Gnomes are so cute

Here's my gnome "paladin," Kymble Q. Lighthammer, and her girlfriend, Bebonni. Kymble's just given BB all the clothes she's wearing here.

Server Transfer

Oh, yeah, I didn't really mention this before.

I transferred Oraibi from the Kirin Tor (US) server, to the Moon Guard (US) server. Both are RP servers, but RP on KT is pretty dead, while it's fairly lively on MG.

Ora met a girl who looks like a younger, smaller version of herself -- same face and skin on the toon -- and they decided they might be cousins. So Ora joined The Court of Miracles, the guild of Leucothea, her maybe-cousin.

Oh, and Ora is now "Oraibii" (extra "i") on Moon Guard, because the name "Oraibi" was already taken by someone there! :(

Play: The Enchanted Spyglass!

On Moon Guard tonight, my guild put on a very well-attended Winter Veil Ball -- with over 200 people attending! Also, Yonli and her gnomes lit off more that 1,400 fireworks.

The ball started with a short play put on by me, Auste, Garnett, Lailie, and Leucothea.

The Enchanted Spyglass!

Auste (Standing slightly to the side and in front of the actors): And now, my faithful audience, I bring you the tale of the enchanted spyglass! It is a tale of a man about to be wed, to the love of his life.

Auste: But this man was having doubts! For all they did was argue and argue, and on the night of the wedding, just hours before the ceremony, they had the biggest fight of all!

Garnett throws up his hands in exasperation, "You're infuriating!"

Oraibii points accusingly at Garnett, poking him in the chest; "You make me wish I dated women!"

Garnett turns and stomps from the room, slamming the door.

This is where Ora stealths and goes away, and Leu appears; sitting in the snow.

Auste: Now our Groom thought all was lost! The wedding was surely to be called off! But then he comes across the witch of Helm's Bed Lake....

Leucothea sits in the snow, polishing her staff. "You look troubled," She states loftily, as Garnett passes, not looking up from her lap.

Garnett stops, looking down at the woman, "My wedding is to be called off." He blurts out, attempting to wrench his engagement ring from his finger.

Leucothea still doesn't look up, "Do you want it to be?"

Garnett stops trying to pry the piece of jewelry from his finger, looking down. "I don't know... Should I?"

Leucothea: Should you?

Garnett: ...That's what I asked...

Leucothea: Do you want to know?

Garnett: Well obviously or else I wouldn't have asked.

Leucothea reaches into her bag, pulling out a spyglass. "This shows things when they are old and crumbling, it shows the future." She holds up the spyglass for Garnett to take.

Garnett takes the spyglass, looking down at it, "Well, that's nice, but how is this going to help me?"

Leucothea: Look through it, while facing your bride, and you will see what you get if you marry her.

Auste: So the uneasy groom takes the spyglass and goes to see his bride! He puts the spyglass over his eye and enters the room!

Garnett opens the door, one eye squinted closed, the other peering through the spyglass.

Auste: And what does he see?

Lailie sits on the floor looking up to greet Garnett happily.

Auste: An old and crumpled woman! He sees an old woman, lined with wrinkles, missing teeth, and drooling all over herself!

Garnett pauses, stopping and jerking backward, revolted.

Auste: It seems the groom has seen his future wife, and can barely stand the sight of her!

Auste: But then...

Garnett notices the happiness in his wife's smile, his eyes travel to the ring; his ring, on her finger. And, his expression softens.

Lailie: Welcome home, honey!

Garnett leans in to kiss the old woman's whithered cheek.

Auste: And so, Garnett returns to the witch, to give back the spyglass.

This is where Lailie disappears by turning invisible.

Leucothea sits where Garnett left her, still polishing her staff. "And?" She purrs, without looking up.

Garnett: I'm going to marry her.

Garnett hands back the spyglass.

Leucothea gives a nod of her head as she takes back the spyglass, "Very good."

Auste: So the Groom and the Bride get married! And everyone lives happily ever after, except for the witch.

This is where Garnett and Ora should be standing like, to the right, the audience on their right side, and Leu is sitting to the left of them; facing the crowd.

Auste: For as the witch sits in the audience at the wedding, she removes her hood, her face finally revealed! And... it is the same exact face as the bride's!

Auste: Dun dun duuunnn!

Auste: The End!

All stand in a line and take a bow
