Siv may realize this steed is not fully domesticated, but she tries to be good natured about it

------------

Frank comes back to see the Dawntreader in all it's now girlier glory

A stoic sigh. It could have been worse. At least he's not going on a run until after Highsummer.

Should he try the horn, it will play "I'm so pretty" ala west side story.

Another patient sigh.

In the short term, a VERY annoyed Gerd comes out , the cloud around her looking like the paint job on Franks' truck. As she walks "I'm a barbie girl" is sung by little barbie shaped Chimera hovering over her "I can't flicker flash away from them.." The rose coated girl says "Uncle Vali's a menace"

"Dude, it's like the disney princesses threw up around here..." Dagmar is dressed to work the paddock - rubber field boots and worn jeans and t-shirt.

Gerd gives her a look, "He changed out my hair dye" She touches the rosy locks on her head "And THIS." A glare at the chimera.

"Well, maybe you're one of those lolita goths."

"Like, in Japan. Symon told me about them."

"OR Maybe Uncle Vali would like to be flicker flashed a half mile over a lake" Flutter of lashes

Dag frowns. "Maybe only a couple feet over. Don't want him hurt."

"I exaggerate, Obviously" Gerd tries to look broody moody about it, but at the moment little pink bursts of anime like emojis pop over head of her.

Then Gerd looks at the truck, dubious "I thought he said.." SHe reads the tire, then covers her mouth

"Huh?"

"Nothing..." Giggle

well, muffled giggle

She looks?

the words , 'I lied, sue me! -Vali' written on a tire. don't seem that funny, yet Gerd is covering a chortle.

"Ohhh"

"I won't say anymore on this, don't want to ruin someone's joke"

"Seems fair, I think..."

"Enjoy your truck, Uncle Frank." Gerd smirks, feeling better about her own situation.

Brekke finds it an odd sitaution, for once, the pranks are not on her... but of course, despite the pooka's cliams, it's not all about pranking. High Summer is a lot more lax about enchantments and mortal interaction. As she walks near the Wayburtons, she hers laughter and giglgles and sounds that, well.. no doubt some college co eds are saying hi to their professor.

A pause, and a deep breath. It's Pranksgiving, they're over 18, and the Professor would not harm a student. She is about to keep on walking....then pauses again.

Yup. Laughter, giggles.. and music

Her eyes widen, and she resumes her walk. Anybody watching her might almost hear her footsteps sounding like nope nope nope nope....

She gets out of music range... and sees Dirk scowling in a bad mood.

"Peacekeeper." She nods to him.

"Oh, the Baroness, pip pip and jollly good" He says Doffing his hat.

Then he sighs

That puts her back on her heels for a moment, more than if he'd jumped up and attacked her.

Then an odd look...oh, yes, she's trying not to laugh.

"Blimey, some piker took a charm on me, making me sound Dickensian at best. Rather rude, wot?"

A wince...she can do this...and after a moment, she clears her throat and says, "That must be...very difficult for you, Dirk."

"Stiff upperlip and all that" The Redcap says wiht as much dignity as he can muster, "But should I find the cheeky blighter responsible, a thrashing will commence, by George!"

A snort makes its way out, but she tries to cover it with a coughing fit.

After a moment, she manages, "Do not take revenge too harshly, Peacekeeper. It is Pranksgiving, after all."

"Quite right, Quite Right' He sticks his hands in his pockets and scowls again "Tut tut then. Cheerio" and he walks off...

thanksfully out of sight and presumably hearing range

Another snort...and it turns into a proper, brief chortle (no, a troll of her age and stature does not giggle). Then she collects herself and resumes her patrol.

Other sights of Easy enchantment are neither lurid, nor funny.

As she sees Jimmy the Piskie, easy to over look, walking with an rotund wrinkled woman , a mortal, enchanted and gazing in wonder

"And this is what it's like for you all the time, Jimmy?" She asks.

She watches for a bit. She doesn't think Jimmy would harm the mortal....

Jimmy nods "yes, Grandmother... and because I am what i am.. that's why I steal."

"I KNEW you were a good boy" the older woman says fiercely "KNEW it."

Jimmy blushes , "you always stand up for me"
