Curiouser and curiouser [Mingle]
Date: May 26th-June 2nd
Characters:OPEN
Note: Like all welcome mingles, this is a SoL free-for-all mingle meant to get new characters involved by centering around something relevant to them. Without further ado, please welcome Rune Vollan!
The weather is beautiful, approaching twenty and mostly sunny, and it's just perfect for the literature festival that takes part in Mossgate every year. A full week - or rather, 8 days - fully packed of all kinds of literary activities and events awaits.
It starts on Sunday with festivities on the Greens that involve all kinds of local groups putting things on the stage set up near the bandstand - choirs, orchestras, theatre groups, dance groups, and more, both professional and high quality amateur productions. Food stalls are littered around the area, and various booths sell, inform about, or simply exhibit various literature related things. There's also a storytelling tent set up near the ruins catering to children during the day and to adults in the evening and half through the night.
Then all throughout the week there are all kinds of things offerend around Mossgate council. Local artists of all walks, ranging from paper artists to dollmakers, from painters to theatre groups and from singers to circus troupes have been offered all kinds of unusual places to bring literature to new backgrounds. There might be a Shakespearean play on the ruins, or an art exhibition on the pleasure pier, a concert in the zoo or a storytime in the Mayor's office (for all the little ones).
There are also Drag Queen Story Hours at the library, bars and pubs and bookstore offer readings of established as well as young up-and-coming authors, and Tarwich town hall has been turned into an interactive exhibition on Shakespeare.
The Manor House, of course, offers something very specifically themed on the Saturday of the festival. As it was the setting of the world famous book "Ann in the Curious Garden" and the sequel "Between the Mirrors", it always has an Ann-themed day during the literature festival. Every artist, no matter what their art be, who wishes to contribute is welcome and put up art or put on a performace in the Manor gardens or the open-to-the-public parts of the house itself. So there is a children's ballet performing in stork costumes, a magician performing themed tricks, there's many artworks ranging from small children's drawings to artful adult paintings hung up in the manor corridors, and much more. And, as every year, the hunt for the dodo is on: Somewhere in the grounds and public areas of the house, a stuffed dodo has been hidden. Whoever finds it will get a free years pass to the zoo.
[note: Ann in the Curious Garden is an expy of Alice in Wonderland. Think along the lines of storks instead of flamingos, and such. Just so different enough.]

Saturday
He casually wanders over to Felicity with a smile.
"Ello, iis ii meh yer lookin' fer?"
(Hello, is it me you're looking for?) He has a joking tone, but he's hoping to sound cordial enough. And just in case it isn't...
"Rillee though. Iis there sum'n yer missin?"
(Really, though. Is there something your missing?)
no subject
"Oh, not really. Just keeping an eye out for the dodo. Do you know if it's been found already?" She probably shouldn't assume that everyone knows about it (after all, not everyone's been attending for years) but her mind is somewhat elsewhere at the moment.
no subject
And so, he laughs, thinking for sure it's a joke.
"Aye, yuu allmose gah meh there. Iis tha like ah guus chaes, as they sey?"
(Aye, you almost got me there. Is that like a goose chase, as they say?) After all, what else would chasing an extinct bird be?
no subject
The mistake - while confusing for a moment - is understandable. After all, it's a bit of a strange hunt if you're not expecting it and somehow missed the signs up over the entrance.
no subject
"Well thn. If'n there's ah prahze invulved, ah will be happeh t'help ah luvlee lehdee such as yerself. Cah'n hav ah lehdee go withoww a prahze, now, kin ah?"
(Well then. If there's a prize involved, I will be happy to help a lovely lady such as yourself. Can't have a lady go without a prize now, can I?)
no subject
Sorry it took me forever to get back to this. If you want to handwave, just let me know!
Maybe she misunderstood him. He offers a more gentle smile.
"Ah, dun wurree. Ahm naht int'rested in th'prahze fir meself. Iis ahl yuurs. Reelee."
(Ah, don't worry. I'm not interested in the prize for myself. It's all yours. Really.)
There. Hopefully that will clear that problem up.
