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.]

Someone left it behind. I would think that they'd want to come back for it.

[ So he doesn't really want to leave... Just in case someone might want to steal it? ]

[ That is someone discouraging. Xiao had thought that it would be difficult, yes, to find something with four leaves amongst a sea of ones that have three. But to think that there wouldn't be any thus far... ]

I do not know of an alternative.

[ As this is not Liyue and he highly doubts that he could get a hold of trinkets that pass as good luck charms. ]

Unless you are aware of one?

[ This man can mess with Xiao. It's not like he'll actually upset the Yaksha overly much. In fact, he just seems to continue combing through the clovers. ]

I hide from nothing. What I see is a solution to the problem which plagues me still.
allegedprisoner: (He came to a messy & permanent stop)

Gold Rush

[ Luca was, admittedly, more interested in studying the rainbows themselves. These things seem to be more than a mere refraction of light, so naturally he's both curious and wary.

At least they don't seem to be staying in one-- ]


Ah! [ Luca gets shoved out of the way while he was lost in thought. It's a blessing he didn't fall on his face, very fortunate he could still see the girl and her dog chasing after a... A RAINBOW?! ]

Hey! Wait! [ He shouts as he runs after her. ] Did you say "Rainbow?!"
whirlwindthrust: (10)

[personal profile] whirlwindthrust 2022-03-12 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Xiao opens his eyes but makes no move to really get up or point his spear. At least not yet. ]

It does not belong to you or I. Therefore it is not mine to give away nor for you to take.

[ This is truly going to be bothersome... ]
whirlwindthrust: (dfwefew)

[personal profile] whirlwindthrust 2022-03-12 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing that has befallen me has caused any harm. Their engagement in this... Activity is what I find distasteful and disrespectful of others.

[ Though he seems pretty grouchy saying it, he's not actually mad. Xiao doesn't really get overly angry or upset. Put out? Extremely so. That's the point he's at right now. ]

What I need is to find a body of water.
whirlwindthrust: (24)

[personal profile] whirlwindthrust 2022-03-12 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Xiao looks to see what it is she is looking at. He finds the thing scurrying around. Vaguely he wonders what it is about them that they would think to ask "outsiders" or whatever for aid. ]

You are fine carrying this without aid?

It's been serving its purpose well, despite the fact that not too long ago, there was no marketplace at all— there is also a community garden in place, if you've not had opportunity to visit it just yet.

[It's been fascinating to him, seeing Reverein grow by leaps and bounds as the weeks pass. He takes the spoon he'd tasted from and sets it aside, then takes a moment to ensure his cape isn't in danger of getting in the way before he extends both hands, palms up.]

Might I assist you? You needn't do all of this on your own, even if you are the expert.
lestray: (a good laugh)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet ya too, Anya! [She greets her with a smile, propping her hands on her sides.]

That's been a good number o' months, ain't it? [Her math isn't perfect but that definitely sounds like a long amount of time!] No wonder you're such a master of this dream snowball trick, you've 'ad plenty o' time to learn it all!
lestray: (thinking)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks down at the girl as she tries to put together what she has planned. She hopes she's not trying to think of anything dangerous!]

Whaddya mean? Gonna get yerself some steps to climb on?
lestray: (shock)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-13 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[This... does not seem to be going well. She had assumed that this guy would be an adult who would be good at pulling her down, but now that she's getting a closer look at him... He doesn't look like he's quite the same as people she's used to. He seems very... leafy. Is that why he can't pull her down?!]

Lemme think! I... I... [She pulls out a small gun of some sort.] All I got's this! It shoots out gas an' all... I dunno if it'll be any 'elp!
pureyang: (Oh no..!)

[personal profile] pureyang 2022-03-13 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh! Yes, of course!

[Oh no, he must be truly hurt to not be able to get up! Chongyun moves quickly, reaching down to offer a hand and pull Tsuru up. He stays by the other man, ready to hold him steady should he need it.]

Where are you hurt? I can bring you to a healer should you need it!

[Someone is not exactly well-versed in sarcasm.]
sermom: (93)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-13 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Sweats.]

Come on, don't look at me like that. I really would rather deal with things reasonably...
sermom: (12)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-13 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's not as heavy as it looks, really.

[Or she's just freakishly strong thanks to lugging her shield and armor around all the time.]
sermom: (47)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-13 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, but I'll put it on my list for sure.

[Now that she knows about it, a garden sounds like a lovely spot to find both work and fresh produce. The farm work may be more Law's forte, but they all chipped in, and she's no stranger to manual labour, anyway.

At his offer, she smiles brightly and slides the bowl so it can rest between them.]


You'd know best how you like it, so I'll gladly take the help. Rings off, first.
lestray: (in action)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-13 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Gina has no time to waste, not while she's in hot pursuit of that moving rainbow! She doesn't even look at the fellow as she responds to him.]

Course I did, an' I'll say it again! Rainbow, straight ahead! I got no time for a natter while I'm tryin' to get to the end of it!
burnbrighter: (💥 028)

I've had worse than a couple of sore knees. I'll be fine.

[ If it's something serious, Ori will probably chide him for it later. But so Sana doesn't worry, he won't be rushing them along. ]

It's okay, I understand that. I just want us to be friends.
keystaff: (A dream is)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-13 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
I might be able to help. Getting up high. Then I can come back and let you know?

[She can just. Uh. Say she is really good at climbing? Or something? Sakura isn't yet sure on revealing her magic, revealing Kero quite yet. But she does want to try and help. Just hopefully without anyone else finding out. Seeing her.]

[ While Aether is guarding the pot of gold, he'll probably be looking around to see if any would-be treasure hunters are coming for his charge. Maybe he has his back to the pot of gold right now... and when he turns around to look, there is suddenly a tall man dressed in black on the other side, a black cat perched on his shoulder. There was no sound nor movement of wind to betray his presence, as if he had simply stepped out a portal to alight near the pot of gold.

He says nothing at first, golden eyes surveying the pot, Aether, and the leprechaun. ]

[ After a moment, he answers. ] Indeed, we are in need someone to maintain our equipment and tools...

[ He gestures to the far wall, where most of the prototype weapons remain unorganized and tools remain out on benches. While Alphen and him can maintain the smithy properly, there's no denying it does get messy. An extra pair of hands would help, and by how well she apparently maintains her own armor, she clearly has experience.

That is, she's hired. ]


You may begin at your leisure.
sermom: (77)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-13 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Organizing, tidying up- an easy enough place to start. And slightly more important than whatever laundry has piled up at the house. She's glad for the switch.

Her own armor is very much a part of her usual aesthetic, but cumbersome in a hot forge, and unlike him she has a body underneath prone to sweat and heatstroke, so she unstraps some of her gear before tackling the mess. She begins by organizing what she finds there: weapons in one pile, tools in another, determined to create some sort of functional system that they'll probably ignore despite her best efforts. Or Alphen might. She's not sure about Somnus yet.]


So... Somnus. Do you mind my asking what your world is like?

[She's very interested in armor-suit people, turns out.]
luciing: (s013)

[personal profile] luciing 2022-03-13 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He returns to his own work, and she'll hear the sound of the forge returning to life as he resumes. The sound of metal striking metal resounds in the smithy as he works on what appears to be a mock-up of a blade.

His reply is a question, clarifying for specificity. ]


What do you wish to know?
maskedwonder: (>:|)

[personal profile] maskedwonder 2022-03-13 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sparks or not, the strange machine-tentacles attached to this man draw his attention a little. They seem to respond to him in a way...]

Hmph. [Underneath his mask Six pulls a bit of a face.] I will, if you watch where you spit the next time.

[Still, he watches the tentacles closely. Really, he has seen Some Shit in his life, yet this is new.]
starshower: (temp 055)

[personal profile] starshower 2022-03-13 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
And somehow these guys got you doing all their dirty work for them. I'd have a thing or two to say to them about that myself if I knew they'd listen.

[But no sense in wasting her breath on that when she could be talking to Kisara instead. Still, she feels a little bad that this is what she was met with. Some welcome committee...]

Tifa. A pleasure, and I'd offer a handshake or something if it weren't for these things.

[She readjusts the pot in her arms for a better grip.]

Were you headed anywhere specific? Wouldn't mind some company that wasn't those leprechauns...
allegedprisoner: (And know it was me)

[personal profile] allegedprisoner 2022-03-13 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The end of it?!

[ He's trying his best to keep up! But this is a lot of running! ] So you've been trying to study them too? How the rainbows work?
