This year said farewell to: Prioritizing work over my own well-being / working until burnout instead of taking care of myself
Roleplay: Taking Root had spent all season preparing for new arrivals. She was a new mother, but she remembered what her mother and her tribe had done before her. She had carefully chosen her den in a more secluded area and spent many early mornings collecting only the best nesting materials, so that it would be warm and comfortable for her coming clutch. It was nearly ready, but she worried it was not hidden enough. Taking Root knew she could not - nor did she want to - spend all her waking hours in the den. She must occasionally leave to hunt and tend to herself, so she could care for others. What then?

It would ease her mind if her clutch had a protector who could stay with them. A muskwolf perhaps, not uncommon in the plains but difficult to tame. They were fierce and hardy and would make a good companion for her and her growing family. Perhaps if she could create a den that would be very suited to a muskwolf, it would be keen to stay.

She looked about her den. From the outside, it is but a narrow hole in the plains soil but with some determined wriggling, one would soon find a tunnel leading to a wide space. The rocky ceiling that provided shelter and structure was just a twig's length taller than Taking Root but would be quite spacious for young Kiokotes - or a muskwolf. Lined with a hardy grass, the den was shaped like a gourd and at its widest end, she had created a warm bed for the cold nights. She would need to make some room for the muskwolf.

The next morning, she busied herself digging and creating a new smaller bed near the one she had already created, in preparation for a new addition.

This year said farewell to: honestly a lot of stuff I wanted to hang onto, so I'm gonna just say goodbye to one awful year.
Roleplay: Splinter was a quiet buck, but not because he was shy. He simply didn't need to talk much; he was imposing and enormous, and his massive horns told enough tales of their own. He protected his forest, a peculiar place in the swamp. Drier than most, the deciduous hardwoods rose to meet the sky on a rather large hillock, meaning that it wasn't your standard cypress and mangrove bog. No, there were actual oaks and maples here, healthy ones that didn't like having their feet wet all the time. He patrolled the hill, rarely leaving, rarely coming across others of his own kind– save for his daughter, a hill guardian like himself and nearly the spitting image of him.

It was lonely work, sometimes. A companion who loved the territory as much as him would be a fine thing, a creature of habit like himself. His home wasn't large, but it was comfortable. He'd made the shelter seasons ago, lovingly weaving ash saplings into a partial dome, bending them and nurturing the so that they'd grow into the shape he desired. Mosses had colonized on their own, and he kept the interior floor dense with sweet-smelling dry leaves. It was a sturdy thing, his shelter. He'd built others like it elsewhere in the forest, one for Snag, others for temporary refuge for those who came across them. Or permanent, if they bore no ill-will towards his trees and wanted to stay. His shelter would be a cozy den for a beast, his forest a bountiful territory to defend and hunt.

On one of the rare occasions of his leaving, he'd seen muskwolves- at places like the winter market and other gatherings. He thought one would be a good fit for his own territorial nature. Not one of the vixens, he'd heard they were roamers. But the males were like him. They held space. As he laid a new bed of leaves and prepared to depart to seek his friend, he hoped that his home would be sufficient. It was for him; hopefully it would be enough for the beast.

This year said farewell to: a lot. I'm ready to say farewell to the year and forget it happened
Roleplay: Banished never really put any thought into how the season's changed, or those that came and went with them. But this year? This year was a little different. He hadn't realized it until he was eating breakfast, but... he was alone. Things were quiet, almost dead feeling. The quiet hadn't really bothered him before, but suddenly, he felt like he wanted to see someone. His mother, perhaps? Or perhaps he just needed a companion. Yes, that was it. He'd like a companion. Someone to break up the silence, and the... loneliness.

But not a partner. No, he didn't want someone who would insist on talking all the time. Perhaps a pet? Yes, that sounded like a good idea. Before he realized it, Banished was picking things up and putting away things that might be tempting to chew on. He was thinking about the sorts of animal he could bring in. It couldn't be something too small, and definitely nothing aquatic. A canine perhaps? Yes. With that in mind, he shifted gears, putting an old, thick blanket on the floor, and rumpling it up into a bit of a nest. There were a few sorts of canines he could look into. He thought about all the different creatures he had ever met, and which ones he got along with.

After a long time of thinking, and far too long fussing with the blanket on the floor, Banished finally settled on the idea of a muskwolf. He'd never met one, and they seemed loyal, but still independent and intelligent. He could train one, he was sure. There was room enough in his home for it, and him, and he could take it out with him. Yes, he decided he needed to look into a muskwolf.
