NPC Mini Missions
Mini Missions are requests from the NPCs that your blobling can fulfill; think of this as a set of fetch quests in a video game that you can participate in at your leisure. Just make an IC role play thread and write your blobling undertaking one of the NPC Mini Missions below, and get rewards for whichever one(s) you complete! Make sure to fill out the form below.
Mini Mission Need-to-Knows:
- Mini Mission threads may be started in the IC Events area.
- You can only complete 3 NPC Mini Missions per month, so choose wisely!
- Mini Mission threads must be created specially for the NPC Mini Mission you are trying to complete, so you can't use a pre-existing thread to complete them.
- When writing for the mini missions, players must write as their own blobling and not as any of the NPCs - unless they're listed as a Player Run NPC in their entry. In that case, you are hella welcome to RP as them. :3 Just make sure they act like themselves, as described in the NPC Dex. Otherwise, treat the mini mission as a fetch quest or as if your character has already received the request as of the beginning of the thread.
- Players will receive Vouchers from Mini Missions at the end of each month.
- Players will not receive role play responses to Mini Missions.
Once you've completed at least 300 words total (3 role play posts minimum) of IC role play for the Mini Mission, please post here with a filled out Mini Mission Submission Form to tell us which NPC's Mini Mission you have completed, and link to the thread you completed it in. You will receive one of the Vouchers from the NPC you chose at random.
Mini Mission Submission Form:
B
(Staff-run NPC, non-playable.)
IC Mini Mission Setup:
B is sitting around the outskirts of her city, her butt planted in a chair she's fashioned out of snekkitti city wood. She waves to you as you approach, and beckons you over with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Howdy! I was thinkin', and hemmin' and hawin'... and I think my city needs more loungin' areas. More places for blobs like you an' me to just sit and talk, y'hear? Could you go get me some wood and bring it here, or better yet, get buildin' some benches and chairs we can put places? I'll even let ye pick where they go."
---
Mini Mission Explanation:
B wants you to help her build some furniture for her city! Go gather some materials and then help her build some kind of lounging area for her city, so the blobs there can gather!
Reward: 1 Arm Voucher, 2 Feather Vouchers or 1 Plant Growths Voucher and B likes you a bit more!

Lerinzia
(Staff-run NPC, non-playable.)
IC Mini Mission Setup:
When you arrive at the meowler pens, several meowlers are laying belly-up on the floor, meowing dramatically.
As soon as Lerinzia sees you, she immediately rockets up and runs over to you on her paw-like feet.
"Oh! I'm so glad you came - could you help me out here? The meowlers have stopped wanting any of the fish I have for them. They suddenly think they're gross and are screaming whenever I try to feed them. Can you find something else that's meowler-friendly?"
---
Mini Mission Explanation:
Lerinzia wants you to go find the meowlers something more exciting to eat than fish.
Reward: 1 Whisker Voucher, 1 Marking Voucher or 1 Horn Voucher, and Lerinzia thinks you're pretty helpful!

Sakana
(Staff-run NPC, non-playable.)
IC Mini Mission Setup:
Roaming anywhere near the arena in Onyxia you find an odd noise was spilling out of the structure. While the usual noise of the crowd was still there, something else accompanied it. A beat, it thumped with a rhythm that seemed to almost echo in your core. Following the sound lead you to the arena's ring, as expected, but there's no battle going on. At least it doesn't look like any match you've witnessed.
The space between the ring and the stands is lined with blobs slapping and plucking at strange objects- instruments. Not that you necessarily have anything to compare it to, but these noise makers were perhaps a bit crude in design and had been put together with nearby supplies. You're pretty sure you see one blob slapping two halves of a poffdula together with more gusto than rhythm. Thankfully, their off beats were just near enough and were lost in the greater song. But it's obvious, this was the source of the sound that lured you in off the street.
And the reason for it all was in the ring itself.
While there were plenty of blobs up there, the one that seemed to stand out the most was Sakana. The mer-blob danced. She twirled, spun and bounded about the ring to the music. With each move her frills and limbs swayed after, nearly hypnotic in their trailing flow. A smile graced her lips and occasionally they'd part for a laugh to bubble forth as she'd reach out to take the hand or limb of another dancer to spin and twirl with a partner.
It was entirely clear that she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
---
Mini Mission Explanation:
Dance! Or play music! Or attempt to at least. Enjoy the spontaneous atmosphere that Sakana seems to have instigated and taken over the arena with.
Reward: 1 Flesh Voucher, 1 Fin Voucher or 1 Frill Voucher, and Sakana thinks you're cute. Probably.
Parabellum
(Player-run NPC, playable.)
IC Mini Mission Setup:
Drawn inside by the unusual sound of Sakana's musical takeover, you enter the stands of the Onixya Arena. The merblob danced and twirled with musicians in the ring below to a deep thumping rhythm that seemed to shake the steps you walked on. But even through the cacophony of instruments and noise, the loud & distinct voice of the arena master can be clearly heard in the stands close by. It was clear Parabellum was thoroughly enjoying himself, spending his downtime conversing amongst any blobs passing by his announcer's podium.
Even if the arena master couldn't stop talking about battle on his days off.
"Fought anything?" You hear one spectator say to him, looking puzzled. "I don't really get into fights."
"Oh, nonsense! Everyone has been fighting something lately, haven't they?" Parabellum retorted, looking among the gathered blobs. "Not everything comes to trading blows. Maybe you've been 'fighting' your pets to obey your commands! Or arguing with your friends over this and that. Personally, I fought open a poofdula shell earlier this number, then fought with myself to clean up the mess!"
While the previous group laughed and moved on to their seats, Parabellum turns and greets you, loudly and warmly. "What about you, my dear blob? Been in any grand battles lately?"
---
Mini Mission Explanation:
Quick, your blob has been put on the spot! Tell Parabellum about some kind of battle they've been in recently, but feel free to stretch and twist the definition of 'battle' as much as you'd like for this one. It could be anything from physical fight that sticks out in your blob's memory, to their fight to get out of bed this morning, to their fight to find meaning in this great big world of ours. Great or small, Parabellum will be overjoyed to hear about it!
Reward: 1 Tail Voucher, 1 Hair Voucher or 1 Extra Eyes Voucher and Parabellum thinks slightly more highly of you!
Yume
(Staff-run NPC, unplayable.)
IC Mini Mission Setup:
You find Yume in the Tar Pits with a thousand yard stare, her black eyes darker than they usually are. When she notices you, her blank expression doesn't change, but she does turn her face so it's looking towards you.
"Hiyoyo, could you... stop being as boyoring as you are and go set something on fire for me?"
---
Mini Mission Explanation:
Yume wants you to set something on fire for her. Uhhhh...
Reward: Voucher from chart below and Yume likes you a bit more!
