While gorging themselves on lab-burner corn and enjoying the double-feature Tanaka had so graciously provided the Fallen Angels picked apart the puzzle Tony and Jedro had left for them earlier.  Once they figured out which band was most likely the one their wayward prince Caniel was performing with, it was time to get ready for the concert.  The six of them decided to meet at Atrueheart's suite after changing and quietly excused themselves, grabbing handfuls of Thorson's delicious popped corn on their way out.

Checking her reflection for the 10th time, Laurie scowled.  Finding something she considered suitable to wear to the concert was easy, she was even able to tolerate the odd feeling and her eye's watering from the colored contacts.  But getting that blankety-blank wig on right..  Not so much.  I give up!  This stupid thing has got it out for me she mumbled to herself, only one thing to do..  Speaking out-loud she said "Come on Hope, let's go see if Moriel's busy."  Hearing the word's "lets go" her little bear cub grabbed Laurie's hand and toddled toward the door as fast as her little legs could go.

While dropping her beloved cub off in the dire wolf's capable paws, Laurie lamented to Talli about her war of the wig, continuing to whine as the two of them left her room, met up with Webby half way down the hall and right up to when they reached their destination.  Realizing she's dominated the entire conversation as they reach Atrueheart's suite, she paused, hand on the door handle.  "What about you Talli?" she asked, "I've seen you do all kinds of magic so I know you can change your appearance.  What are you doing about your hair for this?  Wig or maaagic?" and opened the door, unaware of the horrified expression on her friend's face.

"Hey ladies, how are your preparations going?" Jeice greeted as the door opened to reveal the rest of the Fallen Angels.  "Hey True! Calie!  Jeice!" Oblivious, Laurie and Webby greeted the rest of the team. "Oooh, Truuuue.. Laurie needs help again!" Webby sang, but Jeice spotted the look that Talli was directing towards Laurie. "Uh...you okay Talli?"  "Change...my hair?" Talli whispered. Laurie turned around, tilting her head in confusion.  "Well yeah, to help you blend in more." she reasoned, frowning. "That should be a walk in the park for you, right?"  Talli sputtered, "Well, I- I- of course I could, but..." She began to look more and more distressed as she thought about it. She shook her head wildly, "No, I couldn't. I mean I can, but I can't." She looked down to her feet for a moment before speaking again, "Elves are...well, we're very proud of our hair. I suppose I could just fix it using magic later but..." she whined a little, trailing off.

Laurie looked at True with a puzzled expression on her face while Webby moved to comfort the distraught Elf, patting her shoulder while reassuring her that she didn't have to change her hair. Then, a mischievous grin came across Jeice's face. "Can your magic regrow hair?" Talli jumped and gave her an incredulous look.  "Jeice, whatever you're thinking...no."  "Awe, it'll be fun, I promise!"  

Talli made a bolt for the other side of the room to hide behind Calie, who was dressed in lovely earth-themed clothing. "By the gods, you're insane!" Talli squealed.  "Oh come on, you're over 100 years old, have some fun!" Jeice threw up her hands in faux-exasperation, tossing Calie a wink as Talli used her as a human shield.  "You know," Calie started, "I think I know a style that would suit you rather well, Talli.  Talli groaned, "Oh, not you too!" She straightened, putting her hands on her hips. "Fine, but if I look silly, I'm blaming it on you two!" Talli trudged over to the bed and sat down, crossing her arms. "What's this idea of yours?"

"Change can be liberating, Talli." Atrueheart said with a smile and Jeice snorted, earning herself yet another of those patented 'Atrueheart glares' she's so accustom to receiving.  "You'll be fine, Talli," Calie said reassuringly, "Oh, and Jeice, keep in mind you're about to experiment with someone's hair that can turn you into a newt.  Permanently."  

Confident any hurt feelings she may have indirectly caused were forgotten Laurie's mind snapped back to the problem at hand and tossed the wig she had chosen on the vanity.  "This thing is impossible!" she declared.  "Nothing is impossible, hon" True said as she and Calie exchanged knowing glances as she crossed the room to join them.  Atrueheart signaled for Laurie to take a seat.  Calie snatched a severely gnawed No.2 from behind Laurie's ear as she slumped into the chair. "No pencil this time." Laurie opened her mouth to protest but unable to recall reading a single incident mentioning anyone taking notes at a concert she huffed "Fine.  Lets just get this over with."

After a few minutes of insufferable tugging, tucking and tussling, the leader of the Fallen Angels was able to accomplish what her warrior could not.  Laurie walked across the room, making sure the horns didn't throw off her balance in any way and caught sight of Talli's new doo.  "Wow, nice job Jeice, Talli you look fabulous!"  Continuing, she said "So.  Any of y'all ever heard of BorderBy? I meant to ask the guys about it but didn't get the chance.  I wonder what the concert grounds will look like, they must have some sort of Fae backdrops, don't you think?"  

As the Fallen Angels began talking about what they imagined the concert they were about to attend might look like the lights in the room began to dim.  "Talli are you doing that?" Atrueheart asked and Talli replied "Why yes, yes I am."  True, who imagined the whole place would be a throng of neon lights and special effects looked at her reflection and nodded approvingly.  Turning to check out the rest of her team she grinned as the visions inside their minds came to life around them.  One by one they gazed in wonder at their reflections in the  mirror.  "I love it!" Calie exclaimed, "I know, right!?" Laurie agreed, "this is so awesome Talli!" "Not bad if I do say so myself" Jeice quipped, which is quite the compliment if you know Jeice, and Webby squealed with pure delight, surprised and thrilled that the vision she could see surrounding the others was quite different from her own.

"Y'all look amazing Angels," Atrueheart said, "and thank you Talli, but ladies if we don't get a move on, imagination is all we're going to have to go on."  Her team laughed and quickly returned to the Goose, ready to seek out a certain Seelie Prince and whatever other adventures the night may bring.

As the moviefest was announced, Amdir, Jilly, Anna and Juana headed to watch, chattering to each other and commenting on the delightful smell of ‘lab burner corn’ wafting up the stairs to greet and lure them onward.

“I hope it tastes as good as it smells,” Amdir said as they reached the basement which was already occupied by some of the other teams.

“I don’t really trust food fixed in a lab,” Juana said, finding a seat and settling in.

Anna, deciding to play guinea pig, took a handful of corn and munched on it. “Mmm!”

“Well that answers that,” Amdir declared and helped herself to some of the treat as well.

“It seems safe enough,” Jilly said, taking a bite. “Look at all the others eating it.”

Juana looked around and rather reluctantly tried some of the corn, but was soon enjoying her own portion.

All four Misfits made themselves comfortable, munching and enjoying the movies. That is until the problem of the bands was mentioned. At that point Jilly and Juana abandoned their companions in favor of solving the puzzle.

After the four girls left the Misfits’ rooms, Leaf looked down at Jenna. “Would you like to see these movies?” he asked.

Jenna nodded. “I think it would be fun. I don’t want to miss out on some of the enjoyment and times together.” Seeing the elf regard her closely, she smiled and patted his arm. “I’m fine now. Ertrude said so…you even said it yourself that I was recovered,” she reminded. “Stop fretting about me, my protector.”

Leaf smiled slightly. “I can’t help it. I worry,” he said.

“I know,” Jenna smiled back and sat up to kiss him. “Now do you believe I feel fine,” she murmured.

Holding Jenna close and returning the kiss, the elf said with a devilish grin, “You certainly ‘feel’ fine to me.” One hand slowly moved down Jenna’s side.

“Leaf…” Jenna blushed and batted at his hand, giggling as his lean fingers glided over one of her ticklish spots.

Leaf winked and kissed her again before rising from the bed and swinging the bard into his arms once more. Jenna was about to protest that she could walk, but then stopped. It was nice to be pampered a bit and she would be beyond foolish to complain about being in the elf’s arms. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and enjoyed the feel and smell of her beloved as she was given a free ride down to the basement. Finding herself comfortable ensconced on a couch, Jenna snuggled close to Leaf and together they watched some of the movies.

At an intermission between movies, Leaf looked over at the shelf from where the discs were being taken and shook his head. “That shelf is a mess,” he said and stood to go and look at the titles only to find himself presented with a new puzzle. This was one that the elf didn’t mind and he set to work, sorting and stacking, bringing neatness and order to the movies.

Jenna grinned as she watched the ranger work. He did like things to be neat and precise…most of the time. She giggled at the thought of how part of his room at home was always a mess. Leaf had blushingly admitted that it had always been that way from his early elflinghood, regardless of reminders, lectures, or even punishments from his father. At last his father had decided to stop the battle and so long as the majority of the room was neat, the young prince was allowed an area of complete mess. For a few years, Leaf had taken complete advantage of this, but then as he grew older he learned that things tended to get lost in the messy area. Therefore, now only less important things were tossed there and his prized possessions remained neat and tidy and easy to find.

“Hey!” Leaf suddenly called and Jenna looked over. “I wonder if this is a coincidence or not.” He carried over a movie and pointed something out to the bard.

Laughing, Jenna shook her head. “In this place, I’ve come to think there are no coincidences.”

“Another puzzle within a puzzle, hmm?” Leaf smiled and returned to his task.

Amdir and Anna continued to enjoy the movies and corn and once Leaf was done with the organizing, he returned to the couch and pulled Jenna into his arms again, relaxing together for a bit.

Jilly groaned and dropped her head in her hands. “Ohhh…this thing is giving me a headache!!” She shoved the attempts at solving the band puzzle away from her, sick of looking at them for the time being.

Juana frowned. She was not succeeding in this latest ‘battle’ as she wanted to and it was frustrating the warrior no end. “I just don’t get it,” she scowled. “Where are we going wrong??”

“I don’t know,” Jilly said, looking at the notes they had made for what seemed to be the hundredth time. “Unless…” She began scribbling again. “What if…” she leaned over and whispered to Juana, pointing to the paper.

“That might be it!” Juana exclaimed, causing a few people to look her way. She shrugged and ignored them. What did it matter if they thought she was nuts, as long as they solved the puzzle!

As the movies finished, people began to disperse to get ready for the concert. The Misfits had finished the two puzzles thrown their way and were now ready to get changed into their faerock attire.

“So which band are we going to see tonight?” Amdir asked.

Jilly and Juana answered at the same time and Amdir and the others nodded. The group gathered at the table to peruse the posters and glean ideas.

“Dressing as fans of a band should be easy,” the vagabond said. “We did the same thing last year, remember?”

“I remember having to try to look like a boy,” Anna said, wrinkling her nose.

“And some of us had to be Nancy,” Jenna grinned, recalling their previous exploits.

“And did a wonderful job too,” Leaf assured with a grin of his own. “But I agree with Amdir, we should have no problem with this one.”

“Easy for you to say, elf boy,” Jilly teased lightly, pushing Leaf and they all laughed.

“Okay so I have a bit of a head start on the whole fey/elf prince look,” the ranger grinned. “But I’m sure you ladies will do me proud.”

Laughing and chatting as they headed upstairs together, Leaf escorted Jenna to her room and left her with a kiss. “I will meet you at the bottom of the stairs as soon as we’re ready,” he said with a smile before going to his own room.

Once in his own room, the elf grinned to himself. Pale he could do and to him the lightning part looked more like snow or ice, so…out came clothing suited to the theme as well as the matching color scheme. Leaf again was thankful his older brother was such a fashion guru and had schooled his younger brother on the finer points of color matching, even when Leaf had scoffed and rolled his eyes. Who would have ever thought it would come in handy?

Now what to do about his eyes and hair? Leaf frowned thoughtfully and dug through his things again. He took out a small bottle of liquid and put a drop of it in each eye, holding them closed for the count of twenty. Then he turned to the mirror and smiled at the results. The potion had enhanced and brought out the blue in his normally blue-grey eyes. It was perfect for an ‘icy’ look. Next came his hair and Leaf shuddered to think what his father would have said, but this was something that had to be done for the sake of the adventure. He withdrew a flask and disappeared into the bathing chamber. When he returned, his normally golden hair had been lightened until it was closer to white than gold. The elf knew that it would take several washes to take away all of the rinse, but his hair would be its normal color by the time he returned home and more than likely long before.

Pleased with his appearance, Leaf dressed in the clothing articles he had laid out earlier. Looking in the mirror, he smiled. Who but an elf prince could match another elf prince, he thought. He only hoped that they could find Caniel tonight and actually speak to him about what he’d done, why, and what to do next. Leaf left his room and made his way to the ground floor once more, waiting near the staircase for the girls.

Jilly ran into her room and started tearing through her clothes, muttering to herself. She knew that she had the perfect outfit for the concert tonight; it was just a matter of finding it! Finally she located the pants.

“Now, where is my corset??” she laughed as she kept digging. Spotting it, she reached for the corset and added it to the clothes in her arms. “Ok, outfit found,” she said, going into the bathroom to hang it up. She then turned on the shower, using nothing but hot water, in an effort to get rid of wrinkles. With that part of her task accomplished, Jilly returned to the bedroom and searched her closet for the shoes to match her outfit.

“Now for makeup,” she smiled, seating herself in front of the mirror. Jilly carefully outlined her blue eyes and added the finishing touches. “Done,” she smiled at her reflection before going to retrieve her clothes. It only took a short time to slip into her outfit, dab on some perfume and take a final look in the mirror. Sighing at her hair, Jilly shook her head. It needed something else, but what? She looked through her things again but came up empty-handed. “Well, too late now, the others will be waiting,” she said and then headed down the stairs to meet up with the rest of the group.

Anna hurried upstairs muttering the whole way. "I think I should've brought my entire wardrobe with me. Every time I turn around we have to change our clothes. I don't even know if I have anything concert worthy". She quickly did a complete circle in her closet and eyed a gorgeous blue dress. “Hmm…now there’s a possibility,” she said to herself, removing it from the closet. She decided to go take a shower and fix her hair and makeup first. She quickly finished her hair and makeup before walking back to her room. She slipped on her new outfit. Giving it one final look, she grinned to herself and whispered a spell, creating a small sphere in her hand, and causing blue lightning to surround her hand and arm. “Perfect for the group we’re going to see,” the mage declared as she headed out of the room.

Jenna went to her bag and pulled out her silver top. She blushed as she found some of her lace at the bottom of the bag. She had intended on wearing it for her beloved when they were alone, but it seemed more appropriate to wear it over her top instead. She found the sheer dress that Leaf had gotten for her during the break from their adventures. It fit nicely with the outfit. She then pulled on her lace stockings and then with a slight groan, managed to put her boots on as well. She was still a little sore from their battle. A little eye makeup with sparkles completed the look. She brushed her hair, popped on the spikey headband, and after a satisfied look in the mirror she headed downstairs to meet the others.

Juana stared at the pictures of the bands billed for the show. Stormboys eh? She thought to herself. They sure are shiny... First things first, I will have to find a way to lighten my hair. She pulled out her makeup bag and found some silver sparkly paint. Sitting in the mirror, she used a portion of it to decorate her face, then wiped the rest through her hair. She dug through her closet, grabbing out anything that sparkled or shimmered, and managed to find some broodingly colorful lightning leggings to boot. She threw on a few of her dual purpose garments to be sure she would be prepared. A rock concert is the perfect scenery for concealed weapons. Hidden blades in my shoes and corset, sharp wire for... who knows what, masquerading as anklets. Perfect. She got out her darkest henna ink for some nice body art to match the setting and checked herself out in the mirror. Hmm... something is missing. Flint flew to the back of her closet and came out with what looked like another sprite. OH! Juana exclaimed, That will do perfectly! And off she went to meet the others.

Leaf looked up at the sound of footsteps on the stairs and grinned as some of his team-mates started down. He gave Amdir a rakish wink and said, “Looking good, vagabond.” Then his gaze went to movement at the top and his eyes widened as Jenna descended. The elf gave an appreciative whistle. “You know, I was all ready to see Pale Lightning and the Stormboys…they looked like the best and were my favorite out of the posters. But I’m beginning to think we might not need them since we have Lightning Leaf and the Storm Rockers,” he quipped with a grin.

OOC- was stuck in traffic so I put her HA together in my wardrobe because we needed to add to hers.
