TEST DRIVE #1
These woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but being lost in them is pretty alarming to most people. Perhaps it's lucky you're hearing what sounds like... a party?
If you follow the sounds through thinning trees, a brick-paved road rises from the ground ahead. Keep going, and you'll find yourself approaching a bustling festival. Small, jaunty, colorful buildings line a way bedecked with flags, banners, and (of course) ever-present vendors.
Good morrow! Dost thou carest for a turkey leg? Some funnel cake? Modestly priced costume jewelry? Come right this way, dear visitor! The faire is here!
First, however, the fairies would like a moment of your time...

A FAIRE SHAKE
A renaissance faire is in full swing in the woods today, or so it would seem. But no one here is just playing a part: these outsize personalities, bright costumes, and pseudo-Elizabethan voices are perfectly real.
a) The Fairy Toll
You do one of several reasonably innocuous and/or weird things in exchange for fairy coin. It's really not meant to seem sinister.

b) New and In Stock
You tried to steal from the fairies, or have otherwise misbehaved. The fairies like your moxie and will actually let you keep what you took (if you took something), but first you're gonna have to do some time in the stocks.

c) I'm Just Here For the Turkey Leg

e) Everyone's a Comedian

i) Fortune Told
A mystical fortune teller (not a roma stereotype, very clearly some other imagery) is going to predict your future. Loudly. Whether you like it or not.

j) Out of Water
You draw attention to yourself with your behavior, or by how strange your manner of dress is. People are starting to give you the stink eye or ask you invasive questions. Will your threadmate help you out?
