Grackle declares.  He shows it off to the Admiral, consulting the weasel in their shared tongue about what the shiny stick might be.......Though the rest of the group couldn't understand the strange speech of the gnome and weasel, the conversation went a little something like this, you imagine, from the expressions, reactions, tones, and gestures of the two as they debate:Grackle "This must be a Shiny Stick of Shinyness!  It must make more shinies!  Look at it, Admiral!  It's SOOOOO shiiiiinyyyyy!  It MUST make more shinies!  I bet, anything I touch with it, becomes SHINY!"  Jumping up and down, jabbering excitedly.Weasel ".......No.  And even if it WERE something like that, why didn't it make the throne shiny?  Or you?"  Blank stare, followed by flat, monotonous noises by the weasel (you wouldn't quite call them words, but.....).Grackle "Silly weasel, shinies are for gnomes!  OF COURSE it didn't make anything shiny until I picked it up!  There wasn't any gnome holding it before!  Only a gnome would know how to make it make, uhhh, shiny, stuff......out of......not-shinies.....  Cuz it's magic like us!"  Rolled eyes, snide tone, then a knowing grin and explanatory tone, followed by gleeful exclamation.Weasel "Of course.  Whyever didn't I think of that before.  Oh, right, because it's RIDICULOUS." Rolled eyes in return, fake apologetic tone, then a sharp, screech-like rebuke.Grackle "Your face is ridiculous.  All scrunched up and ratty.  Yeah, ratty.  You sure you're a weasel, not a reeeeeaaally scrawny, miniature giant space-rat?  With ginooormous ears?" sarcastic rebuke, jabbing his finger in the weasel's face, turning his back and looking back casually.Weasel "Yes.  No.  Well, I'm an Admiral, so there.  What are you?  Are you sure you're really a gnome, not a freakishly short, fat, and hairy elf who smells bad?" Self-assured nod and tone, then a few confused chitterings, and a questioning tone with a scrutinizing expression, pointing at Grackle's gut, face, and feet.Grackle "Nope.  Momma said I was the cutest little gnome-child she EVER saw.  Pretty sure I'm a gnome.  Yup.  Even has MAGIC hands!" Contemplative stance, stroking his chin, then a smile and cheery respones, and a brief show of jazz-hands accompanied by a flickering, spinning, sparkly light evoked with Prestidigitation.Weasel ".......Right.  That was entirely pointless.  The metal rod is most assuredly NOT a.......Shiny Stick of Shinyness.......  It just isn't.  I would say it was a king's scepter, a symbol of his rulership and auperiority over the lesser folk of the region, and an effective tool for chastising unruly servants.  Fitting, perhaps, for an Admiral as well, but certainly not a grubby gnome from the middle of nowhere."Grackle ".........That's silly.  It must be a Shiny Stick of Shinyness.  Or a Back-Scratcher of Ultimate Back-Scratching.  Or a Mixing Stick of Magical Mixing.  Or a Musical Mace of the Maestro.  Or a Mystical Mace of Magical Mystery.  Or a Rod of Really Righteous Wrong-Righting.  Or a Rod of Raisiny Goodness.  Or a Staff of Shiny Smiting.  Or a Staff of Supermagical Superness.  Or a Stick of Smashing Things Real Good.  Or a Stick of Wondrous Wonder and Delicious Delight!  OOoohh!  I hope it's one of those!  I could use some delicious, crunchy bugs with sweet, squishy centers right now!!!  Or a shiny hat!  Hey, wasn't there a shiny hat on the big chair that fell down the hole?  Go get it, go get it, go get it!  I wants a shiny hat to go with my shiny stick!!!" Skeptical expression, followed by speculative consideration, then an ever-increasing grin with ever-more-gleeful mutterings as he gets more excited, followed by frantic jumping up and down and waving the shiny stick around, mostly in the direction of the pit where the crown and throne descended........[sblock=ooc]Tried to post this yesterday, but my wireless network went kaput and I had to wait. -_-[/sblock]</blockquote>
