Skill Prompts are a monthly feature that allow your character to gain skills in different ways. <b>Each <u>character</u> can only complete ONE prompt per season</b>, and can be completed either in a solo post or in a group thread. You cannot claim these posts for other skill points! Please note that as long as you complete the objectives, you're free to be creative with your posts and have some fun with these prompts!

For <b>solo posts</b>, you must complete the entire prompt in <b>one post</b>. Of course, you can use these posts as thread starters and continue the thread as usual, but no other skills may be claimed by you from that thread.

For <b>group threads</b>, the word count is <b>cumulative</b> and will be counted over all participants. However, participants must be ACTIVELY trying to complete the skill prompt for their words to count. <u>Note that group threads have a maximum of 3 allowed participants unless otherwise specified.</u>

<span class="warning">This season, we're allowing you to <b>mix prompts</b>! While your character may only claim one skill, you are free to team up with others working on other prompts as long as your character focuses on their skill! Have fun!</span>

<div class=tcat>Hunting</div>

<u>Buzz Off, Beekeeper:</u> Hunting isn't always about taking down big, strong prey animals. Sometimes you might get tangled up in something a little more.. sticky.

2. What do you do with it? Jostle it to see what comes out? Maybe you're trying to get a taste of the honey inside?
3. Show the result of your inspection. Does a wild swarm of bees chase you away? Do you capture them?
