💗Skirentines
[EVENTâ—¦ STANDARD PAYOUT] Spread love and good fortune around Skire!
Details
💗Skirentines💗
This prompt can be completed once throughout the even's duration!
Somewhere along meteor lake's shores...
As the ice across Meteor Lake thaws, countless shimmering crystalline hearts wash up on its shores. In droves, the creatures of Skire gather these hearts to give as gifts to those they hold dear, representative of good luck, happiness, warmth, and a year ahead together.
In your hand the Sand Hearts are smooth, their texture not unlike warn porcelain. Each shimmers with a different color and a brilliant opalescent glimmer. It is rumored they are the scales of a great serpent that inhabits the deepest reaches of the lake, shedding its plates each winter to begin growing a new.
This year from the waters emerges a duo; two Nautipods with alternating colors and wings on their backs, filled with energy. They've set up around the shores of Meteor Lake, leading the charge in collecting the Heart Shells, distributing their own collection to everyone who makes their way there.Â
"We're here for all of you!" Hart begins, "In the coming year, it is most important to me that you give time to yourself! While I know we're here to spread the love, you're deserving of it too, and through it all, don't forget to give yourself a little love as well. You deserve to make yourself happy, too!"
"Even the smallest actions can show your love to one another," Strings adds on, "Even if you don't find a shell, love comes in many beautiful forms, and spare a little kindness to everyone you meet in life. A little kindness goes a long way, and even the most simple gestures can make a person's day! We all need a little support, so let the ones you love know that you care."
💗Prompt Outline💗
💗what does your character do this Skirentines?
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character gathering Sand Hearts or sharing a Sand Heart with someone to wish them happiness, warmth, and good luck for the year. They can be given to anyone! Family, friends, pets, partners, strangers, and yes, even your houseplants.
Consider:
- Does your character search for lots of sand hearts or do they only find one or two?Â
- Does your character choose to share the Sand Hearts, or do they prefer to keep to themselves?
- Is your character gifted a heart by someone they care for, or a stranger?
- Is it too cold to go to the beach? Does your character maybe stay home and eat some fancy comfort chocolates, and perhaps a Heart shows up on their porch?
- Mushy affection holidays not your character’s jam? Show what they’d rather be doing, bah humbug!
Please check if the character is AVAILABLE or ASK FIRST. Please always make sure to ask if it is not clear! NPCs are available for this prompt.

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: 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?Â
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.
