*the previous orders are removed as the smoke clears and a more carefully-written order added:*

Stay on extra alert for trouble makers, check all helmeted folks you don't know (politely), and if it's quiet, help the other residents clean the smoke residue from buildings and walls.

Brena's given last name

In recent days Belladonna is seen to be scttling bck and forth all over the length and breadth of the Dale. She makes regualr visits to both Bemmi and Fendel as if she were planning something.

Aside from this large crates and boxes are seen to arrive at the Dale gates addressed in a variety of ways to Belladonna and in many different varieties of script.
Some written in a long flowing elvish script addressed to Belladonna by name, but others of cruder mark that have messaages to the lke of...
"Te de funny small lady, all green wit te blak kity"
Another marked with runes ad bound with iron shod sides arrives a few days later.

Bella herself seeming to be delighted as she finds each package arriving and using her carms to have the Dale guards help her move the boxes to the safety of her nearby house before to many gruby hin fingerprints are gotten over them. Or the surprise spoiled.

Whilst such boxes arrive at the gates, Sigrin the Ditch can be seen ocassionally glancing a kleptomaniac's eye towards them, before shaking his head and mentally rectifying himself. Still, his curiousity, and indeed his imagination, continue to pry for the contents, even if his hands to not.

'She's a bloody pirate, that one, ain't no salt scratched denying it!' he declares, to whomever might be nearby. 'Burying all her treasures and what under the Dale! 'S like a big banner, y'know. 'Steal me, please!'.

'I'm a good little hin, me. But it's always good to know where the X is on the map...' Afterwards, he sighs, and continue's on his daily routine.

The last of the boxes arrives to the Dale that morning and no more appear after it. Bella has a fixed grin on her face and is seen running around with a notebook constantly in her hands and occasionally stopping to make notes in it.

Soon enough a bunch of posters begin to appear in the Dale, all wrtitten in an extravagant hand and with an easy penmanship of someone who is well used to the written word.

Friends and fellow folk of the Dale,

It is with the greatest pleasure that I would ike to announe a party, celebrating the forth coming wedding of Suzy and Dito.

It would please me no end if all good minded folk that know them and as I do wish them both well in their future happiness together would attend.

We will meet on (see below) in the centre of Bendir and from there, well, you will have to see if you come along wont you.

The note is signed with a flourish of a script that looks like it reads Belladonna.

// I'll bring the party, if everyone could suggest a good time when they will be available. Obviously its important that our two guests of honour are there and as for myself I will try and be flexible.

//Free any time apart from 2pm Friday afternoons up until 11am Saturday mornings (+10GMT)

// generally free evenings Monday-Thursday and then Friday-Sunday mostly all day, EST...and maybe I'll bring my painter along

//i'm free any day but wed.

// Alright... what if I said 8pm GMT on Thursday then?

// 8pm GMT Thurs = 6am Friday. Yeah, I can make that. ^.^

// That's noon my time. I'll probably be a bit late 'cause I'll be getting out of class.

// Sorry all. I need to make a change cause the guests of honour couldnt be there :lol:

So... new time is this and gods only knows how I am going to manage to be awake for it.

4am GMT on Thursday

//Thats 2pm Thurs my time, so piece of cake. (typing out my times just so I dont forget <.<)

// Unless I'm wrong with my calculations, and I usually am 'cause I suck at math, that means Wednesday 8pm PST, my time. I can do that, I think.

// blah, something came up and I wasn't home for this. Sorry.

Around the open glade where the Vibrant Tree rets Belladonna can be seen to slowly clear away the debris of the party. It had been a long planned and careful affair and although it had a few incidents towards the end it had proved to be a most welcome affair.

From out of the gloom a short lady appears dressed in a geen firest garb and hails Bella as she cleans away the last of the mess, to leave the forest looking spotless around that evergreen glade once more.

Tugging her cloak around her tightly she walks towards the other figure wherethey spend some time talking in hushed voices only for the two to then depart later amngst amikable farewells.

Okra completes his unpacking and takes time the first few days after his return to speak to a Master Gardener about any specific techniques needed to maximize crop yields given the soil and climate conditions on Amia Isle. He then begins experimenting with various crops in the area near Rinzi's garden in Bendir. The onions come out tasty but despite his best efforts the turnips still taste like turnips.

//What it says. If you play a Cobcruncher you are free to post here anything IC pertaining to your PC. You know who you are.

Marigold slept soundly in her quarters, as she always did. Her skin had taken on a sickly pallor from her lack of exposure to the outside, and her hair was often untended to. Dark circle were under her eyes. After all, she rarely left, what need was there to make up? And then Fendel left Marigold a simple message: her brothers were back.

The young hin pulled herself in front of a mirror, brush in hand and smiled at her reflection.

Ukre goes on a look-about for a herbalist, to see what would be good healing herbs to try to grow in the Bendir soil. He also investigates the orchard and collects some seeds from the fruit there. He can occasionally be seen at, or heading up to, the Lemur Monastery for extended periods as well. When not busy with all that, he inquires about his other siblings, Marigold, Rowan, and Kail to see what they have been up to and where they are at.

To all Harleys:

Approximately one month ago our fearless leader Johanna decided to go on another of her walkabouts(IRL SephAndy got a broken arm/shoulder & is healing up now) and has left me, Thistlefoot, -temporarily- in charge of the Harleys.

One of my first acts was to find a suitable place for us Harleys to call home, a place of our own. This has been accomplished as I have rented a nice place for us to use. A place far away from Bendir politics, a place where we can live our lives freely in accordance with traditional Hin ways. Any Harley that wishes to visit or use the 'Harley Hall' should contact me.

Kindest regards,
~Thistlefoot

// I'm going to nudge the content of this thread toward this new one I have made. Its purpose is due to the Harlequins' new home out of Bendir Dale, thanks to Teufel Eldritch's effort and initiative. The new IC thread is found at: http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=43785

// @thesciencenerd how long did that multi-coloured text take? I'm impressed

Bella had been happy for a time as she spoke to Lyle that morning, for the first time in a long while she had forgotten the tension that seemed to loom over her these days. That cnstant feeling of the storm clouds gathering on the horrizon but also hounding her wherever she went.

But as the two of them had left the inn in a jovial fashion she had espied two out of place looking newcomers standng outside the town hall and something in the way they stood bothered her. She could not help but cast her keen eyes over the two of them as something niggled away at her soul and then soon afterwards wished dearly that she had not.

As they were both escorted away to the inn, Bella knew that shehad to find closure on her suspicions and with an apology to Lyle had moved away to the earest glade of trees where her voice dropped to a pitch that could no longer be heard by mortal ears and she faded from sight.

"She isnt there!"
Her voice had screamed as she exited the prtal ack into the Dale, a few errant, windswept leaves following behind her. Her face lookig agonised beyond believe as she had rushed towards the in with Lyle and Swfts looks following her cape as it stremed out behind in her mad dash.
The door to the inn flying open and Bella grabing Fendels collar as she whispered urgently to him and wordlessly, his arm shaking he had pointed her to the rooms upstairs.

There was murder in the halfligs eyes, driven by both hurt and despair as her kindness and generosity had been so sorel abused. She never realised the staff of Brena blocking her path until she walked into it and a brief conversation follows in whispers wth Bella's face looking sadder at each passing exchange.

"But why do this to me"

She wails to the inn at large as she can feel tears welling up in her cheeks, the anger give way now to only grief and relentig on passing to go upstairs she flees the inn, knocking a wizard over in the process and dashes out of the gates with tears streaming down her cheeks as she fumbles for a time with the lock on her door. Her fingers not able to make the simple mechanism work for where her hands tremble so badly. But when she eventually unlocks it, she slams the door with a resoundng clang and jams the key in the lock the other side.

It is some time before Bella is seen again...
