    Laser Tag Arena, The Seat of Summer



    The Sun was blazing, the noon draws on forever, today is the longest day of the year. Summer was officially beginning. Funderland had closed High Striker to the public, for this, the Summer Solstice.

    The arena was still laid out, ready for any and all who would try their hand at the mock battle. To far side, a BBQ buffet was laid out, with a collection of bottled and canned alcohol adjacent.

    Though taking centre stage, upon a table all on it's own was a strange and obviously magical...stone. Both liquid and solid, moving like blood and stone, the red of the moving mass, mesmerizing in contrast to the black-green of the solid rock grit binding it.

    It was the Wyrdstone, the solution for the Freehold's inability to maintain a Freehold Pledge.

    Today was the continuing of the Cycle, tonight was a night for strength, competition, for the Crimson Court was now ascending!


    Everyone's welcome! Nay encouraged to come!

    Circe Origins please describe Circe's crown when you enter!

    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.

    Never one to be late for a party, Sonnie Wu was here! Dressed in blue jeans and a green tank top, with a matching green beanie on her head, the Beast was barefoot. She arrived with Fugly the Wonder Dog! The animal was immediately let off his leash, and he naturally followed his nose towards the BBQ!

    So did Sonnie.

    However, it was the Wyrdstone that distracted her from the food. Fugly couldn't care less.

    So shiny. So magical.

    The Monkey approached the stone, peering at it in total curiosity.

    Touch it.

    Maybe I shouldn't.

    Touch it.

    I don't know what it does.

    Touch. It.

    But...

    TOUCH IT!

    You're the boss, Sonnie!

    A hand raised up, index finger extended, moving slowly towards the awesome and shiny enchanted rock. Slowly reaching towards contact...

    John saw Sonnie approaching the strange stone set center stage. He was wondering what it was but he assumed Circe would have an announcement about it and if she didn't well, he'd ask Rhodes as Rhodes would be the one with the most information about it.


    He saw her reach out and he stopped just off to the side of the door, his lips curling up into a mischevious smirk. Normally he wouldn't do something like this but when would he get another chance. He formed the words on his lips, slithering through the shadows to land in Sonnie's ear. Pitching up his voice an octave to mask it.


    Whisper to Sonnie


    He was still dressed up, it was a coronation after all and he wanted to show his due respect. Black button up, red tie, loose fitting black slacks barely kept on by the belt he was wearing. Black sneakers on his feet though, he wasn't trying to sacrifice comfort after all and it wasn't Winter's Coronation. Feet slowly guiding him to the beer as he'd get one for himself to enjoy the tiny bit of chaos he'd sowed.


    Goes by the name: John

    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.

    Treasured Nix

    It was time to pass the crown to Summer. And given that Summer was hot, she wanted to dress for the heat. Sure, that was the reason, and that was the one she was going to stick with.

    When she saw the dress, she fell in love with it and had to have it. Tailored to fit perfectly. Standing still, it looks like the perfect summer dress. But when she walked? Well, how those slits, higher than some would dare, stayed in place? Don’t ask because that’s a girl’s secret. But oh how she loved how amazing her long legs looked.

    And should she want to play laser tag, she always kept spare clothes at the Tavern.

    Walking in, her arm hooked on Rhodes arm, she felt a bit overdressed. But she was the Queen of Spring, the Season of Desire. A private smile offered to Rhodes before a gentle kiss was placed on his cheek.

    Spotting Sonnie, she shook her head, “Think you should touch it Sonnie?” she teases with a knowing smile. Because she knew what it was, she helped obtain it.

    Wild flowers growing where she stepped as her hair brushed the ground behind her.

    Looking towards the Winter, “Hi John.”

    Normally, Coco loved summer. Everyone wore less clothing, there were more events, and it stayed light so long that the nightlife was in full swing as soon as the sun set.

    But, that was normally. Now, the nightlife was something she tried to avoid, and the sight of people smiling and cavorting around left her feeling incredibly pissed off and bitter, and craving something to ignite the spark that used to burn inside of her, though the cost was one she'd likely never come back from. In fact, she still wasn't sure how much she'd truly lost, what the true cost had really been, but that was beside the point.

    The point WAS, Coco hated Summer, and she hated the woman that would soon be wearing its Crown, and so she showed in her own personal "fuck you" outfit.

    Check it:

    Big, fluffy, pink robe. Big, fluffy, pink bunny slippers. Blue, silk pajamas. Black sleep mask worn like a headband. Hair pulled back in a messy bun. Stuffed unicorn. Cane.

    Take that, Summer!

    While the Queen of Summer had many options for fashion, she was feeling red and gold today for what she could choose. She may have gone overboard by a bit as she walks out from behind the defensive walls.

    A familiar red dress, fancy heels, a fire opal necklace filled the window of the dress, a set of finger-less red leather gloves with elaborate plate decoration adorn her hands, and the Summer Brooch under her chin. She also had a bag hidden with an alternative if anyone challenged her to the arena. Because no way would she try that in heels.

    All of this paled in comparison to what sat upon her shoulder length hair. The current Crown of Summer.

    The Queen of Summer's crown given by the wyrd is a dour affair. The core is a straightforward metal crown that looks quite durable despite the angry red veins running throughout the crown. Each of the five points has a gem of some kind floating above it. The four smaller points feature cut gemstones resembling citrine, pyrite, ruby, and peridot 8 sided diamonds. Above the largest spike at the front however floats a sphere of what seems to be raging flames.

    "Yes Sonja, do have a lil' patience before touching something ya don't know," she cheerfully declares as she struts up to the Wyrdstone's table, seeing who'd arrived thus far. She mouths to Seraphina a question of is it safe to touch? Then does a double take at Coco. Right eyebrow and ear are raised. She looks at Sonja, then to Coco. "Fanculo," blue hand rises sharply to face palm as the elf sighs, "Just walk in and already jealous. Coco yer gonna be crazy comfortable tonight ain't ya?"

    With a few quick steps she is before Sonja. Circe leans down in front of the monkey girl, "Yer newest friend behind ya wants a pajama paaaarty," Circe raises her hand to point behind Sonja at Coco. More to get Sonja away from it then to annoy Coco, but not saying Circe didn't seek both.

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.

    A field of roses under the glistening pale moon of a star sprangled spring night. Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    Telluric Bright One



    Summer solstice.
    Spring has come and gone, today is the day. The triumph of light over darkness. Nevertheless she knows the planetary alignments, in victory lies the seed of defeat, an unbroken cycle that eternally loops unto itself. They're here to prune the fruits before Autumn comes.

    The warmest season is a catwalk, and tonight, packed in a ruby red backless dress, she intends to bring some more.
    Wavy light brown hair dance across her shoulders as a pair of high pumps propel her toward tonight's Host. Ruby red lips twist upward in a smile, enhanced by just the right dash of makeup and the studs in her ears.
    "Your Highness. Thanks for having me", she greets the Summer Monarch with a short bow. "A marvellous ensemble", she compliments Circe's dress, gesturing with both her hands. A silver ring occupies each of her ring fingers.

    She turns to her Court. The Spring Queen and her companion are greeted with a sweet smile. Just this once Sonnie is greeted with equal warmth.
    But she's distraught, her focus is divided between the magical relic - the real focus of the room - and the girl ready for a sleepover.
    She shakes her head, deciding to approach the latter first.
    "Lady Coco", she greets approaching her.

    Succubus / Incubus Romancer

    Summer one of the harder events to dress for she hadn't heard anything about what kind of events would take place here but she had heard the Summer Queen spitball some ideas and there surely was a chance that things would get wild.
    Knowing that she had chosen to dress in a simple yet easy to move in outfit that would still retain some elegance not that it would matter much as people would just see what they wanted to see anyway but it did feel good to know herself at least. Luckily enough so had she not forgotten to add her hedgespun choker to the mix that would surely be something people would be able to see at least, the amber threads together with the sun, star and moonlight woven ornaments of themselves were truly one of her most favorite clothing pieces.

    Having brought a bag with gifts for the occasion to show up empty handed would not look good or be a sign of respect.
    Her purse filled with a couple of extra aloe vera water bottles it was summer after all and hydration was more important this time of the year than any other.

    It didn't take long for her to notice the odd stone of course but her eyes were quickly overtaken by the wasp in her peculiar outfit, not being able to resist the chance so was it not long before a picture was taken to remember it by.

    Hmm seems like both the Queens had fancied red this evening not a surprise it was a normal color after all even the beautiful Titania had seem to fallen for the color.

    Looking for a place to put her gift bag for a while not really sure where to place it as she waited for the Queen to be free.
    Slowly moving towards her, making a deep curtsy and trying her best to speak one of the few Italian phrases she had learned thus far.
    "viva la regina d'estate"
    Slowly looking up towards her still remaining in her curtsied position.
    "Sadly I did not see anywhere to place the gifts would you mind me just handing you the bag or do you have somewhere for me to place it ohh noble Queen?"
    Deeply hoping that she was not being a bother nor disturbing her.

    The Dread Lord walked alongside the Spring Queen, arm in arm, smiling serenely. With her, everything was easier. And in Summer, neither of them had to be Monarch. Both had a little more freedom. Still, Summer always had a special memory for him. A very different anniversary.

    His first day here.

    His Preparation had begun the night before, just as he put his head down to sleep.

    Wisdom of Dreams


    He and Sera were dressed to match, red suit to match her red dress, though a black leather briefcase is also with him. He had let his flowers grow out, deep green leaves and scarlet flowers blooming at his temples, wrists and ankles.

    All the members already gathered were greeted with assorted smiles and nods. Coco's ensemble does raise an eyebrow, but it seemed the wasp lady's mission to piss whoever off she could. More verbal spats were sure to follow. But first, the hostess.

    "Lady Summer." Rhodes greets Circe formally, but with a hint of cheer. "Complimenti questa mezza estate, per la tua incoronazione. The crown is very you. I approve." He opens the briefcase, and pulls a fine Italian red from it. "I know you're more a tequila woman, but indulge me just this once. I picked it out especially." The Autumn King winks, offerign Circe the bottle.

    As Sera talks to Sonnie, a playful smirk touches his lips. "Oh, go ahead Sonnie. Nothing bad ever happened from poking unknown magical artifacts." Toying with the monkey was fun.

    Rhodes successfully uses Wisdom of Dreams to acquire Language: Italian for the day.
    Flowering Fairest, Mantle: An ever-changing, spine-chilling icy wind, creating spinning autumn leaves and haunting whispers.
