April 2010 Highlights!

It was such an awesome event.  So much going on.

Highlights:

Friday Night-

First shift bartending.   Oh what fun!  I can't wait to do it again!  Tips were awesome thank you all.
Women trying to get free drinks from me.  Never in my life have I heard.  "But, you wouldn't refuse a lady would you?" so many times.
Debating Order vs. Chaos with Julian.  Great RP.

Sat.-

Waking up and going to work the bar at 10am.  Man I really gotta see if I can get Jonas to give me weekends off.
Erims hot peppers.  Deeeeee-licious
Portia being patient with me for sending out half a dozen candygrams, and then being told "You could give Victor Sylus a run for his money"
RP with Wolfgar and getting the complete opposite reaction of what I expected.  
Baronial Meeting.    28 billion hours longer than was expected.  But some very very intense RP.  Good times.
Feast.  Jackie.  Is.  A. Goddess.    Can I hire you to cook for me?
Main Mod.  Kiss vs. GWAR,  screaming MUSHROOM.  Getting Baron William Simmons to do the tongue thing for me.
Sitting around the inn and trading war stories

Sun-

A lazy day.  Relaxing and enjoyable.
Teaching Ming about Ettiquite and Magic.
Learning High Elvish from Portia.  I will remember to not make people think i'm pregnant!

Lowlights-

Not thinking it would be as cold as it was.

Well, being that this was my first event at Shehaqua...

Highlights:
-Not so much a highlight, but amusing...someone told my gypsy she had TOO many jingles. IMPOSSIBLE!
-Elona gave Marika some good tips for walking.  Apparently Marika can't walk properly
-8am bartending shift.  People tip when they feel bad that you're up that early
-NPCing the Agaurian High Priestess was so much fun!  I got to order around barbarians and my two dark clerics.
-Mini jailbreak mod. And attempting to outrun Hammish, but to no avail
-The roses for St. Astrid's Day were nice
-Awesome RP with Kame when i learned to regenerate Limb.  Don't worry, she burned the old arm afterwards
-Having Wubbles the Goblin run up to me yelling "SHINY-GIRL!!!" whenever he saw me

Lowlights:
-Snow in April, seriously?
-Being stabbed continuously by thorns in Kaladonia just to get to my cabin.  Although, they proved to be an amazing defense
-During my NPC shift, I was supposed to sacrifice someone for Agaura.  But SOMEONE kept True Distance healing him!
-Had to leave early Sunday.  But hey, it was either leave early or not go at all

Highlights:

Friday-

• I have to say that I regularly enjoy the dynamic role play that is involved with being a wild mage.  While often being hated or feared isn't enjoyable most of the time... the role play dynamics it produces at times are fantastic.
• Celt and Gypsy role play.  Many new faces in Kaldonia, and pulling them all together was so much fun.
• Explaining to other wild mages and friends that chaos isn't always destructive... sometimes it is just a coin in mid air.
• Finding out my derangement somehow augments my personality instead of crippling my roleplay.

Saturday-

• Pulling slight of hands during bottle/goblin mod, in a group of twenty people, without anyone catching me do it.  Giving the palmed treasure away to Brick less than an hour later because evidently Paetros can't say no to women.
• Main mod low level side.  People worked well together in small clusters and were working quickly to pick each other up.  I know I burned out 4 trinkets, and others were throwing spells, potions, and trinkets to save each other left and right.
• Gaining a powerful blessed axe from main mod... and again turning around and giving it to a different woman.  >Sigh.<
• Hookah talk, Knight Realms the snacking, and the fact that a quickly planned Kaldonia potluck is equivalent to a 10 course meal.
• I loved late night NPC shift.  Running as a Grim Guardian covered in latex scars and horns was a blast.  I actually saw some looks of fear or concern before combat began (even with some high leveled PCs).  Thanks to everyone who complimented the latex/scars/makeup.

Sunday-

• Child Wild Mage.  Crowning RP of the weekend for me.  I found myself standing between a young wild mage girl and her would be executer about to die... until I realized that the entire inn had respond as well and were in line next to/behind me. (Whew)
• Teaching the child wild mage about what it is that she is, keeping her calm by teaching her to read and reading the newspaper with her, and then running out of town to catch up with a leaving caravan.  
• Fencing Sunday afternoon with .

Lowlights-

• Heard more people dropping character this weekend than ever before, mostly well established folks... which surprised me a bit.
• Fireplace in Kaldonia Statehouse not drawing smoke at all... freezing cold to point of health concerns.

Very good, very strange weekend.  My biggest lowlight (aside from being stuck in bramble patch at 4 in the morning for a good ten minutes)  actually turned into a highlight.  I don't know what exactly was going on with the friday night "we're spying/infiltrating, wait no we're not, wait yes we are, no we're just going to attack, no just kidding wait here while we get more people, ok you can go, no just kidding DOMINATE!"  Thing, but man was it fun to play pure, blind Celt RAGE.  

other highlights
Winks:  I think I want to get Brik a present.
Ashling:  You should pick her some flowers because its spring and all the flowers are blooming and they're so pretty you should give her some!
Winks: That is by far the girly-est thing I've ever heard you say.

WTF Camin...Awesome role play, but wtf.  way to complicate my life further. But way fun.

Girl talks with Zafrin and Rose, thank you for helping me keep the love struck crazy-dragoon at bay (see previous statement)  

Getting to use my spirit, though dark-sith running away when it was finally my turn to rock out was kind of weak sauce.  Though it did designate your name as simply a string of words that I cannot type of this forum, mostly because I can never remember your characters name.

Coming to terms with what it mean to be a yellow dragon

Some really good conversations.

fun times in the Kaldonian state house.  

New Ax, and a future new husband to go with it I tried choose  the suitor that would piss the most people off. 

Finding out that there is a good chance that said new husband and I may not explode after all.

GWAR?  KISS?  Really?  Hilarious.

Ashling: whats on your head?
Billium:  I scalped him!
that wig made me die a little inside. 
 

Highlights

As always getting to see people I've been LARPing and friends with for 20 years now is always top of my list.

Meatapalooza

“Drynads”

Kristen getting her first official LARP beat down while cooking breakfast Saturday morning. Thank you Trolls for beating my wife.

All of Saturday afternoon on the benches the hookah, and the yummy especially:

-Marcus discovering he could kill by staring at someone really hard.
-Learning that F.P.S. is indeed a major seasoning for nearly all cooking.
-Trying to convince MaryBeth that MaryBeth should steal something from MaryBeth.
-Watching Radley make a Quilldar's Mom / Cookie joke with Quilldar a foot away while we all went “shh shh shh” and then choking on his feet as he jammed them in his mouth

Lowlights

The NPCs on main mod singing so loud at the monster cabin oog that the PCs had to tell them to be quiet they where breaking the mood.

(I'm going to break with the trend here) All things Gwar at the event (and this from a guy that has been to about two dozen gwar shows.) I don't LARP for the Monty haul / Monty Python moments.

What a great event to make my return to Knight Realms! I missed everyone so much! To clarify I started my new alt character Demitri Veisgart, fire mage. I had a blast RPing a totally different character.

Highlights
-Returning to KR
-having a meat-sheild army to deal with those pesky monsters.
-Re-meeting everyone as Demitri
-not wearing a kilt (no offense, i like wearing it but they have some issues...)
-Learning Flare from Gideon! Very awesome!
-Mage guild meeting
-not taking a single blow as Demitri except for two waylays.
-Mushroom plot lol!
-KISSMYANTHIA!


Lowlights
-sleeping in van waking up in morgue...
-shitty spell packet hit ratio... i have terrible vision without prescription glasses...
-the headache that followed the previous lowlight for not wearing glasses...
-my glasses falling of as and npc...
Maybe I should get contacts??

Anyway, I had a great event and can't wait to play Fitz next event!
