Arnigus Faymore waddles his way up to the Board of Public Announcements, a sheaf of papers in one hand, and a pastry clutched in the other. He pauses for a moment, seeming to consider how to post his papers without having to put his pastry down. Finally, with a shrug, he stuffs the entire pastry in his mouth so that he may pin the announcement up. He smiles to himself at the fancy lettering and gold leaf border. Turning to any who might be close, he begins a short speech.
“Hrrr eee, hrrr eee!” he starts, spraying powdered sugar into the air around his mouth full of pastry. He pauses momentarily, looking embarrassed, as he finishes chewing and finally give a loudly audible swallow. “Pardons! Many pardons my good folks. I forgot myself in my excitement. ‘What excitement?’ you may ask. Well! Let me tell you!”
Arnigus takes his best speaking pose, shoulders back and chest out over his massive belly.
“In light of all this talk of darkness and such, we have decided there needs to be something to lift the mood a bit. There is to be a Storytelling and Poetry event in Jardet’s Garden, which you might also know as the Secret Garden. Better still, there will be Money prizes for those favored by the crowds, and three larger prizes for those deemed best in the show! All you need to know is on this poster, and a similar one over in Ojaveda. I will see you there!”
Arnigus waddles back away from the Board, pulling another paper wrapped pastry from his pocket.
The poster reads as follows:
