Evil-Eye
Look alive, folks! We've got a fresh set o' jobs ripe for the takin'!
'Cept right now, there's a bit o' a situation goin' on so I've got a set o'... special tasks for ye this month.
Turns out those Guardians were here for a lot more than just standin' around and lookin' pretty. They went 'n let us know that there may be some foul play at hand out there on a couple o' the islands.
Evil-Eye
While the Wayfarers 'n Rescuers are out doin' their thing, we've got our assignments on the Lanier Isles.
At this point, I'm sure we're all quite familiar with the place now, eh? Just make sure you don't take anythin' too valuable with ye on this trip.
✦ Missions are due on June 30th @ 11:59pm EST! You have 2 months to complete these prompts!
✦ Not all missions are submitted through the same grader! Some will go through the Dungeon Grader and some may need to go through the Daily Life Grader so be sure to use the correct one!
✦ Only Missions 01 and 02 are available right now! Mission 03 will be revealed sometime in early June and will require a collab of at least 3 people with one team from each branch!
✦ Completing all 3 Missions will net you a bonus reward! This bonus is only available to those who finish the prompts before the deadline!
✦ Only Bounty Hunter teams may complete these prompts without collabing! For Wayfarers and Rescuers to access these missions, they must collab with a Bounty Hunter team that belongs to a different user!
For completing all 3 Missions of your branch, each user may claim 1 Potion of Choice Token! To claim your reward, link to each of your mission submissions from #grading-logs in the #inventory channel!
The reward will be given to the team featured in the missions!
For example, if you link to your Bounty Hunter team's completions of Missions 01, 02, and 03, the item will be added to your Bounty Hunter team's inventory.
The reward can be claimed per user, and so a shared team may end up with up to 2 of the item reward!
Evil-Eye
There's a li'l unmarked town on Rockdale called Ashborough that's protected by this retired tournament fighter o' sorts.
She's this massive lass, built like a brick wall so I'm told. Unsurprisin' seeing as she's a Charizard, I suppose. Apparently she saved up 'n managed to get a hold of a Mega Stone some years back.
Evil-Eye
What's her name?
Er... it's... somewhere in the report, I'm sure. S'not my job to keep track of these things. Go ask Wynton or somethin'!
Evil-Eye
Anyway, that'd be all well 'n good if she didn't fly off the bloody handle and start attackin' people! She torched almost an entire block o' buildings before she ran off into the wilderness!
The runnin' theory is she's taken refuge in one o' the dungeons, but nobody in town's got any idea where she's gone.
Evil-Eye
I need the lot of you to head out to the Lanier Isles 'n start lookin' for this "champion" o' theirs. And while you're at it, the locals say this kinda behaviour came outta nowhere -- nobody's really sure what's set her off but they all seem to be sayin' it's not like her at all.
The reports say at least a handful o' citizens say they saw her eyes go white; just completely blank. And she "looked ghastly pale", whatever that means.
The lady is pretty beloved by the town. I already expect ye to know not to take things too far but given what we're dealin' with here, don't be afraid to rough her up a bit if it comes to it, yeah? After all, she's still got that Mega Stone with her...

Evil-Eye
This one comes from the Arbok from the Viper's Den. Y'know, the second-in-command to whoever's leadin' things 'round there these days -- he's asked us for help before.
We got a tip that a couple o' ruffians from the den have caught wind of some kinda creature lurkin' in the wilderness on the isles. Whatever it is, it's been leavin' the locals spooked. They're sayin' the place is haunted, but not by just any ol' ghost.
Evil-Eye
...whatever that means. I don't got the full details, alright?
All we've got t' go on are witness accounts of people bein' snatched up or disappearing. Some folks've what've gone missing have reappeared outta nowhere with a dead-eye stare like they seen somethin' that weren't meant for their eyes.
We don't know for sure if this really is the work of a ghost or some guy but Arbok's said he overheard a couple o' his own guys say they ain't lettin' the beast keep gettin' away with it.
Evil-Eye
The blokes've rounded up other likeminded mercs and are either lookin' to find and slay whatever the fiend is... or they're lookin' for some way to capture it.
Either way, we oughta go do somethin' about them. So, your job is to arrest the bastards before they someone -- or even themselves -- hurt.

Leilani
Hey everyone! I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that we've finally found a lead on that ghost that the people have been talking about! We know what it looks like and where it's most likely headed next!
Leilani
Bad news is... pretty much everything else we know about it and where it is. Something set it off really bad -- bad enough that it's finally shown itself.
It's made of these tentacles with a bulbous top that kinda looks like a hat? We've seen it floating like some kind of ghost... or jellyfish maybe. It doesn't look too tough but it's got some kind of ability to attach itself to other life forms and mess with their heads. We've been calling it the Parasite.
Normally, it's been low-key about what it's up to, but we managed to track it down after it attached itself to a really big guy and started tearing through the woods looking for something. Or... maybe someone.
Leilani
If you haven't heard from your leader yet, your little star friends went missing. One of them is on the island somewhere and Mili and I think that them showing up has something to do with why the Parasite started acting out.
The best guess I have as to where they could be is in one of the dungeons on the island but we're not sure which one. Either way, one thing's clear: it's hunting them.
So! Let's split up, find this parasite, and save the kid! You'll want to get as much help as you can get!
PROMPT
✦ Track down and battle "the Parasite" in one of the Lanier Islands dungeons!
✦ Ensure no harm comes to the Cosmog it's hunting!
✧ Note: In canon, nobody knows what a Nihilego is -- it's a completely alien entity! Characters refer to it as "the Parasite", and no knowledge or lore exists in the world about it.
REQUIREMENTS
✦ Overall: a collaboration between minimum 3 people, featuring a team from each branch
✦ Art: minimum 5 full-body characters, flat colors, simple background
✦ Writing: minimum 700 words
➢ At least 1 player character must be shown battling the Parasite, and either Cassie or Orion must be present!
Choose only one of the Cosmog NPCs, not both!
(click on the colored text / names for a visual reference of each character)
➢ This prompt must be completed in feral form!
REWARDS
✦ 1 Poison-Type Recruit Token
(can only be claimed once per user; granted to the participating team)
✦ 1 Rank Point (0.5 RP for non-Bounty Hunter teams)
(granted once per team)
✧ Partial Rewards: 1000p
(granted only when both owners of a shared team collab on the team's submission OR both owners submit different pieces for the team independently)
