January 2013 Highlights

I would have done this on Monday but I have been really sick with the flu. Haha well this event I wasn't really involved in to much combat this time around, but boy oh boy the RP was awesome!

Friday Night NPC:

~OMGTHECOLD. So so cold. But SO SO FUN!!! Honestly playing an Orc and screaming "FOOD! FOOD???FOOD!!" at people was so very entertaining!!! LOL I was the first to get killed, but OH DEAR GOD IT WAS HYSTERICAL! I got murdered in the bathroom and stuffed in the toilet only to hear the guy who kill me go back into the bar room:
"SO WHO LEFT AN ORC IN THE TOILET!? ALEISTER WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EATING AGAIN?!" LOL

After NPC:

~Wow really fun RP with my friends, Alicia and Reese finally seeing each other after the whole mortal hunter incident last moon, ohhh boyyy.

~Then getting frozen in ice by Reese after arguing for 10 minutes. That was really funny except we had to deal with the guard!

~Finally after that fiasco I had a nice heart to heart with Reese, wow intresting stuff. Then bed time, but not before getting attacked and dragged out of the bed/fight. I received some hot coco from the Baroness to calm down and to go back to bed. Gotta tell yah it was really funny to run into the bar in my pajamas and mob cap on. Lol

Saturday:

~The market fair was totally awesome! Thanks for everyone that made such awesome food Sold out of cookies again!

~Being made fun of at the bar was really funny as well!
"What is that!?"
"Water "
"YOUR DRINKING WATER AT A BAR!?"
"uh..uhhh yes?!"
"I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR YOU GIRL!"
"UH UH AHH! IM SORRY!" *runs out* Bahaha!

~OMG THE SEX ED TALK HAHA best thing EVER. That was truly amazing and funny RP!! Wow good job explaining to Alicia what a date is guys. Just...great.
"Whats a date guys??"
"Well Alicia a date is-"
"A TYPE OF FRUIT!!"
"Why would you want to spend time with someone with a fruit!?"
Everyone: *Facepalm*

Main Mod was aweomse.
"Wait..ALICIA WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU HAVE IN IRON BOX!!!?!?!?"
"UM! I DON'T KNOW! CAELVAN JUST GAVE IT TO ME!"
"WELL WHAT ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR!? GO GET DOORS!"
"AHH! OKOK!" *frantically runs off with AL*
I did actually find one door though!
But I also spilled the Baroness's tea.. I SWEAR IT WAS ONLY A LITTLE BIT.
Also "WHO HAS ANY MANACLES?!" * raises hand* "OH I DO!" *pulls out the card* "OH OOPS. THERE MONOCLES! haha"

Then OMG DAT BOTTLE MOD. That was my first time ever doing something like that ever haha! So much fun! That was amazing! Keavy as a wolf was so cute!

Unfortunately after the bottle mod I got so very very tired I ended up falling asleep on the couch while talking to Elric (So sorry Ben! ) Then I was woken up by Reese and Lar , saying things that I can't remember now and almost being carried upstairs by said dragoon and barbarian. Though they put me to bed safe and sound

Sunday:

I WAS ASLEEP TILL LAY OFF. haha I was that under the weather

This event was just as good as the last one except I got oh so very sick afterwards. Great RP with all my friends and even some new players! And thanks for everyone for teaching me and Dan our healing lessons too they were fantastic!

Can't will till the February event~

Despite the cold this was a great event. Too many highlights to list. There was good roleplay, politics, discussions of philosophy, and tiring combat.

From this weekend I took away to majorly noteworthy things, both of which coincidentally involve Sam Roberts yelling these at a future time:

"SPOILS OF WAR!!!"

and

"SUNDAY!!!"

That is all.

I still haven't quite recovered from the weekend, but nevertheless I felt I had to write something here. Every production, afterall, needs some kind of credit roll. I so greatly appreciate all the compliments, and I therefore have to pass along my gratitude to those that deserve it.

First, sincere thanks to James and the entire Storyteller team for your patience and assistance over the last 4-5 months, as I took over precious time in each and every meeting looking for input in one form or another, be it on codifying the existence of faeries, the nature of demons, or the structure of the Witchhunter Houses to the actual execution of the plotline itself and its various threads. I promise I will stop monopolizing time (at least until spring...). A particular thanks goes out to Michael Smith, who, when a month ago I realized I could not actually marshal two scenes taking place simultaneously in different parts of the field, helped me with the conceptualization and ultimately the execution of the main mod on Saturday night.

Second, and probably most of all, I need to extend my unending gratitude to the amazing cast of NPCs who volunteered to assist me, and who made each of the characters I had written come to life in ways I could never have planned for. Each patiently learned all the immense details I threw at them on their motivations, insights, and special stats, pulled together spectacular costumes, helped me with props and decor, NPC set up and makeup, and kept me sane. I could not have done it without you and I am so lucky to have had your help.

In no particular order:

The Laurent-Belmonts:

JJ Richards (Leilah Laurent-Belmont), who was my first NPC pulled on board and who put so much time and effort into creating a persona that could help make the cult of Laurent-Belmont seem real. You truly helped in so many ways, thank you.

Jen Fiore (Sareena Rowans), who I will forever refer to as the "heart" of my plotline, the reason to care. Even as her first major NPC role, Jen took the idea I had for a young, naive, but capable assistant and ran with it, truly building her into a living, breathing entity. You did magnificently.

Steve Oros (Third Hunter Draegen Laurent-Belmont) gives up time every event for plot purposes, but didn't hesitate to help me breath life into a character that shows the darkside of obsession, a part of the hunter houses I needed to exemplify in any real telling of their function, structure, and make-up.

The Unseelie Court:

Kelly Osborne (Queen Hyporia) was involved from the beginning. When I began codifying faeries within the KR universe, Aaron Brownbridge's Sylph plot became the foundation for what I would work on, and in that case it could not have been done without a return from what was Kelly's very first major NPC role at KR. Kelly pulled together an amazing costume all on her own, and brought to life a character that I think can only live on in infamy.

Emily Anthony (Lady Hythea) never hesitated as I asked her to expand her role exponentially as the plot for the weekend slowly materialized. Not only did she look completely gorgeous and terrifying in her costume, she was even willing to take on the abuse of a main mod boss - Thank you so much!

Dave Morris (Ambassador Jo'noran) came on board relatively last minute to fill a spot, and I could not have been happier both with how he looked, or how he embodied what I think has become my favorite of the roles I wrote for the weekend (even if few got to see him). Seriously, he let me put spirit-gum and yarn in his beard to look like seaweed. Who could ask for more?

The Big Bads:
Alex Blockus (Redcap General Fraye / Raqoztl) was also asked on months ago, as I knew Sam would be occupied and at I knew my own knee may still not be healed enough to play a main mod boss. Alex went above and beyond, both with his flavor text redcap and with our resident demon, and I truly appreciate all his effort and support throughout the weekend.

Sam Roberts (The Father of the Menagerie, Tanith) has been planning to play this lycanthrope since we concieved of him something like 7-8 years ago when we wrote our first plot. I hope you all had fun chasing him around, because you won't have seen the last of him.

I hope you all enjoyed the twists and turns, and all the fights even in the unending cold. Thank you for not letting the weather stop you from participating and having a great time - you are all the reason I love doing this. I have so many highlights from this event, but I think I've taken up enough space. See you all in a few weeks for what is going to be another awesome event!

This event was a bit of a departure for me, being decidedly less wormwood-centric than my normal experience. That said, I still had a blast. Some highlights:

-Matt M. at the fairie feast. I swear one day i'll play a character that Magnus does not revile.

-The entire bar scene saturday, with special nods to Dave M, Raquel, Keith and Ryan. Shannon, I thought your heart was going to explode. fantastic!

- Jen F, me alegro de que por fin tuvo la oportunidad de hablar un poco de español para su Laurent-Belmont.

-Kelly and Emily as winged nobility. Through both preparation and delivery, each of you mustered brilliant performances. It was a pleasure just being around you.

-Nate, Diane, Danielle, Walter, and David R at the feast saturday. I didnt anticipate that scene being half so satisfying. Each of you contributed in a different way. It was appreciated.

-Main mod was brutal. Special thanks to Goley, Cooper, and Vince for making it intense, and to Danielle for chewing my face off. A shame orias wasnt around to witness such aggression!

-After main mod was brutal. Special thanks to Alice and Jen C for taking care of me. yes, sometimes I steam.

-Ain't no battle like a Blockus battle, because a Blockus battle throws DOWN!

-Had a great event thanks to Kristen and everyone she credited, as well as all the hunters old and new. Welcome back Corteccia.

-The Baroness gives me faith that things are likely to improve in town.

-Inverted tower mod, and the DeathWish Slip n' Slide.

-Sergei and I mutually agreeing that whatever it is, it's not gay if you pay a gypsy to do it.

-The Roberts Hunt, even the part where I lost my battle against ice. Protip: "OW, FUCK ME!" is not "Hold"

-Sunday Morning Shiv-Fest.
