Inspector Clueless on the Case


Talia Sunsong hears a strange whirring sound. She looks up and sees the inspector on a bicycle, in the air.
Talia Sunsong "Oh no, it's that strange inspector. He wants to take Rorn from me!"
Fiesty Lotus: “Oh my. That be that inspector!
Savage Taurus: “Man, that guy is persistent.”
Talia Sunsong shakes her fist at the sky. "You are not taking baby Rorn. He's mine mine mine, sort of..."
Talia Sunsong pulls out her wand. "I know magic--BIG Fae magic. I'll escape to the Fae lands!"
Savage Taurus: “...all because of some fish. That guy seriously needs to get a life.”
Inspector Clueless: “I am coming in ze name of ze law!
Talia Sunsong pulls out her bent magic wand and sweeps it around. "Bibidee babadee doo. I will escape you!"
Savage Taurus: “What are you doing, Nanny?”
Talia Sunsong "I'm casting a magic spell to sweep me and Rorn to the Fae lands."
Inspector Clueless: “I arrest you all for theft!”
The bent magic wand sputters a few sparks, then roars to life, sending a wave of magic particles around the group.

Oh No, Not the Fae Kingdom

Savage Taurus feels the whoosh of fae magic pulling at him, "Hey, calm down now. Don't do that. You are out of control, darling.'"
Talia Sunsong "You won't catch me, copper!"
The magic explodes and the whole group vanishes.
Fiesty Lotus feels a shifting and is upset.
Savage Taurus: “Gah, you dag blasted fae!”
Talia Sunsong Blinded by all the sparks, it takes a few moments for her eyesight to return.
Fiesty Lotus lands in a strange land.
Talia Sunsong rubs her eyes and looks around. The land is filled with flowers and floating bubbles.
Talia Sunsong "Fae land!"
Savage Taurus struggles against the mystical tidal forces pulling at him in all directions, feeling like he's gonna lose his lunch.
Talia Sunsong pets Rorn and hums happily.
Inspector Clueless loses his bike and nearly everything else.
Inspector Clueless "What, what - where am I now?

Clueless Came Along

Talia Sunsong turns to see the strange inspector. "What are YOU doing here?"
When the whooshing and swirling stops, Savage Taurus finds himself face down in the grass. He sits up and spits turf out of his mouth and curses in dragonese, something that would have gotten him slapped by his momma dragon
Talia Sunsong "This is for pretty Fae, not for bad strange men that follow me.”
Savage Taurus: “Where the blazes are we?”
Fiesty Lotus climbs up from the ground and looks around. She notices that the inspector is still with them.
Talia Sunsong "In the best place in the world. Fae lands."
Fiesty Lotus: “Talia dear- please don't do that.”
Talia Sunsong "I haaaaad to do it.”
Talia Sunsong "Because of HIM!" points finger at inspector.
Savage Taurus: “Uughh! I don’t think I can handle any more than one of you at a time. A dragon don’t belong in no fae land.”
Inspector Clueless looks around and is a little confused, but his training kicks in and he confronts the group.
Talia Sunsong "Fae lands is the happiest place on the planet, except for picky unicorns.
Inspector Clueless: “You are arrested for theft and resisting ze officer of the law!”
Talia Sunsong "Me? Innocent me?"
Savage Taurus: “Look here, skippy. You ain’t arrestin' nobody. Why you gotta be causing all this trouble for us?”
Inspector Clueless: “I am an officer of the law. You are suspects.”
Savage Taurus: “You done gone and caused us to get stuck in this hellish faerie land.”
Talia Sunsong "I suspect you are crazy."
Inspector Clueless looks around "Is that where we are?"
Savage Taurus: “How do we get outta here?”
Talia Sunsong "Hellish? All is happy and good in Fae lands." (Glares at inspector). "Except for certain people."

Ebill Unicorns

Talia Sunsong "We are allllll innocent," looks around and spots a unicorn, "except for the ebillll unicorns."
Inspector Clueless realizes he has no weapons, only handcuffs.
Savage Taurus: “Yea, dang unicorns. Go arrest them!”
Talia Sunsong nods enthusiastically. "It's the unicorns that plan heists!"
Inspector Clueless: “One of you stole a pair of spectacles.”
Savage Taurus: “Oh is that what this is all about?”
Talia Sunsong "It was the unicorns I tell you."
Talia Sunsong "There were hoof-prints at the scene of the crime, right?"
Savage Taurus Yea, unicorns have bad eyesight. Everyone knows that. They stole the spectaculars!
Talia Sunsong hopes a passing carriage left hoof-prints outside the house we went into.
Fiesty Lotus hides a grin.
Inspector Clueless looks confused "Yes."
Talia Sunsong "See, see, see. I was right."
Savage Taurus really wants to see the inspector try to handcuff a unicorn.
Talia Sunsong marches over to a unicorn. "Arrest that unicorn."

Feeding the Unicorn

Inspector Clueless: "What!"
Inspector Clueless stares at the unicorn. “It is beautiful!"
Talia Sunsong "This is the unicorn you are looking for."
A pixie holds up a food dish to a beautiful white unicorn. The pixie looks with curiosity at the strangers.
Inspector Clueless straightens his back and inquires of the unicorn "Did you steal the spectacles?"
The unicorn stops eating and turns to look at the clueless inspector.
Savage Taurus nods emphatically behind the unicorn's back.
Talia Sunsong "See the unicorn is evading the question."
Inspector Clueless: "Yes, Are you one responsible for the theft?”
The unicorn bends down to eat some more.
Inspector Clueless steps aside as the unicorn defecates at his feet.
Talia Sunsong "See the unicorn is nodding his head yes."
Savage Taurus lets out a loud guffaw.
As the unicorn eats, its bobbing head resembles a "yes" nodding.
Inspector Clueless:  "I say, that iz resisting an officer of the law. I am going to have to take you in.”

Trying to Cuff the Unicorn

Talia Sunsong "Do your duty officer."
Inspector Clueless produces the handcuffs and proceeds to try them on the unicorn.
Savage Taurus: “I think the unicorn already did his duty.”
Inspector Clueless wrestles with the handcuffs without considering the width of his leg or the fact that the unicorn will not be able to move.
The unicorn looks down and sees the inspector trying to handcuff its hoof. The unicorn lifts a leg to kick the inspector.
Inspector Clueless is hit in the chest and falls to the ground.
Talia Sunsong:  "Wow! Unicorns really kick hard."
Savage Taurus laughs again.
The pixie scowls at the inspector sprawled on the ground. "What are you doing?"
Inspector Clueless tries to get back up but is having trouble breathing.
The pixie stamps her little foot. "How dare you treat a unicorn like that? Unicorns are a sacred animal."
Inspector Clueless wheezes " I am an officer of ze ..."
Inspector Clueless tries again to get back up.
The pixie puts two fingers in her mouth and whistles loudly. A pack of pixies suddenly descends on the inspector.
Inspector Clueless:  “Who are you and why are you interfering with ze officer of the law?
The pixie points at the inspector. "Drag him away. He attacked a unicorn."
Savage Taurus "Yikes!" jumps back away from the swarm of pixies, as if they were poisonous hornets.

A Pack of Pixies

The pixies mutter angrily and grab at the inspector.
Inspector Clueless tries to flee the angry pixies.
Dozens of little yet strong pixie hands grabs the inspector. "Away with you!" cry little voices as dozens of pixies carry off the squirming inspector.
Savage Taurus: “Serves him right, attacking a defenseless animal like that.”
Talia Sunsong nods in agreement. "Pixies may look cute, but don't cross them."
Savage Taurus: “I shall neither cross them, nor dot or underline them, either.”
Fiesty Lotus: “Well Talia. Now how we gonna get back ter where we was?”
Savage Taurus watches the inspector get dragged away with a smug satisfied expression.
Talia Sunsong "Let's look for gold and cream while we're here."
Savage Taurus: “Yea, how do we get outta this place?
Talia Sunsong shrugs "Why would you want to leave?"
Savage Taurus: “Gold? Oh, ok...yea let’s do that.”
Fiesty Lotus shakes her head in frustration. She longs for a few solitary moments.

After a fruitless search for gold and cream, that involved trying to milk a unicorn, it seemed like they had worn out their welcome. The pixies were looking crossly at them.
 Talia Sunsong: "Let's leave Fae lands for now. We can come back later, when there is gold and cream," She pulls out her bent magic wand. Before others could object, she chants a spell of leaving.

A whirlwind of magic particles surrounded the group. They were whisked out of Fae lands. Talia landed back where they had come from. She looked around.

"Where did Fiesty and Savage go?"

Midsummer in the Grove

We Gather to Celebrate Midsummer

Talia.Sunsong dances around naked for Summer solstice
Savage Taurus: Heh
Fitheach Eun: Shall we start?
Talia.Sunsong: It’s a Fae thing to dance around naked for solstice
Fiesty Lotus: OK
Fiesty Lotus clears her throat

Fiesty Lotus: Welcome friends and family
Fiesty Lotus: We gather tonight to celebrate the longest day and shortest night, Litha, the Summer Solstice.
Fiesty Lotus: The Sun shines down upon us in its full crowning glory. It’s light, life giving and purifying.
Fiesty Lotus: I honor the elements themselves. I am surrounded by tall trees.
There is a clear sky and sun above me, clear water around me and cool dirt beneath me, and I am connected to all of these.

Hobbit Archdruid Fiesty

Fiesty Lotus: I celebrate the Summer Solstice, held in honor of the Sun.
All of Nature vibrates with the fertileness of the Summer Spirits

Fiesty Lotus faces south and thinks of fire
Fiesty Lotus: The Earth basks in the fires of the light and life of the Sun.
Fiesty Lotus: The ever-turning Wheel of the Year has made the light ever stronger
And the light has kept growing longer, until today
Fiesty Lotus: The middle of the time of light, Litha, MidSummer's Eve, Summer Solstice.
From here, the light begins to fade, again,
Fiesty Lotus: Until once more the Wheel turns to the time of darkness, Samhain, Yule, Winter Solstice.
Fiesty Lotus: Yet, for today, the Sun is high, the light is bright, the Earth is warm.
As the Sun blazes above, may the fires of my rite flame below.

Elf Archdruid Fitheach

Fitheach Eun turns to face the west and the water
Fitheach Eun: From the west, the mist rolls in
Bringing gentle rain and billowing fog
Fitheach Eun: The life-giving water without which
We would all cease to be.
Fitheach Eun: Water, life bringer, healer of all
Flow into and through us
Fitheach Eun: Bring change and fluidity
The clear stream of mystic reflection

Fae Talia and Rorn

Fiesty Lotus turns to face the North and thinks of the Earth
Fiesty Lotus: The sun rises high in the summer sky
And lights our way even into the night
Today the sun casts three rays
Fiesty Lotus: The light of fire upon the land, the sea, and the heavens
Beneath my feet is the Earth, Soil dark and fertile
Fiesty Lotus: The cradle of all creatures
The womb in which life begins
And will later die, then return anew.

Dragon Savage (Svagtuz)

Fitheach Eun turns to face the East and the birds of the air
Fitheach Eun: Warm winds caress my spirit
And rustle the green leaves above me
Fitheach Eun: Soft and tender breezes carry the scent of summer’s bounty
Give support and flight to all creatures of the air
Fitheach Eun: You dance around us gaily, but carry the threat of storms to come
Fitheach Eun: The darkness begins to hold sway
Fitheach Eun: Soon you will bring cooler winds and threats of winter snows
As the world turns to the dark again
Fitheach Eun turns back to the altar

Around the Altar

Fitheach Eun: Does anyone here wish to contribute any words to this celebration?
Talia.Sunsong: I feel the vibrancy of the sun
Talia.Sunsong: May life flow into us
Savage Taurus: May the sun give us strength and health
Fitheach Eun: Let us take a minute to remember absent friends and hope for their return
And keep a moment of silence for those we will see no more.
Fitheach Eun bows her head for a moment
Fitheach Eun: But, today, at Litha, we celebrate the life and love of the spirits of the world
Fitheach Eun shouts: Now let your hearts be light and your spirit filled with joy as we revel in the joys of Midsummer!”
Fitheach Eun: Let us dance out the longest day and honor the light as it begins to take its leave of us.
Talia.Sunsong: Do Fae get naked now?
Fitheach Eun: Thank you all.

Food on the Altar

Talia.Sunsong: Thank you Druids!
Savage Taurus: Poor Rorn will be scarred for life
Fitheach Eun: The circle is broken; the rite is ended. Go all now in peace and joy.
Talia.Sunsong: Rorn swoops down and snatches a cupcake off the
Altar.
Fiesty Lotus: Them cupcakes look good.
Talia.Sunsong: Rorn lands in a tree and rips the paper off the cupcakes and swallows the treat in 2 bites.
Savage Taurus: Good ceremony droods, let’s eat the foods.

Kraken

  Sea Witch Sorceress: "Have you decided to give up your consort to me?" Sorceress: Or do I loose the Kraken? Sea Witch: Sea Witch...
