## Isle Competition

Every year, the islands prepare for one of the biggest festivals, the Isle Competition. Some help decorate, some start stretching for the events soon to come, but one individual spent their time with a rather **special orb**. Since then, thick clouds had been looming over Raccolto, causing whispers of worry for the annual festivities…

But, just when things looked bleak, the clouds split to reveal a figure shrouded in rainbow light. A blinding light and whirlwind of sensation follows, and when everything settles, everyone finds they’re no longer on Raccolto- but rather, in a city floating in the clouds! A figure greets all of the residents.

*“Welcome to my domain! I am Ho-oh, and I have brought you here for a real competition.”*

Ho-oh has hijacked the Isle Competition, and it seems that this year’s theme is…

**Ancient Greece!**

So toss aside your standard, run-of-the-mill clothes and try on something a bit more fitting! Ho-oh wants to see enthusiastic participation, and what is more enthusiastic than dressing the part? However, remember that this is a competition, and you are on a team! Be sure to try wearing some Grecian traditional attire, and don your island’s colors to show off your island pride! Important: Be sure to write which island your character is from in all written or visual works.

Now, it’s not common knowledge what ancient Greeks wore, so residents might need some suggestions of appropriate attire. Ho-oh has so graciously provided some traditional clothing articles you may want to look into to dress appropriately.

Unisex: Doric Chiton, Himation

Feminine Articles: Peplos

Masculine Articles: Chlamys

Here is a visual guide is also available to give you an idea what to wear, but feel free to add your own flair!

Which island can work together the best?

Well, check out the competition!

### **Chat Events**

Opening Ceremony Feast

Kick off the competition with a grand feast and celebration, with delicious foods, live music, and the lighting of the torch! Make some new friends and maybe conspire with your fellow island-goers as well...

Event Time: June 19th, 3pm EST

Brôma Theôn

Valentino Wertz has tested his cooking expertise by whipping up some traditional (and maybe ancient) Greek recipes for residents to try- But beware, it seems to keep things interesting Ho-oh added some... unconventional ingredients to the food! Be prepared for a food roulette, and the winner may get some boasting rights for their island...

Event Time: June 23rd, 12pm EST

Rite of the Sky Guardian

Residents are invited to participate in a fun ceremony full of dance and song devoted to Ho-oh. Bring a gift or tribute for Ho-oh, and you may get something in return...

Event Time: June 27th, 1pm EST

### **Tagging Event**

There are many ways to earn accolades from the ever-gracious Ho-oh, in the form of medals and medallions. Getting your hands on one of these shiny rewards can prove to be a boon for your island during the competition, and the name of the game to win them seems to be speed! But it seems that trickery and a few fakes are afoot...

If you manage to get your hands on one of these medals, make sure to keep them safe and check to make sure they’re real! Ho-oh delights in seeing such shiny accolades, but finding yourself with a knock-off will cause you more trouble than good if you get caught.

If you win a Gold or Silver Medal, you will earn your island 1pt! If you encounter the rare Victini-shaped Medallion, you earn 2pts for your islands! However, watch out for fakes. Fake Gold and Silver Medals will earn -1pt for your island, but faking the prestigious Victini Medallion will earn you -2pts...

To tag in Discord, type @ and the mod's name who posted the image. If the same mod posts multiple images in a row, you will receive whatever points were in the image above your tag.

### **Taste Testing**

Is your stomach growling? Don’t worry, games like this work up an appetite, so plenty of food has been provided! Maybe pop a few olives in your mouth, or try some deliciously sweet baklava! It would be rude not to eat such good food that is provided to you, after all!

For this event, have your character enjoy the unique flavors of Greek cuisine! However, only eat one at a time, this isn’t an eating contest- we don’t want you choking! Each dish has a certain amount of points that will go to your team, but which dish has the most is a mystery, so feel free to try as many as you like!

Be sure to bold the dish’s name in your author’s comment section.
