Autumnleaf curtsies, grinning wide. "Exactly what I plan to do, good sir Plum. I imagine a waltz through your lovely kingdom will leave my companions anything but glum."

 “In the spirit of playing along,” Speedwell says, “I will be called Panache.”

"'Jellybean Starfish' you say? Such a strange mixture of different things!"  Inif lets out an awkward guffaw and smiles sheepishly, abashed as the demonstrativeness.  Inif bows to Jeremy Plum and starts exploring his new stature.

"They say for their proportion, insects are hundreds of times stronger than humanoids.  If my ki remains constant, how powerful is it's manifestation to a smaller point?"  Inif looks around (20) for something to test his hypothesis.  

With a clear grin on his face, Jeremy says, "I'm so glad you're happy with your names. Please follow me into the kingdom!" 

Inif, attempting to test his strength, finds that it seems no different to what he's used to, meaning it is proportionally the same (smaller beings = less strength), and not insect-ly the same..

((I'd also like to hear from @rock on how Giovani adopts (or doesn't) his pixie name, but in the spirit of keeping the game moving I'll post on. Since this isn't time sensitive @rock can just include this when he posts))

Entering the kingdom you see a dozen pixies floating around different areas, all happy to talk with outsiders. There are also a number of smaller attractions in here to interact with:

• One character at a time can ride Pinecone, an excitable pug that listens only to pixies.
• The kingdom’s centerpiece is a pixie palace made entirely of old cocoon husks beautifully woven together.
• Characters can dine on cucamelon sandwiches and thimbleberry tarts inside one of the pixie cottages.
• Characters can ride the wheel, which is powered by a talkative hamster named Biscuit.

What would you like to do?

Speedwell would initially gravitate towards the pug. “Pinecone, is it? I guess for now, you can call me Panache,” he says to the dog. Then to one of the pixie attendants, he says, “I’d like to ride, if I can.”

Inif proceeds to the pixie palace in pursuit of a parley with prominent pixies.

Autumnleaf flutters off to take a leisurely turn on the wheel and enjoy some discourse with Biscuit.

Giovani heads for the cottage and food! 

"Panache! What a fun name!" the pixie near Pineapple says as she helps you on your mount. "So! How are you enjoying the carnival? There is so much to see!"

In the Palace there are a couple of pixies dancing together who happily greet Jellybean Starfish and ask what interesting things you've seen so far this evening.

Biscuit tells Autmnleaf to be careful on the wheel as people get flung off all the time, but then is just super excited to talk with someone who knows the carnival well.

Giovani enters the cottage and is immediately given a plate on which he can pile as much as he wants, as the pixies around ask what his favorite types of foods are.

What things would you like to talk with the pixies (or Biscuit) about?

“I want food that will make me happy. What makes you happy? Or Witch and Light happy? Maybe I just want to feel special. Or full.” Giovani takes a few dancing steps around the table and eats bits and bites along the way

"Panache! What a fun name!" the pixie near Pineapple says as she helps you on your mount. "So! How are you enjoying the carnival? There is so much to see!"

What things would you like to talk with the pixies (or Biscuit) about?

"I am, enjoying it quite a bit, actually," Speedwell says. "I am very curious about the owners of the carnival, though. Do you know anything about them?" Speedwell is trying to be very casual about asking.

Speedwell's attempt at casual conversation is more like words interrupted by snickers and giggles as he is having a hard time containing his amusement at how tiny he is right now and how very big the rest of the world looks from this vantage point. 

"A bit of caution or a flung fairy I'd fairly be but flight makes flinging a flight of fancy for a fae like me, dear Biscuit, but your warning I'll take to heart. It's been so long, near a decade gone, since last I enjoyed the revels of this place, so tell me if it suits you, do you well enjoy your part?" Autumnleaf settles on the wheel as she asks, fairly vibrating with anticipation and excitement.

Inif greets the pixies, "Greetings, I am Jellyfish Starbean... ah, I mean Jellybean Starfish.  I am a traveler and sage of the planes, seeking wisdom through balance and harmony.  I have only thus seen the Lost and Found and heard of other things that go missing here at the carnival...  I rode a magnificent dragonfly and aided in the rescue of a lady dwarf..."

Inif pauses and keys in on his conversationists' vitals to read their response "And I met an interesting kenku by the name of Kettlesteam.  Is he well known by your kind?  How about the Hourglass coven?"

To Giovani: "We're just happy when you all are! Mr. Witch is always watching his watch, but Mr. Light is happy when everyone else is happy! And today... today the carnival is a bit more happy than average! It's a good day so far!"

To Panache: "I only know that they're friends from a long time ago! They're almost always together. Mr. Witch is always carrying a stopwatch, and Mr. Light has a weather vane. I don't think I've ever seen either without their toys!"

To Autumnleaf: "It is such a fun place to work isn't it! I'm sure you miss it! Did you know that Candlefoot the mime and Palasha the mermaid are in love?! On top of that, Candlefoot’s lost his voice. Is that part of his act?”

To Jellybean: "A Kenku! She's a troublemaker! The carnival is watching out for her! Why would anyone want to cause trouble here? I hear she's using magic to disguise herself!"

Let me know what more you'd like to ask, or if you're ready to play a game~

“Interesting,” Speedwell says in a more upbeat tone than he was expecting to hear from his own voice. 

Then, Speedwell prepares himself for whatever game is being presented. 

Autumnleaf gasps appropriately, gossiping gaily with Biscuit for a bit longer about the romantic endeavors of Candlefoot and Palasha, then readies herself for her turn on the wheel.

Giovani stuffs himself full of pixie food

Inif replies  "And what trouble has the kenku made?  I got the impression she was looking to root out trouble related to the Hourglass coven."

To Jellybean, the pixie replies, "You've seen her? What was she doing? I don't know why she's causing trouble, or anything about that Hourglass whatever. We just know she's running around the carnival."

After talking and playing in the kingdom for a bit, two pixies come to you all as a group and introduce themselves as Honeymint and Starbug. They say, "Since there's a whole group of you shall we play a game?" with a big grin, clearly excited. "Let's try a simple game of hide-and-seek! You can pretend that you are pixies and try to blend in around the Kingdom." He then also gives you a hint that there are a few places you might be able to hide from the pixie searchers.

• Biscuit’s Wheel. This wooden wheel has eight wicker carriages. Biscuit, the hamster who trundles around inside the contraption that turns the wheel, is very talkative. 
• Flower Bed. This area is home to several talking wildflowers. They’re rather conceited and bicker over which of them has the silkiest petals and the finest aroma. 
• Heron’s Nest. An awakened heron named Beatrice, who enjoys talking about the weather, roosts in a clump of long grasses.
• Lily Pond. The overgrown lily plants might provide a nice place to hide, though the talking frogs in the area create quite a ruckus trying to catch the dragonflies flying overhead.

They then say, "We'll give you a few minutes to blend in! Go have fun!"

Giovani attempts to hide in the flower bed, stroking the flower petals and sniffing the scent of their pollen, and making a very dramatic face of distaste anytime they get noisy, even going so far as to tell the other wildflowers in his superior, aloof manner: “Oh, how I abhor a noisy daisy. I much prefer the quiet types, I could just drape myself in their petals and enjoy all the finery of them on my senses without so much… racket.”
