You tell Benicia 'It erupted into one a bit after you had gone.'
Benicia tells you 'Noooooooo.'
You tell Benicia 'You don't think so?'
You stand up.
Temple of Light | You are standing in the Temple of Light. The temple is | made of huge slabs of marble, covered with carved dragons, *-* | seemingly to radiate the essence of goodness. This temple | | is where the various gods of goodness can be worshipped.

[Exits: east south up] A silver plaque is here, emitting a solemn white aura.
Benicia tells you 'I'm saaaaaaad! I missed it, waaaaah!'
You say '...poor thing.'
You say '..she really sounds upset.'
You tell Benicia 'Oh don't let it put you in a slump. There'll definitely be more similar, or better-to.'
You remove a wheel of cheese from your head. You wear a runed wizard hat on your head.

Benicia tells you 'That...that wasn't gonna be the only party ever?'

Benicia tells you 'Oh.'
Benicia tells you 'Yay!'
You tell Benicia '*chortle* You're so open, it's delightful.'
You smirk.
North Square B-+-* | You are at the North Square of Seringale. It is peaceful | | | and quiet here. The square is a large opening space surrounded S-+ *-o| by grand buildings made by fanciful stonework. You see | | the Main Street to the north and the south and the North +-+-@-+-+| Road to the east and the west. A small tuft of grass | | || pokes up defiantly in the middle of the square. A set S-+ F +| of dents shaped curiously like one's rear end has been | || well-worn into the paving stones here. +-S-+-F +| ---------+
[Exits: north east south west] A brass finger post stands here. The Herald Bulletin Board gleams majestically in the middle of the square.
Benicia tells you 'Wanna hear a song?'
You tell Benicia 'Sure. Can you sing from that far away without fumbling a note?'
<HERALD> Cyprian gossips: 'I think congratulations are in order, Duke Frewan.'
<NOBLE> Frewan gossips: 'What for?'
The night is about to end.
Benicia tells you 'You're so silly! I'm not gonna shoutsing it!'
<HERALD> Cyprian gossips: 'You're both patron and noble. You weren't sure one could be both at one time.'
<NOBLE> Frewan gossips: 'Haha yeah I was able to do both!'
<NOBLE> Frewan gossips: 'Best of both worlds.'
Frewan walks in. An illusion of the battlemage walks in. An illusion of an Archer walks in. An illusion of a Paladin walks in. Frewan walks in. Frewan walks in. Frewan walks in.
Frewan bows deeply.
<NOBLE> Frewan gossips: 'Brumblwitz! What be you doing?'
You tell Benicia 'Sorry, I was interrupted. So you won't be shouting it then?'
Benicia tells you 'Nooooo!'
<HERALD> Odile the Crier: 'Farewell Brumblwitz, may the winds guide you to a swift return.'
You say 'Oh..good morning.'
You shake your head.
You shake your head.
Frewan pokes you in the ribs.
Frewan in a tiny squeak of a voice 'You ok.'
You say 'I dozed awake. Sorry I missed our arrival.'
You tell Benicia 'Well, whenever we run into each other, sing to your heart's content.'
You say 'Between wheels of cheese, making up for backpay on gnome brains...and...'
Frewan walks in. Frewan walks in. Frewan walks in. Frewan walks in.
You tell Benicia 'Sing, sing, sing and THEN sing.'
You say 'I fell short of three excuses by a matter of one.'
Frewan lets out a hearty laugh.
Flittering and Fluttering, giggling and cackling, this teensy tiny being's quick agility is almost tiring to watch. His unruly hair is chestnut in color with sun bleached streaks throughout, he has large eyes that twinkle with a brightness only born of mischief and joy of life. This creature's tiny body is not at all proportional, he has a very round belly that stretches his skin tight and makes flight difficult. Small hands and feet round out this tiny creature and makes him one of the stranger things you will see today. He has just opened up his eyes to the world. Frewan is in excellent condition.
Frewan is using: <STUFF>
You say 'So how's the nobility treating you?'
Frewan says 'So so, people keep trying to kill me but I'm not easy to kill.'
Frewan says 'Not very strong but I hide really well!'
You say 'Certainly don't look like you're easy to smash.'
Benicia tells you 'Yaaaaay!'
Frewan says 'They always want to smash the little pixied.'
The sky is getting cloudy.
Frewan says 'Pixie.'
You tell Benicia 'How long's it been since you sang for someone?'
You frown disapprovingly.
You say 'I happen to like pixies.'
Frewan says 'Me too!!!!'
Benicia tells you 'No one ever not even one little time.'
You say 'If they don't excrete evil.'
You snort derisively.
You tell Benicia 'Well, if I've ever got the time and you're inclined, feel free.'
You say 'So some nobles were trying to go after you.'
Frewan says 'No, mostly those of the darkness.'
Frewan says 'They see us nobles as easy prey.'
You say 'Oh, that's good that I misunderstood.'
Benicia tells you 'I wannnna!'
You say '"Easy" prey.'
You say 'It's true some might have a silver spoon over their eyes...but it's grossly negligent to assume all do.'
You tell Benicia 'Then by all means.'
You tell Benicia 'You have to find me first, though...'
Frewan says 'I couldn't agree more.'
You say 'Are there any in there that were already high-born?'
Benicia tells you 'I'll do it!'
Frewan says 'I am not sure, I have not seen many nobles around.'
You tell Benicia 'I won't move an inch this time around.'
You sigh.
You say '..I know you must be absolutely THRILLED about that..'
You are filled with serenity by the prayer.
Frewan says 'It's boring at times during social events.'
You say 'For an illusionist to say that is pretty...'
You mutter quietly to yourself.
You say '..though, a pixie saying it isn't so surprising.'
You say 'You aren't an easy crowd, I've heard.'
Frewan says 'Ha! we just like to have fun.'
Frewan says 'And to be respected.'
You nod.
Vogle walks in.
Vogle sits down and rests.
You say 'That's a fair desire...'
Vogle looks at Frewan.
Benicia walks in.
You say 'And nothing about it too demanding in the least.'
Benicia says 'Um...'

Someone makes vogle say 'Benicia is ugly.'

Vogle stands up.
Frewan says 'Not at all.'
Benicia looks at you.
You smile at her.
Benicia says 'This one!'
Benicia hugs you.
Vogle sits down and rests.
Cyprian raises his hands in the air.
Someone makes vogle say 'Benicia kissed me earlier.'
Benicia says 'Nuh uh!'
You say to Benicia 'You found me.'
Vogle says 'I love you Benicia' Benicia says 'I didn't kiss no one.'
You raise your eyebrow at Vogle.
You say to Vogle 'A bit fast on the moves, aren't we?'
Benicia peers around herself intently.
Vogle says 'Always quick.'
Vogle grins evilly at you. Hmmm. Better keep your distance.
Someone makes vogle say 'Will you marry me?'
You bury your face in your palm with a sigh.
Vogle says 'Anyone want to play cards?'
Benicia covers the room with golden dust. A beggar's punch misses Benicia. Benicia starts glowing from the pixie dust. Benicia's feet rise off the ground. The Gods protect Vogle from Benicia.

Benicia's slash hits a beggar.
Vogle stands up.
Benicia pouts.

Vogle's cleave MASSACRES a beggar! A beggar is DEAD!! A beggar hits the ground ... DEAD. Vogle gets a gold coin from the corpse of a beggar. Vogle sacrifices the corpse of a beggar to The Overlord.
Vogle sits down and rests.
You say 'Difference between quick and time-effective suave.'
You say 'You literally may as well have thrown a plate of melted butter on her face.'
Someone makes vogle say 'I will keep house for you Benicia'
Benicia sniffs sadly.
<HERALD> Odile the Crier: 'The winds welcome your return, Brumblwitz the Sage of Arcane Power.'
Vogle says 'Nerve swimmer.'
Vogle says 'I will worship your feet.'
Benicia hides behind the Herald's neck.
Cyprian looks behind himself, then...
You peer intently at Vogle.
Vogle says 'and kiss your eyes....'
Benicia groans loudly.
Benicia says 'Nooooooo!'
Brumblwitz walks in.
Brumblwitz sits down and rests.
Brumblwitz gallantly tips his hat.

You raise your eyebrow at Vogle.
Brumblwitz points at himself proudly.
Vogle says 'I like dolls.'
Vogle says 'Creepy.'
Vogle nods at you in agreement.
You say to Brumblwitz 'Good afternoon, friend.'
Cyprian blinks sl ow l y...
Brumblwitz smiles happily. Someone makes vogle say 'and eyelids.'
Brumblwitz snickers softly.
You say 'I don't believe this pixie is a doll.'

Benicia says 'WhaaAAAAT?'
You say 'Translation: "I'm your stalker."'
Krug walks in.
Benicia shudders at the horror and represses tears.
Krug sits down and rests.
A man who is slumped over and grayish pale stands here. His hair is draped over his body lifeless and black as the night. Two glowing red eyes glare out at the world peering indifferently around. His body looks frail almost as if he hasn't eaten or refuses to eat food. His crooked smile brings a cold chill up your spine. He has led a sheltered life. Vogle is in excellent condition.

Benicia says 'Think he gonna?'
You say 'Probably not.'
Benicia sniffs sadly.
Benicia says 'He scary.'
