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 a wooden menuboard, a polished wooden bar with several things on it, some wooden stairs and an open doorway.

Performer

You see Moon Warrior Allye Karayilma, Treasurer of the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, a Prydaen.
Allye has a set of mischievously twitching whiskers accenting a square face, pointed ears and some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her bright cat-slitted turquoise eyes. Her raven mane is very long and glossy with stark white streaks at the temple, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has tawny fur, a black-tipped tail and a limberly agile figure. She is petite for a Prydaen.

Her left wrist has a tattoo of a sea-blue jellyfish with delicate silver-tinged tentacles.

Outfit One
She is wearing a striking lavaliere dangling a shard of crystallized lightning ensconced in delicately draped chains, a storm grey samite pull-through wrap, a dark blue steelsilk gown with tightly bound sleeves, a pair of fingerless lace gloves tinted a stormy grey hue and some steelsilk footwraps.

Outfit Two
She is wearing a knitted yellow wool headband, an orange and yellow-hued full body mango costume and some knitted sunset-orange wool legwarmers.

Outfit Three
She is wearing some heavy blackened moonsilver earrings cradling nightfire opals, a wide filigree choker of blackened moonsilver inlaid with large nightfire opals, an abyssal black Imperial weave battle gown with blackened moonsilver epaulets and a wide leather anklet set with a large nightfire opal.

Outfit Four
She is wearing a coral crown strung with strands of deep green seaweed, a pale blond wig braided with strands of azure sea kelp and a mermaid costume with modestly positioned sea shells and a seaglass-spangled tail.

Outfit Five
You are wearing some cherry blossom combs accented with pearls, a floor-length gown of dark violet nightsilk with flowing bell-shaped sleeves, a cherry blossom bracelet cascading with clusters of mother-of-pearl blooms and some high-heeled violet nightsilk slippers.

Her raven mane is very long and glossy with stark white streaks at the temple, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has tawny fur, a black-tipped tail and a limberly agile figure. She is petite for a Prydaen. Her left wrist has a tattoo of a sea-blue jellyfish with delicate silver-tinged tentacles.

Whispered dreams call out to me,
They lead me out to sea...

And listen close, for even you,

That tug towards the cold and dark
Into the briny sea."

His mother so proud of course he endowed
With a grand knoll on Tanglefoot Row."

"But somehow he still felt yet unfulfilled,
The trophies seemed dull on their shelf,
He wandered away down to quiet Arthe Bay,
Leaving his centipede steed to itself."

Towards wonder and awe again steered."

"But the Merelew crowd, first raucous and loud,
Gazed silent with unblinking eyes,
He faltered a bit, so different was it
From the familiar smiles, cheers, and cries."

You are Moon Warrior Allye Karayilma, Treasurer of the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, a Prydaen. Allye has a set of mischievously twitching whiskers accenting a square face, pointed ears and some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her bright cat-slitted turquoise eyes. Her raven mane is very long and glossy with stark white streaks at the temple, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over your shoulders. She has tawny fur, a black-tipped tail and a limberly agile figure. She is petite for a Prydaen.
Your left wrist has a tattoo of a sea-blue jellyfish with delicate silver-tinged tentacles.

She is wearing some cherry blossom combs accented with pearls, a floor-length gown of dark violet nightsilk with flowing bell-shaped sleeves, a cherry blossom bracelet cascading with clusters of mother-of-pearl blooms and some high-heeled violet nightsilk slippers.

"You came to me at the flushed end of spring.
As days grew long, your song took wing.
Your voice engulfed me, as heady as wine,
Like the warmth of your hand as it found mine."

Eurynomile gives Cythra a relaxed smile and sighs contentedly.

Eurynomile says, "Oo romatics..."

Eurynomile sighs.

Allye lovingly sings in a soprano voice:

"I was yours in those mornings bright with berries and dew,
Every fear, every scar, your song healed yet anew.
We would tumble and fumble, quite like children at play,
But somehow we'd land, entangled, soft and safe."

Eurynomile nods.

Cythra fans herself.

Elurora quietly asks Aetheline, "What's a twee?"

Aetheline ponders.

(Allye closes her eyes and bends over her instrument, her voice soft and plaintive.)

Remind me how we used to be."

"Where we once lay is now banked deep in snow,
The blithe sun that kissed our eyes, here barely aglow.
Your song has left this place, flown off all too soon,
And left me retracing our steps to remember its tune."

Elurora quietly says to Aetheline, "Ooooh."

Aetheline nods to Elurora.
