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.]

"Wehl, iis moore ah kuustum fir old frens. Buut effryun's ah fren t'meh.
"Ah wuun't sey nefer ohbject, buut ah git moore frens thn naht, yea. Mohst seem t'beh eeseegoin tiypes. Buut thehr ahlweys free t'deklein."
(Well, it's more a custom for old friends. But everyone's a friend to me.
I wouldn't say never object, but I get more friends than not, yea. Most seem to be easygoing types. But they're always free to decline.)
Rune doesn't seem to pick up on the worry, and even offers a warmer smile. He's not worried about it, at least.
no subject
He is quite intrigued by the concept. "Because you spend money on them?"
no subject
(Close, but no. I spend money on them because I view them as friends.) Rune pause for a brief moment as he tries to explain his trail of thought when it comes to friendship.
"Iis like... 'givin th'beniifit of th'daut, ah think. If'n yuu give sumwen th'ahppurtunity t'be frens, they us'lly are."
(It's like... giving the benefit of the doubt, I think. If you give someone the opportunity to be friends, they usually are.) Rune half shrugs and continues to smile.
"Thas mah exp'rience, aht lees."
(That's my experience, at least.)
no subject
And you buy friends drinks..." He considers this. "So then I should buy you a drink as well."
Sorry it took me forever to get back to this. If you want to handwave, just let me know!
"Wehl then, iif yuu insihst, ahl be happeh teh axept."
(Well then, if you insist, I'll be happy to accept.) Rune gives a nod of thanks and clarifies his order with the bartender. A daiquiri sounds quite like it'll hit the spot.
"So, whut aboot yuu? Ahr yuu frum around here?"
(So what about you? Are you from around here?)
no subject
it is beautiful here, though. A very gentle climate, too."
no subject
"Oh! Wha braht yuu here, then? Travlin the wherld, perhaps?"
(Oh! What brought you here, then? Traveling the world, perhaps?)

no subject
"Ah dint know aboot wers plesses, but thiis ah fine pless, ah think."
(I don't know about worse places, but this is a fine place, I think.) He offers the man a wink.
"Fer bizzness, then. Hopeflee yuuve got ah cushee pless t'stey."
(For business, then. Hopefully you've got a cushy place to stay.)
no subject
This place is quite peaceful."
