[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4905009, member: 79945"] Someone clears their throat just behind Hacker. Standing RIGHT behind him is a tall, thin man dressed in outlandish yellow and purple motley. Despite the brightness of his outfit, he somehow managed to get into the bar unnoticed. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Friend,"[/COLOR] he says, [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"I might suggest a different course. You seem to have quite a gift for colorful linguistics. You know your way around a metaphor. I think you might be [i]very[/i] interested in the offer I'm about to make..."[/color] Suddenly the jester spins around to face the tavern and his voice booms out, magically amplified to flatten every other conversation in the room. [color="DarkOrchid"][size=4]"BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER [size=6]STORYTELLING CONTEST[/size]!"[/size][/color] 7 Rabbit's face lights up, and the man nods at him. [color="DarkOrchid"]"Yes, YOU remember what I'm talking about - I remember the tale you told last time, and if you want my opinion, it should have won. You were robbed, sir, robbed! But now is your chance for a comeback! Any of you - yes, ANY of you - could go home with a purse of 50 shiny new gold coins offered by the Jongleur's Guild of Bacarte! Just entertain the crowd for 15 minutes with your best tales of adventure, your favourite local legends, hell your favourite dirty jokes, and at the end of the night the Jongleur's Guild will reward the best storyteller - as judged by the applause of your peers - with [size=4]50 BIG ONES[/size]. How can you go wrong?"[/color] [color="DarkOrchid"]"Just sign the paper there -"[/color] he points to a sheet tacked to the board on the wall (which wasn't there a moment ago) [color="DarkOrchid"]"- and I'll be back tomorrow evening to hear your stories! And both I and the owners of this fine establishment hope you'll tell all your friends about this. Come support your local artists! Tomorrow evening! Right here!"[/color] As he gives his speech, the jester's gestures grow more sweeping. With his last word he jabs his hands dramatically at the floor at his feet, which erupts in orange smoke. When the smoke clears, he's gone. 7 Rabbit applauds. [sblock=OOC] We did one of these before - everyone who wants to tell a story can post one, and at the end everyone whose character is in the tavern can post their vote for best story. If you want to participate, please post your character signing the sheet so I can get an idea of how many are interested (but if you want to join in later without signing, no problem). We'll start as soon as the adventures being recruited now get sorted out. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
