Twig sighs dramatically, "UUUUUUGGHHH fine. I will try to suppress the urge to give those jerks what they deserve and attempt to keep my itchy fingers from taking anything from anyone." She crosses her arms and mutters almost unintelligibly, "Moving an item isn't taking it."
"TWIGALYNN ANNMARIE FORTHALL, stop trying to bend the rules! You know exactly what I meant."
Twig blinks looking like a frightened cat for a moment before giving Kit a flat look. "Yeah yeah fine, but Twigalllwhatever is NOT my name...." She almost adds, 'don't forget you're the one who wanted me to live with you.' to the end of that but thinks better of it. "ANYWAYS I want to see what Uncle Omen has planned!"
Omen straightens up as Kit raises her voice. "Kit is right..." He says before giving her a pat on the head. "Don't go getting yourself in so much trouble That you end up getting grounded." He adds before putting the final touches on his pumpkin.
"When I was your age, we would pick pockets and collect bags full of treats on Liars night. I used to munch on that candy for weeks! The belly aches I would get from all the sweets was a nice change from the belly aches I would normally have from not having enough food to eat." Omen says before patting himself on the stomach. He would then turn and look towards the kitchen. "Speaking of food, do you need any help in there? It is starting to smell pretty good."
Omen stands up and makes his way into the kitchen. As he steps through the door, he tries to hide a beaky grin.
"Well they both start with the letter "C" and end with the letter "N"" Omen replies. "I'm sure they will taste great the kenku adds. "You're doing great."
A moment later he shakes his head and stands up a bit straighter. "So how can I help. I'm certain that you are a better cook than I am, but you tell me what you need and I'll do it."
"Depends... There's pumpkin cooking and milk evaporating on the stove or you can roll out the crust," Kit says as she brushes back a stray lock of hair...leaving a trail of flour in its wake.
Omen continues to smile before moving to the crust. "I'll take care of the crust" He says with a bit of hesitation in his voice. The kenku wants to be helpful but he is very much out of his element. As we grabs a nearby rolling pin and begins sliding back and forth, he pauses for a moment and looks to Kit once more. "When I said you are doing great.. I didn't just mean at cooking our meal... I mean at all of this." He says before turning back to look at the crust in front of him. "I uh.. well I was a lot like Twig when I was younger... and I used to lay around at night wishing I had a mother like. Twig and Telron are lucky to have you." He says before adjusting his tophat and leaving behind flour fingerprints along its brim.
"Anyway" The kenku says before clearing his throat. "Will we get to see your tonight before we head out to the orphanage? Maybe afterwards otherwise? He asks as he changes the subject. "I don't think we will need to be there more than an hour tonight. I think we are just going to discuss the plan for tomorrow and get introduced to the other crewmembers that will be helping with the festivities. we may even be back before dark." He says with a smile.
Twig pointedly does not help with cooking, instead she opts for 'decorating' the home inside and out with scary things....including sculls of dead animals she's come across in the wilderness and maybe on some people's farms. She somehow got a hold of something that looks like spider webs, which she spreads around along with the other various items she's acquired.
However, Telron does his best to help Kit and Omen with cooking. He's likely helped in the kitchen a lot and has become relatively adept at cooking. "Well, we'll have one normal batch of pumpkin seeds!" He says pulling out his own proudly, before dropping the expression and quickly looking at Kit, "Though I'm sure yours will taste just fine!"
Kit gives Omen an incredibly warm smile. For a couple of heartbeats she manages to hold onto the Elvish aloofness that had been beaten into her in her youth, but that's not who she is anymore.
"Thank you," she whispers as she throws her arms around Omen's shoulders and squeezes him tightly. There's a slight sniffle in his ear and when she pulls away she quickly wipes her eyes and cheeks.
"That's fantastic Telron, your mother is going to be so proud of you when she sees!"
She leans in and gives Telron a conspiratorial whisper, "Even if they don't come out, I'll just tell everyone that it's an old Elvish recipe. Then they won't complain out of fear of being rude. Unless we serve them to Elves. Then we say it's a Dwarvish recipe and they'll think they're supposed to be terrible."
"Good job on the decorations, Twig,"Kit calls out, happy to be able to 'catch her' doing something good.
The sudden yell of Kit to Twig made Thar, literally crush his pumpkin and turn it into a mess of pulp and pumpkin crust. Cleaning his face, he just smiles and takes the second pumpkin he acquired forseeing that something like that could happen, and started over his try to do the scariest face of all.
When he finish he approaches the kitchen trying not to fill too much space, and surprisingly succeeding, and ask.
"Yes, please,"Kit says as she takes the pumpkin out of the oven.
"There's a list of ingredients on the counter. Can you start mixing the spices into this so I can make sure the milk doesn't scald? Thanks, you're a dear!"
Omen nods with a grin when his bugbear friend enters the room. When Thar takes over working the spices, Omen reaches over and pulls a few pieces of pumpkin out of the hair covering his arms. "Look's like you brought a few extra ingrediants with you." he says with a smile before tossing the small bits of hair covered pumpkin in the trash.
OOC: I am going to skip ahead after the meal unless you all want to RP it. Totally fine either way.
After finshing his mean, Omen helps to clear his spot at the table and clean up any dirty dishes. Once that was complete he would adjust his hat and collect his gear. "Alright, I suppose we shouldn't keep lady Zephyr waiting. We should be able to return before dark if we hurry." The kenku says with a smile. "Thar are you staying at my place tonight or sleeping here with Kit when we get back?" He adds as he heads towards the door. "With the addition of the little ones, it would probably be best if you stayed with me. i've got a spare room if your interested... no need to have to stay at the inn." The kenku says with a nod before stepping out into the street.
As the group heads out the door, Kit hangs back and quickly takes Twig's hand before she can make her way out the door. After bending a knee to look the young woman in the eyes, she motions for Telron to come over to her as well. "I'm going to stay here and keep getting the decorating the house for Liars Night. Plus, I would like to surprise Eli with the meal we made if she manages to get off work early." He says with a gentle smile. The smile fades though as a serious expression spreads across her face. "BE. GOOD." He says sternly. "Listen to Omen and Thar and STAY OUT OF TROUBLE" She locks eyes with Twig and waits for acknowledgment before releasing her hand and giving her a pat on the head. "Have fun... Don't be out too late!" She shouts while giving a small wave. Omen looks to Kit and tips his hat. "Don't worry Kit, fun uncle Omen is on the case." he adds with a playful wink before heading out into the street.
Omen leads the way through the crowded streets as the sun begins to hang lower in the sky. Kids help their parents to decorate homes while businesses work to display their Liar's Night merchandise. The smells of freshly baked sweets and the sounds of giggling children fill the air as they make their way through the streets.
"When I was younger, I used to practice picking pockets from sun up to sun down during Liar's Night." Omen says to Thar before looking back and nodding to the children. "It's the one night that it's MOSTLY OK to do it... And so long as you wear your costume and keep your jack-o-lantern lit... you won't get in trouble for it."
Before long the group make their way to a beautifully decorated Iron gate. Orange, purple, and green streamers weave through the bars with freshly carved pumpkins adorning the tops of the fence posts. Above the open gate stands a sign spelling out "Zephyr's Home for Children" with a banner reading "Lady Zephyr's Liar's Night Celebration!".
Beyond the gates you see a courtyard area filled with people as they construct various tents and stalls. Some of the tents contain various carnival games while others contain seating for dining or enjoying music. Through the courtyard you see a large stone building that you know to be the Orphanage. Parked near the steps leading up to the doors of the orphanage are a few carriages weighed down with supplies and materials for the coming celebration.
As you take in the organized chaos in front of you, Omen's eyes light up as a beautiful air genasi steps out of one of the carriages and locks eyes with the Kenku. The woman has pale skin and long platinum hair that drifts behind her as though being blown by a constant light breeze. She wares an emerald green dress that extends to the ground and if you didn't know better, you would assume she was floating as she moved gracefully through the crowd. "Ah! Omen Blacktalon.... Nice to see you again." he gives a gentle smile to Omen before looking up towards the bugbear and down towards the children. "So where is the team you promised to bring... we have much to discuss before tomorrow nights festivities."She says with a smile as she looks back towards the kenku.
"Well Lady Zephyr, you are looking at them." Omen replies before taking off his tophat and holding it in his hands. "Thar is much sneakier than he looks, and no one blends in better then children at a festival." The kenku says while motioning towards Twig and Telron. "We will have no problem blending in with the crowed and ensuring that everything goes smoothly tomorrow." he adds with a smile. "Please team... introduce yourselves to Lady Zephyr." Omen says as he looks to the group.
"I do keep an eye on my coin purse then.. "he winks to Omen when he speaks that today pickpocketing is almost allowed.
Thar looks around with a mix of curiosity and awkwardness. He is not comfortable around crowds and never been in a huge city like Baldur's Gate, but all and all he is enjoying the mood of the festivity. When they reach the orphanage grounds he looks towards the children that are helping getting all ready for the festivities. He cannot help but feel a little bit sorry for them. He was raised by his parents, but also by all the clan, they were like a great family. If something happens to ones parents, the rest of the clan takes care of the children as if they were their own, so this whole situation is extremely alien for him. But seeing that the children are smiling and taking part of the preparations he relax a little bit and tries to go with it, nothing that he could really do about it to be honest, except be sure that the kids had their celebration. He looks at Omen, childhood had to been hard for his friend.
When introduced to Lady Zephir he bows "Welmet Lady Zephir. I am Thar and I am grateful for your kind invitation to join your party. I will keep an eye out of trouble so everything goes fine and the kids can enjoy themselves... "
Twig and Telron wave goodby to kit as they head out with Omen and Thar. Twig nods dismissively as Kit tells them to stay out of trouble, then grins at Omen when he basically tells her he doesn't care if she steals from people...so long as it's candy...but ya know, who cares about that part... Telron sighs.
Once they arrive at the destination, Twig grins mischievously up at the strange woman with the floating hair. "I blend in anywhere."She giggles. "I'm Twig by the way! At your service."She gives a mock bow.
Telron dips his head "I'm Telron. I'll help as best I can."
"So nice to meet you Thar, Twig, and Telron"The air genasi says with a gentle smile. "If Omen wanted you to join his team then I am sure you will perform your duties without fail." She says before reaching her hand into her hand into a small pocket sewn into the side of her emerald green dress. A moment later, she pulls out a small handful of slightly glowing candies. The candies are wrapped in a thin clear wrapper and are colored in different ways. "Here... help yourselves to some Liar's Night treats. Consider it a taste of what is to come tomorrow." She says with a nod as she extends her hand towards the two children. The candies in the palm of her hand glow either Red, Orange, Purple, yellow, White, or black and is roughly the size of a thick copper coin. "I helped to make these myself. I think it will help to make the festivities this year even more memorable. The poor children of Waterdeep deserve a night to remember." She says before reaching her other hand into a different pocket and pulling out a few blue colored candies. These candies look just as beautiful as the other colored ones and she extends that hand towards Omen and Thar. "I made these to help with those that will be watching over the festivities tomorrow night. I think you will find them helpful if trouble was to present itself." she says with a gentle grin.
OOC: there are roughly 4 red candies, 2 orange candies, 1 purple candy, 2 yellow candies, one white candy, and 2 black candies in her hand she extends towards the children. There are 4 blue candies in the hand she extends towards Omen and Thar. Let me know which colored candies you take and if you eat any of them
While Lady Zephyr allows you to each take as many candies as you wish, a large burly orc stomps towards the elegant air genasi. She has a long braid running from the top of her head down the middle of her back and is wearing a set of robes that fail to conceal her muscular frame. A set of small tusks protrude from her lower jaw as she makes her way towards the group. "Lady Zephyr. Who are these people? Have you hired even MORE workers for the festivities? How am I supposed to manage tomorrows events if I don't even know who I am managing." She growls with frustration. The orc appears to be very well kept and although her apparel is simple, you can tell that her appearance is meticulously maintained.
The smile on Lady Zephyrs face fades to reveal a hint of frustration herself. "This is Omen, Thar, Twig, and Telron. The were hired to walk through the crowds tomorrow night to ensure that everything goes according to plan. I know you have reached out to the city watch to ensure that there will be plenty of guards available... but I thought additional security couldn't hurt." She adds with a smile as she looks back towards the group.
(Follow-up question, does Twig have a middle and last name? I might need it for angry mother purposes😁)
"TWIGALYNN ANNMARIE FORTHALL, stop trying to bend the rules! You know exactly what I meant."
Twig blinks looking like a frightened cat for a moment before giving Kit a flat look. "Yeah yeah fine, but Twigalllwhatever is NOT my name...." She almost adds, 'don't forget you're the one who wanted me to live with you.' to the end of that but thinks better of it. "ANYWAYS I want to see what Uncle Omen has planned!"
Telron giggles quietly, though it ceases abruptly when Twig glares at him.
Omen straightens up as Kit raises her voice. "Kit is right..." He says before giving her a pat on the head. "Don't go getting yourself in so much trouble That you end up getting grounded." He adds before putting the final touches on his pumpkin.
"When I was your age, we would pick pockets and collect bags full of treats on Liars night. I used to munch on that candy for weeks!

He would then turn and look towards the kitchen. "Speaking of food, do you need any help in there? It is starting to smell pretty good."
"No, no, everything is under control..."
There's a loud crash followed by some Sylvan words that are best left untranslated.
"Yes...actually, some help would be wonderful."
As she shoves a baking sheet of seasoned pumpkin seeds into the oven she leans over and whispers to Omen.
"Sooo... How similar are cinnamon and cumin?"
Omen stands up and makes his way into the kitchen. As he steps through the door, he tries to hide a beaky grin.
"Well they both start with the letter "C" and end with the letter "N"" Omen replies. "I'm sure they will taste great the kenku adds. "You're doing great."

PbP Character: A few ;)

Twig jumps up from wherever she'd been when Omen brings up Lady Zephyr. "FINALLY! LET'S GOOOO!"
Telron puts his (and Twigs) dishes away before grabbing a coat. "I'm ready when you all are."
Thar follows Kits recipe and to everyone's surprise, except himself, he seems to be a decent cook.
"You have to learn how to proper prepare your meals in the wild..." he says with a wink when they try the food.
"Thanks Omen I will stay with you " he replies to his offer.
"Ready to go!!" he says following the kids enthusiasm
