June Event Highlights

This was the most romantic and most adorable event for Zellara ever. For that, I send a completely sincere thank you to Biron.

The kitchen went through hell, moment of silence for her struggles...

Lifeguarding, chilling with Geo, Eddie, etc. (forgot names)

That giant death killing murder terror nightmare squad that came down the path to the lake...
"JUMP IN THE WATER!"

Mermaids giving Zellara a seashell top . That whole mod was wonderful, Jenny and Katie looked gorgeous!!!!! Never underestimate Travance's citizens when it comes to riddles. And Steve, your playing was beautiful. Welllllll done!

Main Mod was stunning, visually and content-wise, and really overwhelming. Haya's voice is magical.

Chilling in the tree, nbd

In the middle of telling me he wasn't going anywhere to keep me safe, he literally dissapeared.

Got a little worried when I heard people were talking about me at the Kaladonia campfire, but after being told what was said, id like to thank all of you for your kind and generous words

Meeting June was fun, thanks for that Dustin! Your blunderbuss is awesome

Gypsy thangs. Ivan

I'm scary, right Chuck?

Sunday morning singing

I am so happy for Zellara. She done good

New costume pieces coming in the mail soon, yay!!

Dude, you walked up to a slaver I NPC's and did this awesome spin thingie and called Trip! Nice combat role-play!

Oh yeah, derp. Card Marshalls go ahead an knock a trip off Sunday morning. I know I had one of three to burn.... Dammit.

Call it two days of underslept Teresa; as always you're a doll! ([likewise] Southpaw too?)

First – Goose, I had buckets and barrels of fun with this Hollow Song plot. Thank you. And to all of the weekend plot NPC’s, (I know I’d leave someone out if I tried to list you all) thank you too! Every time I managed to get around to interacting with you all, my socks were knocked off. Superb job everyone, take another bow, you deserve it.

Secondly – Oh my goodness, kitchen crew. We now have a new benchmark for above and beyond. Thank you so very much for not giving up, for persevering, and for giving us such a marvelous, memorable, and delicious meal. There’s going to come a day when I’m in a group recalling the feast when the Baroness left us, and it’ll go something like this: ‘Oh yes. That was when Mixolydia ascended. And the kitchen caught fire. And they served the most incredible salads….’ Thank you for all that you do, it is appreciated and does not go unnoticed, I promise.

This event was largely a barrel of laughs for me, because sleep deprivation. I had a ball with all of the little, seemingly inconsequential PC interactions as both of my PC’s, and a sincere blast with NPC.

Despite the lack of specific highlights here, my 14th anniversary event couldn’t have been better. All of the hiccups, fires, and first responders only served to reinforce why I’ve been doing this for so long and will keep doing it for a long time to come. Thanks for being awesome you guys, see you in July, and don’t ever change!

This was an amazing event for Swyft. Being accepted into the gypsies on Friday night was such an impromptu and delightful surprise! I'm so glad I remembered to bring the in-game letter that revealed her father as a Romani! I was astounded by how supportive they were, and really quite touched. Thank-you so very much!

Saturday morning was a visit with Jed, who is very approachable for a Glommite and all. Talks with Jed are amazingly immersive.The discussion of whether or not it was possible to corrupt death into life was fascinating. And all the while he talked about this deep and dark stuff, he happened to have this appropriately creepy music playing. I felt like I was in an elaborately staged play. What a freakin' awesome time that was.

Fighting undead in the day! Hooray! Two Necromantic Terror Insanities: Not hooray!
Dr. Maxwell: “Sigh.”

Accidentally getting Zathir and myself involved in an odd experiment. Atrus has a talent with his gently persuasive words...

Caldor, I love you! Every time we see each other it's a buff party.

Feast shenanigans. We managed to do it up because we had a great and helpful team. I feel truly sorry that we ran out of food as quickly as we did. We tried our best, guys! I know some got left out of stuff and that makes me sad.

Bringing two silly kids through the Phocus, lol.

The intensity of the Baronness' disappearance. Quan Lu's reaction almost brought tears to my eyes. So many feels! Poor Angeliana. Her grief was palpable.

As we were lining up by rank and title or what have you before main mod, Yaya was watching with irritation.
“I don't have the fancy title, Knight Protector, Squire, Rain of Sky, whatever.”
I died.

Getting spirited away at main mod was awesome! Well, not at first. It really sucked leaving my friends to die. But we discovered we were all there because there is fae blood in our lineage, somwhere. Neat! Once we found Rowena in her lovely home (Omg, it was SO pretty by the way!) she ended up lyrically blessing us with the power to channel ancient warriors of sorts. I ended up channeling a gnome druid who happened to have 4 Barskskins, 4 Wrath of Natures and 8 (LOL) Mauls – Surge Casted. (WHAT) So we all went back and just opened a can on the evil creatures wrecking the town!
Yo.
I felt so badass. Like, seriously. That was AWESOME.
“Uh, Swyft? “How are you... Are you... mauling people?”
“Don't worry about it.”

Sunday morning, I was telling Lukas and Zathir to hurry up because we could get attacked was met by some mild scoffing.
Minutes later 7 gnolls came along. Luckily Zathir and I were already on our way out of the tent. The shenanigans that ensued were hilarious. Zathir did a wonderful job of fighting a couple people at a time while I ran around with the others until he could sort them out. Imrahill your sweet duck-trip was awesome.

Becoming a member of the Fancy Jacket club!

Finally opened a martial tree! I learned from Zathir, whom I spent the better part of the weekend with, watching him Ronin around


Being menaced by Karkat is horrifying.
Being told “Oh look, you're all alone...” by him is even worse.
.
Jonas Kane, I love you, but you are going to get me killed one of these days. I do, however, appreciate your confidence in my badassery! I also think we should continue on with the fight against Kitieran racism!


This was such a fun and action packed weekend filled with wonderful immersion and rp. Thank-you everyone for making it such a wonderful place to be.

-enjoying the crazy amount of fire flies!
-getting to visit the origin of song!
-more treasure hunting!
- running across battle field to learning skills in the middle of combat
- napping close enough to Jed and Atrus as to not be eaten by undead
-listening to Mermaids heckle people
-more fishing !
-debating when to jump into the lake to escape greater undead
-"not standing in Valos"
-waiting around for appointments with everyone, (of which no one showed! harump )
-dancing my undead heart out in place, during combat holds
-being undead was generally a lot of fun, main mod was a blast! and people out as PC's were really trying to solve the problems we were giving them!

of course getting to meet new characters and knowing my way around town has been my favorite

im sure I will think of more! shwew!

My highlights:

SO MANY!!! It was epic – so epic. I can’t even process it all.

First, primarily because I forgot to mention it in my feedback form: Order of the Cheese Grater! (It’s a metaphor.) The idea for this order-with-no-meetings came from someone telling Ginny that she should be content with what she can do, and know her limits. As if. Thanks to everyone who joined, and my apologies for not having enough actual cheese graters – I just ordered another 8 dozen so I’m set for the July event.

Other amazing things:

Getting to meet Rowena – who has been a subject of conversation for years – and the final realization of travel-through-trees was amazing. Goose/Mark/MaryBeth & everyone else involved decorating the Temporus Keep did an amazing job. Also, James as the Keeper of the Tomes, inviting Ginny in when she had snuck around to the back to ask him questions through the wall/curtain. Btw – she’s going to be the writer of his new favorite book, she just hasn’t written it yet.

Getting resurrected and coming back all badass in Rowena’s Army. That was a super emotional evening, and props to poor Nalick who held a sobbing Ginny. (I’m totally wearing that tabard every main mod now guys. For serious.)

Helping Rowan not die, not dying when gnolls came around on bathroom mod, feeling elated for Mixolydia, being nervous and excited to do feast stuff, only finding out later Maja died and having to hold it together until later, thanking everyone for being there to fight, and facing off against Nathan during main mod and being able to tell he was laughing at me while he was still singing. (AAAH!)

NPC shift waiting in the woods, and then walking around with two kick-ass girls trying to find out about religion. “Do you have the religion? We heard it’s a good thing to have and we’re looking for it.”
“Compassion and patience? I’m not very good at that.” “No, she’s really not.”

Meeting a murderer and turning him in to the guard. Yeah… that’s going to be interesting.

More lessons! More shenanigans! (Using a fainting goat to teach warlockery to a satyr? Genius)

The standing in Valos comment was brilliant, I’ll agree with Cyndra.

Heroic Bard List.

Yeah… best weekend ever. My voice still isn’t recovered, but when it does, I’m recording the Rowena/Emerald path song I wrote.
