((I do apologize for the wait, guys! But now we’re back in business!))Talcen:A man was leaning near the side of the gazebo, looking unconcerned with the world as he fiddled with his flute. As he glanced up, he spotted the brothers, and an interested look passed across his face. Well, the Boris fellow had said he was welcome to use the contestants in any way he could. Maybe here he’d find someone to help him. Clutching his instrument in his hand, the man trotted over to the two brothers, looking rather amusing with his goatee and curly, floppy hair. He grinned when he reached them, bending at the waist in an elegant bow. “Good afternoon gentlemen! My name is Paein and it is a pleasure to meet you! I bet you’re here for that contest, aren’t you?” His eyes twinkled with glee, and he laughed. “Oh, but don’t worry about that right now. I actually have a favor to ask of you.” He elbowed Sedimus good naturedly. “Will you help me?” If you do, your chances of finding something here are
very good.
Krypto:The fairy scowled at Allie, but fluttered obligingly down from Naomi’s shoulder. She hovered near the sunflower, and with a wave of her little hands, a door suddenly appeared on the front of the flower. She grinned, turning back to the two girls with an impish expression. “I’ll make sure that nasty Faechomp runs into a little surprise before it can get to you. Thank you for helping me!” She waved, and then indicated the egg, looking rather amused. “You should open that, by the way. You know, before it dissolves.” Indeed, the egg looked rather strange as it appeared and disappeared, seeming to be breaking into different particles. Maybe you should open it?
Thunder:The little girl looked rather put out. “You were supposed to climb up there yourself. That’s the point of the whole thing!” she growled, stomping her foot in annoyance. Turning her nose up into the air, the girl ‘hmphed’ and crossed her arms. “You’re no fun at all! You cheater!” But he had completed the task she’d asked him to do, so she was bound by her words to help him find the egg. Grumbling to herself, she pointed over to the picnic table. “Behind the watermelon, you’ll find what you’re looking for.”
