Nods at the proclamation and heads home, on the way she scratches an itch on her chin, pulls her hand away to look at her nails and a rough spot she felt. Shrugs as it's no big deal, and pulls a small file from her bag and does her usual job on it while she walks.. But instead of getting better... It gets worse!!! Realizing this she pauses in her steps, her brows furrow in concentration as she works on it again.

Speaks softly, slightly upset "No... What's going on?! Are...Are they getting worse?... No!" Runs to her cabin searches for scissors and tries to cut the nails that she now notices are STILL growing! And at a fast rate too! So, she hides in her cabin weeping and constantly trying to "fix" her nails.

So... sadly on this eve this usually well groomed lass, and her now permanently unfiled nails, that keep growing all crooked, twisted, and with rough, cracked edges no matter what she tries, is never seen again as she hides in her cabin, in shame. Constantly trying to repair the curse that was set upon her, eventually driving her to madness in it's wake.

The Demon Eyes set and Sunrifter graces the land of Fol once again. The handsome and wise Vicegerent Raffe arises to update the population list and announce the new ruler for the turn.
“Hear ye! Hear ye! Well, hear me anyway. It is my pleasure to decree that Queen Bebhinn Mac Airem ‘The Powerful, but slightly less powerful than some and still yet more powerful than some others’ is now ruler of Fol! Reign well More or Less Powerful Queen Bebhinn! May your Folishness see us through to a brighter turn!”

The Vicegerent happily returns to his home as his duties are complete.

*pokes his head out of his window again, shaking his head at poor Lav's fate and then turning to grin over to Bebhinn* I will help any way I can to clear out the demons that made poor Lavender suffer

*shudders at the evil curse which has fallen on Lavender, then turns to speak to Bebhinn*
Greetings, your Majesty-ish. Rest assured, all true denizens of Fol will maintain their vigilance and inform you of their suspicions.

After taking a moment to adjust to this sudden and most unexpected rise in station - More or Less Powerful Queen Bebhinn attempts to majestically glide onto the royal balcony (sadly failing, tripping not once but twice) to address her denizens.

Trying to hide her clear embarrassment she exclaims "Good citizens of Fol!" , "Your More or Less Powerful Queen needs your aid! Please cast your votes and help me rid the lands of this Demonic Foe!"

As the stars fill the sky and the turn slips away, More or Less Powerful Queen Bebhinn bites her thumb as she sits quietly studying the wisdom of her people.

"I have pondered long and hard your advice my people, and I am sorry but ... Reesa!" she sighs, with a visibly heavy heart, "I hereby banish you from the kingdom of Fol!"

The Demon Eyes rise high into the sky with the sounds of heinous demon doings echoing across the lands.
How wise was the rule of the More or Less Powerful Be jinn? How close are the vile demons to ruling the lands of Fol? Only the most folish outcomes await the unsuspecting denizens of this fragile kingdom.

*watches as Reesa departs* Noooo!

*to Reesa* Trust that I will endeavor to do my best, on my Honor, to uphold the family name.

Could this mean the return of Hansen?

*returns to the hall, eagerly anticipating a well-deserved meal. Takes a sip of wine to wash down a morsel of hog-roast, then splutters and coughs*
Gods, is the wine off? It tastes of MSG! What can have happened?
*sniffs cautiously at another glass of wine* This seems more fresh *Sips at the glass, then spits the drink into a nearby plant-pot*
MSG! It tastes of MSG! No, they can't curse me like this ... not taking away my wine! A man can't survive on MSG alone!

The Wise, Handsome and mostly Magnanimous Vicegerent arises on another glorious Riftershine.

“Attention denizens is Fol! This turn’s ruler is Queen Cordelia ‘the Scintillating’! May her rule result in ultimate Folishness among all denizens! Let us pray that the gods give her more sense and less late than precious rulers!”

With the announcement done, the Vicegerent retreats from the Folish audience to his most holy, and quite safe, abode.

Queen Cordelia the Scintillating, sitting at the desk in her living quarters, unlocks a drawer and whips out a parchment. She examines it carefully, crossing one name off the list, then hovers over another with a tiny furrow in her brow.

After a part-marc of contemplation she throws her cloak on and hurries off. Soon the World Crier, in a somewhat puzzled tone, proclaims "Denizens of... uh... Fol? Please advise your scintillating ruler of any suspicious behavior you may witnessed."
