June 2013 Highlights

Thank you Elias, I'm happy to have played a part in this many players' events, and hope to continue to entertain for many moons to come! Viktor's well-being might depend on good roleplaying,so there is no going back now. Here's to the trials, triumphs, debacles, and debauchery that await!

So, being that this is the second event I've come to in the past five years, I want to preface this by saying that I had a horrible time and I'm never coming back.


Just kidding!

I had an amazing time, from the moment I rounded the corner of logistics and was swarmed with nostalgia(and hugs, so many hugs) til the very end of the event, it was truly a homecoming for me. Even with all the faces that I didn't know, and whose names I've already forgotten, I felt so welcomed back and loved. Seriously, you people are some of the best people out there.(Except that Kiellor guy, he's a real jerk(Love you broski))

Also, loved the looks on faces as I tried to explain how long I've been coming(10 years and 4 months!), and why people have never seen me before.

SO HIGHLIGHTS

Friday:
Trying to figure out my character card. I feel bad for the person who has to figure out that mess, because, well, what the fux.
Playing an earth elemental for the brazen mod. Actually winning, even though it was my first anything since coming back to the game. Being told after by the guy I fought that he was impressed how often I got around his shield. That is the highest of compliments, and I will never forget it guywhosenameineverlearnt.

Playing ancient imps and causing havoc, until we watched James devour one of ours. Running away like the little pansies that we are.

Dust Devil, heh heh. Having my humus taken, and reappearing next to those who stole it in a wild attempt to give it back. It was a ton of fun spawning on top of people, and then ripping through their pockets.

Saturday
Coming into game as my barbarian for the first time ever. Thank you to all those who dealt with my endless harassments trying to figure out what I needed/wanted to do to make her awesome.
Actually being able to swing hard enough to hit things is such an awesome feeling. While I'll always have a soft spot for playing a healer, I seriously enjoyed fighting. Why did no one ever tell me how much fun it is to beat on things!
The Valosian Library mod was so awesome. She tried so hard to keep others safe, though she got knocked out a ton in the process.
Mass was awesome, though sadly my brain stopped working about half way into it.
And on that note, thank you sooo much to all those who babysat me and helped to care for me during my(2) migraines on Saturday. My head and I had a lot of differences this weekend, but everyone was so awesome in helping me out, and I appreciate it so much.
Having a bromance with all the celts during the different fights!
Main mod was spectacular!
Helping to get a poor elf drunk. Chug chug chug!
So many highlights that this could go on for years.
Also, getting an IG crush on Wormwood while listening to him rip apart a towns member with such brutal honestly. There was definite swoonage.

Sunday
Learning to parry from Shamus(Seamus, Sheamus, however you choose to spell it) Yay for a skill to help me stay alive slightly longer
Helping with teaching Elric a skill. I'm betting he'll never forget to listen to a pretty lady again.
Diner shenanigans.

There are so many highlights, but my brain weary. So, I just want to thank everyone again for taking care of myself and my poor head. I love you all, and I'll be back in two and a half years.

Sister Danae:

It was awesome meeting you!

I loved meeting you too!

Sister Danae, it was so awesome meeting you! Love, the coffee fairy



Well, so for the recap...this was my very first event and my very first larp. LOVED IT. I had so many hang ups before coming in, mostly for being ill-prepared and also the whole ACK NEW PEOPLE, EEK ACTING thing. But once I got to Travance, it was like stepping into a pair of shoes that were just perfect for you! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and especially helpful.


SIDE NOTE, a HUGE thanks to those who offered their help when a certain asthmatic went missing for like, 5 hours. OOG: I had no idea IG meetings could run so long and I freaked a little. (One of the many lessons learned during that moon, along with 'never go off alone even for 30 seconds to get water, and then give a thirsty demon the aforementioned water because he CAN and WILL subdue you afterwards and hold you captive. LOL)

Definitely enjoyed the singing during feast and being introduced to the Baroness. She is such a wonderfully friendly woman! Wish i could have met her under better circumstances, seeing how a few people were sucked into the abyss *sadface*


Inverted tower was interesting to say the least. The party hats were a nice touch!


NPC shift during main mod; INTIMIDATE!!!!!!!! /fail, Forgetting I had around 50 or 60 body and dying immediately with each swing *derp* and getting lost in the woods a bit.


Made friends with a grave digger (I'm sorry, I forgot your name!) And was introduced to what is called 'the wind tunnel' (bless you, kind woman!)


Could say so much more but im still pooped from running around the proper and my minds a bit fuzzy. Can't wait til next event! Akira is very happy in Travance and she thanks you all for welcoming her!

Now it will be your job to pass this sacred knowledge onto another
