Hang the Fool - Green Ajah FoF 2012

[ElusiveAthena]

Turin is correct AGAIN - congrats,

I can't find a word to beat his wits,

But perserverence is my forte,

So I will concoct a word so doughty

It will be discovered with great difficulty...

Athena gives Turin a hula-hoop.

[Wildfire Sedai]

I think I would like to see

an E

please

[ElusiveAthena]

The letter "E" crops up six times,

But will this help you find the phrase?

Keep going awesome with your rhymes,

You all of you deserve much praise.

 

Wildfire is given a chocolate Easter-Bilby.

[Razen]

I have taken a break from this hanging game

to gather my thoughts and repair the maim.

Now for letters I would to request

that you humbly add a letter S.

[ElusiveAthena]

Razen, in this phrase immense,

I'm sorry, but there is no 'S".

[Razen]

Oh no, woe is me, I have guessed wrong,

but I now sing the letter R in my song.

It shall be there in this gigantic phrase,

or I'll be upset in so many ways.

 

I also the rules forgot,

that one other must guess before I claim my spot.

[Leala]

The couplets have been drained out of me. I'm really better with prose. But I guess "N".

[Turin Turambar]

Turin happily plays with his hula-hoop.

 

Such a long phrase you have conjured here,

 

I shall still strive to solve it without any fear.

 

I wait eating scones and drinking tea,

 

to discover if the phrase contains a T.

[ElusiveAthena]

Turin, here are some biscuits to have with the "T"

Which you have correctly guessed, and I see

That both Razen and Leala have perfectly guessed

And so I am very, very impressed.

So Leala, I give you a bright blown glass flask

From which you can drink, and to Razen a mask

Of kingfisher feathers and brilliant in hue

So shining in colour, and gorgeusly blue.

 

Athena hands over the aforementioned items to Razen, Leala and Turin.

[Leala]

*sets crystals by a lit candle and sips mint tea from her new flask*

 

So shiny...

 

Hm...I guess "A"

[ElusiveAthena]

Yes, there is an "A" - now the phrase must be clear

Who will guess it, is anyone near?

Will it be Turin, or somebody new?

I am excited - it's hopefully YOU!

 

At the word "YOU" Athena makes a sweeping gesture out over the assembled throng, pointing at everyone in turn.

 

She then rummages around on her perch and comes up with something very shiny. It's a sparkly tiara, with a design of cherry blossoms worked in silver and zircons. It is given, of course, to Leala.

[Turin Turambar]

_{Lieutenant General Tylee Khirgan helped Perrin win back his beloved Faile}

 

_{To end the story arc that had many yelling "Oh Hail" ( or something like that)}

[Leala]

Annnd now Athena is my favorite. *gleefully places tiara on her head. So many shinies. *contented sigh*

[ElusiveAthena]

*sigh*

 

Perhaps I should just give Turin the prize,

Because if he wins now, there'll be no surprise...

I don't want you to think though, that I don't admire you,

It's just that I have trouble thinking what word now I can do.

Here is a gift for being so skilled,

A silver-chased flute, like the one that Thom trilled.

 

And Leala - you're welcome - I'm glad the tiara delights you,

Keep guessing, and receiving more shinies you might do...

 

Athena gives Turin the flute, presenting it with a bow and a flourish worthy of Thom Merrilin himself. Unfortunately bowing while perched on an erratically swinging seat is not the wisest idea, and she nearly topples.

 

The words "Lieutenant-General Tylee Khirgan" illuminates the room, then re-resolves into new spaces:

[Turin Turambar]

Turin capers off back to his own thread trilling along on his new silver chased flute. Thinking he is playing a lovely tune but wondering why all the others are covering their ears.

 

It is now time for me to sleep,

 

I am sure that is not cause for the others to weep.

 

They are now free to send in their best guess

 

I will just request an S.

[ElusiveAthena]

Goodnight Turin, sleep thee well,

"S" for sleep's in the phrase as well.

 

Athena lets loose a small canary, which flies over to the retreating Turin and perches on his fool hat, and they exeunt to much fanfare.

[Wildfire Sedai]

Woe is woe

might I have an O

[Leala]

With one letter in the word, it's hard to tell.

But I'll go out on a limb, and guess the letter "L"

[ElusiveAthena]

Surely is not a cause for woe

When I confirm the phrase has an "O".

But Leala, although I wish I could give you a prize,

There is not an "L" to dazzle my eyes.

 

Athena gives Wildfire a cuckoo clock.

[Wildfire Sedai]

May I please

have an E

[Sword Captain of Fools]

A in my opinion is a good letter

How could any other be better?

[Leala]

Hello, everyone, how have you been?

I'd like to place a bid on the letter "N".

[Brandie]

Perhaps a "T"?
