While throwing out the hauting remains of your kid-bot, you find a slip of paper that was tucked into the bottom of the crate. It seems to be a survey of how well you enjoyed/performed in your roll as a lusus for a week. It promises recompense for up to seventy percent of all bot-related damage and injuries, so you hastily fill it in and send it out.
Troll in Salamire Outpost:
After returning to Byakko and shame-facedly admitting that you lost your kid-bot, she gives you a long, unreadable stare. Giving you a pat on the back, she admits she also found another crate full of miscellaneous junk, and for humouring her with the strange event, she'll let you pick through it.
Troll outside Salamire Outpost:
You have received a curious package! This heavy box was deposited on the front steps of your hive sometime since you last checked. Most likely the reason it wasn't stolen by some passing lowblood is due to the sold, hefty weight of it. The note pinned to it's side looks printed out, familiarly mass-produced, and appropriately joyless.
Troll in Salamire Outpost:
There is a large pile of curious boxes stacked in one of the public community hives! Asking around, you find out they 'fell off the back of a passing vehicle', and into the possession of Byakko. A note pinned up beside the boxes states that anyone who wants one can take one. There are also rather ragged notes pinned to the individual boxes that might read nostalgically for some.

CIVILIAN REJOICE. YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THIS YEAR'S LUSUS APPRECIATION WEEK AWARENESS RAISING SOCIAL EXPERIMENT. TO PROCEED WITH FESTIVITIES, PLEASE OPEN THE BOX AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE. DO NOT FLIP THE BOX UPSIDE DOWN. ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE EQUIPMENT RENDERS THE SAFETY MANUAL AND ALL INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS NULL AND VOID.
HAVE AN ENJOYABLE NIGHT.
Dragging the box into your hive, you pry open the lid and are faced with a small tidal wave of plastic package-nuggets. Batting them aside you find a worryingly hefty instruction manual, and a adorable robotic replica of a grub. Aww! Thumbing through the manual, which seems to be a very long list of troll diseases, fire prevention methods, and other bizzare topics, a small piece of paper slips out and falls to the ground. On it are the instructions to 'begin activation' by storing the baby in a quiet, dark place for one night. Well, looks like you at least have a starting clue on how to get this thing working!
The grub will activate on monday the 13th, and the event relating to this will run until the 18th! The activity requirement for this will be very low and not rp-focused. As always, meta-inspired prps are welcome and encouraged.

What an ... odd coccoon! Where did your grub-bot go? Hopefully you're bright enough to make the connection.

Lusus Week Instructions Lusus Appreciation Week will begin on the 13th with your baby's activation! Your troll's goal is to keep your baby alive for as long as possible! Each day the baby will perform three different actions, that you can choose to deal with via four options.
Each baby starts with 20 life points. If your baby hits zero, then it looks like you have learned how hard being a lusus really is. Also your baby is dead. Babies can lose life from being neglected, and gain life from being correctly dealt with.
The three actions will be posted at random times during the day. After the first action has been posted your babies will begin to lose life points at one per two hours until a choice has been taken. When the next action is posted, there will be a dice roll to determine what was the correct action for the previous choice.
Trolls who chose the correct action will heal their child, trolls who tried any action will simply not lose more life, and trolls who had not chosen any actions lose more life. Babies will stop 'bleeding' life when the final correct solution is posted for the night, as they have gone to sleep.
Users can have their trolls put their baby in sleep mode at any time, which means they will not lose life every two hours or due to missing prompt replies. The user cannot select actions until the baby is woken up, and skipped actions will not count towards their final score.
Users do not have to include roleplay in their choices, as the idea is to pick a response and post it as fast and quickly as possible. However, prizes from this include a solo rp of this event that counts for growth. If users complete a mini-meta inspired prp sometime this month, they will also be allowed to claim a bonus in terms of end-game prizes.
HOW TO PLAY 1) Watch for a new baby event 2) Use the code below to select your response to the new baby event 3) Go back to 1
LIFE POINT TALLIES You are in charge of keeping track of your baby's life points. All babies start at 20 life. -1 life for every 2h between a new baby event and your response. -1 life for missing a baby event, if your baby is not in sleep mode. +2 life for choosing the correct option for the previous event.
SLEEP MODE Babies will loose no life while in sleep mode. No baby events that began while your baby was in sleep mode can be responded to.
CODES Please include the tracker code with each reply. These will be included in every event post.

It is way, way too early in the evening. You're usually still snug and comfortably dozing in your recuperation, but something has woken you up. A low, deep buzzing noise, that climbs up through the ground and makes your teeth rattle. You blearily haul yourself out of your slime-y doze and stumble around your hive in search of the cause. Eventually, you think to check in the place you stored your adorable, peaceful, quiet grub-bot.
IT IS EARLY EVENING!
YOUR KID-BOT IS: Vibrating gently accross the floor, making deep distressing buzzing noises.
DAILY REACTIONS: 1) Bounce it on your knee. 2) Pat it encouragingly. 3) Try and feed it some grubloaf. 4) Put a pillow over it.

Lusus: Lutrin Weesil Life: 20 Option: 2 Event: Mon Jun 13, 2016 3:57 am Response: Mon Jun 13, 2016 5:13 am
Lutrin crawled out of her recuperacoon with a moan. After flopping around on the floor like a fish beast for several minutes, she finally worked her way over to the grub-bot. She patted its face a few times before falling over its lap.

Lusus: Autumn Vikare Life: 20 Option: 3 Event: Mon Jun 13, 2016 3:57 am Response: Mon Jun 13, 2016 5:13 am
Autumn awoke to a low buzz accompanied by incessant squeaking. Pulling herself out of her recuperacoon, she half fluttered and half-tumbled down from the loft. The grub-bot's eyes glowed in the dim light of evening from across the hive. Sighing, Autumn pulled open the door to the thermal hull and came out with a slightly old slice of grub loaf.
