Melon Field 1 [Ari]

[melonfield]

The vast forest west of town breaks into a clearing. It's not a small clearing, some stray beam of holiness in a dark and damp jungle, but a large opening, about the size of the town. Being extremely flat, it's easy to see that it's not the forest's edge -- the same forest surrounds it completely on every side. And there's something else easy to

The sparking gave Trucy a great idea for a little more ventriloquism! She would sing a duet with Miss Melonificent.

"Twinkle twinkle little melon," she sang, and then in the higher voicer she'd chosen for Miss Melonificent, added "I sure hope you're not a felon!" Hey, rhyming on the spot was hard.

Trucy again, "Up above the melon patch," and then Melon, "In a cute magician's hat," and then both together? Would wonders never cease? "Twinkle twinkle melon shell, I'm glad you didn't break when you fell! Ta-da!"

[melonfield]

To Trucy's probably-surprise, blue melon #2 broke open!

((OOC: Congratulations. Trucy gets 2% memories!))

"M-melon!" Trucy exclaimed. And then, somewhat sadly, turned to Miss Melonificent. "I think our act might be too amazing. At least for melons! Come on, let's go home and come up with a less deadly act."

Then, she put her cloak back on, shieled Miss Melonificent's eyes from the carnage by putting her in the hat, and scooped up some melon pieces to eat later when Miss Melonificent wasn't watching. Then she brought Miss Melonificent back home.

Miss Melonificent went home with Trucy, not at all upset about one of her fellows exploding. She was sure they all knew their fates and were glad to serve the people!

...Maybe.

But melons couldn't think, much less existential things like that.

When Trucy got home, she put the melonds' fallen comrade in a bowl, so as to best honor it by eating it later. Then, she washed her hands, cleaned a few stray melon bits off her hat and cloak, and gave Miss Melonificent a good scrubbing so she'd sparkle even prettier, and towelled her off.

Miss Melonficent was very sparkly and pretty now!

[magicbloomers]

Yes she was.

"So what now?" Trucy asked, setting Miss Melonificent down on her bed. "Should we practice our card tricks, or our singing? Or are you tired? I don't want you to explode too!"

[melonfield]

Miss Melonficent didn't answer, because melons couldn't talk. However, she listened attentively.

[magicbloomers]

"Oh, that's right!" Trucy said. "Melons can't talk! Silly me. Um, are you tired? Sparkle once for yes and twice for no!"

[melonfield]

Melon sparkled... well, however number of times Trucy would like to interpret it as, really.
