[Open Log] How Strange You Are to All
Who: Cecil Gershwin Palmer and You
What: General shenanigans
When: Late May into early June
Where: Town Hall, Library
Warning(s): Joking reference to Yorick's habit of dying
1. How strange to grow so old [Town Hall]
Town hall is a bustling space, but some days thepropaganda media wing is a pretty chill part of the building. Yorick is often busy with other duties or dead, meaning the office is Cecil's. Were you sent to talk to him? Do you want to advertise your business in the paper or on air? Well, here's the place to be!
2. And to never grow up [Library; new arcane focus]
To Earthlings of a certain time period, the objects laid out before Cecil might seem familiar, as he sits in the library. A board with a grid on it, some squares colored in shades of blue or pink/red (including the center square, pink with a star in the middle of it). A bag that rattles woodenly with small objects inside when shaken. An Emeran dictionary over on the edge of the table. He reaches into the bag, pulling out a handful of tiles; each has a letter on its face, and a smaller number in the lower right-hand corner.
He is not playing the game properly. He is not playing the game at all. Those with a sense for magic may feel a certain pressure in the air, the weight of portent. A growing tension like the feeling of needing your ears to pop.
Perhaps it's worth inquiring what's up here.
3. And to never grow tall [Calzones]
There's a pizza oven on the farm where Arthur, Gwen and Sally live. And the weather's nice enough to do some cooking--so Cecil's been making calzones with both local ingredients and specialties from Paradesium. If you're in Downtown Hollow, you might be approached by an eager, bright-eyed Cecil with a basket full of varied calzones, looking to pawn one off on you. Yes, the flavor combinations might be a little strange, but if you can wrap your brain around 'orange chicken' and 'sweet potato and maple syrup', you might get a free dinner out of it.
And if you're someone who fights, Cecil might task you with picking up ingredients like peppers and fruit from Paradesium, or helping to hunt for meat.
