Merek, the owner of the purple lantern in Eclipse City, had made a very curious discovery. As the owner of an inn, travelers visited his inn from far and wide. With so many visitors, it was quite common for travelers to leave clothes, food and the odd trinket behind when they left. A couple of months ago, an odd looking fellow in a purple hat and robes left behind a very peculiar stick. At first glance, the stick looked and felt like any other stick. The curious part is that, when one spoke into the stick, your voice would be loudly broadcast to the room. Crazy and annoying at first, Merek was going to burn the stick until he found customers LIKED talking into the stick.
Shaa had heard about the “stick of loudness” as it was being called from some travelers and decided to head to the inn to check it out. He really didn’t need to be any louder really but he had already thought of several ways to mess with his friends using the stick, so it was worth a look. When he got to the inn, several elves were using the stick to sing with, and they sounded amazing. Then Shaa got a crazy idea. He wondered if other people would want to sing into the stick. He spoke to Merek who agreed to host a one time party with some very specific rules in place. Shaa agreed and set about creating and delivering invitations all over Charon. It took him over a month but everything was done and the day had arrived. Merek set up tables and chairs around a small stage in the back. The stick of loudness lay on a small stone table on the stage. Now the question was, who would show up to sing?
Shaa watched as several familiar faces started to enter the Inn. He waved them towards the tables and grabbed the stick. GREETINGS EVERYONE Startled at the volume, Shaa held the stick a bit further from his snout. Greetings everyone. Glad to see you made it. This is the famous stick of loudness. It will help us tonight sing some cool songs. Hope everyone has fun. If you want to sing, please sign up here. Several people got up and signed up on the paper Shaa had put to the side. Great! Ok our first singer is…..

Post by Ser Gerhart Stanislav on Dec 12, 2022 12:12:45 GMT -5
Perhaps thankfully for the rest of the party goers, Gerhart did not know enough shame to be nervous going first. He would happily take the stage and sing his heart out, confident in the fact that others will join in because there is absolutely no way they could do worse than the young adventurer. But what he does lack in singing talent, he makes up with pure enthusiasm.
[Intro]
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
[Chorus]
Everybody was Shaa Rhunn fighting
That bull was fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But he fought with expert timing
[Verse 1]
He was a funky Minotaur from funky King's Valley He was punching them up, he was slamming them down
It's an ancient Minotaur art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip and a kicking from the hip
[Chorus]
Everybody was Shaa Rhunn fighting
That bull was fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But he fought with expert timing
[Verse 2]
There was funky Zarius and little Gerhart He said, "Here comes the big boss, let's get it on"
We took a bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip, now we're into a brand new trip
[Chorus]
Everybody was Shaa Rhunn fighting
That bull was fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But he fought with expert timing
[Bridge]
Oh yeah
(Oh-ho-ho-ho, ha)
(Oh-ho-ho-ho, ha)
(Oh-ho-ho-ho, ha)
(Oh-ho-ho-ho, ha)
[Chorus]
Everybody was Shaa Rhunn fighting
That bull was fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But he fought with expert timing
[Outro]
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Shaa Rhunn fighting
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Hands and feet fast as lightning
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
Keep on, keep on, keep on
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
Yeah, yeah
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
Everybody was Shaa Rhunn fighting
Hands and feet fast as lightning
(Oh-ho-ho-ho) Huh, ha
(Oh-ho-ho-ho)

Post by Lady Cirice Lunestre on Dec 14, 2022 12:09:28 GMT -5
After watching Gerhart sing his heart out Cirice feels compelled to go next. She gets up on stage, taking the stick in hand and smiles to the crowd before singing in a clear bell-like voice. Encouraging those around her to join in and really bouncing around the stage with joyful glee. Many nights we prayed
With no proof, anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now, we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Oh-oh-oh
Mmm, yeah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My hearts so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speakin' words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill (Mmm)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says, help is very near, oh (Oh)
There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (When you)
Believe
You will when you (You will when you)
Believe
Just believe (Believe)
Just believe
You will when you
Believe

Mubashir sat in a dark corner of the tavern, sweating nervously. Knowing that he had signed the paper just after the young moon elf woman, He could hardly pay attention to the song being sung. Sumaita on the other hand was having a wonderful time listening to Gerhart and Cirice singing, clapping along with the crowd when appropriate and miming a cheer when they were both done and taking their bows. Wringing his hand, it was only when she poked him and pointed to the waiting Minotaur with the list that he realized that it was his turn.
Wait...Shaa? He hadn't noticed the familiar minotaur who had released him unto the world until now, despite his sheer presence. Shit, now he would not only have to sing in front of strangers, but his saviour as well? His knees trembled as he approached the stage.
"Ah, yess. Thank you Sshaa for bringing uss here." He said, palms sweating, wiping his forehead on stage as the light of the tavern seemed to increase several levels. "I-I mean in a general ssensse, not like Sshaa physsically iss ressponssible for uss being here, thatss crazsy... he-he." Sumaita swirled her fingers from the side of the stage, prompting Mubashir to hurry up and get on with his song. "I would jusst like to mention, for thosse of you who do not know me, I am from the Z...Arid Messa. And here iss a national anthem of my kingdom, at leasst it ussed to be. I dont really know what they ssing now. Anywayss-" Mubashir shot a set of finger guns to Haslan, the snake with the rake who would be doing the music. His tail strummed the sitar provided and the jam began.
"All the old carvingss on the tomb
They do the ssand dance, don't you know
If they move too quick (oh way oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazsaar men by the White Ssea
They got the money on a bet
Gold Lizsardmen (oh way oh)
They ssnap their teeth on your manchettess
Foreign types with the hookah pipes ssay
Way oh way oh, way oh way oh
Walk like an Zeinavan" Now singing, he felt significantly less nervous, and seeing his thrall Sumaita at the base of the stage clapping happily along, he pulled her up to dance with him. The look on her face as he pulled her front and center was terrified, but he bumped the side of her hip and motioned for her to follow his lead. She had grown up dancing to this song after all, just a thousand years of cobwebs to shake off. She smiled, and started getting into the rhythm."The ssilk misstress' take their trayss
They sspin around and they crosss the floor
They've got the moves (oh way oh)
You drop your drink
Then they bring you more All the sstreet kidss sso ssick of the lookss
They like the sskunk and the metal ssand
When the Sspire sshiness (oh way oh)
They're walking like an Zeinavan
All the urchinss in the marketplace ssay
Way oh way oh, way oh way oh
Walk like an Zeinavan
Sslide your feet up the street
Bend your back
Sshift your arm, then you pull it back and,
Life is hard you know (oh way oh)
Sso sstrike a posse on a Caravan
If you wanna find all the guardss
They're hanging out in the kebab shop
They ssing and dance (oh way oh)
They sspin the sspearss, cruisse down the block
All the Moongladean with their yen
The party boyss call the Sstarlight Den-eyen
And the Crescentss know (oh way oh)
They walk the line like Zeinavan
All the guardss in the kebab sshop ssay
Way oh way oh, way oh way oh
Walk like an Zeinavan Walk like an Zeinavan"

As the applause for Mubashir's song ended, hardly anyone noticed as a little brown raccoon dog and a large, fluffy bumblebee made their way onto the empty stage. The raccoon dog picked up the stick of loudness in both of their little claws and held it up, a smile on their face, between them and the bee. They began to sing a little, completely unintelligible duet in buzzes, barks, and chitters.
Buzzz Buzz Buzzz
Arf Arf Arf
Buzz Buzzzz Buzz Buzzz Buzz
Arf Bark Arf, Arf Bark Arf Arf
Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzzzz!
When the two finished, they gave a small bow. Suddenly, extremely loud applause came from the back of the crowd as a massive beast man clapped and cheered, wiping a tear from his eye.
"They're so talented!" he shouted out with all the pride of a grandparent talking about their grandchild after they did the most mundane of tasks. Ned the Big Bee and Awd the Raccoon Dog cheerfully returned to sitting on Beist's lap and he hugged them happily, still wiping tears from his eyes. He took out a handkerchief and blew his nose.

Several more singers singers sang into the stick as the night moved on into the early morning. After the run rose and many patrons went to bad, Shaa was congratulated by the owner on an event well done. Well ya crazy Minotaur. I didn’t think anyone was going to show up but you pulled it off. I wouldn’t mind doing this again.
Shaa turned over the stick. So what are you going to do with this in the mean time? Hmm might turn it into an annual thing. We will see. Here. He hands Shaa a key to one of the rooms. You have been up all night. Why don’t you take a rest on me. Shaa smiles and takes the key. He starts to the room but before he does, he calls back. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
End
