Event: The Leopard's Spots (Update #6)
With the shapeshifter captured, we have reached the home stretch! Please check out the new Part 4 starter for speaking with a very angry (but currently cooperative) cat. Time to clear up what's been going on!
Additionally, once your character has had a chance to get answers to their burning questions, please use this post for discussion of how your character(s) would like to resolve this situation. The two main questions to keep in mind are:
1. What does your character think should be done with the totem?
2. What does your character think should be done with the captured shapeshifter?
Please take your time finding out all the information you need to know in order to make those decisions. I'll keep an eye on this post and answer any logistical questions that come up. Thank you!
General Status Updates, July 25:
After the people of the Meadous have talked with Okota and the other NPCs, the general attitude of the NPCs is as follows:
1. Okota is becoming grudgingly willing to at least consider foregoing their attempt to revert their people to total savagery in favor of influencing the world in smaller ways, but they're clearly not thrilled about it and there's a clear risk that they'll go back to their old ways if left to their own devices.
2. Tawnya and Mitch are willing to take guardianship of Okota, but only if they have some way to keep a god in check. Summer is on board with a rehabilitation effort and will also assist. They acknowledge that a few of the points Okota has made about the negative effects of conformity and a move away from instinctive behavior are true, but on the whole they find her views extreme and are strongly opposed to her original plan.
3. Wyatt just wants to hide the totem, and can be persuaded to leave it in the Meadous.
4. Several players have suggested devices to help Mitch and Tawnya keep Okota in check. Currently those suggestions include a cage that can contain Okota in any form and a tracking device Okota can't remove. Each device would cost 1,000 wishing points; there will be another update on Saturday to gather points from any characters who want to contribute to one or more wishes.
The deadline for voting on solutions is Sunday, July 28, at 11:59 PST.
Update, July 29: Voting is now closed. Thank you all for your input!

2. Mostly, he wants to hand Okota over to Officer Wagner and Officer Grayson-Bones to deal with. Realistically, he's not sure they're equipped to contain something like her. He'd suggest some sort of magic cage wished for by Zephyr that could hold Okota in whatever form she chooses. And then some sort of... attempted rehabilitation of the god? Or bringing Okota into the modern century.

2. Mitch and Tawnya feel very unequipped to hold a god captive, but are cautiously willing to commit to this plan if they have some way of keeping Okota in check. After speaking with Okota, Summer is (maybe surprisingly) the most enthusiastic of the NPCs regarding a plan to attempt rehabilitation.

2. If they did wish for such a thing, how many points would it be? And would it even be possible?
