[ORP] Fashion baby!
Star Weaver was excited, it was said that something exciting was going on. Some sort of gathering of Legendaries and wouldn't be fun to impress them with his skill of fashion! He wiggled his body in excitement at the thought of designing. His booth had to be perfect and welcoming! It had been a long time since he last participated in something like this.
He hoped his passion shown through, so with his head in the clouds, a dream in his heart, and determination he began to design his area. From what he understood, he was a bit late with setting up but he had to try anyways.
"There." Star Weaver sighed in relief. "Completed and ready for some kins." With vines and light bugs he made up the area as best as he could to draw other kins within. There wasn't much of a bartering system, it was basically trade with food or something shiny... he loved shiny things! "Come one , come all! Dress to impress~" Star Weaver shouted. He knew Legendary weren't too hyped about materialistic things but still it was fun to spice things up a bit~
GAME:
ROLL 4 out of 10 dice for outfit choice! or Option 2 just pick the ones you want to use if rolling isn't your thing~
1. Bugs/Butterflies/pets
2. CC (doesn't have to be on list)
3. CC (doesn't have to be on list)
4. skulls/or bones or both!
5. Twigs/ thorns
6. Webs
7. Fur
8. Leaves/flowers
9. Stones
10. Feathers

Isabella wandered further and found quite the booth, full of beautiful wonderful oddities. Fur! Bones! Cool sticks! Cooler Rocks! Feathers!
"Hmm... get decorated! To IMPRESS?! Well, THAT I can do! Much better than racing! I dont really want to get all sandy and salty-wet." she looked through thoughtfully. Picking out a beautiful bright orange fur fluff, a dangle of small bones, weaving around and through some twigs and placing atop a shiny stone. Frowning, she remade it twice, determined to impress. What if there was a grand prize for the most impressive?
She placed it near her flower crown then frowned, no, no that was TOO much. On her shoulder? No, not that either. How about tied carefully at the top of her tails end? She didnt want it to drag or tangle or rattle TOO much, but perhaps it could be a converstation starter. This place was the best for making new friends, and hopefully... more than friends?
Finally she had it where she wanted it. Pacing back and forth, she made sure it would not fall off or trip her as she swished happily.
Nodding content, she noticed a sign. "For trade? Oh.... hmm... Be right back!" Hiding her decoration, she bounced away and then came back with a dark green and magnolia flowered, flower crown. Putting it proudly on a empty spot she waved and smiled.
"This was a wonderful and fun idea! Thank you! Im Isabella!" she peeked around at the games runner. "Is this a good trade?"

You better Watch Out was so excited about the many realms ! One in particular tickled her fancy. "Aurora North," she sighed and her little tail wiggled in excitement. Word on the wind spoke of the details of said realm. She loved the snow and the idea of crafting magic sounded intriguing; especially, the specialization of protection!
She ought to get ready but first... oh what was this? A booth? Outside of winter market? The details were lovely. Dress? Oh was this kin selling items to where? Maybe she could find something useful for her trip to Aurora North. Hopefully they have some warm or practical things!
Browsing around You better Watch Out came across so many things... but what would be best? "Hmmm," Something in her eye made her wince and blink. What was that? A light? Where was it coming from? Turning fully, she took in a sign and she began to read. "A game? How delightful! Hmmm.. pick up four stones... with markings (numbers) and let them guide you! Oh! Okay, well lets see... I'll choose these four pebbles then~" Hopefully some of the pebbles she picked would be useful. So much for practically! " Bugs, Fur, Fur, and Stones~! What luck, the fur would definitely be needed and the bugs I could eat?" .... "Well we will see about that. And stones! To craft and create weapons with possibly use as a guideline in case I get lost!"
After a bit she took all of her belongings up to a handsome kin that appeared to own? operate? this shop. "Here we are! I have some shiny crystals that I found on a journey that should be good enough for trade! Also some cloth that was much to thin for me to use where I am going!"

Star Weaver noted some interest within the shop. A passerby possibly was the first, they were still currently browsing but another kin that took the form of a deer had successfully picked out some merchandise. "Welcome miss, hope you have found everything you need here! There isn't much stock mind you... not that you need to know that- " He tried to cover up his flustered speech by started the process of the trade and transfer. "Have a lovely day!"

He carefully peeked around the corner of the stand decorated with vines. “Should I go in?” he asked himself. “I don’t really like fashion, with my colorful fur I’ve never been able to find the right one.” He stared into the store with glittering eyes. “Maybe I should..” He entered the stand a little shyly and looked around with huge eyes. From the outside you could already see a small part of the various decorations, but now that he was in the store the concentrated load of fashion rained down on him.
The most colorful stones he had ever seen, flowers of every kind, bones with decorations, bones without decorations, skulls, beetles and feathers. No matter where he looked, he found something new. He thought to himself a heaven on earth.
His first goal was to collect stones, from single-colored stones to colorful and shimmering specimens, everything was there. How can you decide when choosing?! But what do you do when you can't decide? Exactly, you take several with you! As soon as he thought that he allready started to chose stones... and maybe a flower too, just in case? Variety is important. Or wouldn't a bone be the right thing? He thought of the kin he had seen on the street, it had a bone on the side of its ear that shone depending on the sunlight. Yes, it had to be a bone! He quickly scurried to the shelf with the bones, but stopped in front of the selection of beetles... well, maybe he need a beetle too...
With a sigh he looked down at his items and pulled out a row of small river stones. One more shimmering than the other. Smiling, he turned to the owner of the stall and handed him the glittering stones.
In the end he left the shop happy with 3 stones, a flower, a bone and a beetles. The trip was worth it.

Star Weaver was distracted for a minute, the doe in front of him was truly beautiful if he didn't have more of a preference bucks he would... Blush. What was she saying? " Yes, trade is very much appreciated that way we can keep this booth going! I do have some items that I have for trade but not much!" He watched as she came back with a flower crown, it was lovely. "That is perfect! I'm sure someone else could use it!" He cleared his throat bashfully. " Thank you I enjoy fashion so I thought why not give it a try? Nice to meet you Isabella! I am Sterling! I hope you like your purchases and they help you out wherever you may go! Is there a specific realm you are interested in?"

After speaking with the two does, it had gotten kind of quiet. He let them explore the shop a bit more and distracted himself with other things like tidying up and peering out of the opening to see if anyone else was near. Just his luck another customer was heading in and making their way to the opposite side of the does. A buck this time! He eyed the bucks tail and fur, it truly was nothing like he had ever seen. Shaking his head and looking away he continued to count his inventory not wanting to look like a weirdo.Fasti wrote:
A shadow came over his body and Star Weaver looked up. Clearing his throat and getting up, he spoke in a cheerful tone, "Hope you enjoyed looking around and are pleased with your purchases! What do you have for trade?" He watched as the buck showed his spoils. "Glittering stones? How wonderful, thank you! These could make such a lovely necklace~ Thank you for coming and have a nice day!"

What was this? A strange land? With strange, endless roads and trees that never run out??? What is all this??? Design was amazed such a thing existed, not an ounce of fear in her as she ventured deeper and deeper in. She wasn't particularly quiet. The multitude of accessories she wore clinked and clanked as she moved, the sounds bringing her comfort as well as drawing attention.
In otherwords, she didn't have to announce her arrival at the shop. She still did anyway. "Hello hello hello~" She trilled, peeking in to show her face rather than to look for anyone. The vines were perfectly cleaned and dried, and she found so many good raw materials for her own accessories were available here!
Design carefully pored over the available wares, barely paying attention to the other kin present, only managing to hear the part where they had to exchange goods. Ah! How perfect! She could showcase to the owner of this lovely establishment what she was capable of making with the materials present! Yes! Surely no one would say no to a personally crafted necklace she'd spent days perfecting! The vines were dried and curled into shapes before resin was used to trap colorful beads and seeds in specific cage-like structures.
"I believe this will be more than enough for these!" she declared, showing the necklace she arrived in to trade for some tufts of foxbun tail fur, a sugarglider's skull, several flowers, and songbird feathers. "This is an original Cool Starry Bow necklace, not very many kin have one of these."

"Sterling thats a great name! Oh, I was most interested in this one. I wanted to see what everyone had made to maybe get ideas to do things myself, later? I dont know if Im as creative as some of all of you - but Id like to try! Or... at least... Ill forget until the last possible moment... like always!" she laughed happily at herself, aware of her flitting ways.
"Although I did hear there was a Feast? And I would like ooooone more coffee, before its time to return and get some rest. How about you? Was there anything you wanted to tackle?"

“Now don’t push like that” complained Life in Full Color as Like a Prayer and Fastidious pushed him past the other customers to the manager. “You’re just too slow” Fastidious replied. She walked impatiently behind him, but obediently waited until the other Kins had completed their trade before pushing Life in Full Color further forward.
When they arrived in front of the counter, Life in Full Color saw the seller's somewhat confused look and quickly said, "There's nothing wrong with the goods, don't worry." The Kin's face relaxed. Life in Full Color cleared his throat and was about to explain what was going on when Fastidious interrupted him. “We saw him outside. The stones are really awesome, with the fur it's extremely difficult to find fashion items that fit, but they really suit him," she gushed. “Now slow down” Like a Prayer chimed in. “Take a deep breath, you’re going way too fast again, we can’t keep up.” Which earned him a sideways look from Fastidious.
"So what I wanted to say," Life in Full Color began again, "I was just walking down the path when the two of them came towards me, I didn't even notice them at first." "Until Fastidious was halfway through your shopping items." giggled Like a Prayer. “Until she was halfway through my shopping items” Life in Full Color repeated.
“Well, it wasn’t like that at all,” Fastidious chimed in. “I asked very nicely where he got the items from because I thought the colors were so great.” “Of course you can interpret it that way,” Like a Prayer murmured and took a few steps to the side as he saw Fastidious look.
"Anyway, we're here to look around for some stones, if there are matching colors for him, there's definitely something matching for me too," said Fastidious. “I’m just the money mule,” Like a Prayer said and shrugged his shoulders.
The three were led to the area with the stones and Fastidious's eyes began to glow "so many colors." “Make sure you don’t start drooling,” Like a Prayer teased her, but she didn’t even notice that anymore, she was in a shopping frenzy.
She examined stone by stone very carefully, put back the ones she didn't think were so suitable and pressed the ones she liked into the fur of the astonished Life in Full Color "so they don't get lost and I can see straight away whether they fit or fit not“ Shaking his head, he followed her as she worked her way through the selection of stones.
After half an eternity she stopped, turned around and held up the strangest shaped stone she had ever seen. “Look at that, it looks like a duck!” “A duck?! Um, where exactly do you see a duck?" "Don't you see that? Here are the wings, there is the beak and there are the feet” “Ooookay yeah, if you say so…” “You just have no imagination,” she snorted and put the stone back.
With a loud sigh she placed the selected stones in front of the shopkeeper “that was good, that’s exactly what I needed.” “You look exhausted, just go outside, I saw that there is a flower meadow a few meters away, wait there, I'll just pay quickly.” Fastidious didn't have to be told twice and ran out of the shop.
“And she is gone,” smiled Like a Prayer. He quickly scurried back to the stones, looked for the strangely shaped "good thing it's still there" and dropped it next to the other stones. Life in Full Color grinned at him. “What?” Like a Prayer asked him. “Nothing, nothing,” he replied, grinning.
Muttering to himself, Like a Prayer pulled out a collection of shells, small pieces of polished bone and decorated nut shells, then went to collect his stones, but Life in Full Color snatched the strangely shaped stone from him, grinned and said, "No, it doesn't work like that. Wait a minute." He snapped back and when he turned his head forward again, he had hairs from his tail in his mouth. Like a Prayer's look went from confusion to curiosity as Life in Full Color deftly braided a chain from his hair and handed it back to him, complete with pendant. “So, now she can wear it properly.” Like a Prayer looked stunned at the piece of jewelry and stammered “Thank you, thank you very much!” He carefully took the pendant and the two left the stand, after thanking the stall owner, leaving a few strands of hair behind which could definitely still be put to good use there.
