*Strangely, his whole trick seems to consist of looping around, high in the sky...he seems to be presenting his back to the sunlight...when he falls back down, however, it's obvious what he was doing...he's glowing like a campfire's coal. Then the finale comes...he flaps his wings once and all the sunlight sprays outward from him, refracting off his auricpric scales into millions of tiy rainbows against a backdrop of golden light. Luciel settles on the ground*
How was that, Sir?

nice... very very nice... this portion of the contest is done by vote... so check back in a few minutes and we'll see how well ye do... i'll post the results on that board over there... and don't forget to vote yerself....
luceil wanders over to the voting hat and notices that four people, including himself, had performed in all... tam had juggled spheres of prismatic light, shia had turned invisible and then lifted the man's hat from his head when he wasn't looking (there was some argument as to whether or not she should have been disqualified as no one actually saw her do this trick) and keva shapeshifted into a small pig.... he wonders who he should vote for...

me brother... and he has this enormous appetite ye see... he's always hungry.... here... let me show ye.....
she unravels the cat's cradle and begins anew... telling luceil about her brother who had heard that the moon was made of cheese and decided he would eat it... it is a long convoluted tale with jor undergoing all sorts of preparations for the event... only to wind up with an enormous belly ache....
... and so ye see.. the moon didn't really agree with him... ye might say it argued all the way down... so much so he spat it back out... but it is no longer smooth and as pretty a jewel as it was back then... the acid in his stomah has left it pitted and covered with potholes...
throughout the tale she has woven scenarios in the weavings that led you deeper and further into the tale itself... it was almost as if you had been there yerself...
she grins then motions for you to continue with your exploration of the fete...

*He continues his explorations, bumping into Amestru from time to time...then he winds up near a different booth...carrying his box of playthings inside, he finds an adult contest...one for riddling. Suddenly, Kero shoves him out of the way*
No worries, Kiddo...I be the best riddler alive, save for a couple of creatures
*Kero marches their body over to the man controlling the game*
So...there room for one more in this contest?

the man at the booth stares at him then laughs... sorry kiddo... this game is for the adult...
oh, i think he can handle himself quite well... comes a voice from behind luceil... lyssan steps forward and urges the little dragon to take a seat with the other contestants... he's one of me best riddlers, so let him try... or are ye afraid to be bested by a kid?

*The man just glowers at her*
He has to put something up as a bet...and I won't take that chest of toys as his bet, either.
*Kero just looks smug*
What If I bet this...100 Gold Pieces to be delivered to the winner. I have the ear of a Voidmage...he owes me a favor, I saved his life once...that bet enough for you, Schlamo?

*His emerald eyes turn to her*
Very well, I concede the point. Thank you...*smirks* Mrs. Foxy lady.
*Strolls inside, thwapping the doorman with his tail as he moves past*
Okay, everyone...here's my first riddle for the bunch. As the newcomer, you all know that my riddle comes next.
*Clears his throat*
Where I may rest and you may not
Upon my throne of Onyx cold
Where to remember is to be forgot
My house, My home, My hall of old.

mutters and grumblings fill the small tent... as one and then another try to guess at luceil's riddle but fail...
amestru peaks in and frowns... lyssie what's going on here... we are to have happy thoughts... remember happy....
lyssan puts a finger to her lips and smiles... oh they'll be happy once he tells them the answer... ye know how riddlers be... they argue, grumble and even throw fits. but once they give and are given the answer.. they are elated to add another to their cofers...

*Kero looks around the room, flicking his mind out to Amestru as he does so*
So...do ye all give up?
Ookami...the day I lose a Riddling contest is the day I kiss a Kitsune.

amestru chuckles... it ain't so bad, ye know.... i kiss one all the time...
he smiles widely leans over and kisses lyssan on the cheek...
what was that for? she asks with a small curious smile... he merely grins even wider and slips an arm around her waist, pulling her close...
let's see what that answer is, shall we? it would be fun if someone guessed it wouldn't it?
