The Pours​
​
The Sacred Pour is the annual gathering, a celebration not only of the author but of the mythology created by the TIME Agency series. It is ritual, remembrance, and renewal.
The ceremony begins with words read by the Shrine's caretaker, known as The Cryptid Keeper, guardian of the lore. Pilgrims insert their sacred pint into the Chupacabra's left hand. If the creature deems you worthy, your glass will fill. Drink. Read. Remember.
The First Pour Ceremony
​
The First Pour takes place upon the passing of the Shrine's creator. This ceremony is both a farewell and an awakening. This is where the story begins.
The First Pour is made into the Chupacabra's pitcher, the one held in its right hand, filling the vessel that will remain eternally full. Pilgrims raise their own filled pints. A toast is made. From this moment forward, the Chupacabra holds two drinks: one for the dead, one for the living.
The Annual Sacred Pour
​
Each year on the selected date, the Cryptid Keeper performs the Sacred Pour. Pilgrim Coin holders are welcome to gather, reflect, and toast. On this day, the Chupacabra's left hand serves the living, while the right continues to hold the eternal pint.
The Keeper may deliver a short reading or play a recording of the final message. After the pour, the Shrine sleeps again until the following year.
The Off-Day Ritual: BYOB to the Beast
​
A visitor arrives, not on the chosen day. There's no keg, no active tap, no grand ritual waiting.
But they bring a beer.
They pour a little into the Chupacabra's pitcher, the one held eternally in its right hand. They sit on the nearby bench. They sip. They scan the QR code and enter the mythology. Maybe they post a photo. And they become part of the myth anyway.
The Shrine doesn't only activate once a year. It lives quietly between ceremonies, waiting for those who find it on ordinary days and make them sacred through their own small acts of offering.
He doesn't just pour for you. Sometimes you pour for him.
Bring a beer. Leave a moment. The Chupacabra is always thirsty.
