[PQ] there's magic in the making

A m a l i a The number of people who appear is stunning, each one eliciting a smile from the baker. That a fae is first catches her by surprise; Amalia blinks as the faerie flutters in, too speechless to reply as she watches the small woman stuff cake into her mouth. The rest are familiar: Remi and Phoebe, Jory and Melita, and the baker greets them all in turn, waiting for the dust (and glitter) to settle before launching into explanations. "Thanks for coming, everyone. Ah... so, my grandmother used to do a puppet show for the Festival of Lights every year, and we - Ludo - thought it might be nice to do it again this year." She shrugs lightly, her cheeks a little bright, the Ludo puppet fluttering between her fingers as she thinks. "Basically, there's two big things to work on today. The puppets have to be made -  a herd of luxere, a bunch of lanterns, and some people. Oh, and Ludo needs a costume to look like Safrin." Laughing at the idea, Amalia shakes her head. "Then the actual stage needs some repairs and a new coat of paint. And whatever decorations you want. The brighter the better." She nods at the little mobile stage, once majestic and beautiful, now rather dilapidated. "The story we're doing is about when Ludo hid the stars by getting a herd of Luxere to surround Safrin's bed during the Festival of Lights, so she thought the sun didn't set and forgot to bring out the stars." Pick your role! Will you work on the puppets or the stage? She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine
