January 2013 Highlights

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! i almost fell out of my chair...

I always enjoy kr, but I loved Alex slaying me in the inn for complimenting the lady faerie's hair, and then on main mod, someone telling me to go talk to her again because she liked my hair.

Emily, where did you get that wig? I need one!

Emily was saying something about 12 bucks on Amazon, IIRC.

Angeliana wrote: ~ Getting introduced to a young healer; Albert. Trying to teach him to be wise and not go on silly adventures before ending up going on one somehow and taking him with. Healing tons of broken limbs and getting creative to conserve points. Made a few new good friends I can totally hide behind while healing, thank you for protecting me!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I WAS SOMEONE'S HIGHLIGHT! You don't know how much this makes me happy! I'm so glad I got to make a positive impact on a person's character!

Moving along, then. At first I didn't feel like I had much of an impact during this event, but as I typed this I realized that I experienced a lot!

Friday Night:

-First move was to sell the essense I had to Rudolf. In return, I had the chance to earn some gold and meet other players in the process (Maxwell, Angeliana, Sindarian)!
-Flesh Golem Mod (I think that was what they were)! Thanks to the good Doctor for keeping my butt safe!
-Sitting in the bar and ordering a drink. Honestly, the new look is just so inviting! Also a good opportunity to drown away the nasty images of the flesh monsters!
-NPC Shift! Got to run around as Mauricio, a rather...special Coast Havener pirate who wielded a barrel and wore a dress. Unfortunately, before he had the chance to do anything he was PROMPTLY MURDERED BY SOME BRUTES! I was looking forward to using him as well... He was going to be mute too. Would've been fun playing charades with everyone.

Saturday:

-Woke up early to meet Lucas and the other healers, though unfortunately only a few a shown up. It was a great step in creating a solid personality for my character! Thanks for the advice, Lucas!
-Having my first ever lesson (alongside Alicia) with Angeliana. Though Albert may not admit it, thank you for the first lesson! Can't wait to put that spell into use next event.
-Getting a request to personally meet the Baroness. Heart was pounding, I was so nervous! She gave an inspiring speech to good ol' Al about his depression over being a newcomer in Travance, and how they grow from experience with everyone little task they contribute... and then plot came to distract her! It was still a wonderful speech though! I feel a bit more confident in my roleplaying now!
-Market Fair! Spent all my gold on food, naturally (whoever made that candied bacon has earned my eternal love)! Also teaching Alicia the importance of gold and then helping her a bit in selling cookies. Best part was watching Lucas buy an entire plate, scream "Free cookies!" and watching players descend on the plate like a group of vultures! Priceless!
-Kleidin's soup. That is all. I JUST LOVE YOUR FOOD SO MUCH!
-Two lessons from Lucas, roleplaying a panic attack (which eventually turned into a real one) and growing from that experience. It wasn't the best roleplay, but it was a great step toward getting out of my nervous shell! Lucas gave Albert a little speech, and with enough courage he passed his lessons. Honestly, I really appreciated that little part so much! I was so nervous because I really wanted to interact with your character, Chris, but then finally got the chance! Hope to learn more from you in the future possibly.
-FEAST. Food was excellent! Also my slightly mistaken for racist moment with the Gypsies, which resulted in my cup being frozen and heated up. THANKS A LOT GUYS I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THAT! Oh well, it gave something for the table to talk about at least, away from the scary... fairies.
-MAIN MOD! I didn't get to stay for long on the account of being frozen, but my experience was that NO ONE ACCEPTED MY HEALING SERVICES! I was overwhelmed with the amounts of healers running around. Made Al and myself feel a bit out of place, to be honest.
-Having a mini nervous breakdown over my jealousy, and being comforted by Christine OOG. I feel like I should tell you more often how much I appreciate you! Felt so much better after that.
-Sitting with others in the attic and just staring at the rat swarm that was ascending the stairs. It was promptly destroyed by everyone before it could even reach the top. (I just adore the image of three guys at the top wailing swords at the rats while it ascended.)

Sunday Morning
-SUNDAY! Well... I didn't do much Sunday actually. SLEEPY TIME!

So, yeah. Overall, at first I was uncertain about this event but overall I fared better than I expected! I've already prepared myself toward possible paths my character can take in the future and can't wait to follow them. I hope to meet more players for the Feb. event!

KR Highlights

Well let's see, I haven't been around since September due to working weekends and I must say that I picked a fantastic event to come back. I did get to see some people at the banquet, but that was mostly old friends this Event gave me a chance to meet new friends and hopefully welcome some people to the game for their first time!

I'd have to say the highlight of my event was the Cold and Freezing weather we had, as I don't believe I would have spent nearly as much time RPing with those in the Dragons Claw had the weather been nicer and I would have missed out on meeting some wonderful people this past weekend.

On a side note, if it's that cold next weekend I'm just larping in the kitchen.

I would like to note a few interesting People, Places and things that happened this weekend, since that is pretty much the exact definition of a Noun, here are my Awesome Nouns for KR.

Awesome Noun #1, the Great Steve (Clearly Myself) Vs Steve battle

Little did I know that every building was fill up with reserved beds and so I casually place my bedding on a top bunk of Dregamire (Quick side note, my autocorrect keeps changing that name to Dreamier), not thinking much of it. Then I found out the room was full, so it bargain, could I find someone willing to part with one of their beds for love money or country in the dead of winter.

While explaining all the begging, the swearing the fighting,g and the stomping of the feet, would be wearisome in the end a kind gentlemen for compensation undisclosed was willing to trade.

Victory.

Big thank you for all the entertainment that was had by a bubbling cauldron of chilly and a scholar and a knight for lending me your boots for my NPC shift.

All the bed flowers that Raquel had and her crew of merry pirates?

The constant threat barrage Steve and I kept up for hours on Friday. I won of course.

Awesome Noun #2

A combination of Harassing Stacy/Tari in to teaching sorcery and agreeing to my impromptu wand crafting class, which I would like to thank those who helped her craft a new wand by peer pressure and pure creativity. Also meeting Alice the Resident Inn Fixture that occasionally heals, wonderful times were had.

Last but not least to my Favorite Cat and Mouse bounty hunter and Kitty. Thank you for chasing each other For an hour for some gold, I hope to provide other bounty hunters in town with more bounties each month, help the PCs sharpen their skills.

Also opening negotiations to acquire more Ralenfolly's, and the chase is on!

Awesome Noun #3

Had a wonderful time playing a RedCap for Main Mod, two reasons come to mind.

#1 watching Brian Hahn fight so hard for ten minutes then just scream whisper that he needed to stop smoking cigarettes to me for like an hour, not that that impeded his destruction of PCs but I was pretty sure I was going to have Bury him afterwards.

#2 The face of Danielle Sanflippo when she windwalked over to me as the red cap when I was holding up a dead mother Remi in front of me to ask her to heal her friend then realized it was me and I made her scream for my hat or she was going to die.

Priceless.

Walking into feast through the back door and the reactions from everyone as they uncomfortably realized who was walking through. I had to be very careful where I was going to minimize the amount of face slapping my wings were trying to do. Ordering Alex and Emily to go sit with the peasants since the nobles snubbed us and Emily's temper tantrum were A+. Feast was delicious. Sitting with the PC's for feast was a ton of fun, especially when I started sneering at the humans and their silly gods and Brogan just stood up and left the conversation. The PC's I sat with (Karen, Terese, Jen C and Sophie) were incredibly entertaining and thank you to Justin T for letting me kick you out of your seat, you were such a good sport.

Thank you so much Kristen for giving me the opportunity to play this NPC again! Kristen put so much detail and thought into this weekend. I had a great time and spent hours on Friday and Saturday night RPing with everyone. Fun plot, would plot again.
