VOODOO EVENT

[salagadoola]

[At least six different tents are situated within the quad, each filled with table upon table and bookshelf upon bookshelf of odd, strange, (and sometimes) terrifying wares: potions, powders, badges, pills, charms, jewelery, boxes, pouches, jars of body parts (...let's hope they're not human) and small animals, and bottles of all intricacies with

[Andy buys something relatively harmless-looking: a necklace with a ring and blue die.. It looks nice, and maybe it's good luck. Everything's been going pretty well since he's been here, why would something that probably isn't real screw anything up?

He wanders away, examining it in his palm and notices an inscription on the inside of the band.]

"For a change of perspective?" That's...[Mildly foreboding] interesting.

[....He puts it on anyway.

and then he's falling--]

[affably_andy]

[--but no, no he isn’t. It feels that way, but he never lands on the ground. When the feeling of vertigo passes, the now eleven-inches-tall Andy finds himself almost drowning in the snow.]

[shysupersister]

[Violet could have sworn she was only going in to window shop, not actually buy anything.

But damn, that Fairy Godmother sure knows how to make a girl feel special and as if only she deserves an item.

In the end, Violet walks away with a music box; normally, she wouldn't be interested in such an item, but... it reminded her of one she used to have when she was younger, and in turn, that reminded her of home.

Needless to say, she'll be listening to it real soon.]

[topsyturvyfool]

[You know, he doesn't usually believe in magic and voodoo. He believes in some superstition, but in his experience, most people who claim to have magic are just frauds.

So when he takes a cat charm, leaving a couple silver coins for it, it's mostly because it's an odd thing and he happens to take a shine to odd knickknacks. Maybe one of the little gypsy girls back home would like it put on a necklace or something.

But as he's looking it over again in his room, it... does something weird.

And then he decides that he completely believes in the voodoo thing.]

[darkhonour]

[Dark Leonardo thought he was lucky when he came across the stand. Everything was on offer! The Fairy godmother offered him a two for one deal and after a little help and some suggestions off The Fairy Godmother he walked away with a belated Christmas gift for Lottie. And And a little something for himself too.]

[Now he just had to go find the girl and give it to her.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[You rang?

Lottie is out and about today, though she's keeping her distance from all the tents, taking the longest route possible, even to her beloved dance studio. Thing is, she knows first hand how dangerous Voodoo is, and is sadly reminded of that every day.

She shouldn't be too hard to miss if DL looks around the edges of the school; after all, how hard can it be to find the bouncing pink girl when she's out of the crowd?]

[darkhonour]

[Not hard, but it does take longer than normal since he does expect her to be in the crowd. Bit he's not about to question why she's alone, it makes this easier for him. He deliberately lands nosily as he jumps down behind her from from his vantage point.]

Hey Pin- I mean Lottie!

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[EEP. Loud noises during a Voodoo festival make for a very jumpy Lottie. She startles and yelps before spinning around.]

Goodness gracious! You gave me a fright!

[retriever_dug]

[Dug sniffs around the tent - so many interesting sights and smells! He isn't really here to purchase anything, he is a dog, after all. But if anyone can offer any assistance, it'd be much appreciated!]

Oh boy, what are these--- SQUIRREL!

[He bounds across the tent to the origin of the smell - a stuffed squirrel with creepy red eyes. He then starts barking at it in a slightly-scared fashion.]

[isthatasquirrel]

[The creepy squirrel's eyes start to glow - the stuffed animal actually coming to life - it's attention now directed at the barking dog in front of him..

It can sense the dog's dislike of him. His ears perking up as it seems to get an idea.

It hops a little closer, eyeing Dug intently and then.. BAM.. it jumps onto the dog. Everything explodes in a puff of smoke and when it clears.. Dug is.. gone.

Only, that isn't strictly true...]
