    Mirth and music burst from the Fairy Tavern - an effusion of noise and laughter so loud, one might wonder how the mundane folk from beyond the Hedge cannot hear it!

    The Tavern's round door's have been flung open. The windows have been too. There is no choice in the matter, really, as the party seemingly spills out into the Hedge.

    The walls and ceiling have been festooned in greenery taken from the Hedge. Rich baskets of fruit sit in the corner's of the Tavern's tap room and in the glade beyond, a trestle table positively groans with baked treats, fruits, and a great cauldron bowl of punch. I hope it's punch.

    The Tavern is already overwhelmed by Hobs. Satyrs and nymphs and things that might be trees are running amok. They have already claimed the improvised stage and have bought out their own curious instruments, which they are playing with gusto. They have claimed (or bought) a great barrel of fairy mead and are guarding it jealously while they guzzle freely of its contents.

    At least Angus, Queen Ingrid's ensorcelled retainer, is trying to bring some order to the collective chaos. He is holding down the bar - barely - against the Goblin hordes bent on drinking the place dry. Gibbering and jeering, laughing and cheering, in defeat, the goblin horde joins the hob's draining the great barrel (and thankfully not endangering the peace any further!)

    Almost forgotten in a quiet spot just outside the Tavern's door is another table. This one is laden with kites, candles, and writing materials. Not one of the hobs has gone near it, despite the large card written in fine calligraphy that encourages the reader to stop and give wings to the most Ardant desires.

    Queen Ingrid is absent.

    For the moment.

    Come!

    Try the fruit!

    Have a drink!

    Make your Desires float!

    This seasons turn. The Spring Coronation is here!!

    There's a lot Abraham can endure - and the throng of hobs apparently intent of tearing the place down does not even come close to wearing his patience thin, nor does he find it bothersome that some of them drink like they've seen alcohol for the first time in their lives.

    But what he cannot take is the hobs singing and playing out of tune.

    So those that come inside the Tavern will find Abraham attempting to whip the band into shape to sing a merry song decently enough. A lute in his hands (where did he get that?), the knight errant tries to bring order into chaos, all the while watching the door for first guests.

    He hopes everyone got the memo and wear appropriate green. He does - the gold-green blazer being the most obvious, but all the other elements of his clothing, from boots to trousers to shirt, sporting some shade of the color. A sword is attached to his belt, but - hopefully - this will be just for ceremony and show today.

    The Spring Coronation. Cole looked in the mirror once more- this was becoming a regular thing with him, wasn't it? Not that Cole didn't enjoy it. Such tricks were a simple way to establish his talents.

    But the end result is the same. Cole imaged flowers- beautiful spring flowers, to replace the metallic frame. And so his flesh started to stem and bloom, with flowers of such assortments and colors! Smiling at the change, Cole dons his outfit- nothing special. A mossy green polo and dark blue jeans, fitting his more natural appearance. Tucking his gift to the Spring Monarch in a small bag, put in a faded jewelry box, Cole made his way to the meeting spot.

    Cole has always been amicable towards hob-folk. While he wasn't (yet) acquainted enough to have a good understanding of their systems, he was always open to learn... And the fact that, at the moment, they were all engaged in an epic bout of revelry was rather encouraging.

    As was the fact that the handsome lad, Abraham, was apparently leading the orchestra. The forgemaster gave a grin and attempted to navigate the throng. Lovely satyr and nymph figures, Cole knew how to navigate a party- and THIS was a party!

    The metalflesh carried nothing else in his bag, aside from some stuffing to hide the box. He waved a hand at the knight, wondering if he would be open to chat.

    Cole has taken the appearance of a Flowering via Riddle-Kith.

    Mask:

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.
    Mien:

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.
    Mundane Equipment:

    Smart phone, messenger bag, quarterstaff, 2 throwing knifes (concealed), 3 goblin fruit (changes by season), mountain bike.

    One certainly wouldn't expect the Monkey Beast of the Spring Court to miss out on the coronation of her Queen. Indeed, Sonnie Wu was present and accounted for. What might catch one by surprise was the dryad-like outfit she had donned for the occasion. A Hedgespun dress of green leaves and vines, with a stylish silk sash around the waist. In true fashion of the Season of Desire, the dress showed off plenty of skin.

    The barefoot Steepscrambler leaned on her staff (more to complete the druidic look than for self-defense) and smiled broadly as the first guests began to arrive. Her tail bounced in time to the crazy hob music. Clearly, she was excited for this celebration of her Court. Well, more excited than she usually was about everything.

    "Welcome, welcome! Come join the festivities! The Emerald Court invites you to relax and enjoy yourselves! Drink, eat, dance! Indulge your Desires! Do try to keep your clothes on until our Monarch has made their appearance, though!"

    Sonnie laughed and waved at those arriving. Wait, what did she say about clothes? That was a joke, right? Knowing her, probably.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    Treasured Nix

    Finally! Spring’s turn had come. And she needed this party. She needed to dress up and simply forget everything for a night.

    The outfit she picked was a little complicated to get into, so it took her a little more time than she would have liked. It wasn’t as flashy as she was used to, but she didn’t want to outshine her Queen. But it still fit her like a glove and looked amazing. Her hair was half up in a messy style, her makeup toned down save for red lips. Not that she needed any makeup. A last-minute addition was the lace gloves, the same color as the dress. She was attempting to hide the various cuts and bruises on one hand, and hoped everyone would have too much fun to notice.

    Breezing into the Tavern, she stops to marvel at what Ingrid had done. And she had truly outdone herself and gone all out! Spring was here! There was a smile as she watched the hobs, enjoying their antics before fully entering.

    She waved to Abraham, who seemed to be attempting to direct the music.

    A smile offered to Cole, seemed he changed his Kith again.

    Then Sonnie Wu ! Sera’s long, gilded legs carry her over to her fellow Spring, the skirt showing plenty of leg when she walked.

    “Hey girl! You look amazing!”
    she gushed, then motions, “Spin! I need to see the whole thing!”

    Sasha

    The Fairest arrived at the Fairy Tavern at the time they were to be there. She'd fished through the wardrobe department and found a suitable dress that was also the requested color of the festivities.

    Sasha entered, the clash of her Mantle with the temperature on the inside of the building caused her dress to ruffle and blow around a bit. She didn't seem the least bit concerned as her long legs were revealed. Upon entering, she met eyes with Sera and smiled with a little wave. Then she smiled at Sonnie, as she made her way toward Abraham Norton .

    "That is a very fun blazer, Mr. Norton." Her hands were scooped in front of her, but she desperately wanted to touch it. "Is that made from those mermaid sequins? The kind that if you run your hand over them, they make one color, then run your hand the other way, another color appears?" The Onyx's eyes danced with the question on her tongue.

    Exegesis entered the din in what looked like a Scottish tartan made from stiff leather leaves in green and white. The toga-like top was constructed of strips of black and white cloth, layered over with a band of green leather leaves. Hir usual black wire sunglasses had been replaced with a wider green metallic visor. A pair of backpacks were slung over one arm, and the other carried a cylindrical green and gold box, like an overly tall hatbox.
    Skimming the room briefly and giving a nod to Fawkes and Abraham, ze put down the box just inside the door, then opened each of the bags. From one ze pulled out a small plastic folding table, and set the table up next to the one already in place just by the door. On this ze put up a sign reading 'Free To All', and proceeded to empty the contents of both bags; multiple sets of laurel wreathes and ornate leather flower pins that could nearly pass for real flowers. Affixing one of the pins and placing a wreath on hir head, Exegesis stowed the bags under the table and picked up the box again before striding inside.

    Her skin turns a slate-blue and her hair bone white. The whites of her eyes are blood red, the irises are purple with cat-slit black pupils. The helix of her ears elongate out 2" inches ending in a tip. Her features sharpen and her figure has an unnatural, inhuman litheness that can be intellectually disturbing.

    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    Circe arrives not soon after the rest and would probably dub her own entry as a blazing one. Given her choice of dress the Fairest seemed to have decided she looked good in flames and not just red. Her hair was done up in a high tail that ensured her neck was adorned in simple and store bought jewelery. A rarer sight for the Summer gun bunny was the purse she wore with it. Cleary she felt the need for more storage then the ensemble allowed, or perhaps she'd a present for Seraphina was too big to hide within her dress?


    She stopped just inside the entrance, free hand on a hip as she stroke a model's pose as crimson eyes surveyed those in attendance. A smile eased onto her lips at both those present and those lacking a presence. Though her right ear and eyebrow rose at the sight of the Flowering before she realized it was Cole up to his antics again. She shouted to him, "Shirt matches yer hair bro!"


    She then makes her way towards Sasha, "Oh yer totally a golden girl Sera! I trust ya will live up ta Betty White's standards of coolness? I'm sure all the new arrivals will find ya stunnin'. But Sonny?" Circe eyes Sonnie Wu as she waits for an acknowledgement before going further, "I hafta ask this. Are those leaves gonna fall off in Autumn? Ya need ta plan the right outfit fer the right season." It was a legitimate concern with Hedgespun acting up with each season.

    Fawkes
    Mien Details:

    An expressionless humanoid with a sectioned doll-like exoskeleton of sand-blasted glass. He has glass eyes that move and blink, and his mouth moves enough to speak naturally without a speech impediment, but does not emote. Fawkes does have the same hair as his Mask escaping from cracks in his scalp. It is actually magnetized red sand; any facial hair (eyebrows, beard, eyelashes) have to be artificially applied by hand.
    Active Pledges:

    Mentorship - Seraphina (Exp. Summer Coronation)

    Renewal Required:

    Good Neighbours - John Doe (Exp. 04/07)
    Good Neighbours - Maxwell J. Pierce (Exp. 03/26)

    Fawkes' eyes shine when he opens the door to the crescendo that the Knight-Errant was attempting to lead with his own instrument. They need a conductor, he thinks airily. He stands for a long moment with a glazed expression before he shakes himself out of the stupor.

    Unlike the Winter events, the doll is dressed to the nines. Though not enchanted by the materials of the Hedge, his fitted moss-green suit is true to themes, with a gold tie which echoed scales, and light brown shoes with a matching kerchief. A gold-enameled rose pin is left on the lapel, highlighting the own shades of red in his hair.

    The hobs brought a mild shock, his joints clicking audibly as a nymph carouses past. However, the hit does not come. No one is fighting, no one is gambling their childhood memories in a game of cat's cradle. It wasn't even that Fawkes had a particular problem with Hobs; that would be akin to being upset with the function of an object. The former Fall Courtier never actually confirmed if they had their own thoughts and goals beyond being a byproduct of the Wyrd. The Hedge steals memories and consumes flesh and blood. Whose to say the Hobgoblins aren't of things stolen from the Lost?

    His rambling thoughts are shaken with the clatter of Exegesis' party favours. He appreciates a lavender crocus, spinning it between glass fingers before remembering to greet the others. "These are really nice," he says to the artist, unsure what to do with it.

    He cocks his head at his metallic cousin now beautified in spring blossoms, "You should have been a cactus."

    Freya's Mein is a hybrid between her mask and some hellish bird of prey. Her face is much like her Mask, save for the larger, saucer-like amber eyes that a more reminiscient of a bird of prey than a human being. Within her mouth, her lower and upper canines are also more prominent and elongated.

    She bears no hair atop her head, boasting instead a short headdress of dark brown feathers. These feathers trail down her spine and along her shoulders and upper arms before erupting yet again along her thighs and rear. Freya's lower legs and forearms are scaly, not unlike the legs of a large bird of prey, and end in wicked talons which serve as her primary tools against her enemies.

    Truly, she is terrifying, but their is a Savage beauty to her.

    Freya entered the main area of the Tavern with her guitar case in tow, per her discussion with her fellow Springs about offering music in place of her lack of materials. However, simply hearing the music of the hobs tells Freya that offer may not be possible.

    Thus, Mother Talons seats herself near the quieter area and smiles to the new arrivals after tucking her guitar case behind her. The Hunterheart is also dressed for the occasion, having selected a green dress for the occasion, though it was not Hedgespun like so many others. Freya could not bring it upon herself to ask for such things from those within the Court of Spring who could provide it.

    Nonetheless, the dress was appropriate, which offered Freya some comfort in the face of doubt as she viewed the extravagance of Sonnie and Sera when compared to her comparatively modest ensemble. Plus she found the design to be fun. Otherwise, the Beast was barefoot and relatively unadorned, save for her natural feathery plumage.
