April catch-all (OPEN)

[emet_sulk]

WHO: Emet-Selch and anyone
WHAT: Local Ascian tries to make up for his mistake with the Fisher King by leaning more heavily into his knightly duties. Also entertaining kids at the CameCon.
WHEN: April
WHERE: Around Camelot
WARNINGS: Nudity for the spa prompt, see individual threads for warnings


1. No R&R for the wicked 🗡️ (warning: nudity)

Disappearing guests seems like the lead-in to a banal sort of quest, but Emet-Selch figures that it may well be easy enough to complete for that same reason. He presents himself to the new spa at the Red Springs, using his totem to travel there quickly. But there is one thing he had not anticipated.

It is a nude spa.

Unfortunately, once he steps over the threshold, all his clothes simply whisk away without warning. He's left utterly bare-cheeked, and not even the towels he tries to grab to wrap around his waist stay for long. They, too, disappear into thin air.

So you may see him complaining angrily to the receptionist ("What do you mean my clothes are GONE?") or you may see him sitting sullenly in the corner of one of the baths. At least in the water, he doesn't have to worry about being ogled. In spite of his humiliation, he does try to keep an eye on the comings and goings of staff and guests. Like it or not, he's in dangerous territory now and he refuses to fall prey to the same fate as all the others.

2. CameCon

Whilst the convention hall is buzzing with activity, one may notice a man surrounded by younger children who seem to be alternately 'ooh'ing in awe and clamouring for his attention. Stepping closer reveals that these collective children are offering Emet-Selch their toys and figurines and begging him to animate them.

"Please!"
"Me next!"
"Mine too!"

He looks mildly stressed, yet he patiently takes each one and places it above a sigil drawn in chalk on the floor. A brief flash and the figurine begins to move of its own accord. The child it belongs to would gasp and the rest of them would crowd around to watch as their heroes mock-fought one another across the floor.

Emet-Selch tiredly sits back on his heels, taking advantage of the brief reprieve. Perhaps his eyes find yours. If they do, he looks away quickly, as if embarrassed to be caught entertaining children.

3. Wildcard - #KnightsofRound edition
