🧙 WHO: Stella and uh, everyone!
⚔️️ WHAT: Getting back on my bullshit after my hiatus with a May catchall, featuring monthly quests and TDM prompts! There's some open prompts below ~~but I also have a header I'll be using for closed starters and such through the month~~ I LIED I'M JUST ADDING THEM TO THE BODY OF THE MAIN POST
🕒 WHEN: Through May
🗺️ WHERE: All over Avalon
⚠️ WARNINGS: Nothing off the top of my head, but I'll edit this if something comes up!

Honey Over Vinegar (TDM) – first week of May

[ Trees that grow cute cookies ripe for the pickin' isn't exactly the wildest thing that Stella's seen in Avalon so far, but it is probably the thing that has inspired the most glee in her. Because... come on. Picking cookies from trees. It's straight up like something out of a picture book for kids. She loves it.

She's pretty diligent about picking as many as she can, with the novelty of picking cookies off trees being more than enough to keep her on task. It's taking an absolutely herculean effort to not crunch down some of these cookies, though, and partway into the tournament, her stomach gives a pretty hearty rumble and she whines to herself. ]

[ Stella manages, presumably, not to starve out there and drags herself through the rest of the tournament without too much fuss. The instant she gets the okay to start eating cookies, though? Homf. She hoovers up like three or four of them at top speed. She's starving.

Fortunately, she not quite greedy enough to demolish all those cookies by herself, so she'll be sidling up to people through the rest of the day, brandishing her basket of cookies at them. ]

Holo, Goodbye (Quest) – second week of May

[ The idea of a rainbow-coloured holographic river full of fairies is so comically Stellacore that she probably would've been off like a shot the instant she heard about this regardless. But the details of the quest are what really give her pause. She's made some good friends here in Avalon and having somebody not just from home but another one of the Prism Maidens here has done a lot to keep her on an even keel. But then sometimes she sees stuff like this and thinks... wow, she misses home. She really misses her dad.

So it's that more than anything, really, that gets her down to the riverbed. She's got a bag for collecting cool rocks and her phone ready for taking pictures and videos and she's ready to go all out. If you happen to be hanging around as well, prepare to have Stella suddenly pop up in your vicinity, looking charged up and determined. ]

[ You heard the girl.

When she's not going through rocks to try and find the One Perfect Rock to return to the quest giver and her grandma, she's darting around, taking photos and videos here there and everywhere to try and capture as much of the phenomenon as she can. In fact, she gets so enthused about it that in the midst of trying to get a particularly Cool Shot, she looses her footing on the rocks she's balanced herself on and just sort of pratfalls right into the river with an enormous sploosh. Idol down! ]

Phoenix Roost – all through May

[ If you're a regular at the Phoenix Roost then Stella will very quickly have become a familiar face with how often she turns up to drink fancy coffee, eat baked goods and leech off the wifi. She'll park herself in an out-of-the-way table for the day and tappy-tap away at the secondhand laptop she's picked up but it's not entirely clear what she's working on, given that she tends to keep to herself a bit while she's here.

Usually she seems like she's having a relatively okay time, but right now it seems like whatever little project she's working on has been stalled. She's staring deadeyes at her screen with a furrowed brow and furiously chewing on the straw for her disgustingly sugary drink in a futile attempt to redirect her frustration.

Eventually she grooooaaans and scoots her chair back a bit so she can rub at her eyes. Evidently, staring down whatever she's doing isn't actually solving whatever problem she's having. She looks around the cafe and immediately upon spotting someone In Range, she begins to wave them over. ]

[ She tilts her laptop screen back a bit to give a better view of her work. It's a poster or a flyer or something called the "Avalon Performers Association" that lists some days and times and information and all that good stuff about the little group Stella's been putting together.

It's... serviceable, but the fact that she's gone for a rainbow colour scheme, even one in pastel, is a little much. It definitely has some Graphic Design Is My Passion energy. ]

w-w-wildcard

[ Feel free to wing me a wildcard prompt below! In addition, if you'd like to hit me up for a closed prompt or anything like that, catch me on discord or at

superorbital! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Like, a handful, I guess? It'd feel kind of overkill to turn up with a bunch of them so maybe I'll just say... I dunno, five. That feels like a good number.

[ She's idly sorting through stones as she speaks, inspecting them and tossing them aside without missing a beat. ]

I wanna see if I can put them in a cool box too, like a jewelry box? Just to make them look extra pretty, so they'll have to fit in that.

[ To that, Somnus nods his acknowledgement and begins to work, using his kinetic abilities to lift some rocks out of the riverbank. While he has no keen eye for aesthetics, he can, at the very least, assist in this quest, and gather up the more unique-seeming stones and pass them to her for her approval.

For the most part, he remains his usual silent self.

But there is a brief pause in his work when he happens to kinetically lift a geodic indigo-blue stone out from the water. ]

One wonders how these holographic properties come to be.

They're really cool, huh?

[ The somber task has Stella at about 70% sunshine down from her usual 150% but that's enough for her to give Somnus a little grin regardless. ]

I think it must be something kinda like light magic... they're sorta glamored, right?

[ She lifts up one of the stones and holds it close to her face, turning it over like she might be able to get a better feel for the magic that way. ]

But it wears off pretty quick... wonder why.

[ 150% of stella-grade cheerfulness is 500% too much for Somnus on a good day.

...But he notices the difference. Still, it isn't his place to comment, and he places the stone he's found upon the pile. ]

Such fading light gives it value.

[ Thoughtfully; ] Yeah... like, they're cool, but if you could just see them any time of the year it'd be less exciting.

It's kinda like – uh, do you have cherry blossom trees where you're from? Is that a thing?

[ She's learned not to assume that kind of thing anymore. ]
