Your standard 'let's get back into thing' game! There are 10 doors, and behind 1 door is an Okibi matching the little guy above. Everyone may claim 1 door, whether it be for yourself or for a friend, just 1. The doors will open when all 10 have been claimed.

Door 1: BabyKittenCandy
Door 2: CutieePiee
Door 3: YLO
Door 4: red_uni
Door 5: Rosewood
Door 6: Neocridders
Door 7: WildFilly
Door 8: skysnolimit
Door 9: TheLeet
Door 10: SweetCaroline

This little lady is baking in all this summer heat! Post a picture (no hotlinking!) of something nice and cool, whether it be an arctic landscape or a popsicle--anything you think of when you want to beat the heat, to try to coax her to come over to you. The one picture she finds most appealing at the contest end time will win her over!

What a complex guy this Okibi is! He informs me that intelligence is the key to a good partner... but luck always wins out in the end! x_X I don't understand him myself... but he says he'd like an event that shows off both intelligence and luck, so I came up with this to satisfy him.

To enter this raffle, post one haiku that you composed yourself (just google the word haiku if you don't know the rules for these short 3-line poems). The content of the poem can be anything, but must mention at least one aspect of nature somewhere in there. At the end of the contest time, random dice role will determine who this boy goes home with.

The popular Photo Match event is back! Like last time, the point of this event is to find one photo of a real horse that most closely matches the pet shown above. I've included all four growth stages of the adoptable so you can see some additional details.

You can only choose one photo to enter, and you can't repeat the same photo someone used before you, so check the thread carefully before posting! Breed, gender, age, things like that don't matter. You can post a photo of a Clydesdale or a baby Shetland, the point is to get as close to the pet's color and markings as you can. At the end time, the horse photo I think most closely matches the pet shown above will win the Okibi mimic!

Ahh, I'm glad this little filly has a great sense of humor! I could really use a laugh these days. She left the choice of event up to me, and what better way to find the perfect partner than a LOLContest?

Choose one to enter, only one! Find you favorite LOL-image and post it here in the thread. Doesn't have to have cats in it! At the contest end time, the one that made me laugh the hardest will win the pretty Okibi girl. (If you have a naughty one you can pm it to me.) Keep in mind I spend a lot of time at icanhascheezburger.com, so if you just grab the first one you see from the first page there, chances are I've already seen it. ;)

Our last little Okibi is very shy, and didn't have any ideas for an event herself. I could barely get her to agree to go home with someone! I thought she might feel a little better if she made a friend who could coax her to come out of hiding.

To enter this contest, post one adoptable you already own, to be her friend, and a short line from that adoptable talking to her and encouraging her to come home with you. If your pet convinces her to get over her lack of confidence, she'll pick you and follow you home!

Congratulations to YourLoveOnly, the Okibi was hiding behind Door 3!! He will be uploaded as soon as I figure out why Secundi won't let me upload any new Okibi at the moment. :P

A young Horse steps through from the sides. She looks this way and that, finally shaking her little body this way and that, and wagging her hairless tail. "Hewwo!" she says, looking into the dark places. "I'm Abigail! I think you should come out and pway wif me! I need a new fwiend. My mommy and daddy say so, would you wike to be my fwiend? We can go pway together! And eat some apples! And umm.. Take naps! Yes. Naps are fun, at least Mommy says so." In a quieter voice, speaking directly to the hidden one she says "But between me and you, naps aren't as much fun as Mommy says." She brightens up again. "Pway wif me?"

Find-a-Friend

(http://www.secundi.net/agencyuploads/11-497.png)

The sound of wings beating the air accompanies the arrival of a beautiful Okibi, she circles the area once before landing lightly on a thick branch of a nearby tree.  Turning her attention to the shadows she shakes her head, her white and black mane sliding back behind her ears and nods towards the one hiding in shadow  Hello friend, I see you too, like to enjoy your solitude.  Fear not, where I live, there is plenty of room to roam free, places to hide away, and everyone else who lives there is very kind and understanding.  No one would force you to do anything you didn't choose to do.  And whenever you wished to wander the forest or mountain paths, you need not fear predators either.  Ruffles her feathers and sits up with a rigid spine, her proud head held high  No one would dare to attempt harm to anyone on my lands.  And while solitude and shadows can be very enjoyable, they can also get a might lonesome at times.  So come on out, or not.. as you wish.  Wrapping her fluffy tails around her body she sits there and gazes watchfully out over the assembled people and various critters, ears perked and eyes alert for any potentual danger.

I love butterflies and rainbows and sometimes my mommy loses her patience when I want to play too much, so I would love to have a big sibling like you to hang out with! I promise to be really good and be a good friend!"

Event 3 Haiku!

Okay all entrant lists are updated, so I make sure I don't miss anyone when the event is closed. ^^

Reminder that Photo Bribe and Haiku Raffle end today! Still plenty of chance if you enter!

My name didn't make it onto the photo bribe list ^.^;; Did I do something wrong?

Nope I just missed ya in all my mad scrolling up and down! Sorry 'bout that, you're there now. ^^

I am sorry for hotlinking, my computer crashed and it's the only thing I can manage from my iPod, if that disqualifies me I'll understand.

If you don't mind going to your post and deleting it after the event is over, that should be fine. ^^ There's not a huge amount of people who will be viewing this thread in the next day or so, so the bandwidth won't be influenced much.

Sure I can do that =)

Aaaand Events 2 and 3 are done!


Our little black girl had a SUPER hard time choosing from all those cool images. But in the end, it seems like she had a sweet tooth above all else. She chose Leet's viennetta! (After she made me google it to see what the word meant. XD )

(http://www.secundi.net/agencyuploads/134197015211-881.png)


And then the dice rolled a 2, congrats to Kahlira! Imagine my surprise that the crafty boy who put together this event was a (usually bubble-brained) Fennec!

(http://www.secundi.net/agencyuploads/134197039911-882.png)

Beautiful little gal there, many congrats, Leet!

And what a rather stunning little boy if I do say so myself =D And the fennec are considered airheads? Really? I thought they were just clever.

They're quite small little creatures and any conversation with them goes much the same way the conversation with the Butterfly went in The Last Unicorn.  ;D

oh man, I loved the butterfly in the Last Unicorn XD Did ya read the book? Or are ya speaking of just the movie one, cuz the book one was a bit creepy.

Congrats guys!! ^_^

I absolutely love the book (and the graphic novel!) but I meant the scene from the movie. Fennecs aren't creepy, just fluff-brains. XD

YAY :D
THank you so much, Ryuu. She's beautiful <3

Oh good =D I never knew there was a graphic novel! Maybe I'll need to look into that =D

You totally should get the graphic novel! It's soooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty and it's hard cover! *fangirls* And it follows the book rather than the movie, so it includes a lot of scenes that the movie left out (like the spider in Mummy Fortune's show, and the super creepy town at the foot of King Haggard's castle!)

Definitely will get that when I gets some more money. Must have that! (Plus book four and six in the Dark Tower series by King)

Event 6
(http://www.secundi.net/agencyuploads/11-582.png)
Tressa walks by and sits on her haunches, cocking her head at the little one hiding so shyly from her. Thinking for a bit, Tressa decides not to pressure the shy little mare with small talk. Struck with a sudden idea, she flipped her tail happily and smiled. "You know, I was on my way to a friend's house with some board games, but it's a bit too much for me to carry by myself. If you have some time, would you like to give me a hand? You're welcome to join us afterwards if you'd like." Everyone loves to help, Tressa thought. And she doesn't have to stay if she doesn't want to.

Last day for the last 3 events! Don't forget to enter, we have very few entries for some of them so you have a good shot! :3

Hey there! Would you like to play with me? The more the merrier, right?

Sorry for the delay, on we go to the last Okibi!

The Photomatch was definitely the hardest game to judge! In the end we went with skysnolimit for that adorable foal image

The lolcontest gave me a chuckle, so thanks to everyone who entered! I couldn't stop laughing at the cat who wanted to eat the horse, so this beauty is now home with Ravanna!

(http://www.secundi.net/agencyuploads/134237314911-883.png)


But the lion with the butterfly made me giggle a lot, so congrats to Red_uni for a runner up prize! I've placed a Green Foxfire in your inventory. They can be used at any time. :)


And last but not least, the shy little Okibi was most comforted by the wise words of the Okibi named Athena, so she has slipped away to follow her to Kadana's home!

Thank you all for participating! I will have a new event (hint: flatsale!) up in the next few days. :)

Congrats you guys ^_^

Pretty new Okibi! Congrats, guys!

*is floored* Wooooooow, he reminds me of a Canadian maple leaf, for one reason or another ;D  Thanks heaps, Ryuu, and congrats to everyone else too!  *hugs Okibi*

My girl is beautiful!  I love these "mimics" :)
