May Event Highlights

Billiam v. Aleister
Real men don't tap out.
Real men throw trash cans.

First and foremost thank you James for allowing Melody to be a part of KR. Thanks to everyone who made her feel so happy and welcomed and loved that she would not lay down and rest unless Mom laid down with her. She was just like the three year old staying up as long as possible not to miss anything! She is out cold on the floor by her food dish between the kitchen and the living room where I am writing this.

That said the meet and greet on Friday night rocked!

My highlights include every comment on her behavior and training both IC and OOC. It's great to hear comments like best dog ever. I think so but hearing it from others. Precious.

Finding the ground hog and driving it from the inn. Damn rats! Still hanging around.
Patrols including Alisandria goblins and scorpions. Mel's scenting to find the physreps!
Hearing about barks bringing help to Duncan for Ogers.
Therapy work for those on IC and OOC need. Glad to help!
The wedding and paralyze! Dogs do not know what that means so while my five seconds her out of phase we had the right numbers for movement. Lol

Liver and guts. "No Mel you can not gave them."

Kitchen duty love my ladies! Love to help. Love to eat well! Rocking Feast that Melody got to share. Chicken!

Learning Master Warrior part two from Grim. I learned a few things RL too. You rock!

Dragoon Caern visit and possible plans.

It was grand to tell Melody stories in game terms. Translation into game was sometimes tough! Lol

I suspect Melody will be out for the next 24 hrs.

Hugs

Leslie aka Cmd. Birgitta Drexel. Melody aka Melody.

It's been a long time since I did one of these. I almost didn't make it, as I had to run around NYC most of the morning on Saturday. The 2 hour train ride didn't help matters either.

Highlights...
Seeing all of my friends & their reactions at me showing up out of the blue. Worth the entire trip right there. Everything else is bonus.

Walking around the camp & seeing all the impressive work done to it. Kudos to DR people for all their hard work & kudos to all the people who did bake sales, fundraisers, & just plain old broke their backs with blood, sweat, & tears of hard work & manual labor to get the stuff done.

Hearing that 2 NPC's didn't want to attack me as I walked around the camp by myself. Not sure if an insult or compliment.

Learning Critical Attack from Duncan MacKenzie & the funny conversations during & afterwards.
Duncan: The things that cause you pain.
Me: Women?
Duncan & Oren: ROFLMAO

Going to the "wedding" & trying to not let all the GoT wedding meme's infect me during the event. Though, as I watched the entire Caliope death scene, "Rains of Castamere" was playing in my head the entire time.

Seeing Sir Lathiel give an OK to a new townsmember to use Color Spray on someone else "just for kicks".

Escorting the "cookie tree" to the bank & evaluating her gems for her before depositing. Of course, the trip couldn't be done properly without her yelling/announcing it in a loud voice to everyone.

Actually sitting down to a feast & eating some of it.

I wanna thank the following people...
Judge... for letting me know that feces & dung become holy & divine when I'm around.
John Tinney... for laughing at my response.
Leslie McCormack... for bringing Melody. Melody has gotten my votes as Most Valuable Player & Most Valuable Character for this month's event.

I hope to see you all next event.

The part where Ilana had to peel back my forehead and rip skin off my face! Literally my favorite part of the entire event was this moment.

The part where Croi was dominated and murderfaced, right under the noses of a Squire, a Knight Protector, and a Guardsmember (or two).


When Aleister threw dirt in Billliumm's face.
Between the window toss and the garbage can, pretty sure that was the "OH SNAP" moment in the fight -- right before the curb stomp topped it. However, nothing really says brawling quite like cracking hard foam-wood boards over peoples heads for entertainment. A+ pit fight, would watch again. and again.

Watching other people hold wrestling matches the next morning in front of the inn.

Juggling and hacky sack.

"Pink hair!"

MISSING BARD PLOT *sobs for days*

UNDEAD STROKING ANKLES JSUESKUSEKLRHSJKR

p.s. thank you whoever dropped the plates during the moment of silence at feast. That was literally perfect and the best thing ever. Because bards.

See you for at least half of the WitL!

Cook outs at clove's hut!
Steak and bananas shared with company
Ib came up while it was still drizzling because he's awesome
Rowan yelling stories as the entire circle around the fire passes her dagger to one another behind their backs
Remember people, for those not on my facebook, anyone is welcomed here these nights! ANYONE
Stayed up till sunrise telling tree jokes and general bs
Gideon heart attack take 2
Gideon: If I use these 60 gold worth of gems will be wasted.
Clove: Go ahead, they are just pretty rocks I wont use for anything else.
Gideon -double takes and then remembers last conversation and just sockets the runes-

Sleepytimes in the middle of the day not being disturbed by attacking npcs!

Asked for help collecting glammer
Collected the crap out of the glammer then off to punch some dark elves!

More precious sleep undisturbed by gank shift or wake up shift.
All the beautiful sunday tomfoolery
Pride of Caldor telling me about his encounter with the stupid wolves
All the random small bits of rp with people

May sixteenth, 1214,
I've come back into Travance for a few quick days of rest while also having another opportunity to work and attend the Baronial feast. I reunited with Penoia and Nadiya to which we then set up a place to sleep not too far from the Bloody Stump in Ostcliff.
Friday night up until midnight, I tended to the bar, thoroughly enjoying listening to Alender talking with others and enjoying his night. Blacktree and I had a nice talk while I served her and met her little chick she found on the road.
I met some new Travancians whom did nothing for me. I served them, but that was it.
I left shift at midnight where there were Travancians running towards Kaledonia to fight...Something. I was asked to assist, however had other matters to attend to. I promised to make it up.

May seventeenth, 1214,
All I could remember was Nadiya screaming, and seconds later, I came into consciousness in the monastery. I was told I had been slain, and my soul brought through something called the 'Focus'. Those who attack Travance most likely knew that the only way to kill Sébastien is if they catch him sleeping. I was told of Penoia and Nadiya's fate, and I needed to find them. It turns out, they had been slain too, and their souls taken through this 'focus' as well. They were with child, Nadiya was carrying twins...I wish there was something I could have done. I would give anything to bring their children back...Anything.
I remained quiet throughout the day, even into the glade during the Drow attack. I didn't count how many Drow I murdered that night, but I couldn't multiply that number by 1000 to make up for whatever it is that thought they could truly kill me.

May eighteenth, 1214,
I got to see Colve's hut in the flesh...Bark. I can see how he is able to live like that. I did it for years.
The rest of this day was more so dedicated to appreciating that I took a few days to rest in a town full of life and possibility. The people of Travance are growing on me. Maybe too much. But I thank them for allowing someone like me into their Provence. And as always, I wouldn't mind visiting them again.

Thank you, Travance.
