Summer Fun (Midsummer event with Jester and Birch)

Terra Ignis. That was where she wanted to go. ‘Wanted to’ being the key words. She didn’t get too far. She was in Shirotsume rather than Terra Ignis, and there seemed to be something going on here that seemed a good deal more interesting than seeing about some old dude putting some laws in around that old town she was going after. Before she left the castle, she requested for Bertrand to go off and find one of her guild members, but when he came back to her, he told her he requested two of them to accompany her, even though she was going to be taking the twins with her. Saraphina figured that whoever her servant had gotten to join her, would be plenty to accompany her. She was a bit too excited to leave when she had, and left her guild mates behind, she had only waited a little bit for her guild members to show up. Whoever came, was who came with her on her polar bear.

Currently, she was giggling as she was standing outside of the city that seemed adorn in various decorations across every building. The curiosity got the best of the white queen as she got close, and she made her way into the city, leaving Tỳr to wait outside for her for the time being. She just might want to crush the place like she had to Moabay Village. Today felt a bit odd to her though… She was feeling a weaker weaker magically. She hadn’t felt anything like this… ever. Or at least since she had gone to the Neutral Grounds and gotten herself her iLac. She never did use that thing anyways. Maybe she should try using it. She then looks over her shoulder to see where the twins were. Both of the black haired siblings were behind her, Nadaline holding her hands in front of her, while Bertrand stood up straight while following their mistress. “Is there a problem, your majesty?” Nadaline questions as she holds her chin up. Saraphina smirks as she looks to the city. “No, nothing is wrong… I just think I want to see what’s going on here…” She muses as she sees something out of the corner of her eye. There were shops in the distance in what seemed like the square, and they had some shiny object just waiting there to be viewed by others. Her attention was instantly grabbed as she makes her way into the city more.

The festival seemed to be spread all across the city. Shops opened with the midsummer themed products, foods, and little games for children to play. The closer she got to the center of the city, the more games she was able to see that were being set up. “What… what is this?” She questions as she started seeing more of the stalls she had noticed earlier. Her eyes lit up as she saw a jewelry stall with a bunch of shiny jewels on display. Of course… she needed it.

Midsummer Festivities

Saraphina had been pleased once again to see her favorite jester dressed up in something new. It was just as fancy as his other outfit, but it was different. She honestly couldn’t deny that she enjoyed seeing him dressed like so. When they had arrived at the festival, she didn’t think anything of it and hadn’t paid much attention to Jester. Nadaline and Bertrand did though. They noticed his stiff movements, and were keeping a slight eye on him as they walked a distance behind their queen. While she was admiring the jewels, Saraphina heard a splash and looked over to see Jester being touched by one of the workers here while his head was dunked under the water of an apple bobbing tub.

“Miss, he hasn’t been acting like himself since we got here.” Nadaline mentions quietly. The white haired queen looks over to Jester, then the jewels, then back at Jester. He wasn’t coming up. She looks to the jewels and picks up one of the necklaces that she had spotted that seemed nice. She handed it to Nadaline to hold before she walks over to Jester and taps him on the shoulder. She believed he wouldn’t try to harm her, and felt that there was nothing to fear. “Jester~! You getting me one of the best apples in there?” She giggles as she stood close to his side. She hadn’t paid any mind to the worker, her thoughts on making sure her jester was fine, and the jewelry not too far from her. “If you want to be dunked under water, the dunk tank is not too far from here~! But I command you to not harm yourself… who else can I play with when people are being mean to me?” She pouts as she crouches next to him. Her purplish pink eyes sparkling for a moment. She lifted her head to see where the other member had been. As she had done so, a thought came across her mind as she quickly shoots up and clapped her hands together a bit. “Oh~! Lets have fun today~!” She declares rather loudly.

The jewelry stall vendor noticed something was missing finally, and started to look angry. “Hey! Miss! Give back that necklace you just stole!” He cried out. “You have to pay for that!” Saraphina just looked at him like he had ten heads, before she puts her hands together and laid her cheek on the back of one of her hands and giggles. In all reality, she didn’t notice she stole anything, paying for it wasn’t something she did. “I don’t really know what you’re talking about. Must be those fire sprites doing it~!” She giggles as she had noticed four little sprites running about. They were going around starting little fires, and Saraphina found it good luck as it cleared a lot of the people out, but it made the vendors start to try to protect their stuff. She frowns as she puts her hands on her hips. She seemed to watch the fires that started while the sprites danced about and seemed to be giggling as they did so.

She turned her attention away from the sprites, enjoying the chaos that they were causing for now. She was hoping Jester had removed himself from the tub while she went over to the other member who accompanied her. “Please, remind me your name again?” She asks as she smiles up to him, showing her sharp teeth. He was about a foot taller than her, but she didn’t seem to mind. “You don’t seem to be having fun. Why not relax and enjoy yourself?! I’m sure you’d find something that is fun~! Like maybe…” She let her wide eyes trail around them, and gasped towards one of the games. A ring toss. “Why not win yourself something fun~?” She cheekily giggles. Her servants were a bit hesitant behind her as they were being cautious of the flames as they started to grow wider. She looks over to them before sighing and holding up her hand, letting her fingers wiggle as she spoke the spell. “Aegir.” The water started to swirl around with the little dance her fingers did and was making its way towards the fire. It was actually a bit of a struggle right now as she felt weak using the water on the fire to queel her servants anxieties. At least they weren’t running away like the rest of the people.

When Jester came back up with an apple, Saraphina let up an excited gasp. She was happy that had gotten her an apple like she requested. After he handed it to her, she held it in her hands gingerly before she took a bite out of it. She looks over to the blond as he told her his name, giggling once again as he introduced himself in a sense. “Don’t look so sad, c’mon! We’re going to have some fun here afterwards and take care of that one village not too far from here~! Put our lovely mark over it to show that we’re not accepting of the rules.” She purrs as she holds the apple to her lips once again. The white haired queen tapped the sides of the apple delicately while holding it with her palms of her hands. Jester questioning their reasoning for being here got her smiling. “Here? Yes! I want to have some fun before we destroy that village, Terra Ignis. Because the gods only know that the man whos there probably was going to succeed with his stupid laws by the time we got there.” She waved her hand a bit as she shrugged her shoulders.

Clearly, she felt the village was no big feat, but it’d be something big still regardless. As Birch said he wasn’t looking for a cheap prize, she pouts a little. “Who said the prizes had to be what they were offering?” She was trying to not giggle* now as she turns on her heels. She giggles as she watches Jester go off to start playing ring toss, peering over at the prizes. Did she want one? She wasn’t sure. She blinked as he went and took care of the pixies as they were having fun, and pouts. “Should have let them terrorize the place.” She shrugs. She had only made the pixies wet before to calm her servants so they could listen to her like they were supposed to, though, they were seeming like they were trying to go after her before she soaked the cretins. This game didn’t seem like it was too much fun anymore now that they had ‘free turns’ to play out of it…

She looked away and noticed that Birch was going off away. She pouts and quickly goes after him. When she caught up with him, she noticed the two mages and grips her hands together a bit. Down with winter?! Yeah right! Over her dead body! She was about to go and give them a piece of her mind, but they started going up to Birch instead. Curiosity got the best of her as she watched them start to fight. A grin grows on her face as she moves herself to sit on a bench nearby to watch the fight. She crossed her ankles over one another, and placed her hands together on her knee. Her eyes were shining as she watched how gracefully he fought these two numbnuts and found herself starting to lean forward a bit while she watched. Her head begins to tilt as he put his hand on the mans head and made him scream. What exactly did her member do? The curiosity was going to kill her. He apparently repeated it with the woman too. She taps her chin a bit, but she felt he was slightly different now.

The white queens’ lips curled into a rather devilish grin as she slowly stood up, clapping her own gloved hands to the show as she started to step forward. “So this is what was being hidden from me…?” She mused as she smiled. “Did you have fun? I’m glad you silenced them though! They seemed like they were party poopers!” She puts a finger on her cheek as she sticks her tongue out slightly. “Care to show me more of this power you possess?” Peering past Birch, Saraphina spies another game. She gasped and reached out to grab his arm a bit. “Would you want to play the Strength Hammer game?!” She didn’t really give him time to answer her question, as she started to attempt to drag him behind her. Towards the strength game anyways. Somewhere off at the other end of the festival, the music seemed to be getting louder as the events over at their end didn’t affect them. She glanced up to the sky a bit, noticing that the sun was reaching high noon. Something green and yellow caught the corner of her eye as she made her way towards the game, with or without Birch. Her attention is immediately grabbed and her head turns toward it just as a creature came crawling out of it. “Excuse me?” She questions as she was already tired of this festival having creatures and wackos just pop out. She wanted to play the games! The creature that came out was rather tall, and was mixed with a man and beast.

He spies the two of them and seemed to come charging at them. Without even thinking, Saraphina raised her left arm and yells; “Brunnhilde!” Down her arm and all the way to her feet is instantly covered in Armor. Her once white dress seeming missing as she was in golden armor without a helmet. She raised her arms and was crashed into by her. She made a growling face as she stumbled back a bit. Like hell was she going to be shoved around. She twiddled her fingers a bit and the water shot at this creature, but it seemed to just bounce off of him. She blinks as she didn’t understand for a moment. He was being his arm he had crashed into her with a bit though. Her armor had lit up on it, and seemed to burn him some when he touched her. A grin forms on the white queens’ face again as she holds her hand out once again. “Thrud!” She howls out and the hilt of a sword was suddenly in her grasp. A moment later, the blade flashed out, completing the sword and seeming ready to be wielded.

“I don’t like people hurting me…” She simply says as she giggles. “Would you like to try again? I can promise I won’t be the one down and losing.” She held her sword rather limply, acting as if she never held one before in her life. Her lack of even trying to take a defensive or offensive position made her seem like she was a great target. But the purplish pink eyes had a special gleam to them as she starts to grin. She had held up her sword and at least manages to graze the fast creature as she throws out her fist as well. Despite her usual attire of white dresses and having others fight more in her steed, she had learned how to properly fight with her fists and with weapons. Having dedicated a decent bit her life to her gods growing up, she needed to make sure she did for some of the powers they blessed her with. She also needed to show her power.

Her lips curled into a rather wicked smile, showing her teeth yet again. “Didn’t I say I don’t like people hurting me?” She giggles as she turns her head slightly. She was playing with this guy. Knowing at least Jester would appreciate it. She was slightly wondering if Birch would come in instead and have his fun with her with this goat thing. She’d enjoy that. She raised her arm and pointed her sword at the creature, light shining brightly from the sword before five more were floating around her. The creature should of been blinded from that, now she simply had to wait to see if he’d attack her again.**
