Festivia throws open the tavern doors and zooms on nearly invisible wings to the center of the room. She is carrying a HUGE sack filled with fresh picked flowers. The room quickly fills with the scent. She proceeds to dump the pile of flowers on the center table and looks around cheerily.
"Who wants to make some flower necklaces for our next town party??"
She lays out a few needles and some thread.
"I also need some hoops, coconuts, frozen sugar things and candy of course!!"
(OOP: I need each participant to bring a hula hoop. If you don't want to participate in the competition, you don't need to bring one. I also need LOTS of popsiccles and a few coconuts (if you can find them.) Post here if you'll bring which things. I can't award a LOT of boon, but I do plan to award some for the time and money spent! There will be a limit of boon/person.)
(NOTE: You don't need to make any leis IRL.)
Festivia claps excitedly and makes a noise akin to a hiccup. She flutters out of the tavern to find more willing helpers.
Starling lay stretched out across a bench, knee bent, as was becoming the norm of seeing the Noxian Uordeq in the tavern. One startlingly green eye opened a fraction to watch the fairy queen flit about and dump out flowers and discuss preparations for another town party. When the winged creature had left, the loyal Blood Wraith yawned widely, about to move over to help with the flower necklaces and immediately regretted it. She coughed at a scent disgusting enough she could taste it filling her nose and mouth as she yawned.
"Blech..." she mumbled, looking around for the source of the odors mingling with the scent of flowers. Star's gaze landed on the Goblin and appraised him for a moment. Yeah... That made sense. Moving over to the thread and needles by the flowers, she shot a glare at the odious little beast, grumbling loud enough for him to hear, "Oh shut up and go bathe, that might take care of... part of the stench."
Then she quietly got to work, stringing a flower necklace. It couldn't hurt to be useful to someone else. Not when it stayed the worst of her own boredom, anyway. She pondered as she strung the flowers as to where she might have seen a spare hoop or two from a degraded barrel. She was sure she could find some. (OOG: I'll bring an extra hulahoop or two for people that might not get one in time to participate.)
Leofrick walked into the tavern to see flowers laying upon the center table. "Well, I presume we have another town party?" Leofrick walked over to the table and noticed needles, threads of different colors. Then proceded to sit down and begin laying out different colored flowers into many auspicios patterns.
The goblin snapped his head towards the sound of the wailing deki. "Why would I bathe? I just put on my new scent 'Perfume de Carp!' Isn't it fabulous!" Nasher proclaimed as he laid sideways and struck a pose like one of those foreign women. Nasher looked over to what the rest of the group was doing. "Flowers on string? That has to be the WORST idea I've ever heard! Besides You're all doing it wrong! Move over dark eyes," the goblin screached as he jumped down from his perch and nudging Leofrick out of the way. He then took a handful of flowers and began ripping petals off, stringing only the naked centers onto his string. "THIS is how you make a pertyful string!"
"It would appear so, from what I could gather. I'm not sure I've spoken with you before? Or if I have you were not one of my hecklers and I have forgotten your name. I'm sorry." The woman nodded at Leofrick.
"Drop the blooms, you foul little thing." Starling snapped when the Goblin nudged his way to their table. "If you don't like it, don't fiddle with it. As for you new scent, it would likely offend the senses of even one of those dirt monger Dwarves around here."
"I know you are but what am I?" Nasher snapped back at the females comment of being "foul." The goblin reached for another handful of flowers to eviserate. "You're just all jealous of my knowings of perty things and smelling good is more than you can even begin to understand!" the goblin said, grumbling "Stupid Deki" under his breath soon after.
Starling rolled her eyes at the green skinned male, carefully picking a non-mutilated flower off the still-sizeable pile. She raised an eyebrow and openly scoffed at his suggestion that she was jealous of him. The damn Goblin was like a child, only louder uglier and smellier. Likely a good sight dumber than most as well, she added to herself after a moment's silent consideration. They should give teenagers a brief stint with a pet Goblin. Tell them it's like raising a kid. That would put a stop to shenanigans then and there. She snickered softly to herself, "Goblins.. the ultimate birth control..."
"Do you know anything about presentation Nasher? Presention is key to catching one eye for attention to detail." Leofrick moved over away from the goblin as to not get the foul smell uopon his clothes. "Hello again Madam Starling, how are you this day?" Leofrick gently picked up another small group of flowers and begins to lace flowers together again, humming a sad and consistant tune.
Nasher snapped his head sideways towards the Urodeq sitting beside him, giving his work a quick look over. "Obviously more than YOU, you dumb deki! I mean, look at THAT!" Nasher said, gesturing at the stringed flowers in Leofrick's hands. "It's almost as ugly as your dark eyed face! It's a good thing I'M here! Otherwise, this tavern would be completely void of talent and ALL the perty strings would look absolutely HORRIBLE!" The goblin finsihed tying his brown flower heart necklace together, holding it up for all to see. "Now THIS is art!" the goblin proclaimed as he draped it around his neck.
"If you weren't so stupid I wouldn't need to leave," the goblin replied in a matter of fact sort of tone, being sure to stick his tongue out, making a nice long -PBBBT- sound at the Urodeq. Nasher let out a quite obnoxious laugh as he went back to admiring his work. "Stupid deki, thinks he owns the place. HA!" Nasher said quite loudly to himself.
"Oooh! Testy one, aren't cha? Do I sense a bit of jealousy in the deki's voice over my artistic skills! Because your string is ugly and mine is pertyfuls!" The goblin laughed as he nudged Starlings should with his elbow. "Can you believe it! A deki with feelings!" Nasher said to the woman, laughing quite loud and obnoxiously.
"Touch me again and the arm comes off at the shoulder." Starling responded glancing up from her half finished string of flowers. She sighed and looked at Leo, "You have far more patience than I for this little Nasher beast. I wonder how you manage, and I daresay I've forgotten your name... I feel quite foolish since you clearly remember me. My apologies."
The goblin sensed the sincerity of the Urodeq females threats towards his arms. The goblin slowly scooted away from the woman before quickly diving under the table to reamerge on the side closest to the fairy. "You're used to pertyful things! Tell them their doing it wrong. And yell at them," Nasher said as he stood up on his seat to be eye level with the fairy.
Nasher saunters into the Shady Corner, his tailcoat draped over his shoulder and an old boot filled with metal bits in hand. As he walks into the door, a strange smell of fish and goblin odor mix with the smell of flowers in the room. "Something smells awful in here! Yuck!!" the goblin proclaims as he walks to a table. He climbs onto the top of the table and dangles his feet over its edge, dropping the boot beside him with a loud "Thud!" "I want delicious beverage! Bring me mead!" the goblin shouts, ignoring the fact there is fairy royalty in the room. Truth be told, he doesn't even really notice or care she's there.
