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.]

[An optimistic idea, but an appealing one for sure.]

Could be. And if they still want to fight after, maybe we can knock a few heads together.

[Shields are pretty good at stopping people in their tracks. Surely that means also laying them flat and making them talk.]

U, uuuuu...

[ Oh no Sana nooo, don't cry??? He's never seen anyone cry, he'll think her eyes are melting or something.

Right now he's worried he's done something to upset her and his hand flinches back. There's a few panicked seconds where he isn't sure what to do and he flounders, making concerned noises. ]

[Really, if Six had a choice he would've stayed out of the way. Yet, things change when paint is involved.]

Then spit it on the ground.

[That shouldn't be too hard?
Oh, this is all so very frustrating and another heavy sigh escapes his mouth. If this is a dream...or whatever world beyond dreams, it is more like a nightmare than anything else.

Still, he tries to keep his cool. Just in case small rainclouds would start to appear above his head again...or something else that would be really inconvenient.

Like these little sparks around his feet.]
inveilsible: (These words cut deep)

[ Oh no. She recognizes this voice and he's already helped her and now Sana is even more horrified.

So when Thoma lifts the bucket off of her head, he's met with red-coated pigtails and bangs and Sana sounding pretty much on the verge of tears as she tries to pull back before his everything gets worse. ]


I'm so sorry--!
burnbrighter: (💥 026)

why is that icon SO SAD

[personal profile] burnbrighter 2022-03-09 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's got a good hold on her, the sleeve of his sweater already soaked in paint, feathers catching in the stitches. The instant he sees her face and recognition dawns, the tears start to well up in her eyes, and Thoma could not give less of a damn about paint or feathers or anything. ]

Sana!

[ The paint bucket falls from his hand, and he brings his palm to rest against the side of her paint-smeared face. Green eyes sweep over her features with alarm and concern. ]

It's okay. Are you hurt?

[So somewhere along the way he ended up here, weeding through clovers to find one with four leaves. And apparently he isn't the only one who had the same idea. Truly, it's like finding a needle in a hay stack...

Six is all about atoning for sins and blaming himself for all the misery that crosses his path but well, this is getting a little out of hand.]


Nothing here. [A pause.] So...that you know.

[This is stupid, his hair is full of dried paint and he is tired as well.]
sciencesquid: (Octopus senses are tingling)

[personal profile] sciencesquid 2022-03-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Otto doesn't give much of an indication that he heard that first sentiment. The tentacle has brought the cup closer and now he's peering down at it with narrowed eyes. It looks fine. It smells fine. Hmm. It's probably safe. He's still not quite meeting Trahearne's gaze when he responds.]

... Doctor Otto Octavius. [He's not on first name basis with people here. He doesn't intend to ever be.] And I don't expect to need anything else.
sciencesquid: (Miserable all the time)

[personal profile] sciencesquid 2022-03-09 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Otto's first instinct is to say something very harsh in return. Something like "Don't tell me what to do", perhaps. But then one of this tentacles catches sight of the little sparks, which means Otto's caught sight of the sparks. That's not good. He's already had one major bad experience with being zapped back home, then another here in this world. Electric currents and metal limbs attached directly to a nervous system don't match.

Needless to say, he takes a step backwards, nose crinkling with moody apprehension.]


Just watch where you're going from now on. [That is... less harsh, right?]
inveilsible: (Am I invisible?)

the manga art knows how to hurt

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-09 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
N-no, I only fell once-- [ so like. Skinned knees. Big whoop. She's just a little Emotionally Overwhelmed, which means now there's a strong wind whipping up. Feathers! Feathers everywhere!

Oops. ]


I-I'm sorry, you're g-getting all dirty...
burnbrighter: (💥 041)

[personal profile] burnbrighter 2022-03-09 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, now there are feathers in Thoma's hair in addition to his clothes. Again, he doesn't mind. He does lift Sana back up so she's on her own two feet again, but that hand will stay on the side of her face for as long as she'll allow it. ]

I'm not worried about a little paint. I just want to be sure you're okay.

[ He frowns. ]

Those yellow caps really went too far this time.
inveilsible: (Your confidence is quiet)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-09 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Mm. [ She's so miserable. ]

Is that why you're... [ a bush? ]
inveilsible: (Are the loneliest places)

[personal profile] inveilsible 2022-03-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't have the nerve to push it away though really, with the paint and the feathers and the tears... poor Thoma's hand. ]

I-I don't know... what I did. Maybe I upset them...

[ Well, she's upright at least! Sniffling miserably, but upright! Who knew, getting helped by a familiar face makes you ten times more likely to cry! ]
burnbrighter: (💥 063)

[personal profile] burnbrighter 2022-03-09 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't do anything. They're being cruel just because they think it's funny.

[ Thoma doesn't often get mad, but his tone pretty clearly says that he doesn't find any of this funny in the least.

But his voice gentles soon enough. Sana's having a rough time and he'd hate to make it worse. ]


We should get you cleaned up. Do you want to come back to my house?
pactmarshal: (waiting. listening.)

[personal profile] pactmarshal 2022-03-09 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [ Well, he would hope so! Because that would mean the end for him!!

With a polite bow of the head, he gives his final, cordial greeting. ]
A good day to you, then, Doctor Octavius.

[ As he turns to go back to where he was standing before, by the road, he sneaks one last glance back at Otto. Just in case. ]

Hey, Kisara. What do you think of the place here?

[ Alphen pretty much lives in the smithy if he's not staying at home with the Arise Treehouse. He helps manage the place from time to time. Alphen's one of the founders along with Somnus so it's his responsibility to make sure everything's still in check. He swings a sword to test it and it snaps in half.

Then he looks over at Kisara with a pensive expression. ]


I'm still working on a few things but you're free to make yourself comfortable.

Pranks

[personal profile] refire 2022-03-09 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been one thing after another lately.

[ Alphen is...so tired. He's been getting pranked all day long. He's currently wearing a white suit of armor that's fit for a knight. It's a shame that his armor isn't enough to protect him from the more harsher pranks.

His patience is wearing thin and he looks incredibly grumpy. Seeing Sakura come to help out in the nick of time would surely put him in a better mood.]


Thanks, you're a real help. Are you managing alright?
startraveler: (my heart is with you)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-09 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aether isn't paying much attention either, so when someone bumps into him, his first reaction is to laugh it off and say that he's equally at fault here. Except then he blinks, realizing that the person who speaks to him is one of his companion.]

Thoma! I didn't know you're here as well.

[It's definitely a pleasant surprise, but soon Aether face falls just a tiny little bit. The other doesn't seem like he recognized him... But that can't be true. Thoma wouldn't forget him! Surely, this is just Aether's imagination.]
burnbrighter: (💥 059)

[personal profile] burnbrighter 2022-03-09 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thoma likes to think he has a pretty good memory for names and faces, and though this person's general appearance (long blond hair, gold colored eyes) is close to a description he's heard before, the fact remains that he has no idea who they are.

But they seem to know him.

He frowns, looking a bit confused and apologetic. ]


I'm sorry, usually I'm a lot better at this sort of thing. Have we met?

(He nods!!)

And when I changed my shoes... my old ones were gone!

[ His help tips downward, as if to glance at her boots-- indeed, she's managed to keep them.]

They hold some sort of fascination with what we wear upon our feet. From which realm these beings originate to ask why, I cannot say.
seemagicshit: (side-eye)

I apologize for Zhao's everything

[personal profile] seemagicshit 2022-03-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they pissed me off and ruined what I was working on. So I had to get revenge.

Don't think these cookies are lethal but will definitely make you regret a lot of things in a few hours.

[Who the hell didn't know what cosplay was? He didn't even watch any of those shows but you couldn't help but absorb it through osmosis.]

You know. Dress like your favorite character. That's why you're dressed like whoever the hell that famous detective is from England or some shit.
seemagicshit: (yeah and?)

[personal profile] seemagicshit 2022-03-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Zhao is rather busy getting revenge with pranks on the yellow caps himself. However, watching some rando crouch down in a field of clovers is enough to make him stop and sloooowly tilt his head.

What. The. Hell.

He looks around, just to see if anyone else is seeing this too. The guy isn't moving either. So just to mess with him, Zhao crouches down and faces the guy.
]

Are you it or are you hiding? Because if you're hiding, you need to try harder.
thegamesafoot: (2D - that's him)

No, I know Zhao's whole schtick and I'm here for it

[personal profile] thegamesafoot 2022-03-10 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Pray tell, did you lace them with a bit of antimony? In enough quantity, it does a bang up job purging the bowels. Sometimes with terrifying violence.

[ It seems this "cosplayer" is a practiced trickster himself. ]

And sir, I have excellent news: I am no facsimile! Before you stands the one and only Herlock Sholmes ... in the flesh!
cranekin: (pic#15474155)

[personal profile] cranekin 2022-03-10 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
(Tsurumaru is about to take one of the cookies!)

...

(And stops, taking his hand right back.)

And who are you? The cookie master?
longsilence: (10)

[personal profile] longsilence 2022-03-10 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe someone took them to clean or repair them?

[Is she a brilliant detective yet? The toad squirms in her hands.]

Ah- if you wait for me to drop this little guy off, I can show you the shop that the man who gave me these shoes? Maybe he could help you too.
