    Posting Rate Reminder
    Please do not get more than 2 posts 'ahead' of the slowest poster in a Scene. **This '1 ahead' allowance should be the exception and not the rule** -- it should only be used to facilitate things like breaking off scenes or to keep things moving if, say, a character whose turn it isn't has been asked a direct question that everyone else is waiting for the answer on. This should never be done 'just because' or out of impatience or to gain some advantage. Be polite. Be considerate. Wait your turn.

    If a player whose turn it is to post has taken more than 48 hours to respond, the other players/characters are free to move on, without IC consequences/repercussions. If someone does not reply for more than 96 hours after their last 'at bat', you may proceed as though they had left.


    The Equinox come again, Funderland's closed to the public there is a private event being hosted at Ednas Boarding House-cum-Haunted House.

    In years previous, the Ashen Court reminded those of the Freehold of Fear, but Autumn is not just a time when the night grow longer and things go bump in the night, it is also a time of bounty, harvest.

    The door's open, and all can smell the savory-sweet of an open buffet. Several tables, laden with food, both hardy, and filling side by side with nibbles, light and airy. Deserts, have their own table, near buckling by the sweet weight. Another table with drinks, alcoholic and not pressing against a wall, and in between and dotting the many rooms of the House's intereior are circular tables for the Lost to sit, and dine.

    Decorative pumpkins and corn, find interesting places to rest, surrounded by autumn dyed leaves, all red-range yellow atop table clothes of grey and brown, Subtle-sharp of the Autumn allegiance.

    And pride of place, the Wyrdstone. Always rushing, moving, twisting, but still. 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.






    After the Autumn king puts Glamour into the Wyrdstone binding the Courts, and their Courtiers to the Freehold, all of the Courtless Changelings need to place one Glamour into the Wyrdstone as well. You need to do this to keep your current Status, or to gain Status 1 with the Freehold!

    After Rhodes Xadun arrives and puts in the Glamour please describe your Crown! If Rhodes fails to appear, then the Autumn Court needs a King Anatole Yumyumcrow (unless you absolutely do not want the Crown, we can work something else out)

    After the Crown is manifested and the Wyrdstone fed, @ me! So I can do some narration

    There was a ton of food to be eaten, so was it any surprise that the Spring Monkey was here? Sonnie had always been a 'big eater' and tonight would be no different!

    That said, she did come dressed with respect to the new season! She wore a black, long-sleeved dress patterned with autumn leaves, along with a matching cap and her Hedgespun boots! This Beast was stylish for the fall!

    She also hummed Michael Jackson's Thriller softly as she eyed the party chamber, so she was still her irreverent self! Time to grab a drink! Sonnie made her way to the hefty beverages table and helped herself to a nice beer!

    The real side of Jasper looks very similar, tall and lanky with a lithe build. The glaring difference is his head: a large shaggy head of what looks like an Irish Wolfhound rests on his shoulders. A pair of expressive green eyes and alert ears give him an alert and kind look to his features. He still has that same rugged good looks about him, despite the blocky canid snout he has. His leather jacket looks very well made and hangs on his lanky form almost like a second skin, the furred interior looking soft and blacker than the night.

    Not long after the doors are opened, the first of the Strays finds his way to Edna's. Jasper's dark nose is twitching as he ducks down under the door jamb before straightening back up as much as he can into the gathering room. His gaze falls first to the spread of foods offered to the night's visitors and it takes a moment for him to notice the other Beast in the room. A grin splits his snout as he feels that pleasant feeling of safety and home and the big man gives an "'ello." of greeting.

    His lanky form is covered in a pair of ratty looking jeans, threadbare in a few spots; he's also wearing a flannel shirt that the reds and browns of look a bit faded with age and use. Above all of this is his hedgespun leather jacket, hanging down his long frame nicely. One of the pockets on the front of that jacket is bulging larger than usual and it doesn't take long to realize why when a small dog's head peeks out of the pocket at the smell of the food, letting out a soft whine. The sound brings one of Jasper's large hands down to lightly scratch behind the pup's ear.

    She slurped her beer as she idly poked at one of those cornucopia things you see as Thanksgiving decorations all the time.

    Slow down, Sonnie. No need to get drunk before the coronation even starts. Remember what happened at that Winter coro.

    I wasn't even drunk that time!

    That makes it worse!

    The arrival of a stranger got her immediate attention, naturally. She took one look at Jasper and got instantly excited. "PUPPY!" she squealed with glee and ran over... to greet the little pooch in the man's pocket! "Hello, hello, hello!" Fingers wiggled at the canine as her long monkey tail whipped about. After a few moments, she blinked and looked up at Jasper. "Oh, hi! I'm Sonnie. New here, eh?"

    Jasper perks up his own ears as the Spring monkey darts over to him and gives the puppy in his pocket a finger waggling of a wave. The puppy wiggles its head and barks a greeting of its own as its little black nose wiggles as it sniffs at Sonnie.

    The giant Beast is watching all this quietly, a calloused thumb rubbing over the back of the pup's ear. When Sonnie looks up at him, his snout curls up in a grin. "Hey, Sonnie. I'm Jasper and yeah, I'm pretty new here.. Got in town about a month back now." he looks up and around, licking his jowls in a hungry stare at the food. "This here for all of us? Free?" he asks in his thickly accented rumble.

    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.

    A fairly tall woman, roughly 5'11 with long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes are an intense, deep bright blue, reminding one of sapphires. Her lips are full and her skin is flawless. With that perfection comes a body that men fawn and drool over, and women envy.

    Treasured Nix

    Autumn Coronation had finally arrived! Rhodes night to shine as King! And while she hated the weeks leading up to the night, she always saw him less and less, sometimes not at all, it was always worth it.

    But this year was a bit different for her. While she had started to try and dress a bit tamer to not draw attention from him and his Season, she wanted to this year. That voice that had been steadily growing louder and louder as she became closer and stronger with the Wyrd, had been pushing her towards a more dramatic look.

    She deserved to look stunning.

    She deserved to have the eyes on her.

    It had been weeks of an internal struggle, the Nix torn between two very different dresses. One fit Autumn, the colors and her relationship with Rhodes. One of the happiest evenings and places carefully painted onto part of the dress. Did the image move ever so slightly? Why yes they did. The lights of the Parisian night twinkling leaves blew across the city street.

    The other fit the occasion in a way. But there was still enough of her, the her she knew, to fight that urge.

    This was a night about him! She would scream back; she would not take the light from him.

    But inside she knew, the will to fight the other voice was losing. And as her connection to the Wyrd grew, so did the voice.

    Walking into the Autumn Hollow, she smiled at the decorations and effort that had gone in. A present was in her hand, wrapped in a dark green paper. Sure, she could have given it to him at home, but this was part of the dance, part of the show.

    Her long hair was in an intricate braid, well, a few, cascading down her back. She no jewelry, well, only her wedding ring, which came to life inside the Hollow. (Activating the ring, it bursts into blossom, the ring becoming a jeweled flower in scarlet on a band of gold.) There is no makeup, but there is a warm and happy smile as she spots Sonnie! One of her favorite people in the world! And she was meeting one of the newer faces!

    Perfect!

    Gracefully, she walks over, the smile remaining, “Hey Sonnie! Loving that dress on you!” gushed the Nix before her sapphires turn to Jasper, “Hi Jasper, great to see you here.” She does notice the puppy, but seemed not sure what to make of it.

    "Well," she replied to Jasper, "welcome to the Freehold! And, yeah, help yourself!" The Monkey gestured at the food-laden tables, "I've never known any of the Monarchs to deny their guests at these things. Does the little guy have a name?"

    Sonnie took note of the man's canine features, and she merely smiled. It was nice to have another Beast around for a change.

    The arrival of the Spring Queen naturally caught her attention, and she waved at her sovereign and bestie, "Yo, Sera! Thanks!" She did a little spin to show off her dress. "How long did it take to do that hair?"

    Just a note, since I don't think I was clear, we're not in the Autumn Hollow, we're at Edna's outside of the Hollow so Seraphina Orianna you still need to spend the Glamour/Roll Wyrd to activate your Hedgespun

    Anatole appears from a side door, his Mantle pooling under his feet and trailing behind him as he walked. His dark mantle was, of course, playing with his elaborate Hedge Spun coat; a coat of blacks and charcoals, fears, terrors, and the power inherent in being his Court's Paladin of Shadows. He wore a suitably dark suit for the occasion and his new shoes had been polished to a crisp shine.

    There was no trace of the gnarled walking stick tonight.

    In one gnarled hand he carried a number of long necked glasses; in the other was a large bottle of malt whisky.

    Anatole raised an arched eyebrow at the gathering already gaining pace and grunted. Still, between Sera and Sonnie Wu, it took the burned dwarf several moments to get moving. Some sights had to be seen. He could be seen moving to the drinks table, shaking his head. The whisky chimed a little too loudly as he placed it with the other drinks.

    "Hope you enjoy the spread. Took a while to source and I'm pretty proud of it. Its too easy to forget that Autumn is about the harvest as much as it is about fear."

    He sighed, speaking loud enough for anyone to hear - not that anyone was... Everyone was focussing on the giant Beast Jasper. Initially, Anatole wasn't quite sure why. He poured himself a glass of the whisky, drifted over to the food which he browsed by scent only, before closing on the others.

    "Why yes. All for us! All free. My gift to the Freehold."

    Anatole gestured with his free hand once he reached Jasper and at long last sighted the little puppy snugly safe in the Beast's pocket.

    "Ahhhh!"

    He put on a grandfatherly smile.

    "I see you have an animal companion! What a capital little thing! Welcome one and all to the Autumn Coronation. Hope you enjoy it. I went for something a little more intimate this year. Please feel free to dig in."
