The Greatest Show pops out from a nearby bush, wearing accessories from the different booths available this winter market. He twists and spins, performing a dance that screams out "follow me!"
As you trail him to the back of the clearing, you see now with an active passageway, a tent made of plaid material interwoven with leaves, crushed thin metal container, vines, round head coverings with a lip, flowers, and patches of denim. From inside the tent you hear ethereal whispers followed by canned laughter, foley sounds followed by odd sounding applause, and music performed by a live band. The Greatest Show motions for you to enter.
"This next attraction entertains the masses beyond those seen by the performers! A world manufactured to keep the attention of an audience and tell a story, usually in thirty minutes. A story close to reality so that those watching can relate to it, but filled with enough hijinks and drama that those who see it live vicariously through the lives of the performers! Remember as you watch or participate that the beings here are alien to our world and their behaviors and actions might not make sense to you. Regardless, let the applause be your guide as you enter Dryad Redneck TV!!!"
For this final week (December 26 through January 1) you may participate in this RP activity for raffle tickets to win the dryad acha kin prizes!
For this activity, your kin's AU will be in humanoid form dropped into a sitcom where dryad nature spirits lve and experience redneck hijinks and drama!
DISCLAIMER: "Redneck" is a colloquial term often associated with negative stereotypes as Media and TV frequently perpetuate these misconceptions. I am well aware that people may not actually be like this and that my understanding of the subculture might be shallow and ignorant. I mean no offense in using these depictions and situations. I just want to make a fun fusion of the concepts as an RP exercise.
All that you have to do is roll a d6 for your RP prompt below where your AU kin will be acting with one of the dryad acha in a surreal scene. Play out the scene as though you are acting in a TV sitcom, adding as much or as little detail as you'd like, and end the scene either with the resolution of the conflict, solution of the problem, your kin trying out a catch phrase, creating a misunderstanding, or whatever other sitcom TV trope you can come up with!
1. The green dryad talks to you about fixing the roof in their trailer house overgrown with vines and branches poking in from the trees outside. She only has duct tape, leaves, and a fitted sheet to use to do it. How would you go about helping her?
2. The blue dryad is making fermented drinks with you in the back of the trailer park forest clearing. She wants you to test out her latest concoction. What is the flavor or result of drinking this new experiment?
3. The pink dryad is choosing whether to go out on a date with a thin smart boy and a big muscular boy and she's asking you for advice. You know something about one of her potential dates that she doesn't know about. What is it and what will you tell her?
4. The blue dryad took you along to go watch the car race! It's a round track and the cars have to go around it five hundred times before they get to find out who wins. You don't share the same enthusiasm about the race as your dryad friend. Do you leave her, find something else to do, or stay a suffer in silence for your friend? What happens when the blue dryad notices?
5. The pink dryad is joining a sports competition and invited you to watch. You don't want to disappoint her, but a series of unfortunate events happens to try to delay you. What are those events? Did you miss your friend's event or get there right in the nick of time?
6. The green dryad is shooting magical rays at jars on the side of one of the overgrown trailer homes when a stray shot hits one of the trailer's windows. She looks to you as to what to do as the owner inside the trailer starts to audibly make their way outside. What do you do and what happens?
You may make up to 3 entries using different kin. Each entry will count towards the raffle for the dryad acha at the end of the week.
