The Carpet Seller has a Bad Day

Fiesty's Goode Foode

Fiesty Lotus: Ahh, Greetins Fae Talia

Talia.Sunsong  hums off-tune. Fae Talia lands in the market. "Greetings."

Talia.Sunsong wanders next to rugs, and begins picking at loose thread.

Fiesty Lotus: How you been Fae Talia?

Talia.Sunsong: “Starving! “(looks at food laid out)

Fiesty Lotus: “Ahh, Fae Talia, you did say you were bringin me some new seeds?”

Talia.Sunsongs hand sneaks towards crumbs that fell off plate.

Fiesty Lotus: “Yer kin have some samples.”

Talia.Sunsong “Thanks!" Talia immediately dives into the samples and eats with gusto.

After consuming the smaller samples, she looks at the full portions with lust.

Talia.Sunsong: "Seeds for more food? Certainly."

Talia.Sunsong digs through her skirts for seeds.

Talia.Sunsong finds a long red pointy object with one bite taken out of it.

Fiesty Lotus looks at the object.

Fiesty Lotus: “What be that?”

Talia.Sunsong holds it out to Fiesty "this came from the Fairylands. I only took one bite and it has seeds inside. It's red like the tommy toes and some people use it with tommy toes sauce."

Fiesty Lotus reaches out and takes it.

Fiesty Lotus stares inside it.

Fiesty Lotus: “Is it poisonous?”

Talia.Sunsong: "I haven't died eating it, but boy it was spicy hot."

Fiesty Lotus: “Spicy huh.”

Talia.Sunsong: "It adds a kick to food."

Fiesty Lotus nibbles an uneaten part of it.

Fiesty Lotus face flames and she grabs the cup of mead, drinking it in gulps.

Talia.Sunsong: "you can mix it in small portions for a little spicy taste."

Talia.Sunsong: "Your face looks funny."

Talia.Sunsong: "Won't a little Hobbit like you get drunk drinking all that mead quickly?"

Fiesty Lotus shakes her head and then tries a bit of toast from the drumstick samples.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh, better. Yes that is hot.”

Talia.Sunsong: "See, it's invigorating."

Fiesty Lotus: “Dunno about that. I will see what I kin make of it. That pepper in Tomtoes sauce yer say…”

Fiesty Lotus: “Hmm- I could mix in some minced meat. It might be alright at that.”

Talia.Sunsong nods her head vigorously "Your customers will love it. Gets the circulation going."

Talia.Sunsongs hand drifts towards the food.

Fiesty Lotus: “Well, why don't yer bring me more next time and I will experiment.”

Talia.Sunsong: "It's a deal, then! Now what food shall I eat?"

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh and here's a plate of Baklava and a fruit tart fer your efferts.”

Fiesty's Baklava

Talia.Sunsong: "Sweet foods, my favorite!"

Talia.Sunsong: eagerly holds out hands to receive plate of food.

Talia.Sunsong nibbles on a corner of honey-cake.

Talia.Sunsong: "This is delicious backy lava"

Fiesty Lotus: “I think this should fix yer up fer now.”

Talia.Sunsong: "I have an endless gullet."

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes.”

Talia.Sunsong licks cream in fruit tart and starts giggling.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh no- I forgot about that.”

Talia.Sunsong: sings "I'm a Fae and trouble is my middle name."

Fiesty Lotus looks around to see what damage could be done.

Talia.Sunsong: "I can make a flying carpet!"

Talia.Sunson stumbles over to the carpet seller.

Daniella The Carpet Seller

Fiesty Lotus moans “Oh no!”

Talia.Sunsong:  "See if I tie this carpet around me, and flap my wings...instant flying carpet."

Fiesty Lotus: “Fae Talia- we have wronged that lady enough I believe.”

Talia.Sunsong:  "No, no, no not wronging, making carpet into magical flying carpet." She grabs the carpet from the basket.

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “No Miss, please don’t.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Ohhhhhhhh, It won't hurt a thing."

Daniella the Carpet-seller reaches out for her carpet.

Talia.Sunsong tries to wrap carpet around her waist "I need rope!"

Talia Wraps the Carpet Around Herself

Fiesty Lotus shakes her head.

Talia.Sunsong: "This carpet will fall off unless I have rope or a ribbon. Do you have a ribbon, Lady Fiesty?"

Fiesty Lotus: “Nope.”

Talia.Sunsong: "I'll just hold the carpet and fly then."  She grabs hold of the carpet at each end while trying to dodge carpet-seller reaching for the carpet.

Fiesty Lotus stuffs the hair ribbon she was wearing in her pouch

Talia.Sunsong: "There's rope holding your awning onto your market stall. I could use that."

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “Oh no Miss. That is a good carpet!”

Fiesty Lotus: “Stop this Fae Talia.”

Fiesty Lotus: “You are destroying this good carpet-sellers stall!”

Talia.Sunsong flaps her wings "Up, up and away!"

Talia.Sunsong rises a few feet in the air, the carpet unrolling.

Fiesty Lotus watches as the Fae bounds around, not getting far up.

Talia.Sunsong: "See magic flying carpet!"

Fiesty Lotus: “I do think that carpet ain't enchanted.”

Talia.Sunsong flies, not noticing the carpet gets snagged on a dock board.

Talia Tries to Fly with the Carpet

Fiesty Lotus giggles.

Daniella the Carpet-seller looks steamed.

Talia.Sunsong flys forward and she is suddenly tugged downwards.  "Hey!"

Talia.Sunsong hits the water with a fairy splash.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh no- now the carpets soaked!”

Talia.Sunsong streams water, then she flies with a wobble of wet wings out of the water.

Fiesty finally remembers, too late, that the carpet-seller is a member of a local pirate gang.

Daniella the Carpet-seller: growls deep in her throat and pulls out her pirate knife.

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “You give me back me carpet ya hear!”

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “Or I will slash yer eyeballs!”

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “That is my carpet!”

Talia.Sunsong: drapes the sopping wet carpet over the stall's side board. "There, no harm done."

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “Ha- the sea is salty and smelly!”

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “That carpet is ruined.”

Talia.Sunsong picks a flower and rubs it onto the wet carpet "This will make it smell better.”

Daniella the Carpet-seller: ”I want me 8 silver fer it!”

Fiesty Lotus sighs.

Fiesty Lotus: “Fae Talia- can you magic out the smell?”

Talia.Sunsong digs in her skirt pockets "I have another red spicy plant." She holds it out to carpet seller.

Daniella the Carpet-seller glares at Fae.

Fiesty Lotus sighs again.

Talia.Sunsong: "Welll, let me get a wand" searches thru her skirts and pulls out a wooden wand "Willow tree wood is good."

Talia.Sunsong holds the wand over the carpet "Magic flying carpet let the winds blow you clean."

Nothing happens.

Talia.Sunsong shakes the wand.

Fiesty Lotus: “I thought yer magic got better Fae Talia!”

Talia.Sunsong: "Winds, pass thru the magic flying carpet."

Daniella the Carpet-seller keeps glaring at the Fae.

A few sparks shoot out the end of the wand and land on the carpet. One corner rises up in the wind. It dries, free of salt.

Talia.Sunsong shakes the wand again, a few more sparks fly. The rest of the carpet rises in the wind and dries.

Talia.Sunsong: "There! All Better!"

The Clean Carpet

The carpet floats in the wind, and starts drifting off, like a balloon.

Daniella the Carpet-seller grabs the carpet.

Daniella the Carpet-seller stares suspiciously at the carpet. She sniffs the carpet.

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “It smells like rose petals!”

Talia.Sunsong: "Well, since it' okay now, I should go." she says as she eyes carpet seller.

Talia.Sunsong backs away slowly.

Daniella the Carpet-seller stares at the Fae.

Talia.Sunsong: "No extra charge for the cleaning and rose petal smell."

Talia.Sunsong: backs away some more.

Daniella the Carpet-seller: “I don't know how you did this?”

Talia.Sunsong: "Magic!"

Talia.Sunsong tries to hide behind Fiesty.

Daniella the Carpet-seller looks at the carpet and realizes that she can sell it for twice the amount now.

Talia.Sunsong: "Time to go help in the Fae garden! Bye!"

 Daniella the Carpet-seller: eyes the Fae, "You know, you and I might be able to work something out.”

Talia.Sunsong hurries away in case the carpet seller gets mad again and gets out her knife.

Fiesty Lotus turns and grins at the Fae.

Fiesty Lotus waves.
