NEW ISLAND: NUIDAN

When: September 10th and onward
Where: Nuidan
Warnings: Tag as you go!

Reseed the Meadow So the Cows Don't Starve
As of September 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Nuidan.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square. The temple is situated in an oasis-like backdrop of amber-colored sands circled with overhanging palm trees. From the island's center, the four corners of the island and its fixed seasonal shifts are more than obvious: to the north, the rainfall-soaked meadows of spring; to the east, the thick clusters of the trees of autumn; to the south, the snow-capped mountains of winter; and to the west, the warm summer sands and pleasant heat.

And inside the temple? The avatar of the island Nuidan is waiting.

I told you to be specific. Not my fault you're not specific without prompting.

Baskets, buckets, the like, all can be found within my temple. [One will always find the exact amount of what is needed for the harvest, too. Isn't that considerate?] Cariborn, now, they can yield milk and such. Some herds to the north, I expect, though they've broken wild by now.

[yallstupid]

[Guzma purses his lips together, humming as a very snide smile spreads across his face. Oh...the things he could say, if he were less restrained right now, but Guzma swallows his cynicism, and his retort, and just shakes his head. Not going down that rabbit hole today, thank you very much.

He does, however, take note of the information. Good, all those tools will come in handy for what they have to do. If the dog wants them to work, and do a good job, then they should very well provide the tools and materials needed.]

Ah, those're them, uh...Sawsbuck-looking critters, yeah? [Guzma rubs at his gut, where he was accidentally kicked by one of them when he tried to milk one, way back in the day. Not a pleasant experience, and he's since learned from then, but...oof. That's going to make things harder.] That'd work, but I was hoping for like, a...well, a Miltank would be best - ain't no better milk than MooMoo milk - but...it's something.

[thankgods]

I have no idea what either of those things are.

[Said frankly, but neutrally.]

If you've some problem with Nuidan's ecosystem, you have plenty of other islands to choose from! Take it up with the Storyteller!

[yallstupid]

'Course you don't.

[Guzma hangs his head, shaking it with a deep, resigned sigh. Why did he think this god would be knowledgeable about creatures in his home world? Why did he think they were like the Storyteller in that regard? He had hoped, maybe, for something closer to home, perhaps. Something that can be considered a little part of Alola, brought back to him.]

And I ain't knocking nothing, dog, calm down! Jus' saying...would be nice to not have to wrestle one'a them things to get milk...again. [He pouts, rubbing at his chest idly, the ghost ache still there.]

[thankgods]

[Hm. Hm. Well, they won't argue there. In fact, they'll even make a suggestion.]

There are barns and corrals. Keep them fed and cared for, and they'll be plenty happy to allow you some access to their wares. The wild ones - well, they've plenty of reason to be wary! But tame them, show them a kind thought, and they will surely follow through!

[yallstupid]

Huh...easy 'nuff - like training any other pokemon. [Which makes sense, obviously. Domesticated pokemon, especially those in farms and ranches, are much more passive and friendly than their wild counterparts. But not without the proper work put into raising them.]

So, where're the barns and stuff? Or, uh...the paddocks. I'll work them first then we can wrangle them beasties. Don't make no sense to get 'em in one place where y'all can't hold 'em, yeah? [He smacks his knees and pushes himself up, stretching out his back and shoulders. He's ready to get his hands dirty.] Y'gonna be 'round here if'n we need you, homedog?

[thankgods]

Barns, corrals...all north. Up north, yes. Where there's plenty of grass and room to graze. The barns ought to be intact...can't say the same for the fences and paddocks.

[Harv gives their fur a hefty shake, as though shedding water.]

Naturally. Naturally, I'll be here. Should you need anything else.
