The Festival of Abundance has traditionally celebrated the life blossoming in the swamp when winter has waned. It's a time of courtship and hard partying, and the most popular courtship gift is a bundle of white flowers. At this time of year, kin and animals alike with white or green pelts receive quite a bit more attention than usual.
This year, though, collecting lots of white flowers won't just get you brownie points for that doe you're trying to impress. It seems a number of pristine white pets are hiding among the flowers...

INSTRUCTIONS This game is ongoing, and you'll be able to participate as often or as little as you'd like to get a beautiful white familiar for your kin. To play, make a new thread in this forum titled [FoA] White Flower Game (username).
In this game, you'll roll dice to collect flowers, with the aim of collecting enough flowers to obtain a white familiar. You may try three times per day, in a location of your choice from the list below. You can stay in the same location, or change locations as often as you'd like - they're purely for flavor, in case you do want to roleplay. Make sure to keep count of your flower total in your posts!
Locations
Magnolia Grove A cluster of white magnolia trees stands to the north of Ghost Turtle's mound. It's known for lush, white blooms, but the problem is that it's well-known: everyone will be searching there, which means that the nicest flowers are likely to have been picked through. Who knows, though - you might get lucky! To search for flowers in the magnolia grove, roll one four-sided die and check the list below to see how many you've found. +0 flowers. +0 flowers. +7 flowers. +1 flower.
Riverbed Honestly, there aren't very many species of white flowers that grow by this particular river. But they tend to grow in clusters, when they are here, and the relative scarcity means no one else will be looking here, so the flowers you'll find are going to be yours alone. Why not give it a try? To search for flowers by the riverbed, roll one six-sided die and check the list below to see how many you've found. +4 flowers. +0 flowers. +0 flowers. +3 flowers. +2 flowers. +3 flowers.
Hilltop There aren't very many hills in the swamp, but plants definitely grow on them. Making your way up the hill is a bit of a trek, and white flowers definitely don't grow in lush groups, but the ones you can scrounge up look perfectly lovely. The bigger problem is really sorting through all of these for the ones that look most white. To search for flowers on the hilltop, roll one eight-sided die and check the list below to see how many you've found. +1 flower. +3 flowers. +4 flowers. +3 flowers. +2 flowers. +0 flowers. +2 flowers. +1 flower.
Available familiars are in the post below - there's only one of each, though!
Roleplay is not required for this event, although you may want to check out our Festival of Abundance event prompts to figure out what your kin might do with the flowers they have collected.
