January Event Highlights

Thanks all, new and old, for a great event.  While looking at my card I noticed the last time I attended was Dec 2006!!!  It was great to see old faces and exciting to see new ones.  Thank you all again for the roleplay, the fighting and the comedy.   

I also appreciated the candid support for the military.  Please keep the faith and support our Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen.

-Greg-

Welcome back, Greg!

Highlights:

* Excellent feast - nice and warm, and flavorful!  Thank you, Luis!

* So many Blacksmiths in town - It's good to see them all cooperating and working together.

* Getting to use the new spear physrep.

* New Forge equipment!

* The Inn Bards from Hell, and the look of relief on Matt / Arlingon's face as I turned the volume down.

* Marshaling some Shenanigans. :)

* Walking back to the Inn as Carlos.  "Ravanna?"  "Um, no."  "Carlos."  "How did you know?"

* Lessons from the Festival taking hold and bearing fruit.

* Two flaming arrows through an icy portal.

First off I want to thank everyone for their compassion as I became violently ill early Saturday morning, and was pretty much out of it for the rest of the weekend.  Sorry I wasn't there to help with feast, but it was in everyone's best interest I wasn't there.

I did like the Sunday mod that I got to late - following the tracks of the town - not a difficult job for someone without the skill in the snow.  The surprised look on the NPC undead's face when I called "100 vital magic ice" and being one of the two shooting perfect shots through a portal to kack the ice mage hiding behind it.

I lost my belt buckle - belt broke - on Friday night.

Found it Sunday morning, and had it fixed.


I hope nobody got it from me.

only thing i really have to say....  LARPers gone WiLd ^^

What little of the event I participated in, I enjoyed greatly.  Unfortunately, my health prevented me from playing either of my characters or an NPC after Market Faire.  Some highlights:

-Gypsy Shenanigans!
-Teaching.  I have never had so many students at once!
-Bringing my Celt in, and managing to piss 5 people off in the space of 5 minutes.
-Fist fight with Collin
-Taking pictures.  I got some really good shots of you guys.  Especially Geoff's 300 impression.
-The ghost of implanted suggestions  ;D

"Tari is here???"

*Sleep* Fear, Dark whisper: the inn is on fire!

Getting woken up at around 4:30/5:00am Saturday morning by Lord Fallow and getting a minor insanity from necromancy terror. Nervous leg. Interesting to RP when I already have it OOG.

Waking up for good around 10:00 am, getting ready, hearing a girl scream downstairs and going down to see what was going on only to fight against a few bandits. Escorting a prisoner to jail, walking out to find another person escorting another prisoner, turning my back to follow them only to be quick bound by Cameron's PC. Getting dragged down the road only to be greeted by a fellow towns member who was also captured right then and there and we were both chained and turned into slaves along with a few other people.
----being comically saved by Kenny's psyon and Logan----

Playing "Toss Caimen" only to realize that he liked being tossed alot and wanted me for his bride.....creepy derrick that's all I'm going to say, but it was fun lol

Putting more people in jail only to interrogate one of them and finding out stuff where the punishment was death.

Feast was awesome Luis.  ;D

Caimen....you will pay....

Nightmare bear!!! I found a full head bear mask and was like "Hey Steve, is this good?"

"That is the smallest bear I have ever seen!" *5 darkness, 5 darkness, 5 darkness, 5 darkness* "Ow! That Hurts!!"

Talking gargoyle. "AwwwWWW! It's so CUTE! take a picture!"

Sunday morning: Let's go kill undead!

Lets go tell Shen about how horrible Caimen is....

Overall, thanks John and Steve for a fun event, Matt V, and everyone else who interacted with me as an NPC and as my PC. I had alot of fun even though I was unexpectedly busy this whole weekend.

So much fun stuff that went on this event:

• Within ten minutes of lay on, Alia came up to Galen eating a cookie, and in every effort to be friendly and kind, offered him one, not realizing until after she said it what sort of response Galen would have.  Having a near-instant vomit reflex come up on seeing the cookie was weird, but great.
• Getting sucked into mod after mod, after mod on Friday Night, and still going with Magnus on patrol.  Kindness never goes unpunished in Travance...
• Walking the thin line between bravery and stupidity for yet another time, thanks to Lord Fallow.  One of these days, Galen's going to get killed crossing it.
• Being classic Galen to the insomniac farmers, including getting a small war party to bring them back home along with Alia, much to the chagrin of that shift's monster marshals.  Who expected 4-6 people, and got somewhere near thirteen.
• NPCing the Saturday wake-up crew Slaver Mod, which ended up being spectacularly successful, especially on my part, as I captured Jasmina right outside the Guard Barracks just after another guardsman walked by, leading one of my erstwhile allies in chains.  While walking back with her, I ran into another PC, who was tricked into letting his guard down long enough for me to capture him as well.  Then going back to the Inn, pretending to be a mercenary who just escaped the slavers, watching the bulk of the town's heavy hitters go off after the slavers in the woods, nearly getting caught by Quan Liu, and then kidnapping Rosa when Quan Liu went inside to refill his flask.  Poor Rosa, always the damsel, never Princess Charming
• Telling Mother Quin, "I told you so..." after she unleashed nasty badness on the Inn after I told her not to.  Listen to the Galen, the Galen is good. :)
• Being mentally scarred along with Quildar by the Witch Hunters.  You guys are magnificent bastards.
• Getting freaking whomped after feast.  I was dead to the world after the fact, my muscles ached, my lungs burned, I was a mess, but damn it all if I didn't feel like I gave a halfway decent showing for myself in the process.
• Getting yelled at by Gideon after being tripped by the invisible thing causing mischief around the Inn, wanting to argue and knowing that out of game, he was wrong, but in game, he was totally right, leaving Galen feeling appropriately chastised.  Thanks for caring, Geoff. :)
• LARPers Gone Wild?  I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...
• The late night talk with Lethias.  No big details here, but good stuff, all around.
• Disarm, without the disarm skill on the Sunday Morning mod.  Always fun.

only thing i really have to say....   LARPers gone WiLd ^^

yesss that was fun lol

Okay first off let me just say that out of the few event i have been to, this was by far my favorite.

1. Singing at the feast! (my first solo)

2. winning my first honor combat. (though I'm not sure how honorable throwing a fire bomb is. nor do i know how i ended up in honor combat.)

3.Lord Fallows Christmas special ( never have i laughed so hard at the antics of a villain)

4. Feast! (best feast ever! the only thing i regret is not having thirds)

5. Finding the coolest loot during the low level mod (still don't know what the flowers were for though)

6. Npcing a goblin. (always a treat for me)

7. pissing off a dwarf as said goblin (p.s sorry for the spit, hope it didn't hit u, i was aiming for the ground, and the masks got in the way.)

8. cutting off a couple of goblins trying to run away, and killing two of them. (with the help of Perry the hobbit, and Thrasher the barbarian)

9. Thank god for main mod being at the inn!

10. being a ghost guardian on sunday mod, and rolling around in the snow as one of my fighting styles (Note to self, less people get hurt if u aim for their shins.)

11. getting a chance to butcher a quote from "The Prestige" in order to give an abundance of stage names to Lord Fallow and his men.

I'm sure there is more, but my brain can't think straight from lack of sleep ( I blame the nightmares) thanks to everyone who made this event such a terrific experience for both me and Gentleman Jas. oh yes!

12. getting a chance to meet most (if not all) of the new players! you guys seem like a great bunch, hope to see u all at another event real soon.

This event was pretty fun for me and very eventful! I got to play both my characters as early birthday presents (thanks Zach and Matt D.)

Friday Night -
- Coming into game as my gypsy and decided not to wear my purple contacts due to the fact that it was really cold, i was already dehydrated upon arriving at KR and i had the migraine from hell and then a few minutes later deciding to put them in because i'm a nazi when it comes to my characters appearance... so i spent the next 20 minutes with eyes tearing simply to look to part... talk about dedicated! lol

-getting to be a helping hand in teaching Ilana intercept along with the other "family" members and getting to see Kwildar nailed in the face with a cream pie (absolutely wonderful!)

- Having Tobar teach me how to Disarm/Retain was highly entertaining because my sword has a good basket hilt and i had thick gloves on... actually trying to drop my sword for the RP was entertaining ME = *laughing* wait! hold on! it won't come off (as i pry the sword and throw it to the ground LOL)

-having Carlos say that i need to learn how to teach for the good of the family, and although not thinking i would be a great teacher, picking up the skill anyway cuz i had nothing better to put my build into and it was for the good of the family.

-deciding half way through the period that it was too damn cold to be a gypsy and that my contacts were killing me and asking James to play my other character... Barbarian = warmth  ;D

-Enter Barbarian Babe of Awesomeness! LOL! walking into game as Pracika and having Rayven put a sandwich in my face... if there was a slay sandwich i would totally eat it! I'm usually not a big fan of lunch meat but i downed two right then and there lol! It was very easy to Rp a barbarian without table manners.

-Going to sleep as my gypsy at 3 am (i promised Zach  would sleep as her) and then hearing Fallow have the loudest tea party ever outside my door praying that he wouldn't come in there. Also, yelling at Rayven because he has the most horrible reputation of "oh i hear noise i need to go beat something"... dumb barbarian 

-switching back to sleep as Pracika because Zach was too sick and making my way to my bed and hearing my husband outside fighting against the town members and praying to Gaia that he wouldn't come in and Cuddle/Incapacitate me lol. Then being so relieved when he came back in and fell right to sleep.

Saturday!
-waking up to go do NPC shift and having the best shift ever! I am always gonna NPC marketfaire because they told us to go out and buy a picnic! i agree completely lol. I also loved going out as a Slaver... i have to say i thought a lot more people would catch on to the fact that i was randomly leading people out of the Inn against their will lol. "hey Cameron! i caught 4 of them!" but he did win for quality over quantity for capturing Mother Rosa. Also walking right up behind a towns member fighting off another of the Slavers and walking up behind him and quick binding him and handing him off to the other Slaver.
Brother McBride: What's going on here?
Me: Oh nothing, he just had too much to drink and was causing a ruckus, so i quieted him down.
Brother McBride: Who Are you?
Me: *yawn* pardon me... long night at the bar. Name's Samantha *shakes hand* pleasure to meet you. I'll be on my way now.
The watching Steve Oros laugh so hard OOG at the whole exchange.

-coming back as my Barbarian only to find that my husband has been missing for the last 3 hours and no one could find him. Telling myself that i needed to hunt him down because he was either dead or hanging around with that whorish gypsy woman everyone keeps telling me about. lol

-finally finding Rayven and having Shamus show up around the same time then going to enjoy one of the best feasts EVER! those mash potatoes were awesome! I only wish i could have eaten more! Also, the conversations between all the Celts, Shamus and Rayven were HILARIOUS! lol

-Asking Shamus to teach me how to concentrate positive energy and having him lead me to Lethias and talking about Witch Hunter things... i kinda felt included in my own little cool club! Shamus: "Go away Rayven, this is witch hunter stuff" lol Master Baiters, Popping Cherries and Positive Puppies... enough said... i love witch hunter conversations lol

-going upstairs after feast with Rayven and having a hole open up and pin his foot to the floor them being hit with a dark whisper to make me believe my husband was cheating on me... i'll get that dirty gypsy tramp yet...
ME: so Rayven, were you off gallivanting and rolling around with that trampish gypsy of yours?
Rayven: Which One? there are a lot of trampish gypsies in town...
ME: *screaming* YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE THAN ONE?!?!
the whole 5 minute scene was hilarious to watch. But John, you are a cruel individual for doing that lol!

-having to heal Rayven like 3 times because things kept attacking us and he didn't have any of his armor on at all... *sigh* i felt useful though for at least being able to raise some people and get them to better healers. I did my best. Then going downstairs to find that we needed to put creepy armor on someone in order to stop the nightmares from coming after us... the logic still doesn't make sense to me and i have no idea why any of it happened, all i know was that i beat the living crap out of anything that came near those healers lol.

-in the chaos of combat, accidentally swinging around and hitting Tyran Radley for 5 damage because i saw his sword glowing and thought me was a monster lol. I felt like such a moron lol but we had a good laugh about it later.

-going to sleep at midnight and getting a full night sleeps until 10am... that was so nice! then being woken up by a wolf and watching Shamus use animal empathy and then tell it to attack the other things with it lol... saved me the effort f drawing my swords.

-learning how to channel positive energy from Kwildar because Shamus was busy learning other things. Having him explain the channeling as holding very cold snow for a while and saying it would be painful (knowing OOG that i have a disorder in which extreme temperatures cause pain in my extremities it was easy to RP). When letting the energy go Mal told me i would feel a pain in my chest and conveniently i had a chest pain because of a stifled cough... i'm glad my aches and pains play into my RP!

-having a long talk with Father Edwin about how i shouldn't bother picking up Deflect because it's a waste of time when he could simply get me a sword with a Deflect stored in it. Being very cautious and asking whether there was a way to get such a thing through divine or druidic means (being a barbarian) and he simply replied "you tell me what you want and i will get someone to make you a weapon that wont offend you."Saying that i will considering it, and then thinking that Father Edwin is a shifty person, yet not wanting to offend Rayven's honor for keeping such a  friend, so i kept my thoughts to myself.

- hearing about the undead outside and having such a bad headache that i was like "screw it... everyone and their uncle is going out on this... i'm taking a nap" lol so i changed out of costume and slept til clean up hold was called.

Overall i had a blast! the RP was awesome and there were a lot of new faces which was good to see. I hope the events just keep getting better

Just wanted to do a shout out to Volk and Steve for all the work they put in to this event, without either of them we wouldn't have been able to do it, Volk nailed the NPC role beautifully, and Steve spent hours upon hours writing different things up for this event.  Also, the NPC's were awesome thanks guys.

I had a bunch of highlights, but I'll probably list them at some point in the future.  My only low light was getting sick Sunday.

Also, thank you Tom, Adam and Karen for the donations of ludicrous amounts of glow sticks.  I had a great event, so perhaps we'll run something again in the future.

I just wanted to say Steve, Volk and John you guys did an amazing job this weekend. There was never a dull moment and thank you for all the effort you put into making this a fantastic event.

As for my highlights meting 3 new gypsies and seeing the other "family" <3 also getting a new student out of it. I hope I can be a good teacher for you love you'll be the first! 

Seeing John in all his npc makeup I didn't have to work hard to be scared it looked so creepy it was freaking me out.

Luis you are a god in the kitchen.

Tobias it's too bad we never got to have that drink together maybe next time you're in town we can share the bottle by the candle light 

Being a 5-year old Malacite, learning about food, biting Sayter Cale (he didn't taste like ham  :'( ) ,watching the town's reaction when we told them who our god was and still being adopted. It was some amazing moments of RP all around and so much fun though I was hoping to get burned at the cross  :)

Main mod protecting people around the table because they got separated from the corner of protection. I love being able to fight- thanks Sonja for the use of the sword

Friday night hearing someone come in thinking to myself "it's ok it's just John and then realizing no that's not alright he's bad this weekend" and missing my chance to scream for help.... Evil followed by Fallow followed by some two faced nightmare... it was fun

i <3 diablo 2

i <3 diablo 2

That reminds me... Jason Arons: "Stay awhile, and listen!" 

I had fun. The event was a blast and I feel bad that I missed out alot of it due to not wanting to get sicker (Came in with a managable sniffles)

I heartily enjoyed this Event, mainly due to the opportunity to interact with characters I do not ordinarily.

Teaching Research to someone, and then the look of consternation on his face as I continued "Naturally, one cannot believe everything that is written, so one must become proficient at ferreting out forgery." as I handed him a note written in what he KNEW was his hand.

Teaching Paul Jr., how to Wield Faith.  It was a bit physical, but when an understanding exists between players as to what is going down, it makes for excellent RP.  I enjoyed that bit as much as anything.  Thanks, Paul.

A very brief conversation with Roy's Simthalus.  I actually got to speak a few words.  Roy has a naturally kind face, but he manages to suppress his ebullient nature nicely.  Nice fencing with words, although my sword was a lot shorter. :)

Meeting four new Gypsies played in part by Rachel and Dennis.  When informed they were going to sleep on the couches because it seemed safe, insisting that two come into my room.  "Ask Magnus how safe couches are."

Magnus "Bodyguard" lying dropped on said couch Saturday night.  Chip off the old Zero

The tribulations of telling Ella Rae she could have a guest in our room and then finding out said guest was Drow and I already had two High Elves in the room.  Quick, Galen, hang curtains sectioning off the room.

Philosophical conversation largely between Obes', myself, and the Baron on the nature of balance between the gods.

Being told by the Baron that I am very methodical. 

Nice scene with Stacey, and later Jason T. and the Baron.  Stay tuned for news at 11.  When people of good will disagree on the facts (think of the four blind men describing an elephant), sparks can fly - esp in Travance.

Overhearing some established Gypsies tell some new ones after I had given them Blessed Armor "That is one priest you do not ever want to cheat."

Conversations with Rayven, later with Pracka.  "I do not think this book is for you." and she agrees.

Realizing it is not Tobar who is the flirt, but an aspect of Zach that Tobar runs with.  DUH

Jas' singing.

Feast was good, but I got shorted on the veggies and got a low voiced "Take a plate" from Luis when I went back to pick some out of the bowl.

Asking Luis to give me some SPs for tending bar and helping for around 1/2 hour for feast set up and a few other things, like running around and buying the stuff.  Him saying "What do you need more Srvice Points for?" and my saying I'm saving for a redhead. 

Getting to fight John as a nightmare.  I really enjoy when Wally, Derrick and Jon G NPC as they are challenging opponents.  John is now added to my list of favs. 

Kudos to Steve, John and Matt V for putting super effort.

Andy - kudos for busting your hump trying to answer my research on the Chessboard.  You new why, and let me run with it as it is what Edwin would do.  I loved your demeanor. 

The look on John's face when I presented him a list of questions for research. 

NPCing an undead dwarf who was braced up by three PCs, who arrived without healing backup.  The resounding silence when Tori's Angelica arrived and was attacked by the Banzai bunny (Wally), and she slipped and hurt her wrist.  We were all looking forward to Bunny Wars II - Revenge of the Bondi

As soon as the hold was lifted, Alextook one to the head from Welsher.  In Matt's defense, Alex kinda ducked the wrong way and who would wxpect anything to get through all that hair?  Still, it couyld have been Revenge of the Bondi part 2.

Looked around to see if Jason was approaching with the reinforcements to see if a clean sweep of the Turkman Children would occur.

So exited to play a nightmare that I forgot to call damage after my number. sorry all

Learning from Lethias - Vince is a good teacher.

Realizing it is not Tobar who is the flirt, but an aspect of Zach that Tobar runs with.  DUH

And the last horse finally crosses the line.

-LARPERS GONE WILD parts 1-3. In stores...never...but oh so fun

Lets see....

-taking a page out of Kyos book and going invisible and walking past the npcs to our final destination. Finding out the main person had true sight sucked but Alia cant do anything better then she can distract bad guys from killing her. Several people can attest to this lol.

-Seeing Tari back and being flooded with conflicting emotions was fun. Talking to Ravyn about it and other things was also fun
-Helping people was awesome
-Having literally EVERY different way of regain MP cast, drunk, etc that first hour done, and then blowing it all on a sever mind control for Zahir....luckily while he was unconcious, and a blink for Kwildar. Well used, Id guess lol
-Everytime I ran into Simthalis I had something new to tell him. Funny as heck.
-Sparring and disarming (WITHOUT the skill lol) Magnus. Oh yea....

-LARPERS GONE WILD Part 1!

-finally getting to sleep
-getting woken up by a staff in the head. Wanting to kill the person who did it, esp as they went on to say we had to get up for a guild meeting
-getting to guild meeting and not dying
-being told something hilarious at said meeting and turning around to see Antrim behind me smiling and nodding his head. What a weird way to be put at ease but it worked.
-being told to stay near someone I was very sure wanted me dead....and becoming determined to make it happen....AFTER sleep
-Wanting to murder cell phones.
-Getting woken up and dragging myself out of bed to go do my task. Just to sit around and watch different people get into arguements and wish I was still asleep. Having my task be completed about 15 min after it formally started.

-NPCing! And getting very murdered, very quickly, very often

-Solomon + Brick + Dagger + all of us = good times
-Teaching people. Having a comment by Gideon show me the difference between the way I think of using magic and high elves

-LARPERS GONE WILD part 2!

-Having a serious talk with Lethias with a good comment put in by Gideon. Im pretty hopeful that that means that Alia'll stabilize out. Something Ive been waiting for for literally a year.

So, all in all, good times! Take care to all!

Friday: 
1.)fighting nightmares and what not till who knows what o' clock in the morning
then going out for "larpers gone wild part one" - still feel bad for that poor deli man 

Saturday:
1.)going on 7 mods right in a row, being so tired from not sleeping Friday night that at one point I didn't know what I was fighting and asking around, getting the answer "demons" and thinking ...wtf?! why am I fighting demons
2.)the cool sounds the lake made when rocks hit it, though still wish i had gotten my booze lake : (
3.)napping for an hour, being woken up and asking john in mumbles "is the bed going to eat me" and him answering "no, REVERSE GRAVITY" i hit the ceiling and then the bed again and got knocked out, went to sleep hearing the screams of everyone else in the room : ) - Kyo fixing all of us in ten seconds flat

Sunday:
1.)waking up after 9 hours of undisturbed sleep = so nice
2.)wandering into a cave and fighting undead, swinging divine damage and shooting healing blasts for 40 body, getting rewarded for blowing them up with tons of magic item drops

-Had so much fun taking advantage of the body and armor points that my combat class gives me, and got to finally hold my own in many fights. Overall a great and BUSY event, and even though i felt like death Sonya (Brik) kept me pointed at the bad guys and Marybeth (Kyo) watched over me while i napped and then single handedly saved our room, so big thanks to those two.
         

• The Friday night rogue / Fallow mod. I can't possibly enumerate all the parts that I appreciated, but I have to thank Sonya for agreeing to the extra NPCing and then soldiering on long after she realized that I had totally lied about how long it would take. And not only that, but she was awesome as Raguul (that's how I spelled it in my head, when I made the name up Friday night).
• Greg S. at a KR event.
• Switching from a pleasant tea conversation to interrogating Ming about his other 'business' intentions. Dropping a blisteringly racist remark about Khitanese a short while later that caused Rosa to again realize that she's keeping company with a very bad man.
• Throwing rocks on the lake.
• E-A-G-L-E-S!
• *vomit* (not a highlight, per se, but noteworthy)

Last but definitely not least, Andy's event recap form. Seriously, thank you.

- As always, unlikely conversations with Arlington amuse Kate as much as they surprise Rosa. It's always worrying when such a man asks you for a favor.
- Friday night finding out the new Gaian I am talking to is the dead man I've been trying to live up to the last 3 years AND and agent of my god.
- Definitely a big fan of tea time at Market Fair.
- Realizing that after all these years I am still susceptible to being snatched and dragged off.

-Getting to see different sides of pc's I never knew existed
-The Bomb that Zahir dropped on Tari, and watching his subsequent attempts to not laugh when he saw me trying to deal with it
-Getting to hang out with some of my friends, though there are definately ones that I didn't get to make time for
-Getting to hang out with JimBob again, always a riot
-The set-up with Father Haroldson, that I can only guess what kind of drama that will lead to. 

Oh yeah... I never did get to spread that rumor of Tari and Pesmerga, and the little "party" they had...    Just kidding Staci

Greetings friends, I had a awesome time at my first K.R. event some moments I would like to share:  Being taken by slavers where I waiting for a few minuets only to be the only slave to make it back to camp evil, after a few more moments the next slave to arrive was one of the only other Khitan in the game we looked at each other and both L.O.L. looks like there trying to get a complete set and take out our hole race!. We informed camp evil that if they where going to sell us at least have the balls to sell us for more then the common slave after all we have skills like tea brewing. 

Wow... now that I'm over the plague, I'll post.  Most of what I have is not necessarily a highlight, but definitely noteworthy to character development.

Friday
-Adventurers Guild mod
-Seeing Larcen, only to find out he was gone before I could get to speak to him
-Being left to die in my room after being ambushed by a certain PC

Saturday
-Being intimidated by Fallow, and seeing the town joking around about him calling him rather interesting names.
-RP with Jonas
-Being named Vassal of Pendarvin, as well as Liason to the Barbarian Tribes of Pendarvin
-Mummy mod - Steve O: "Are you kidding me!" *laughter ensues from PCs*
-Being left to die in my room after John as a nightmare
-RP with Pracika when John hit her with Dark Whispers
-Guard duty
-Main mod, and the shock of being swarmed in the inn
-RP with Alia
-Being left to die again as Johns nightmare attacked me, again
-Brief RP with Seamus and the witch hunters
-Feeling useless again
-Sandwiches

Sunday
-Sleeping
-Plague
-Getting a book - "Barbarians can read?"

Talking gargoyle. "AwwwWWW! It's so CUTE! take a picture!"

You really were the most adorable gargoyle I've ever seen 

A few highlights on my part:

-Lots of really good hugs from really good people.
-Bringing back an old NPC and finding I still get just as nervous playing her now as I did 4 years ago.  Also, having fun w/ scarring liquid.
-Charna as Lady Snow - the costume looked awesome, and the demeanor was so perfect to the character - few people can get my hackles raised like that - if you were there, I'm sure you know just what I'm talking about.
-Vince's RP as Lethias - nothing specific, just all around.  My events are always more interesting when I can interact with him.
-Tarot card reading with Carlos - so creepily accurate for Elawyn.
-Fallow, and somehow jokingly calling his appearance beforehand without even thinking about the fact that Greg was around.
-Happy, punchy Rosa!  :)
-Having already felt like my character's major life goals created back in the first year of play had been achieved, and having that feeling one-up'ed with current events.  The question is, where does she go from here..

Why do I spend most of my time in the kitchen...
-Missed some great plot while I slept through Friday night and Sat Waking only at "Arise" being screamed in the inn
-Great druid plot which taught me the value of keeping my mouth shut and knowing my place, and viewing my first Fae, who was beautiful by the way, great makeup and costume, wow
-Found out how the bacon bread I picked up made strange but good french toast, sorry to my vegan friends
-Ordered my first ever piece of leather armor from Tobias
-Again got taught some druidics from the foremost druid, hope she comes back sometime
-Good Dinner, good company in the kitchen with some new players washing
-Lots of Celts
-Nightmares were interesting creatures and fun to play, but had breathing problems in the cold outside the inn during Main Mod precursor to the sickness of Sunday morning?
-Clever sunday mod, but when I saw that my simple staff did nothin, I was completely dejected and even the ghost I was hitting remarked afterward how he felt when he saw my face, "No effect"
-Trying to clean up as fast as possible to get home and throw up...
