Chapter 04: Act I
A MIDSUMMER ROSE: ACT I—
§ instructions.
The first Act of our fourth campaign is underway! This is the designated log for all Main Scenes. Others are free to create their own toplevels for the Sub Quests, which are detailed below. Each Main Scene has their own unique toplevel and those cast into the roles are to thread their scene under each. All scene instructions are provided in the toplevels.
Reminder that everyone is coming with a fairy form! Feel free to use and/or refer to the meme for what form your character takes. Characters will remain in these forms throughout the entire act, but will change to fit their role when in a scene. So if someone was originally looking like a centaur, they will revert back to their normal form with whatever extra touches needed.
Finally, just to be clear, characters who are in Main Scenes are not immediately dropped in to their location and will have to step into a designated fairy ring made of iridescent mushrooms and flowers and then return. Threading all of that isn't necessary, but it's to help give a better idea that characters can take a break between scenes or wait a bit to help with other things like the Sub Quests.
Feel free to refer to the Game Notes for more detailed info as well as ask questions or clarifications.
§ sub quests.
Everyone is free to participate in the Sub Quests. There are no specific top levels, so you're free to incorporate them however you wish in your own top level. As a reminder, the main setting for everyone not in a scene is within the fairy castle and everyone is in fairy forms.
¶ I. Fairy Pranks. Fairies are known to be mischievous, and the ones at the party are the worst. They will spice up people's foods, drop cake on others' heads, even inflict minor spells and curses on people! From changing skin colors to turning people into frogs or even bugs, these fairies are such a menace. Catch them in the act and stop them, else try and help those who are victims. (Any curses inflicted are temporary and should wear off naturally after an hour.)
¶ II. Stupid Cupids. A specific group of fairies called cupids are making their rounds. Completely drunk, they're firing their arrows willy nilly, and those who are struck will be enthralled with the first person they see. However, it's not always romantic. In fact some might just want some intense friendship, others are seeking some kind of familial connections, and then there are the few who just want to fight everyone.
¶ III. Weeding the Castle. While the main party hall is safe, the outside is definitely not. If they're not careful, some creepy crawlers may try to slip in. Take care of the hostile plants by either destroying them or by trying to restore them to their original forms. However, this can only be done singing or using special fairy dust acquired by one of the pranking fairies flying about in the party. Watch out for the Erasers, too—they are disguised as mandragoras, so if they're pulled out they will first try to deafen with their screams before attacking. Another form they take are snapdragons, but they will actually transform into a dragon-like beast with a lot of poisonous teeth.
¶ IV. Clearing out Spindles. To help the King and Queen, those not busy with scenes can help clear out the spindles littered about the castle. They could be in any room, closet, bathroom, or tower, so perhaps those taking care of the weeds can do this as well. However, be careful. Should anyone prick their finger they will fall into a deep sleep and must be awakened somehow (the method is left up to the players). Some spindles are Erasers in disguise, and but instead of falling asleep, getting pricked (or more accurately, stabbed), will paralyze and cause severe hallucinations. They also use razor sharp threads to attack and try to bind those they are fighting. But they're made of wood, so fire is a good way to get them.
¶ V. Wildcard. Make up your own prompt! Feel free to use the wildcard for general party prompts and castle exploration. Outside of the grand hall where the main festivities are held, the castle is run down and lifeless, overrun with withering, rotten, hostile plants. It's even worse outside.

[He is also going to reach for the ramen because it'll get cold if he doesn't eat it soon.]
Don't overwork yourself.
no subject
I won't. Not to mention I always have lots of help with the big parties; I couldn't do it without you.
[Him, Rokurou, the half dozen other Aspects who come in and out to help her out. If it's another potluck thing, that'll be a big help as well.
But anyway, YES, ramen time! How does he like it?]
no subject
......But the ramen soup is kind of. Pouring out of his neck.]
no subject
no subject
[Feeling the liquid suddenly flowing down his neck, he reaches up to touch and swears under his breath.]
Shit, guess it's not aligned right...
[Don't mind him, Kotori, just going to start twisting the side bolts on his neck.]
no subject
H-here! Are you alright, does it hurt at all?!
no subject
Ah? Oh, thanks. [Going to take the towel to wipe himself.] And not really. It's more weird than anything...
no subject
[Sounds like someone might need a forehead poke.]
no subject
You didn't know I was some headless horseman. I was the one who should have remembered and considered whether I could even eat.
no subject
O-ow, okay okay! Shizuo-san...
[Geez, THIS is how his big brotherhood manifests?]
no subject
no subject
[Yeah, she's gonna have a nice red spot on her forehead for the next couple of hours, but hey, at least no blood or other major brain injuries.]
no subject
Let me try this again.
no subject
[Normally she'd say something like "are you sure?", and she ALMOST fails to stop herself, but... she knows Shizuo by now, and she said she wouldn't worry about it, so trust him she shall. It should taste really nicely, though, considering the home recipe it's duplicating. Good-quality store-bought ramen noodles with just the right balance of tenderness and chew, cooked to accompany a rich, savory pot-au-feu stew that had been made the day before so the flavors were married even more strongly than usual.]
no subject
It's really good. Everytime I'm always impressed by your cooking. Thanks, Kotori.
no subject
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! It's kind of a home recipe we use for leftover pot-au-feu stew, maybe I can teach you sometime?
no subject
[Just a small, wry grin before he continues to eat. Still going to be a little careful, though, because never know.]
no subject
I mean, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?
[Come on, Shizuo, you're the only one of her besties she hasn't had a cooking session with, outside of getting ingredients for the hot pot party.]
no subject
Guess so. Just fair warning I might end up making more of a mess...
[Just don't let him handle eggs. Or anything easily breakable.]
no subject
[
Says the girl who made a perfect pot of rice on her first try... but it is true that even she is still learning and makes mistakes from time to time.They can absolutely take it slow, and once Kotori thinks of it, it should be easy to factor in Shizuo's massive strength.]no subject
