Spring Things

[Titania]

At this point she's unsure whether the Celebration is still the main topic of the conversation or whether the stickers have monopolized their attention, still, she's happy to follow the flow.
"Ewww, gross", she says, and with a booklet she tries to shake the obnoxious cloud away, "We can always take the Saturn Express for the matter, and check for ourselves. Now that I think about that, we could host our party there", stellar idea. A Spring Sleepover.

[Seraphina]

Waving a hand, “We don’t need palm trees! We have the Tavern, and our imaginations! And if not, they make inflatable ones.” They could totally make this work. “I think I still have mine for a few years ago, so defiantly. But, we don’t have to wear them. If someones not comfortable wearing them, that’s fine.” That was more for Titania. "Oh! I even have some balloons I found online that might be fun to include!" the Nix opens a folder and offers the printed pages.

“Are you sure Sonnie? I mean, I don’t think anyones actually landed on the surface, so I don’t think we can actually know. And who knows if they monkeys up there are likes the ones here. They could be whole new species, completely acclimated to whatever environment is up there.” A shrug, “As devils advocate, I shouldn’t have golden and diamond scales, yet here they are. So just because someone tells us it’s impossible doesn’t mean it is.” But, that’s just her two cents. Not that she should be encouraging the continued sticker debate.

Sapphires widen at Sonnie. A hand covers her mouth as she almost spits it out in surprise.

“Sonnie!” she exclaims, as she bites her tongue to not laugh. “That was very rude.” Though secretly she was laughing.

“Sounds like you two are going on a trip!” wait, the Coronation? “You thinking a space themed Coronation?” cause she needed some clarification here.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie was in the middle of twerking at Titania's face when Seraphina called her out for the incident. She paused and looked at the Spring Queen, eye blinking in surprise. "Was it? Um, maybe, I guess? Sorta... kinda.. rude..." Her butt continued mocking the Bright One for another few seconds before she sat down in her chair again, legs tucked underneath her. "Okay, sorry! Sorry!" Beasts didn't always hold themselves to social niceties, and while Sonnie tried, she still had her moments of uncouth behavior.

However, she leveled an index finger at Titania, giving a slow nod, "So be it. You and I, Starlight. We're gonna take a little expedition to Saturn! I'll show you there's no monkeys there! Then you'll rue the day! Rue it!" The pair's last expedition took them through a jungle in search of Rhodes' dream library. What laid in wait in the cold depths of (dream) outer space?

"Anyway, yes!" The Grim nodded enthusiastically at the two Unicorns. "Luau! Ever seen a hula dance, Titty?" She started to reach for her phone to find a video, before remembering their were in a Hollow. Then Sera offered up the printed images and Sonnie gasped in delight. "Lookit those! These are real balloons? They're so pretty! We can get these?"

[Titania]

She's sure there must be a contract somewhere to shut people up. She doesn't know where, but she'll eventually find it and use it on the monkey.
"It's not about comfort", LIAR, "but are we really certain we want to go for a costume themed celebration? What about a theatrical piece?", then the monkey goes for that mocking nickname - again - and the burn spreads across her face from ear to ear.
"They're so pretty", she whispers, but her disinterest is barely concealed. They should definitely start packing for Saturn, Sera could join.

[Seraphina]

There was a small shake of her head and an amused smile. You had to find humor with Sonnie, she just made you smile.

“You two just be careful and pack plenty of supplies.” Supplies were important. Especially in space.

“Now, Titania wouldn’t have to dance or wear the costume of she didn’t want to.” She points out. “And yes, they are. Not to expensive either, really easy to get. Think they would fit a luau theme?” even if they didn’t, they were just too pretty not to get.

“Generally, with a luau, people dress in tropical themed clothes. Ones with bright flowers on them, shorts, kind of like a beach party. And most enjoy the chance to get to dress up in a costume. Kind of breaks up the depressing weather and feelings of Winter. But no one would ever force someone to wear a costume if they didn’t want to.” Nope, she wouldn’t stand for that. “A theatrical piece? What were you thinking? I’d love to hear your ideas.” Her angelic voice warm and welcoming, inviting her to share.

Catching the blush, “Does that nickname bother you? If it really does, I’m sure she would be willing to stop.” The Nix thought it was kind of endearing, but, she was Titania.

Looking at the balloons, then back to Titania, “Not something you think the Freehold would like?” a slight frown.

[Sonnie Wu]

"Obviously, astronaut ice cream is a must," Sonnie smiled and nodded. But planning for dream shenanigans was for another time. Today was planning for the coronation. Stay on track, monkey!

The Beast blew a raspberry, "Aw, come on, we'd all look awesome in matching costumes! I mean, I know Starlight doesn't have to, but she'd look so good!" She looked at the printed pictures again, "Well, they'll fit our luau! Because we can have whatever we want!"

"Theatrical piece? Like... a play?" Sonnie, too, caught the wide blush on the Telluric's face, and she seemed confused as to what Titania was embarrassed about. "Wait, what nickname? I got a lot of them for her." Despite her attempt to humiliate the Bright One just moments ago, she seemed honestly innocent in her confusion now. "Starlight, Ellie, Flashlight, Mary Poppins, Mrs. Doubtfire, Glowbug, Tits, Titty, Headlights..." Some of those she'd not actually used before. How much time did she spend thinking them up?

[Titania]

"I really need to sign that contract", she replies. Offering the others no explanation
"The balloons are a nice idea. Though, it's something only Circe might appreciate. Let's be realistic, the Lords of this freehold aren't exactly appreciative of the mellowest pleasures of life", the image of Rhodes chasing a balloon prompted a smirk.
"And our numbers are dwindling. So, we should probably opt for something that will awaken their desires and foster their active participation", she scowls at the monkey, "not in the lascivious sense. A theatrical piece, or a contest of the arts. Then we'd cast our votes, perhaps bestow an award for the best performance".
"Saturn, that's it. Your Highness is not coming?", she asks Sera, "and pack lightly", she bosses the monkey.

[Seraphina]

“Ice cream is a must for any adventure.” She agrees.

“I won’t deny that she’ll look amazing in the costume, but we don’t force people to do things. If she wanted to wear an elegant gown, she is more than welcome to.” It’d stand out, but making someone do something was not their way.

Snorting, “How many you have? Though glowbug is kinda cute.” She had to admit.

“Contract? What contract?” did she miss something?

“Only Circe?” she asks, “Not sure which Lords you’re referring to, but the ones I know certainly can appreciate the mellowest pleasures in life. And anyways, if we have them on the ceiling, it sort of brings the stars into the Tavern.” Which was kinda cool.

“A contest of the arts?” she ponders the thought, “That could be fun, something different. I don’t think I’ve seen that done at a Coronation before. Though I would worry if us Springs participated, it might be one sided. So perhaps something just for the others to do, and we judge?” though she wouldn’t have competed anyways. “What type of reward did you have in mind? It has to be something to make them want to compete and win.” Cause if it was just a cheer, then no one would probably join. “We could also combine the two ideas. Give those who don’t wish to compete something else to focus on.” She offers.

“Oh, I didn’t know you guys wanted me to join you. But of course! I would love to go; I’ve never been to Saturn before. What does one pack for such an adventure?”

[Sonnie Wu]

"Ice cream is a must for pretty much every occasion," she smiled, the sighed and nodded. "I know, I know. Your Desires Are Your Own."

"Like that one?" She grinned, "First time I said it out loud. You like Glowbug, Lady Titania?"

She had to chime in with Sera, "Uh, yeah, what contract?"

The Beast tilted her head curiously at the Bright One, "You mean a talent contest? I had one of those in elementary school! I came in third." She shook her head and rolled her eyes, "The fourth grade crowd didn't appreciate my ventriloquist act. The puppet was creepy, they said! Pfft!"

"Obviously, the grand prize is a date with Starlight!" Because look at her!

"A luau AND a talent contest? I like it!" An energetic nod was given. "Eat some poi, judge some performances. Sounds good to me!" Sonnie paused and thought a moment, "How do you make poi?" She went to check her phone for the recipe, and again remembered a few seconds too late that it didn't get a signal in the Hedge. "Dammit!"

The monkey seemed delighted by the idea of Seraphina joining their next dreamscape adventure. "Yay, Sera's coming! Um, well... space suits, I guess?"

A grin spread across her face, "To be honest, we should really be going to Uranus." Yes, she made that joke, and yes, she laughed at it.

[Titania]

She takes a stand by ignoring the monkey and her salacious remarks. Rather, all her attention is diverted to Sera, who's been feeding her idea mill.
"Yes, we could host a talent show. With us being the judges of course. And I suppose we should open it to the whole of Funderland, regular visitors included. The first prize could be a dress, something bespoke that we've exclusively tailored for the winner. Perhaps a monetary gift, as we could be charging an entry fee. Think of all the free press the park would get. No better way for a grand reopening", of course Funderland had never closed, but it was irrelevant.
"The weather on saturn can be spotty, dress in layers"
