[The Wellington Home, Washroom - ]
White porcelain wash basins and polished mirrors line one wall of this spacious washroom. Multicolored rugs woven with alphabet letters and animal shapes are scattered across the floor, and numerous partitions conceal large bath tubs. A fresh scent lingers in the room, proof of a recent cleaning. You also see a pocket mouse, a colorful curtain, a wooden door, an rolton-shaped can and a smudged glass window.
Also here: Miss Sycira, Orphan Addisynn, Orphan Pruella, Orphan Teliphon, Orphan Kenninga, Orphan Denilae, Orphan Christoper

A small orphan, dressed head-to-toe in fluffy white wool, dashes past with an older child in pursuit. "I've told you before, we don't have any roltons in our play this time," the elder yells, "take that costume off right now!" With a loud, "Baaaa!" the orphans head off in the direction of the Wellington Home.

Ordim declares, "This is going to be great!"

A small face appears briefly through a gap in the curtains, yells "Avast!" and ducks out of sight.

From nearby, you hear Pruella yell, "She stepped on my tentacle!"

   "I'd like to thank everyone for taking time out of your busy anniversay afternoon to come watch our play!"

You softly say, "Hush now children."

Sycira says, "The children have been working so, so hard and I am so so proud and..."

Sycira dabs at a tear at the corner of her eye.

Sycira slowly empties her lungs.

Erek grins.

You smile.

You softly exclaim, "I'm going to go and watch, you'll all be wonderful!"

Sycira recites:

   "The children have practiced all week for this!  Please feel free to interact when they ask, otherwise you'll have to walk the plank!"

Speaking quietly to Elysia, Erek says, "Ooh a pirate show."

Sycira adds, "Into the shark and Fluffy-infested waters."

Elysia nods eagerly at Erek.

Cryheart appears to be trying hard not to grin.

[The Wellington Home, Stage]
Erected from rough oak planks on low struts, the rickety platform is surrounded on three sides by colorful curtains suspended on poles and bears all the signs of having been hastily assembled. Several blue blankets are scattered on the floor around an enormous wooden box, and a steel bucket sits in the wings. A line of small chairs has been neatly arranged along the open side of the makeshift stage, granting the audience a perfect view of the scene. You also see a long plank of wood and a frayed white sheet hanging overhead.

Erek grins.

Akenna cries, "Avast!"

A frayed white bedsheet bears the crudely painted depiction of a skull and crossbones with the telltale signs of child-sized fingerprints and smudges around the periphery. The improvised sail hangs above the box, swaying back and forth on the breeze.

Speaking to Kenninga, Cylnthia exclaims, "Oh, or perhaps are you telling us of how the pie shop *became* no more?!"

Cylnthia turns an inquisitive ear toward Kenninga.

Orphan Denilae just arrived.

You see Orphan Denilae.br> She appears to be a Human from Aldora.
She is short. She appears to be very young. She has piercing crystal green eyes and freckled skin. She has raggedly cut, tangled copper red hair. She has a bony face, a button nose and a birth mark.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a giant bucket filled with bits of blue-colored confetti in her left hand.
She is wearing a smudged tag, a turquoise silk top stuck with two lopsided clam shells, a woven belt of bright ribbons, a small unevenly hemmed burlap pouch painted with dull-colored flowers and vines, and a shredded blue silk skirt covered in shiny green paper scales.

Meliyara laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement from Ordim.

Ianthra applauds Denilae.

Orphan Denilae just tiptoed stealthily through some colorful curtains.


The curtains part at the back of the stage and Addisynn and Teliphon can be seen attempting to drag a large, heavy chest through them.
