Prompt I
You find yourself in a dark wood, snow falling around you and patches of starlight shine down from overhead. Though the moon is nowhere in sight, the snow-laden ground glows with its light. Chimes tinkle from the shadows deeper in the woods, and the frost twinkles in turn. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of a spectral shape weaving between the trees. As soon as you look, it turns out to be nothing but a wreath of fog that disperses and vanishes. The chill night air is bitter against your skin. Each snowflake that lands is like a kiss of sweetness. The air is pungent with magic.
You have no recollection of how you got here. Nor, do you have any idea of how to leave.
Up ahead, no more than a hundred paces, a light turns on. It releases a yellow glow, the only warm colour in all of the blue-tinted landscape. The light looks as though it belongs to a lamp post except that... every so often it drifts up and down, like a fishing lure riding the gentle crest of a wave. A gust of wind pulls you closer.

Username:One Little Jay Character Name:LeBelldaRP Response:Bell hugged her arms tight around herself. She was alone, she was cold and she was scared. "hey... stupid, what did you get us into this time?" She whispered as her tail huddled closer to her for heat. She let out a yelp as her eyes adjusted to the fog. "No, I'm not scared you're scared." She frowned padding on her feet somehow not freezing despite being barefooted in the snow. Seeing the light a hope rises in her chest, 'that must be the way back' her pace quickened as the wind pushed her. For some reason, Bell wasn't scared as much as she was confused. She knew that if she went missing someone would have to come to look for her. Afterall a freshling couldn't just wander off on their own and no one notice right?

Username: belloblossom Character Name: AislingRP Response: Aisling wasn't sure how she ended up in the woods, but she was able to process rather quickly that she was alone. Not even her Pumpka familiar, Pooka, was with her. She still had her trusty plush pet, Mr. Spooks, but he was silent as ever. Staring on ahead, she tried to figure out where she was meant to go. There were stars, but no moon. The snow seemed to glow and the air was chilly. She was cold and she clutched Mr. Spooks to her chest.
"Safety in numbers." She told him. "So we gotta stick together Mr. Spooks."
It was with saying those words, she thought, that the light appeared. Her three eyes became round and she started heading towards it. Maybe there were caretakers nearby, shining that light to guide her back to the Academy!

Username: Kaefaux Character Name: Corvus (( x )) RP Response: Well this was new. Corvus blinked slowly at the drifting snowflakes, boots crunching against fallen leaves and mounting snow as she began to turn in place. The blue tint on the snow suggested a moon was about, somewhere, but she could see nothing but the woods and spatters of stars between branches. Now and then, movement caught her from the corner of her eye, but it was each time nothing more than fog floating between the trees. Beneath her breath, she cussed, and rubbed at her arms where guiding and ward tattoos were embedded. The leather jacket was not exactly suitable coverage for being out on a snowy night. Why was she there? How? She might have cursed more, likely louder, were it not for two new developments before her. Or well. Technically three? A light flicked on not far from where she loitered, but it helped to further illuminate two kids that also were dragged into this mess somehow. Wings ruffling against the grasping wind, she trudged forward--more towards the youngsters than merely the oddly bobbing light. "Hey," she called out, hoping to grab their attention. "You two ok? What're you doing out here?" If she was lucky, one of them was from around here and... not just wandering in the woods without an adult. Yeah. If.

Character Name: Noriko
RP Response: Noriko was a man of endurance and the strength of ones will. The challenge of enduring the chill of cold was always an excellent test, a way to regulate his body, and refuse to allow it to sink its icy fingers into his veins. It would eventually become a sense of calming, like tender graces of chilled water brushing his flesh.
Yet his multiple eyes were certainly getting a show of their own, following the practice of magic dancing around the frozen landscape. How enchanting... and alluring. The bright light was equally inviting, leaving no sense of worry nor concern in the already collected individual. So, with ease, he began to approach it.

Prompt IIAs you draw closer, you realise that the light shines from not a single source but multiple, all gathered about the lamp post. The lights grow brighter at your approach, and the landscape is touched by a golden glow that reveals certain curiosities you must have missed in the gloom. Tree trunks are nothing short of candy canes, with stretched taffy leaves attached to their striped limbs. What looked like frosty toadstools are in fact sugarcoated gumdrops. The crystal-like rocks peeking up through the snow are rocks only in name, and come in glittering hues of pink, blue, and green. From the sweet powdered snow at your feet, to the fluffy marshmallow clouds in the sky, the entire world appears to be made out of candy. You have little time to wonder however. The lights disperse from the lamppost and zip down to meet you. Several dozen of them hover about, giggling musically as they circle around you. Up close, you can make out tiny humanoid shapes within the lights—tiny people with fey-like wings that keep them aloft. A light cloud of dust trails out from behind them. Some of it sprinkles down over you, and you find your body becoming light. As your feet begin to lift away from the snow, the pixies flit about you as though in an elaborate dance. Their tiny hands spin you around just a few feet off the ground. The way they zip back and forth makes it difficult to keep track of any one for too long. Then suddenly, you find your feet back on solid ground. The pixies are flying back towards the woods as fast as their little wings can take them. Something seems to be weighing them down however... It's then that you realise your pocket feels lighter. And you're pretty sure it isn't from the pixie dust. Darn Those Pixies!The sugar pixies have stolen something from you! Roll 1d6 in an attempt to recover your possession(s). For each character assisting you, add +1 to your roll result. In order to assist another player, simply quote them. You may roll as many times as you like, but each roll must be accompanied by a minimum of 50 words of RP.If you roll a...1: A pixie trips you, and you fall face first into a snow drift. It's cold, but at least it's sweet.
2: You close in on a pixie, but it snaps a branch back towards you and you get a mouth full of peppermint.
3: The pixies toss your object back and forth between them in a game of keep away, all the while laughing uproariously.
4: You have a pixie cornered, but it blows a handful of dust into your face, sending you into a sneezing fit.
5: You hear a rattling sound from the branches and look up in time to see a pixie shake a pile of whipped cream onto your head.
6+: Success! You've captured the naughty thief and reclaimed your possession. Prompt updates are being bumped to Thursdays/Sundays. Responses are not due until the 13th. Apologies again on the delay!

Character Name: Noriko
RP Response: Upon the closer inspection, Noriko was indeed quite shocked by what was revealed from the tricks played on his eyes. What had appeared to be merely a beckoning singular light was a cluster... of miniature glowing beings. They were entrancing to watch, and the background that encased them was given far more whimsy than he'd noticed too. Faux nature composed of sweets... how odd.
As he is placed back, unceremoniously, onto the ground, hovering claws lightly feel for the missing scarf that had been keeping his neck and mouth warmed. His multiple eyes couldn't miss the sight of it being toted away, following after the fleeing light. Deeper in though it gets more difficult to track them, as they disperse. Looking to one of the candy trees as it rustled in the growing darkness, Noriko takes a peek... only to earn a soft dollop of whip cream on his smooth head. Well then....

Character Name: Noriko
RP Response: A hand raised to scoop up, and flick the soft, weightless substance from his round head. It clung to his fingers though... which was then patted on his thick coat. Well these were certainly playful little things~ he watched as another danced around him with his scarf... and baited him to turn towards an awaiting little pixie that blew some sort of dust into his face. Nose wiggling, he found himself to be in a fit of sneezes!

Username: Kaefaux Character Name: Corvus (( x )) RP Response: The closer she got to the lights, the more she realised it wasn't a... well. Average, every-day lamp. Multiple small balls of light drifted around, and soon, around her. Corvus bit back some curses as she caught sight of the little humanoid figures. She wanted to get out of there and back home, not deal with... whatever this was. Her eyes narrowed slightly beyond the glow of the pixies and she frowned. Why was everything.... candiefied? In her distraction, she for a second didn't notice the sensation of… well. Floating. But she yelped when she did, wings flapping frantically and all around unhappy towards the magically assisted flight. Back on her feet… "You little thieves! Give that back!" She grit her teeth and took rushed steps towards the pranksters… and caught her foot on something. Corvus grunted as she hit the snow. It… at least tasted good? But out came the curses and swears as she scrambled back up to retrieve the phone they'd stolen from her pocket.

Username: Kaefaux Character Name: Corvus (( x )) RP Response: Up ahead, the pixies continued to buzz about and zoom away. Within the candy forest, Corvus alternated between flying herself between the candy cane trees, and racing about on foot. "Give it back," she growled, watching as some of the pixies began to toss her phone about between them. Each time she'd near one, they'd toss it to the other, and so on. "Little brats... I thought you all hated technology?" Apparently no one told them that.

Username: Kaefaux Character Name: Corvus (( x )) RP Response: Between the trees she darted, her wings tucking close between rapid beats to keep from getting clipped by the candy trunks. It occurred to her that the amount of calories she was likely burning off in this race was making grabbing a bite of the confectionary scenery entirely justifiable. If only she had confirmation it was real and not some illusion, she'd be on that… A rattling above caught her attention and she looked up, just in time for a pixie to cackle—not giggle, cackle—and topple a bunch of whipped cream on her back. "Damn it! Just give me back my phone!"

Character Name: Noriko
RP Response: He was just wiping his nose for possibly the fifteenth time, nose now irritated and plenty tickled from that dust, when yet another one of the trixy pixies garnered for his attention. They seemed to be handing his scarf out in offer... when another one sneakily was poised by his ankles to knock him down as soon as he took a step forward. The fall into the cold snow wasn't terrible, luckily, its sweet scent and the mild taste that snuck into his mouth not off putting. But it was certainly surprising.

Prompt IIIThe pixies lead you on a merry chase through the wood for several minutes, always a wing beat ahead, just slipping through your fingers. The cellphone and scarf drift farther and farther out of reach until it seems unlikely that you'll ever get them back. Not without negotiating anyway. As you lag behind the thieves, you notice that you have lost the lamp post and perhaps even your way. Shadows lick at your feet from the encroaching darkness. The candy flora appears to be damp and mushy, as though it can barely hold itself up right. The sweet stink of rot fills your nose. Suddenly, the snow gives way beneath you, and you're tumbling, down... tab tab tab tab tab tab down... ... down into a dark pit. The bottom is wet and mucky, like pancake batter that has been left out too long. The walls are slick like mud, so it is hard to get a grip. The sludge sticks to your hands, your face, your clothes, and the more you try to rid yourself of it, the more it seems to spread. Worse still, the stench is stronger than before threatens to overwhelm your senses. It's the Pits!You find yourself stuck at the bottom of an unpleasant, smelly hole! And unfortunately the only way out is to climb. To climb, roll 1d10 until you have accumulated a total value of 20 from your rolls. If you are assisting another player, you may accumulate your rolls together. In order to assist another player, simply quote them. You may roll as many times as you like, but each roll must be accompanied by a minimum of 50 words of RP.
