Paint Party!
When Tristan said that Elyna could ride dragons, Winston nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeh mun. Vega 'as a dragan... Kinda. She says et's nat really a DRAGAN, Dragan, bot et looks like a dragan and breaths fire and she let me ride et once. Et wus SOH cool."
When the diplomatic chap suggested a tree-sitting tea-party there was an odd kind of gasp of unadulterated disbelief, followed by uncontainable glee. It was a bit like some long suppressed desire had been unlocked. As if, just the speaking of the words had some how given permission to something never before considered possible.
Kelpie
exclaimed along with the rest, before fairies started darting off in all directions. "Oh wonders of forbidden wonders that sounds like too much party for one event, surely?"
Another fairy with a daffodil as a hat objected brightly, clearly taunter her into submission.
"What? Can't handle a little tree-tea-par-tee? To bad for you! Cos me and old barnie-mc-grew, will have a good time and never tell YOOOOoouuuu!"
Chest
.Kelpie thrust her fists onto her hips in self-righteous indignation, with a tinkle, and replied sternly.
"Well I SAY! I can tea-par-tay with the best of they! I'll have you know in rain OR SNOOOOOW!!"
Winston chuckled.
"Expect tuh receive an invitashun to dat some trail, an a leaf carried en de wind."
When Tristan made the suggestion about the pig's blood, he giggled. It was just the idea that there would be a butcher in Sweetsong.
"Yeah, noh worries dere. Me butcher most me own hogs 'ere in Sweetsang. Vega's 'unters bring dem in, we butcher dem and den cook dem far everyone. Dat's kinda 'ow Sweetsang works. Yuh all pitch en, see? Soh noh worries, we cun make gud use af wat we already gat, nat tuh take wat we don't need."
When asked if she could swim again, Winston nodded gladly.
"Me swimmin' pool es yar swimmin' pool. Yuh jost rememba dat yuh most 'ave someone wid yuh Oh-Key?"
they would find themselves ejected
, but was not yet so clear on what would happen if someone started to drown of their own accord... He figured as they wished to leave, they would also be ejected and so be saved? He didn't linger on the thought for long, deciding that caution would make the better part of valor where a child was concerned. "Bot yuh es always welcome 'ere an' Chest's swimmin' pool es always ready at a moment's notice."
"Chest agrees."
Quite genuinely, it was a delight that illuminated Winston's heart, face and entire deminor to see the two girls so enjoying each other's company. He'd never said it, but in every way he felt as if
Angela
were his own daughter. Which was of course absurd, given she was 5 times his height, but nonetheless, he very much loved her and it was a thing words could not be crafted to describe to see her smile so freely for a change.When asked about growing more limbs, he glazed over for a moment...
The Devil on My Shoulder
Curiosity: Oh... My... Immorals... This girl is a genius! Just imagine the things we could DO!
Winston: Me wonda...
Curiosity: Two heads for eating. Four arms for smithing. WINGS! We could grow our OWN WINGS MAN!
Winston: No mun, dat's nat 'ow alchemy works.
Curiosity: That's a defeatist attitude dammit!.
Winston: No, et's a fact.
Curiosity: No, all you need to do is find a creature that can grow extra limbs. Then take that and put it into a potion. DONE!
Winston: UUuuuuhhhhhoooooo-Kay. Yeah, me suppose.
Curiosity: OR! Work out how to tranfer the properties of 'have wings' to something that 'dosn't have wings'. Simple!
Winston: Yeeeaaaa-noh. Yuh last meh again, me don't TINK dat's 'ow alchemy works.
Curiosity: Well why not?
Winston: Cos et don't.
Curiosity: Well it SHOULD! So work it out dammit! Cos I want four arms, two heads and WANGS!
Curiosity: Oh... My... Immorals... This girl is a genius! Just imagine the things we could DO!
Winston: Me wonda...

Angela coughed politely, making the ferret jump a little as he realised he'd wondered off into space for a little too long this time.
"Uhhh... Sarry. Uhhh. Well... Maybe. De trick far now wud be knowin' af a creetcha capable af growin' extra limbs den et already 'as. Den... Yeah. I suppose et wud be totally possible tuh make a poshun to let yuh do et also. Me wud vote far growing wings doh."
With that and the dining arrangements set, the night passed and food was had. Wiston, good to his word, showed them to a room, which if they prefered to have seperate rooms, would swiftly become two, adjoined by a door, as per preference. The furniture appeared along with it and was of unremarkable quality, but nonetheless, perfectly serviceable unless one was accustomed to 'the finer things'.
Also, eating happened with a great many stories and song around the campfire. As he had said, the whole of Sweetsong typically shared their meals in the main meeting area and Winston was central among them as food was prepared. Everyone contributed and everyone eat and Tristan and his duagter were welcomed warmly as guests to take part in the stories and fun.
Please feel free
So I kinda fast tracked over the room making and dinner eating, to get to something a little different for us to play with. I hope that's OK. but feel free to split your posts between reactions and finding the room etc and what comes next, if that tickles your fancy.
Broadly speaking, the room(s) can be of ANY configuration you like and Winston would not hesitate for a moment to adapt things to make sure you are comfortable, but everything (with the exception of the food, which is GM, Tier 7+, and often appears to order out of nowhere due to a Capstone with Winston) is considered basic quality when it's summoned by Chest. Chest can summon large purnature, but not smaller things like brushes or clothes and other peripheral equipment.

hit the floor with a POOF! as it exploded. It turned a small patch of the floor all colours of the rainbow
. "OH! I'm so sorry Winston! I'm such a clutz..."
He chuckled, not the least bothered as he began to pick up the little soft balls, carefully placing them back into the egg-cup.
"Ah, neva mind. Me 'ave plenty mar, an' dat will fad in a littal while."
"Yuh shud be carful doh, cus dem are quite fragile..."
The girl let out a little yelp and ducked, before locking eyes with the ferret, determination in her glare.
"OK then. Well, me and Ayla ought to show you boys how to handle it then, no?"
"What say you? Hmmm?"
"Beautiful Girls vs. Stinky Boys?.."
let loos two pellets
(one at each of them) and made to hide behind the table
. Neither shots were well made, but it would certainly be possible to 'take the hits' should either of them wish... Winston did not.He
grabbed the egg-cup of pellets
, screamed "You'll neva take me aliiiive!"
dashed for cover behind Tristan
offering him some pellets as he did

OOC: Rules of the Game
- You have little balls of explosive rainbow material. The objective is to hit your opponents with said balls! You can throw, fling, sligshot or rupture them at your targets.
- Everyone gets one 'life'.
- We will 'play the game' until one team is out... Or we got bored. :-p
- You get three actions a post.
- These should be short and sweet, e.g. "Winston ducks", "He throws a ball", "He gives X to Y" or "they run to the door".
- Actions can happen simultaneously, e.g. you can "run to the door while throwing a ball", but it's still two actions.
- Please highlight your actions using the OOC tags so it's all clear what's going on.
- Saying stuff is 'free' within reason. I.e. you cannot give a 15 minute speech, but talking/shouting/taunting/etc. "Haha! You suck worse than a plug-hole in a pigsty" does not take one of your three actions.
- 'Flair' is free. If you are doing something that is 'for show' or 'for fun' or plot flavour, this can be 'free' also, cos that's just more fun :-p
- NPC's 'playing the game' get their own complete set of three actions, have fun with them! Why not even have them WIN?!
