Glimmer walks up the road from the Shady Corner towards the Healer's Den. It is pitch black outside and several screams were heard from the Healer's Den. Glimmer hiccups as she flits along the road, wondering if she's had a few too many swigs from her flask. She mumbles quietly to herself and begins to dig in her pouch, hungry for a cookie. She stops twice to sneeze and hiccup before finally finding the cookies. As she begins to walk again, she suddenly remembers having left her teas in the postal station. She decideds to turn quickly around and flit back to the tavern.
Glimmer crosses the road quickly and borders the tree line. As she turns herself in the correct direction, she tumbles into a mysterious figure and lounds with a resounding thump, hitting her slightly drunken head on the ground. She curses loudly and rights herself, preparing to lay into whatever she's just toppled over.
Glimmer sees the shadow of what appears to be a hand reaching down to her. She quickly flits upright and begins screeching curses at the figure. "NOW LOOKEY HERE YOU OGRE OF PERSON BEAST CREATURE MONSTER! YOU KNOCKED ME DOWN...hiccup...AND I GOT MY TUTU DIRTY!!! I DON'T EVER EVER NEVER EVER GET MY TUTU DIRTY, SO YOU BETTER RUN! CUZ' I'M GONNA GETCHA YOU THINGA MA BOB!" Glimmer hiccups and reaches into her pouch quickly retrieving her cookies to calm herself. Upon feeling the bag of cookies, they are broken.
"SON OF A...OH BY THE WINGS...YOU....YOU...YOU'VE BROKEN MY COOKIES!!!! BREAK MY COOKIES AND....AND....Brísfaídh Mé Do Magairlí!!!!!" (I will break your balls.)
As Glimmer sputters out the last of her words, a large diameter of glitters begin to form between her and the figure. Glimmer slaps her hand on her mouth and as she begins to squeel, the glitters puff like a firework. {BITCHDUST} In the light, she sees Gaius and says "OH! OH DEAR! Oh by the by I've had too much to drink!"
Gaius is startled by the stream of curses and tries to step away from Glimmer when the air around him begins to sparkle. "GAH! Ouch! What... ah..."
Gaius groans and falls to his knees on the ground. "Ah, Glimmer... what the heck did you do? That hurts. Ouch, that hurts."
"Glimmer... I feel... funny."
Glimmer bends down to help Gaius up and says "OH HEAVENS ME I'M SORRY!" She then squeels quite loudly and says "Now Gaius. Don't go all heeby jeeby freaky outtie on me, but it seems, my dear, that you have grown some appendages. Of the winged sort. Now, I've had a bit to drink, but those are definitely wings. I think I just turned you intoa faerie. Oh my goodness gracious how EXCELLENT!" Glimmer jumps up and down and claps and squeels loudly. We should get you to the tavern to be sure I'm not seeing things.
Sounds of heavy boots falling on the road can be heard, as Taklinn comes rumbling up the path at all the speed he can muster. "I'm commin' Glimmer! Hold tight lass, I'll be there in a moment. He comes up to the scene with axe drawn and shield in position to meet the foe of the fae and he stops abruptly where he stands. "Gauis? Awww Espidrel's beard Glimmer, what have ye done to him?" There standing before him is what appears to be Gaius with new wings and the unmistakeable fae characteristics. Taklinn drops his axe to the ground and begins belly laughing loudly, taking a good laugh at the poor human's misfortune, before catching sight of Glimmer and shutting his mouth so as to not receive her wrath and suffer the same fate as well.
"Well of course I didn't plan to go bump in the night and you end up looking like me! How silly. But now you're a Faerie and we'll make the best of it! You're going to absolutely love it! We'll have tea, and cookies, and play with my gobbos, and we can dance and gigglefit! Well, if monks gigglefit. Or you can be you all the way and I can just teach you how to be me!"
Gaius munches down the cookies rather quickly, finding the sweets quite delicious. It seems to clear his head a bit and he decides to take Glimmer's suggestion. "Okay, let's go."
Gaius heads toward the tavern, having completely forgotten about the screams in the night.
Gaius is walking down the road from the monastery, headed to the tavern for a nice drink, when his thoughts are interrupted by strange screams from the direction of the Healer's Den. He stops abruptly in his tracks and turns towards the Healer's Den in an attempt to see what's going on. He takes off running to get a closer look when no sounds follow when he plows into another person, whom he knocks onto the ground.
He reaches out to help the figure off the ground, starting to stammer an apology.
