REMAINS OOC

Because the trailers and tents in the Dog Park are so close together, several characters will lose their homes to the explosions. Comment here to let us all know if your character will be injured in the blast or their home damaged, and to plot threads during and after the explosions! This plot post is open to all characters in the Dog Park and to folks from the other shelters who will be visiting the camp over the next few days helping out in the aftermath. There will be a group thread for shorter encounters as characters check in with each other or receive treatment from the visiting medics, but feel free to plan separate full-length threads as well! The Hellhound officers will be arrested three days after the explosion, on 11/3 in the game calendar.

There will be a party held at the Dog Park tonight, the evening of Friday, October 3, in honor of Adelaide's arrival and the Hellhounds' victory over both the Capitol and Los Nahuales. By now everyone in camp has probably heard the full story and is aware that the whole plot was orchestrated to force Los Nahuales and the Capitol to battle each other while the Hellhounds got away with Adelaide. Though blowback is inevitable, the mood at the Dog Park is triumphant-- and eager for what will come next. War with Los Nahuales is expected and anticipated, and it will add a manic edge to the evening's revelries. After all, who knows what tomorrow brings?

Because his baby girl is home to stay, an average party just wouldn't do in Rodeo's eyes. For the past three days, several patches and prospects have been working to raid a nearby fairground and set up a miniature carnival inside the Dog Park's walls. There will be several rides, including the Scrambler, a small ferris wheel, a whimsical carousel that the patches will look nothing short of ridiculous riding, the Round Up, and a massive bouncy castle (don't expect that one to last long with a bunch of rambunctious mutts going at it.) There will also be game stands manned by drunken prospects, including balloon darts, water guns, Dunk the Prospect (which will temporarily become Dunk the King at some point in the evening), and the Frog Bog. Prizes are your typical carnival fare-- gaudy, cheap stuffed animals and toys. As usual, the camp will be decorated in excess and the bonfire will burn large and bright, high enough to reach over the walls of the Dog Park to be visible from some of the buildings in Austin. Food and libations will be liberally provided. With the frenzied, war-ready energy of the men in the camp, expect to hear the patches hollerin' out some hyped-up chants around the bonfire and to witness games involving excessive recklessness, including drunken Stump and attempts to see who can jump over the bonfire's pyre.

Everyone in camp is encouraged to join in on the fun, and invitations can be extended to those outside of the Dog Park as well. Rodeo will be inviting the LBJ family, and patches and Hellhound-adjacents are free to invite their own friends from other shelters for this joyful and rowdy occasion. I will be posting a starter for the party shortly, so use this post to tell us what your character will be up to and to connect for threads the night of the party!
