Opening your eyes is difficult. Everything feels fuzzy and unreal. There's a blurry haze at the edge of your vision, constantly reminding you that something is Not Quite Right.
The air smells vaguely of barley. The ground is covered in plush green grass, dotted with an uncountable number of clovers. Looking closer, you find that each and every clover you see is a four leaf clover, at minimum. Some are five, six, ten - how can that clover have that many leaves?!
The grass goes on for as long as the eye can see, over rolling hills and deep into the city up ahead. Emerald towers rise up into the air, each of them backdropped by a rainbow. In fact, the entire sky is littered with rainbows. It's almost hard to look at.
You look down at yourself instead. You're dressed in a rather smart looking little suit, but it's all green, and smaller than you remember your body being. You feel a top hat on your head, and - since when did you begin smoking pipes?
It's hard to say when you realize it, but the moment eventually comes when you have to face facts.
You are a leprechaun.
The question is, why?
The OOC
You and your group are somehow transported into the world of St. Patrick's Town. What's worse, you seem to have been transformed yourself - you are a denizen of the world! You're wearing their clothes. Claws, tails, extra eyes, special powers and abilities - everything seems to be missing. The only things that are still you are your colors - hair, eyes, skin. Your job is to explore, without raising suspicion. Whether or not you remain safe during your time in St. Patrick's Town lies solely on how good you are at fooling the real leprechauns while still researching your surroundings.
In every post you make, roll 1d10. This is your stealth roll. Continue to interact with your fellow researchers as you explore the world, but if you roll a 10, quote Blade Kuroda because you've attracted some trouble.

Why were there so many bloody rainbows? It was almost blinding, and the fog around his eyes had been disorienting enough. What in Jack's name had the professor given him? This was wrong, all wrong. For one, he was suddenly outside and for another he was surrounded by entirely tacky...
Clovers...
s**t.
His suit was green. He was somehow even shorter. He was surrounded by rainbows and clovers (and balloons). Everything was green and while the smells were familiar enough, everything else about this was very much not.
Know thine enemy.
No!
Know thine enemy.
"No!"
He needed to keep his cool but they had made him into the enemy.
Blade Kuroda
Cearney panic at being the wrong type of leprechaun seems to be drawing attention...
Sin gave a faint moan and slowly forced her eyes open only to be assaulted by the greenery of everything. She closed her eyes again and murmured softly.
"Om..."
Then her eyes flew open and she jerked up, no, no, no...she brought her hands up and was pleased to see her usual lovely violet skin not that pale cream flesh tone of her dreams...or nightmares. Her nose was assaulted by a yeasty almost bread like scent and there was still so much green. She looked down and noticed her black dress was gone replaced by a green that rather clashed with her natural coloring. She was...smaller...she gasped and felt her body and then up to a...a hat? She puffed and found that a small ring of smoke obscured her vision.
Her hand flew up to grab at her, what? No not hers...she didn't smoke a pipe! "Sweet Jack..." She gasped and stood up looking over and realizing there was another thing like her...no wait. She blinked, that was one of her classmates and he appeared to be freaking out even more than she was.
Sin hurried over to Ceanery and held up her hands cringing at how short she was.
"Calm down, shh, we don't know anything about this place or it's inhabitants and if you just try and blend in maybe we can find the door back to where we belong."
Of course the boil was screaming NO! Loudly enough that they probably couldn't play it cool and her skin was...so obviously not in matching the green theme. Safe candy, tempered by time her sweet a**, she should have known better than to ever trust another holiday and it's inferior FEARless products!

Nearby, one of the actual leprechauns of the land was lounging under a tree. He scratched his beard, then turned towards Cearney as he suddenly made an outburst. Raising a brow, he leaned forth and took his pipe out of his mouth.
"No? What ye goin' 'no' 'bout?"

Not knowing anything about the other leprechaun other than the fact she had to be from Halloween like him, he shot a glare.
"Considering I'm a leprechaun I know plenty enough about--"
Aww Jack! One was coming up to him. Couldn't they leave well enough alone and mind their own business? Stupid nosy leprachauns. They were a mockery! A mockery he knew he had to come up with some answer for before he was subjected to whatever they considered to be vicious. It probably had something to do with the sextuplet rainbow in the sky.
Considering that Cearney was from an Irish-based fear with a thorough Gaelic knowledge, he affected the accent used by the other fairly well. Quickly, he felt around his pockets, just to make sure his ruse would work...
"I'm havin' a wee bit of trouble findin' my gold coin..."
A wee bit... Ugh.

The leprechaun puffed at his pipe for a moment in thought. Though, a look of shock soon overtook him.
"Ye lost yer gold ye say? Now that's too bad! Do ye know when ye last saw it? Maybe ye left it back with yer rainbow!"

At his rainbow?
Did this boil--lad--mean to say that they all had rainbows? So there was a rainbow for every leprechaun. This place got more and more ridiculous by the moment. Rainbows for everyone and green clover vomit all over th ground. Wha was next? Did they keep all their wealth in pots?
He needed to roll with it. Know thine event. Blend in. Other nonsense. No doubt the elder leprechaun would be interested in this back home, hearing how the mockeries lived.
"Ah, lad, that is a great idea!" No, it wasn't. The rainbow was obvious.
"I shall look there! Thank ye!"
Now hopefully he'd go away. He had done that right, hadn't he?
Blade Kuroda
when I post distracted, I forget to roll... Did I have to once he was noticed? *derp*
Sin froze up as an actual Leprechaun approached them, she had no idea how to interact with it. Cearney was glaring at her and talking about how much he knew, well good then let him talk his way out of this encounter. Surprisingly Sin heard him start speaking what must have been the native accent.
She blinked and then scowled before licking her lips and considering trying it herself. Then she decided not to and simply stuck the pipe back in her mouth. She'd seen her father smoke a pipe before, not like this one, an elegantly crafted one that he occasionally puffed on when he was in his office writing up a contract. She tried to mimic his slow puffs only to have a coughing fit. "Ugh jack that's horrid..."
She realized her error a moment too late and then coughed and stuck the pipe in her mouth.
"Eh...I mean...I got'a WEE bit o smoke in my lung..."
It was a pretty lame attempt to cover up her faux pas but it would have to do. Selene's status as her favorite professor was so gone!

"Aye. Well then ye better get on with that, laddie. Wouldn't want someone else t'be stealin ye pot o'gold now, would ye?"
The leprechaun nodded, then settled back down by the tree to enjoy his pipe.

Akubi had found himself somewhere strange and in stranger uniform. He felt unhappy about all of this even if his expression didn't change from a beaming ear-to-ear grin.
He made sure to gather himself up and to follow along his companions and only stood aside for the time being, to get another gander around while issues were being worked out. There was just something about the place that gave him the heeblie jeeblies and not in the good way that some things did.
... That was close. He managed to drive off the suspicion. As much as he hated the form he was in, maybe he should play it a little cooler.
Know thine enemy.
The others in his fey clan would be terribly interested in all of this and he knew it. It was a way for them to both prove their superiority and ponder about how they may some day take over the public image and return it to something more FEAR-generating instead of LUCK-generating. That was what this jackdamned place ran off of, right? Luck? He could tell by the environment it was inferior to the sheer power of Fear--
He watched as the leprechaun next to him had a coughing fit over the smoke, Briefly, his eyes widened, but he was relieved when it did not somehow draw even more suspicion. "Aye, lass, ye should be more careful with the pipe!"
He glanced at the retreating leprechaun, before glancing at their whole group. Quickly, he gestured in the opposite direction of the leprechaun and towards the city, both knowing they needed to get away before that leprechaun started wondering why they were not going to his rainbow, and knowing that being in a crowd might help them not stand out so much.
As much as he didn't want to be near that terrible town.
It looked hideous. The mockeries made his eye twitch...
Hurrah, clear of suspicion (for now)...

Sitting on his backside and wincing as he sat up, Marosa watched the exchange for a good bit, raising an eyebrow as he casually (and lightly) chewed on the end of his pipe.
"Oi guess this is what it's like tae be short," Marosa half muttered to himself after glancing over his form, feeling different for sure. He took a puff of smoke and was careful to not blow it in his companion's faces. He didn't see Hadiyya yet, but he noticed a few others and nodded to them respectively.
"Aye, a leedle loose in th' noggin, iffin ye catch me drift," He stated to the leprechaun against the tree, hoping the two would catch on and not give themselves away. They were supposed to be undercover, aye?
He was going to guess by the accent of the one that just spoke up that this was Marosa. He didn't know anyone else at the school that could affect an Irish accent as naturally as Cearney and Marosa could, considering they both were of Irish origin.
"Aye, aye, I get ye joke," Cearney rolled his eyes slightly, before motioning towards the town.
"Me pot o' gold is that way," offered Cearney, for a moment, before hissing in a side-whisper, "if ye wouldn't mind follown' me." Maybe he could sort of herd them all towards the crowded town. That would help a bit.

Listening to the others try to blend in with speech patterns and what not made Akubi uncertain if he should even begin to open his mouth. He just knew he wanted to get out and get out fairly soon. He just gestured at the one that seemed to know what they were doing to move forward.
But he was also moving forward himself because ick.
Never coming near here again. Nope. Can't make him.
Everything about the oddly grinning figure spoke of a urgent desire to finish this and leave.
Sin really didn't want to get any closer to the green town with it's disturbing rainbow covered sky. She had a feeling fitting in there would be impossible, it was hard enough not to start screaming at the loss of her height, wings, and good fashion sense.
She glanced over at Marosa and raised a brow questioningly, where was Yaya? Sin hoped the other ghoul hadn't ended up dumped somewhere else in this miserable place. Maybe Yaya had just been smart enough not to eat that gooey sickeningly sweet candy.
Cearney was apparently going to head into town and Sin glowered a moment before trying the accent again though it was atrocious really. She had attended classes in her youth to achieve the sophisticated cultured purr of a succubi socialite not the brogue of a highland fey.
"Aye'll help ya find yer pot'o'gold...."
She grumbled and decided that sticking with her group was probably for the best for now.
