Posted 3 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by Frog📦 The Portal Predicament
Welcome to the May - June 2025 “The Portal Predicament” Event!
PART 01
Help Harley and Freddy sort the stacks of mail! After all, it's a lot of work for two Gravents to tackle alone…
This prompt must be completed FIRST
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) helping Harley and Freddy sort through the mail.
- Is it a daunting task? Or do they enjoy this kind of busy work?
- Do they sort by hand? Or do they have some tricks up their sleeve?
- Is the process smooth? Or do they find accidents befalling them?
PART 02
Just as you finish sorting, Freddy manages to power up the portal- but it goes haywire and begins to suck in the mail!
This prompt must be completed SECOND
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) dealing with the haywire portal.
- Do they duck for cover? Or are they more concerned about the mail?
- Do they find themself getting sucked into the portal before it can be shut off?
- Maybe they weren't at the post office, but rather on the receiving end of the chaos?
PART 03
With the portal shut down, there's only one thing left to do: go out and fix the mix-up… by hand.
This prompt must be completed THIRD
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) helping correct the mail mix-up.
- Do they travel by foot? Do they drive? Maybe they can fly?
- Is it easy for them to track down the mail? Or do they get lost?
- Maybe they remain at the post office to help clean up again?

FAQ
Q: Can we ask for an extension on the prompt?
A: No, but if submissions require revisions you may be informed of a grace period to resubmit.
Q: If I win, can I give my prize away?
A: For fairness, if you win the prize, you may not gift the prize away. You may return your prize to the admin to re-roll the raffle. Items can be traded, but you should not enter solely to grant the item to someone else.
Q: Can I enter to try and help someone else win?
A: No, it is not fair for multiple people to enter on behalf of one person. You will not be able to surrender your prize to a specific person.
Q: When will the event end specifically?
A: This prompt's end date is displayed on the prompt itself! Please refer to this section and the website's clock for this time!
Q: When will prizes be raffled off?
A: Anywhere from the next day to a few days after the event ends. Rolls are automatic onsite but we will still be announcing them in the Discord!
Q: My entry was denied because it didn’t meet the requirements. Can I fix it and resubmit to try and enter?
A: Yes, as long as this is done so before the event ends. We will not count anything submitted after the event has ended, but a short grace period may be given.
Q: Are admin allowed to enter the event and win prizes?
A: Yes, admins are allowed to enter events! However if an admin is rolled for winning a prize, they don’t occupy a member’s chance to win! Another roll will be done so that a member can still win a prize.
Q: I became a non-owner/owner over the course of the event! Can I change my entries?
A: Yes, please contact a mod! If you become an owner over the event, we ask that you inform us that you are no longer a non-owner out of fairness! If you become a non-owner, please inform us as well as we may grant non-owner tickets. If we notice this system is being used to fodder non-owner MYO slots, we will no longer grant ticket changes from owner to non-owner for the event period, but you may be eligible again if you are still a non-owner during the next event.
