[THE [little] BAYUN SHOW]

DEADLINE:

23.59 / 11.59 PM on 31st of January 2024

[+ 24h grace period]

The picturesque lagoon was damaged by a sudden tsunami, which could not be detected in time. Fortunately, by some incredible miracle there were no casualties in this incident. Even caretaker Dylan Morris's cat, Peanut, was rescued from the lodge's roof drifting in the ocean. Many consider this a miracle.

But, let's be honest, at least part of this miracle was ensured by the fact that the Treasures of Everglade Safari Park & Hotel hadn't yet been open to the public by the time the tsunami hit. Apart from a few personnel, there were no other people on the property at the time of the incident – which made the escape to the safety way easier for everyone unlucky enough to be at the site.

However, the territory of the facility was in dire need of being cleared and restored. Unfortunately, heavy equipment could not reach the secluded lagoon in time.

Therefore, the director and owner of the hotel, Alan Swiftbird, decided to act outside the box.

He called upon an incredible living force to help. He turned to Bayun Breeders Society [BBS].

The task of the bayuns and their handlers was to help with the search and capture of exotic animals that lived within the territory of the park, to help clear the area and restore fences, and to try and help clear the way for heavy equipment stuck on narrow roads which were destroyed and cluttered with debris.
Many volunteers aside from members of BBS decided to help, for despite the commercial nature of the Treasures of Everglade project, this park was supposed to play an important role in the conservation of rare species of animals.

When the main work was completed, the Bayun Breeders Society, together with the owner of the park, decided to organize a bayun charity show. The event was supposed to take place in one of the least damaged – and since restored – areas. The stands and all the necessary elements were temporary, sometimes made from what was at hand.

So this big animal show had a very homey, cozy feel to it, not big and grand. The owner of Treasures of Everglade also gifted all the handlers who participated in the restoration of the park family vouchers worth a month's VIP stay at the Treasures of Everglade, which can be used once the park is fully restored and will finally open its doors to the public for the first time.

ENTRY [ART/LIT] REQUIREMENTS:

ART: Half or Full body, Handler visible (50% at least), BG with necessery storytelling elements, Sketchy, Coloured or Toned.

LITERATURE: 600 words (english or russian language)

HEAVY DUTY CLEANING

This action takes place way before the show. Volunteer bayun owners arrive to the damaged property of Treasures of Everglades. Often on the back of their mounts or on their own two feet as they can not get the trailers to come close enough to the territory. Pulling heavy debris, dragging away logs and rubble - that will be the reality for handlers and their beasts for the next few days.
At the sight you can meet heavy draft horses, other shedus and just volunteers who try to do what they can along with the staff members of Treasures of Everglades.

MOUNTED FISHING AND WATER FUN

There is time for work and time for rest. Even though not so much for the latter.
You just can not miss the advantage of warm ocean by your hand.
Depict your handlers fishing in Belgian style from bayun's back with baskets and nets or in a classic way with a fishing rod and some bait. Or your team taking a swim in the ocean when they are not busy with their hard work. Or maybe they prefer to just flop on the just cleaned beach?

ROUNDING UP ESCAPED ANIMALS

The Safari park is called like that for a reason. While no animals got hurt lots of enclosures sustained significant damage, letting animals loose or getting them stuck in flooded damaged enclosures without a way to get out from the dangerous conditions.
Help catch the escaped animals or rescue ones that were stuck.
* You can depict any wild animal that exists in real life, but not other shedus as the animals in need of help. You can try herd them in, lasso them, net them or dart them with tranquilizer. Thats up to you.
You can come up with any situation you'd like.
The RNG roll for a companion will not depend on which animal you will depict.

Tip-off - is a clue that when uncovered/received allows your character to complete a certain action (art/lit entry) in order to receive a hidden reward. Tip-offs are often shattered in a few pieces. Then they are written as: Tip-off 1/3 (meaning this reward will give you 1/3 of a full tip-off).
Tip-offs can vary greatly in their value and mechanics. Tip-offs are never mandatory to complete. They can be traded and stored in your bank as any other item.
Not all tip-offs can be found during one and the same event. Sometimes you might get parts of different tip-offs instead.
