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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.]

To those who have experience with forging or maintaining armor and weapons, the smithy welcomes all.

[ It's an open invitation as any to grab a hammer and get to forging. ...It's also obvious that this magical giant suit of armor is no salesman. ]

Have you worked with such equipment before?

[ She is wearing armor, so. ]
hashtagwoof: Smug (You've closed a door in front of me)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-03-12 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't think the leprechauns can read minds or anything, so... Yeah! Maybe he could let her in on this. ]

So... How about we get back at those guys before they screw up anyone else's day?

[ Just a sly suggestion. Hopefully she's not scared off. ]
keystaff: (Suddenly goes)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-12 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
He is! At least you have him, you aren't alone here without any familiar faces.

[She always tries to find the best. the positives of any situation. Sakura has always operated that way. And there is relief that the cloth seems to at least be helping get the worst of the paint off, even if obviously they probably need to get Anya's clothes washed and get her and Pooka a bath or something.]
keystaff: (Feared)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-12 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's why they left it? If they can't use it? But I wouldn't want something to happen to it if it does belong to someone.

[Which is why she was asking. Wanting to help find whoever it was that owns this money, this gold. Sakura glances around as if wondering if anyone else is nearby to ask as well. A hand raised to her chest as her hair shifts slightly with the movement.]

So it is magical! Can you really just make it appear and disappear whenever you want? I wonder what else you can do with magic.


[ It sounds similiar to warp magic. Right. Nier also heard that type of magic is very dangerous so he should do his best to keep that in mind. In his world, even the greatest magicians would fall when misuing magic.]

I can't use any spells but I can use dreamotion.

So now that we’re here, what should do we next besides from avoiding scaffolding with buckets of paint?

I don’t even know how many of them are scattered around the town and in the plaza as well. There could be plenty of them being put up right now.
sermom: (50)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-12 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm no blacksmith, but I have plenty of practice with maintaining equipment. We had to care for it daily in the guard.

[So no, she won't be grabbing a hammer right now - she'll leave that in Alphen's hands - but repairs and polish are well within her capabilities.]
sciencesquid: (Yeahhh it's a dungeon)

[At this point in time, Otto sees no reason to ever speak to Trahearne again. He's going to try and remember the name, but only for future reference if something ever happens. One never knows in this place.

So he just scoffs and begins to walk in the other direction. There's no point trying to go back for a third coffee. He'll just have to go without caffeine for a while, then.]
inveilsible: (Fire in the second row!)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
... Um.

Well, like this, I can't. But I think I can do something about that.

[ Before she gets far too high. Being high is no good, Gina!! ]
inveilsible: (To find out where your place is)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can... um, turn invisible. Normally it's very hard for anyone to see me, but it looks like it's changed here.

Dreamotion... really does seem to cover a lot, though.

[ She's still kind of stunned by it. ]

[Venti pauses with the slight surprise filtering across his face.]

Your sister?

[This seems to be news to Venti as well. Someone from their world having met Aether's long-lost sister instead is... concerning.]

While I can't say I understand enough about this world yet but perhaps it's the nature of it. There are so many different walks of life here, worlds and dreams all mixed together into one space that ... I wouldn't be surprised that it's a possibility that's true, Aether.

[He reaches out to pat Aether's hand gently.]

What did they say? Were you able to glean any other information on her?
inveilsible: (You've been trying for so long)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
... I-I promise I'll try never to make you mad.

[ Kisara is Scary. ]

[ Trahearne does exactly as commanded: yanks harder. Maybe he does succeed on pulling Gina down a smidge, but he also succeeds on pulling himself up further. He panics a bit. This is all going wrong very quickly, and he was not particularly interested in finding out what was beyond Reverein's atmosphere today.

He looks around frantically and spots a lamppost, reasonably close by but still too far out of reach. His head snaps back up to Gina. Stay calm, stay calm. ]
Do you have something, anything, we could reach the lamp with?!
inveilsible: (Everyone gets noticed now and then)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't think you should push yourself, though. I think you landed pretty hard...

[ So she doesn't want him to run or anything. Gosh. She'll let him guide her. ]

And I'm sorry, I just didn't want to be rude...
inveilsible: (Fire in the second row!)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Get... back at them?

[ She echoes this, a little warily. ]

Um... how?
cranekin: (pic#15469960)

[personal profile] cranekin 2022-03-12 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Wah!

(He lets out a surprised gasp but otherwise doesn't seem too bothered with the sudden surprise.

But really, what is he watching? The woman was a toad! The toad is now a woman! And she just takes the worker to the back room before they can even call for help.

He looks down at Kiki to see how she is. She had, after all, told him she hated surprises and this is the second one in only a short time. ... And quite frankly? He's the only one allowed to be a menace to the people he's fond of.

He rests his arm on her head. Because she's clearly an armrest. He isn't applying any real weight to it or anything, though. It's really just him being himself, a little casual at times.
)

Were you supposed to get anything?

(A reward?)

(He's listening, he's listening! He leans in closer to hear better,)

Uwah!

(He gasps! Is it a little too dramatic? Does it sound ingenuine? It is! He just has muted responses sometimes.)

How scary. What does the imposter do after they've taken your form?
cranekin: (pic#15469906)

[personal profile] cranekin 2022-03-12 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
(He raises his head up to look at Chongyun finally,)

I can't get up.

(He's lying but look, if he's gone off and made himself look like an idiot, he's going to cope the only way he knows how... by trying to menace his way out of it. )

Ah, give me a hand! I've taken quite the fall.
inveilsible: (Everyone gets noticed now and then)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-12 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her head dips a little as she reaches up to wipe at her eyes and takes a shaky breath. Right. She gets the message.

So slowly she reaches out to tap his hand, too. She doesn't want to risk getting paint on him any more than that. ]

[Even as a sudden armrest, Kiki doesn't initially respond as she places a hand over her heart and takes a deep breath. Need to get her pulse under control just in case there are more surprises to come. Last thing she needs is her fear (or something worse) leaking out while Tsurumaru is around. Ah, right, he asked something--]

Yes, but...I'd rather not disturb them. I'll just come back later since it's not a big deal.

[For some reason, the croaking sounds are getting louder from inside. Yeah, better to get paid later. Kiki ducks under Tsuru's arm but manages to reach for his hand as if to drag him away from the scene.]

I'm just glad it wasn't a real explosion.
hashtagwoof: (I’ve chosen!)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-03-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
By beating them at their own game!

[ He needs to convince her. He can't be too sus or she might run away. Or something. That's his thought process as he tries to explain with a smirk. ]

They're going around pranking everyone, so it's only fair that they get pranked back. May as well be the ones to prank 'em, right?
zomboii: (best frans!!)

[personal profile] zomboii 2022-03-12 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Good girl♥ That's encouraging. He gives her head another pat before letting it fall so he can take her hands in his. He takes a step back and gives the barest of tugs, a prompt for her to follow him--he can help her with the rest of her paint and feathers, and since he's just an unwavering font of positivity, he's safer than your average dreamer when it comes to those nasty pranks. ]

[Hold on, Diluc knows that voice.]

Bennett?

[It sure is! The young adventurer who has more or less been adopted by all of the older, retired guildmembers is here in the flesh. And flailing in an attempt to walk in what appear to be boots made of concrete.

That tracks.

Diluc's heard about other people from Teyvat appearing in town, but this is the first he's seen of anyone. At least it's a familiar face, and one he's more than willing to help.]


Is it just weight holding you down, or are your legs completely paralyzed?
keystaff: (In stories and in rhyme)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-12 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. I'm not sure. I'm still pretty new with this, so I just figured to try help out where I can and keep exploring, to get to know this place, the people. Figure what I want to do, how I can help here....

[Sakura inwardly does wonder on that. Maybe using Flight she could get a better look to see where, how many of these paints are getting set up?]

Maybe if we could get a better view, up higher, to check?
grandduchess_anya: (Confidant)

[personal profile] grandduchess_anya 2022-03-12 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that sounds like a good plan, Sakura. We could go up to see how many paint scaffolding pranks are being set up so we can try to prevent the messy paint coated aftermath.

Arf, arf, arf, Arf!
