Moresca Ball

The subtitle should be Pumpkin Pie for All

I was particularly impressed with James' droll comments on the informality of the presentations of several of the people.  I will be certain to get as close to the front of the line as possible in the future to hear them all.  Lore:  Etiquette is sorely needed.

The food on the whole was wonderful.  Particularly prescient was James asking me to bag my stew and bring breads and fruit.  Mike Smith making chililess chili was wonderful, although I fully expected bacon to be in it somewhere.

In general, I ate well and often. 
Geoff - thanks for taking pictures and honchoing the cider.
Chocolate sauce.
Costumes were wonderful.
I particularly enjoyed the interplay between Aaron and Alex T.

Deciding that I am no longer going to be a nice guy, but will still be/try to be a good priest.
Alex B - your performance was harsh, yet understated.  I enjoyed the RP and am thankful weapons were not allowed.  Ditto for Cooper, but I would not have minded weapons being there.

As always, my interplay with Michelle Adams was intense. 

Showing Ella Rae that being a priest who is good dopes not mean one who is kind or likeable.
Guessing correctly the author of a riddle that was posed to me.

Finding out I took second in the Kormyre Chess Championship.

Having Kwildar express his emotions on my poem.  It led to a nice little RP session that I felt brought us closer together. 

Speaking to Brax and instructing him in the Pantheon of Light, with help from Mother Quin.

Mother Rosa coming back and speaking with her.  Short and intense.  Seems to be my theme.

Yahtzee - nuff said.  I know its a long drive, but please...

Wow, amazing amount of chaos in Kwildar's life for such a low key event.  Let's see, in no particular order.

RP with Charlie as Edwin, and Kwildar's anger over things bubbling over a little bit.

A last name?  A last name!

Getting flanked and attacked by Gypsies. (I love you guys to death, seriously!)

Gambling with Sir Rennaudie.  I think in the end, Kwildar did in fact follow orders! (Good to finally get to really RP with you again, Roy... It's been a while!)

Conversations with Sir Cinder, and the confusion and conviction that led to. (Good to finally get a chance to RP with you, Brian!)

Witch Hunting 101.  Thanks Paul and Charna.

Practically getting dragged into a conversation with Cecil.

Quin, Kwildar, and the teaching roundabout about to happen.

The removal of masks, walls and coverings.

Getting dragged on to the dance floor.

RP with Kathara, always good stuff!

Kwildar's aside comments to Pyre about the Count's dancing.

Rose Gardens!

Forgiving Galen.

"You don't seem any different to me, Crimson!"

A highlight, and un-highlight rolled into one: Having four people come up to me and say afterward, "Darn it! I wanted to talk to you, but just didn't have the time!"

Really, really looking forward to the December Festival!

Announcing was fun - my apologies to butchering all the names I did, but it was a blast actually learning them.

Heroes & Villians, Travance Style!

The Gambling Shenanigans between MoG and the S.K.

Spiced Cider.  Mmmm.

FOOD!

Sitting down and trying the Absinthe at last, not out of enjoyment, but because I needed to verify it wasn't going to cause a further problem than I thought it already had...  (Lyle barfing in the corner didn't help!)

YATHZEE!

Conversations in the shadows.  Multiple ones.

"You don't happen to have your cards on you, do you?"  *Points to pouch*

Apollo: "A for Effort"

That sums up the night (But a good way).

Overall the ball was wonderful, there was more to do than last year which is always great.

The casino was cool,
The food was great,
Seeing a bunch of my friends, and a new face of whom I found out I graduated High School with lol. Nice to see a very familiar face, I hope to see her at events more often.
Singing in the singing contest
Werewolf game was awesome

Overall the setting was great.

The pre-story was fantastic, I was so hungry I could easily RP my ravanous hunger as I dashed to the front of the buffet line as soon as it was appropriate to do so.  In addition being pretty tired helped with my RP of just coming out of a coma I'm sure.

The food was excellent!  I'm so glad people enjoyed my sweet chili (and yes, there was 2 pounds of bacon used in making that chili)

Lots of interesting things, and being just as busy as always getting work done.

Finally starting two projects I thought I would never get the chance to do.

Hearing about Cecil's Staff and humming the theme to the Jefferson's in my head.

Getting to pull for the main prize, lot of fun.

The next morning's breakfast order.
I'd like the griddled bacon (5) with the deep fried homefries instead of homefries with Rye toast and a side of egg.
