It was beginning to look like a game of fastball, playing the ball back and forth. The guard could not help but wonder if Tarnuun had received a blow on the head. After all. he did not seem to understand the importance of explaining his possible job to the very person that could deny him entrance to...

"Hrm..Tarnuun from Roque d'Ancourt...returning soldier...no profession." After noting this down th Roque looked up again with a frown. "You're realize we don't allow vagabonds...you're gonna need to prove you can make your own living without resorting to begging, sir." There was ...

"May the One watch over you." The guard repeated out of sheer custom. His eyes were already moving over the rest of the queue and he did not like what he saw. A deep sigh later he started to note down Tarnuun's comments. Should have kept my own shift. Should not have played it away! But I ...

The words hit at least partly home as the man of the house looked disapprovingly from Felicia to Aster and back. Since the latter was already introducing himself, there was very little to be done to salvage the situation other than throw it on a little miscommunication -so easily done under the circ...

The little sphere grew twice it's size, beaming in delight at the compliments and attention that were lavished upon it. Bobbing up and down it made it's happiness abundantly clear.

"Matthew of Ha-var-ti...festival...religious..." The Roque behind the table repeated and wrote it down on an official looking document. Next he repeated the actions on a loose piece of parchment. "Welcome to the city. Please report to the One Monestary." It would not do to stop a...

Jonah's hands were slapped away and he grinned. "Easy now, easy...don't want to have me distract you, now would you? Watch the pan." He kept his tone lightly teasing. "Of course it will be grand. And somehow I don't believe you'd be a baker. If I'm already being such a pest, how would...

Going past the cemetary it was a strange change from silence to the busy buzz of the late afternoon. People were cleaning up after themselves, getting ready for the Parrot Parade the very next day. Even in the small village the fishermen were working on their nets despite this being a day of resting...

While Matthew's directions might be true to some extent, the fact remained that the monestary was indeed located within the citywalls. Of course this being the main entrance to the city it made sense that from this point of view everything was within those safe walls. Over the years this fortificati...

The pout grew. "Aw....not fair...now I have to listen to you!" Angelica protested against Motley siding with the Abbot. Yet actions speak louder than words and she did indeed cherish the cloak the little man draped around her. With a whistful sigh the girl got up, still wobbly on her legs....

"NEXT." The call came from the little desk up front. The two guards next to the administrator gazed out over the gathered people. One of them bent over to the other to mumble something in his ear. His collegue laughed and nodded. Obediently the entire line shuffled forward again. There wer...

The Parrot Parade ~ Chyril 26th, OPEN to all!

"STEP right up, STEP right up! Only a banner per try! Come on then, you know you want to try!" The man smiled broadly, tipping his purple hat to any unsuspecting wanderer that past by. A woman paid up to have her daughter try one of the strings for a prize. She pulled, but nothing came up ...

No sooner did the good Matthew allow the woman in front of him -as if he had a choice! She already slipped in before he even answered, remarkably agile for someone with a bad leg- or the people behind him started to grumble. "Go back to your own place, woman!" A well fed man protested, som...

Felicia picked up on the length of the relatively simple question and frowned. "Mainy, what are you going on about. He understood me perfectly well just a moment before. So unless he just turned dumbstruck, I'd like to know what you just discussed." Mainy did not falter for a flicker, thro...

The occasional tip he received from visitors added nicely to the steady pay he got from Haifra and as such the poor Adhiel slowly but surely started to build up a ...

flowflowflowclara! The little ball of light shot away, illuminating it's path along the way. It hid behind the stairs in the hallway for a flicker or two before moving on again to the next room. In all honesty the hall might be nice and large, it was not decorated decadently. It did show signs of b...

The oldest of the four was clearly outgrowing his child-stage although he was more than ready to play along as long as life permitted it. He leaned against the furthest tree in a semi-cool pose, legs half crossed, arms folded as he surveyed the strange little scene unfolding. The tagger was all too ...

If anything lethargic was a word probably scratched from the vocabulary of these citizens, for even the queue towards the gate was one big beehive of buzzing and flittering, people trying their utter best to get inside before the parade started. Of course there were quite a few ready excuses being u...

The walk towards the mansion was far from boring. With Aster playing pranks behind Felicia's back, Mainy was having a hard time keeping her face straight. In fact, more than once the girl grinned so broadly that her face felt like it was going to split! "Easy!" She hissed and poked the you...
