[A Forest Glen]
Sunlight filters through the canopy of trees overhead, warming the ground and casting velvet shadows across the grass.  A wheeled cart, its scalloped awning shivering in the light breeze, stands near the entrance to an exotic silken tent.  Like an echo, the low murmur of laughter carries on the air, its origin unknown.  You also see a Costume Contest list.

Felicity's chain clinks noisily as she moves about.

You see Firebreathing Felicity, a female dragon.
She is frighteningly large from nose to tail.  She is armored in tough scales of varying shades of indigo.  Her wings are folded along her back allowing her to wander more easily through crowded areas.
She is wearing a leather collar with a tag that reads: "My name is Felicity.  If found, please contact the Princess."  Attached to her collar is an obviously broken heavy chain.

Ryan Sloan says, "That was close"
Felicity spreads her wings wide and yawns lazily before slowly tucking them back around her.
Jean Jameison pets Felicity Dragon in a patronizing manner.
Felicity Dragon stands tall on her back feet stretching her wings out the sky, the tips touching the leaves of the trees.  As she stretches them you notice that the soft indigo is transparent between the braces of her wings allowing the light show through.
Miranda Arelyn exclaims, "oooh!  Pretty!"
Silvie Rivard whistles at Felicity Dragon!
Jean Jameison exclaims, "on pretty dragon!"
Felicity Dragon takes a deep breath and blows a huge ball of flame up into the sky.

Sebastian Benvenuto says, "No, Quasimundo...Quasimoto's French"
Jeff Van'Vranken says, "Ah."
Sebastian Benvenuto gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Sebastian Benvenuto says, "Speaking of French, one of my French colleagues recited a song to me a long time ago that I would like to share with you..."
Sebastian Benvenuto says, "She said the inspiration for this piece was Dante, for his love of Beatrice"
Sebastian Benvenuto seems melancholy.
Sebastian Benvenuto clears his throat.
Sebastian Benvenuto croons beautifully:

    "When the dark wood fell before me
     And all the paths were overgrown..."

Sebastian Benvenuto croons beautifully:

    "When the priests of pride say there is no other way
     I tilled the sorrows of stone..."

     Though you came to me in the night...."

Silvie Rivard exclaims, "Next up! Auguste!"
You say, "Okay..."
You smile.
You say, "Buon Giorno, signore e signori. "
Auguste Delatour twirls around, showing off her costume.
You show a high-waisted gown of creamy gold brocade with a square neckline and tied-on sleeves to everyone present.
[Many gold threads have been woven into the creamy fabric of this early Italian Renaissance style gown, making the material softly radiant.]
You show a billowy linen chemise with blackwork style embroidery done in gold thread along the neckline to everyone present.

You show a pair of cream-colored velvet slippers with intricate gold embroidery to everyone present.

You say, "And note that I've had my hair dyed blonde, which was fashionable during the Renaissance."
You grin.
You say, "Now that you've had a chance to gawk at my costume..."
You chuckle.
You say, "Today, I will be taking on the part of Katherine, elder daughter of Signor Baptista Minola of Padua, perhaps better known as the shrew from 'The Taming of the Shrew.' I will be performing a song from 'Kiss Me, Kate,' a musical based on that play. That show was a favorite of mine and I saw it a few times when I lived in New York. The song is called 'I Hate Men.' And before I start I'd like to assure all of you I do not have misanthropic tendencies like Kate the Curst. "
You grin.
Silvie Rivard chuckles.
Sebastian Benvenuto coughs.
Miranda Arelyn giggles.
You ask, "It's just some of my villainous acting, okay?"
Angel McNabb grins at you.
Auguste Delatour chuckles a bit before taking on a serious expression and preparing to sing.
You feel ornery.
Auguste Delatour grabs an old-fashioned broom that had been leaning against the cart as a small group of musicians enters and begins to play. With a scowl and an angry gleam in her eyes, Auguste venomously states "I. Hate. Men." She flings the broom on the ground to emphasize her point and starts to sing in a querulous tone.
You sing:

    "I can't abide 'em even now and then"

You sing:

    "Than ever marry one of them, I'd rest a virgin rather
      For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother "

You ponder for a moment and reflect.
You sing:

    "Of course, I'm awfully glad that Mother had to marry Father
      But Iiii hate men. "

You sing:

    "Of all the types I've ever met within our democrassy
      I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy "

You smirk to yourself.
You sing:

    "He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie
      Oh, Iii hate men! "

You sing:

    "I hate men
      Their worth upon this earth I dinna ken."

Auguste Delatour scowls before turning to address some advice to a group of young maidens in the audience.
You sing:

    "Avoid the trav'ling salesman though a tempting Tom he may be
      From China he will bring you jade and perfume from Araby"

Auguste Delatour leans towards the group and gestures.
You sing:

    "But don't forget 'tis he who'll have the fun and thee the baby
      Oh, I haaaate men!"

You sing:

    "If thou shouldst wed a businessman, be wary, oh, be wary
      He'll tell you he's detained in town on business necessary,"

Auguste Delatour draws away from the group of maidens, chuckling sarcastically and giving the audience a knowing look.
You sing:

    "His bus'ness is the bus'ness which he gives his secretary
      Oh, Iiii hate men!"

Auguste Delatour grabs some fellow's empty tankard, startling him, and forcefully flings it onto the ground.
Joy Nalewi chuckles.
You sing:

    "I hate men
      Though roosters they, I will not play the hen. "

Auguste Delatour smiles cynically.
You sing:

    "If you espouse an older man through girlish optimism
      He'll always stay at home at night and make no criticism "

You exclaim, "Ha!"
You sing:

    "Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism
      Oh, Iiii haaaaate men! "

Auguste Delatour angrily kicks a stool, overturning it and sending it rolling across the ground.
You sing:

    "From all I've read, alone in bed, from A to Zed, about 'em
      If love is blind, then from the mind, all womankind should rout 'em "

You look a bit frustrated.
You sing:

    "But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without 'em?
      Still, Iiii hate men! "

Auguste Delatour grabs the broom again and stomps off in a huff.
Morgan LeFox just whistled at you!
Sebastian Benvenuto looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf!
Jess Whiterose chuckles.

You giggle.
Andriella Marcuouso nods.
Sebastian Benvenuto starts chuckling at you!
Angel McNabb says, "that was amazing"
You say, "Just wanted to be clear."
You grin.
Morgan LeFox agrees with Angel McNabb.

Silvie Rivard exclaims, "Next up, Morgan!"
Morgan LeFox walks her pet up before the audience.
Morgan LeFox says, "Scorch was born here, and he insisted we dance at his home Faire, so we will perform a trio of tradional dances for you."
Morgan LeFox looks at Scorch's large feet and tail.
Morgan LeFox says, "With luck, that is."
Morgan LeFox curtsies to the audience and presents Scorch with a flourish. Scorch bows.
Sebastian Benvenuto smiles at Morgan LeFox.
Morgan LeFox hugs the dragon and he wraps his wings around her to protect her.
Morgan LeFox says, "Thanks, Scorch"
Silvie Rivard grins.
Morgan LeFox curtsies a bit more deeply and her gown billows around her. Scorch hopes everyone will remember to LOOK at all of Morgan's pretty pieces, er, costume pieces.
Morgan LeFox shows an enchantment blue silk "La Reine Margot" gown laced with twisted gold and silver cording and embellished on the bodice with hand beaded iridescent crystal violets to everyone present.
Fashionable in the French court, scandalous in the English and comfortable in the Caribbean, the low-curved and lace-edged Margot bodice is boned to be worn without corset or chemise, and the luxuriously full skirt is held in place by the simple weight of gravity.
Morgan LeFox and Scorch gambol across the green in a lively galliard, Morgan's slippers barely touching the ground.
Morgan LeFox shows some ivory slashed leather Italian dancing slippers trimmed with blue and violet beading to everyone present.
Favored by ladies who prefer comfort and safety to the high fashion of dangerous chopines, these slippers are slashed across the toe to reveal an iridescent taffeta filling.  They are soled with cork overlayed wood, and the uppers are lavishly beaded with blue and violet crystals in a scattered floral pattern.
Morgan LeFox pauses for a moment to adjust her tote, which took a whack from her dragon's tail. Scorch twirls twice to cover the motion.
Kim Canella chuckles.
Morgan LeFox shows an antique beige Jacobean lady's craft tote clasped with a carved ivory flower to everyone present.
Affected by noble ladies to hold embroidery and other genteel craft items for outings, this hand-crafted tote is lavishly decorated with animal and flower motifs in shades of multi-colored wool and silk crewel.
Morgan LeFox smoothes her hair to begin a slow pavane as Scorch extends his claw delcaitely for her hand.
Morgan LeFox shows a gold Celtic Renaissance hair spiral weighted at the bottom by a Trilogen knot laced with fresh violets to everyone present.
Made of thin metal sheeting pounded and twisted into a curling open spiral, this slender device wraps a thick lock of hair and ends in a mystical design to bring the wearer good fortune. Celtic noblemen often wore multiples of these spirals for festivals and feast days.
Morgan LeFox and Scorch execute the elegant, formal patternings the pavane as Morgan's necklace gleams in the light.
Morgan LeFox shows an elegant necklace crafted from tiny crystal beads into a series of delicate and perfect violets to everyone present.
Linked seamlessly  by fine twisted liquid gold and silver wires, these delicate blossoms sparkle with sapphire and amethyst hues. Tiny clusters of brighter yellow and rose gold form the center, with a single silver dewdrop and ocassional leaves of emerald crystal completing the dazzling effect.
Morgan LeFox swirls through the last figure, catching the flickers in her earrings.
Morgan LeFox shows a pair of enchanting crystalline earrings formed into delicate and perfect violets to everyone present.
Falling gracefully from fine twisted gold and silver wires, these delicate flowers are rich in sapphire and amethyst hues reflected in sparkling crystals. Tiny beads of brighter yellow and rose gold in the center, single silvery dewdrop beads and hand crafted leaves of emerald crystal make these violets look as real and fresh as a perfect Spring day.
Morgan LeFox and her pet sweep into a grand finale with a danse polonaise, Morgan's shawl fluttering as they twirl.
Morgan LeFox shows an ivory Shanghai Digao wool shawl embroidered with a classic Jacobean tree of life to everyone present.
The sweeping back of this finely spun wool shawl is decorated in lavish crewel embroidery featuring a Jacobean tree motif with ornate leaves and flowers in pastels and neutrals highlighted with gold tracings. Birds in vivid hues perch on the Tree of Life's branches and on the ground beneath the tree is a hillock covered with baby rabbits, small squirrels, and dappled fawns.
Morgan LeFox gasps as the Princess' guards rush in, thinking they've found her pet, and wondering if her waistbag symbols proclaim Morgan a witch.
Morgan LeFox shows a Venetian Tarocchi waistbag in thick hand-cut velvet embroidered with delicate gold and silver tracery in arcane patterns to everyone present.
This oversized pouch obviously was tailored by a master craftswoman to preserve the balance of its contents.  Lined in the purest silk to repel negative energies, its thread patterns shimmer before your eyes, seeming to flash scenes of past and present before fading into an unreadable hint of the future.
Morgan LeFox beat a hasty retreat under the cover of Scorch's smoke. Consider that they've bowed and curtsied, and that all of it has been an illusion of the Faire.
Morgan LeFox exclaims, "Run, Scorch!!"
Silvie Rivard laughs!
You giggle.

Silvie Rivard exclaims, "Next up, Elysia!"
Elysia Francois smiles.
Elysia Francois lugs a folding metal chair to the middle of the room with her, placing it down with a sigh of relief and fixes the overlay of her gown.
Elysia Francois motions Angel McNabb over with a quick wave of her hand.
Elysia Francois says, "Angel will be assisting me this evening."
Angel McNabb stands next to Elysia Francois.
Elysia Francois smiles.
Elysia Francois says, "Tonight I will be performing two scenes from a classic novel and a recent Hollywood movie.  Ahem, it is from the epic tale, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien."
Elysia Francois grins.
Elysia Francois says, "First, let me show everyone my costume that was lovingly created by Cathy Louis, Riley Matson, and Wyckham Kensington.  Without them, this performance could not be possible, so if they are out there tonight...thanks. "
Elysia Francois shows a gnarled ancient oak staff with a shimmering crystal orb set in its claw to everyone present.
Crafted from an ancient oak tree revered by several druid clans of the dark forest, a palpable aura of power seems to surround this staff.
Elysia Francois shows an ethereal shimmering white square-neck maiden gown with a sheer hand-beaded overlay that flows into a gauzy train and draping bell sleeves to everyone present.
Spun from what appears to be the morning dew itself, light radiates from this garment in a magical aura.  The delicate beaded overlay seems to be a collection of enchanted stars woven together to form this dream-inspired creation
Elysia Francois shows a pair of glass slippers to everyone present.
Elysia Francois shows a soft white hooded cloak with magical runes embroidered in silver along the hem to everyone present.
The silvery runes at the hem of this cloak seem to glow with a magical aura that is only made more mysterious by the small, ancient relic used as a clasp.
Elysia Francois shows a slender silver diadem with a pearl pendant set in the middle to everyone present.
Elysia Francois shows a soft white beaded wrist bag embroidered along the bottom with ancient runes to everyone present.
Shimmering beads cover the surface of this soft white bag, lending it an almost unearthly glow.  Ancient runes, indecipherable, have been embroidered around its base.
Elysia Francois says, "Now without further ado..."
Elysia Francois clears her throat.
Elysia Francois sits on the folding chair, placing her hands sagely in her lap, her gaze turning to well of memory and profound experience, while her face remains motionless, save from her gaze which flitters from one open space to the next, as though taking in the crowd.
Elysia Francois turns her expression grave but retains its ageless beauty, the shimmering radiance of her gown illuminating her face in an ethereal glow of mystery.
Elysia Francois says, "I will not give you counsel, saying do this, or do that.  For not in doing or contriving nor in choosing between this course and another, can I avail; But this I will say to you:  your Quest stands upon the edge of a knife.  Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all.   "
Elysia Francois her features darken as her eyes pass over you, a heavy burden of knowledge evident upon her shoulders, then once again she is illuminated by the ethereal beauty of her gown.
Elysia Francois says, "Yet hope remains while all the Company is true. "
Elysia Francois eyes passively rest upon you as a faint flicker of a smile dwells in momentary splendor upon her regal lips.
Elysia Francois rises regally, moving several paces to the edge of the scene and from her expression you get the impression that a scene has thus changed.  She is now engaged in pouring water from an invisible pitcher, her gaze focused intently off stage.
Elysia Francois turns to Angel McNabb.
Angel McNabb offers an obsidian ring to Elysia Francois.
Elysia Francois laughs, peals of twinkling delight ring forth from her lips, though there is an undertone of turmoil.
Elysia Francois says, "Wise the Lady Galadriel may be, yet here she has met her match in curiosity.  Gently are you revenged for my testing of your heart at our first meeting.  You begin to see with a keen eye.  I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired to ask what you offer."
Elysia Francois accepts an obsidian ring from Angel McNabb.
Elysia Francois gazes down with a fanatics willpower, turning over a small obsidian ring over and over again in her palm, her motions becoming increasingly frenzied with each progressive motion.
Elysia Francois says, "For many long years I had pondered what I might do, should the Great Ring come into my hands, and behold!  it was brought within my grasp"
Elysia Francois speaks as though talking with herself, engaging in quite an internal struggle as her ageless brow wrinkles as her eyebrows knit together in an intrinsic, unspoken battle.
Elysia Francois says, "And now at last it comes.  You will give me the Ring freely!  In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen.  And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night"
Elysia Francois her voice becomes increasingly louder with each word, her entire body trembling as the war rages between her willpower and her desire, her eyes now as large as saucers as she behold the power of the small jewel within in her grasp.
Elysia Francois exclaims, "Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain!!  Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning!  Stronger than the foundations of the earth!  All shall love me and despair!"
Elysia Francois lifts her hand and from the ring you sense a power that issues forth a tangible force that seems to ensnare her as her glossy eyes become focused upon the ring.  She rises, almost upon the very tip of her glass slippers to impose a towering and humbling figure of power.
Elysia Francois suddenly she lets out a sigh, her head falling limply against her chest as tendrils of black hair gently fall in front of her tired and weary face.  She laughs quietly, lifting her ageless, expressionless visage for all to see once again.  A slender elven woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice is once again both soft and sad.
Elysia Francois says, "I pass the test.  I will diminish and go into the West, and remain Galadriel. "
Elysia Francois quietly she passes, without another word, back to her seat.
Gregor Popov just applauded Elysia Francois.

Meda Fyre bounces around happily.
Meda Fyre drags Allison up in front of the crowd.
Meda Fyre says, "Good evening, Ladies, Gentlemen, Dragons, and fellow wenches! "
Silvie Rivard exclaims, "Next up, Meda!"
Silvie Rivard chuckles.
Allison McGuire attempts a little curtsy, but trips over her skirts.
