April Mingle Log

[thalassino]

[This month, there's a sign in the plaza indicating that the welcoming party has moved to the park to celebrate spring!

The food table is present as always, though the selection seems a little healthier than usual. No sweets are available for once - instead the Station Master will cheerfully invite anyone who comes by for a bite to eat or a nice drink to take part in the spring clam hunt! Scattered throughout the park are brightly colored clams, painted like easter eggs tend to be. Some of them are obvious, others are more well hidden. Others? Well, a few of the residents got a little over-enthusiastic. They sure do get excited about this stuff.

What's inside? Well, it depends! In most of the calms are various candies (not fish flavored this time, the clam theme seems to have satisfied the locals), but some of the clams are a little different. It might be time to celebrate spring, but it's also April 1st! When some of the clams are opened, characters might find that paper eels spring out at their faces, or that they're squirted with brightly colored ink, or even that the clam makes various noises. There are even a couple clams that are entirely empty and make a very mature raspberry sound when opened.

As always, the Welcoming Committee and Host Club have had booths set up for them as well. Have a question about the city? Want to talk to someone who doesn't have fish puns on the brain? Need a little companionship? Both are good places to check out. At the Welcoming Committee, just in case anyone was suspicous of the Zora Tunics that appeared Sunday night, Zelda's handing out a couple more and explaining those. The Host Club is under new management, but it seems like they've managed to pull things together regardless.

Have fun!]

[Is that a challenge? Well, let's see if he can his charm on.]

I quite assure you, many of us are born with charm in our very beings. If you will allow me, I can show you what exactly I'm capable of.

[redboots]

[Oh, this is going to be good. She can just tell.]

Well then, I'm waiting, pretty boy.

[beauchevalier]

[He takes her by the hand and gently caresses said hand.]

If I do say so, you're a very beautiful lady. Everything about you absolutely charms my eyes with its sheer beauty.

[redboots]

Oh reaaaally?

[Enjoy that eternally youthful hand while it lasts, Angelo. As his sentence ends, it seems to be slowly transforming, becoming darker and larger and more gnarled... Oh dear, that sure is giant bat monster in the place of that sweet young thang you were charming.]

Do go on.

[beauchevalier]

[Oh, so she's a monster huh. Well, two can play at this game. He's used to things like this being in the bubble for so long, thus he continues.]

So is this your true form? I'm quite impressed, you do look as if any ordinary man would run away and hide. I, on the other hand, think you look rather amazing. I'm also to assume you can fly with those wings?

[redboots]

[Huh! No screaming or flinching or anything. Not bad. Even Finn and Jake had freaked out on occasion when faced with some of her monster forms. Good thing she had eventually toughened 'em up.]

Oh, this little ol' thing? Just something I put on.

[She's definitely not shapeshifting back. Nope. This conversation, in this form? Too fun.]

What's the point of wings if you can't fly? [Ignoring that she can float anyway. She stretches them out, at least courteous for now not to make them bump into anything.] Ever gone flying, pretty boy?

[beauchevalier]

[He's also seen terrifying things like that form of hers in his world on top of being here, so yeah. He's not going to scream or flinch at her transforming.]

I'm used to creatures like you back home, so I don't see a reason to quiver in fear.

[He shrugs and then continues watching her movements.]

I have, on a Godbird and as one or using my magic to fly.

[redboots]

And I know a magic dog who's gone up against one of the worst undead evils ever, but he still screams like a little puppy when I make a face at him.

[But that's part of the reason why she likes Jake so much.]

Magic? You're a wizard, then? [She relaxes against his booth, wings rustling and ears twitching a bit.]

[beauchevalier]

No, I'm a Templar Priest if you want my official title.

[He still uses that title despite being a former one, but eh.]

I'm to assume your world has magic too?

[redboots]

I can shapeshift into monsters. [And back again, as she shows by going back to her teenage girl form.] You tell me.

[beauchevalier]

Ah yes, of course. Though, what type of magic exists in your world?

[Because he's generally curious.]

[redboots]

Do I look like a walking encyclopedia? Just trust me when I say there's tons. Necromancy, elemental magics, it goes on.

[beauchevalier]

So it's the same as in my world, huh that's quite interesting.

[redboots]

Guess so.

Also, I'll think about it.

[beauchevalier]

[He was able to change her mind? Interesting.]

Ah, so you'll consider coming by the club then?

[redboots]

Yeah. Maybe.

Just as long as I get to meet someone who isn't as used to giant bat monsters as you.

[Don't judge! She needs to freak someone out or else she won't be a proper Vampire Queen at all, man.]

[beauchevalier]

I can guarantee you'll meet plenty of other people besides myself in the club, some whom I'm sure aren't used to your other form.

[You have his permission to troll the club, Marceline.]
