┎────────────────❦────────────────┒ There's always time for tea at the Taste Tea Tribe Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp. ┖────────────────❦────────────────┚
A heady scent fills the air, fresh and sweet and if it isn't invitation enough to take a seat, the smile of the acha that greets you will be. Sunny is giddy - she's discovered a new game while in her travels. Apparently, some kin like to tell silly little made up stories about others over tea and Sunny cannot wait to join in. What silly little story has she heard about you?
────────────────❦──────────────── OOC: Sunny has just discovered gossiping or "spilling the tea" if you will and she thinks it's a silly game.

┎────────────────❦────────────────┒ How to Play ┖────────────────❦────────────────┚
Sunny pours you some tea and leans in close, whispering softly so as to not be overheard, revealing the gossip she's heard...
"I heard that... [blank] [blank] and [blank.]" Once the tea has been spilled, she breaks into laughter, no matter what your reaction is and politely asks you to move on so she can spill the tea with the next player.
Game Mechanics
Roll 4d10and match your dice to the below (you can change the tense so it's grammatically correct).
Write a short RP response reacting to the goss. Maybe you heard some gossip about Sunny!
You can enter this contest up to three times with three different kin.
Each response gets you an entry into the raffle at the end for fabulous prizes detailed below.
If you draw a funny little drawing of your rumour you'll get a bonus ticket.
This booth closes at 12:01AM EST Tuesday the 17th of December
The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that Your brother Pays pebbles to knock on wood and steal hearts" RP response: As she leaned in she said "I heard that Your brother Pays pebbles to knock on wood and steal hearts" Do you even have a brother, though? I mean, that was just what I had heard and if it's not true then I shouldn't be spreading it around. I honestly don't even know who told me at this point, but I just wanted you to know that's what I heard. Prize prefs: 6

The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your sister pays pebbles to eat funny mushrooms and shake bushes." RP response: Fun blinked at this little tidbit, both genuinely shocked and confused. "I'm not sure why someone would pay to shake a bush, but to each their own, I guess," she stammered before addressing what actually concerned her, "Though I think they're most scalding traits of that is that I have a sister!" Slightly dazed, she walked away from the laughter to ponder if what the acha said was true or not. Prize prefs: 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1

The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your neighbour like(s) knocking on wood and fighting imaginary friends! RP response: "Oh, my yes! Just last week you should have seen her! Outside smacking the bushes and screaming at nothing! I nearly passed out in fright! Not to mention the weird obsession of collecting pieces of logs... must be her knocking fetish that seemed to developed out of nowhere. But to each their own I suppose." Spot of Tea sips... well her tea and looks to the other kins for more gossip. Prize prefs: 6,3,2,1,4,5.
The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "You heard that [ I ] got caught knocking on wood and pretending to be a monster!" RP response: Docile leans in close to her mother to share a bit of counter-gossip, "I know you've heard the story going around about the monsters and wood but it's simply not true mom! Does this look like a face that would lie to you?" Docile gave his best innocent watery eye expression that shouted 'please believe me'. Prize prefs: 6,3,2,1,4,5.

The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "You heard that Your neighbour like[ s ] yelling at clouds and speaking in tongues!" RP response: "I have a bit of goss! I was out in my garden the other day when I was startled half to death by a loud scream! I happened to look over at my neighbour, you know the one, and there they were saying things that made me question a lot of things." Dwell paused for dramatic effect and leaned in. "Maybe they are a devil worshipper, who knows or maybe partaking on the devils lettuce. But you didn't hear it from me!" Prize prefs: 6,3,2,1,4,5.
The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your brother likes knocking on wood and pretending to be a monster. RP response: Coaxing Melody wondered which of her brothers the acha was talking about. Perhaps this was some sort of misunderstanding involving Sing Until Your Lungs Give Out being so noisy at such inopportune times. Or maybe this was about One Song and his infectious tendency to get a tune stuck in his head and then just sing it all day. Regardless, either of them really should be knocking on wood--the sillies! Prize prefs: 1, 2, 6, 4, 5, 3

The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your father pays pebbles to stepping one cracks and fighting fat fish." RP response: Big Foot squinted at Sunny after hearing what the acha had just said. "How does one pay pebbles to tasks?" He was bewildered. Was this some turn of phrase he was unaware of? Was it some sort of slang that the younger kin had developed? He did not know. All he knew was that, as Sunny shooed him away and called the next kin in line, Big Foot did not like this "tea" that was being "spilled" Prize prefs: 1, 2, 6, 4, 5, 3
The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your sister is addicted to scaring cranes and speaking in tongues." RP response: Communication assumed that Sunny was talking about his twin sister Just Wild Beat. He already knew she was an oddball, so he wouldn't be surprised if these rumors about her were true. With their mom's ability, speaking in tongues sounds perfectly possible for one of his siblings to end up doing eventually. Prize prefs: 1, 2, 6, 4, 5, 3
The tea has been spilled! Hot gossip: "I heard that your brother pays pebbles to eating funny mushrooms and fighting fat fish. RP response: The Sound of Trees laughed. "If he does, I had no idea. But I hope he does because then I could make fun of him." Just the thought of it made her laugh again. "Thank you for telling me. I'm going to tell everyone." And she went off to do exactly that. Prize prefs: 6, 5, 4, 2, 1, 3
