SEPTEMBER BOON REQUESTS

[fairyfoes]

A little late again, but it's boon time! Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people from their respective factions to note down the number one item on their wishlist again!





Wherever Shardbearer characters are in the Drabwurld, at some point today they will be approached by fairies or imps, depending on their alignment, bearing a piece of parchment and a quill. They will urge your character to write down a request for an item, power or favour from their monarchs in exchange for fighting or supporting their faction and they will take it away through a fairy-ring when it is written. There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:

1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"

2) "You may not request another's true love or devotion!"

3) "Ask not for a road home or the loved ones whence you came!"

Essentially, the OOC boundaries relayed through IC means to your character are to avoid game-breaking demands being made. They will be approved, altered or denied here until 24th SEPTEMBER (00:01am LONDON GMT) so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 25th (you can pick any time for them to be delivered/show up) no matter where they are there is no fuss, no muss! The royal audiences are bi-monthly and the third is due to be held in October, which the fairies and imps will also be informing people.

This month, everybody who managed to find a feather of any kind gets a boon! Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) that will show your character getting involved in the event this month. Simply C&P the below into your comment:



<b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>FACTION:</b> <b>RELEVANT THREAD(S):</b> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #1</a> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #2</a> Please make sure to link to anything that indicates your character found a feather! <b><u>BOON REQUEST</u>:</b> <b>POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS:</b> If you think your boon is a little too awkward, put some suggestions here for how we might alter it and still manage to grant the request. Bear in mind that if you opt for a WILDCARD, it could be COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED: for example, you could just as soon end up with an elephant as a packet of peanuts. Otherwise, make sure to mention something you think your character might want!



If your character doesn't want to request a boon they may simply wave away the fairies/imps. It is not possible to "save up" Boon Requests for later events, so make sure to get yours in if you want one!

CHARACTER NAME: Cassie Sandsmark
CANON: Young Justice
FACTION: Seelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1
BOON REQUEST: Whichever of these you guys think is better!

♦ After getting a taste of earth manipulation or "earthbending" from her feather ordeal Cassie will ask if it's possible for her to be able to learn it here in Draubworld. I'd really love if she got something similar in application to challenge her (to have to get used to fighting with something other than her body and brute strength, but she's not really a SPELLS type of person either.)

♦ Some enchanted clothing to replace her stealth tech, maybe with some magical enhancement to let her mask her presence from an individual or group? Something like that, anyway!

POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: Whatever you see fit! If neither of those boon requests work I'm game for a WILDCARD scenario.

[extramural]

Will his Maidenfish be teleported with him? Also, would he be able to find any information on the crown in the library?

CHARACTER NAME: Alice Liddell
CANON: American McGee's Alice
FACTION: Unseelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1 Link #2
BOON REQUEST: the knightmare hobby horse
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: I... have no idea. But if you think this boring, you're welcome to change it. I love your random boons.

CHARACTER NAME: Minho
CANON: The Maze Runner
FACTION: Unseelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1 There's one feather mentioned (+ the one that Thomas ate, laugh cries)
BOON REQUEST: Minho's answer was probably something like "I don't know, something less annoying than you" to be honest. By which I mean wildcard some mythical animal companion.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: Anything that would be hardy for travel and good for tracking is hella, tbh, but basically go to town.

[fairyfoes]

Yes, they will!

And, please PM us to a link of his IC research, if indeed he does look!

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

He'll receive a strange owl medallion which, when he gives it to another to wear, will allow him not just to see better through another's eyes, but also now and then (with appropriate permissions) to glimpse into the future or past of that person.

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED: RACHEL

She will be gifted a golden bow and a single golden-tipped arrow... which will always return to her after being fired!

BOON APPROVED: TERESA

She will get a standard telepathy power, and be able to telepathically communicate with whomever she chooses!

[fairyfoes]

NAH, we thought we'd start giving ANTI-BOONS!

.... aha, you're totally right. Sorry, Tauriel! We meant now.

[fairyfoes]

BOON ALTERED

Korra will receive a small white bone ring which, when buried under the soil, will spring a new Seelie-only fairy ring.

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED: ERIK

Erik will be given a set of red metal bracers; when wearing them, he can manipulate fire as well as metal.


BOON APPROVED: HERMIONE
Hermione will be given a tome which will allow her to learn how to magically enchant items as communication devices able to display text and video, either live or pre-recorded!

The limitations:
- the object must have a smooth, glossy surface on which to display video
- these are able to be magically 'hijacked' unless she investigates security measures!

[brainiest]

If Hermione were to ask the faeries about security measures would they point her in the right direction? Or will it be something she'll have to discover through digging in the libraries? (She's with Legolas right now so that's a priority for her!)

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

Mako will receive his uniform, boots and all, and an ivory ring which will allow him to telepathically communicate with his babbins.

[fairyfoes]

No, that's a-ok!

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

He'll receive the Triforce of Wisdom, which he'll be able to use once a month to gain uncanny (and unerringly correct) insights about people, events, and places. Simple PM the mod team with a link to its IC use!

[fairyfoes]

She'll have to do digging on her own! Most of the fairy advice would be quite unhelpful. (They'll suggest loud sirens)

[fairyfoes]

BOON ALTERED

Gale will receive a superlight folding crossbow designed for magically-enhanced range and one bolt, which will always magically return to him once it's fired!

[brainiest]

... You're lucky she thinks you're all cute (thank youuu!!)

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

An offer of apprenticeship will be made to him by one of the most notable dwarven masters in Troichean Beinn!

[fairyfoes]

BOON ALTERED

He will instead receive a heavy metal seal of the crown, allowing him to requisition forces or other aid in Seelie-allied or controlled areas, and to teleport within Glaschu.

Inside will be a brief note from Solais, asking if he would be willing to work (together with other soldiers) toward training raw shardbearers into a cohesive and competent force.

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

The fairies will come up in a rush to take a cast of his pup's pawprint, which they'll then fetch away to smiths. Within a week they will return with a small pendant pressed into the impression of it's paw.

When wearing it, he'll be able to communicate telepathically with his pup.

But he will also receive a brief note from Solais, asking if he would be willing to work (together with other shardbearers) toward training raw shardbearers into a cohesive and competent force.

[fairyfoes]

BOON ALTERED

News of Minho's hand in the rather botched delivery of Raonil has reached Caer Scima! Instead he'll receive a brief note which is an offer to redeem himself in the eyes of his court, and a small silver token which will allow him to teleport anywhere on the map for 30 days.

[fairyfoes]

BOON APPROVED

He'll get another pair of converses, and the ability to teleport to areas he has already been to!

[fairyfoes]

BE CREATIVE! He could just go off to accomplish a symbolic mission, like thieving some small token thing from Caer Glaem to present to his queen, could get a shard, come back with a hostage... you name it! If you'd like to plot something in-depth, feel free to PM the mod team at your convenience!

[knightscode]

He'd agree! He ran a training session before, he'd be happy to run one again regularly :)

ALSO NOW YOU HAVE TO TELL ME all about lady puppy can I make it up or is there a thing for her already!

[fairyfoes]

:) Wonderful! John Grimm was the other Seelie soldier who received an invitation! These would all be done in Caer Glaem proper~

Little lady puppy is entirely up to you!
