[Alasonnet]

She beamed proudly. "Good to know he wasn't too much of a hassle. Wait... a hurt lady?"

She blinked in surprise, then frowned. "Where is this lady? She needs to get taken care of."

((I need to get to bed anyways... night everyone!))

Mana chan woke up early this day especially to go up the hill to collect important herbs for her new love-potion "this potion should be a big attraction for my booth in the festival!" she said cheerfully with a giggle.. looking at the little wolf pup that followed her yesterday night.."you wanna try any of my potions little one?" she said to the wolf in a wicked smile.. the wolfed backed away sensing the strange aura in mana's potions..
"ok` i give up" she sighed.. i guess you know what's best for you little one" mana smirked, then went back to searching for the herbs

((Meh I started posting yesterday but then I forgot))

Lik woke up early today and hurriedly opened his wallet and started to count out his money. He had forgotten to pay rent yesterday and the landlady wasn't a person to mess with over money.
He sighed in relief when he counted out the exact amount and still had a bit leftover.
"I was sure I wasn't gonna make the payment" he breathed.
He headed out the door after dressing himself and then dropped off the money.

Cheea quickly dressed. Finally, a day she wasn't expected to work! She was so glad she had said she was christian to her boss. The hermaphroditic girl combed and fixed her hair, then ran out the door.

When she arrived at the Lotus Festival, things were beginning to get busy. Eagerly, she checked her wallet. She had enough for some fun, but she would have to spend responsibly... That meant she couldn't spend all of her money on games. The girl grinned as she ran up to a stand and bought some pocky.

[Squid]

The festival was halfway through, and Squid was feeling deliciously content.

There truly was nothing like a good flower viewing to set things right in the world. Troubles could be forgotten when one looked at all of the beautiful blossoming trees. The petals that seemed to float on the very air were enough to clear the mind of any problems in the world.

For a week or two, at least.

Squid had managed to climb up one of the trees with branches low enough and strong enough to support its weight. Some tentacles curled around the brances while others dangled down, brushing the tops of the heads of the taller festival goers.

Relaxing.

[ElataDiscordia]

The bar waitress-and-sometimes-stripper saw the tentacles and blinked, poking one of them lightly. Pink tentacles... How odd. After a few moments, Cheea looked up the tree. A squid? A pink squid? "Um... Wow. I wonder if someone left that there..." she murmured.

((OOC: Sorry, I didn't catch your post sooner XD This RP went really fast the last couple days that your post got lost in it. I'll put down this post and then I have to go to work. I should be back in a couple hours.))

Drend made a comment about the festivals and how they were often the same. He also updated her on the happenings of the beginning of the festival, although he seemed to have only heard about them through other sources. Linn nodded at each of his talking points and when the line, she moved up with it. He seemed to be taking an interest in their conversation, even though he was perhaps not the type to usually strike such talks up.

The both of them had finally reached the front of the stall where an older looking woman with silver hair greeted them with a wide smile and awaiting their orders. Linn was going to step back and allow Drend to order his food by himself but then he offered to purchase the meal. She was surprised and stayed where she was.

"How kind." She said, then inspected the menu. "Hm, I would like a bowl of your noodle soup and a skewer of chicken breast."

She stepped aside slightly and allowed Drend to order his food.

After this she intended to visit the lotus trees. Perhaps Drend would end up going with her. Linn thought that it would be nice to have a local as a friend and guide.

"Do you like limericks?" She asked, after he had ordered.


((OOC: Apparently we have our own little time bubble going on XD))

[I walk with Time]

Eclipse woke with the sun shining in her face. She groaned and sat up, feeling sore all over.

Luna turned over lazily under the sunlight.

[[ooc: well, bending time and the events like we are doing, I nearly feel like we’re in a science-fiction movie or something XD Anyway: it’s the magic of roleplaying, we’re mightier than unicorns now!! XD]]

The salamander man was feeling generous today: even if it felt silly to him, the events of the day at the festival have been kind enough on him the lift his mood this way. His offer seemed to surprise Linn as well and he nearly felt ridiculous to suggest such a thing. The woman though did not wait much longer –people were waiting in line behind them after all– to read to menu and to command her meal to the woman at the food stand.

“Hi, I’ll simply take some lamb ribs… a large portion if possible”

Drend ordered when his turn came, to what the elder woman nodded and went back to her small cooking place to pick the meal they ordered from the food already being cooked.

At this moment, Linn asked him about his enjoyment of limericks: it was Millses’ turn to be a little surprised for that he was not much of an expert when it came to poetry.

“I guess I do, but I think I’m a little rusty when it comes to appreciate limericks: I haven’t heard any of those for years. And back then it was the village’s bard and story teller that would come up with poetry he made up while being on a drunken frenzy!”

Drend answered and chuckled softly at the memory of his hometown’s bard

Not long after, the woman working at the stall came back to the front of her stand while carrying all at once and with a lot of skill the two plates of meat, the bowl of noodle soup and the utensils her two clients needed. She put the plates down on the counter before them.

“What about we grab something to drink and head to a less crowded place: I don’t like eating while standing up and being pushed by thrilled bystanders. I'd really hate to spill my plate because some hyper guy elbowed me…”

Drend suggested to Linn, eying the people walking with excitement from a stall to the other all around them.

[Squid]

When one of Squid's tentacles was poked at, it instinctively curled slightly around the fingertip, suction pads doing their thing and sucking gently at the flesh.

Squid looked down at the tentacle flirting with the girl and clicked its beak softly before greeting the blond. ''Hallo down there!'' came the chipper voice, perfectly clear (albeit, with a click every time the beak opened and closed) despite coming from the curved beak.

(.. Can I be mightier than a unicorn, too? Please?)

[ElataDiscordia]

Cheea stared up at him, blushing from the sensation of her finger being sucked at. "Uh... Yo. I wasn't aware you were sentient." she commented, tilting her head. "I'm Cheea." came the introduction. May as well be polite, even if she was confused by a talking pink squid.

[Squid]

The tentacle which had been sucking at Cheea's finger looped fully around her hand once, and pumped it up and down, suckers all along the backside of the tentacle working now.

''How very pleased to meet you, Cheea.'' Squid said, unable to physically smile, but hopefully conveying a smiling expression with its eyes.

Squid dropped out of the tree, all feathers and tentacles, landing on the ground. ''I'm Squid. Are you enjoying the festival?'' was the first compulsory question, then a few clicks of the beak, followed by ''Are you hungry?''

Squid loved to eat.

[ElataDiscordia]

Cheea nodded. "Yeah, to both." she answered, unable to pull her hand away. It felt pretty darned good. "So... How do you stay... ya know, together? Last I knew, squid didn't have strong enough bodies to withstand gravity without the aid of water. Could be wrong though..."

[Squid]

Squid blinked large glowing eyes, thinking about the best way to answer. ''I'm not normal, am I?'' came the response, with a wink.

Squid, who tended to find that people squirmed away from its tentacles, noticed that Cheea didn't pull away. The tentacle noticed this too. Another loop dropped to hang around the girls wrist, pulsating gently at the underside of her wrist.

Looking almost like a mockery of two people holding hands, Squid began to head to Flower Street, hand in tentacle with Cheea.

[ElataDiscordia]

She couldn't help but laugh. "True, that." she answered. She had to look away when another loop formed over her wrist. She was blushing now... It felt pretty good having those suckers play with that sensitive spot. The girl noticed Squid leading the way to Flower Street and followed. She didn't have any plans, so why not follow the friendly squid around?
