The conditions were set! Flyers posted! Merchandise ready for sale! Stalls cleared out! And plenty of enthusiastic monster slayers were positioned and ready for their most eventful fight of the year! Today marked the day where slimes (or oozes some bumpkins called them) migrated en masse to the shore of River Port. The event occurred annually due to the migration patterns of the slimes and had historically caused immeasurable damage to the port town, leaving establishments and even homes destroyed due to the sheer number of these creatures. After years of lost revenue due to damages and business deciding to move elsewhere, the mayor of River Port at the time, Korin Dandelion, a forest fairy, fluttered into the River Fairy Kingdom to demand his townspeople be allowed to take up arms against these creatures by any means necessary! It is said he maintained flight as he argued for River Port’s call to action for five hours straight. Whether that account is true or not, Mayor Dandelion returned to his town and his people with a single declaration…
“ARE YOU READYYYY?!” A large cast-sphere placed on the boardwalk just for this very event broadcasted the lively face of a blonde-haired forest fairy sporting some snazzy eye protectors with a devilish grin on his face. There were plenty of hearty cheers but the elf lowered his shades and raised an eyebrow skeptically. “I guess the people didn’t hear me… OR PERHAPS THEY HAVEN’T SEEN ALL THAT DISTURBANCE IN THE WATERRRR! SLIME SLAYERS, ARE YOUUU READYYYY!?!?!?” The cheer that erupted was to his liking as raised his fists and shook them with vigor. “IIIIIIIIIT’S SSSLIIIIIIIME DAYYYY!!!!”
Along the boardwalk were carted stalls that were pushed out to sell all sorts of Slime Day merchandise. Toys, shirts, hats served strictly as souvenirs, but there were also useful items for sale as well. Slime Day mallets to smash slimes with, elastic Slime Day slime-catcher bags for those looking to collect slimes dead or alive, and the very popular Slime Day slime treats that were simply large throwable pieces of rock candy.
A part of the beach had been sectioned off in order to funnel the incoming slimes. It also gave others the chance to enjoy the beach (minus the water of course) without having to participate in the Slime Day festivity. Six foot tall barriers lined the shore but came around while decreasing in height so those not participating could have a clear view while also being protected. To also ensure the slimes funneled in, rock candies were scattered across the sand. This would also allow for some easy kills when certain slimes stopped to dissolve a tasty treat.
All who were participating would wait along the boardwalk until the first slime emerged from the tide. Once that moment arrived, the participants were clear to go kill slimes to their hearts’ content. Each slime killed earned a participant three amas.

Meeting with Annya had been a bit of a bust. Kaleb was sure he had made a decent impression, but so many people had been present for breakfast, he had a hard time standing out in the large group. He tried listening in on other conversations, but most of it equated to busy talk. Initially, he was genuinely annoyed, but after a moment of thinking, it all made sense. The large group was located in its own corner within the restaurant, but it was still a public space. Talking so openly about war and humans that now had bounties would be quite foolish.
Being seemingly accepted into the fold was good enough for now, but Kaleb needed to showcase himself. When talk of Slime Day came up, he nodded thinking about how he could use the event as his chance to show his stuff. He could also put the bow and arrow to some use and make some money as well. It was a net W in his eyes and all he had to do was put in some physical effort.
Moments later
Kaleb was standing on the edge of the boardwalk, with a Slime Day mallet in hand and fire in his eyes. He found the announcer to be quite the showman who helped in hyping the young man up for the event that was about to unfold. Before slime slaying could begin, he eyed the other guys who came along from breakfast with a determined look in his eyes and a smile exuding his confidence. “You guys better make sure to stay out of my way! Feel free to take notes though!”
“THE FIRST SLIME EMERGES!!!!!” The moment the first among the many amorphous creatures arrived on the beach, the ready participants moved. “SLAY THOSE SLIIIIMES!!!!!”
