[It's another very beautiful day in the Adlrip, in shining warm and high and the market place is busting with action. People are definitely going crazy with the discounts and other sales. Well, Juri, being slave to vanity and opulence, is no different. She can be seen going through the stalls, picking up different kind of items from scarfs to jewellery. But at least she isn't interested in haggling with the prices? And it's definitely not done to flaunt her wealth, of course!
She's picking different necklaces from the vendor, modeling them against her own neck, when she comes across a golden rose-shaped locket. The bright green eyes widens and her mind goes blank as the strong scent of roses suddenly invade her senses -- filling her body with awful dread and making her skin crawl.
For some reason... she feels like this is something very important, but she can't quite put her finger on it. So, excuse as she spaces out right there like in middle of busy street in broad daylight??
The chain of the necklace slips along her long fingers, the weight of the locket pulling it and making it drop on the ground with a gentle "cling". Juri blinks, looks down and oh-- in the place of the locket there is just a regular golden flower ornament.
What even...]
b - catch that meddling fairy!
[Shopping isn't the only business that Juri has at the marketplace. Her family's business is also there to showcase the newest products and designs. It'd only be foolish for Jewelry Show not to try capitalize on these brand on new gems!
..But unfortunately, none of the regal rings, elegant earrings, brilliant brooches and other gems are safe from the mischievous fairies. Getting past the protecting glass case was no problem for them, tempting them to try out their luck. Juri had caught more than a few jewellery floating away -- and somehow she doubts that's all that there's to it.
Which has led her to actually get people to catch the fairies.. Or attempt to, at least?]
Your task is to prevent any of the fairies getting close to our stall, and to return any possible items they might have managed to steal from us. Use any methods you see necessary, and what you do with them is no concern of mine. Any questions?
Let's Play a Game
a - in the light
[The casino might be a sudden and new establishment in the Aldrip, but Juri is still carying herself like an old timer. She's wearing a crimson tuxedo, walking around with a drink in her hand like she owns the damn place. She can be seen casually chatting with the other patrons, the lavender painted lips curled into a mild yet polite smile.
The smile wavers a little when a staff member approaches her and whispers something in her ear. Huh, what was that? Never mind it! Juri straightens her posture, flips the fat curls over her shoulder and places her now empty glass on the tray.
Anyway, eventually she makes her way to the gambling tables. She watches the people play, slamming cards on the table and exchanging chips, tossing dice and what have you. Then, when the current round ends and people stand to leave she slides on the vacant seat.]
So, what do we have here? [She asks with a teasing voice, head tilting slightly to her side.] Cards or dice, pick your poison.
b - in the dark
[The sun has already set and it's long into the night. Somewhere away from the prying eyes, a sharp ringing sound of swords clashing echoes along the walls of the maze of alleyways. In the safety of the darkness there's a nest where the illegal fighting ring has their stronghold. And, look at that! It seems like it's a match night!
Weapons, bare hands, solo, tag teams -- anything goes! As long names are kept out of it, of course. No one needs to know just who attends there and not. Those would only make everything too complicated.
Right now, in the circle there are two fighters with swords -- both with a slim and feminine-looking build. While the other has only covered their face with a paint, the other one wears a mask that looks a quite lot like a fencing helmet. There are some red curls peeking from underneath it. Wielding a rapier the masked fighter moves fast and ruthlessly, seemingly not caring too much of the proper rules of fencing. Given a chance they do not seem to hesitate to kick other person's feet nor using her free hand to push them around when they get close to opponent's personal space.
They really live up to their nickname: The Beautiful Leopard.
Most of it is just for the show, as one can guess. And the crowd is eating it up, cheering and booing at every dirty move -- depending on who they've bet on. But everything needs to come to an end. With a one quick move the masked fighter manages to send their opponent's sword fly off. Oops, the audience better watch out! But that concludes the match. Some cheer and some curse, as is to be expected, coins are exchanged and part of the crowd disperses.
The masked fighter themselves turns to look at the people surrounding them and extends their arm out, beckoning a new challenger step up.]
