Scene 1Queen Fyora: Hello again you two.
Illusen: Queen Fyora why have you called us here? Shouldn't you be with the Council?
Queen Fyora: I know, but the Faerie Festival is important too. However, I don't have much time for planning. Which is why I called for the two of you once more.
Jhudora: Please don't tell me you're pairing us together again. I think last year was proof we can't work together!
Queen Fyora: As much as I would like to see you two get along again, I simply don't have the time to argue. So no, I am not going to ask you to run the festival with one another again.
Illusen: Then why are we here?
Queen Fyora: During these difficult times, communities need to come together in any way they can. This is why I believe putting on the Faerie Festival is vital.
However, there is no time and with many important resources turning grey around the globe, many may be feeling too helpless to attend.
And so I thought of a unique way to solve both problems at once!
Jhudora: We burn down this beacon of false hope and attempt to make change in actually productive ways?
Queen Fyora: No!
You two will hold your own festivals. Same as last year so there is no need to plan anything new.
And this year you two can compete to see who can get others to bring them as many items as possible!
Illusen: What sort of items?
Queen Fyora: Anything and everything!
We must preserve as many resources as possible to keep them safe from turning grey. Even the smallest of items could help out later down the line!
And this is a great way to get the community involved and show them that they too can help even in these dire times!
Jhudora: Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to not have to work with little miss prairie faerie over there, but with everything going on right now wouldn't our, or at least my, power be better extended elsewhere?
Illusen: What's wrong? Afraid I'll wipe the floor with you again, you sour candy reject?!
Yeah, that's right. I can do hurtful nicknames too!
Jhudora: Ugh, that didn't even make any sense!
Illusen: You don't make any sense!
Jhudora: Fine then! Screw helping elsewhere, let's do this thing! I'll throw a way better event than you anyways!
Illusen: Not if last year was any proof!
Queen Fyora: Stop acting like children!
Since this went about as well as I thought it would I will be sending someone to check in on you both periodically.
Jhudora: What? We don't need a babysitter!
Queen Fyora: That temper tantrum you both just threw indicates otherwise!
Nevertheless, he requested to be involved so this works out well.
For now, though, I will return to the Council. But I will be back from time to time to participate when needed. I trust you two to prepare on your own. Goodbye.
Jhudora: I don't like this...something is definitely up with this so-called "babysitter"?
Illusen: What do you mean?
Jhudora: This all seems like an awfully big risk just for Neopians to "feel included".
Illusen: I think it's a great idea! If communities stop coming together, they are bound to fall apart!
Jhudora: Seriously? You're not questioning this at all? It's not like the Queen is famous for always being forthright about all her plans.
Illusen: We need to trust that Queen Fyora knows what she is doing!
Jhudora: Like you're one to talk about trust.
Illusen: ...
Jhudora: Whatever. We only have a few days to prepare our own stuff, so I'm sure there are lots of leaves for you to collect for decorations or something. See you never, hopefully!
Fyora's head popup wrote:Faerie Festival is upon us!!
Judora and Illusen are still setting up, but they sent out invitations that you can read if you want!
While you wait, why not join the festival to partake in some fun quests?
Illusen wrote:Invitation
Illusen's Faerie Festival Invitation Enclosed!
Once again, you're cordially invited to this year's Faerie Festival, which is held in the woods just outside of Faerieland. We would be honored if you would join us in celebrating all Faeriekind and the community within our lovely Neopia. We know you have your choice of festivals, so we hope you will consider attending our stately soiree over any lesser imitation that may be circling about.
When the time comes, I hope you will choose to attend my festival. You can RSVP by joining the event. Do note, the Faerie Festival will run from this upcoming date of 09/24 until 10/10.
Jhudora wrote:If you're reading this it means you are invited to the Real/Fun/Superior Faerie Festival. Lucky you.
This will be where you can stretch your wings and cut loose. Not a snoozefest with snobby small talk!!! Bring food and any new dark magic spells or weapons you want to test in an unsafe environment.
So join the event now, and I'll save you a drink. And make sure you join MY event, got it? It's the only fun one if you get confused. When you choose to attend, remember that the Faerie Festival will run from this upcoming date of 09/24 until 10/10.
Scene 3Orion: Hel-hello cunning Dark Faerie Jhudora. I-I have come at the request of Queen Fyora to see how the festivities are coming along.
Jhudora: Ah, so the Queen sent her most recent problem child to be our babysitter, huh? How great.
Wait? You've come at her request? I thought she said you were the one who requested to come to the festivals.
Orion: We-well we both thought it pertinent t-to-
Jhudora: Why have you really come here?
Orion: Wi-with the Queen so busy I thought perhaps I could be of assistance during these difficult times...
I'll be travelling between you and Illusen from time to time, but I will mainly be held up in Faerieland doing some research with Seshatia in her library. If you need anything from me please don't hesitate to swing by.
Jhudora: Mhmm, I just might!
