Weeks two - five: (a normal swamp setting)
Feed the Need has somehow found his way out of the strange pocket of whatever that was and back into the swamp. Shaking his head a little he looks around at his piles of food, and his (as ever) cantankerous badger and menagerie of other pets wandering around with him. After a few moments of trying to get his head out of the clouds and his hooves firmly on the ground he began to run around like in years past, a kin on a mission.
Quickly he got set up behind a large flat piece of wood that was conveniently stretched across some stumps, and he went to where his stacks of food was and began to organize it better only to start yelling at the furbody and badger. Ah yes, the dulcet tones of a stressed, done with their shenanigans buck. It was most certainly winter market to be sure.
As he's running around, and snapping as the two troublesome pets he pauses as he spots you walking up. "Hey! Think you could lend a hoof? I just don't have enough of me to spread around right now...either help me serve up food, or better yet keep these two out of trouble...the others aren't nearly as bad!"
Week 1 (is now closed and was an AU setting)
Spoiler
This version of Help Feed The Need(y) is an AU booth, and so cannot be remembered in the normal swamp setting!
A building stands in front of you, looking like it's seen better days, but there's steady activity around the building so you don't think too much of it. You were sent here by the agency to lend a hand with stuff, and well you need this volunteer position for your resume. So it's easy to overlook things. You see lots of people waiting around for some reason and asking someone passing by you find out this is a soup kitchen and people are lining up to get a hot meal. Except you see a second line...and it's explained that the soup kitchen is also doubling as a sort of temporary pet shelter through the holiday season and was currently a mad house. At least the animals were being housed in an area away from the rest of t he goings on.As you watch you see a man in his early thirties running around all over, a warm friendly smile on his face even though his eyes look a little pinched from exhaustion, and stress. As he stands there talking to someone there's a commotion and you see a gnarly looking grey and black mottled cat that you're certain has to be a stray appear. It's got a torn ear and missing a leg and yet it's as fierce as a badger. The man with a sigh approaches the cat and gets growled and swiped at but he deftly picks it up and presses a kiss to the top of it's head, the cats tail swishing angrily. "Hoard, stop it." he chides the cat gently.
"Sorry about that. Hoard doesn't like to share." he calls out and people chuckle. As you stand there you see a few other animals running around free, and all you can guess is they're either this guys pets, or loose animals. Maybe both? It was hard to tell really. The cat finally breaks free and makes a run at a couple of ferrets and he takes off after the him. "Hoard! Leave Collector and Scamper alone!"
Pausing briefly, he flips his hair out of his eyes as someone else grabs the cat and tucks it away for the time being. With a sigh he turns to you and as he gets closer you notice the camouflage shirt he's wearing has bits of fur all over it, in various colors and you can't help but smile. "I'm busy helping with the animals here so I don't want to go near all the food. Can you lend a hand over there? Though I guess if you want you can help with the animals as well? Got a few of those needing taken care of inside. Choice is yours."
