[Gift] Festival event - Snow Plow / Strawberries

Event - Snow Plow - Bellz (milkrat)
WC: 258

The snow had been falling non stop, endless... so much so that the roads and pathways, the fields was just endless white. Bellz huffed, powerful hooves pawing the snow as Winny attached the apparatus to her... Simply put, they were getting paid to help clear the snow, the continuous fall making travel hard....and the pay was very good.. very good.

Bellz heard the last click, and her ears twitched, moving forward, straining against the straps that tied her to the snow plow, yes, she wasn't as strong as an earth dragon was, but she was more than powerful enough to pull this, large hooves moving steadily and behind, the plow got to work, the metal parting the snow to create walls of snow, not to high, for it would take many passes to create a path. There was no rush, none as she plodded down the roadway to the town she knew was under the snow... for she'd walked it many times. Through the silent snow encased town she plowed as she looped back round for another pass, breath white smoke in the frigid air... Slowly the snow under the path she carved vanished, yes it was piling to the side, but that could be dealt with afterwards, and was not her job at present. time passed, and even as snow continued, Bellz continued her work.... for who had time to play when there was work to do, yes... this was what she was built to do... no play... but to plow... snow, earth it didn't matter…

Event: Strawberries - Danali (milkrat)
WC: 288

Strawberries... oh she really wanted strawberries... but they were not in season, no... not in the cold depths of winter, in the snow that covered the area, that covered everything green... except for the greenhouses, and more importantly... those with jungle heritage who could grow plants out of seasons... which is why she was here, on the outskirts... they were selling strawberries, big juicy ones, bright red.. she drooled... before hiding behind the crate.. The problem... there was so sooooo many people... what if they noticed her? But those strawberries... oh they looked divine.

Okay she could do this, she just need to wait until there was a gap... now, pepping herself up she slunk towards the vendor, who despite the cold still had packs of strawberries left..... it was going so well.... until they looked her way, her shyness all but took over, her tentacles coming up to hide her face... oh it didn't stop them looking at her... but she could think they couldn't see her face..... At the gentle query, which made her want to run the other way, she used another tentacle to point to a pack, and another to place the coin down.... oh please be enough..

She peeked out from behind her tentacle, a relieved sigh as her coin was accepted, a soft thanks stumbling from her as she grasped her strawberries... before she darted far far away where no could see her... Chest heaving from her sprint, she grasped the strawberries as she sat down, using her dexterous tentacles to grab a strawberry... and biting into that lovely, juicy red fruit... oh it was soooooooo nice..... so so nice... and no one had seen her, yes, her tentacles had hidden her.....
