"Welcome welcome!! Thank you for volunteering, you must be here in response to my ads!"
As your beblune arrives in the familiar fairgrounds at the edge of Mistmarsh just in time for the normal hallows eve festivities, they find that the decorations that normally adorn the area have been hastily replaced, and instead the area seems to be full of... Scientific equipment? Standing at the entrance of the grounds is a brown and green tusked beblune, seeming like she was eagerly awaiting your arrival.
"I know it's been quite some time since we last saw each other!"
-you're not quite sure if you've ever met this beblune-
"We ran into a bit of trouble after our last breakthrough didn't we?"
-what is she talking about?-
"There's lots of work to be done!! Thankfully I have some assistants to help, but you know how humans are. So small, so weak. So.. delicate." The brown beblune waves her paw at a number of humans busying themselves around the grounds: Unpacking boxes, setting up testing materials, taking notes.
"Cinnie we're just about done with preparations, we just need to know where you'd like to keep the.." The human woman pauses and glances at the group of confused beblune that have gathered. "Special ingredients."
Cinnie sighs and shakes her head, pointing over at an undiscernible work station. "Over there of course! It's so difficult to find good help these days." She huffs, turning back to the gathered group of confused beblune.
"As a refresher, I am sure that I am not the only one who has noticed a sudden increase in the recent years of strange and unusual mutations and traits in the population?" Her eyes scan the crowd, nodding to herself as she confirms that there are plenty of beblune in the mix that match her statement. "I believe there is a reason for this, but I need some volunteers to help prove my hypothesis. What is my hypothesis? Well if I told you you might try to claim it as your own idea! Now, I need some of you to remain here in the laboratory space to run some tests, and a select few of you to head out into the marsh to look out for anything out of the ordinary. I recently heard of a sudden spike of mutations occurring in the growing youth in this area, and I need extra sets of eyes to look for anything unusual that may be linked to the event! Sort out amongst yourselves what you would like to take part in, and sign up with one of the assistants when you've decided. Whoever is brave enough to pursue unknown knowledge come with me!"
This is a canon event! Anything that happens to your beblune in the main story line is considered canon. Your beblune may be injured depending on the actions taken!

Cinnie's assistant has asked you to follow the written directions on the table to create a few formulas for her to run some tests later... But nothing is labeled and the instructions look like they are from BebKea at best. What are the results? Did they make glitter glue or did they switch souls with a human?

As most beblune break off the original group to help out around the research camp, some beblune gather to organize and explore the surrounding area of Mistmarsh for clues as to why the locals have been popping up with strange mutations. Nervous murmurs pass through the crowd as they look out over the obscured landscape, unsure of what secrets might await them within the marshlands.
"Now be careful out there, not only is there quicksand and mud to worry about, there's also plenty of wildlife that primarily eat critters that become stuck in the mud! And absolutely avoid flying! Kicking up the mist with your wings can disorientate the best of fliers, and you don't want to go flying straight into a tree or into the ground like the last group!" Cinnie instructed, sitting on her haunches with a clipboard in paw.
"Bring back anything interesting that you find for me to document. I'm certain a breakthrough is just at the tips of my paws!"
Cinnie has several theories on what may be causing the sudden uptick in mutations in the area, and has tasked you with searching for any leads or clues in the area. Be careful, the marsh is treacherous and it's easy for you to lose your way...
Minimum: A colored full body of your beblune with basic shading and a low detail background heading out into Mistmarsh in search of clues that may lead to discovering what is mutating beblune in the area.
Or a 500+ word entry with descriptions of the environment of Mistmarsh and any clues that your beb may find.

A heavy fog has blanketed the area, and now you're not so sure where you are or how to get back to the faire grounds... Your paws squelch heavily through the mud and muck as you try to catch your bearings, when you begin to notice that the grasses and reeds are starting to look quite.. different than they were when you left. Strange shapes, a shift in color, a soft glow, a gentle hum, the flora in this spot is odd indeed. This must be a sign, you should take some samples while you wait for the fog to break.
Minimum: A colored half body of your beblune with basic shading, a small prop (strange plant) and a low detail background
Or a 500+ word entry describing the strange environment and the samples your beblune collects to bring back to Cinnie
