My players have decided to host a banquet for some fae in hopes of showing off their power. How can I fuck with them short of outright hostilities at the party? Really any kind of idea for events/conversations/characters would be appreciated. I'm trying to stock the place up so they can work the room on their own and meet some people.
Fair folk in this setting are of the cosmically autistic variety. Not outright cruel, but incredibly petty and not great at wrapping their heads around the whole concept of human rights. Pet humans will be in attendance as well.
Do a rip off of the Trojan War. Have the Prince of Fools show up uninvited, bearing a golden apple engraved with the words "For the most beautiful". Watch trouble ensue as multiple fae queens insist it should be theirs.

That's pretty fucking awesome
I'd recommend just having the fae creatures belittle the humans whenever possible. No matter what they do the fae think it's quaint, but they're impressed with just how much humans can manage with "limited potential" etc

>The unearthly tall lady in front of you bends down and hands you a box. It's surprisingly heavy. >You remove the lid to find a disturbingly accurate replica of your own head >It begins screaming, "NO! DO NOT GO THERE! WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT GO BEYOND IT! LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE WANT TO GO TO AND BE OF THEM! DO NOT GO --" >You shut the lid. "Thank you." >"Yes... it was made special for you, some... hundred years ago, perhaps. It prophecies, sometimes, we think." >It does not do to refuse a gift from the Fae

>I appreciate your graciousness, Lords. >I'm honored to accept your gift. >The fae seizes a nearby NPC >I hope you don't mind but I've already got a few of these kind. I'll just... > Twists the person as they scream in agony, inverting joints and bending the spine >Jeff the waiter is now Jeff the "dog"

When they stop the party, it should be years into the future and everything has changed. The party hasn't aged in that time.
There should be tall fae, small, maybe some undine or water nymphs. Maybe fae of each elemental kingdom

>You double-take as you suddenly come face to face with... your own face? >Standing before you is an exact copy of you, albeit clad in a glittery, skin-tight catsuit, with a belled choker around its neck, and a strange, dazed, hazy-eyed expression on its face, somewhere between blissful and lobotomized, mouth wide open. >It seems to be looking through you, rather than at you, no matter how much you might try and grab its attention, and just as a dollop of drool begins to drip from its lower lip, it turns on its heel and scurries away. >You chase after it amidst the hustle and bustle of the banquet, near-losing sight of it more than once, but then it stops, joining a whole group of... more you's? Same body, same face, same strange attire; a group of nine or ten, flocked like ducklings around a gangly, slender-limbed elfin... thing, easily seven or eight feet tall, clad in a purple-striped fur cloak, and armlets made of rainbow-gold, facing away from you. >The "you" you encountered first tugs at its master's sleeve and points in your direction, and without thinking, your eyes fast-track to the creature's head, and you barely have time to notice its many prehensile antennae before its neck snaps 180 degrees, and you're suddenly transfixed, your eyelids pried open by an invisible force, as its all-black, glistening, lidless eyes, how many you're not sure, lock with yours, for a split second that dilates into so much more, where the murmur of the banquet fades into the background as silken whispers in a tongue you've never heard before worm their way into your ear canals, summoning a delirious stream of images in your head that you'll never be able to unsee. >The walls of the room bend and flex, the ground quakes, contours melt into each other, colors sound strange, and the creature grins a needle-fanged grin much wider than its face should allow...

If a player compliments an object out of turn as in trying to start conversation, the fae will try to make it a permanent part of that person.
Compliment the food to start conversation? Never taste anything but what you complimented ever again.
Compliment a fae's dancing ability without seeing them dance and low charisma? Get teleported back every night for an hour to dance with them.
