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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

(Anya was about to leave Madame Blackbird’s after a good day’s work when she sees a young lady pulling innocent pranks on random people in Reverein’s plaza. The mischievous prankster in her is grinning in amusement as she watches on, recalling memories of her doing similar things on the palace staff long before the curse.

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?

[As she's approached by the lady, she looks wary for a moment. She's been found out! ...But it quickly becomes clear that this isn't someone who wants to stop her. It's a potential ally. Someone else who sees the fun in this!]

So you wanna team up, eh? I'm doin' just fine by meself, but now ya got me curious... What kinda tricks do ya got up yer sleeves?

There is a good amount of them. Perhaps I can use ice magic to conjure snowballs at people without them looking and I can even use light magic to hopefully cast some illusions as well. And I can trip people on their feet and make it look like something else did.

[Her jaw drops at those suggestions! Being new to these parts, she hasn't really learned about doing much of any of that at all!]

Y-you can really do all that? Cor... that's amazin'! Can ya show me... can ya make some snowballs right now?!

Oh yes, I’ll definitely try my best to conjure a couple of the, up.

(She then proceeds to use her ice magic to quickly conjure up some snowballs to show to Gina and throw at some unlucky passersby in a little bit.)

Nothing that a little dreamotion can’t do. I have been working on to getting better at it since I got here months ago.

Amazin'! [She gasps as the snowballs are materialized in the air, and she tries to grab one of her own to hold (and throw).]

Oi, this dreamotion business really is somefin' else! Just like that, ya pop out some snowballs in the middle of a sunny day? Now that's the kinda thing I gotta learn for meself!

I’m glad that you’re enjoying it already. Now I’m going to throw one at this man over there.

(And true to her word, she does throw her first snowball of the day at the townie passing with very little problem. The person in question soon begins to search for the mystery snowball, but she is surprisingly good at hiding what she is doing, so he left without any answers.)

Don’t worry, you’ll get to make full use of your dreamotion over time, there is no need to rush things at the moment. Speaking of which, have you gotten to see what yours can manifest in this world?

[Pulling snowballs out of thin air just looks like the coolest thing ever. And throwing them at some random cove is a great bonus! Gina's grin widens, and she quickly turns the attention to her new friend. Having been a skilled pickpocket, she's able to do her part to not draw attention to the two of them.]

You did bleedin' great with that snowball, ya did... [She muses with delight before she turns her attention to her question, with a thoughtful frown.]

No, can't say I have. Just got here about a week ago, mind. I did make flowers appear once, but I think that was 'cos of the candy I was eatin'. I'm still gettin' the hang of all this.... dream stuff.

Why thank you, Miss. To be fair, it does take a while to get a hang of one’s dreamotion abilities. I think that some of the older dreamwalkers could still have some struggle with it from time to time.

(Even she knows that it can be difficult to get her dreamotion abilities in control at times, like how she almost put herself, Pooka, and that demon guy to sleep while singing to calm the baby owlets a few months back.)

Yeah, I bet it's no walk in the park, that's for sure. [She nods along as she takes that in.] I'll figure the ins and outs of it, I'm sure. 'Til then, at least I got me trusty gas launcher to count on in a pinch.

[Although she also realizes she should say...]

The name's Gina, by the by.

I’m Anya, nice to meet you, Gina. I have been in this world fore a couple of months now, since September of last year.

(She lets out a calm serene smile as she introduces herself, though she hasn’t mentioned about her imperial lineage just yet. Which she doubts means a lot in a world of dreams.)

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!

Yep, I sure do, Gina. It does take a long time for me to get ice magic right on point to where it is today.

(Then she uses this moment to toss some more snowballs at some more unsuspecting people and pretends that nothing else happens, baffling them even more before leaving.)

[She laughs as some more of the snowballs are launched and follows her around.][She'll reach out a hand for a snowball and get to work on hitting her own target!]

Alright, catch these and throw them at more unsuspecting people.

(She soon proceeds to conjure up a couple of more snowballs for Gina to throw at people. Splitting the prank load between the two of them sounds like a good idea to her.)
