYMPIA. Domestic animals kept by local farmers in the outskirts of Olympia. These guys are just really, really lazy. Too lazy to care about things like passing on their genes. Honestly, if it weren’t for the efforts of humans and the fact that their meat is too delicious for the Olympians to allow these creatures to go extinct, they would have been wiped out years ago. HELP A NEIGHBOR
Being new is tough in any given neighborhood. This is especially the case when you’re a newly arrived refugee. Though you’ve been welcomed here, you haven’t established a lot of trust in the community. Your neighbors don’t know a single thing about you, and that name tag fiasco doesn’t count.
Fortunately for all of you, the rule of this game is simple. There is no monetary payment, but isn't it priceless to feel good about being a good samaritan? Make yourself helpful. Did you neighbor mention wanting to take their pet chicken out on a walk? Offer to do it for them and they may pay you back in a meal or a small gift. Did one of them mention needing help with rearranging their collection of thousands of cat figurines? Well, who better than to ask but you! You over there, why not help your fellow refugee by doing this task together? It never hurt to do some teamwork. Or maybe your roommate is the one taking that chicken out on a walk, and you’re just ready to judge. Complete judgment. But hey, that’s fair. BLOOD BANK
CW: Needles, Blood
One of the things that quickly becomes apparent about life in Olympia is that all citizens are welcome, including those who may possess unique dietary requirements. The Blood Bank is an institution that has stood proudly for many years, and in addition to providing meals for some of its citizens, the supply is invaluable for care in The Sanctuary, research in Simwe Institute, and for use in certain types of magic. They're offering you a special today, for your blood in particular! You just look so... healthy and able-bodied. Donate a few pints, and you'll earn an easy 200 silver. Unfortunately, the center is so busy today that they've had to call on volunteers, and depending on who you've met so far, your particular volunteer may look familiar. It's... another refugee. Wait, are they even qualified?! How did they even get roped into this?! Qualified or not, the job pays well for both the refugees donating, and the ones drawing the blood (much more for whoever's donating, though. Fair is fair.). A blood drawing set inclusive of clean needles, antiseptic swabs and a blood storage kit, will be provided. Sticking a needle into a vein isn't as easy as those people in the Sanctuary make it seem, though. You may not always get it the first time, so try, try again! And if you still can't hit the bulls-eye? A rogue-looking Olympian "volunteer" approaches and hands you a knife. Apparently, cutting right into the vein and collecting the blood in a saucer also works; the staff would only need to sterilize the blood with a spell afterward. And about the gaping wound you'd cause? They always have healing potions on hand for when things go wrong (but just like the potions from before, they have been known to cause some nausea). You'll do anything to help your fellow Olympian, right? OOC
There are a total of 3 OLYMPIA REP POINTS possible to earn in this log. 2 from OOCly submitting a flora/fauna above in For the Record, and 1 for submitting any AC-length thread for any of these prompts. You may do one or the other, or both. Submit a flora/fauna HERE and submit an AC-eligible thread HERE by AUGUST 31st 11:59 PM EST.
The results of The Birds and the Bees will be submitted to whoever you submit a flora/fauna entry to. If you do not submit a flora/fauna entry, submission to either one may be handwaved. In the event of CAPTCHA, we will be providing an overflow. In the event of a second CAPTCHA, players are advised to move threads to an overflow post on their character journals. These threads remain eligible for AC, AC Rewards, and REP. 1 SILVER = 1 US DOLLAR.

iii - i said this would happen
plus, they look super cool. ]
He-ee-ey there, ladies! [ left shark slides up to a couple of women walking down the street, effectively getting their attention. ] Why don't you head on down to Smiley Sal's Seafood! You won't believe your eyes as soon as you sea all this food!
[ hah haa hah...ha. ]
i'm so grateful for everything about this
Not to cast doubt on his motives, however, he hasn't asked about it. He's in the zone right now anyway. Running his mouth and playing on words? He could do this all day. ]
Thaaaat's right! [ Right shark crosses his arms (fins?). ] There's nothing fishy about this offer! Fifty percent off salmon when you buy a pound of cod! Don't let salmon else get the fish you deserve!
✨
to their credit, the gaggle of women they'd approached laugh quietly among themselves in response. maybe olympians love puns! ]
And if you act now, you'll be sure to get a whale of a deal!
[ here he winks, because his usual fingerguns are sadly lost in his fins. ]
no subject
Smiley Sal might just throw in a crab or two just for the halibut!
[ This is actually not true. He knows of no such deal. But it was too good of an opportunity to pass up, you know? ]
no subject
Uh — yeah! You never know what Smiley Sal's gonna shell you when you walk in his store!
[ in prompto's defense, the group of girls don't really seem all that interested in seafood... they've gathered closer now, oohing and ahhing over their costumes. ah. ]
no subject
Don't be koi! You've never seen savings on this scale.
[ He gestures with his arm-fins to punctuate this point. They seem more impressed with the workmanship of the costume than his puns, but who can blame them? This thing is high-quality. ]
no subject
Y-Yeah, it's, uh. [ oh god one of them is sniffing him. PROMPTO, HELP. IS THIS GOOD? ] It's a fin/fin situation...!
no subject
Shuffling backwards with a nervous laugh now, ABORT THE MISSION, THERE'S SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON HERE ]
Uhh - a-anyway! Go get hooked at Smiley Sal's! Sea ya!
[ Only one of those was intentional, he swears. ]
no subject
Yeah, uh. What he said!
[ nope, nope, he's out of puns, his self-preservation has kicked in and now he's gotta jet. he jobs after the other boy, only picking up speed once they're side-by-side. ]
Dude. Dude. I think they were gonna eat us. And, like. Not in the fun way!
no subject
He throws back the shark head of his costume so his own head is poking out the mouth. He needs some fresh air after that whole...experience. Who knew being a seafood mascot might attract actual cannibals. ]
They thought we were the catch of the day, man! [ Were their puns too good? You know - he's not sure he wants to find out. ]
no subject
I mean I knew I was a great catch, but I didn't think they'd take it so literally... [ hah. ]
no subject
Okay, but really, about that mortal peril. ]
Seriously though, what was up with that?! Is...there some sort of people-eating thing going on around here? [ It's called "cannibalism", Prompto. ]
no subject
or. aggressive waddling. these shark costumes aren't exactly made for mobility. ]
Well, I mean technically they're not humans, so maybe they're aliens that just eat other aliens? Isn't that just like humans eating animals? Or is it different because we have a conscience... [ HIS BRAIN HURTS. ] What if they thought we were real sharks?!
no subject
I mean, it's possible! These costumes are pretty convincing, dude!
[ Like if he saw himself in the mirror, he'd had to look twice to make sure he wasn't just looking through a window at an actual...bipedal landshark. Whatever. The point is, the costumes are real good. ]
Whatever it is? I'm in noooo mood to be eaten today. Or...any day, really. I think we got out of there just in time.
...Think we'll still get paid?
no subject
We're getting paid for this??
no subject
[ Actually, now that he thinks about it...Smiley Sal hadn't said explicitly that he'd pay them in coin...maybe something like "you will be rewarded greatly" but that could be as vague as a fortune cookie. So...????? ]
...Do you think we get to keep the costumes?
[ Because. That might be payment enough. ]
no subject
Well. Seeing as how we're walking away from the place... yeah. I guess so. I think we did enough advertising to warrant that.
[ also?? they sort of just risked their lives. that's gotta be enough for a costume. ]
no subject
[ Maybe they're eating at Smiley Sal's right now! ...Hopefull....y the fish, and not Smiley Sal himself. ]
...Yeah, it's settled. I'm keeping mine.
no subject
I love sharks!
[ all in all? not a pretty bad way to end the day here. ]
no subject
[ But they're...also kind of hot, and he's feeling a little to conspicuous hanging out in a shark costume now after it almost got him eaten by girls, so he starts tugging it off. He'd just pulled it on over his regular duds anyway. ]
Next time we do this? Let's be...less good at it.
[ Because that was definitely the problem here. ]
no subject
Hah, I dunno if I can do that... It's kinda hard to just turn it off, y'know?
[ god he's so modest. look how modest he's being. ]
no subject
Hey, bro, I get it, trust me. A cool dude like you probably has the ladies on your proverbial tail all the time. [ Hopefully less literally than this most recent encounter, though.
Prompto steps out of the shark costume, tucking it under his arm. ]
1/2
ALSO PROMPTO YOU PURE SWEET SOUL, LOOK HOW HAPPY YOUR WORDS OF AFFIRMATION HAS MADE THIS DUMB BOY ]
2/2
Yeah... yeah. It's a blessing and a curse, what can I say.
[ his own shark costume he's sort of rolled up and clutched against him, one of the fins awkwardly poking out like it's stuck in a perpetual wave. ]
I'll try and keep it down next time, though. For your sake.
[ heh. ]
no subject
Probably. ]
Ha, you don't have to do that. Buuuut if I ever need a wingman, I know who to ask.
