God's Garden Altar
10-17-2022, 03:59 PM
God's Garden and the surrounding lands of Amron’s Castle, Starlight Plains, Cedar Falls, Fossil Ridge, Wraith’s Woods, and Aspen Dam are all affected by a magical autumn. Additionally each land seems to have become overrun with new and flourishing plant growth. Berries that shouldn't be in season are at peak ripeness. Flowers normally relegated to other climates are prospering, bees floating lazily between unfamiliar blooms - and delicious creatures of prey are everywhere. Animals are procreating out of season, making them unusually bold. Hidden nests are flush with new clutches of eggs. In the center of the green, green garden you find a statue:
A wolf carved from smooth alabaster seems to grow straight out of the ground. There is a warm, maternal energy that seems to emanate from it. Two adoring puppies are placed at its feet, glancing upwards toward the central figure. A few stripped carcasses lie around their feet - some of them are certainly bones, but others appear as if they might be carved from the same white stone. It's difficult to tell. Thick, healthy creeping vines twine around the main figure's paws and legs, ending in delicate leaves. The earth beneath it is fragrant, freshly turned soil - perfect for encouraging growth. The air is heavy with the herbaceous smell of new plant life.
There is a circle of antlers surrounding a small divot of soil that has been carved away at the statue's paws which you assume is the altar and a small, fuzzy creature that looks like some strange cousin of the shrew is gesturing for a group of other familiars with its tiny paws: cats, ferrets, rats, and a few ravens (you could have sworn you saw a toad wriggle into the dirt nearby...), to shuffle decorations around as new ones are being added by others. Before your eyes, an impressive litter of twenty three of the same little fuzzy creature assemble before you. "What's the matter, honey? Are you surprised? Us tailless tenrecs have awfully big families, but many little paws make light work! Come, come, little ones! Let's help decorate!" says the largest in a sweet, guileless tone. You approach with your decoration of choice.

Make an IC post in this thread of your character decorating the altar or statue found in the God's Garden. Each character may only decorate one altar. Each player may only participate in six total events this week. Note: For the purpose of not making people read and memorize every single post, you can assume the familiars are actively shuffling things around to make more room, and it’s totally fine to say that you put down flowers on the same area where someone else just put a pelt. Collaboration and discussion between site members is not required, though it is allowed!
Deadline for decorating: October 23rd 9PM PST
All submissions must be posted by the deadline with no exceptions
