Starting January 24th and ending on January 31st New Haven Manor will be open to those looking to find out more about these peculiar little creatures before they decide on if a Poro is the right pet for them! An array of finger foods and hot chocolate will be available while you fend off the utter adorable Poros in all their friendly glory!

Adoption fees do apply but all proceeds go to the Wild Wilder Refuge, Rhy'Dins biggest refuge for rehabilitating rare creatures!

Things You Should Know About Poros: * Very friendly & incredibly loyal! * They do shed! * Can eat you out of house and home if you are not careful! * Love snow but are also fine during the hotter months! * Poros will always fit in the palm of both your hands! * Poros 'sing' at night and typically sleep during the day! * Slight up keep with trimming their horns!

Believe it or not, Salvador Delahada showed up in the company of Canaan Devillier. They were in a hurry to get in and out as quickly as possible, but were persuaded to adopt not one, but TWO of the little beasts before making a hasty retreat. They did not at all stay to mingle.

ETA: It is important to note that neither Cane nor Sal were at all enamored by nor smitten with the creatures. In fact, there was much sneering and comments of "ew, these things are hideous." They treated their selections with a purely clinical eye as if they were picking out lab rats for an experiment — for Science! Cane was not at all thrilled to have to carry both poros out because the creatures wouldn't go anywhere near Sal.

Saila showed up mainly to find out what a poro was.

Utterly enchanted with the cute little buggers, she found herself playing with several of them for quite some time. Soon enough, though, she found one in particular that she was so enamored with she positively couldn't bear to leave without it. Coilin was just going to love this. At least she finally used his credit card for something?

If there were other people there at the time, Saila probably tried to persuade them to take one home, too.

maison kitsune

Free food? The young kitsune was there in a heartbeat and with Benji in tow. Being four and a half feet tall, or there about, the poros decided she was a toy for them to play with. Benji and her both was attacked in one big pile the only thing recognizable about her within their fluff was her tail sticking out and wagging along with loud giggles. She stayed too long, ate too much food, and soon enough choose one to take home with her that night. This did not mean she wasn't coming back the next day to play with them again and get out of the cold. In fact she planned on doing it a few times. The food was better there than some of the other shelters.

Lazy days in the New Haven barony manor. The stress of the Iron Fist League over and done with meant that Terry could relax. What better way to relax then crash at the New Haven manor with the Proxy-Baron herself. Since she was staying there for the time being, that meant Terry would be around all throughout the day. Her day consisted of: Picking at food here and there, playing with the Poros ( and also making sure Trouble the cat didn't pick on any of them ), and chatting with guests; which may or may not involve asking for a few numbers.

One of the little critters, who sadly reminded her of a pet rabbit she once had, pulled at her heartstrings enough for her to adopt it. The little guy got named Lil Puff, because Terry's terrible with pet names.

Levi Clark showed up, hand in hand with Quinn DeFortes. After playing with and giving much love to the little Poros Levi chose the one with the gray eyes and playful demeanor, then they left as quietly as they came.

It should be added that Quinn was dead set on NOT getting a pet, and that he was the only pet needed in the family, but while watching Levi fall in love with the little cutie, he couldn't say no. He can basically never say no so, home they went with the little puff of adorable.

Elodie Echo

Elodie had come because of the promise of food, and cute things. So she came and was not disappointed at all. In fact the cute things had been so cute that she left with one nestled in her jacket, and a bag with everything else needed or wanted for the little thing. She didn't think that Wren had intended for her to spend any of the money he had given her in that way....so boy was he in for a surprise when she got back to their current apartment with lovable fluff ball.

She named him Snowman, and decided to call him Snow for short. He looked a little fatter than all the other Poros she had seen.

Jewell's day had not started out that great.

She had been subtly forced from The Line because someone couldn't get any work done while she was around. Whatever, she had work to do too! Since Ishmerai was still away, someone had to check in on Little Elfhame and make sure it had survived the snowstorm.

The check in turned into a snowball fight with the local kids. Which turned into dragging Jewell to the snow-creature contest. Which turned into a visit to Devil's Hill for some late afternoon sledding.

She may not have any water magic, but The Empress could make a mean snow creature and turn about any object (re: garbage can lid, cardboard box, plastic bag) into a decent sled!

All rosy cheeked and in good spirits after a day of winter fun, the Faerie stopped by the New Haven Manor on her way back to The Line. She had no intention of actually getting a Poro, but she had heard they were very cute and was a curious lady by nature.

Within moments, one of the workers was trying to thrust one into her arms. She had her hands outstretched to take the little runt of the litter before she drew them back.

"No no. I can't. I don't think Kal wants a Poro in his loft."

She thought it over and then reached out to take it again. "But I guess it can stay with the House of Summer girls."

Then she withdrew her hands. "No, that won't work. Unless it gets along with cats?"

"It does" Well then I guess.." she reached out once more before pulling her hands back to her chest again. "But wait. What about chickens" Do they get along with chickens" Marta is so particular."

When the worker reassured her that the Poro would surely get along with chickens as well, Jewell reached out her hands once more. The Poro was just being placed in her palms when she hesitated again. "But what is this about singing" What kind of singing does it do' I can't have something keeping me up, you know. I need my beauty rest."

It was too late though. The cuddly little fluff ball was in her hands now. "Oh well...I guess it can't be so bad, right?"

Thus, Spartacus Leviticus Ravenlock was born.

The small wisp of a woman arrived, awkwardly, in shoes. She was still getting use to them and by the look on her delicate features she was not enjoying them! The shoes was likely the reason why she had not been out and about for most of the winter days.

After all if the elveness was inside she didn't need to wear the uncomfortable things! See, smart!

Her arrival was accompanied by cheerful little squee once she saw the snowball like creatures. She took to play with a small herd of them, giggling and rolling in the snow, almost instantly. But at the end of it all she knew she could only take one. If she was even allowed to bring one home.

With a heavy heart she limited her choosing to one with adorable green eyes and a front-tipped snow white coat. With a smile, and a cheerful wave to those there, she collected her new friend and went home to introduce it to her beloved.

Showing up there to the event to make contacts left her studying the creatures curiosity. The woman had an infinity for pocket sized things smaller than herself and thus she adopted one.

Nurn

Date: 2016-01-25 22:52 EST
Bart rolled in with his hair a mess and a stubble spread over his cheeks, a bit more rumpled than his usual....slightly less-severe rumple. He saluted a few of the critters as he waded through, as if they possessed full cognitive ability, and listened to whatever care tips chirruped on in the background while gazing over the horde of puffballs. Eventually, one managed to catch his eye.

One of its eyes seemed unable to open. The green fur around its mouth seemed more like thorny keratin than soft fluff. Little thorn-like knobs stuck out around its horns. Its tongue stuck out almost lazily, in bright red. When he approached, it bur-hlakked and turned to its side, looking at him askance with its one good eye as if in judgment.

"Yup. You seem like the right kinda broken. Ya got a home now, buddy."

The poro practically harumphed as Bart carried it off to the payment kiosk.

Gaines Clyfer

Date: 2016-01-26 07:41 EST
Gaines was wandering by the manor when he heard a mixture of chirps and awws of creature and person alike which altered his saunter to carry him in. Once inside a brilliantly gleeful gaze took in the sea of joyous white fluff, tongues, and horn that carried on. "Well, what have we here!?"

He'd spend a fair amount of time conversing with staff about the creatures and interacting with them directly before he finally set his heart one a few. "I'll take those three there! The two making snowballs and the dull one trying to eat a trowel."

After saving the shovel from it's fate the staff raised some concerns about purchasing multiple of the creatures given their voracious appetites and propensity for late night song but the fellow simply waved such off saying they'd be better off with friends. And so with that and the necessary payments made Jeden, Kaksi, and Harom would merrily shuffle out of the manor along behind the ragamuffin man.

Receiving word on the Adopt-A-Poro event Shy decides to journey over to the New Haven Manor, having no clue about the mysterious and loveable creatures. Less than an hour later she is taking one home. Perhaps it was its crooked little horns and turquoise eyes that drew her attention to one in particular.

"For na I shall call you Sn?ball!"

Hopefully, Poro's get along with ferrets. Shy envisions Rascal and Snowball sharing hours of fun together.

Hope Jubal

Date: 2016-01-27 11:46 EST
Hope had been racking her brain to find a pet that she could enjoy even during her often chaotic schedule as a Watch Officer. The Poro Rescue event had caught her attention while coming back from physical rehabilitation. She'd stop by the New Haven Manor to peruse the Wild Wilder Refuge displays and information that was out. Seeing all the Poro's rolling around and romping had Hope smiling, a rare sight these days.

One Poro, with a slight mottling of spots rolled into her sneaker and warbled a little song of surprise. Hope knelt carefully and scooped up the palm sized, freckled puff ball. It licked her nose and Hope was laughing a little now.

"Okay. Okay. You won the 'Take Me, Pick Me' game." She'd take up a pamphlet on Poro care and paid the adoption fee as well as a small donation to the Wild Wilder Refuge fund. Hope would wave good by to the helpful attendants and went home with Pinto the Poro singing the whole way.

With her day off in full swing and no longer snowed in and stuck in her small apartment, Belle finally managed to head over to New Haven to peek at the playful poros that she had heard all the buzz about. After spending a few hours Wednesday morning playing with the adorable creatures, she was leaving a donation for the WWR and starting on her way.

"Oh, nah, I just came out to play with the little guys. I don't think I'd be able to adopt one," she told the person collecting donations.

Little did Belle realize that one was intent on following her as she left.
