Choose Your Own Adventure: Tuesday 3rd Period (6/21)

[drumsticksandd20s]

Everyone in the class would have gotten handwavey notices this morning instructing them to convene at the usual room in the Community Center to get into costume, and further instructions would come from there.

Once they got to the Community Center classroom, they'd see the large handwritten sign on mock parchment posted at the front table, reading:
Once properly garbed, proceed to the royal festival grounds*.


* - The park picnic area. Stay in character from this point on!

The 'royal festival grounds,' once they arrived, would prove to be a mess: tankards and plates scattered everywhere, (plastic, if anyone checked) food knocked every which way, and the fallen remnants of streaamers, torn into pieces and trampled into the grass. A few NPC people were sprawled around the area , whimpering and otherwise feigning injury. A figure came lurching toward them: Steph, in a very swashbuckler-like outfit, holding the hilt of a broken rapier in one hand and clutching her side with the other hand.

"Ah, adventurers -- and just in time, too! It seems brigands have made off with the royal treasure that was to be given out as prizes for the winners of the tournament. I tried my best to stop them, but I was sorely outnumbered." She gestured to the area around them -- and several sets of tracks that seemed to head in the direction of the duck pond. "Think some of you can chase them down for me, eh? And then some of these fine folk here will need some help getting back on their feet, if you're so inclined."

Get In Costume/Prep [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

Or talk amongst yourselves before leaving the Community Center.

Isabela's costume was technically decent, but also left very little to the imagination.

She had also found an utterly magnificent hat that quite possibly had more fabric than the rest of her outfit combined.

Re: Get In Costume/Prep [LARP Project, Week 7]

Vi carefully adjusted her fake cat ears and tail, as well as making sure the small hand drum she'd found was firmly attached to her belt.

Guillermo was definitely excited for this and eagerly put on his costume, he was especially eager to wear his very sparkly and sequin filled red and black cape.

Kurt was all excited smiles as he put on his robe and made sure the ears and tail looked just right and gave everything a final look over as he grabbed his foam weapons and got ready.

Libby was definitely adding even more things to her multitude of pouches, but since she'd pretty much finished everything last week, she was also draping just a few more flowers and ribbons over her staff and taking some time to braid her hair and wave flowers and ribbons and maybe a few twigs and things to it, too.

And there was definitely plenty of hair to be decorated there, as well.

"Your hair looks lovely!"

Maybe Belle should have done something with her own hair.

Re: Get In Costume/Prep [LARP Project, Week 7]

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle's costume consisted of her own clothing from home, a bag for carrying interesting items (like the leatherbound journal she'd decorated earlier).

That was easy to get into, at least!

Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph roped a few NPC townspeple into this; you can ask them for moddable guidance if you like. Alternately, they wouldn't say no to getting patched up and possibly a morale boost!

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[good_for_six]

"Oh, no, this is simply terrible!"

How was the dashing Captain Ada supposed to steal the treasure if it was already gone?

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi jumped up on a table and made a show of stretching before declaring. "Don't worry, my mere presence will improve your humble lives."

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[outofthequiver]

If there was patching and morality boosts to be attended to, then Libby Melaidia the Healer could help with that! She looked about at everything that had happened with wide, startled eyes before giving an "Oh my goodness!" and flitting over to the nearest person who looked as though they might need some aid. "Don't you worry," she said, kneeling down and starting to sort through the miscellany in her pouches, "we'll get you right as rain in no time! And then perhaps see about that treasure!"

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[furrybluefreak]

While everyone was busy taking care of the villagers and townsfolk, Kurt took the opportunity to start checking the area for clues as to where the thieves might have headed or for anything else that might help them on their quest.

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle was going to take the opportunity to start questioning a villager or two while offering help. Perhaps they had some clues to offer as to where the brigands might have escaped to. The tracks might not be entirely accurate, after all!

Re: Investigate/Help the Townspeople [LARP Project, Week 7]

[mylandmyrules]

Nell immediately went about helping people and cleaning up the mess. It was possible she still wasn't truly understanding or getting into the whole role playing thing?

Track Down the Treasure [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

It seems the brigands did take the treasure down to the duck pond... and if you poke around long enough you'll find a box of jeweled goblets and golden bracelets hidden in some shrubbery.

There's also some moddable NPC brigands still lurking around, though. Might want to take care of them before you all head back with the treasure.

Talk to Steph [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

She's here! All swashbuckler-y, but still looking pretty tired.

Re: Talk to Steph [LARP Project, Week 7]

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi came over, still in costume. "Hey, everything okay?"

Re: Talk to Steph [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

"I'm fine. Just need to catch up a little bit on sleep for the next day or two," Steph assured her, and smiled. "You look awesome. And thanks for the donuts, by the way."

Re: Talk to Steph [LARP Project, Week 7]

[giveittoyoursister]

"Just checking you didn't need to be the one bullied back into bed this week," Vi teased.

"Thanks," she said, rubbing one of her fake ears. "They were pretty great, weren't they."

OOC [LARP Project, Week 7]

[drumsticksandd20s]

I swear this all made sense in my head but it was way too hot and impossible to think, so I apologize for any incoherence here.
