Jack O, that mad old man, has decided to allow people onto his farm and to explore among his pumpkins. You may buy pumpkins for your recipes of for carving for only $2 each during this time! Beware, Jack's not quite all there any more and tends to like to pop up at random moments and play tricks on people. He's often harmless, but sometimes he can get carried away. Particularly during this time of year. He's a Floris Elf of the Old Ways, and therefore sometimes incomprehensible in his decision making. One year he tried to pay his taxes in buttons and pumpkin seeds. Occasionally, however, he completely goes off his bead and will start chasing people with his hoe or pitch fork. Dodge him quickly and make for the exit if he does! Run a random number from 1-71. Your purchase goes normally, and you gain your pumpkins without incident. 2. He tries to sell you an old boot named Charlie [try again!] 3. He gives you one of your pumpkins for free. 4. He sells you a rotten pumpkin [try again!] 5. He starts chasing you with a pitch fork [RUN! Try again tomorrow!] 6. He gives you a bag of candy with your purchase. [8 pieces of Candy [+10 END each]] 7. He chases you with his hoe [RUN! Try again tomorrow!]
Note: Jack only gets like this once a year. One might say the moons have affected him, or he simply has enjoyed a bit too much holiday spirit. Bonus! Below are some skills we are offering you to learn. You may train in your normal rp or training topics for this. Each Harvest Pumpkin yields 1 pumpkin shell, 1 pumpkin pulp, and 20 seeds. Recipes:Recipe: Pumpkin Pie [8 slices, +15 spd] Words Required: 200 words Other Requirements: Cooking Level 1 Ingredients: Harvest Pumpkin, knife, bowl, pie tin, pie crust, seasonings, sugar, spoon, oven Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds [+2 END per seed; +20 END if all 10 eaten] Words Required: 200 words Other Requirements: Cooking Level 1 Ingredients: 25 Pumpkin Seeds, Seasonings, bake pan Recipe: Pot of Roasted Pumpkin Soup [5 Servings; +15 Mana per serving] Words Required: 500 words Other Requirements: Cooking Level 1 Ingredients: Pumpkin Pulp, 5 Small Pumpkin Shells, Stock [Vegetable or Chicken], Cream, Seasonings, Pumpkin Seeds, Maple Syrup

Wrath suddenly appeared in the middle of the pumpkin patch and as he looked around he realized he wasn't in the grec empire at all. He had been wondering about this place too, and he must of been teleported here by mistake. It wasn't such a bad thing though. This place was comforting in a strange way. Wrath looked around and began to slowly walk along the path in his human form.

Tai Mao flutters overhead and circles his way down. As he makes his way through the pumpkin patch he picks out a harvest pumpkin that seems suitable for his desire to learn how to cook pumpkin food. The young male Frax meanders his way over to the old Floris and attempts to make his purchase. It is a risky endeavor, trying to buy from the drunken old loon of a farmer, but damn it, he grows the best pumpkins in all of Atlantis. "Um ... hello, Jack O ... I would like to buy a pumpkin ..." The old man lurches forward suddenly and thrusts a bag of candies into his hand and takes his money. After being told to be on his way, the fox bat cat man shoves his goods into his bag with a hasty thank you and farewell. Then he wanders off from the old man and back among the pumpkins wondering if he should buy some more. The old man's wife was kind enough to post up some recipes, so he writes them down for future reference.

The Ground Shook ever so slightly. a moment later it shook again. A few moments later again. These weren't random tremors, these were footsteps! a massive figure began to become visible over the top of a hill as the being scuttled forth on 8 legs, and as it got closer it became apparent just how massive it truly was. Twenty seven feet tall and very bulky, broad, and heavily armor plated. It suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground directly in front of it. There was another being there. This one was thirteen feet tall and very lean and lithe with a coloration that was beyond belief. A sinister looking purple glow radiated off the black being at their joints. He was dressed in charcoal black clothes and dispite the similarites of between him and the giant behind him, he walked on two legs rather than eight. The truth was he was still walking on 8. He chose to latch his legs together on each side of his body to allow him to wear pants. He turned and looked up at the brutish giant and made a series of clicks. The giant turned and walked away back toward sea. As the giant brute scuttled it not once stepped on a pumpkin. Clicker turned to face The Frax and began walking toward him. He began to speak, and through the clicking sounds, one could hear the words, "Good day to you. I apologise for my younger sister. She meant no harm."

Tai Mao contentedly rubs his pumpkin to clean off any dirt left on it when he begins to feel the ground thump under his feet. The young frax flits up into the air as a matter of instinct rather than any actual feeling of fear. He lands next to the crazy old man and gets immediately chased off by the hoe wielding floris. His next landing place is on a tree branch. As he clings upside down on the branch, he looks over towards Clicker and scratches furiously behind his right ear. Partially because of a sudden ferocious itch, and partly as a gesture of curiosity towards the two. Soon the large female scuttles off and plunges herself into the waters of the nearby coast. Readjusting himself, he tucks his wings up against his back and snakes his tail around the branch while dangling by one foot before settling back to holding the branch with both feet. It would take some serious force to detach him from the branch, or the branch itself giving up on its own hold on the tree it is growing from in order to dislodge his tight grip. His claws are dug in that deep. His fluffy long tail uncoils itself and begins to twitch at the tip. Mixed emotions of having a sudden desire for shell fish for dinner and interest in the being known as Clicker conflict within him, but not for long, since Clicker has greeted him. "Ah, no, not a big deal." he says quickly in a soft raspy yip. The tan colored bat fox cat creature, content that the crab guy is not an actual threat, but rather another one of his own Emperor's subjects, stretches his wings and flutters back down to stand before the nearly nine feet taller man. Yup, one of the shortest species of Atlantians next to one of the largest species. It could be rather comical if one were to think about it that way. "Tai Mao, Vizuna Tribe of the Frax Kingdom. How are you today?" he says by way of greeting as he tucks his wings on his back again.

"I am well. My name is Clicker Alabaster Divin of the Hammer Claw tribe. We're the best smiths in the Crustafarian kingdom." Clicker said before turning to face the coast. "Each Crustafarian must complete a task called the wandering before they may learn their tribes' trade secrets. I have just began my wandering. It is a journey of learning, growth, and survival." Clicker then turned back to face Tai Mao. "May I travel with you?

Tai Mao plucks up yet another pumpkin, preparing to purchase it. "If you like." He smiles at Clicker and walks back towards Jack, determined to see if he can purchase yet another pumpkin. "I am not sure where to start with about my own people. We are mainly an agrarian society who deal heavily in merchant work. Though most people are familiar with Frax merchants since that is the face that is seen most. It is not unusual for Frax families to own their own shops to sell their goods and products. Though, in my case, I couldn't really do much in my drove as there was too much over crowding on my tribe's island, so every young Frax that was capable of doing so, was encouraged by the drove leader to split off and start out on our own. Since Frax can be found just about anywhere in the Fofaf Empire as a whole, I figured that I don't need to worry about whether I find a colony outside of Atlantis or what not. I'm just gonna grab my rucksack and make my way in the world. Well, as much as I can manage anyway." He smiles as today the old man hasn't seemed to have had a drink and therefore allows him to purchase a pumpkin without much issue.Pumpkins: 2 Bag of Candy: 1

"Most Crustafarian's are merchants of sorts as well. Many of us are weapon and armor smiths. Every crustafarian craftsman knows how to properly wield or wear their creations. Until I have completed my wandering, I cannot learn my family's way of making armor," Clicker explained. He then turned and looked around before looking back at the Frax. "Shall we begin our journey and If so, Where to first?"

Tai Mao smiles at the giant crab guy and chuckles. "Then we are in luck, meeting each other, my shelled compatriot. I am out to find myself in this wide world of ours, and you are on your wandering years. What a wonderful happenstance this is. Why do we not find ourselves together and seek out some form of career path to enjoy. I was thinking of taking up both cooking and the merchant's trade." He ponders the question that he had been posed, whether or not he desires to pick up on the adventure now or later. "I suppose now is as good as ever. Shall we take a boat over the Great Sea and see what can be found? Fishing, learning the merchant way, and possibly getting into some adventure?"

"There are things in the great sea not worth provoking. Including sea dragons. If you are certain that you'd like to cross the sea, I will go with you. But I feel it would be unwise to be perfectly honest. There is much to gain, but we could lose our lives. I leave the decision up to you." Clicker explained before turned back toward Tai Mao. Clicker knew the sea was a place for adventure, but he knew from experience that it was a place to be respected as well as feared.

Samuel enters the pumpkin patch and starts to explore the area looking at the pumpkins. He had been told by the tribal elder that he should come here and buy a couple pumpkins. The elder had also told him that this crazy old drunker grew some of the best if not the best pumpkins in the empire. So here he was far from home and facing a crazy old man. "I'd like..." He began but the old floris suddenly lunged at him with his pith fork forcing him to run away. As he runs he yells "You idiotic, drunken, old fool I just want to buy a pumkin." Samuel has not realized that he has lost the old farmer. Samuel soon spots a frax and a Crustafarian "Oh Yummy!" He says as he nears the two. Almost immediately regretting his tendency to speak first then think last. "Oops sorry." He mutters coming to a stop next to them.

Right as Tai is about to respond to Clicker's concerns an Otfin comes crashing through the patch, trying to avoid the loony old sot. However composed he is when this happened, it has not prepared him for what happens next. The Otfin actually voiced his own thoughts on finding Clicker delicious looking. This causes him to slap his hands over his own muzzle and snort loudly as he attempts to hide his laughter. It is so fricking hilarious. Even though Samuel has apologized, it just simply is too much for Tai Mao, and he just busts out laughing out loudly. Trying to keep from laughing, he only manages to laugh even more. The frax falls backwards and winds up sitting on top of a huge pumpkin. "Woops. Well, that was fun." He offers a paw in the direction that he had heard Samuel talking. "Hello, my friend, I am Tai Mao and this is my friend Clicker. He's a huge crab thing. Um, Crustifarian, right?"

Clicker watched as the otfin approached. He would have said hello, but then he heard the words. He reached down and picked the otfin up by the tail and put him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes; using the otfin's tail as a handle to hold onto him. "Next person who says anything related to thinking about eating me will be coming with me as I walk the sea bottom. I will not be surfacing to let said person breath. Am I clear?"

Samuel tries to dodge as Clicker reaches out to grab him but was not fast enough to get away and was picked up by his tail. Hey put me down man I said I was sorry." He squawks upside down now "That hurts you know how would you like it if you were picked up by the tail. After a few minutes of struggling he lays still on Clickers shoulder and looks at the frax who was rolling on a large pumpkin. "Yeah, yeah I understand." He says then mutters "Couldn't stop myself haven't eaten in a day or two" He admits sadly. He then notices what Tai Mao was saying. Hello Tai Mao and Clicker I'm Samuel never met a Crustifarian before but I have heard about them. Um nice to meet you er Clicker could you put me down before my tail rips off please."
