 Rise and Co. Preserved and Exotic Foods was the premiere food shop of the good swamp. Its growth had been terrifyingly weed-like, reaching across the swamp to rope in suppliers of every kind, gathering culinary talent with admiring keenness and respect. Customers couldn't avoid the lure of R&S-processed goods as they invaded every major event with samples, even teaming up with the delightful Royal Rainbow Troupe to hold one of their own. Rise & Co. - and its tribe, Rise & Shine - never rested. Rise and Co., however, was actually closed one day - news of the anomaly had been duly disseminated by its formidable number of staff. It was strange, perhaps downright bizarre, for the shop had unfailingly accommodated everyone every day: welcoming the night owls, bustling from the crack of dawn...the shop was even open during the Great Flood. When queried, the staff said this: "it's stock-taking day." And so curious kin made their way to Rise & Co. to see how the shop would be like when it was closed. Turned out it wasn't very different at all - still bustling within the shopfront's perimeter as staff weaved back and forth counting stacks of dried food and systematically rearranging the wares. Suppliers darted in and out, bringing new stock and helping with the storefront. Everything was to be accounted for, and plans were being made for spring and summer. (Friendly) staff who sighted customers smiled and apologised for the inconvenience, while welcoming their presence. Rise & Co. love to see their customers! WHAT'S UPRise & Shine are finally giving out the gorgeous Kin we got in last year's tribe contest and more! It features 6 delicious Kin, 4 scrumptious chickens, 5 crunchy mantises and 2 squishy frogs - all offers close 14 April 2013!RP with anyone for kin, mantises, to join R&S and most of all, FUN!Enter contests for the goodies! Join R&S for access to some goodies! Insidious!

FOWL PLAYKIMETI FRIED CHICKEN Pull Through came tramping in to skitter to a stop next to his sister Push Past, the danglies from his bird mask still swinging violently at his pause. " The chicken," he gasped with overtly dramatic horror, " the chicken have escaped." He turned his eyes up to the skies and clucked with dismay - not just any cluck, but a series of gurgling clucking emerging from the back of his furred throat that sounded remarkably like a slaughtered chicken (guess the chicken cry was a work in progress). " And they won't come to my call! Whatever shall we do?! However shall we find them?" Push was hardly as melodramatic - or attached to the poultry - as Pull, merely casting a thoughtful eye around the milling spectators, a crowd attracted by the promise of histrionics. "There're quite a lot of Kin around," she begin slowly, still trying to decide if it was in fact a good idea to break up the job, "maybe we could ask for help.
Many eyes must - well, should - be better than just four."Pull agreed desperately, begging: " Please, find my girls!
If they like you, you could even keep them - as long as they're safe!" PLEASE NOTE: only current members and Kin joining Rise & Shine during this event can enter for the chickens!Read up on chicken conditions here!These chickens are willing to follow any Rise & Shine tribe member, whether old or new. As long as you're a part of us and keep 'em fed. These chickens are more skittish and will only trust Kin they've seen before. Only those who have been part of the tribe before this event can try for these chickens! How to Enter- please use the following code and post your entry in-thread! You may post it with your membership application or separately afterwards. Please post this separately if you've already posted your application, Maxx might miss it out otherwise! - if you have multiple kin joining R&S, please choose 1 kin [the prospective chicken owner] to enter with. - If you're trying for one of the R&S Kin [the food Kios and Tomas], you may enter for a chicken and see if you win one of the R&S Kin. If you do not and you win a chicken you'd like to keep, you have to join R&S by the end of the event. Essentially no tribe member, no chicken.

MANTIS PARTY: RAFFLEOnce they descended close to the storefront, the ever-chipper boss of Rise & Co. freaked the heck out. They were chitinous, they had mandibles, they were buggy and very big and he had only one opinion of them: " LOCUSTS!" He reared back in utter horror. It made sense that if anything terrified the magnate of a food company it was going to be giant bugs which looked like they could eat everything in the vicinity. " NOT ON STOCK-TAKING DAY! LOCUSTS!!!" "Don't be silly, father," Beloved dipped into the swarm, regarding the curious creatures with interest, "they're...mantises. Giant praying mantises. Which are carnivorous -
mostly other insects, father, don't look so terrified, it's not becoming.
Besides, I daresay they're rather...cute. I think I shall keep you." The last was addressed to a pale, translucent specimen, shivering its ghostly wings. It clicked its mandibles, tilted its head, and stalked to her side with a chirr. She smiled. " And I shall call you Corpselight. Don't worry about a thing, father,
I'll find homes for the rest. And Run shall help me. Won't you, dear?" Run shook her head at her sister's new addition to her ghastly pets, at the bunch of massive insects and sighed before herding them out with a few well-placed hooves. " Won't anybody find yourself some buggy to love?" PLEASE NOTE: Non-tribe members can win a mantis!
However, current and new tribe members get roll priority!The roll order will be: tribe members [2 winners], new tribe members [2 winners], non-tribe member [1 winner] - for this contest, 'new tribe members' refers to new users who currently do not have Kin in-tribe. Claim your ticket by RPing in this thread, each post counts as 1 ticket.How to Enter- please include the following code in each RP post to claim a ticket. A ticket for the MANTIS PARTY!
Preference List: [ you may list as many or as little as you like -
if you're trying for the concept mantis as well, please include it in your prefs! ] [size=15][color=purple]A ticket for the [b]MANTIS PARTY[/b]! [/color][/size]
[b]Preference List:[/b] [ you may list as many or as little as you like - if you're trying for the concept mantis as well, please include it in your prefs! ] MANTIS PARTY: CONCEPT
Run finally had to touch one this time - but very carefully, for its pretty wings kept fluttering in her face
and even she had to admit that the gossamer sheen was mesmerising.
"It can't go to just anybody," she frowned at some mantis suitors and
demanded in her typical fashion, "what's so exceptional about you anyway?"
Open-winged mantises are special - they are not open and cannot be bred.
PLEASE NOTE: only current members and Kin joining Rise & Shine during this event can enter for this mantis!
How to Enter
- please use the following code and post your entry in-thread!
You may post it with your membership application or separately afterwards.

DEFROGGED RAFFLEThe key staff of Rise & Co.'s new beverages division, colloquially known as 'the drinks brothers', stood by a water cache, a phrase " not in my water," floating by - upon moving closer, the parting words " get rid of them," were snapped off by the rather more private Shaken, who turned sharply away towards the back of the shop. Stirred groaned before realising he wasn't alone, and turned to smile in his easy way, though a bit more desperate than usual. " Might you be interested in a pet frog?
They've taken up residence in an inconvenient place.
I'd rather not have them cooked - they're pretty little things... and I think they might be offspring from Fade's Frog Legs.
It could be really awkward."
PLEASE NOTE: only Kin joining Rise & Shine during this event can enter the raffle!
- for this contest, any new Kin [whether owned by users with Kin currently in R&S or not] can enter.
How to Enter
- to claim your ticket, please post the following code!
You may post it with your membership application or separately afterwards.
Please post this separately if you've already posted your application,
Maxx might miss it out otherwise!
- if you have multiple kin joining R&S, please choose 1 kin [the prospective frog owner] to claim the ticket with.
- If you're trying for one of the R&S Kin [the food Kios and Tomas],
you may claim a ticket and see if you win one of the R&S Kin.
If you do not and you win a frog you'd like to keep, you have to join R&S by the end of the event.
Essentially no tribe member, no frog.[size=15][color=cornflowerblue][b]DEFROGGER![/b][/color][/size]

FAQTook a while!I'm sorry, blue! Thanks for your patience everyone 8D;;; The qualifications are confusing!Sorry about that too! Here's a convenient summary of who can try for what, etc: KIN: everyone can try. 2 are raffle tickets via RP posts, 2 are minicontests and 2 are concept contest. CHICKEN: only tribe members can own. Old tribe members can try for all 4, new tribe members can try for 2. 'New tribe members' means new users who have not had R&S members before this event. MANTISES: Raffle - everyone can try, raffle tickets via RP posts. Rolling happens in order of tribe seniority. 2 for old tribe members first, then 2 for new tribe members [meaning new users] and 1 for non-tribe members. Concept Contest - only tribe members, new or old, can own. FROGS: raffle ticket via new membership application, new members meaning new kin, not users. Users who have kin already in R&S can get a ticket if a different kin joins R&S this event. Naturally new users can absolutely get a ticket. Hope that helps! Other questions will be added when asked!
