EVENT → THANKSGIVING, Y'ALL

YOUR GOOSE IS COOKED



Literally


The event will only last 5 days and isn't designed to be a huge to-do (we had a lot happen this month already plus Christmas is coming!!) but feel free to do what you want with it!

So what is Thanksgiving As many residents might not know (lookin at you animes), Thanksgiving is an American holiday created to support the culinary industry and to commemorate some dinner between some Indians and religious bigots. Or something. The point is people eat a shit lot of food.

What will Thanksgiving be like in Holly Heights? As per the usual, your kitchen will provide you with all the food for the occasion. Except a turkey. It's going to be pretty normal.

Except for all the birds everywhere.

What. Instead of a dead, 30 pound frozen turkey in your fridge, there will be birds everywhere. And not just turkeys. I mean toucans and vultures and penguins just wandering the streets. Any bird you could think of (except dodos, sorry guys) And not an ignorable amount. Like you open the front door and you hit five just stepping outside. And on Monday, they seem pretty chill. Like most animals, they'll usually only throw a fit if you bother them in some way.

But by Friday, they'll be coming through your door, smashing into your windows, trying to scalp you to line their nest. As the week from Monday to Friday progresses, the birds will be more obnoxious, there, and possibly violent. Not to mention the waste.

How do I stop this aviary invasion? Well, hidden among all the birds are turkeys. Only one per house though. So, as a letter sent to your house on Monday will detail, the only way to avoid a broken window and an extremely dirty car is to find one of those turkeys and bring it home, thus your Thanksgiving is complete. In other words, you need to "celebrate" Thanksgiving in order to stop the curse of the birds. Upon finding and bringing back your houses turkey, your yard and skies will be devoid of birds. They'll leave your car alone. The beloved landlord will call off the birds if you're good and celebrate with your family.

➜ And you get Friday too because he's a good guy.

Is there a plus side to this... Expect a Black Friday post by yours truly. Open to everyone. But supplies are limited, no rain checks.


What you do with a turkey after you find one is up to you. That includes throwing them, dressing them up, or eating them. Enjoy your new pet for as long as you can because all the birds will disappear at 11:59 AM CST on Friday.

So have a fun Thanksgiving, both offline, online, and in game!

Will there be any immediate consequences if the non-turkey birds are killed/injured/eaten?
