The Exploits of Misfit Company

"Whenever!" she smiled. "I just don't this party to end!"

The goliath gives a soft smile down to Kasha, extending a hand to give her a pat on the head, however he stops himself midway, retracting his arm quickly under his cloak again. He clears his throat then moves on to suggest, "Hm... Maybe you all should have a sleepover then?"

Kasha gasped so loud and long at such a great idea she turned pale and passed out like a dead log for firewood on the floor.

Yvan visibly pales when Kasha passes out due to his suggestion. His chest tightens and twists in fear, but this was Kasha, he had to reassure himself, surely she was just joking with him! “M-maybe not...” He stammers, moving himself to kneel beside the Druid to tentatively poke her cheek to see if that would wake her up.

She’d look up to Yvan. Alys’ face and ears honestly couldn’t get any pinker. She hadn’t meant to hold it up to show everyone, but it felt good to hear their feedback.

Alys was thankful for Kasha’s dramatics, it helped distract her. A smile will pull across her cheeks when she’d watch Kasha ‘faint’ in excitement. She’d look down to their poor concerned gentle giant kneeling next to their druid with concerns of her own. She never stopped eyeing the bandages.

The elf would tiptoe closer next to Yvan and crouch beside him. “Here, I know just the fix.” Her eyes would search for his to offer a soft reassuring smile before gently taking his bandaged hands in her own. Alys would guide them to Kasha’s sides instead. And with a wink, he’d feel Alys’ warmth spread through his hands like a soft comforting hug. She’d then moves his hands with hers to have him tickle Kasha with her, hoping to make her burst out with laughter to bring a smile to his face.

Deception: 20

While the redirection of attention worked, Kasha didn't think one, much less TWO, people would engage in such an act as tickling her. She didn't expect it, and jerked involuntarily at the fingers touching her - she burst into laughter for a few moments and snorted once loudly in front of everyone, which caused her to cover her mouth in shock, assume a fetal position on the floor from the fright, and her eyes went wide as dinner plates looking up and whoever was there at the moment. Since Yvan and Alys were the closest to her she quickly pulled a move to "change the subject". She dual head locked both of them, so she could pull herself up and gave each one a loud kiss on the cheek. 

The goliath is unable to stop himself from going stiff when Alys crouches beside him, his nerves now beginning to bubble again at the closeness. He wanted to shuffle away, to get more space between them to ease himself, but he is unable to when his gaze meets with hers. His face heats up, and breath gets caught in his throat when he feels her hands on his, gentle in their touch, slowly guiding him to where Kasha was weakest. His eyes were on their hands now, noting how small hers were compared to his, how soft they looked, and actually realizing the fresh manicure painted on her nails. He felt the design, while it may have been simple to others, suited her well. Then he felt the warmth, the comfort from her healing wash over him like a wave lapping at the shore, a phantom of an embrace he so longed for but believed he didn't deserve.

Yvan hadn't noticed that she got him to tickle Kasha's sides until he heard boisterous laughter erupt from the druid, startling him from his thoughts. His shoulders lax, an endearing smile coming across his features finally, however it is quickly gone with a look of surprise at Kasha's sudden affections. "I..." I don't deserve this. With that thought passing his mind, he feels his chest tighten, but he tries his best to not let it show on his face. "I-I'm glad you're okay."

"..and..and my pink bunny slippers and my Greetings Feline bathrobe! Oh! Oh! And my strawberry bubble soap! A- No. Wait. I don't have any of that. WOOP! Almost forgot my PJs!" Kasha was rambling on about the sleepover. She startled, looking at Yvan. "Why is your face so red?"

Alys couldn’t help but let out a delighted laugh when Kasha would let out one of her endearing snorts in her fits of laughter. Though, it was the elf’s turn to gasp and for her eyes to go as wide as dinner plates when Kasha would ‘counter attack’ with a headlock and yet another kiss on the cheek. With the druid catching her by surprise and moving with such momentum, Alys would fumble her balance bumping against Yvan, catching herself before she fell back onto her butt. She’d giggle at Kasha’s immediate bounce back, already naming off all the things she wanted to bring to the sleep over. Alys would look to Yvan with a genuine smile and a tilt of her head, “I think she’s just fine.” The elf’s ears would twitch at the sound of strawberry bubble soap. She loved fruity scents, especially strawberries! Mmm

 Yvan's face only deepened in color when Kasha had pointed it out, his neck and ears now coloring as a result. He averts his gaze from her as his hands dart back underneath his cloak, away from Alys'. "N-nothing. You're just... really close." He stammers out. "W-we should go, and, uh, get you guys set up for that sleepover." 

"Yes. Is there something we should purchase for the sleepover? Should we arrange the room in a way that would be good for the four of us?"

Alys’ expression will soften. Perhaps it’s my turn to be the rock... the elf’s soft smile wouldn’t waver. She’ll stand up and take a few steps closer to Vastra to provide Yvan space so she wasn’t so close.

”Munchies!” She’ll blurt in response to Vastra. 

Then her eyes will fall on Stella, “Oh! Stella.” She’d grin apologetically. “I did have a couple things I wanted to ask help with...” Her cheeks will redden. “If it’s not too late I’d love for you to do my hair like you offered... I’d like that. I can do Kasha’s and you can do mine! And... umm... my make up?” She’d start to whisper as she’d move closer to Stella. “And...”  Alys would lean to her ear and hold her hand up to shield her mouth from the others. 

"...and food, and drink, and those big bags you sleep in on the floor, and oh! Space em out so we're close together..and pillows! Yeah! Plenty of snacks, and.." This went on while everyone was talking, as if it was Kasha's lifelong dream to have a sleepover. It didn't matter if people were paying attention to her or not, she just kept talking.

"Yes and yes." Stella grins and switches to a whisper. "And yes and yes." She grabs Alys's hand and pulls her over towards the tailors. "Hey, I have two more things to add to our order." She proceeds to arrange for Alys's bag to be disguised as requested, and for matching corsages and boutineers for the group.

The tailor informs you that disguising Alys' bag of holding would be a task for a seller of arcane goods like Master Zeppeli and that the corsages and boutineers is a task for a florist.

Stella grins at Alys. "Looks like we've got a couple side trips to make."

30 minutes and 50 gold later, Master Zeppeli enchants Alys' Bag of Holding to constantly look like a cute clutch. For about 20 gold pieces, you're able to purchase a set of corsages and boutineers for the party. "Well ladies, is it time to go do our sleepover?" 

Kasha quivers like she's about to implode. 

Stella grins. "Yeah, I think so."

Vastra claps her hands together. "Excellent! Then let's be going. We have so much to do before the night is over." She says excitedly.
