Market Day - Things are Not Always What They Seem

Just another typical Market Day! Or was it? The Fae known as Talia has begun to sell dolls and Fae food and drink. Did you know Fae food might affect other races... well.... oddly. Or did SHE know what she was doing and merely played a prank on the innocent hobbit? This roleplay has been edited heavily because of length. My apologies to anyone left out of the mix. Huzzah Roleplayers of the River Lands! You rock!

Fiesty Lotus: "Oh, these be pretty Fae Talia."

Talia.Sunsong: "Thank you! I be selling these peoples."

Talia's Market Stall

Talia.Sunsong sets out a doll with wings and a tail and looks at Saphira.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Why, that has wings very much like Saphira's."

Talia.Sunsong giggles and holds doll up,  "Fly Fly."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow whispers to Saphira  "Is this more Fae magic that I don't understand?"

Saphira Mistwalker smiles. 'Undoubtedly Tangles."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "They are very .. enchanting, Ms. Talia."

Saphira Mistwalker hisses laughter. "Well ,you did promise me a dragon poppet. Nicely done Lady Talia."

Saphira Mistwalker

Saphira Mistwalker: "How much would you be asking for that cute dragon my lady?"

Talia.Sunsong: "Only 2 silver for a Jester or a witch or a leprechaun or a dragon lady."

Saphira Mistwalker nods and pulls two silver coins from her pouch and hands them to Lady Talia.

Saphira Mistwalker: gave 2 silver coin.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow speaks up shyly .. "I managed to get some milk from my goats .. if anyone is interested.   I think 5 copper each isn't too much to ask?"

Tanglefoot BarkFellow stands by his milk bottles and tries to look business like.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow whispers to Fiesty  "I really wonder about those Fae dolls."

Talia.Sunsong: "Yes I made Fae dolls and Fae food" shakes bottle. "Special Fae juice pressed from blossoms."

Juste Rivers licks his lips, "Whut is fae juice? Mees is a little bit thirsty?"

Sunbeam Magic: "Pray do tell what is in the pink bottle?"

Talia.Sunsong: "It's a secret Fae formula, blended from plants from the fairy lands."

Fiesty Lotus: "Greetins Tangles. Is that yer goat's milk I see?"

Sunbeam Magic: "Does one drink it ?"

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "It is indeed, Miss Fiesty."

Talia.Sunsong: "It is very good for thirst. It will make hair thicker."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "My goats have been very generous this week."

Juste Rivers: "Maybe, mees should 'ave a drink cause me is so parchmental."

Fiesty Lotus: "Well, I amma thirsty . How much fer it?"

Juste Rivers: " 'Ow much is it?"

Talia.Sunson: "Five copper for the Fae juice."

Talia.Sunsong jiggles the bottle up and down and hope it catches the light.

Sunbeam Magic: "How much is the little doll with the braids ? Lady Talia."

Talia.Sunsong: "That's one coming up for Mr. Juste Rivers."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "I hope you enjoy the milk, Fiesty.   The goats are young and strong."

Grid: Talia.Sunsong gave you Messed up Fae Juice Unity Food.

Juste Rivers takes the bottle and returns to his stall to work.

Talia.Sunsong: "Only 2\two silver for a doll. You like the sunny braided doll, Sunbeam?"

Fiesty Lotus takes the milk and takes a swig.

Fiesty Lotus: "Umm, that be good and freash."

Sunbeam Magic: "I like her very much, she looks so sweet."

Fiesty Lotus: "Thank ye Tangles."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Most welcome, Fiesty.  Maybe it will be good for baking, too?"

Juste Rivers uncorks his fae juice and takes a sniff.

 Juste Rivers: "It bees smelling right good," he says sticking his nose into the opening to smell further.

Talia.Sunsong: "It's the flowers that makes the Fae Juice smell so good."

Saphira Mistwalker watches Juste with the fae juice and smiles.

Talia.Sunsong: "The Fae that told me the recipe said to add lots of flowers, or was it berries?"

Fiesty Lotus calls out,  "I got cookies fer sale."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Ms Talia, how much for the one with feathers in her hair?  I think my niece back home would like her."

Talia.Sunsong picks up the sun hat wearing doll and gives up the sunny Fae.

Juste Rivers realizes the tantalizing smell has caused him to poke his nose a bit too deep into the bottle and he begins to tug at it with both hands.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Ah, that might be why she speaks to me.  She likes the wilds."

Juste Rivers: "Missy Saphira if you bees wanting some of mees food, mees will be with you in a moment," he says suddenly jerking the bottle off his nose and making a loud popping sound.

Saphira Mistwalker covers her mouth, hiding a smile.

Saphira Mistwalker: "When you have a moment Juste, I would love one of your berry pies."

Juste Rivers: "Mees got the time now, Missy Saphira," he says taking a big swig of the Fae juice and then beginning to wrap up the pie.

Saphira Mistwalker digs in her pouch. "How much is it Juste?"

Talia.Sunsong @grid.kitely.com:8002: See, Juste, you can drink the Fae juice. Is your hair thicker now

Juste Rivers: "Dat will be five of da copper coins Missy Saphira," he says leaning over the stall almost climbing onto it to stare at her as he gives her the pie.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "The bottles of goat milk are on the back of that wagon, if you're interested ..  I'm going to look at those cookies now."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Fiesty, those cookies smell wonderful.  I'll take two, if you still have some left."

Sunbeam Magic: "Your salad looks so fresh and healtthy Lady Fiesty."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "I bet they go well with goat's milk."

Fiesty Lotus: "It be Fae Sunbeam- it has them tomtoes and lettce and bits of cheese."

Sunbeam Magic:|"Cookies and milk are a fairylicious combination Tangles," smiles at Tangles.

Juste Rivers: ."WAITS!!!" he screams and jumps across the table. "Dat pie is infested wif something."

Saphira Mistwalker raises an eyebrow and hisses in alarm. "What?"

Fiesty Lotus: "What's going on?"

Sunbeam Magic runs over to see.

Saphira Mistwalker: Juste, what is the matter?

Juste Rivers knocks the pie out of her hands and begins to jump up and down on it, his feet turning a pretty purple, "Dat pie done got da dowrie disease," he screams again and dropping to all fours pushes it into the dirt and begins to bury it much like a dog would.

Fiesty Lotus: "What is that disease Juste?"

Talia.Sunsong: "Your feet are purple now Juste."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow: "Oh dear.  I've never seen Hobbit's feet turn purple."

Juste Rivers: "Mees is just fine, Missy Saphira. Mees done saved you again from dem dowries," he says cutting his eyes around at everyone's feet, looking at them suspiciously.

Juste Rivers: "Mees smells someting fishy."

Saphira Mistwalker: "Oh dear, I was so looking forward to that pie."

Talia.Sunsong: "I didn't sell fish."

Fiesty Lotus watches Juste- worried.

Talia.Sunsong looks at my feet and other's feet.

Tanglefoot BarkFellow scrunches up his face.  "Oh, Juste ... Drow were just stories our uncles told us to frighten us... "

Juste Rivers gets down and begins to crawl around, obviously checking everyone's feet.

Sunbeam Magic whispers: "He looks fine to me, could of been a ruse to get everyone over to his stall " whispers in Lady Talia's ear.

Saphira Mistwalker shakes her head. "No Tangles, we had a drow here a while back. He was ... possessed by a demon."

Tanglefoot BarkFellow blinks hard. "You mean.. they're real?"

Saphira Mistwalker: "Aye, they live across the water from my cave, in the Shadow Lands."

Fiesty Lotus: "Yes, they be real."

Juste Rivers: "Missy Talia, mees wants to see your feet." he says rather authoritatively with his hands on his hips.

Talia.Sunsong: "Demon Drow? ohhhh don't be scared Juste, the Demon Drow isn't here now. If they come I'll give the Fae juice to calm them down."

Fiesty Lotus: "Juste is right to be frightened if there is anything wrong."

Sunbeam Magic: "I hear tell Lady Saphira was the heroine and vanished the demon somehow Tangles, they are truly real. "

Talia.Sunsong looks at the assertive Hobbit. "You want to see my feet?"

Saphira Mistwalker blushes. "It was not I, but a powerful Spirit I let use my form."

Juste Rivers: "Shows em to mees."

Talia.Sunsong: "My feet aren't hairy like hobbit feet."

Fiesty Lotus: "Why don't you do that Fae Talia? It will soothe his fears."

Talia.Sunsong dances a jig to show her bare feet. "There now. Not cloven hooves."


Juste Rivers: "Wells, it does not bees you."

Saphira Mistwalker nods. "Luckily, my elders had taught me well. And, Lord Jaekob had knowledge of a powerful spell to sunder the demon."

Sunbeam Magic: "My mouth is watering for those beautiful tomatoes Lady Fiesty, may I get a salad from you, I believe the little hobbit will be fine."

Juste Rivers turns and looks at the merchant by the barrels and walks over to her, hands on hips, "Now is your turn. Show mees your feets."

Fiesty Lotus: "I do hope so- I will look in on him when we get home."

Saphira Mistwalker watches Juste closely. "Perhaps, in the future, you should avoid the Fae Juice Juste."

Juste Rivers: "Hands still on hips, he begins to tap his feet as the merchant ignores him and suddenly he hits the ground, lifts the edge of her skirt and screams.

Sunbeam Magic opens her pouch and withdraws exactly 5 copper coins and drops them in Fiesty's open palm.

Juste Rivers: "Mees knew it," he says poking at the woman's shoes. "You put on fish instead of your shoes dis 'ere morning and you be smelling fishy."

Juste Rivers sighs reluctantly and takes another big swig of the Fae juice and goes to tend his stall, feeling much better now that business has been tended to.

Juste Rivers tidies his stall, mumbling, "Da peoples should knows dat you do nots wear Fish shoes on Thursdays."

Juste Rivers seems to calm down a little bit and stands there blinking and sweating and shifting from foot to foot as he finishes off the last of the bottle of Fae juice.

Sunbeam Magic: "Thank you Tangles, goat milk is one of favorite drinks of all time."

Talia.Sunsong: "Maybe this is just the way Hobbits act. Is fish a good leather? Maybe if it was made of shark?"

Saphira Mistwalker: "Oooh, I have heard of people using shark skin far to the east, when I traveled there. They said it was quite tough."

Juste Rivers: "Did you 'ears dat?" he says startling and looking sharply to the house in the corner.

Talia.Sunsong: "Hear what?"

Talia.Sunsong follows Juste's gaze.

Juste Rivers claps his hands over his eyes and walks a bit closer, leaning in as he walks.

Juste Rivers: "Oh noes, it done pecked at mee," he says screaming and clutching a hand to his arse. "It done bit me."

Talia.Sunsong: "Where? Where? What was it?"

Fiesty Lotus goes to Juste AGAIN.

Juste Rivers grabs Talia and pushes her back toward the crowd, screaming, "It bees a giant chicken 'ouse."

Talia.Sunsong stumbles backwards, surprised at how strong Juste is.

Juste Rivers runs over and grabs a stack of pies and begins tossing them toward the house, "Ere Chickie Chickie Chick. Eres you some food. Please don't eat da peoples."

What Juste Thought He Saw

Fiesty Lotus: "He seems a bit excited today."

Saphira Mistwalker: "Is he going to be okay?"

Talia.Sunsong: "Maybe we should pick him up, turn him upside down and shake the silliness out of him."

Talia.Sunsong backs up as pies splatter around.

Talia.Sunsong: "Yes invisible chicken don't eat the people,"

Juste Rivers's eyes widen as he imagines a giant egg plop onto the ground and runs over to it, trying to roll it toward the crowd when he yelps and screams, "It done bit me, it done bit me," and his arms being to flail as he sees a house on chicken legs hot in pursuit of him.

Juste Rivers shouts:  "Giant chicken on da loose. Run for your lives."
