Raffles & Giveaways

@Ackie it is 2:30 AM and I took tomorrow off so I am not worried but MY!! eyes are Swirl right now ROFLLLLL.

Wait really? Hmmm.

@OnceWorried I keep trying to get out of The Organization but they keep dragging me back in JK, all good, glad you are excited. Ah, no, for eyes you said Common on that guess instead of Other.

And yeah, so many nests where it never made it to a tiebreaker and then a 6-way runoff across extra categories

@ElysiumSanctum it doesn’t affect the outcome but since Vials of Hypnotic Sight are only 3k, did you give these hatchlings an extra cool gift or did that happen with incredible luck like getting 2 Wildclaws?

I did have a bunch of hypnotic vials up for sale and they all went poof, so it seems swirl eyes are all the rage at the moment! =3 New babies are so darling [emoji=familiar heart size=1]

Definitely forgot to actually answer the question yesterday

Thursday Q.O.T.D. - In honor of this subspecies whose flowers are essentially their soul, were flowers ever important to you? Given at a key event, grown somewhere memorable?

Flowers are very important to me! I love to give them, I love to receive them, I love to see them, I love to be around them!! I've had many important moments in my life where flowers played a roll. When my partner proposed to me, she gave me a single red carnation. I think of it often. :)
I also have some lovely paper, wooden, and dried flowers!

[quote]In honor of this muddled cross-breeding, what’s a combination that sounds lousy but could be great? (snacks, music remixes, crossovers...)[/quote] Symbiotic relationships allow certain animals that don't seem like they'd get along to help each other out, which I think is awesome! A famous example is the Egyptian Plover and crocodiles: if you've ever seen a photo of a bird just sitting in a crocodile's mouth, that's probably an Egyptian Plover. They pick bits of food from the crocodile's teeth, and in return the crocodile gets free dental services! Nature is pretty cool :)

[/quote] @NerdMom Big part of my personal clan lore is that the leader will give deserving dragons the swirled sight (I added the vial of hypnotic sight, they were all common eyes to begin with so I thought it wouldnt be a bad change ^-^)

Friday QOTD crossover - I once thought electronic music x classical would be crazy, but found out it’s already a thing. For one, songs from Dance Dance Revolution such as V For Extreme - this is based on Vivaldi’s “Winter”

@ElysiumSanctum TY for sating my and @Ackie ‘s curiosity! That is an awesome feature in your clan lore. Respect! I also think it vibes well with the the subspecies, not that I know anything about the Thousand Currents but that maybe the gift related to that.

@OnceWorried you asked if you had a perfect streak in EVERYYYYYYYYYYYY question after getting into the nitty gritty tie-breakers. You were right. You did hit every one. They WERE originally Common (as your guess for this entry).

RNG is HILARIOUS, like people say that something is “impossible” but no just maybe 1 in 10,000 times.
