Once Upon a Witchlight | Ep. 14 | Sashay Away

Morning Frost (0:01)

Greetings, you're listening to Legends of Avantris. My name is Morning Frost, and this is Once Upon a Witchlight.

Here's what happened last time.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

All the while, you are thinking about your friend Gideon, who is locked away in a pixie hospital. It is after the mine that you decide to make your way towards something that has been ever present at this carnival.

The Sounds of the Kalaipi, as it plays throughout your adventures here, where you will have to make your way back towards the ticket booth, because you're all just going to turn into a ladder.

SPEAKER_3 (0:34)

Kremi, are you all right?

SPEAKER_4 (0:35)

You fell down real hard.

SPEAKER_6 (0:41)

I look like I stepped out of Spear Hallowen.

SPEAKER_7 (0:43)

We're all a bunch of eladrin sex pets.

SPEAKER_8 (0:53)

I wish to make a fey pact for more tickets.

SPEAKER_9 (0:57)

Thanks for the ticket, my good man!

SPEAKER_10 (0:59)

You're welcome, bro.

SPEAKER_4 (1:00)

May the wind under your wings never falter.

SPEAKER_2 (1:03)

Brett out.

A mermaid lounges in a giant bowl, singing a glorious, haunting song that captivates spectators on the lake shore. You can hear the sounds of whimpering and crying. She's clearly in distress. This is clearly Palasha's home and where she spends her time when she's not performing.

SPEAKER_4 (1:21)

I'm dumb as a rock.

SPEAKER_11 (1:28)

And so this kenku has stolen Candlefoot's voice. If you want more information about what's going on, I do believe that dear Legrand might have that information.

You can find her at Lost Property.

SPEAKER_12 (1:39)

I feel like we need to wait for Gideon to visit Mrs. Kittywhiskers.

SPEAKER_2 (1:43)

Make your way across the river and begin heading towards the bubble pot teapot, a gaggle of pixies rushes towards you.

SPEAKER_13 (1:51)

Oh God, honey, honey, we have amazing news.

SPEAKER_2 (2:05)

Gideon has awoken.

And is in this moment that you are surrounded by these talkative pixies, as they're all yelling and speaking over each other, as they celebrate the fact that Gideon is awake. He has been moved to a, he has been removed from the pixie hospital. Pixie Fixie was able to work his magic and resolve whatever issue had caused Gideon to fall unconscious after he was thrown viciously from the back of Pinecone the pug, the unicorn pug.

And he has been moved to the medical station closest to Pixie Kingdom of the human size. And they begin to make their way through the streets of the Witchlight Carnival, leading you in that direction. They're all chatting furiously, but you are not pixie size. And you notice that though you did understand that Gideon was awake and the instructions you were given, that they're now talking over each other so quickly and it's such a high pitch, you have no idea what they're saying. They sound like squealing, grating, uncomfortable music notes that dogs hate and bark at.

SPEAKER_10 (3:25)

And that's what's happening as you're being led towards Gideon.

SPEAKER_12 (3:34)

I mean, I'm in bliss.

SPEAKER_14 (3:46)

Look, we didn't make any kind of contractual obligations, did we? This was all verbal, right?

SPEAKER_8 (3:50)

Well, it's fae business, I believe that's contractual obligations.

Morning Frost (3:54)

Yes, it's probably contractual obligations.

SPEAKER_14 (3:57)

Do you think contracts can override verbal agreements?

Morning Frost (4:01)

Yes.

SPEAKER_14 (4:02)

All right.

Morning Frost (4:05)

You can make an amendment, for example. You can make a new contract that just invalidates the verbal agreement.

SPEAKER_6 (4:15)

Are the suing to be brides with us too?

SPEAKER_2 (4:18)

No.

SPEAKER_14 (4:20)

Excuse me, mother of the bride, of which I do not know her name.

SPEAKER_2 (4:24)

The mothers of the brides aren't here either, it's just the bridesmaids.

SPEAKER_14 (4:26)

The bridesmaids of the bride of who I do not know her name. One, what is her name? Two, my name's Kamala Krew, I love unicorns.

And three-

SPEAKER_2 (4:34)

I'm pretty sure you were marrying Zaxi.

SPEAKER_10 (4:37)

Did I ever learn her name?

Morning Frost (4:38)

That sounds right.

SPEAKER_2 (4:39)

Bixi and Zaxi, yeah.

Morning Frost (4:56)

One moment.

SPEAKER_14 (4:56)

At this point, I don't see a way out.

Morning Frost (4:58)

It may just be the way that they speak. I'll try communicating telepathically.

Can you tell my friend through me, just think the answer to his question.

SPEAKER_16 (5:09)

Yeah, well, what's his question again?

Morning Frost (5:11)

He was asking, what was your question again?

SPEAKER_14 (5:14)

I was asking, when can I see my patrols?

Morning Frost (5:16)

When can he see his patrols, his beloved?

SPEAKER_2 (5:18)

Oh, you can't, he can't see the bride before the wedding, that's bad luck.
