Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special

[hatejakku]

Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post


Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

"Alright, let's hop to it then!"

Hmm... He should play it safe, at least to start with. He directs Selene to cure Frog Four.

[hatejakku]

The bard mouths 'oh my god' at the second pun but keeps on strumming the lute.

SUCCESS! Frog Four is cured, changing back into a man! He wheezes, laughs a little, and runs out of the building. He'll be fine.

"All right!" the bard laughs happily. "Let's keep the ball rolling, yeah? How about some more?"

"Of course! You can de-pond on me!" It's not going to stop.

Sticking with the safe options for now! Let's go with Frog Four again.

[hatejakku]

The bard groans, his music slowing down. Hasn't he suffered enough???

Anyway. SUCCESS! Frog Four is cured, changing back into a man! He freezes, pretends he's still dancing, and dances his way right out of the area.

"Not bad," the bard says with a little laugh, trying to forget the puns. "Let's see what we get this time."

"Weird odds on that one," the bard remarks, still playing.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

"Hmm-hmm. I've never been much for gambling, but this is almost making me feel like a rib-betting man."

Two different ribbit puns so far. He's on a roll.

Trust the power of math! Frog Two, I choose you!

[hatejakku]

The bard stops playing for a second, hiding his face in his hands. The frogs stop dancing, too, before he goes back to playing with a renewed energy.

Right, okay, SUCCESS! Frog Two is cured, changing back into a woman! She gasps for breath with wild eyes before crawling away to tuck herself into a corner. She's probably good.

"You're doing great with the healing, anyway," the bard remarks before tossing out another libra.


Frog One
Bard: 35%
Touch Me: 55%
Bard w/Crystal: 10%

The bard hums but doesn't say anything... Perhaps he's rooting for the frogs this time.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

"Are you feeling alright, friend? Please don't push yourself, I wouldn't want to see you croak."

These odds are getting a little too low for his liking. Still over 50% for one of them, but...

Well, here goes nothing... Frog Three!

[hatejakku]

"Seriously!?" the bard asks but-

SUCCESS! Frog Three is cured, changing back into a man! He stands up and pushes a Chime Crystal into Uendo's hands before running away... CONGRATS!

"Oh, finally," the bard sighs, still playing his lute.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

Uendo hardly even gets a chance to thank the man before he's bolting away. Ah well. They got a crystal out of it!

He blinks when the bard doesn't cast another Libra.

"Ah, are we finished already? I still have plenty more where that came from..." Is he talking about the heals or the puns? Take a guess.

[hatejakku]

"Ah- I-" The bard looks desperately between the frogs and his lute. "You still want to?"

Oh no. Oh no. "I- I mean, I guess I could?" He starts laughing to himself, pretty shaken. Looks like he's stressed out and on his last straw...

[whirluendo_of_puns]

On a closer look, the bard seems about ready to collapse... Poor guy. Must be tired after all that playing he's done.

"You know what, scratch that. Go take a break, pal, you've earned it." Uendo pats him on the shoulder. "Thanks for all your help. It's been an unfrogettable experience."

[hatejakku]

"... Yeah, I'll bet."

The bard sighs, sinking lower into his seat. This has been A Day for him.
