A Concert featuring the songs and stories of: THE Cythra

Introductions by: Nilme Iondu'il


Announcements

Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "About 30 Rois until PJ Party Time at Ravens Club with Black Foxes and other Foxy type people who may show up if they are awesome. And Raikage is cooking I guess. Also a competition between the Performance of THE Cythra Hooligan Snark Queen vs. Group Spars of Fighting Fierceness, who will win?"


Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "the PJ Ball in Ravens Court just a turn northeast upon entering, or down in Shard being poisoned by Raikage, or prepping for a Peformance by THE Cythra or Group spars in Steelclaw thare are both later"


Your mind hears Selame thinking, "Group spars at the Kirm in SCC are going to be cancelled for this evening."


Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Wait, there isn't going to be a showdown between the Spars vs the Hooligans, but instead the Sparring Fighters will take the fight directly TO THE Hooligan Snark Queen Cythra? I cannot wait for this!"


Your mind hears Selame thinking, "Who are we to fight for attendance against the lovely Cythra!"


Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Shh.. Selame, you can fight to attend and cheer loudest and such... I gotta stir the pre-show dramatics!"


Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "So time to get to the Hooligan Snark Queen Cythra's Debut Redux"


Your mind hears Ghust thinking, "Where is this event at?"


Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Arthe Dale"

The Venue

[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.

Performer

Snarky Cythra Feralclaw, nee Seord Wildclaw, Word Mistress of Elanthia, a Prydaen

Cythra has wicked cat-slitted violet eyes. Her black-streaked auburn mane is very long and wavy, and is worn loose. She has glittered silver fur accented by some glittery platinum stars, a straight tail and a gracefully slender figure. She is tall for a Prydaen.

Her cheekbone has a tattoo of interlocking red, blue and black spirals forming a triskele pattern.

She is wearing a braided tri-gold wedding ring set with an amaranth Eu's promise crystal, an elegant black and auburn engagement ring displaying a molten-core diamond, a Bardic Soul Knot hair-clasp, a brushed silver locket etched with a sleeping dragon wreathed in wisps of smoke, a finespun platinum chain dangling an amethyst engagement ring, a face wrap of luxurious silverweave displaying a platinum Triquetra inset with a lightning amethyst that is loosely wound around the head and neck, some blackened wire-framed spectacles with circular lavender lenses, a bard's earring displaying a pair of linked jeweled masks for comedy and tragedy, a lavender cloak trimmed in a border of jeweled musical notes, a fiery phoenix charm displaying swirling charoite eyes, a gypsy shirt with an orchid alexadrite button, some silky black tights with a trail of night diamonds down the back seam, a gleaming platinum choker dangling a stylized eighth note charm, a heavily-boned black nightsilk corset clasped with a stormfire topaz, a blue gold triquetra armband set with sky opals and a mystic topaz, a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains, a pitted iron survival knife with a blighted gold handle, a bard's wristlet of carved onyx musical notes that flow together like a symphony, a dagged chainmail belt displaying a lightning amethyst, a starlight velvet gypsy skirt, a shimmery black songsilk garter covered in kaleidoscopic sequins, some high-heeled grey leather boots with platinum-inlaid heels and a trio of purple gold anklets threaded with lightning amethysts.

 (Cythra draws a wide-bottom mistwood guti'adar from her instrument case and hangs it from a strap across her shoulder.)

    When all I want to do is be with you."

The altar candle goes out and crumbles away.


(Cythra hums a descending line while playing a slow minor lead on the guti'adar which reflects the melody before resuming the descending chords.)


Elurora gazes at Cythra.


Cythra sings in a sopranino voice:

   "Life still moves on when you're not here.

(Cythra gets out her pretend storybook and opens it.)

Cythra recites:

   "Once upon a time (this is how you know it really happened)..."

Cythra smiles convincingly

Cythra recites:

   "There was a young woman named Salad who was not a twin."

Cythra rubs a gleaming bronze badge embossed with "Be glad I'm not a twin!".


Elurora laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Nilme smiles.


Cythra recites:

   "You might think her parents named her Salad
    Because they hated her,
    But such was not the case...  this time."

(Cythra turns a page in her pretend storybook.)

Cythra recites:

   "Half a year before Salad was born
    Her mother-to-be gazed out of her window
    Overlooking the garden of the fearsome witch next door,
    Whose name was Goethel."


Alchemy Guru Lilustra goes out.


Cythra recites:

   "She developed a craving for the greens she saw there."
 Cythra says, "I guess that's a better craving than pickles and ice cream."

Cythra recites:

   "From that point on,
    Salad's mother-to-be
    Refused all other food thinking
    Only of the greens she longed for."

Cythra recites:

   "They were so close yet completely out of reach."

Cythra recites:

   "She began to waste away
    And her husband tried everything to entice her to eat."

(Cythra turns another pretend page.)

 Cythra says, "And bewitched greens they were no doubt."

Cythra recites:

   "He tried presenting her with her favorite foods."

Cythra recites:

   "He tried tempting her with sweets."

Cythra recites:

   "He tried moving a spoon full of porridge with berries,
    Nuts and honey mixed in it towards her mouth while making zooming noises."


Nilme chuckles.

Ysindre grins.


 Cythra exclaims, "Zoooooom!"

Cythra recites:

   "He even tried making a salad
    With the best organic ingredients
    He could source locally."


Jaelia laughs!

Rezzian grins at Cythra.

Nilme appears to be trying hard not to grin.


Cythra recites:

   "Nothing persuaded his bride to eat."

(Cythra turns another page.)

Cythra recites:

   "Finally, out of his desperation to save his love,
    He snuck into Goethel's garden and
    Stole some of the greens she had growing there."


Elurora whispers, "I need to slip out early, but this was tons of fun and I'm sorry to miss the rest!"


Cythra recites:

   "Surprisingly, the greens grew back almost instantly."


Cythra whispers to Elurora, "thank you for coming"

Elurora gives a slight curtsy, barely worth the effort.

Cythra beams at Elurora!

Truthseeker Elurora goes out.


Cythra recites:

   "His wife feasted on the greens until there was nothing left but still she desired more."

Cythra recites:

   "Being a devoted husband,
    He dashed right back over to the garden
    But this time he was caught by Goethel."


Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.


Cythra recites:

   "He pled his tragic tale to her
    And, with a gleam in her eye,
    She said he could help himself to
    All the greens his wife could eat..."

Cythra recites:

   "...in exchange for their unborn child."

Cythra blinks.

Cythra recites:

   "Not being a bright man
    And willing to do anything
    To save his beloved bride
    He hastily agreed."

Cythra recites:

   "When he told his wife what he had agreed to
    She couldn't bring herself to yell at the sweet yet dense man she loved."


Valynn raises an eyebrow.

Jaelia cackles!

Cythra giggles at Jaelia.


Cythra recites:

   "It also helped that her mouth was full of fresh greens."

Ysindre grins.

Jaelia gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

(Cythra turns a page again.)


Rezzian chuckles.


Cythra recites:

   "As the days turned to weeks
    And the weeks turned to months
    The man's free time was completely occupied
    With picking greens for his wife."

Cythra recites:

   "Eventually he began constantly muttering the word "salad" repeatedly to himself."

(Cythra turns yet another page. That was pretty quick. It must have pictures.)

Cythra recites:

   "Finally the day came when the child was born."

Cythra recites:

   "Sadly, his wife did not survive the long and arduous labor..."

Cythra recites:

   "Probably because eating nothing but vegetables couldn't possibly be healthy."

Allye trills softly to herself.

Rezzian smiles at Cythra.


Cythra hums to herself.

Cythra recites:

   "The midwife asked the distraught man
    What name they had chosen for the child
    So she could write it on the Province's birth report."


Valynn grins at Cythra.

Cythra winks at Allye.

Allye grins at Cythra.

Jaelia snickers.


Cythra recites:

   "He mumbled something unintelligible."

Cythra recites:

   "She asked what he had said,
    He then shouted the word at her, "Salad!""


Rezzian chuckles.

Allye clucks her tongue and shakes her head.


Cythra recites:

   "That's why they named her Salad."


Valynn chortles softly at some secret joke.


Cythra recites:

   "It's probably a good thing
    That he didn't know the words,
    "arugula", "rampion", or "rapunzel"."


Nilme chuckles.

Cythra grins at Nilme.

Jaelia laughs!


Cythra recites:

   "That very day the witch arrived
    At their door to claim her prize.
    He relinquished the blonde
    Baby to her with a single word."

(Cythra turns the page.)


Dromond leans forward.


 Cythra says, "No, I'm not going to show you the pictures."

Dromond sighs.

Jaelia frowns.


Cythra recites:

   "Baby Salad sprouted into a pretty girl with long, golden hair."
 Cythra quietly says to herself, "Sprouted."

Cythra giggles.


Ysindre grins.

Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Cythra.


Cythra recites:

   "When she grew old enough to date
    The witch locked Salad
    In a tall tower in the forest."


Nilme appears to be trying hard not to grin.


Cythra recites:

   "The only access to the tower was through a high window."


Kethrai quietly says, "Dates are good on salads."

Cythra snickers at Kethrai.


Cythra recites:

   "When the witch visited salad she would stand below the window and call:"


Jaelia says to Kethrai, "Don't talk that way about Anuril."

Valynn grins at Kethrai.

Cythra hums to herself.


Cythra recites:

   "Salad, oh, Salad!
    Give your head a toss!
    Salad, oh Salad!
    Because I am the boss!"

Cythra tries hard not to grin.


Nilme blinks.

Allye ponders.

Ysindre grins.


Cythra recites:

   "Salad would then lower her lustrous locks
    And use her hair to haul the witch
    Up through the window."


Jaelia looks at Cythra and lets out a hearty cheer on her behalf!

Allye is giggling at Cythra.

Jaelia says to Kethrai, "That was a joke Shh now."


(Cythra turns the page.)


Cythra squints.

Cythra snickers.


Cythra recites:

   "After a few years, life in the tower became routine."

Cythra recites:

   "Salad even made up a song
    That narrated her activities
    Which consisted mostly
    Of washing her hair."
 Cythra says, "Was lotsa hair."

Cythra recites:

   "One day while riding through the forest,
    Young Prince Errol heard
    What he felt had to be
    The most beautiful sound ever."
 Cythra says, "Only one word left to use."

Cythra hums to herself.

Cythra recites:

   "He followed the sound to a tower
    And sat under the trees listening
    To the enchanting voice that came from within."

Rezzian chuckles.

Jaelia snickers.

Allye beams at Cythra! What a warm feeling!

Valynn grins like an idiot.

Allye quietly says, "Edifice."

Jaelia mutters something into the air about edifice.


Cythra recites:

   "Before long the fearsome witch arrived to visit."

Allye nods in agreement.


Cythra recites:

   "Prince Errol decided that
    Would be a good time to leave
    But as he departed
    He heard the witch call
    For Salad to let down her hair."


Cythra says to Allye, "We used tower instead."

Allye is giggling at Cythra.

Allye nods to Cythra.


Cythra recites:

   "All that night the sound of Salad's song echoed through his mind and haunted his dreams."

(Cythra turns the page.)

Cythra recites:

   "The next day he again
    Rode through the forest
    Finding himself following the path
    To the tower,
    Hoping to hear that voice again."

Cythra recites:

   "He was not disappointed
    For the song came floating gracefully
    From the tower window."

Cythra recites:

   "It was something about,
    Brush, brush, brush, and read, read, read and art, art, art."


Allye giggles.


Cythra tries hard not to grin.

Cythra recites:

   "So entranced was he that he
    Forgot to stop beneath the trees
    And rode straight up to the tower."


Jaelia laughs!

Jaelia looks at Cythra and applauds!

Cythra giggles.


Cythra recites:

   "Before he could stop himself he found himself chanting up to the window:"

Cythra recites:

   "Salad, oh Salad!
    With a meal is fine!
    Salad, oh Salad!
    With a light dressing and wine!"
 Cythra says, "Dressing."

Cythra nods emphatically.


Jaelia cackles!

Kethrai laughs!

Jaelia looks at Cythra and lets out a hearty cheer on her behalf!

Allye giggles.

Nilme chuckles.

Valynn starts chortling at Cythra!


Cythra recites:

   "The singing stopped."

Cythra recites:

   "After a moment Salad stuck her head out the window.
    "Who the hell are you," she shouted."
 Nilme holds her hand up before her mouth and begins to cough, her shoulders shaking.  Hope it's not contagious!

Cythra recites:

   ""Umm," the Prince replied absently as he stared up at her beautiful face."
 Cythra says, "Fine, I'll show you the picture..."


 Cythra smiles and turns her pretend storybook around to show everybody the pretend picture of the made-up Prince staring up at the nonexistent tower which is mostly obscured by her very real hand.


Allye laughs!

Rezzian grins at Cythra.

Ysindre grins.

Nilme appears to be trying hard not to grin.


(Cythra flips the book back around, turns an imaginary page and continues.)


Jaelia gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.


Cythra recites:

   "Before he could think of
    An intelligent response,
    Salad lofted a large rock out of the window
    Which smashed the Prince's head."


Useff says, "Yeesh."

Ysindre blinks.

Jaelia mumbles a word of general praise.

Kethrai quirks his ears outward in surprise.

Allye giggles.

Dromond quietly says, "Did not see that coming."

Valynn begins chortling at Jaelia.

The striking Prydean underneath the words has cat-slitted eyes in the same violet shade as the wild swirling violet of the background, her silver fur a stark contrast to the dark purple as her black-streaked auburn hair trails out behind her. She stands arms akimbo with a smirk on her face. In slightly smaller letters across the bottom you read "For the very second time ever! Truffandu, 14 Shorka 448"


Painted by Ysindre.
