June 2011 Week in Life

OH my gods what an insane time!

"Week in the Life" highlights:

This was the firs time I was ever a full time NPC and I LOVED NPCing the full role play things with minimal combat. Some fun moments in NPCing:
*Mai Hat and how his hat has no corners
*Romeo and Juliet mod... "We need a new last name." "Why don't you combined your current ones?" "Shake-Spear. That's dumb"
*About an hour after Romeo and Juliet, going out as the angry wife and threatening to kill my dead beat husband and yelling.
*Selling Mai Hat and my "Brother" because they would make lovely husbands... or pets...
*being part of the Barbarians who "Kill Mountain Rats, Concord the maze,  Find Feathers, three shirts among four! HO!"
*Cinders Sword Paladin Mod - Favorite NPC role
*Threatening to beat someone with a wooden spoon in the kitchen. I'm surprised no one asked if I could teach lore or trade baking while I was baking in the kitchen. I wish I could have taught it to someone.
*NPCing a Templar and walking up to my student right as he (and others) killed an NPC goon...
*Bloody Stump burger I had shortly after (still as a Templar) was AMAZING, could have used a tad more salt/pepper but it was awesome how it was!
*The other full time NPCs were awesome! You guys were so much fun to hang out with and role play off of.

Lowlight:

Waking up in the middle of the night to 5 men snoring in harmony- horrifying!

June Regular Event High Lights

*Leaving the monetary with far too much baked goods and went to the inn to make other people carry it down to the Bloody Stump
*getting down there and sorting the food out only to be told to stay for a Gypsy Meeting. and to wait for other Gypsys. Then getting dragged into "Church Business" over a bottle of wine and having to cut that short for Gypsy Business. There were moments I debated which business was better.
*Four Gypsys standing by the couches in the Dragons Claw as a "elf" with the coat that we were told to watch out for walks in and makes a comment on there being a lot of gypsys with an evil smile.
*NPCing wolves was fun
*Clergy stuff.
*Finally connecting who Cinder is without his make up on...

Lowlights-

Having a bruise on my arm from where I got hit by someone with a hard latex weapon to bare skin. Please remember to pull your blows on NPCs that are not wearing ANY armor and if there is a chance you might hit skin.

See snoring low light... Add more people.


I'm sure there was so much more highlights as the event was 6 days, but it was fantastic  

the ONLY highlight for me that I feel worth mentioning.

returning home and getting to see all my friends and family again after so long being away catching up with them and meeting new ones.

you all, the players, staff, officers, marshals, James, everyone... are the reason I returned from so far away and so long away.

First and foremost WE DONT NEED NO F#&@%&*G HAMMER!!

extended portion
-Bloody Stump shenanigans
-skull mod, getting left behind and going on a small adventure with Lethias to try and save Moyra and Douglas, and getting to see Lethias roundhouse kick an undead into the rift

-being able to rp without something attacking or constantly being pulled away for something
-private dinner at the stump and our many toasts

normal event
-MORE STUMP SHENANIGANS

-awesome rp with labelle and dame heartwood
-finally getting to show that emar doesnt need prayers or psalms to question someone
-getting into trouble with oakroot
-becoming "Father Dark-Root, The Banisher" sorry to the npcs that got annoyed with it
-listening to Marcus and Ardentfyre talk about mage stuff to torivisu

-Cow Mod Part 1&2
-Lounging at the hookah tent and taking a cat nap while watching a bunch of people play liar's dice. Ilana, relaxing? What? Though, this is partially because no one knew where she was. Maybe when I'm tired, I should just go there to write and relax.

-PIE DAY  I love hobbits by the way. Can Ilana and them hang out more?

-Some people dying and a certain one setting off this really interesting chain of events.
---
-First, getting REALLY angry. Then, it got better. Information was acquired and now Ilana wants to kill a very, very bad man. All the 180's I was doing this week on decisions were pretty crazy. I love getting last pieces of information needed to complete a 'wtf?'  The best one was: "But, she's 14."

-Learning a bit more about Markovia and a certain vampire (no idea how to spell his name, but if you saw Corsair with a demon and a vampire, you met him). Sad story is sad

-Getting to hang out in Pendarvin after dealing with a rather bothersome imp summoner.

-Did the Bacchanal happen/go well? I had to go NPC by the time I could make it  I hope the chicken fingers were alright, an empty case was returned to me at any rate. None of the cakes I made were eaten because the people they were made for were prevented from eating them. My mom really likes the Gustov cake at least. She loves the rose Tori was able to create.

-Meeting the Warden and the Adept and getting a bit more information. It was a great moment for Ilana.

-Dopplegangers. The questions idea was a lot of fun and it was amusing seeing that real people couldn't remember the answers to some simpler questions (including myself). Learning the story of them and trying to figure them out. Advanced Physician Tools= Best Trinket Ever.

-The Brazen Mass and the cooperation of all the churches/the druids, etc. to reforge Unity. Even though she was entrusted with guarding the shards, Ilana never really expected to actually be allowed to wield Unity. Now that she knows its growing, she plans on teaching it as much as she can. Its kind of like taking care of a kid and she kinda loves the idea a lot.

- All the fun NPC roles before the weekend.

- The people who poked my body after they found it in the woods after I was summarily executed.

Fun to be back, even if just for a bit.

I liked
- apprenticing Portia to Aerin. I laughed, I cried, I insulted Malyc.
- hearing Rudolf tell the saddest story evar
- the hookah tent, with its myriad benefits, including back-loosening and Dean's.
- presiding over Kingdom Table and therefore, the entirety of Travance.
- boating
- having people music me on npc shift (and reciting poetry)
- finding another kombucha nut
- confessing to Valos through flagellation (NPCs: you were great!)
- rp with so many folks I hadn't seen in a long time.
