▶ The Resolution Sphere Event

[My Four Seasons]

End Date: January 31st, 2022​

As the old year crests into the new, something fresh sparks in the air; a ripple of change marks the crisp dawn, heralding a sight odd to all who come across it. In a small village in the heart of Dream Valley, a number of ponies have discovered that the local town square has been invaded by what seems to be a sphere of glittering, semi-transparent energy simply hovering, its walls smooth and solid magic though it glimmers with facets of gems innumerable - but stranger still is what a few whisper they see inside:​

​

Baskets, plain as day, and clearly moving with the quiet breath of lazy, new life.​

​

The sphere proves itself quickly impenetrable by normal means, and though the townsfolk send word to the Queens immediately, near noon it seems as though the weird sight has taken it upon itself (or, more likely, whoever's left it there) to push the story forward on its own. A shimmering note appears above the magical oddity, with beautifully scrawled text simply hovering in the air for all to see:​

​

"Give us your joy. Show us your pride. Present us your resolve."​

​

For three days the folk are left to puzzle over this ominous sphere, until by sheer accident one pony passing by idly mentions a new year's resolution; though the greatest of magics seem ineffective against the taunting presence, this statement causes a ripple of color to swirl along the sphere's surface. Soon, another tries the same, and the effect is the same; before long, a swarm of excited villagers are shouting things left and right - leaving the Queens' guards overseeing the examination scrambling to contain them all. Within hours, a new, more orderly system is constructed, and it's clear quickly that these simple ideas have some sort of reaction with the ...​

​

Well, whatever it is.​

​

Will you join in and help the effort?​

 

[My Four Seasons]

The sphere is near to bursting with twenty-four baskets visible in the sphere.​

​

​

This is a scavenger hunt / task list game for a growing raffle! As players participate, more prizes (we'll spoil it for you - it's ponies) will be added to the pool. Every task that you complete will net you one ticket for the raffle at the end, unless noted otherwise.​

​

One post per task.​

- Please make a separate post for each task you're turning in. You don't have to do them all at one time!​

Each task may be done once per type per person.​

- If a task says "or" you may do each option as its own task (so you could write for #2 and draw for #2 as separate tickets, but you couldn't write twice!)​

Don't whine/complain about tasks. ​

- You don't have to do them all! Skip whichever you'd like.​

Don't discourage others from participating.​

- The more everyone participates, the more fun - and prizes - we'll have.​

​

"When it hurts to look back, and your scared to look ahead,


For task 10
@Reoakee

you can look beside you, and your best friend will be there."​

 

[Shadrya]

Task 10:

@belloblossom ​

 

[Shadrya]

Task 1:​

My resolution is : to start getting healthy with both food and gym again after the depression of losing a pregnancy, to start looking forward instead of dwelling in the past. I am also going to stop drinking as much.

 

[Jackariah Beckett]

Task 1: My resolution is to lose weight<3. At the moment I weigh 305, so it's time.

 

[belloblossom]

Task 1: My resolution is to get my drivers permit and start learning how to drive. It's gonna be a big part of my track towards independence and I shouldn't be scared to at least try.

 

[ChexaRain]

I want to break free

Task 10: @Joshuality ​

I want to break free​

 

[belloblossom]

Task 2 (Write) : I like having an excuse to break out all of my blankets - I hoard fleece blankets like a dragon, hehe. I typically wear four blankets, but when winter comes into my area and it gets properly cold (it was 35 last night - brrr!) I usually double that count, or even go as high as ten blankets. Being warm is my top priority in winter and blankets are among my favorite way to achieve that.

 

[belloblossom]

Task 2 (Draw) :

Featured: Me (belloblossom!) snuggled in my Comfy, scarf and earmuffs with hot cocoa.
Also featured: Gunther (my old hound and the snuggliest of pups - though I'm bias.)

 

[Natty-chan]

Task 10: @SwordOfTheNagas

 

[Shadrya]

Task 2: ​

Things I love about winter:

* Beanies
* oversized jumpers with shorts

* long socks with boots!!

it's the only reason i love winter!!

​

 

[Cheyriddle4]

Task 10: @Moolatte

 

[PZMJNP]

[Task 1] Write a resolution for the new year

I want to do a daily sketch prompt and forge more time for self to do more art in general.

 

[PZMJNP]

[Task 2 - Writing] Write or draw a picture about something you enjoy about winter

I'm not much for the cold but I'm obsessed with Christmas. I didn't get to celebrate it my first 18 years of life (parents' religion doesn't celebrate any holidays) so I have a lot of enthusiasm for it now. The forbidden fruits lol

 

[Cheyriddle4]

Task 1: My goal is to save more money to have a better emergency fund or a moving fund.

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Task 10: @Zakiax

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Task 1: My resolution for 2022 is simply keeping in touch better with my family. I let a lot of things dictate my life for a long time, and recently I realized I never should have. It started with my visit for Christmas, and when I realized how little stress there was to actually seeing family, I realized where I went wrong all those years. I even told my aunt's and uncles to prod me from time to time, in case I fall back into my old patterns.
