Boon Requests

[fairyfoes]

Hey, guys! Boon Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people to note down the number one item on their wishlist again! Only the fairies or imps from YOUR faction will be turning up, as usual, but they will be noting down all the ways you helped heal or slay the Ainsels and feral imps ... and where. This is echoed in the C&P box below for you to fill in and will tie into next month's event in a very exciting way!

Wherever Shard-holder 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 so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 23rd June (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 second is due to be held on the 23rd too, which the fairies and imps will also be informing people. Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) that will qualify for a boon.

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> Use as many links as you need! <b>NUMBER OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS:</b> A quick overview of how many fairies were healed and imps were slain. You can give a general number and round it up! <b>LOCATION OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS:</b> Whereabouts were you/they when they went back to normal? This will tie into next month's event! <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.

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: Waver Velvet
CANON: Fate/zero
FACTION: Unseelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1 Link #2
NUMBER OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS: About half a dozen faeries were cured, and imps were carried out of the castle and released into the wild, rather than slain.
LOCATION OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS: The library
BOON REQUEST: Waver would appreciate some good chemistry equipment (especially glassware), and some safety gear. He's starting to worry about not having proper safety glasses on while working, all things considered.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: If they need to be made, let me know. I'm also very willing to hunt down historical gear that would fulfill this request.

BOON APPROVED, slightly altered!

Waver will receive a note on the 23rd with directions down into the depths of the castle. There, he will find a fully-stocked medieval apothecary has been assigned to him and his name engraved on the door. If you'd like to handwave what some of the ingredients are (magical or poisonous, healing etc) that's absolutely fine.

Thank you.

pre-emptive apologies for any and all explosions that come out of that room.
