Galactica Point

Isabel is still not sure if Dawn's pulling her leg. But it is Fandom. If dancing about with jellybeans and a piccolo player will ensure good weather tomorrow, then she'll do it.

She led the bemused NPC piccolo player to a spot on the middle of the beach and shrugged. "They should be here any minute. Then we can get started."

[ooc: The good weather ritual is locked to Isabel, Dawn & Molly. We wouldn't want to accidently summon a hurricane or anything with more people. Otherwise the beach is here for all your surf & sand needs.]

Dawn showed up a few minutes later, wearing a long flowing skirt and top, and carrying a pair of maracas. She waved cheerfully at Isabel and the piccolo player. "Hi! We ready?"

Molly followed shortly behind Dawn and waved to Isabel. "Am I under dressed?" she asked after seeing Dawn's outfit. She was just wearing the same t-shirt and shorts she'd been wearing all day. She wasn't wearing a hat though.

"Molly, hi!" Dawn waved happily. "And no, you're fine. I just wanted to break in the ritual skirt."

Not that she had a need for a ritual skirt, but whatever. It was pretty and comfortable.

Isabel waved and held up a bag of jellybeans. "I've got the jellybeans and a piccolo player. I think we're all set."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Did you take out the green ones?" Dawn asked. "They're the secret evil." They coincidentally also happened to be her favorite flavor.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I have not. But it's not that big of a bag. We can put the green ones in here," she said, holding up the paper bag the bag of jellybeans had been in.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Cool." She ate one.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But eating them negates the evil?" Isabel asked, raising her eyebrow. She popped one in her mouth just in case.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly looked at a green jelly bean carefully. "What flavor are they? If they're lime, I agree that they are evil."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're safe. They're green apple." Isabel held out a few. "Want them?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yay! Green apple are yummy." Molly took a couple of the jelly beans and ate them.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Apple?" Dawn made a face. They could keep them. "Okay, now that the evil green jellybeans are being digested, we need to make a circle.

She pointed at the piccolo player, who'd been trying to fade into the background. "You. Go stand somewhere, and we'll make a circle around you. With, um, sticks."

He didn't look delighted with that prospect.

"I promise," Isabel said. "We won't hit with them. I would have paid you more if we did." She looked around the beach and found several sticks at the high tide line. Picking them up, she held them out to Dawn and Molly.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly took the sticks and watched to see what Dawn did with them. "How big of a circle do we need?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um..." Said Dawn, who was totally making this up, "enough so he doesn't lose his balance and fall over, but not so wide that we can't hold hands around it."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Holding hands and holding the sticks was going to be interesting. But Isabel tried to get a grip on the sticks as she reached out for Molly and Dawn's hands.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oops, sorry, I suck at explaining," Dawn said sheepishly. "Sticks go on the ground, around the piccolo guy."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laid her sticks down on the ground around the piccolo player and then held out her hands to Isabel and Dawn.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oops, sorry. Too much on my mind," Isabel said as she placed her sticks down. She took Molly's hand and held her other hand out to Dawn.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"No problem," Dawn said, also laying her sticks down around the extremely confused piccolo player and taking Molly and Isabel's hands.

"Do you know 'Pop Goes the Weasel'?" She asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

The piccolo player nodded weakly as Isabel laughed. "Do we need to sing to?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"You may have to remind me of the words," Molly said.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"There are words?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There's something about a cobbler's bench, a monkey and a weasel. But that's all I remember," Isabel said. "I hatched a little too old for the nursery rhyme stage."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I only remember the first part," Molly said and looked at the piccolo player hopefully.
