Day 1 - Morning

[wizardseason]

Morning: 06:00am - 12:00noon

[ IRL Timeframe: February 18th - February 25th, 2019 ]

The day begins quietly, with no indications that anything strange could occur today. The Princess and the Knights have all arrived on the island. Maybe you arrived a few days ago or maybe you just got off your red-eye flight before the sun came up. Everyone's on Harsen Island and so is the Wizard.

Things start simpler for Luka Eutychia, Olivia Walkyr, and Rory Honeycomb. The instant they set foot on the island, Olivia and Rory will both get an image of Luka in their heads and realize that they are the good-allured knights and he's the Princess. Luka, meanwhile, will see both Olivia and Rory in his thoughts and realize they're the good allured knights.

Prompts:

• 6:00am: It's the early morning celebration van! In all three towns, someone's driving around a vehicle playing blaring music and shouting "Let's go Knights! Let's go Princess! Beat that Wizard!". Seems like someone wants the heroes to succeed, hopefully your characters weren't sleeping. If you confront them, maybe they'll have something to say?



• 8:00am: Far Haven: All Knights and the Princess are invited to a big breakfast banquet. Come one, come all! Maybe meet some of the locals? Maybe chat with your fellow heroes? All knights are given lanyards, but the princess gets a lanyard and a crown if he's here, and they're all seated at the big hero table.



• 9:30am: Bamborough: All Knights and the Princess are invited to an oceanside brunch! Wether they live in Bamborough or they live elsewhere and visited here, they're welcome to eat the brunch and participate in waterfront games. Thank the resort owner for this welcome! Or chat it up with your fellow heroes by the water. By now everyone should be full.



• 11:00am: Craydon: Craydon's welcome is much more modest, the locals have invited the Princess and his knights to the local Multipurpose Center. They've set out a spread of light appetizers, chips and dips, vegetables and spreads, fresh breads and cheeses, modest drinks. It's the least extravagant of the welcomes but the locals are still here to meet and greet everyone. With a smile and a handshake they wish everyone the best of luck. How are you and your fellow heroes holding up with all this attention? Did you skip all these events? Attend all of them?



• 11:30am: The Wizard (Year 40 She/Her/Hers) strides in to the Craydon Multipurpose Center with her hands in her pockets and casually looks around the room with a gentle smile on her face and huge bags under her eyes. Her eyes are black with cyan sparkles in them, looking very much like outer space itself as she scans the room and everyone in it. Good luck for anyone here, they get first dibs on seeing the Wizard. She'll be shuffling around the multipurpose center in her light blue pajamas and bunny slippers, occasionally adjusting her tiny glasses as she looks around. At least she's got her wizard hat on so no one could miss what she looks like this year. It's a shocking difference from the big muscled dude (Year 39 He/Him/His) she was last year or the slick suit-wearing smooth talker (Year 38 They/Them/Theirs) they were the year before but it's still absolutely the same wizard.

Comments

[zafika]

Alright, at least Seth doesn't seem to be bawling his eyes out, Zafika can handle little bit of sniffling. "You, really don't have to thank me for such thing but... you're welcome." They're bit surprised that, Seth actually thinks they're a nice person, but it does make them smile a bit too.

At a mention of introducing them to Abigail, their curiosity is once again piqued. "Abigail? Are they one of your friends? And, oh, right, you can introduce me to them, at least quickly. We'll have more time to talk later, I'm sure of that."

[silentwords]

Seth was definitely absolutely beaming, managing to actually get a full on proper smile on their face.

"Yeah. She's been with me since the beginning. She's the first one I ever made...it kind of shows I guess but...since she was the first I don't want to upgrade her like I do with Marion, one of my other long time friends. She's the only one I could bring with me to the parties since I could only fit one of my smaller friends into my bag and she goes everywhere with me. She's really sweet...she doesn't really talk much unlike some of my other friends, but she's really good at comforting me. It's just sort of in her presence I guess."

[zafika]

Zafika smiles a bit when they hear how quickly and eagerly Seth is typing on his phone, and it just becomes that much more obvious to them that his dolls are very, very important to him.

"Well, in that case... it's very nice to meet you, Abigail. I'm glad to hear you've been doing such an amazing job at supporting Seth so far." They even offer their hand for Abigail to shake, and since they're the one initiating the gesture they don't have to worry about trying to blindly find her hand.

[silentwords]

Seth is just absolutely beside himself with joy at Zafika's response, holding Abigail in his hands and placing one of her small wooden hands in Zafika's extended one.

If Zafika were to take a peek at Seth's face they'd see him having the most adorable and happy expression on his face.

"Abigail says she's really happy to meet you too!"

[zafika]

Zafika gently shakes Abigail's hand before they let go and straighten up some more. "I'm glad. I hope she's ready to keep helping you here too, but with how good of a friend she sounds, I have no doubts she'll do an excellent job."

Alright, maybe meeting the other knighst wouldn't be too bad, so far the beachside brunch had gone pretty well actually.

[silentwords]

Seth hugged Abigail to his chest, still beaming. He'd been feeling pretty anxious and bad when he'd come here to hide away for a bit, but now he honestly felt a lot better...enough to actually consider maybe brawing the crowds again to try and get to know at least one other Knight.

"Hey, I think I'll actually go see if I can find one of the other Knights to talk to, even if it's still a bit scary. Thanks for chatting with me...I honestly really enjoyed this, efter the inital rather awkward start. I'm not sure where you're located but I'm staying at a house near the center of the town here in Bamborough, I keep all the curtains drawn mostly so that's something to look out for, or puppets if I have them open to let the flowers get some light. Feel free to drop by if you want, I could introduce you to my other friends."

[zafika]

Zafika is surprised, in a good sense, when Seth informs them that he'll actually go and try to talk to the other knights, and, apparently they had helped him with deciding to do that? This was, really actually going better than expected.

"Alright, good luck. I'll try to talk to some of them too in just a bit. But... okay, I'll come visit you here, I promise. I wouldn't mind getting to meet the rest of your friends."

[silentwords]

Seth pushed himself off the sand, making sure he hadn't dropped anything before he typed a goodbye.

"Thank you! I look forward to introducing you to them! I'll see you around then!"

And then after taking a deep breath off he went to brave the crowds again.
