Hollowkeeping

[Seraphina]

A light musical laugh, “The more ideas, the more fun!” she encourages with a sly grin. “And without fun, things get boring.” And that was true.

As her idea seemed to get the go ahead, and she was circled by the wisps, she smiled, watching them for a moment. Ok, she could do this. She could totally do this.

Placing the orb down, she finds some water and sits down with it. Closing her eyes, she dips her fingers into the water and tries to envision the lights. Bringing to mind the way a lovers face looks in soft candle light, or by the warm glow of a roaring fire. She allows the Wyrd to flow from her finger trips as she picks the orb up again, eyes still closed. She then brings the orb up to her lips and softly whispers into it, a finger nail piercing the orb carefully.

Soon chandlers wrapped in draping ivy with light pink blossoms began to form in the trees. Slowly they dropped, hanging at the perfect height, the light soft and warm, offering just the right amount of light. Lanterns began to form beside the path, offering the same light, each also wrapped with ivy, blending with the foliage surrounding it.

As she opens her eyes, a smile appears seeing the lights. Looking to the others, the smile proud, yet still seeking approval.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonja laughed, "Oh, Starlight, you know nothing of the physiology of Asian women. We just get sexier as we get older. The sultry, exotic sort. At least until we hit, like, 80, then we shrink down into adorable little grandmas." She winked and smirked. Sonnie couldn't read Titania's mind, of course, but the Bright One's expressions we amusing to witness.

The monkey girl was immediately distracted, however, by Freya's creation. She marveled at the pod growing into a righteous Spring throne. "Okay, that... was cool."

She gazed down at the pod in her hands and chewed on her bottom lip in thought. What could she create on par with that?

[Seraphina]

Forgot the Wyrd!

[Exegesis Agarwal]

The green orb just sat there, doing nothing in particular. Exegesis opened hir mouth as if to ask a question, but stopped as the light behind hir shifted. Turning round and shielding hir eyes from the blossoming light, Exegesis missed the orb sink into the floor and become replaced by a thick ropey green stem.

"Loving the chandelier! Sonnie, potential skybed?"

[Sonnie Wu]

"Skybed?" she blinked at Exegesis, surprised by the suggestion. "I'd been thinking a jungle gym, but that sounds better! Hmmmm..."

Sonnie took a few moments to imagine such an object, and another few finding a good spot for it, then set the pod down. She took a bottle of water out from her bag and channeled some of her Glamour into it while imagining the sky bed, all the little details and sensations of enjoying such a thing. The Beast then doused the strange orb with the infused water and watched.

At first nothing happened, and Sonnie crouched over it, peering closely at it in curiosity. Then the orb sank into the earth. "Ooo!"

It seemed like a tree at first, a wooden trunk sprouting from the ground, about a foot in thickness. A second joined it, a few feet away, and then a third. All three of the small trees grew upwards but also bent towards one another. They met at a point about ten feet off the ground and merged into a large knot.

From the underside of the wooden knot a braid of lush vines slithered downward. The leafy green ropes split into a four reaching down. A few feet off the ground, they split further and then reached towards one another, weaving the framework of the hanging bed. The frame was wide, and turned into wood. From this grew the mattress and pillows, seemingly formed of vines and leaves and flower petals.

Finally, it appeared finished. A few colorful flowers blossomed along the tree trunks that supported the bed.

Grinning excitedly, the monkey girl poked at the mattress. "Ooooo! Soft!"

Without further caution, Sonnie jumped onto the hanging bed and made herself comfortable.

"Oh my! Can I keep this after the party?"

[Freya]

Freya's eyes were still on her creation when Titania approached, but the hug from the little Fairest brought her back to the present. Freya provided a warm embrace in turn, her taloned hands wrapping gently around the lovely Emerald and giving her a gentle squeeze. She would the embrace as long as Titania did, releasing only when the Fairest had done so. Mother Talon's face spoke of contentment, her smile calm and warm.

Hawkish eyes soon found the burgeoning lights of Seraphina's own creation. A sense of wonder glinted across the harpy-woman's features and, as the Joyeux looked to the others, Freya looked to her with an almost motherly admiration. "They are lovely, Sera," she offers, her tone genuine and soft.

Sonnie's creation was likewise wonderful, but it was the monkey-girl's antics and joy that drew most of Freya's attention. As Sonnie leaped to the top of the skybed and quipped about her desire to keep it, Freya chuckled.

"I think that all depends on if we can get you down from there to begin with," she teases.

[Yumyumcrow]

Its over a month. Time to draw things to a close

[Exegesis Agarwal]

Hearing a creaking behind hir, ze turns back to see the weighty stem pod bloom a wide leafy maw with a pair of pink, tongue-like pillows. Exegesis smiles as the 'mouth' settles down into a loveseat position.
"I think Audrey 2 is good to go here. There are more incidentals to set up, no doubt, but we're already starting to dominate the space with our additions."

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie softly snored from where she laid on the skybed (though she was possibly faking it). That was probably all the work they were going to get out of her today.

Good to close. Thanks for the fun all

[Titania]

She barely resisted Mowgli's attempt at making a dishonest woman out of her. Luckily for her, Freya's plumage was soft and warm and her motherly touch soothed the anger away. She stood there nuzzling in her neck for a few seconds, before letting go and returning to more mundane - if possible - matters.
Sera's virtuosism too had offered another diversion and outlet for her creativity, other than fuming, sulking and devising demeaning epithets for the monkey, that's it. She always found it funny though, epithet and epitaph shared the same root.

"Marvelous", she chirped at Sera's creation, stupefied by how the whole room had changed by swapping the lights. Yes, she would see that they keep this arrangement even after the ceremony. "The perfect mix of intimacy and privacy. Without being inappropriate, and it's green", she looked at Sonja. "Tsk!", a smirk appeared over her face as if to say this is the kind of furniture we like in Fairest-ville, you better keep up. Of course, Freya would be an honorary Fairest, she had decided right away.
"A bed?", she asked curious. "A bed?", she asked again incredulous. No, a bed wasn't good, it wouldn't be good at all, she panicked. People would get the wrong impression, a bean couch, a trendy sofa, those were all sensible and respectable pieces of furniture given the purpose of the room, but a bed would send the wrong message. Surely the monkey was jesting.
"W...w-why would we need a bed for?", she scrambled for words, but from roots spread vines and from vines flowered buds, probably as crimson as her own face, and the monkey had already fallen into slumber.
And so it came to an end the first day of their preparations. With a bed and a shocked fairest.

Thank you all for a fun scene, now we can blast this into continuity
