Crysania sent out an Assemble! call. She’s also been grinning for a while now, so the buzz around Quinland is high! Once again, Crysania climbs up the ramp near the Dye Trader to huge cheers. The Banners of the Orders are unfurled all at the same time and the Common Area is deafeningly loud with cheers and whistles of all in attendance.
Crysania: As most of us know by now, not all henchmen and heroes are treated equally. While Tahlkora may go on most combat sorties, poor little Henchman 1 doesn’t.
Henchman 1 yells: Yeah! What the @#$%!
Lots of laughter gets directed at the pouting Henchman 1.
Crysania continues: The Henchmen have not been sitting idly by doing nothing!
Dandd yells: Really?
Half the room laughs again while the other half begins grumbling loudly.
Crysania regains the crowd’s attention: We, starting tomorrow, will have a Music Festival on the Zeal Islands!
The banners hanging from the ceiling vibrate with the volume of roars and cheers.
Crysania: It will be Four Stages, SIMULTANEOUSLY!
The energy in the Guild Hall is almost tangible.
Crysania: This Henchman and Hero produced show will divide genres onto four stages; there will be something for everyone. Even you, Nyx!
All eyes turn to the Berner clan gathering, where Nyx has “What? Why Me?!” written all over her face.
Balreth was the first to break the silence with laughter, quickly followed by the rest of the guild hall.
Georgia barked disapprovingly.
Nyx: Yeah, Really.
Crysania: After the 22 Song show is over at each stage, there will be a Finale.
More cheering.
Crysania: The Neveah Clan has authorized the Order of the Stuff to set up shops for refreshments and Hoolefest Costume Pieces.
A foundation rocking roar echoed within the cavernous guild hall.
Dandd leans in towards Crysania: I bet everyone in the mists heard that one.
Crysania beams brightly!
Crysania: My Costume piece is free!
Grace nods enthusiastically, but a Stuff Henchmen sighs and rolls her eyes.
Crysania’s Icy hands began to melt, and the noise of the crowd rose with the amount of glowing blue.
That Henchman, clutching its neck in panic, was lifted above the crowd and brought to the center for all to see.
Dandd, playfully, yells: Who’s the finale act?
Crysania: Well, we have Dense Metal Dirigible.
The crowd cheers a bit.
Crysania begins placing more pressure on the flailing, floating, henchman.
The anticipation for what everyone already knows is growing.
Simon and Spike join Crysania up on the ramp.
The crowd’s stored energy can’t build much more.
SuperSania Growls: MURDERDEATHQUIN!
The henchman ceases to struggle and its corpse is the first crowd surfer of Hoolefest 006.
The Crowd Chants: MURDER-DEATH-QUIN! MURDER-DEATH-QUIN!
After a bit of chanting, Crysania calms the crowd down: Each Stage’ Playlist is posted out of Wiki, and is on the costume piece.
The Crowd Cheers, before gets very quiet as hairs on necks stand on attentions. All eyes shift back to Crysania very carefully.
Crysania need not yell: If I find out –any—of you did –anything—to wiki, or Clan Neveah’s stands – you will be either Menagerie Food, Sniper Target Practice, or my Personal Dummy. Maybe all three. Understand?
A hush falls over the crowd.
Crysania smiles again: Now Lets enjoy some good Rock and Roar.
The reactionary Roar almost knocked Dandd off his feet.
Crysania yells: Quin or Quit!
The Assembled crowd returned the salute, and turned to their officers for further guidance.
Crysania turns to Dandd: I’m @#$%ing serious, My Costume Piece better be free.
Dandd laughs: Come then, lets grab some before they’re sold out.
Simon chips in: We come from the land of the ice and roar.
Spike continues: From the midnight sun where the hot springs roar.
Dandd: I gotta get on this roarwagon sooner or later.
Crysania agrees loudly, and they wade into the crowd to get their costume pieces.
