There aren't really 'seasons' on the Sapling islands. They're much too close to the equator for that. If you like variety in your weather, you must move from region to region.
There did seem to be, however, a time of year when the fruit bushes on the south-west island produced the best fruit of the season. Tomahawk didn't want such fruit to go to waste. On the edge of the forest, he'd begun to gather in the crop, and had spread the word to saplings on all the islands that there would be a fruit-feast in the area.
Now, though, seeing at all the assembled saplings, that didn't necessarily seem like such a good idea. He looked down at his fruit piles... and looked up at the assembled crowd. Ooops...
Oh my, Tom's got himself in a predicament. Now he has to run in and out of the forest to gather food for the guests, and there's hardly any time to socialize.
If you see a staff member post a fruit in the main thread, hurry your sapling over here and post a bit of RP of your sapling eating that fruit. (Or if you don't have a sapling, play as a woodland creature.) Blackberries are worth three points; cherries, two; and strawberries, one. The person with the most points at the end of the event wins one free semi-custom from Milorganite.
If it seems like you'll never catch up points-wise, don't stop participating! There might be some other prizes thrown out for participants, too... And you're encouraged to RP even when there aren't any fruits to claim.
Points List: Kitty Sprightt: 3 pts EverlastingRitz: 8 pts xxgekokujyou: 2pts Scaramouche Fandango: 3pts fruit brush credit goes to dead-brushes -- find them here.

Footpad was lounging in the sunlight, enjoying the attentions of the host of this grand soiree. To eat such fine fruit, and to have them brought to her as she lay in soft grass and brilliant light? She could get used to this, oh yes she could.
As Tomohawk was walking by with a load of cherries on a large leaf dragging behind him, she lazily stretched out her paw and snagged a few. The red fruits were delicious, if a little hazardous to chew. She ate them with relish and caution, swallowing them pit and all, not caring to spit them back out.

Arden bounced around happily sniffing at all the fruit. She caught glimpse of red moving out of the corner of her eye. "Strawberry!" she shouted pouncing on the pile Tomohawk was pushing into place gulping them down tops attached. "Yummm~"

Stella lay happily sunbathing near the strawberry distribution area. She loved strawberries, more than the other fruits actually. She rolled onto her side sweeping a pawful of berries to her munching on them happily. Perfect days.

Footpad was having a grand time lounging in the sun, her dark fur [saplings have fur, right?] soaking up about as much heat as she could stand. Still, she mused, what was a party without a little socializing? Footpad suddenly threw herself to her feet, gently shaking off the clinging grass, and looked around for some good company. Spotting a bright, cheery Ash Adult and a much darker flower of Blossoming age, she wound her way to the large pile of strawberries they were fixated on. As she approached, she dropped a casual sort of greeting - "Evenin', ladies" - and helped herself to the sharply sweet strawberries, so different from the rich and mellow flavor of the cherries she had just eaten.

Arden turned looked over at Footpad "Hello!" she smiled sniffing the air. "Berries" she quickly jumped up running over knocking Tomohawk. "Blackberries" she giggled before she gobbled them down the juice trickling into her fur

"Oof!" The black-and-red blossom had nearly knocked Tomahawk off his feet. He was a little unstable from wandering into the forest all day. Plus, she was making a mess. Ugh, he did not miss his blossom days. Youngsters were sooo... silly.

 [super fast before school] Stella turned her head looking at footpad "Oh hello there!" she laughed glancing down the leaves. She stood up and stretched yawning then moved forward scooping up another pile of strawberries. "Delicious" she hummed licking the juice from her jaw.

 ((I dunno if this was already replied too...)) Leila merely stared at the elder sapling then looked down at the leaf full of strawberries. Shifting closer, averting her eyes back to the elder, she bent down to steal a few berries. She was extremely hungry; she hadn't eaten all day and couldn't resist to steal a few berries. He was offering them anyways. She mumbled a word of thanks before slipping off into the brush.

 [How did they not get claimed!]
Arden stopped and look at Tomahawk "Sorry Sorry!" she grinned looking around at the leaves near him. "Cherry?" she tilted her head stretching her neck to grab one biting into it most of it falling from her mouth with the pit. She shook her head grabbing the rest swallowing a few pits spitting out the rest with cherry still stuck to them.

Leila peeked out of the brush again, staring at the strawberries. She blinked, wondering if it was safe to eat them again. They were quite delicious she had noted. When it seemed as if the male wasn't looking, Leila stole by to grab a few and darted back into the bushes.

 Mmm, blackberries! And they'd been left all alone without anybody to care for them! Poor little fruits. The Cap'n licked his lips greedily at the abandoned fruit. He'd be downright irresponsible to abandon something so luxurious to such a fate! Darting out into the clearing, he snatched them up, tasty machinations working in his twisty mind.
