{ Leprechaun Madness }
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.

Gold Rush
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?!"
no subject
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!
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
I ain't got a clue about any o' that! If I'm gonna study anytin', it'll be the gold at the end of it!
no subject
[ Now he's as confused as her. ]

You realize this world functions on a barter system at the moment? Give the merchants supplies and they'll help you out!

[ Okay, Luca can understand trust issues, but as a twenty something he has to take a second look at the girl so desperate to hoard gold apparently. ]
How old are you- Wait, better question. Are you sure that's such a good idea? I have a sneaking suspicion the current leprechaun situation may have something to do with- AAAAH!
[ And here Luca crashes into a cart and knocks it over. Maybe you might wanna dodge; it's taking it down with him and there's fruit rolling out onto the streets. ]
no subject
As she looks back to yell at him, she notices the fallen cart. She manages to avoid the cart, and then she's slowed down as she tries to dance around the fallen fruit.]
Oi! Why'd ya 'ave to go an' make a mess o' things?!
