Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
SpoilerAstra manages a smile, despite Tadd's disappointment. "Don't worry. I'm sure Master Lionstar or someone could give you a few pointers. Even Kor, maybe!" With a nod, she thinks it's time to go too, closing up the cabinet and following Tadd out. Probably just in time too, as Violet was asking about him...
After exiting a room with Tadd, Astra looks around and tries to find Raven and Anja. She flies up to them and says, "Hey! Sorry about that. Now where were we... You still wanted to see some magic?"Avatar by linklele!

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
As soon as Violet asked her question, she got her answer, as Astra flew in with Tadd walking behind her. Violet smiles merrily as she sees the lost pair arrive, and she flits over to them, with a garland forming in her hands once more.
"Yaay! you're here! I was afraid you'd gotten lost, and so we were going to go looking for you! But you're here, and that means that you can have your present too!"
The garland she was finishing, a lovely mix of crocus, pink hyacinths, and red hyacinths, soon finds itself on Tadd's head, aligned at a slightly rakish angle, and a smiling petal admires her work. "There! It's perfect! May you always find the fun in things!"Spoiler: Current Character List:

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Tadd shoots Astra a knowing look - as if he'd rather be finding the sorts of things you discovered in the office. He does manage to mutter a "thanks," to Violet, though.
The others would love to see some more magic. "What's the most powerful spell you can cast?" Raven asks in her oddly monotonic voice.Lydia Seaspray by Oneris!

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Astra blinks a couple times and sheepishly says, "Well, um.. you know that one time I cast a spell and turned Jack blue? I guess that was the strongest magic I've used. It was actually a curse, though it only lasted a minute."

Violet smiles merrily at Tadd's thanks, and then spins around, to admire all the wonderfully begarlanded children, clearly very happy with their gifts.
While Astra speaks about her magic, Violet looks at her, as though asking if she wanted help.Spoiler: Current Character List:

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
"Well remember when I made those dinosaurs appear? I think that was pretty neat!" Kor interjects. "Also, I can do this!"
With a wave of a claw, Kor makes a dazzling column of light appear, though not near anyone's eyes.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
It takes Violet a few moments to recover from Kor's burst of light, because it was really pretty, and really bright, but looking away would be really sad, and now everything was really dark, but then it was ok, and she smiles, and claps. "That was really pretty, Kor! And really sparkly!" She pauses for a couple of moments, clearly thinking, before she smiles merrily, and starts to sing a cheerful tune, even as her fingers dance on her cittern. "Twinkle, Twinkle little star..."
In moments, the ceiling of the room transforms, no longer a mundane structure, but instead, a window into the night sky, colorful stars twinkling in tune with Violet's continued singing.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
"That's probably true. She does some stuff with the flowers I have no idea about, but it is really pretty magic!" Kor responds to Astra's mention of magic.
"Ooh, that's fantastic!" Kor exclaims as he sees Violet's illusion. "I've always wanted to do magic like that, but no druid I knew could teach it..."

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
The children are loving your flashy magic display, though it's worth noting that the enclave is technically part of the Feywild, so the regular sky here is always resplendent with colourful stars, galaxies and nebulae...
When Astra offers to levitate Raven, she says "sure," then raises one hand lazily above her head and adds, "look at me. I'm going to touch the staaaaaars."Lydia Seaspray by Oneris!

Violet smiles happily at Kor's words, and seeing Raven prepare to touch the stars, she prepares to change her tune, to crescendo as Raven rises.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Raven gives a deadpan "wooo" as she floats around, but Lucinda at least appears to be taking notes on Astra's spellcasting technique.
"You know, when you think about it, that's really impressive," Jack says. "You're just a tiny pixie, but you can easily lift fifty times your own weight just by saying a few magic words."
Raven glares at him (even though 75 lb probably is a fair estimate of her weight), but Juniper says "ignore him, he's an idiot," and she backs off. "Say, shouldn't you guys be getting on? You'll need to rest up for tomorrow, won't you?"Lydia Seaspray by Oneris!

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Cheerfully maintaining her illusion(And having some of the stars circle around Raven's head) as Jack, Juniper, and Raven talk, Violet quickly focuses on Astra's words. "Plans? Are we going gardening? Or exploring? Or exploring gardens?" She seems to grow more and more excited with each idea, practically vibrating with excitement as she considers the fun of exploring gardens.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Astra turns to Violet with a look. Maybe of mild annoyance or just being perturbed by even her high levels of child-likeness. "You remember the Drow that attacked us the other night, right? There are more of them out there. The court is organizing against them. Aaand.. a little bit of a competition with Queen Rena's court too."

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Violet smiles merrily back, and bobs up and down in understanding. "The scavenger hunt! Is everyone going to be looking for things to convince the drow to be nice?" She pauses for the moment, before her expression brightens further. "Is that why the king wants me to plan a parade" her voice stumbles slightly over the new word, but she keeps going. "To celebrate the hopes for the nice drow? And to have an amazing parade for Queen Rena?"

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
"It's not a scavenger hunt, Violet," Astra tries to explain calmly.
"The Drow probably won't be nice. But King Soren would still like to celebrate afterward. Hopefully to commemorate a fruitful hunt, in whatever way that may be, and because he thinks he will beat Rena's Court. They're.. actually competing some you know?"
"Think of it like a friendly game.. trying to get the most points! But, uh.. the King and Queen aren't so friendly to each other, unfortunately."Last edited by WindStruck; 2020-06-20 at 06:28 AM.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Violet looks a bit confused by Astra's explanation, and her voice seems almost... small, and sad, in comparison to her normally cheerful excitement. "But... if it isn't a scavenger hunt, what is it?"

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
"Violet..." Kor said, hesitating a little, but deciding to just give it straight. "We aren't going to convince these guys to be nice. They've been kidnapping fey and twisting nature, so I'm not gonna feel bad about hunting them. We fought them before, and they killed one of the kids too... So we are going to try to kill, so they won't kill us."
"Sometimes a wolf goes rabid, and it's best to put it down before it spreads it further. Or I guess... weeding out your garden?" Despite his knowledge about natural life, he didn't know that much about gardening.Last edited by Majin; 2020-06-20 at 05:14 PM.

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
Violet's confusion instantly vanishes, turning into worry, and fear and she glances away. "But..." She looks directly at Kor as she musters her courage. "If we don't try to help them be nice, then we'll have to be mean to stop them. And all you get from being mean, and hurting people, is more pain. More meanies." She falls silent for a few moments, before she continues once more, and the fear slowly fades. "And even if you're mean enough to scare them away... if we can't persuade them to be nice, they're just going to keep on hurting other people. We're not just talking about a single wolf, we're talking about an entire race."
She falls silent again, before her tiny voice whispers, a barely audible thread in the starry chamber. "I won't hurt anyone."Spoiler: Current Character List:

Re: A Faerie Affair - IC IV: Dragon with Butterfly Wings
"It's sad but I think being mean is the only thing we can do. Show them that they can't just come here and do as they please." Kor seemed grim and sad. "You really can't force anyone to be nice, or well you can with magic, but they'll just be acting that way, and will go back to being mean."
Kor was forcing himself to sound grim and serious, but this was uncomfortable. Fighting to defend your territory seemed natural, and nature could be harsh, but Kor did realize Violet didn't really think the same way. "Well... You did help the protect the kids when the drow ambushed us earlier. Maybe you can do that tomorrow too? There'll be hurt people, maybe you can try to help them? Or magic the drow, so they'll flee instead of fighting? I'm not gonna make you go if you don't wanna, but I think you could be a big help tomorrow."

Practically radiating sadness into the room, Violet tries to refute Kor's point, her voice still soft, and difficult to hear. "Then someone's making them be mean, and if someone's making them be mean, we just need to find that someone and get them to be nice instead. And... I can try? But I really don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't want anyone to be hurt either... I... I don't know..."

With Kyu's words chasing her into the depths of her sadness, and giving her a chance to climb out, Violet's expression becomes a smile once more, as her happiness returns. "Really! That sounds like a wonderful plan! We should find her, and then ask her really nicely, and then I'm sure that everything'll work out!"
As she speaks, she flits towards Kyu, almost vibrating with cheerful hope, before she hugs the hopebringer.Spoiler: Current Character List:

Astra just looks around and at Violet uneasily. She didn't know what else to say. As much as Astra would love all the conflicts to be over... she didn't think it was going to be as easy as simply asking one of these leaders nicely. And at this point, she felt that no matter what anyone said, Violet simply would not understand this.
