Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


i.Main Street

Main Street has settled in for January, but there are still Christmas Decorations here and there to liven things up a little bit. Feel free to shop, mingle with the locals or explore the castle grounds.

Though after hours there are still some shadows that venture into the streets. Not everything here is as peaceful as it seems, and it’s best to defeat the corroded trespassers before they cause trouble.

ii. Cookie Overload

Do you like free cookies? Of course! Everyone does. After the Christmas Rush, there are plenty to go around, available only after the sun goes down to any hungry passerby. There are cookies of all styles and flavors. But watch out for the dreader sriracha cookie. It will make you breathe fire in three flavors and gives a bit of heartburn after, but the aftertaste will leave you craving more.


iii. The Eighth Wonder of the World
Now that the jungle has been purified, Apprentices can wander through to explore all the things the jungle has to offer. Take a (still somewhat shambly) riverboat and explore the river, or come to chat and trade with the villagers. (Shrunken heads, two for one special!) But beware. Even though the jungle is purified, it’s not a safe place. In this kingdom of animals, someone is always hungry.


iv. Pin It On Them
Some smugglers are hanging around the outskirts of New Orleans, selling dubious looking items from even more dubious looking bags. Do you buy from them? Haggle? Steal? (not recommended) Or quietly try to alert any sort of authority (good luck) The choice is yours.


v. Battle Mesa Gate
While the jungle may be purified, many other Kingdoms are still seething with corrosion. Erstwhile Apprentices will find such corrosion on the banks of the Rivers of America, right where the jungle river joins in. Fight corroded creatures on the shore and in the water and be careful, they are stronger than they look and cleverer than they seem.

"What a surprisingly mundane answer."

Kind of boring really, here he had been almost hoping the new arrival was casing the place just so there would be something less homespun and wholesome happening in town.

"You are a tourist then... Doing the whole sightseeing thing?"

[petite_ancient_one]

"If you're looking for something exciting, perhaps you should look somewhere else, boy."

She turns back to window. So far this one isn't as much of a prick as the other feathered being (she is refusing to call him an angel).

"I'm in the same position as you are. Taken from one world and brought to here to fight some creatures. I would hardly call that being a tourist."

[serpentinthegarden]

"You must be green right through the mirror or you would know that the only thing exciting in this town are strange new window shoppers. "

Who called him boy, which was curious as he had never been one but certainly not the worst anyone had ever called him.

"There's no night life, at all."

He stood back a minute, not coming any nearer or moving further away, just observing her with those sunglass hidden eyes of his.

"The ears are very Tolkien."

[petite_ancient_one]

"If you were creative you could make your own excitement and not rely on window shoppers for your entertainment." She knows if any of the other from the Night Court inner circle were here, there would definitely be more excitement to go around.

She looks back at him and arches a brow. "What do you mean by Tolkien? This body is High Fey."

[serpentinthegarden]

"I have hobbies."

Which didn't mean to say he was going to let her in on what any of those were. If there was no nightlife well, one could make their own with a lot of wine, a fine meal, and an angel to cuddle up with. But, unfortunately it was during the day, his place of work was closed for a small vacation, and for the moment she was the most 'new' thing on the sidewalk.

"More Midsummer's Night Dream then..."

He spoke like it didn't matter as it didn't really.

"Where did you come from? Your world had to have a name."

[petite_ancient_one]

"I still have no idea what you are referring to. There are Midsummer festivals in the world I came from, but it is not widely celebrated in the Night Court." And she is assuming that 'Midsummer's Night Dream' had nothing to do with a festival. It sounded like a title to a play.

"The world that I came from before here was called Prythian. Before that, the world was still very young and didn't have a common name yet."

[serpentinthegarden]

"Not really up on your Earth pop culture. Makes sense if you are from... What did you call it, Prythian?"

The demon's wings flexed slightly as a chill breeze blew through them ruffling his feathers.

"I was saying you look like an elf."

He wiggles his fingers near the side of his head indicating her ears.

"All Fey have those?"
