“Ahem,” a pink capybara fainara says, trying to gather attention. “Hello, everyone, my name is Kyle. I’m a researcher, and I just got a lifetime opportunity to study meteorites, that is rocks that came from other planets. However, I can not do it all by myself, I would want to gather some scientists to come with me. Of course, only those who have a good reputation around here.”

“If you want to come with me, please come to my boat by tomorrow, I will be waiting. We leave for Zoic at noon.”

Oh my! Zoic Island is a very secure place and hardly anyone can even visit there, so as to not disturb the meteorites sites. That sure is a lifetime opportunity! Will your fantele or fainara miss this chance?

Event Activities

This event will function in a different way than usual, there will be routes you can follow. Every week there will be a new prompt to continue on your chosen route, to a total of 3 prompts per route. The former prompts will be open until the end of the event, on November 30th. You may choose to follow different routes, but you need to do the previous prompts of the routes you choose. That means, if you choose route A in week 1’s prompt and want to choose route B in the next week’s prompt, you will need to do the prompt of route B for week 1.

Each prompt completed will grant 10 event points, to be spent in the Zoic’s gift shop. The last prompts of each route will also have a special prize attached to them!
