The Harlequins of Brandobaris present:
The Tripple H Storytelling Union

Come on down to The Singing Sun Inn, Ceyren's Mill, Caraigh, for tales of joy, woe, tragedy, and folly.

Each week we will have an open stage for anyone willing to share a story, a joke or a song for all to enjoy. You may be a single storyteller or even a band of musical artists. It's up to you how many wish to take the spot light (Spot lights not included).

If you wish to participate or even come along for the free entertainment, just come on down on the night. No booking required.

[21:00 GMT, every Saturday. (subject to change)]

// You're welcome (and encouraged) to post reactions, questions, etc. in this topic thread

*Teshar smiles, seeing the note, and jots down the time on the back of an empty page*

// Glad you're doing this! I've been needing my story fix since story night stopped being held. The time is good too.

*weathered and damaged posters are replaced with brand spanking new ones*

// First one is tonight 21:00 GMT.
Remember: This is a good opportunity for those with minstrel jobs!

// The server is getting reset at approx. 21:25 GMT. So, it'd only benefit the evening if it kicks off at that time. (in 97 mins from this post).

All posters get taken down by a smiling Johanna but are also replaced by newer ones with another date. A week following.

// The first one went beyond my expectations. Another next Saturday is on for sure. Let's keep this alive!
Also, I am eager to hear feedback about timing. Was the time okay? Too early? Too late? Just right?

*Teshar left the inn with a satisfied smile*

// time worked great. Looking forward to next week! Thanks a lot for hosting it!

The guilty eyes of an old sinner ease over the invitation, deep pains buried in his heart from an event long past.. His eyes water just a little as he reminesces.

... He remembers seeing a cheerful crowd of innocents, young amid the fair grounds. They were so jovial and gay, full of sweet cheer and love. It was truly beautiful.

..The pain of his aging body was enormous in those days. He remembers how much it hurt as he leaned on the end of a quarterstaff, overlooking the crowd through eye holes bored through a human skull-turned-helmet.

The red mist of hunger. Flashes of his hands snapping up and down, the staff landing on soft targets.
Soon, the bodies were strewn everywhere across the fair ground.

His heart sinks... History is so predictable.

Fresh posters get put up after older ones have been weathered and vandalised.

// Same Harlequin time, Same Harlequin cha- .. I mean, place.

Neliel finds herself staring blankly at a poster after having been compelled to come to the Hin Inn. She looks around suspiciously before walking out, but her eyes glimmer with dull interest.

*Lisselle read it and smiles quite broadly* More parties!!!! Wooooooo...

*Teshar walks by, sees the notice and smiles happily*

Thank the Seldarine, I had nearly forgotten! It's been so busy! I can't wait to go again... and hope there will be no Gruumsh anthems sung this time.

Ethrolian takes another look of the poster, and smiles warmly behind his wounded face, in his mind. "Maybe I should attend this.. event. And tell some good old riddles. Maybe.. just maybe.. Tho I might not be ready.. maybe.."

His black panther, Arcangon, walks besides him as he goes away from the poster. He stops to look by the mill, where some hours ago fireplace was burning, now having just coal and ash in there. Hes greenish blue eyes stare to the place, and then beond, looking back in time to something.. something he would like to forget..

// Starting in 10 mins from now.

Over the posters can be the following sign:

This tenday's Storytelling is Cancelled. Will be back next tenday.

There is no explaination.

// Sorry all, but I won't be around to host this week's Storytelling Union.

Fresh posters get put up. Exactly the same content from months past, but fresh. Definitely fresh. New ones.

Fresh posters are put up to replace any weathered ones.

// *bumps*

//Perfect time. Will be there next week and bring a friend or two.

New posters are put up to replace the old ones. A new venue is mentioned in the updated posters.

// Sorry I've not done this in a while. Should be back properly this time.

// I'll most probably be there next saturday! I've got some new songs and itching to play them to the public!

Xaviera's eyes light up on reading the notice, but then sighs sadly upon realizing that her time is accounted for until at least 4 hrs after the scheduled start. Not to mention the time required to take ship to the Carraigh.

//Why do I see The Cobbit joining this based on principle xD

//Really really sorry but having to cancel tonight. I'm Out of action due to hospital annoyance. (hurrah for Iphone + free wireless). I might be able to do this later tonight, though be warned that the mess might mean I'll be a little spaced out. Luckily I don't do too much during these events.

// Okay, it's on but an hour late. I'm home and logged in and lucid. So... yea, just need the talent to arrive, now.

// Knock knock!
Who's there?
The Storytelling Union! So, get your butts over to the Ceyren's Mill's Singing Sun for all your storytelling/singing/performance needs!

// I think this has died a right death. 2nd week in a row nobody has arrived after 45mins to an hour, apart from Toag. Maybe it will be best to just end it here. We've had some amazing shows, so it's a massive shame that it's come to this. I imagine it's due to the location change that's made people not bother, after all everyone likes being over in Amia A: Island.

///hold off. i can make it if we do it one more week and i might be able to get some of my frineds to come as well

//i say keep on. you just need better advertismen.
If I knew it I'd come, and I bet that there are more people who would.
