Day off...what's a day off?

by Jinx Morrowgaze

Today was such a long day, it almost feels like it has lasted weeks. I had some ideas of how Fen and I were going to spend our day off but I NEVER would have divined today's events. That I'd be writing this entry from the Feywild in a place called Prismeer? My head is still spinning, I'm not sure I have the energy to document everything.
 
Something like Fate pulled us to a unique group (I think Lady Margarine would be pleased to know that I'm picking up more on these energies more easily), harassing Nicolas at the Will Call booth. Fen and I decided it may be best to guide them through the carnival.
 
Savy - a FAIRIE DRAGON, who is from the Feywild a place made of MAGIC (yet to be seen since its dark and we're in a swamp right now). He really enjoyed the carnival was even crowned Monarch of the Witchlight Carnival.
Hothran - a rotund Felis who loves to eat. He won the cupcake eating contest. He was very instrumental in obtaining Mr. Witch's pocket watch. (I still can't believe we blackmailed… *ahem* leveraged Mr. Witch into admitting he and Mr. Light knew about the disappearances).
Ash Fox - another Vulpin who seems to be touched by Kren (like me he may not a devout follower - but seems to have been touched enough to beguile others). He put on quite the spectacle during the Big Top Extravaganza.
Skipper - a strange, yet funny Penguin. He's very much aware of his surroundings and the possible intentions of others. I'm a bit concerned that Fen is intrigued by his claims of being a knight. I know its Fen's dream to be a great knight and I don’t want them to get their hopes up just for that mentor to be a colorful character with delusions of their own grandeur. Granted I am protective when it comes to Fen.
Clyde - an older Mapach I have deemed Sir Grumpalumpagus (He should have picked his own Pixie name. LOL). I think he sets his expectations to 0 and still finds a way to be disappointed. He has a great mind though, very smart if maybe a bit senile.
 
Summary
Dirlagraun - asked us to try and find her missing cub; Starr. Last seen around the Hall of Illusion. Dirlagraun gave me a small mirror ball toy that belonged to Starr that may help us find them. I'm still not sure how Hothran got it off me...but those sticky fingers did help later on.
Lady Margarine - divined the futures of our companions. Its SOOO amazing to watch her use her gift. I hope to be even a smidgen as talented as her. She gifted me a tarot card deck!
Kettlesteam - a follower of Zilbyna (the carnival's patron) who has been causing quite a bit of chaos at the carnival trying to get Mr. Witch and Mr. Light's attention. They told us about how Zilbyna is missing and the Hourglass Coven but in like Mr. Witch and Mr. Lights own voices. Speaking of voices I think they stole Candlefoot's. I hope he and Palasha work through this new struggle and their love is stronger for it.
Carousal - We got almost all of the names. Fen rode Bold -- I knew they would pick Bold. I obviously rode Fortune. Who told me that the one who stole my (legible) handwriting lives on a house on stilts. I can still read my handwriting, so I'm not too concerned if I don't get it back. However, if I had to guess a swamp would be a place a person would live on stilts. I’ll keep my eye out.
Hourglass Coven - apparently they are related to the weird figures we see occasionally around the carnival - Pig Mask girl and Crescent Moon girl. They are also responsible for the disappearances of people and things around the carnival and appeared around the time the Zilbyna went missing.
Mr. Witch and Mr. Light - made some kind of deal with the Hourglass Coven and frankly it hurts to think they would forsake some of our family. I think I still more time to process this. However, they did open the portal here
 
Incantation;
Hither, thither, here and there; wander yonder, show me where
 
Apparently the fey are very particular about rules of conduct and we found a sign;
Rule of Hospitality
Rule of Ownership
Rule of Reciprocity
 
I'm getting tired and a lot of the details are blurring. I may come back and add additional notes. Goodnight.
