The Greenhouse provides themed MYOs to the community that tie into the esk world through NPC and other stories.
The following prompts are intended as jumping off points for building your character's story, and grounding them within the TWWM universe. You will not receive a bonus for fulfilling them, but we hope they serve as inspiration for connecting your esk to the others around them, whether they're from the same story or not! Alternatively, we hope they might serve as talking points for esk who have different lifestyles, to see how they might relate to esk in this situation.

Prehistoric
The Earth was once so different that it would be unrecognizable to our eyes - just like the Wanderers and esk that occupied it back then. At first, the Wanderers had almost amorphous manifestations, less well-defined, until the biomes we have today developed and the Wanderers, resonating with the land, took shape alongside them. Only ancient esk, transformed when the Wanderers were just settling into their identities as we know them, can remember what the Wanderers must have been like then, but they, too, have seen vast amounts of change all around them. Many of the esk created back then had boundaries that are long gone today, and have sought out transformations in an attempt to become familiar with the world again. Other, perhaps luckier, esk were created as their boundaries settled around them into their modern forms, and became pioneers in shaping today's world.

Remnants of a lost age
- These esk were all originally created by the Wanderers, long before modern memory. As such, their earliest experiences with the Wanderers may be vastly different from our current understandings of them. While the Wanderer who originally transformed them must have identified with a biome at the time, that may not be so true for the other Wanderers.
- Prehistoric esk transformed from objects are in a unique situation. Their boundary may have changed a lot over time, but due, perhaps, to the strange circumstances of their transformation, they may not have necessarily felt it necessary to seek out another transformation. Still, they were all created from objects that may have once been commonplace or significant - but which is just a relic now.
- Many of these esk received their second transformation after their boundary underwent a lot of change - or perhaps they just decided that a different biome suited them better. Either way, their new homes are nothing like their old.
- These esk have been around for a long time - many of their old friends may have grown tired, and chosen to move on for one reason or another. Esk cannot die by natural causes, of course, but some opt to seek out a final transformation when they are tired, or if they feel they can contribute better that way.
Steadfast Memories
- These esk have been around since pre-history - but unlike humans, esk don't need writing to communicate their history. These particular esk are highly motivated and curious denizens of their respective boundaries, and their long lives as esk have given them time to know and understand their boundary very well. Over time, their resonance with their boundary has allowed them to manifest a familiar representing an animal species that may be hard to find or extinct in their boundary - but which must have once thrived there, regardless of whether your esk has actually encountered that species in life. For most of these esk, this is a badge expressing their deep bond with their boundary, which they have toiled to cultivate.
- Your esk has deeply-rooted connections with their boundary. Their dedication over the long years has allowed it to survive in the present: maybe not exactly as it was when they were first transformed, but similar enough that it hasn't lost any of its magic as a source of power for them. Over time, they have seen many other esk come and go - esk who've had to seek out other transformations, and esk who've wanted to learn from some of the oldest esk around. As some of the more experienced residents of their biome, they were instrumental in developing it as a social sphere and environment for later esk and for living creatures to come.
