October 2012 Highlights!

What an excellent weekend...

What started out as a less than stellar day for me on Friday before I left for KR quickly improved once I got on the road.

Pre-KR:

• Show up at Karen Yashinski's house. Realize the front yard is FULL of Weeping Angel Cherubs.
• Get to camp, begin setting up. no less than three people come to me and ask about how best to take care of their Sandlars.

Lay On!

• The usual greetings and Role-Play on coming into town.
• Sneaking Mother Chance's gift into her bed... only to find out it was Rayven's bed by accident. Whoops.
• Teaching a new generation of students, as well as my current ones. This never gets old, or boring. Frank / Bran, the philosophy ramblings that came out of the smithing lessons were great.
• The Wedding. "This is a wedding in Travance - someone is going to try and crash it. Jade, you're with me... Honor Guard for the couple."
• Waitaminute... Kleidin is doing the ceremony?
• Traditional Khitanese Ginger Candy. ZOMG Spicy! I liked it!
• FEAST! I'd been teasing Sam M. all week beforehand that I was going to eat the whole thing myself before she could get it onto the table.
• I was worried that people would not have enough to eat... I was VERY happy that people were considerate, shared, and asked around before taking seconds. Leftovers, too!
• Sunday morning - more lessons taught.
• Master Warrior Training - Final Round, FIGHT! Gidon held his own longer than Barak expected against the combined might of Barak and Aleister - a compliment Gideon did not take likely.
• "Gideon, you're putting too much weight on your foot in that stance." OOG internal thought: "Dammit, that's the foot my OOG Senesi tells me I'm not putting enough weight on. Awkward!"

Looking forward to November already!

My event started at Saturday night right after feast by sheer luck of having enough time to make it down to the event.

-Get on camp and into costume and dragged away by Chris Goley for an exciting entrance! "That hobbit just saved my life!"
-Spending my entire night with Belegchand, Elawyn, Mixolydia and several others researching VIM.
-The hours of crushing hopelessness that came after was just simply so much fun. Aleister and Elawyn playing "Who has more emotional scars?"
The look of horror and awkwardness from everyone around us just made it that much more hilarious.
-Sunday being a nice lazy day.

Good 18 hour event. Would full event next time.

Friday Night- Getting there being all frazzled that I missed Clergy Meeting but "it was pushed back" and realizing I could get dressed and ease into charactor.

Zeppto's Necromancer Mod- Was AWESOME before a rock decided it no longer wanted to be under my ankle and causing me to twist it. Thank you EVERYONE who helped me get from the Slab to the mages guilde and then to the monestary. I really can't thank you enough! Although, this probably saved Ekat from taking a focus walk since she didn't pull off what she was aiming to do. Ankle is sore but doing fine. Thank you guys sooo Much.

KITTEN! or as I called him - "Little box of purrrrrrr"

The last 2 hours I was there was chock full of amazing role Play. Thank you Gypsys and thank you Kwildar.

EDIT: THANK YOU SAM FOR COOKING ALL MY GUILTY PLEASURES!

Honestly, my real highlight of the event was being gone for a full year and coming back to see old friends and feel like I've never been away.

Since I can't just leave it like that, my main highlight:

After getting sent flying with a body block by a chaos warrior
Erdrick - "Dagnarus are you okay?"
Dagnarus - "I will be in a minute, Hey future corpse come here!!"
**Incinerate**
Dagnarus - "Now I'm okay."

Yay! Highlights time!

Friday:
-Getting to game somewhat on time, and getting a nice warm bed in the barn (instead of freezing in a tent).
-Wearing Kamei's warm garb after what seems like forever (not sure if good or bad thing...)
-Hanging around Ostcliff, helping out Angel with a few things, and talking with Sanniyah.
-Zipeto's Necromancer Mod!! SO GOOD! (Hope your ankle is feeling better, Ann ): ). But! Being sent on a round about wild goose chase to the final outcome and...being the "Brains" of the operation of the "good guys" as he so nicely put it. Now, Kamei is trying to figure out how to get into the spirit realm to talk to the necromancer....
-Sleep is glorious!

Saturday:
-Early morning NPC shift FTW!
-Getting to play a mephit! So much fun, but everyone is so mean ;P Punting a poor little curious mephit like a soccer ball -nudge-
-Being an awesome entrance for Rayne where he freaked everyone out with a "round house decapitate" on 6 NPC's. Judge, you are one of my favorite people, you know that, right?
-Playing a ghost and getting to hang out with Harlee. Also, seeing the looks on peoples faces when you say "no effect" to regular damage.
-Cleaning up around logistics and doing make up for people

-Sanniyah's wedding!!!! It was so pretty and perfect, and getting to meet Lady Teila was fantastic! (yay momma! Back for the first time in forever!).
-Cake, people, food and RP. Also, Karla looked gorgeous in her outfit!
-Having a princess as our flower girl! She was so cute! And being protected by her brave knights and religious advisor.
-Getting to hang out with Solomon, so nice to see him again!
- Favorite quote: "So, we were talking about a mod that's going down later that involves tentacles. We were all like 'we need to get the khitan involved, especially Kamei.' " I laughed and laughed. And I realized, I love my friends a lot
-Cleaning up after feast with Tobar and singing and fun times!
-Glorious two hour nap and missing main mod, only to be woken up by Tsoli for a mod...
-Let's just say, Kamei is a very patient person..and people should be glad of that.
-Leaving early! And sleeping in a warm, dry bed.

Sadly, this may be my last event for awhile (besides the ball) because of the cold. Though, there is one circumstance that you may all see me again in December, but we'll see. Thanks for a good event right before the possible "I hate cold"-Hiatus.

My event was utterly brilliant! Thank you to everyone who did RP with me, no matter how briefly. I spent the whole event busy.

- Marigold. Constantly being frustrated by the fact that humans just make stuff up.
- Tagging along with the witch hunters on friday night as my level 6 alt. Scary!
- Between the kitten and the flowergirl/princess, I think my cuteness circuits are fried.
- Gideon forcing me out of my comfort zone (at least 3x). Dammit.
- Teaching Arden Silverbow a spell. Not something I ever expected to be doing. See previous highlight.
- I have my very own magic student now! (Besides the Guildmaster )
- YAHTZEE!
- I don't think I've ever done so much gypsy-related role play in a single weekend.
- Thank you Bill. You know what you did.
- All of the Tarot readings I did were wonderful on my end. I have to thank Jenn especially (I'm not even going to TRY to spell your PCs name). You were actually the first person to come to me with a specific question. And oh man, it was a doozy. Probably the most challanging reading I've done, not because the cards were unclear, but because I had to find the right way to break the news!
- Feast was delicious. Thank you Sam for expanding my tastes! I didn't even know grape leaves were edible.
