UPDATE: PLEASE READ
Entries have been rolling in, Lambicorns of all sizes and shapes have been ejoying the festivities, and despite a little bit of trouble brewing, this little site has remained relatively calm. But all good things can come to an end...
After a long day of exploring with Aronia and seeing various outfits, Meeni was exhausted. She bid farewell to Aronia and returned to the camper she and her family lived in together. Upon entering her room, she removed her mask, set it on the nightstand, and approached her bed. Carefully placed on top of her pillow was an intricately carved wooden chest. It was small and sturdy, truly a piece of art. In awe of the object, she lifted the lid, even more entranced at the object it contained.
“Wow!” Meeni murmured in excited amazement, “I have to show Mom!” With that thought in mind, she carried the box out to Leana. “Ma, look! Isn’t this cool! It even matches my costume!”
Leana peered inside the box with an odd expression on her face. “Uhm. Meeni. Where did you get this?”
“Oh, it was on my bed when I got home. Isn’t it cool?” Meeni reached in the box and grabbed the black chained necklace and looped it around her neck. As she spun around to show Leana, the smile fell from her face. “Mom?” She croaked, her throat tight at the sight of her mother standing completely frozen before her. Like a china doll, the fright in her eyes was permanently etched into Meeni’s soul.
“What? What is happening?” Meeni stumbled backwards only to realize that everyone BUT her was frozen. Even the leaves blowing in the wind were stuck midair like they were suspended by wires. “It. It must be this necklace. I-I don’t know how but it has to be!” Meeni yanked the necklace off, snapping the chain, and threw it onto the ground, aggressively stomping on the gemstone it held until it cracked and finally broke.

“The Faire is open, the air is chilly, and your eyes are wide with wonder and excitement. I can’t blame you, I’m excited too!” You turn your head at the high-pitched voice, unsure if it’s speaking to you. “Hi there!” A midsize Lambaby beamed up at you, her eyes filled with their own excitement as she grabs your paw/hoof and drags you over to a booth where various other Lambies are mingling. “Look, Ma! I found another one!!” she shouts towards a dark grey Lambicorn with pink and yellow hair, presumably her mother.
The Lambicorn in question smiled dotingly at the little one as it let go and bounded off to find its next victim. “Hi, I’m Leana,” the Lambicorn spoke up softly, drawing your attention away from the little ball of energy. “Well. Uhm. That was Eeni and she’s helping bring people here to our little site.” You take a glance around, noting various pieces of costume, clothing, wigs, and makeup scattered around a set of foldable tables. Nearby was a few full-body size mirrors and a tent with a sign in front that read “occupied.”
“That’s the changing room,” Leana remarked, nodding in the direction you were just looking. She walked over to the foldable tables and flashed a shy smile. “This is where the magic happens. Heh. Here, you can make your own costume to wear for the duration of the event or just for fun if you’d like. When it’s ready, you can go to the changing room to try it on and then come show me. If I love the outfit, I might give you a little treat, but sometimes a trick. It’s a surprise.” She giggled nervously before continuing, “At the end of the event, there will be a big costume contest for a grand prize too! I’m really excited for that part.”
Leana hesitated, unsure of what else to say as she shifted from paw to paw in an awkward little dance. “Uhmmmmmm. I think that’s everything. Oh- yeah. I’m not the only judge or that wouldn’t be fair, right? The whole family will help judge the costumes, so you can bring it to whichever one of us you prefer.” Her smile visually warms as she points out each member of her family to you.
“I’m Leana. I think I already said that? I don’t remember. Heh. Anyways, over there is Eeni, you already met her. She likes glitter, fairies, wings, halos, and cutesy stuff like that. And of course my lifemate, Damien is over by the mirrors there. He likes the spooky, oddball stuff.”
Leana turns her doe eyes back to you when she finishes her little speech, smiling with only a twinge of her usual nervousness. You can tell that talking about her family relaxed her a bit. “You can get started any time you want and remember to have fun with it. There is no wrong answer.”
Haven’t you been here before..? Why are you here again? And something feels off... It’s some sort of deja vu? You keep these thoughts and the nervousness you’re feeling to yourself, instead deciding to go along with it. I suppose since they don’t mind, you can make a second outfit? But to be safe, maybe you should mention this to Sybil at the daily bonfire.
