Arthe Dale Concert: Shaoimhe 1-20-2023
Arthe Hollow Inn, Arthe Dale, Zoluren
Performer
Tartling Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, a Halfling
Shaoimhe has an angular face, slightly pointed ears, tilted starry silver eyes and a pair of spiraled windsteel nose rings through the right side of a small nose. Her bright green-streaked deep blue hair is short and curly and has been shaved at the sides, and is worn pulled back in a loose ponytail bound with a wispy chain of wyndeflowers flecked with lightning amethysts. She has tanned skin and a lissome figure. She is slightly under average height for a Halfling.
Some gleaming musical notes carved from faceted rainbow sapphires float lazily around her left forearm, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her skin. Her left wrist has a tattoo of a school of silver-flecked violet dancerfish swimming through a rippling musical staff.
She is wearing a pale violet aerial bodysuit covered in tiny iridescent hummingbird feathers, an indurium neithrel band set with a starstone and engraved with tarts and a pair of violet-hued leather trapeze boots adorned with night diamonds.
Location
[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room]
The room is filled with jovial conversation, laughter, much toasting and a layer of smoky haze. Guests of all races mingle at the long, low tables. A Halfling holding a very large mug of beer jumps in front of the stone fireplace, lets out a whoop and bursts into a spontaneous song. Daisy Burdock, the inn's waitress, maneuvers adeptly through the crowd carrying a tray of mugs and occasionally glancing out the window. A menu is posted at the archway next to a prominent sign.
You also see an open doorway, some wooden stairs, a polished wooden bar with several things on it and a wooden menuboard.

I'd run through sunny meadows each day
And of tarts I had my fill."

(Shaoimhe glances around with a mischievous gleam in her quicksilver eyes, one hand slipping into her tart pouch to extract a pastry. She take a bite without hesitation, stuffing the tart back into its container as she chews and swallows just in time to start her next verse.)

"But everyone knew I couldn't sit still
And one day I crossed that river
In Crossings I found so much to do
The possibilities made me shiver!"

(Shaoimhe's eyes widen as she looks off into the distance, as though recalling that day. Her hands clasp in front of her, the picture of innocence, but it's with barely-contained grin of wickedness that she turns back to the crowd.)

(Shaoimhe steps into her hoop, bracing her left hand against the upper curve and her right foot on the bottom. With her left foot she kicks off, sending herself into a spin! After a few revolutions she extends her right arm out, pointing her finger forward, before her left foot snaps back to the floor and she lurches in the sudden stop.

Saslisena says, "Umm..."
Iryta just nudged Jycanth.
Saslisena blinks.
(Shaoimhe opens her eyes, the bright silver of them flashing excitedly as she steps forward, left hand curled around the metal of her ring and right hand stretching outward from her side. She bends her body back, her right hand moving to balance her as she brings the hoop over and around her as though stepping into a dance.)
Eruwyn takes a sip of her tea.
(Shaoimhe completes the movement, straightening back up only to step forward and then to the side, letting the hoop pirouette around her gracefully. She follows it with a dainty two-step, twisting herself around the ring and maneuvering it with the lightest of taps from one hand or the other. The dance continues in a neat circle around the set until Shaoimhe steps inside the ring.)

Iryta takes a sip of her cider.
Eruwyn gazes at Shaoimhe.
(Shaoimhe grips the upper arch of the ring with both hands above her head and steps her feet onto the lower curve of the metal, tilting it forward so that her body cartwheels with it. She adjusts her hands seamlessly just as they come around to the floor, keeping her posture taut and avoiding any pinched fingers. When she comes back rightside-up she steps one foot off to the side, angling the ring while her hands walk along the upper curve to keep it moving forward. She switches feet, angling the ring the other way, her body twisting the opposite way each time to turn the movement into a bit of tango. She continues the rollicking motion across the floor with a grin.)
Tiarmo gives a slight nod.
Jaelia gasps at Shaoimhe!
Aetheline squints.
Saslisena's jaw drops.
(Shaoimhe stops on the far side of the room, lifting one foot neatly while her other pivots her to face the crowd.

Raising her peppermint tea to Shaoimhe, Eruwyn gives her a toast.
Eruwyn takes a sip of her tea.
Tiarmo whistles at Shaoimhe.
(Shaoimhe suddenly catches the hoop, stopping it cold, and kicks herself off the ground. She pulls herself up onto the upper curve of the ring, arms shaking as she strains to keep the thin loop balanced while she does so. She holds this for just a moment before she lets herself fall forward, flipping the ring over her and planting it back down to repeat the motion, as though trying to jump a very unwieldy rope.)
Iryta takes a sip of her cider.
Aetheline widens her eyes like a lunatic.
Eruwyn giggles.
Tiarmo whispers something to Aetheline.
Saslisena asks, "W..w..what?"
(Shaoimhe holds the pose once more, taking a steadying breath, and then flips herself over the upper curve quickly enough to keep the hoop from falling forward again. It wobbles threateningly as she rights herself and she glares down at it. When it makes the wise choice to stay upright, Shaoimhe nods in satisfaction. She remains balanced precariously on the ring, hands white-knuckled in her grip on the outside of the upper curve as she holds herself up.)
Saslisena flails her arms about.
Jaelia wrings her hands nervously.
Eruwyn chortles softly at some secret joke.
Jaelia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
Aetheline whispers something to Tiarmo.
(Shaoimhe slowly begins to lift her lower body up, shifting subtly as needed to keep the ring steady. She gives little hisses of frustration with each quiver of the hoop beneath her, her brow furrowed as her legs raise above her head. After long, tense moments she finally straightens her body into a perfect handstand on top of the hoop, perfectly balanced.)

Saslisena says, "Wow."
Eruwyn is giggling at Nilme.
(Shaoimhe pauses here for as long as it takes her to remember to breathe again, and with a little gasp she lets her body finish the journey over the ring and drops onto the floor lightly. She keeps her hands wrapped easily around the metal, poised for her next move, but she takes a moment to recollect herself. After a few measured breaths, she double checks the position of the pillow, nods to herself, and flashes a mischievous wink to the crowd.)

(Shaoimhe takes a step back and lifts her ring around her, assuming a star-like position inside of it but for her left foot keeping her steadied on the floor. With a shout of delight, she pushes herself off, beginning a wild spin! Her body twists, foot snapping out with quick taps to gain speed. She becomes a blur of flashing violet, her cheerful laughter sounding odd as she twirls.)
Sonatina applauds.
Eruwyn lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!
Aetheline's jaw drops.
(Shaoimhe begins to slow, the hoop starting to wobble awkwardly like a top about to fall. Around and around, slower and slower, around...and around...until...)

Aetheline gazes at Shaoimhe in awe.
Kikania blinks.
Jaelia blinks at Shaoimhe.
(Shaoimhe teeters through one last rotation before she flops, face down with a muffled "oomph" onto the perfectly placed pillow. Her hands finally release the metal and she pushes herself up to sit inside the hoop, grinning out at everyone.)

(Shaoimhe prances back in front of the gathered crowd, mouthing a quick "thank you!" to Nilme for the introduction. She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, no hint of nervousness now, but just as one too full of energy to sit still. She beams out at everyone.)

"When the world has kicked you down to the ground
When you feel there's no hope at all to be found
When the storm clouds gather 'round your head
And you'd rather spend all day in bed."
(Shaoimhe gazes morosely out at nothing, her shoulders hunched. She heaves a deeply dramatic sigh before moving on to the next verse.)
Shaoimhe sadly sings in a soprano voice:
"When you think there's nothing left but sorrow
And you just can't see a bright tomorrow
Or when the darkness seems too deep
And you pray the gods your soul to keep."

Shaoimhe excitedly exclaims, ""The Cat and The Moon" is the most fun song I know, and always got everyone dancing! So don't be afraid to move!"
Aetheline begins bouncing up and down like a little kid!
(Shaoimhe settles her fiddle on her shoulder, tucking it beneath her chin in an easy movement. She brings the bow up and draws it over the strings, testing a few notes before quieting it once more. Closing her eyes, she counts off to herself, one foot tapping the rhythm like a metronome before she flies into a bright ditty.)
Aetheline grins slowly.
Jecala takes a bite of the tart.
(Shaoimhe's fingers dance through the opening notes, the spritely song filling the air. With a bright smile on her face, Shaoimhe throws her voice eagerly into the first verse.)
Shaoimhe raucously sings in a soprano voice:
"There's an inn of old renown
Where they brew a beer so brown
Moon came rolling down the hill
One Hevensday night to drink his fill."

(Shaoimhe skips around, the notes skipping with her cheerfully from her fiddle.)

Shaoimhe raucously sings in a soprano voice:
"On a three-stringed fiddle there
Played the Ostler's cat so fair
The horned cow that night was seen
To dance a jig upon the green."
(Shaoimhe stops her flouncing, looking thrilled as she takes in a deep breath for the next part.)
Iryta takes a sip of her tea.
Shaoimhe quickly sings in a soprano voice:
"Called by the fiddle to the
Middle of the muddle where the
Cow with the caper sent the
Small dog squealing.
Moon in a fuddle went to
Huddle by the griddle but he
Slipped in a puddle and the
World went reeling."

"Outsides went wide
As the fiddle

With a twiddle on the fiddle
In the middle by the griddle
And the Moon slept till Sterrenday."

Saslisena cocks her head.
Useff cocks his head and examines the fleece-lined boots.
Eruwyn blinks.
(Shaoimhe dances around joyously, her fiddling an extension of her spirited singing. She twirls around, each note melding into the next as she loses herself in the rhythm.)
Shaoimhe raucously sings in a soprano voice:
"Dish from off the dresser pranced
Found a spoon and gaily danced
Horses neighed and champed their bits
For the bloodshot Moon had lost his wits."
Excitedly, Kethrai prances around in a tight circle.
Eruwyn giggles at Kethrai.
Aetheline spreads her fingers wide and begins to wave her arms about, creating a dizzying and graceful effect.
Shaoimhe raucously sings in a soprano voice:
"Well, cow jumped over, Dog barked wild
Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled
Ostler cried, "Play faster, Cat!
Because we all want to dance like that.""
Iryta hums to herself.
(Shaoimhe finishes a bouncing sort of twirl, stopping everything suddenly and taking in a dramatic breath before resuming her fiddling and throwing her voice eagerly into the new flurry of words.)
Aetheline beams at Shaoimhe!
Shaoimhe quickly sings in a soprano voice:
"Gambol and totter till you're
Hotter than a hatter and you
Spin all akimbo
Like a windmill flailing.
Whirl with a clatter till you
Scatter every cotter and the
Strings start a-pinging as the
World goes sailing."
Kethrai dances in a circle, shaking his behind and his tail right along with it, while waving his arms overhead.
Hands curled into mock claws, Aetheline cavorts and capers about, grinning fiendishly.
Shaoimhe beams!

(Shaoimhe beams, cheeks rosy with the exertion, but she doesn't slow down. With an energetic hop she takes back up her spinning.)

But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.

Shaoimhe yells, "HEY!"
Jaelia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

"Broadsides go boom
With a batter and a clatter
You can shatter every platter
But the Moon slept till Sterrenday."
Aetheline continues to dance with Kethrai.
Shaoimhe beams at Jaelia!
Aetheline dances a lively jig!
(Shaoimhe weaves between the crowd, a blur of color and sound as she shows off her skill with her fiddle. The ditty fills the room, its liveliness undeniable and the look on Shaoimhe's face one of pure joy. She dances her way back to the center for the final chorus.)
Aetheline does a happy little dance!
Shaoimhe wildly sings in a soprano voice:
"Downsiiiides go up!"
Kethrai dances a lively jig!

Iryta offers Jycanth a large goblet of Five-Spike Recluse tea.
Jycanth accepts Iryta's Recluse tea.
(Shaoimhe draws the bow across her fiddle in a final energetic note and throws her head back with a joyous shout. Panting, she sketches a bow and skips back, grabbing another water from the bar as she goes. She can be seen in the back of the room rummaging through her pack, extracting a variety of items, as Nilme steps up for the next introduction.)

Raising her Taffelberry fizz to Shaoimhe, Jecala gives her a toast.
Nilme gazes happily at Shaoimhe.
(Shaoimhe returns lugging a hodgepodge of items in her arms, dropping them onto the ground unceremoniously. She grins sheepishly at the loud *thunk*.)
Kethrai takes a sip of his fizz.
Nilme gazes thoughtfully at Shaoimhe.
Shaoimhe quietly says, "Sorry..."
(Shaoimhe kicks the items into various little piles - batons of various colors, silver balls that jingle when they move, stuffed beanbags detailed to look like tarts, and small hoops. Once they are separated thus so, she stands behind them proudly.)
Ruea chuckles.
Shaoimhe excitedly says, "For my final act of the night, I'm going to do some good old-fashioned juggling! I promise I'll make it a little more exciting, though."
Shaoimhe flashes a quick grin.
Aetheline glances at Shaoimhe.
Tiarmo quietly says to Aetheline, "So about that property damage..."
Jycanth grins.
Aetheline grins slowly at Tiarmo.
Jaelia grins.
Saslisena cocks her head.
Tiarmo lets out a long, contemplative breath.
Tiarmo gazes upward.
Iryta begins chortling at Tiarmo.
Useff takes a bite of the popcorn.
Aetheline says to Tiarmo, "I got you."
(Shaoimhe rolls her shoulders and stretches her arms above her head, bringing them back down and shaking her whole body out. Then she bends down, taking up the beanbags first, and setting herself into a wide stance.)
Tiarmo grunts at Aetheline.
Aetheline winks and flashes Tiarmo a sly grin.
Aetheline hums to herself.
Aetheline glances at Shaoimhe.
(Shaoimhe begins by tossing three of the beanbags into the air and adding more into the flow one by one, the various designs of the delicacies creating a fun rainbow of berry blues, reds, and yellows arcing through the air.)
(Shaoimhe switches between juggling the tarts with both hands to juggling half with one hand and half with the other. She does crisscrosses and high arcs and a few under-the-knees. The whole time her feet tap lightly as she moves in a swaying sort of dance, never missing a beat.)
(Aetheline shuffles her way to the front of the crowd, eagerly taking in the scene before her. With a slow grin that incrementally grows more dangerous as the moments pass, she inches ever closer to the piles of props.)
Jycanth chuckles to himself.
Kethrai gazes at Shaoimhe.
Useff glances at Aetheline.
(Shaoimhe glances over at Aetheline, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. Still she juggles, shifting to incorporate a few careful drops of the beanbags and kicking them off the inner arch of her foot to put them seamlessly back into the rotation. She even manages a few kicks in a row for one chosen bag, hopping from one foot to the next to keep it in the air before it rejoins the others.)
Saslisena babbles incoherently.
(Aetheline swings her pack off one shoulder and begins to dig frantically within, as though struck with a sudden inspiration. With a quiet gasp, she abruptly goes still, clearly having found what she was searching for. Nervously glancing from side to side to ensure that all eyes are currently on Shaoimhe, she pulls out a small dagger from the pack and tosses it in the juggling Halfling's direction, seamlessly blending into the line of objects Shaoimhe is deftly maneuvering.)
Jaelia gasps!
Nilme glances at Aetheline, a female Gnome.
Iryta quietly asks Saslisena, "You waiting for the pirate angle, aren't ya?"
Saslisena says to Iryta, "...umm..."
Saslisena grins sheepishly.
Tiarmo snickers at Iryta.
Zalinyar grins, revealing her dimples.
(Shaoimhe sets her face, glad to have been watching the mischievous Gnome. She easily incorporates the sudden appearance of the dagger into the flow of juggling, as though she had been expecting it. By the glower she throws Aetheline's way, it's probably safe to assume she was.)
Saslisena says to Iryta, "I was wondering when she's going to juggle a pirate..."
Saslisena glances at Shaoimhe.
(Saslisena looks hopeful!!!)
(Shaoimhe continues to juggle in a variety of patterns, carefully catching the dagger each time it comes around by its handle. The metal glints in the light of the room as it arches and drops again and again, a dangerous addition to the otherwise softness of fluffy tarts.)
Iryta grins at Saslisena, her dimples flashing into view.
Tiarmo quietly says to Saslisena, "And now I'm wondering the same thing. Danggit, Sas."
Tiarmo squints at Shaoimhe.
Saslisena fixes Shaoimhe with a solid, steady stare.
Saslisena nods at Tiarmo, obviously agreeing with his views.
(Aetheline scowls and dives back into her pack. Sporting an alarmingly villainous smile, she withdraws a throwing axe with rainbow-hued inset gems that catch the light and sparkle so beautifully, it almost belies the true nature of the weapon. In the blink of an eye, Aetheline lobs the axe at Shaoimhe, determined to unbalance the Halfling's act and send all the objects to the floor.)
(Kethrai flexes and warms up his healing-fingers just in case...)
Nilme frowns and shakes her head in exasperation, resting her face in the palm of her hand.
Iryta chortles softly at some secret joke.
Saslisena blinks at Aetheline.
Jecala gasps!
Saslisena says, "Oh."
Useff quietly says to you, "At least it wasn't on fire."
(Shaoimhe scowls right back at Aetheline, looking just as determined as the Danger Gnome. Her hand snaps up and grabs the glittering axe by the handle. She maneuvers the action quickly, adding it in to the rest of her juggling, but one tart-like beanbag falls victim. Shaoimhe gawks down at it, allowing herself just a moment to grieve before turning her full attention back to her increasingly dangerous juggling.)
Nilme nods to Useff.
Iryta says to Useff, "..yet."
Nilme says, "Don't give them ideas."
Tiarmo winces.
A nervous tic starts up around Aetheline's eye.
Tiarmo asks Nilme, "Should we start the paperwork now or later?"
Tiarmo laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.
Aetheline balls up her fists stiffly at her side.
Saslisena ponders juggling glitter...
Jycanth quietly says to Useff, "Or do..."
Nilme quietly says to Tiarmo, " probably now."
Saslisena shifts her weight.
Tiarmo sighs.
Saslisena squirms.
(Shaoimhe sticks her tongue out at Aetheline and gets back into a flow, even throwing in a victory twirl with no further casualties. Shaoimhe sashays forward and scoops the pile of rings onto her left foot, balancing perfectly on her right.)
Saslisena babbles incoherently.
Useff takes a bite of the popcorn.
(Shaoimhe, never losing the whirl of items in her hands, begins to bob her foot up and down. One by one the rings begin to twirl off her foot and then back down, right on target to loop onto her foot and back up once more. She gets a good rhythm going between both hands and feet, playing with the rings as they arc up by tossing the tiny tarts through them in their pattern. The knife and axe flash in their own unforgettable addition to the spectacle.)
Saslisena says to Tiarmo, "Please tell me she isn't going to do this with that ring thing like earlier... I'll die."
Aetheline narrows her eyes.
Eruwyn gazes at Shaoimhe.
(Aetheline's eyes light up with mischief as another idea seems to take hold. As she rummages through her pack, stopping every so often to fiddle with something within its depths, the astringent smell of naphtha permeates the room.)
Eruwyn glances at Aetheline.
Useff leans back.
Tiarmo quietly says to Saslisena, "Honey, who knows. It's SheShe. And Aethe. Ohgods, between the two of them..."
Nilme squints at Aetheline.
(Shaoimhe slows down her juggling and finally deftly catches them, dropping the beanbags down to allow herself to catch the wayward weapons without further incident. She drops the rings off her foot and kicks all of the used items aside, pointedly keeping the knife and axe away from the crowd...and therefore Aetheline. Shaoimhe turns back and collects the jingling silver balls, going back to the center and preparing for the next round of jugging before she sniffs. And sniffs again. Slowly her gaze shifts over to Aetheline.)
Saslisena whispers a prayer from her mouth into the wind, certain it will reach Enelne's ear.
Zalinyar grins, revealing her dimples.
Kethrai gazes at Aetheline.
Tiarmo covers his eyes with his hand.
Ruea smiles.
Nilme nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
Useff takes a bite of the popcorn.
(Aetheline triumphantly extracts a handful of knives, their coated, wet blades glistening in the candlelight. The smell of naphtha is stronger now, and Shaoimhe's eyes widen as she spots the source of the odor. Aetheline giggles darkly to herself, then catches Shaoimhe's eye. They stare at each other intensely as the entire room seems to hold its breath.)
Nilme winces.
Jaelia applauds.
Jaelia applauds.
Jycanth makes a feeble attempt to imitate an owl.
Iryta chortles softly at some secret joke.
Eruwyn softly says, "At least this isn't a Troupe event."
Eruwyn gazes upward.
Nilme laughs at Eruwyn!
(Shaoimhe keeps her eyes locked on Aethline as she crouches down, setting the balls back on the floor. When she raises herself back up she keeps her knees bent slightly, hands poised in front of her, every muscle taut as if in a fighting stance.)
Jaelia takes a sip of her tea
.
Aetheline smiles benignly as she gestures with her free hand at the knives and the blades immediately catch fire, her eyes never leaving Shaoimhe's.
Nilme sighs.
Nilme glances at Tiarmo, a male Elf.
Tiarmo says, "Oh. Hey. Fire."
Nilme says to Tiarmo, "You called it."
(Aetheline, without warning, begins to fling the knives at Shaoimhe in wild abandon.)
Jycanth appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Saslisena lets out a high-pitched yelp!
Jecala laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Jaelia laughs!
Iryta ducks her head.
Tiarmo says to Nilme, "So this'll be like another ten pages of paperwork."
Eruwyn quietly says, "If they burn down the inn, they're never letting us back in."
Tiarmo mutters a sour "Huzzah" to himself.
Zalinyar lets out a hearty cheer for Aetheline!
Jaelia gasps!
(Shaoimhe yelps and leaps into action, twirling and somersaulting and backflipping and just downright ducking as the knives fly past her. One knife gets so close that one of the iridescent feathers from her bodysuit gets caught on it and taken with it. "You owe Emyrose a feather!" Shaoimhe yells, standing up straight now and crossing her arms across her chest as she pouts towards Aetheline.)
Iryta grins at Eruwyn, her dimples flashing into view.
Stelling gazes thoughtfully at Eruwyn.
Jaelia applauds.
Jaelia applauds.
Jaelia takes a sip of her tea.
Tiarmo says, "Leave my wife outta it, SheShe."
Jaelia takes a bite of the tart.
Eruwyn laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Grinning, Tiarmo pulls a swig from a short-stemmed glass snifter of toffee-hued cognac.
(Aetheline howls in anguish as, with a vibrating *thunk* or a whispered *snick*, each blade sinks into the forgiving wood of the bar behind Shaoimhe... save for a stray knife or two that ends up embedded in a nearby tabletop.)
Ezerak chuckles.
Nilme rolls her eyes heavenward and mumbles, "Why me?!"
Saslisena blinks.
Useff whistles low.
Eruwyn softly says to Stelling, "Don't tell Vix."
Saslisena blinks.
Tiarmo says to Nilme, "So, how about that weather? Tell me when you want me to use my Dad voice."
Aetheline smiles sharply as the sudden *crash* of the waitress dropping a tray of freshly poured drinks directs the attention of the audience away from her, and she slips silently back into the crowd, vanishing from sight. Soon, each knife is extinguished and plucked from its landing spot by an unseen hand, leaving only a scorched gash in the wood as a lingering reminder of Shaoimhe's incredible performance.
Nilme grins at Tiarmo.
Useff grins at Shaoimhe.
Saslisena blinks.
(Shaoimhe flinches as she hears the stomping waitress come over to the damage. She looks around wildly for Aetheline only to discover the little miscreant has disappeared. Putting on her most charming smile, she eventually placates the waitress and breathes a sigh of relief, turning back to the crowd. She blinks, as if having forgotten about everyone for a moment, before stumbling into a bow.)
Aetheline leans on Tiarmo.
Eruwyn glances at Aetheline.
