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.]

Where to start, huh...

[She gives the cooking meat a stir, then gestures a hand towards some dishes at the sink.]

The rule back home was: whoever doesn't cook, has to clean. How about taking care of some of the dishes?
startraveler: (we will be reunited)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-25 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Now that is a bit worse than he thought.]

But it's still plenty useful.
lestray: (neutral)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-25 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She's clutching onto that lamppost for dear life!]

I'll thank every tree there is for gettin' this far! [She calls back with relief. Now that she has a solid anchor, that's one step closer to the ground!] I thought I ran outta ammo... but we made it all the way anyway.

[She shakes her head at his question, and she looks down towards her boots.]

It's these new daisies I got. It's gotta be! Them leprechauns, they were like shoe elves. Said they're fix up everyone's ones an' twos better than ever! They did mine for free... an' look where that got me. Up in the air! Shoulda known better than to trust 'em.

[She's still very wary of everything here being free. This is her first big example of one of those things truly being too good to be true!]
pureyang: (It's a little embarrassing...)

[personal profile] pureyang 2022-03-25 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a bit of a hard landing for both of them. But fortunately, Chongyun soon replies.]

I-I'm okay...

[Chongyun lets out a groan as he slowly sits up, rubbing the back of his head. He looks towards Aether after a moment.]

Are you okay? I didn't hurt you during my fall, did I?
pureyang: (Hmm...)

[personal profile] pureyang 2022-03-25 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
The pot? Hmm, perhaps it warrants further investigation...

[Chongyun makes another quick note in his Field Guide, before looking over at Xiao.]

Hmm... you think this strange compulsion could be some sort of enchantment triggered by intent? That sounds quite elaborate, but... it does seem to be fitting as to why people would willingly try to take their gold despite knowing the risks.
luciing: (s013)

[personal profile] luciing 2022-03-25 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ It seems he's heard of their world, albeit a basic overview of their plight. This makes the fact that she wears armor of her former occupation all the more curious.

Now that the context is clearer, Somnus follows with this, circling back to something she had said earlier: ]


Battles do not come without expense.... But you have everything to lose, if you do not fight.
inveilsible: (The words that I could've used)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... [ wow Gina read her mind. ]

So you're from England...! And you're already a detective...
inveilsible: (Even without squawking like a hen)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-25 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I... don't know. Maybe not?

[ she's sorry she can't be more helpful here. ]
inveilsible: (Scratched your ears)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
... Mm. I like to think... I can at least help in a fight.

[ IF NOTHING ELSE. ]
inveilsible: (Undistinguished)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-25 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
...

You're really kind.

[ She's a little surprised. ]
lestray: (pup)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-25 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
I sure am! [After a beat to be adds.] Well, I'm still learnin'. I'm an apprentice, really. But I'm practically an inspector too!

[The dog then gives a little yip by their feet.]

And this 'ere is Chief Inspector Toby!
lestray: (Default)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-25 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ain't it obvious? I wanna keep it, so I'll never 'ave to worry about any problems with money never again!

🌸 A Kitsune’s Tricks

[ By nature, she’s definitely the type who would prefer to play pranks on others instead of being pranked herself. So. This means one Yae Miko is going around, finding unsuspecting people to speak with while carefully summoning one of the lower kitsune spirits to flutter around just outside the other person’s peripheral and then disappear, then go around to the other person’s side to do the same thing.

Maybe it even nosed at the person’s back, then vanished.

No matter what it’s doing, Yae just feigns concern as if she can’t see the semi-translucent, sparking purple fox head causing all of this mischief. ]


My, you look positively spooked. Is everything alright?

[ This just happened to be her way of causing mischief, and she intended to keep this going for as long as she could, really. ]



🌸 Shocking Protection

[ Nobody in this land could ever truly fathom why on earth Yae had decided to go along with this and had become the apt protector of +1 Pot O’ Gold. Boredom seemed like the best culprit but one could deny she had the best poker face on, reading a book she held in one hand while standing near one of these pots.

Why, she looked positively uninterested in it. That is…

If someone steps within a couple feet of her and the pot of gold? A purple lightning strike will rain down from the sky to hit the ground within a foot of them, scorching the very earth and leaving sparks in it’s wake.

A chuckle whispers into the air but Yae doesn’t look up from her book, instead flipping to the next page as if nothing had happened. ]


I would not recommend you take another step closer. I cannot promise I can control the next one that rains down on any would-be thieves.

[ Such is about the only warning they will get, honestly. ]



[ ooc: Wildcard is also A-OK with me so feel free to surprise me!! :D ]
startraveler: (solemn)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-25 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not minding the paint, Aether reaches up to pat her head.]

I'm sure you can.
startraveler: (cats!)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-25 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Encouraged by the cat's acceptance, Aether pets her behind the ear and smiles brightly. Then, when he notices that Phantom's attention is elsewhere he attempts a small, soft "meow" to Miss Christine.

It may be silly, but he can't help himself!

Ah, but then there's the question.]


...Probably until there's no treasure hunters around. [The leprechaun nods to those words. Aether frowns to himself.] I think quite a few people are looking for gold in this area so if they come here we just have to tell them to stop.

[Or fight them in case they don't listen and try to grab the pot.]
pactmarshal: (oookkkk if u say so)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2022-03-25 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...every tree...

The rhyming slang is new. It takes a moment for things to click, but he's following now. ]


Ah, yes. The imps. [ They have been causing quite the mischief, haven't they? They stole his own shoes not too long ago. ] I'm not sure if it's crude of me to suggest this, but why not go without shoes in the meanwhile? It will keep you grounded, at the very least.
lestray: (thinking)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't think much about how her slang might sound to someone not in the know, but at least her body language probably helped in this case.

She frowns thoughtfully as she considers his suggestion.]


...I reckon I'll 'ave to. The way things are now, I can't take a step anywhere wivout settin' flight. I know to watch where I step, at least.

[She hasn't always had footwear of her own, after all.]

Can ya just undo 'em for me, an' I'll kick 'em off? I don't wanna let go of this pole 'til I'm back on solid ground.
pactmarshal: (lore dumping)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2022-03-25 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly. And fair judgment.

[ He reaches up and undoes whatever fastenings her shoes have, wriggles them off her feet, and tosses them aside. ...Or maybe they float away instead of landing on the ground. He isn't watching - he's too busy making sure both of them are safe on this pole and are able to get down all right. ]

Do you need any help getting down? Are you all right?
refire: (117)

[personal profile] refire 2022-03-25 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
We can always keep learning. As long as we're alive then we can keep moving on to see things change.

[ He makes a reassuring smile. ]

It's okay if we make mistakes along the way.
refire: (114 Big MISTAKE)

[personal profile] refire 2022-03-25 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Your kindness still has meaning. It will go along way for you in the future.

[ Sakura really seems like such an earnest person. She's young but her heart is in the right place. ]

That's the spirit. Making new friends might even be fun. Don't be afraid to reach out.

[ Maybe he could learn a thing or two from Sakura as well. ]
keystaff: (One step)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-25 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It does? Oh. I mean. I mostly use my phone to message Tomoyo-chan and Syaoran-kun. Sometimes onii-chan or Yukito-san too, but. That's handy. To be able to get in touch with lots of people at once though!

[It's something Sakura has grown up with but still figuring proper. Let alone for someone like Anya from so long prior to such technology and communication. There's something to be said on that, but Anya seems to be able to navigate things well enough considering. Sakura won't mind giving lessons or something once she herself better explores the journals and gets to know the technology here and such.]
grandduchess_anya: (Confidant)

[personal profile] grandduchess_anya 2022-03-25 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
(Anya nods as she continues on with dismantling some of the other scaffolding pranks apart. She may have come from a time where technology hasn’t reached to astronomical heights, but she has proven to be quite adaptable to handle her new surroundings like her time at the Realm of Stories.)

Exactly, especially when dealing with crazy situations like what we are dealing the leprechauns right now.

Arf, arf, arf! Arf, arf!
startraveler: (ahahaha.......)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-25 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[As Chongyun sits up, Aether tries to do the same. A small wince appears on his face at the pain that jolts through his bones, but he makes an attempt to laugh it off. It's probably no big deal anyway.]

I'm fine, don't worry. Just a bit sore.

[He's head worse. Aether gives his friend an apologetic look.]

...Sorry. I put you in danger.

[Unforunatly he's never been to a Saint Patrick's world. Christmas? Halloween? Yeah! But not a Saint Patrick's one!]

Nah, I've never heard of them before! But if they're ankle-biters then I'm still going with you!

[She won't be able to shake off this shounen!]
whirlwindthrust: (4)

[personal profile] whirlwindthrust 2022-03-26 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Neither does Xiao. So of course it doesn't really seem to have any pull. ]

I imagine if it were wine or some other drink then you'd be far more tempted.
