Entering StormPride Territory

The sun is setting as you make your way through the tall grass. Ahead, you see a large tree coming up on your right. As you pass it, you notice "StormPride Adoptions" is clawed and scratched deep into the splintery bark of the great tree. You look beyond the tree, a light wind is blowing through your fur now, to see a circlet of bushes and rocks. The scent of lions, water, and rain wafts trough your nostrils as you step towards the vegetation.

Upon reaching the wall of shrubs, you see there is a gap in the branches only big enough for you walk through. Thunder crackles and lightning splits up the clouds above your head as rain gently pelts down. You squeeze through the entrance of the circlet, managing to get a few shallow scrapes on your shoulders and flanks. You find yourself in a clearing with a large pool of water as still as death reflecting the now-showing stars above. The sight was breath-taking.

"Welcome, stranger," Calls a velvety voice. You look to your left and see a gorgeous Patches queen with onyx, blue, and white markings. Her mist colored eyes are almost hypnotic. "I am Queen Moonshimmer. You must be here to adopt some of my Pridemates, right?" You nod after the pretty lioness speaks. "Good. Then take your pick... and I would be grateful if you left a donation to help me take care of the rest of the young lions here." The celestial maned queen nods to all the different colored lions playing and chatting not far off. You glance around the warm clearing, looking for your next Pride member...

Welcome to My Adoption Thread!

This will be a roleplay-style thread where you can choose to adopt cub by offering food, nesting items, explore-found decor, or silver beetles. It's your choice! The offering is like a donation for me to keep running the adoptions. I'll never ask for anything worth more than a few hundred SB.

All cubs will be sent to the Nature Reserve at 1 year, 11 months. I can't keep them for long and sending them away boosts my karma.

You don't have to roleplay to get a cub, but if you do and you have no idea what to say, just know that it doesn't have to be anything elaborate or paragraphs long. It's supposed to be fun, not an English essay. Just write enough, like describe the cub you want to adopt and ask them their name and if they like the item you're offering. I'll respond with the cub's dialogue. Something like that. If you don't want to, just go ahead and offer on a young lion's trade. No worries!

Here's the cave where all the cubs are kept. There are some in there for sale (they have a "$" in their name), so you can offer on their trade if you happen to like any, but ignore them otherwise as they're not for free.

Let's Get Started!

Thank you for reading that long intro. I'm very optimistic as to where this thread will go. I hope it gets lots of attention and I gain more friends! You can also donate cubs! Just PM me, or if you transfer them, make sure to put "Cub Adoption Donation" or something like that in the note at the bottom.

There's no limit to adoptions! Adopt as many young lions as you'd like so long as you'll give them a great home!

Also! Cubs/Adols are now already put in a trade to make things more along faster and smoother! Just offer your donation onto the trade and I'll accept! If you're wanting to adopt multiple young lions, just spread your donation out on each of their trades. Like, let's say you offer 3 carcasses of some kind for two cubs. Just offer two of the carcasses on one cub's trade and the third carcass on the other cub's trade. Simple!

And, in the story part, it said you get a few scratches on your pelt, so you have a small chance of receiving a Scar decor! This is to keep the roleplay as LioDen-like as possible and so I can get rid of the hoard of Scar decor I have.

PLEASE check the latest posts on the thread so that you are aware of the cubs others are trying to adopt. This is FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. It's not an auction. I don't care if the previous person offered one carcass and you offered 500 SB. So please don't try to "out bid" other players because it doesn't matter. If they asked for the cub first, then they get the cub. However, if it's been two days or so and the first person to ask for the cub doesn't offer on their trade, then the cub will automatically go back up for adoption, so keep that in mind.

That's all for now! Enjoy any new cubs you adopt! Once a cub is in your possession, feel free to do whatever you want with it!
