{ Leprechaun Madness }
MINI EVENT: LEPRECHAUN MADNESS
PROMPTS
A. Pranks and misfortune. April Fool's is coming in a little early with one group of leprechauns with yellow caps running around causing pranks all over. From minor "shoelaces suddenly tied" to "paint falling from scaffolding," anything goes with them. In doing so, they are spreading some bad luck which can be countered a few ways. Those who participate in the pranking will be seen as an ally to this group and won't be pranked on. In addition, those who wear any amount of green on them will be spared from more severe pranks.- Finding good luck. Are you one of the unlucky souls who has been pranked? Try to find some ways to get rid of the bad luck that goes along with it by finding four leaf clovers, finding some rabbits that are willing to let you rub their feet, doing some good deeds around town, etc. As long as you believe it’ll help with the luck, it should work. But you have to actually believe that it will work.
- Pranking around. Or perhaps you’re one of the ones doing the pranking in the first place! The yellow caps won’t stop you if you decide to join them in pranking people. The more pranking, the merrier!
- Prank war.. For some, the best part of being pranked is retaliation. There’s nothing stopping people from escalating this into a full-on prank war. Counter pranking is welcomed and encouraged–just be aware that the leprechauns will escalate in their pranks as well.
B. Shoemakers. Another group of leprechauns sporting blue hats are hoping to start their own business in town, specifically in the shoe making and repair business. They are quite skilled in their work and will happily take custom orders so long as materials are provided as they start preparing more general stock for the ever growing populace. However some freshly are recruited apprentices are a bit too zealous in their work.- New shoes. New shoes are all the rage this month, and everyone is managing to snag a pair without even trying! How lucky! Or perhaps not so lucky. With or without permission, shoes are being redesigned and altered to a "flashy, fresh" new look, and while some are earnest in their endeavors to match the style to the owner, some take their artistic liberties to the extreme. To make matters more complicated, some even try to add some magic to give an extra "lift" to one's step. As in, making them fly or run fast. Some yellow caps are also interfering by casting bad luck on the shoes, making them more prone to trip, step on things, or making them feel too heavy to lift.
- Stolen shoes. No craft is without its fans. And where there are fans, there are superfans who will go to any lengths to acquire a collection of trinkets to show off. These shoe superfans are grabbing shoes wherever they can find them: people’s homes, store fronts, right off of people’s feet. Whether a victim, someone trying to return the shoes, or trying to convince the over zealous fans to stop, it's chaos. To make matters worse, somehow this "superfan zeal" is contagious and if someone isn't careful, they might end up trying to join in the craze and take some shoes for themselves.
C. Pot-O-Gold. The green clad bearded men are well known for their greed, with legends telling of their gold kept in special pots that appear at the end of the rainbow. And what luck that rainbows are appearing all over the place with the weather! However, keeping their gold in special pots has its problems, especially when the rainbows they were hidden under decide to move around. Should favor be gained by these leprechaun, they may consider sharing their gold. - Catch the rainbow. The leprechauns are out looking for their pots of gold and are being quite aggressive about it, shouting at anyone who happens to have a rainbow above their homes or is playing in the colorful rainbows. Some rainbows are actually floating away with that pot of gold attached to it. How does one wrangle a rainbow? Hint, they like to stay in sunny, warm places.
- Found a pot, now what? Should anyone stumble upon the pot, it's better to leave it alone or immense misfortune will fall upon them like a curse. What kind of curse will vary (ie, up to the player). Securing and helping the distressed leprechaun, on the other hand, will bring about immense wealth and will improve relations with this group. So what choice will the finder make? Just beware…being around the gold for too long might make them start feeling a little greedy.
- Protect the gold! Alternatively, you can gain favor with the leprechauns by preventing other would-be treasure hoarders from carrying the gold away themselves. According to the leprechauns, the gold should be protected by any means necessary. Stop those thieves, or risk becoming one!!
D. Red Cones v. Red Caps. There is a smaller contingent of leprechauns who don special red coned shaped hats that can actually be used as a weapon. They prefer to live out on the edges of the Wildlands near the Cliffs, however the Redcaps have been bothering them and so they seek to recruit any who wish to help aid them in a glorious battle between the small men.
- Recruiting fighters. In the name of wanting to be left the hell alone, the Red Cones are recruiting strong fighters who are willing to stand up to the Redcaps and convince them to stop their pestering once and for all. Taller fighters are especially in demand, all the better to tower over their enemies menacingly and whatnot.
- Way of the Coned Hat. A select few fighters for the Red Cones will be trained in the secrets of their hat weapons. With the proper infusion of magical (read: dreamotion) energy and the proper incantation, they can be launched at enemies like tiny red rockets. The incantation varies from hat to hat depending on its owner, so players are encouraged to be creative with the magic words needed to set these projectiles flying.
[Mod Note: Details on this mini event can be found here and we request all thread submissions to be made here. The leprechauns from the mini event will last throughout the entire month, with their appearances spaced out to suit whatever time best fits the players.]

[ Maybe it's hard to tell what's going on here. I mean, to Sana, it's been a Fairly Bad Morning that even she thinks she might not actually deserve, thanks men in the yellow caps.
To you?
Well, there's a small figure staggering towards you. It's not exactly easy to tell who (or what) it is, because it's covered in white downy feathers, the kind you'd find in someone's overly fancy and expensive pillow, and then those feathers are splattered with bright red paint. Which comes from, apparently, the overturned paint can on the figure's head. Presumably.
Said figure is also making some kind of pitiful whimpering sound and most definitely floundering in your direction right before it trips.
Maybe move? Maybe move. ]
D-1.
[ Let's pretend none of the above happened. Instead, maybe you're taking a look at the new recruits. One of them, the pigtailed girl, is dressed in something at least vaguely resembling a knightly outfit, if you ignore the frilly skirt and the veil. More hilariously, she's hefting up a shield that's either her size or bigger than her. It's kind of hard to tell.
(She is most certainly not a taller fighter, she's barely five feet tall. It's fine.)
Still, she flushes a little and fidgets. ]
I-I know how it looks, but... I can fight! I promise--!
[ ooc: wildcard is obviously a-ok!! I'll roll with whatever! ]
A1 (1/2)
Ah...auh, auh...!
[ Alas, this miracle is not to be; for even if he stumbles after Sana, eyes wide with disbelief and excitement because food food food, his nostrils flaring for that sweet, sweet scent of coppery blood...he realizes it is not there. There's an unappetizing chemical smell. He finally notices the bucket, that there's clothing under all those downy feathers... ]
2/2
[ He deflates almost immediately, staggering to a stop. His arms fall to his sides as he deals with the crushing reality that the elusive Giant Bloody Chicken is not to be.
aaand that's half a second before Sana stumbles into him, because he didn't even try to move.
he just wanted a giant chicken :CCC why is life so hard!! ]

A1
Hilda is on the girl the instant she falls over, pulling off the paint can and scoffing at the sight she sees. While she's no stranger to pranking, this kind of thing is meant for overstuffed nobles and fellow pranksters, not young girls who clearly can't handle the stress of it. Something about her demeanor and expression brings to mind Marianne, which only makes her that much more angry on the girl's behalf.]

[He cuts himself off, since he already knows who did this. Those "pranks" go way too far!
Not minding that he'll get dirty too, Aether tries to remove some of the feathers from the girl.]
Hey, let's find a place where you can get cleaned, okay? Are you in pain? Can you walk?

He's clearly not happy, considering how he's grumbling as he's trying to set up some sort of prank trap involving a ladder and a bucket of ice water. ]
Stupid yellow jerks... If those bastards think they can get the best of Hunter De Vil, they've got another thing coming--

[ Nier's slightly concerned. Sana is certainly shorter than Nier because he's about six feet in height. He practically has to look down and almost crouch to see Sana at head level. He notices the shield and it seems kind of heavy for her. ]
I'm sure we'll be fine if we stick together.
[ He's carrying a spear type weapon himself. Nier will do what he can to help Sana. Besides, she doesn't look like she would be any older than Yonah if he were to judge by appearance alone.]

one more A1 for the pile
Others have apparently not been so lucky. The sight of whoever or whatever it is shambling towards him is startling at first, but the noises its making are clearly distressed, and clearly human. ]
Hey, are you oka— [ and there they go, stumbling over. With no regard for his clothes or the well-being of his knees, Thoma instantly drops down, slinging out an arm to catch them. His free hand comes up to begin to lift the paint bucket away. ]
Easy now, I’ve got you.

...Not that he's thinking of battling her. Right now, they're on the same team! After all, it doesn't take much to get Childe willing to fight. ]
Great! We're going to need every willing and able body to take care of those redcaps.
[ So he's been told, anyway. ]
Want to show me what you can do?

[You'd think someone who grew up penniless would be more tempted by a big pile of gold, but Kisara knows better. She can be found walking through town with a full pot in hand, carrying it like it weighs nothing, and those with sharp eyes might spot one of the little green fellas trailing her carefully in the shadows, watching all who approach suspiciously. Seems she's been recruited to help with transporting it to a safe place, which she does fearlessly, ready to give anyone who gets grabby something to regret.]
Careful, coming through!
( d: red cones )
[While she's not inclined to join a local war, Kisara doesn't like bullies. She's offered to act as defense against the assault of the Red Caps, using her size and shield (literally and magically) to block incoming projectiles and attacks, and with a shield that tall, she can block multiple of the little red coned leprechauns... and probably you, too.]
( e: some wildcards )
[Kisara's still exploring the area as she gets acclimated, so anyone can find her around-
i) in the Arise treehouse, she's baking up a storm to make up for lost time. Whatever favourite foods of the party she's able to make, sweets and snacks and plenty of varying flavours that won't cause terrible indigestion. Their points have been well and truly made. Expect the kitchen (and the neighbouring areas) to smell spectacular this whole month.
ii) the Smithy, since Somnus had invited her to check the place out, she'll be venturing over there to have a look at the wares and help out if some manual labour is needed. No sense in staying idle!
iii) wildcard it! She'll be all over, probably.]
e-II
Placing his hammer down, Somnus greets her as usual, rising to his full height. The horns of his helm barely clear the ceiling. ] Hail, warrior.
[ He doesn't move from there. It seems his sabatons have been altered in a magical sense, and they currently glow with a soft, pink hue. But that's not important. ]

Sana is nowhere near as impressive-looking as Kisara, granted, but her shield is putting in work-- so it seems, as one of the red capped guys bounces right off of it and goes soaring backwards. ]
Um, sorry if I'm in the way-- [ Who knows, she might want space?? ]

There are times where it is called for. Which might mean putting a stop to one of those suspicious fellows approaching Kisara and her cargo in a fashion that's a little too aggressive for Xiao. ]

[While normally as easy as a summer breeze, Zhao looks a little...perturbed at the moment. He looks like placing a few cookies here and there where he saw some of those yellow caps.]
Uh, hey. You might not wanna touch those cookies. Just FYI.
Protection
[Or when he's not pranking yellow caps, he's sitting near a pot of gold. He seems to be on some kind of look out. He's also armed with a saber.]
All right, move it along, nothing here for you, smart ass.
Or maybe there's more shenanigans afoot, go nuts, Zhao's your man!
Retaliation
Is that so? [ He stops the hand reaching for a cookie when he hears the warning. ] Are you attempting to poison some rodents, my good fellow?
[ And no, he hasn't noticed the proliferation of leprechauns. In fact, as a recent newcomer, he chalks it up as the usual state of affairs around town. ]

[These yellow-hatted leprechauns don't seem like a bad lot to Gina at first! They seem to appreciate her green clothing, and they seem to have so much fun with their little pranks. So she decides to try her hand at some of her own!
With her past as a pickpocket, she's good at being deft with her hands when she needs to be. So she'll go around, trying a few pranks that seem innocent enough to her - tying together shoelaces, pinning little tails to the backs of people's clothes and setting up buckets of water above doorways... It's all in good fun!]
B. The Rise of the Inspector
[Gina didn't pay much attention to the blue-hatted ones at first. She assumed that any type of shoe repair would entail something in return that she didn't have. She might know that there's no money here, but she doubts that means something like this would be free! But it seems that the leprechauns in question have something different in mind, as they get to work on her boots anyway. And so she ends up taking her 'improved' boots out for a walk.]
I guess they do feel comfier... and lighter too. Like I'm walkin' on air! [Except that's exactly what's happening. With each step she takes, Gina is rising another step above the ground. After a few moments, it hits her.] 'Old it!! Blimey, I.... I really am!!
[Toby the dog barks up at her from the ground in concern!]
C. In a Gold Rush
[And, naturally, Gina will be chasing a rainbow relentlessly through the streets at one point, with her dog Toby in tow.]
Outta my way! That rainbow ain't gettin' away from me...! [She pushes her way through crowds in pursuit of the rainbow and the pot of gold at the end! Once she finds it, she may live up to her civic duty and protect it. Or she might try to take some for her own. She might not have decided for sure herself just yet!]
D. Wildcard
[Feel free to come up with an alternate prompt or hit me up for plotting!]
Leprecan’t
Soon, the itching to cause some chaos is driving her insane that she decides to join in the fun as she approaches her.)
Well, I see that you’re enjoying yourself right now. Maybe perhaps you could use a hand in the prank pulling?

1: Finding good luck
[Sakura always has her Invincible Spell, after all. Which is to say that she is of course, trying to remain optimistic in spite of the pranking. Telling herself that at least nobody seems hurt from these pranks? That she can help others in at least dealing with the aftermath, in handing out things to wipe themselves of the paint for example. She may or may not even realize her wearing something green in that moment might help mitigate her from the worst of it, even as she had tripped from her shoes earlier. In her wearing the hairpin that Yukito gave her that has some green.]
I'm sorry....! Here, take this to wipe it off. At least....the worst of the paint....?
B: Shoe makers
1: New Shoes:
Hoeeeeee?
[It is not. Exactly that Sakura is unused to this? That shoes being magical, exactly. She just hasn't had Jump in a while, the card that sprouted wings at her shoes to lift her jumps to get around quicker. Let alone something like this. She's not slow, given the number of times she has had to rush out the door to get to class on time. But this is a whole new record for her or something, as she tries on some new shoes besides the ones she initially arrived in with her school uniform. She's sort of flying, hovering but not too high. Yet. Sakura is kind of flailing in her initial confusion and panic as she starts getting a little higher.]
C: Pot o Gold
2:
[Sakura hasn't touched the gold. She's simply blinking at it, before glancing around. It's....probably someone's, right? It might be debatable if she has heard such stories of gold at the end of a rainbow. Whether she makes the connection to the funny little men running around at the moment. But she will be asking around if anyone else comes nearby.]
Um.....is it yours?
[Cue her gesturing, pointing to the gold? Maybe someone dropped it?]
[ooc: It's. Been a while but hopefully I'm not too rusty with her! If anyone has any questions or anything, feel free to pm or something.]
C
Oh, he knows her! What he does not know is that suspicious pot of gold she's pointing at.]
Hmm? No, I'm afraid not. Was it just lying here?

[Not only is Otto not wearing a single shred of green, he's refusing to entertain the notion of pranks. This makes him a very beloved target of the yellow caps. He'd hide away in his workshop, but every so often he has to go out for things like food. As he strides through the streets, the pranks follow him mercilessly. He does his best to avoid the suffering. A tile in the pavement suddenly shifts and tilts sideways, forming a very nice tripping hazard, but he steps over it with ease. A fake spider is shot his way, landing right before his feet, but he doesn't even flinch. Instead, he steps on it. Paint falls off scaffolding and would hit him, had one of the tentacles not intercepted the can and put it back.
Feel free to be impressed at this point.
He can't avoid his fate forever, though. Eventually, the yellow caps get him good when he makes the mistake of stopping for some coffee-to-go. As he leaves the shop, he takes a reckless sip of his drink, only to immediately spit it back out. The little jerks dumped a very extreme amount of salt in his coffee.]
Damn it all!
[If your character wasn't already in the way of that initial spit-take, they might instead want to watch out for the still-quite-full cup that's being flung their way. He's not aiming at anyone in particular, but that doesn't make it any better, now does it?]
[B.2]
[It doesn't get any easier for Otto from hereon out. The suddenly tied shoelaces are a sore reminder that perhaps walking around on his tentacles instead of his normal legs is the better option after all. He trips and while he manages to catch himself before he can hit the ground too hard, it leaves an opening. A golden opportunity.
A shoe fanatic rushes in to try and nab his boots right off his feet. That was a huge mistake on that guy's part.
Within five seconds, Otto is standing upright again and the shoe fanatic? He's dangling upside down, several feet above the ground, held up by his ankle by one of the tentacles. Much as the fan tries to struggle and flail, there's no point to it.]
I'll show you what happens when you try to steal from me!
[Stop him before he inevitably kills someone! Or, y'know, don't.]
A
He recognizes it wasn't for him. No hard feelings, stranger. ]
Are you all right?

[Aether knew that this dreamworld could not stay quiet forever, but he did not expect that the chaos will be brought by leprechauns playing pranks on people. The traveler does his best to stay away, even though as time progresses, it gets more difficult to dodge the many pranks set up everywhere.
Hopefully nobody will get hurt.
Upon spotting one of the victims of the pranking, Aether approaches with concerned eyes, looking them over for any injuries.]
Are you okay?
[Will he be of some help or will he also fall victim to another prank?!]
2. Follow the rainbow
[As the story about gold hidden at the end of the rainbow reaches his ears, Aether's curiosity is definitely piqued. The adventure is calling, after all, even though finding treasure at rainbow's end seems like a silly idea to begin with.
But then again, they're in a dreamworld now and Aether has seen stranger things in his life. Every world has its own rules.
With that in mind, the traveler decides to give it a try, but soon enough he finds that the leprechauns are looking for the same thing. And they're not exactly nice about it. That alone is making Aether reconsider his plans. Except then he suddenly spots a rainbow that is floating away and there sure is a pot of gold attached to it!]
...I... I'm seeing things, right?
[Soon he reminds himself again that anything can happen here... But the problem still remains: how does one catch a rainbow?!]
3. Defender of gold
[Eventually, with help from someone else most likely, Aether manages to find a pot of gold! Maybe it's not the exactly same one that has been carried away by the rainbow, maybe he stumbled upon it by pure accident. This one is protected by a leprechaun and Aether sighs a bit. He has no use for gold here, if anything just the idea of treasure hunting was fun enough for him, so he explains that to the creature and in return the leprechaun tells him that the pot needs to be protected at all cost. A great misfortune may befall those who take it and... that's really no good.
Aether ponders whether to believe that story or not, then again, in this world nobody is in need of money, so maybe he can manage to convince the finders to just consider themselves lucky that they found the legendary gold and that they don't need to take it.
And if not, he can still fight, too. He's not expecting any serious fights, though, and he'd rather no hurt anyone over something so silly.]
Well, okay then. I'm good at defending.
[He's definitely done many commissions like that before.]
4. Wildcard
[Hit me with anything or contact me and let's set up a different scenario if you'd like! :D]
Follow the Rainbow
[But when Aether catches his attention, Chongyun looks up, his eyes widening.]
Ah..! Is that the rainbow?

(Peace was never an option.
The moment the pranks began, Tsurumaru rose to the call. Would it be easier to collect four leaf clovers? Or try to chase down a few troublesome leprechauns? Sure! But where would the fun be in that? His sleeves are stained purple and orange with paint and he's armed with a pair of sweet new kicks for extra mobility.
Catch Tsurumaru (or don't) because he's not holding back with his pranks…)

Hunter De Vil | OTA
[ Hunter grimaced at his reflection in the store window. Half a minute ago, he was just minding his own business, walking down the street, meaning to release a noisy toad into the plaza and claim it was a "money toad." Now? He's coated in green powder, ruining his nice clothes and managing to dye only the right side of his head. Distressing on so many levels.
Could anyone blame him for glaring at the little yellow hatted men laughing at him from the bushes? No, they should not. And they really shouldn't judge him for collaring one and roughly dragging it out. ]
Why you little… Fix this! Now!
[ "... Okay!" The hat man smiles as it throws another cloud of green into the boy's face. ]
Gah! My eyes! [ He drops the little man and starts rubbing at his face, blindly stumbling back as another yellow hat man runs over to trip him. Next thing Hunter knows, he's falling backwards into a nearby shrubbery. The yellow hats are greatly enjoying the kid's misfortune now. ]
#prankwar
[ Little did he realize that was only the beginning of a particularly rotten streak of luck.
The boy's first notion was to get back at the yellow hat men with some pranks of his own, but every time he tries his schemes blow up in his face! #icebucket? It spilled onto his head the moment he climbed down the ladder! #honeyandfeather? The flower dogs had a field day licking all the spilled honey up! #wakeupcall? Yellow cap slept right through Hunter getting peppered by a startled spice noodle! And that's not even counting all the times his ideas have been derailed by the sudden onset of dog brain.
His latest attempt ended with him having to crawl out of the fountain in the plaza. Most of the dye has washed out of his hair by now, but with everything sopping wet and his eyeliner running down his face for the umpteenth time he still looks like a complete mess. The boy hasn't even bothered to fix his teeth or nails, or remove the puppy dog tail for that matter. Why bother at this point? They're only gonna come out again because of some stupid toy or some stupid animal wandering into his sight while he's stuck trying to do one simple thing that even a stupid snowflake could– ]
Augh! Why?! WHY ME?!
#SHOES
[ The last straw had nothing to do with pranks or trying to pull them. He didn't even try anything this time. He just ran into someone trying to steal his red designer trainers from off his feet.
He no longer had the spoons to human. His first resort was to dog.
The good news was he managed to startle the shoe thief away with his mad barking. The bad news? Well, that shoe mania seems to have rubbed off on him… While he was still in dog mode.
If anyone finds themselves missing a shoe (a single shoe!) they may want to check the benches. Hunter's crouched underneath, gnawing at the side of a perfectly good shoe. Hopefully most of it hasn't been torn to shreds by the time you find him. ]
#Wildcard
[ Wanna do something else? Hit me up at

[ Xiao must have one of those personalities... You know. The one that makes people and these yellow caps want to prank him. Already today he's been tripped, his ribbon-like ornament tied up and around random objects that he's tried to pass by... And paint thrown his way.
And he's tired of it. Truthfully Xiao isn't the type to get angry and seek revenge. He just doesn't hold onto his agitation and for good reason.
So he's just trying to prevent anything else from happening. Which is why he's crouched down in this field of clovers. Seems to be the easiest solution, right? ]
( C2: Okay Now What )
[ Thankfully there's no need to worry about Xiao taking anything. He does stand there, a pot of gold in front of him, with hands about his hips. Xiao is puzzling over how to handle the situation. Clearly it belongs to someone and Xiao doesn't quite want to leave... ]
Hmmm. How troublesome.
( C3: Protect the Gold! )
[ Well however things work out above the owner of said pot of gold ends up coming by and rather impressed that Xiao wouldn't think to take any. That being the case? Well why not tell him to just keep watching it?
So that's how he's now ended up sitting next to the pot of gold. Looking irritated with his eyes closed. Spear about his shoulder. He looks like he's pretty calm and comfortable until - ]
Do not think about taking another step forward.
( Wildcard )
[ Alternatively, if nothing above works then by all means hit me with your best shot. Or you can plot with me at
C2
He might spy the poor Yaksha hovering over the pot of- whatever that is? Gold? With that token frown on his lips. So, Venti wanders over with a curious look on his face.]
Why, we meet again! This time with... Ehe? What are you doing with that?

[Bennett had not become a victim of the bad luck pranks; after all, when your life is full of bad luck, adding more to it doesn't really change things. But when he heard there were ways to mitigate your bad luck, well… It was worth a shot.
…It wasn't going well.]
Haaah… Another three-leaf clover. There's gotta be a four-leaf in here somewhere!
[He says, squatting down in a field full of clovers. Surely the one he was searching for had to be somewhere among these, right?]
[B-1]
[Bennett felt like maybe his luck was turning around. Those fancy new shoemakers in town agreed to make him a new pair of adventuring boots, ones made to be exceptionally durable and able to resist damage from any manner of floor trap, even spikes and pits! In his eyes, it was definitely his lucky day, these bad boys were going to come in handy.
But there's no such thing as a lucky day for Bennett. No sooner did he try on his new boots and try to move, he discovered that, well… he couldn't!]
…Huh? H-hey, why can't I move my legs… Hey, somebody help! I can't move!
[C-2]
[So today isn't exactly Bennett's day. Most days aren't, he's used to it. He keeps his expectations low, so even the smallest bit of fortune that comes his way seems truly extraordinary.]
No way! A pot of gold, just right out in the open! I must have used up all my bad luck for the day, this is a miracle!
[So when something big happens, it's truly astounding to him. Except this particular instance is not good fortune. He might need to be stopped from getting any closer, before he invites grave misfortune upon himself.]
[D-1]
[Things just keep getting weirder and weirder. Now Bennett's been drafted against his will in a war between the Red Cones and the Red Caps.]
Umm… [He has his misgivings about the whole thing, even as he adjusts the size-appropriate red cone hat he has on his head. He looks around as some of the others that had also been conscripted. All of them much taller than the people they were fighting against.] …Isn't it kinda cheating to have us here?
[It seemed a touch unfair to him.]

Oh, there he is. ]

Alastor enjoyed a bit of mischief now and then, but water bucket above the door? Shoelaces suddenly tied? A bit dull, don't you think? Particularly since it was always so obvious who was behind it.
But when you had shadows at your command? You could really mess with people while keeping your hands proverbially clean.
So while Alastor would chat and distract others, his shadow would start very subtly rearranging things that the person he was talking to could see out of the corner of their eye. Just enough to make them question if things were actually moving or if they were going crazy.
Let the fun begin.
Shoemakers - Aborted Thefts
The blue-capped leprechauns were fascinated by Alastor's footwear. It was really starting to get on his nerves.
His shoes didn't look all that different from normal dress shoes save the large red deer prints on the soles. No, what fascinated the little creatures was the fact that when he walked, it didn't sound like footsteps. Instead, it sounded like hooves. They wanted his shoes to study them, to figure out how that worked.
And Alastor's patience was running very, very thin.
He danced out of the way of another attempt, bent himself in half so his face was mere inches from the offender, and grinned with a far-too-wide smile, ears flat against his skull.

Red Cones v. Red Caps
WARNING: VIOLENCE
Taller fighters wanted? Alastor stood at seven feet tall. Should be tall enough to make the cut.
Regardless, the moment he heard there was to be another culling of redcaps, Alastor had made a beeline to sign up. The little creatures could be quite the tasty substitute for other more...unacceptable...meats. Plus no one seemed to mind when he got the slaughter out of his system by thinning out the redcaps.
Wins all around, really.
At least he waited until the proverbial whistle was blown before he went on the attack, wide grin displaying his fangs and claws at the ready as his shadow shifted shape to start herding the little creatures about.
"IT'S BACK! RUN!" one of the redcaps (a survivor from a previous culling, apparently) shrieked, abandoning its post and fleeing.

And some, it seems, are a touch more mischievous than others.
Their conversation hadn't been much of substance to start with, as Asura had only gone into town to resupply some essentials and isn't much for small talk, but when Yae's small familiars begin to prod him with their master feigning ignorance, he is moved to rebut:]
They have the same demon force as you.
