faefeasts: the midwinter gala - IC

[ Her voice sounds bewildered, she's attempting to keep her composure but it's fraying around the edges. ]

Where... am I?

[ She bumps into something decidedly not human, and this, after having wandered lost in the forest for a few hours before finding the gala, cracks the final shred of her composure.]

Who---or rather what are all of you?!

[ Her wisp trembles, then Claire takes a breath to steady herself. This is not the best way to make a first impression, with fear and insult laced through her tone. ]

I.. I am sorry. I'm trying to locate my siblings and... so much of this is beyond my comprehension.

Hey, losers.

Have good dreams lately?

You're welcome.

[Her voice is a shriek of horror across the wisps. She's distraught about the library closing. Panic is bubbling.]


The library is closed and it's all your fault Felix! Apologise to Damen and his books at once!

[His voice sounds slightly panicked, but it's also clear that Félix is attempting to control it and maintain some level of decorum. A level that wobbles a bit as there's a sound of something nearby that's almost like... rustling pages?]

These books are biting! Who's idea was this?

Voice Wisp: Winter/Everyone

(Her voice is a low, soft purr, with the sharpest of smiles lacing every word.)

Take great care and stay huddled up inside if you're the sensitive sort. It will be quite cold tonight.

I, on the other hand, will be dancing, if you dare to join me.

(after this)

[Voice Wisp: Faiella/Sovan]

SOVAN. Dear heart. Darling. Where are you?

Hello, my darlings. I've been working on something since I arrived and I thought that I might share it with all of you. Please compliment them well, these sprites have worked hard for this performance.

[ There's a pause, a rustle, and then a rising chorus of tiny chatter that could be words, but they speak so fast that picking out any word is next to impossible. ]

Calm down, my tiny loves, you'll get your treats, but first....

[ Suddenly the chaotic chatter dies down into a soft, melodic hum of many in tune voices that grow into perfection. ]

Thank you, lovelies. I do hope you all enjoy this. I think we could use a little more music at this party, yes?

[ The sprites begin to sing and those familiar with the human world might find a few familiar songs in a lilting chorus that mimics human voice but with an otherworldly quality. Those fae used to such things will recognize some of the songs as Sovan's creations. Those inclined towards sweet feelings towards a particular individual might find their thoughts gently turned in the direction of that person (or persons) for whom they hold such feelings. However, the suggestion is a gentle one.]

( song list )

[Written Wisp: Damen/Everyone]

While I have spoken to many, it seems my words bear repeating.

Things that the library is for: reading, research, and similar activities.

Things that the library is not for: waging war against sugary concoctions, revelry (on or off the furniture or books), weeping, any one of the many variations of hide and seek, matchmaking of any kind, brawling, or any other pasttime that doesn't relate to the acceptable activities list.

Who: Eiran and Sovan
What: Eiran finds Sovan after the fight
Where: The Starlight Palace
When: After light castigation and sads
Warnings: Healing sex probably. Uncomfortable descriptions of being human.

( that bottle leads to hell i ain't drinking that honey can't you tell )

Considering what a mess there was earlier, should anyone feel that they'd prefer not to risk sleeping and encountering whatever mayhem that might entail... my services are always available.


Voice wisp → Timore and Sovan
So how many pieces did our benevolent lord leave you both in? I'd ask if I should be concerned, but I'm really not. You both knew better but apparently you were still too dense to think matters through.


Written wisp → Island
You had better not be who I think you are.

Who: Timore and Sovan
What: They gonna fight
Where: Dreamland
When: After the sleep fae get excited and Timore hits too low
Warnings: Language, violence. Eldritch abominations.
Note: Half this fight is gonna be in dreamland, half of it in the physical world. You can catch sight of any of it if you'd like, but it's eldritchy as hell in the opening tag, so if that's not your thing, turn back now.

( oh, this my weapon, this my loam oh, this my blood, this my bone how do I wake my spirit cold? most people die but others just go )

[Written Wisp: to "lavender dream"]

[it is written with a lovely, looping flourish.]

Strawberries are divine!


[Written Wisp: to "poses"]

Still golden?


[Written Wisp: to Aoife]

I feel better, do you? Even a bit?

[voice wisp: everyone]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I thoroughly enjoyed this venture. It was refreshing to...let go. I didn't even know I needed to let go.

What were your experiences?

[voice wisp: "hood"]

Do you still wish to meet?

[ Voice Wisp: Vevina → Everyone ]

Hello, my darlings. [ Her voice slips lightly, soothingly over the wisp. ] I hope you all had a splendid time across the threshold of whatever door - or doors - you chose. In the lack of faces and names, we are given a greater chance for something new and bold. May that grace has touched us all.

In the interest of what we call fairness, I'm going to give to give the most recent, and most foolish, book thief the benefit of the doubt. Do return the copy of On Virtues and Lessons and you can continue to keep you skin upon your body.

Otherwise, I do have a fair amount of books to rebind.

WHO: The Unseelie King, the Seelie Queen, and everyone in attendance at the Midsummer Ball
WHAT: The opening fête
WHEN: The beginning of things
WHERE: The Feasting Grounds
WARNINGS: None thus far
NOTES: If the contents of your comments move beyond a PG rating, please mark them in the header accordingly. Otherwise, go wild, and have fun!

( All doors, all paths, all thresholds lead to this place )

[ A light, airy voice breaks across the wisps with a warmth that completely contradicts the snowy climbs of the Unseelie King's domain. Vevina has arrived and her enthusiasm for the gathering cannot be missed. ]

Isn't this wonderful? The Unseelie territory is spectacular! I do hope we don't prove to tasking on their hospitality. Thank you all for welcoming us.

Still, it's been an age, perhaps longer since I've run into some you and that is a true shame. Tell me, darlings, how have you been keeping yourselves busy? I want to know everything.

And those humans among us for the first time, please, don't fret. Our parties do get wild, but that only means you'll have the most marvelous stories to tell. If you have questions, you only need ask, my dears.
