016. "Queen Sylvie! Mighty is she! Queen of the Sweeties!"

[Corwin]

[19:41] <Kotono> "Ah," Clearing his throat, "I have found..." As Josa goes on, Sylvie returns. With her is Aaeru and Wayland, as she carries a big old sack along with her.
[19:43] <Aaeru> "Hi!" Aaeru greets all present.
[19:43] <Wayland> Peering around, Wayland says, "What's going on, guys?"
[19:44] <Andria> "Hello!" Andrea chirps cheerfully as she waves excitedly, her hand waving wildly, as she greets Aaeru and Wayland.
[19:44] <Janson> "Hey you two," Janson nods, "You're just in time," he adds, but lets Josa handle the explanations in his own inimitable style.
[19:45] <Kotono> "Ah, our advertising plan is being discussed. Aaeru," Clapping his hands together, "To spread the name of our group, advertisement is in order. I daresay lovely princesses about would be fine advertisement. You would look radiant in a flowing gown and jewelry, no?"
[19:45] <Aaeru> "I've been told that before," Aaeru agrees.
[19:46] <Wayland> "No. No. Absolutely not. I'm not wearing a dress. Not again. Never again. Absolutely not." Wayland disagrees!
[19:46] <Kotono> This gets Josa to clear his throat and then rub his temples, "I did not ask you, though I find this volunteering of information rather...ah..."
[19:46] <Janson> "Wow," Janson backs away from the ever excitable Wayland. "Did you say that you'd die before wearing a dress again after last time? Because... y'know. Funny how that works out."
[19:47] * Aaeru laughs.
[19:47] <Wayland> "...oh. Well. Let's pretend I never said that. At all. Ever." Wayland looks ever so slightly lighter-blue.
[19:48] <Kotono> Josa exhales long, and muttering a little louder than may be prudent, "So many princesses..." Clearing his throat up after, "Ahem. Now then, three princess about will make wonderful advertisements, and the two of you can escort two of them. As for a third escort and information giver, hm..." A moment's pause, snapping his fingers, "We do need a third, yes."
[19:49] <Janson> "Why not get Silver to be a fairy princess?" Janson suggests.
[19:49] <Aaeru> "Oh, I'm sorry," Aaeru feels the need to apologize. "I thought you meant that as a purely theoretical question. I've always turned down the people who said that, I'm afraid."
[19:49] <Wayland> "Keep that monstrosity away from me!" Wayland looks skittish.
[19:50] <Janson> "Wow... looks like we've only got one princess after all. Does that make you Queen by default?" Janson asks Sylvie with a chuckle.
[19:51] <Aaeru> "One day I could learn the spell that disguises the user and join you," Aaeru promises to Sylvie.
[19:53] <Kotono> "Just me?" Sylvie crosses her arms, but Josa quickly looks to her. Her arms go right down as she turns red, "Yes boss."
[19:53] * Aaeru looks at Janson and Andrea. "So why aren't you guys helping Sylvie out?"
[19:53] <Andria> Andrea looks a little woozy suddenly as she topples atop on of the few empty seats remaining. "Ooooh...you....weren't kidding about the tiredness that follows...Josa," Andrea mutters. Looks like Janson will have to answer for now!
[19:53] <Kotono> Josa clears his throat, "It seems we have found a flaw in the plan then, yes. Our lovely ladies seem adverse to being Princesses." After a beat and a sigh, "Janson and Wayland, are the two of you going to suggest that you two be the princesses?"
[19:55] <Wayland> "No."
[19:55] <Janson> "Uh..." Janson scratches his head. "I'm missing a few important qualifications. I mean, I could give it a try and all... Or why don't you just hire a few other girls for advertising only?"
[19:56] <Kotono> "That costs money," Josa says, crossing his own arms, "Between stocking the supply cabinet, expenses in candymaking and candymancy, commissioning advertisements and upkeep, there's no room in the budget for hires right now."
[19:56] * Aaeru bows contritely. "I'm sorry."
[19:56] <Andria> "Make a potion that turns Janson and Wayland into girls for a few hours!"
[19:57] <Andria> Andrea sags after her exclamation. "...okay, wow, even acting excited is tiring right now..."
[19:57] <Janson> "Um... I guess that could work," Janson allows, blushing purple.
[19:58] <Kotono> "The point is," Clearing his throat another time, "Is that we have to make due with what we have, since the vagaries of fate are always expensive. I'd have to look up the recipe, work it out and make it. That would cost as much, if not more, than hiring a few pretty girls."
[19:58] <Kotono> After another moment, and turning to Sylvie, "I suppose that means we may just have to use Sylvie to the utmost."
[19:59] <Janson> "Maybe just scrap the whole princess thing entirely, then? We can advertise as ourselves, Sylvie can do the same thing she did for the sweet shop, and maybe Silver could help?" Janson offers helpfully.
[19:59] <Aaeru> "Oh!" Aaeru exclaims suddenly. "What if you just asked some of the people in the crowd and offered them the sweets of their choice?"
[20:00] <Andria> "I really will try to make the effort to go out in a dress if you REALLY think it'd help..." Andrea says hesitantly, putting particular emphasis on the 'really'.
[20:01] <Kotono> To this Josa starts to pace, "Advertising as ourselves lacks panache and flair! Who is taken in by reality when a lovely vision of what can be is more appealing, my friends? Further, free samples worked out in a most disasterous way last time, as you may recall." Back and forth he goes, "All of this aside a moment: Do any of you have better ideas?"
[20:02] <Wayland> "Wait. Why won't Andrea wear a dress?" asks Wayland, confused.
[20:02] * Janson rubs his head as he tries to think along the same lines as Josa... a hard challenge, to be sure. After a moment, though, "Oh!" he claps his hands together. "QUEEN Sylvie," he points brightly at the blonde, "And her loyal retainers, knights, and maids!" he gestures to incorporate the rest of them. "How about that? By royal decree, you MUST try Whimsical Sweets!"
[20:03] <Andria> "Ooooh, I like that..." Andrea says, latching onto Janson's idea rather than answering Wayland, as she claps her hands together.
[20:03] <Aaeru> "I can be a humble retainer," Aaeru agrees, fitting into the role.
[20:04] <Kotono> "Queen Sylvie," Despite it all Sylvie's lips twitch upward, "Say boss, does that mean I get paid extra for being a Queen?"
[20:05] <Kotono> Josa's smile doesn't even falter, "Ah, no. There's no money in the budget for that. Wayland, it seems Andrea feels defenseless without her armor."
[20:06] <Wayland> "...but we're in the city! In public! Who will attack us here?"
[20:06] <Janson> Now feeling a bit bad for her as it starts to look like she does need the money, Janson leans over, "I'll buy you that book you were asking about later on," he whispers to Sylvie.
[20:08] <Andria> "You never know!" Andrea defends herself.
[20:09] <Wayland> "I'm pretty sure!" he retorts.
[20:16] <Kotono> "Oh!" Sylvie's smile picks right up, "Thank you!" Meanwhile Josa nods, "Veryw ell then, let us execute that idea. Queen Sylvie and...what will each of you be?"
[20:17] <Aaeru> "A humble servant of Her Royal Highness," Aaeru responds with a courtly bow. "Command me as you wish, Majesty!"
[20:17] <Janson> "What kind of costumes do we have?" Janson leans over to pick at the sack brought up. "I guess I could be a butler or a knight if there's some ornamental armour?"
[20:19] <Wayland> "I could be...something?"
[20:20] <Kotono> Within the sack is a variety of costumes and outfits - all manner of things. "Ah, perhaps a servant and a few knights," Josa suggests.
[20:22] * Wayland nods. "I know how to look convincing in armor. I can do that."
[20:24] * Janson hauls out a dark coloured doublet and roots around a bit more for a set of leggings to go with it. "Think these are right for a butler or majordomo type?"
[20:26] <Kotono> "Ah yes, this will work," Josa stands, "I will return after seeing business, clad yourselves in costumes in the meanwhile."
[20:28] * Janson hunts around a bit more, finding some ornate slippers and white gloves to complete the look. "This should all do nicely..." he momentarily looks around for somewhere to change before asking, "Think I should shave, too?"
[20:28] <Wayland> "Probably." says Wayland, hunting around for some armor.
[20:29] <Kotono> There's some coverage in the corner, Janson sees. There's some ceremonial armor mixed up in there too.
[20:30] <Wayland> Grabbing the armor, Wayland goes to try it on.
[20:30] <Janson> Having settled on butler Janson has no need for armour. "I'll get changed first," he says since he has all his attire, going into the corner to get out of his usual sturdy woolen homespun.
[20:33] <Kotono> As the two go dress, Sylvie hums, "Maybe this will work out after all?"
[20:34] <Aaeru> "Certainly, Highness!" Aaeru chirps up supportively.
[20:34] <Andria> "Well, it's certainly adapted in an interesting fashion, so I don't see why it wouldn't," Andrea says from her seat, with a tired smile. Hopefully the side effect of Josa's potion ends before they do more stuff...
[20:36] <Kotono> Soon enough the two come back out. Sylvie claps, "That looks fairly nice," she calls to them, "So we get dressed up and Josa likes this, we can do this andg et it over with?"
[20:36] * Janson returns a few moments later, his clothes a little bit too tight but more or less serving to present him as a noble servant of some such. Licking his fingers, he uses them to smooth down his still somewhat burnt hair before putting his white gloves on. "So what do we do when we're out there? Stick up posters and offer free samples like you did the first day, Sylvie?"
[20:37] <Aaeru> "Free samples were apparently a terrible idea," Aaeru repeats Josa's earlier words, "but posters should do the trick?"
[20:38] <Janson> "Brought me here!" Janson grins in response to the free samples, tugging on his gloves to make them fit properly.
[20:39] <Kotono> "Yes, and a lot of face to face talking." Sylvie nods, "We'll have to be like a court, so you guys will do most of the first talking while I make grand proclamations and the like. Right?"
[20:39] <Aaeru> "By all means, Majesty!"
[20:40] <Janson> "And we keep the riff raff away!" Janson laughs.
[20:41] * Wayland returns, adjusting his armor. "We'll savagely beat anyone who dares upset you!"
[20:42] <Kotono> "Now thet hree of us will get our outfits ready. Why don't the two of you go," WAving her hand, "Go see how Josa and Silver are doing downstairs?"
[20:44] <Janson> "Oh, sure," Janson blushes purple at the implication that he'd otherwise stick around to ogle them and hurries downstairs.
[20:46] * Wayland follows after Janson, nodding.

[Corwin]

[20:47] <Kotono> --
[20:48] <Kotono> Going downstairs, the duo finds Josa talking to a middle aged woman, lumpy and stooped. They chat together by one of the candy cases, keeping their voices down. Meanwhile Silver is leading a few children around, running about a case as they chase her.
[20:49] * Janson doesn't really have anything to do on this side of things so he just leans on a counter and smiles pleasantly at Silver's hijinks with the kids.
[20:49] * Wayland blatantly ignores Silver and looks over to Josa questioningly.
[20:51] <Kotono> Josa's talking in low tones to the woman - you can't easily overhear it. OOC: You can make listen if you wanna be nosy.
[20:52] <Wayland> roll 1d20+3 nonchalantly
[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Wayland rolls 1d20+3 nonchalantly and gets 19." [1d20=16]
[20:53] <Kotono> Wayland can hear Josa. "...of course, but our best value is that. So tell me more about that?" Meanwhile Silver flies on over, fluttering over by Wayland, "Over here!" she calls, "The blue man is the candy thief! If you catch him you'll get the candy!"
[20:55] * Janson laughs at this new twist to the game. "Run, run, as fast as you can~" he carols.
[20:55] <Wayland> roll 1d20+3 to grab Silver out of the air and throw her across the room!
[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Wayland rolls 1d20+3 to grab Silver out of the air and throw her across the room! and gets 4." [1d20=1]
[20:56] <Kotono> Wayland isn't quick enough, Silver zipping by as he grabs at her! She gives him another obscene gesture as she flies off, the kids running right for him! It's four kids in total, each one calling, "CANDY THIEF!"
[20:58] * Janson shows some mercy for Wayland, grabbing four small pieces of candy from behind the counter that won't hurt his pay too much. "Good job, kids!" he grins, coming over to hopefully keep Wayland from exploding. "The Candy Thief's been brought to justice and you've earned your reward."
[20:59] * Wayland frowns at Silver mightily before turning to che children, grinning and saying, "You cought me!"
[20:59] <Kotono> "Yay!" The children take the candy happily, Silver coming up round behind them, "See, doesn't he look like a criminal?" Flapping her wings as she starts fly off, "Now come this way!"
[21:00] * Wayland sighs. "I really hate that fairy."
[21:01] <Janson> "She's only like that because you provoke her. Notice she hasn't said a word out of turn to anyone else?" Janson points out quietly, watching her lead the children away.
[21:02] <Wayland> "Oh. of course not." Wayland drawls, his eyes rolling. "That would be fair."
[21:02] <Wayland> "The fey are twisted little beasts that only want to use and manipulate mortals for their own amusement. They don't care how we feel. I don't thjink they particularly care at all. They're monsters. I hate them."
[21:05] <Janson> "Did one... kill someone you knew?" Janson asks delicately, edging away slightly from the fury in Wayland's voice. "I mean... maybe some are bad, but most of the ones I've met were really nice."
[21:06] <Wayland> "Oh if it were that simple, I'd have destroyed the one that did it and have been done with it. No, instead they try to subvert the way of life in Pallanth. They are trying to manipulate an entire race into what they want. Some sort of twisted game for them."
[21:06] <Kotono> Meanwhile you can hear Sylvie calling you, calling you to come back up.
[21:07] <Wayland> Shaking his head, Wayland heads back upstairs. "I'd rather not speak of this now. There are better times and places for this discussion."
[21:07] <Janson> Sounds way over Janson's pay grade, so he lets it drop and heads upstairs.

[Corwin]

[20:47] <Kotono> Once they are gone, Sylvieturns to the remaining two girls, "Andrea, are you going to go as yourself, or...?"
[20:48] <Andria> Andrea shrugs. "I don't mind wearing different armor, if you have something that will follow the theme," Andrea says. "I just don't like being without armor."
[20:48] <Aaeru> "Do you take if off at home?"
[20:50] <Andria> "Pretty much just when I sleep or bathe," Andrea says.
[20:51] <Kotono> "So you eat with it on, wear it outside and everything," Wrinkling her nose, "Isn't that hot, uncomfortable and smelly?"
[20:51] <Aaeru> "You should air it more often," Aaeru says sternly.
[20:52] <Andria> "You guys haven't complained before!" Andrea says with a bit of tint on her cheeks. "And I do take care to clean it so it doesn't stink up a lot...oh, I guess I do take it off after sparring with Instructor Olan and Brent too..."
[20:53] * Aaeru shrugs. "I'm not the complaining sort."
[20:55] <Kotono> "Well, then you two are about set," Sylvie goes to the sack, "Help me find a gown in here real quick?"
[20:56] * Aaeru goes to help look!
[20:58] <Kotono> Soon enough a flowing, pale yellow-white gown is withdrawn. It cascades down to the floor, flaring out past her waist. Bits of costume jewelry go with it, as well as a faux diamond and ruby tiara. Sylvie turns about, "How do I look?"
[20:58] <Andria> "You look very pretty, Sylvie!" Andrea says with a smile.
[20:59] <Aaeru> "You need a royal scepter," Aaeru muses, peering at Sylvie from this way and that. "Do you suppose Josa has one made from candy you could borrow?"
[21:00] <Andria> "Won't she end up having a lot of cats and dogs and other animals trying to eat her scepter if it's made out of candy?" Andrea asks, looking a bit doubtful about the idea. "I mean, a scepter would be great, but...made of candy?"
[21:01] <Aaeru> "To better advertise?"
[21:01] <Kotono> "I don't think there is one in there," Sylvie shakes her head, "Maybe a sword, like how a Queen might use one as a ceremonial tool?"
[21:02] * Aaeru consider it, tapping her temple. "Any sign of office should work!"
[21:05] <Kotono> "Right! Do either of you have a sword I can borrow?" Sylvie smiles winsomely as she looks between then, "Okay, well besides Aaeru. I know that."
[21:05] <Andria> "We could have her carry Branna's sword. I don't think he'd mind lending it back for a bit of advertisement, and the sword technically is a symbol of Whimsical Sweets," Andrea suggests.
[21:06] <Aaeru> "Nope! But thanks for including me!" Aaeru responds.
[21:06] <Kotono> "Well, let's call them back up then and ask," Sylvie raises her voice, "Janson, Wayland, you can come back up!"
[21:12] * Janson comes back up the stairs. "Oh, hey, you the only one getting changed after all?" he asks Sylvie after a glance to confirm Aaeru and Andrea are in their normal attire. "Looks good on you."
[21:13] <Kotono> As Janson and Wayland come back up, they see Sylvie. She wears a yellow-white gown flared out past her waist, a ruby and diamond fake tiara and bits of other jewelry. She stands up straight, "Peasants, how do I look?"
[21:13] <Aaeru> "Sorry," Aaeru apologizes again. "Wearing anything fancier goes against my religious beliefs, and wearing something simpler will probably take too long, since I'll need to ensure it doesn't carry disease."
[21:13] * Wayland raises a gray eyebrow and grins. "Very nice, Sylvie."
[21:14] <Andria> "If I'm going to be Sylvie's knight, I think I'm appropriately dressed, unless you have a spare full plater armor laying around, anyhow..."
[21:15] <Aaeru> "Aren't those fitted to the wearer?"
[21:15] <Andria> "They usually are actually, good point," Andrea admits.
[21:16] * Janson just doesn't have anything to say in the face of Aaeru's perversely restrictive religion, so lets this drop as well. "So I guess we grab our posters and fliers and head out, then?"
[21:16] <Aaeru> "Sure thing! I'll work twice as hard to make up for my handicap!"
[21:17] <Kotono> "Right." Sylvie says, "We'll find out where they are from Josa real quick, get them and get started."
[21:22] <Kotono> A nearby shop is named the Flowing Word. Here a dapper man with gray-white hair that flows long awaits. He wears a slender silver circlet, eyes seemingly always shut. "Ah, the Whimisical Sweets order," He goes behind a counter, coming back with a tall stack of papers. "Here. 500 sheets, ready to go, praise Mystra."
[21:24] <Kotono> "Thanks," Sylvie looks to the papers, and snapping her fingers, "Retainers, get those."
[21:25] * Wayland grabs a portion of the sheets.
[21:25] * Janson takes the remainder and splits them into thirds to divide between himself and the other two girls.
[21:25] <Aaeru> "As you order, My Queen," Aaeru responds, curtseying, and helps herself to some of Janson's posters.
[21:26] <Andria> Andrea smiles, amused by Sylvie gettign into her role so well as she silently help out too.
[21:28] <Kotono> "Now then," Sylvie begins to slowly walk along, "How about we go to Merchant's Way and advertise?"
[21:29] * Wayland nods. "Sounds good!"
[21:29] <Janson> "By your command," Janson makes an effort to get into character as well, walking behind and to the side of Sylvie with a stiff and proper posture.
[21:35] <Kotono> Thus, the party steps out to Merchant's Way! Underneath warm skies you step out, Sylvie taking a long, slow walk out as she looks about. Merchants hawk there wares, rich shopes have their doors open. People come and go, most well dressed or guardsmen. All about they flow, both citizens and travelers. You can see a few elves about, a single dwarf hanging back and watching things, and various skin
[21:35] <Kotono> shades - the darker colors from the west, normal white of the region, tints of red and earthy brown, golden skinned humanoids and other such.
[21:37] * Aaeru waits for Sylvie's signal to start distributing her fliers!
[21:37] * Janson steps forward before Sylvie now! "Make way, make way! Make way for the Queen of Whimsy and Sweets!" he calls, getting attention for her own grand proclamations.
[21:38] <Kotono> Sylvie begins to walk forward, a faint blush as she murmurs, "Just act it up! Get attention!"
[21:39] <Andria> Andrea's face twitches at Janson's proclamation, but she pulls back a laugh. She can't act up like that! She can barely resist laughing just watching Janson do it!
[21:40] * Aaeru curties hurriedly, and then makes her way to the elves, almost falling down clumsily before retaining her balance in a last moment rescue. "Sirs! Madams!" she says breathlessly, handing out a flier to each. "Please have these small tokens of Her Royal Highness's appreciation!"
[21:41] <Wayland> "Haha! Come see our selection of delight and sweets!" Calls Wayland as he hands out fliers to children and adults alike!
[21:41] <Kotono> Sylvie looks about as the party begins! Her face is drawn up into regal reserve, cool and commanding. She says not a word, only occasionally meeting eyes with the various people. Oh yes, there are people. A small crowd gathers around you, staring as flyers are given out! "Whimisical Sweets? Whazzat?" One challenges aloud.
[21:43] <Aaeru> "T'is the place where Our Whimsical Mistress holds court," Aaeru responds, before hiding her face behind the fliers. She offers one, hand trembling. "Please come and visit it yourself."
[21:43] * Janson starts to ham it up more, getting into a ryhthm as he strides before her majesty. "Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar Hey you!" he points to the hapless challenger, thrusting a flyer at him, "Let us through! It's a bright new star! Oh Come! Be the first on your block to meet her eye!" he turns to gesture flamboyantly to Sylvie.
[21:43] <Wayland> Zipping right up to the shouter, Wayland accepts the challenge! "Only the finest sweets shop in the city!"
[21:46] <Kotono> The challenger is a man with a slight pot belly and stubble, dressed well despite this. "What sweets shops has a bleedin' QUEEN?"
[21:47] <Wayland> "This one does!"
[21:47] <Kotono> A golden skinned young man chuckles, stepping orward to take a flier. He's a beautiful man, graceful as he plucks one from Aaeru's grasp with two fingers, "One with a sense of style?"
[21:47] <Janson> "Queen Sylvie! Mighty is she! Queen of the Sweeties! Leader of our most Whimsical Troubleshooters and Villain Booters! They faced the Sharran blackguard, a werewolf dog canker! Who sent those goons to their lords, why Queen Sylvie!" Janson responds in rhyming verse, projecting his toneless voice loud and proud!
[21:47] <Kotono> An older man, dressed in rich clothes of silk watches, "What sort of candy? I can get elf bread from any half competent baker."
[21:48] <Aaeru> "D-Don't be disrespectful to Her Majesty!" Aaeru warns the challenger, pulling down her fliers slightly to glare at him. "Or I w-won't forgive you!"
[21:50] <Wayland> "Our Creator Of Candies is a half-elf, good sir! Raised traditionally! He knows his Elf Bread!"
[21:50] <Kotono> Sylvie turns to them and simply looks on with cool contempt! Meanwhile the older man chortles, "Oh, I heard about that Sharran. Oh yes, I heard all about the execution when it was announced by the criers. Are you saying that a CANDY SHOP defeated him?"
[21:51] <Aaeru> "And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for us!" Aaeru prounces with uncharacteristic bravery.
[21:53] <Janson> "Hey, she's got seventy-five elven bread varieties! And jam flavoured tarts we've got fifty-three! And when it comes to heroes of daring? Well, Whimsical Sweets is always caring! To fight the good fight and stand up for the light!" Janson continues to improvise his booming toneless song of their proud exploits as he marches around. He really hopes Josa does have those many varieties, he's half
[21:53] <Janson> making things up on that side.
[21:53] <Andria> "We're no ordinary candy shop!" Andrea exclaims, bothered by how the man is treating them.
[21:54] <Kotono> Sylvie glances at Andrea, and in a bare whisper, "Could you take over the singing from Janson? Please?"
[21:55] <Kotono> As more fliers are taken the older man grunts, "So it's heroism and candy in one? Curious." He at last takes a flier, "I'll keep all of you in mind if I need candy and mercenary work at the same time."
[21:55] <Aaeru> "Her Majesty has an army of candied soldiers and chocolate golems at her beck and call!" Aaeru insists. "Strong, fearsome, and tasty to the last! What other Queen of Sweets can make that claim?"
[21:59] <Kotono> As the fliers vanish away more people come. One in particular steps past the older man as he retreats. He's a man with a happy smile on his face, whistling. He's muscular and well built, wearing a gray tunic and slate gray leggings, with a black cloak. He takes a flier, "Sounds like a lot of fun. Whimisical Sweets and Troubleshooting, is it?"
[22:00] <Aaeru> "Thank you for your patronage," Aaeru says shyly, bowing before him.
[22:00] <Janson> "There's no question these mercs are all fierce! Never ordinary, never dreary! And our candy's a taste that's made to impress - but most of all don't you just love how the Queen dresses?" Janson keeps on going with his performance, thinking quickly to get the best rhymes he can but barely managing to pull even the basic ones off, but unwilling to back down now that he's started!
[22:01] <Andria> "But he's doing so well..." Andrea whispers back to Sylvie. "And your dress is rather lovely, like he said."
[22:03] <Kotono> OOC: Make a perform check, Janson? +1.
[22:03] <Janson> roll 1d20+3
[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Janson rolls 1d20+3 and gets 7." [1d20=4]
[22:07] <Kotono> The crowd begins to thin out as Janson goes on, Sylvie glancing about. As it does, "Okay, that's a good first attempt...let's try making some noise a ways down, or maybe in another part of the city?"
[22:08] <Janson> "Phew!" Janson tries to catch his breath, "Yeah, give me time to think up some new rhymes. Hey, weren't you going to make big proclamations?" he asks Sylvie.
[22:08] <Aaeru> "You were rhyming?!" Aaeru exclaims, whirling towards Janson in shock.
[22:09] <Andria> "I think you stole the show with your performance, Janson," Andrea says with a smile. "I couldn't even think of anything to say myself because I was enjoying yours."
[22:09] <Janson> "Yeah... I mean, impress. Dresses... that's kind of a ryhme," Janson replies weakly. "Oh, what about Troubleshooters and Villain Booters? I really liked that one!" he brightens. "Blackguard and canker was a bit harder to link... had to pronounce it a bit 'aaar' y'know?"
