Week in the Life 2013 Highlights

Thursday:

Defiant cover lesson and ALL THE RP.

Friday:

That would be my NPC shift and then bed.

Seeding my mod was fun. All the phantasms.

JimJones Mod: RIP due to time constraints.

Saturday morning

REVENGE OF JimJones Mod: RIP due to deft off shift monster marshal redirect

Finding out that there were sixty bazillion things going on.

Baronial Information Meeting

Mass

Almost being a part of the first mission of the Baronial Navy! Carry on, good sailors, off to get bibs and bobs out of trees.

Getting my first templar lesson. Totally stunning.

Getting asked to be the understudy of the seneschal. Even more stunning.

SON OF JimJones Mod: RIP Due to even more clever maneuvering

The return of Klarington.

Finding out how to fix the anti magic zones and discovering Xualla's possible plan. I might be getting a vague focus of how this is taking shape.

Being asked to travel to Faerie as the representative of the Barony(no pressure)

Nice little main mod.

Chaos Orb mod

Being ordered to bed

Sunday

RETURN OF THE SON OF JimJones Mod: At this point I decided it was about time to borrow 2 NPCs, get things really super seeded, and hint that it will happen in June. 500 PC levels, some explanation, some more juggling, a little bit of awesome NPC-ness, and ta-da. JimJones Mod is good to go.

Three of those minutes must include an argument.

THESE ARE OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE ENERGY TO ORGANIZE MY THOUGHTS NOW

Carlotta tarot cards were quite relevant to Rowan, except they caused a slight amount of worry.

NPCing as an ogre chief bully that got taken out by a waylay!
NPCing as the brute enslaved with trolls and cowering at the drow.
Impromptu NPCing as regular dogs (and not just wolves!). Getting cured and then happily jumping on everybody. Props to Justin for RPing those allergies, Swyft for the cat-dog chase, and a special shout out to the Baroness for being a good sport about it!
And also as an NPC, I was type-cast as – you guessed it – A hobbit! I absolutely loved that mod and everyone involved with it. Great job! I only wish we could see the looks on everyone’s faces lol.

Baking the cake. I want to give a warm, heartfelt thank you to for all of my little helpers who handed me sugar here, or cleaned a pot for me there. Also, I do apologize for the bossyness. I am the kitchen Nazi.

I was so excited OOG for gathering the clan together and staying in a tent all of our own like the old times. Unfortunately for me, this meant spider bites and a medical visit from Norm, but everything worked out in the end. Thank you, everyone for sghsgnsfgnsfgnsfgnsfgnaerdzbdfdgSDB

Finnegan the Halfling! (sorry if I misspelled it) I’m so sorry for forgetting your name I always love interacting with other kinsmen, but I’ve had my all-time favorite hobbit moments with you this event. I’m looking forward to future shenanigans!

Ohhhhhh, Lord Antrim!!! And other renditions of the song.

THE SONG CIRCLE! Thank you, everyone who performed beautifully and thank you for listeners. One of my favorite things to do is perform in front of a great crowd. On my behalf, thank you all for being a wonderful audience. I also learned that quite a few of you have wonderful voices and should DEFINITLY be heard more often!

Pre-game cards against humanity with Allisandria. Ya’ll are sick people and I LOVE IT!! XP

The wedding was beautiful. Aemorniel did a wonderful job presiding over the marriage. Mirwin and Ardin’s answers were so touching :’) Also, I’ll be teasing Tsoli and the Guildmaster with everything I learned from the visiting Silverbows. TIME STOP! *Grope grope* haha!

Being all embarrassed and ashamed because Rowan childishly rolled down the hill to the Bard meeting in the Pavillion because it was faster than hobbling. The Baroness was not amused.

The kitten! He’s adorable. I only wish I could’ve held and played with him.

There is more, but this is all for now, folks!

Teresa what about Braxil Tinderfoot

These are probably scattered but oh well.

Locating and/or gathering 20 of the ancient scroll fragments by getting scholars and adventurers working together in less than 2 days time. Even James seemed surprised we got them together so quickly. There is nothing we can't do if we work together like this. We’ll see about next event if we have enough to make shiz happen.

Bloodspawn Plot progress. Getting an actual IG letter reply via an NPC messenger while down in Pendarvin really was a delight. Nothing like an NPC asking for me by name and declaring “your eyes only” to make you feel like you’re a noble. Larry--your plots really do rock. Just saying. Talking to the three figures in the light church who my PC considers the leaders that people go to and she respects about the man she is looking for/expecting and being able to say that I need him alive and that if he comes, he must be brought to me immediately after explaining that he is not a criminal but in fact a very important man who is probably being chased by undead even as I spoke.

People rushing to find copies of the April issue of the newspaper to deal with phantasms and the utter passion the bards have about the phantasm plot is a delight to see. The amount of effort and detail that has gone into these creatures always astounds me and it’s great to see players actually thinking and working together. Selfishly I can say I am also glad people keep the paper I work on as we hoped it would be used. Amizar and I may have to send out another copy in the future including the two new rhymes for people to use as reference.

Angeliana’s gift. I hope that rose serves you well to remind you of my promise. You using those words back at me when my PC was lost in despair was so unfair but just what I needed to hear. Also--all of our interactions this moon just showed me how solid of a friendship we have IG and OOG. Even if we don’t get to hang out a ton because of shenanigans going about, it’s nice to have someone to have my back.

All the wedding nonsense--getting NPC relatives ready and prepped with Bill, getting the rings blessed by neutral clergy, making sure everyone knew their parts, etc. I consider it a pleasure to hear the compliments of both enjoyment in the ceremony and surprise that it actually occurred on time.

Post Wedding shenanigans from my uncle and aunt. Timestop, harassing poor Misaki into considering a sorcery change to “become a proper husband for me”, the fact he has no choice in taking our name, etc. It was nice though the conversations we had in Pendarvin where they said they were proud of me for taking a place in Chronicler’s grace. Being reminded of the family motto was also very much needed at that moment.

Everyone who had tried to cheer up this poor elf--your words were very much appreciated. Gideon, you were right. I can’t lose faith during this test. Bat--your loyalty is always welcomed. There is no doubt you are my favorite Valosian. Also--Alisandrian goofing around is the best goofing around there is. Thanks Goose for giving me a few great laughs.

Seeing Misaki being busy with all sorts of things dealing with his duties in Travance and also backstory bits continuing. (Luis, you are a terrible man but I am a much more terrible girlfriend for helping you. Hehe)

Boating with Misaki on the lake. It was nice to just get away and work together to make the rowing go nicely since we didn’t get to see each other much. It’s times like that I remember why my PC always ran from responsibility when she first came.

Baroness bonding part bajillionth. I have hesitated before to say the Baroness respects me until this event during our encounters. It’s nice to have such an powerhouse of a woman actually turn to me for advice on a matter and the sigh of frustration she gave since she knew OOG she couldn’t send me. Jen, you should just name me as one of your handmaidens already

Asking advice from the Baroness about the fact two of the Baronial Council Members wish for me to apprentice under them, and her commenting she is surprised Rudolph didn’t ask me if I would consider learning the ways of Seneshal but that it probably was out of deference for the two men who already have shown interest. Then Sunday morning being asked by Rudolph if I would consider taking on the position of Chancellor of the Arts. Guess this is just the game world’s way of saying I am gonna be a part of the council one way or another. That or I should just be the whole council all at once

Antrim’s gifts to Misaki and I for our work in Pendarvin. Holdings in Skara Gothe for the both of us, a new job position for Misaki, a minor artifact for Misaki to better protect me, and a big old book of 20 lores of my choosing. People can say what they will about Brodavrin but Antrim takes care of his people and we take care of each other. A great example would be when some of the Pendarvin men came to my defense when Sorel joked about having me tortured for information. If there is one thing our vassals don’t lack, it’s protective loyalty. The concern IG and OOG if I was alright throughout the event for various reasons just affirms my choice to vassal to the land. Pendarvin really has become a home IG and OOG.

Seeing Klarington again. It really wasn’t my choice but when Elawyn says “we’re going” and the Baroness gives you a nod, you can’t really say no. So much shenanigans on that mod to say the least. Yay for rewriting time.

Gideon’s final lessons. Gardening, singing circle, scroll making, etc. It all was a lot of fun. Though Aemorniel is sad to see her favorite student go, she is glad to know she has two new ones as of this event.

Ianto and all my interactions with him. Diane declared me spotting and helping keep him still to remove two ticks a fine “Animal Empathy” lesson if I wanted. Too bad my build was spoken for to feed into FP.

Doctoring lessons with Dr. Maxwell. While my last two skill lessons are on hold, I have become a dummy for others since Simon and I are often inseparable friends. Our decision to “keep” James, a new physician in town, was quite amusing. We’re such an old married couple as our characters.

Kristen and Steve--you have succeeded in doing something no one else has ever been able to do before. Not only did you make my PC cry more than she has done ever, you made me pick up a weapon. After nearly two years of being a non-violent character, those who know my PC know how big of a feat that is.
