June 1st to June 30th, 2022
Prompts are a monthly, non-mandatory system of small reactive events and quests that you can roleplay, write, or draw your character responding to. Quests usually influence path increases and decreases, and have the largest influence on your character's impact on the plot and how they interact with said plot.
CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH
Pride Challenge
Draw, write, or roleplay your character with their related pride flag; but you have to be creative! Show their pride through flowers around them, butterflies, or other means, don't just draw them with their flag. If your character is heterosexual-heteroromantic, draw them celebrating a loved one whose LGBTQIA+! Do not do straight pride or ally pride! This is not a thing.
For the writing challenge, write your character thinking of potential mates, or thinking of their family, and contemplating their relationships with these other characters. Maybe do a roleplay or a short story of them gathering pride-coloured flowers for a special someone, or just gathering flowers for a friend or family member that they care about!

MONTHLY COMPETITION
Adoptable NPC Collaboration
Collaborate with another member of TSL to create an application for an adoptable NPC! One person will write a minimum of 500 words for the written application (you can do this by expanding on the history and/or personality!) , and another will draw the full body reference sheet.
You can submit multiple entries but you cannot do several entries with the same person. So if you submit an application with one person and you draw the ref sheet and they write the written portion, you cannot switch and then submit a competition application which is you writing and them drawing!
These adoptable NPCs will go up for adoption after they are reviewed and approved by staff, and preference will be put towards Beyond NPC applications, especially hares and bobcats!
The best NPC adoptable will be picked by staff, and will win a whopping 100 Snail Shells, that's 50 for each participant!
Good luck!

CREATIVE PROMPT
Creative prompts are fun, easy-going prompts, which are meant to get your creative juices flowing. They are usually related to the month they take place in, or holidays within that month. Depending on your prompt response, there is a chance to get stat or ability bonuses, a path increase or decrease, or an item drop.
FIRST GROWTH
With the warmer weather in full bloom, it means that for many animals their young have begun to become more adventurous, at times able to be spotted by those that stay vigilant! How does your character react to the new life in the estuary? Does it give them hope for the future in these especially violent times?
BIRTHSTONES AND FLOWERS
With the theme of June in mind, draw, write, or roleplay something inspired by alexandrite, moonstone, pearl, rose and/or honeysuckle! Who knows, maybe you'll get an item!

Interactive Prompts
Interactive prompts are prompts that you do not need a roll to participate in. You can interpret them however you want and respond to them however you wish! Depending on your prompt response, there is a chance to get stat or ability bonuses, a path increase or decrease, or an item drop.
1.
You’re unable to leave the Guild camp alone, and this leaves you quite trapped or restless on days when you can’t quite manage to catch one of the larger patrols before they leave or join one. You can’t even go for a small walk alone around the camp, as this is still considered too much of a risk. What are you trying to do to bide your time and pass the hours when you aren’t able to leave camp or do your duties due to the restrictions?
2.
The war has made every animal tense, not just those directly involved. The reality that the Acadian Realm bobcats are being forced to kill against their own desires and morals. How does your character feel about this? Do they feel bad for the victims of this forced violence? Or do they feel like it’s the Acadian bobcats’ fault for being born to the south rather than north or west like the Bras D’or Realm or the Highland Realm? Does your character potentially want to help them?
3.
While the war and trauma unfolds all around you, the beauty of an early summer also greets you, providing plentiful prey and early herbs which wouldn’t have bloomed for several more weeks or months. The negativity of the world of the Estuary may be overpowering, but at least you can enjoy the fruits of a well timed warmer season! If you’re in a Guild, head out on a hunting party to find some prey, if you’re not in a guild, go enjoy the lovely weather and gather some herbs or food!

Sprouts (Set 1)
How are you preparing for the oncoming war, little one? Your fellow sprouts will need help with battle training, first aid, and giving moral support. If the other sprouts don't feel like practicing for potential battles, perhaps you could help your keeper reorganise their herbs, or fortify the dens alongside a giver! You may not be able to accompany in the war or in battle yourself, but it's better to be prepared than to sit around and skulk!
Corvid
Inferno
Saplings (Set 2)
Since the weather is improving and prey is plentiful, why don't you make today a productive one? It may be worth it to hone in on one of your weaker skills. If you excel at catching prey, how about requesting sparring practice with a Provider? If patrolling is wearing you down, then how about asking a Keeper or Shaman if you can help with organising? The opportunities are endless!

Coursers (Set 3)
The threat of another bobcat attack requires everyone to travel in numbers for everyone's safety, as by your Seer's orders. If you don't die while travelling alone, your Seer has stated severe consequences for putting yourself and your guild at risk. So you're sticking to travelling in groups for patrols and hunting groups! This proves useful however, as a large group gives ample opportunity to catch larger amounts of prey! Will you track animal scents for your group, or protect them from potential attackers? Will you encourage everyone to band up against a larger animal or to catch their own prey?

Sentries (Set 4)
With the potential threat of further Acadian Realm raid efforts looming heavily upon your guild, your responsibilities as a sentry have become more vital than ever! You carry the burden of being vigilant during your patrols to prevent another tragedy from befalling your guild, so leave no stone unturned and no tree unmarked! Make sure to keep track of any potential threats or signs of unwanted visitors, and stay close to any guildmates who accompany you. Never travel alone! You never know what might await you when you venture out, so be prepared to encounter both friend and foe! See if you can find any signs of trespassing from unwanted Acadian Realm visitors, and keep a good eye out for any of those coyotes- they don’t seem as aggressive as previously thought.

Keepers (Set 5)
With the Guilds preparing for war, it’s important to stock your herb supply and ensure you have all the necessary herbs to heal injured cats. However, it’s equally important that you know how to fight as it’s unlikely you’ll be sitting on the sidelines watching from afar, especially with how direct and targeted the bobcat attacks have been; being that they typically target cats who don’t fight quite so well. You’ve been taught basic fighting and means to defend yourself in the event you’re attacked, but now has come the time to learn how to properly fight. Try pairing with one of your Guild’s sentries and have them assist you in your training!

Seers (Set 6)
The Guilds have begun to get more innovative with technology and developing new tools to help assist with specific tasks. This includes stealing a large number of human items or going through trash to find useful objects. With the bobcats causing so much agony and chaos to your guild, it’s probably good to get your mind off of patrolling and hunting now and again so the stress doesn’t overwhelm you. Head down to the trailer park to see if you can find some useful trinkets for your guild, the bobcats don’t go in the trailer park, so you should be fine!

Outsiders (Set 7)
You've heard of bobcats attacking the guilds in the past, but the news of the recent deaths in every Guild has you a bit on edge. From what you know, the attacks were aggressive and brutal, and for all you know, could easily happen to you. You're on your own and don't have the same protection offered by the Guilds to rely on. Do you think now is the time to join one, or do you believe you'll be able to fend for yourself in what seems to be a likely event of being attacked? What do you decide to do to protect yourself? If you're not a cat, and can't join a Guild, what are you doing to avoid the deadly claws of the Acadian Realm? How are you holding up in these times of war?

Unique Prompts
When you've been assigned your quests, you can request a private thread be opened in the #tickets channel. When this thread is opened, you'll be given a number that's rolled for you, if you roll a 1 or a 20, you'll get a unique alternative quest for your quest! Staff will give you the unique alternative quest, but remember, threads archive after 7 days, so you have 7 days to respond to the quest before the ticket is archived and you lose the opportunity!
Unique quests often have rewards like rare one-time plot reveals, getting the chance to change the plot, item drops, or dramatic path increase or decreases! You can only get one 1 or 20 roll every other month, so remember not to open any threads the month after you got a 1 or a 20, and to wait a month in between your 1 and 20 rolls. You can try as many times as you have cats registered for quests though!

Events
Guild Events are guild-wide events specific to that guild which happen about once every 2-3 months, these usually result in path advancements, and involve the cats making difficult decisions or reacting to difficult situations.
Server-Wide Events, or just simply 'Events', are events which effect every single guild and every single cat outside of the guild. These will involve mass mentions on the impact they have on each guild and cat.
