*everyone stares at Steve*

Man oh man oh man oh man oh man

Let's start with the crazy amount of planning that Josh did to assemble the Architects of Creation. As soon as the alt event was announced, he roped a group of people together and as a group, we shlapped together an awesome backstory (despite it only existing in LSD Candyland).

Talking to Gina and Jen as soon as I checked in and got the number written on my arm.
"We're inmates in an asylum, aren't we?"
"SHUSH, STEVE, YOU'RE BREAKING MY IMMERSION."
"But there are totally asylums in game! Like, there's one in Lortra and-"
"SHHHHHHHH."

SLEEPING IN A CLOSET YAAAY

Riddles riddles riddles!

That moment when the Architects of Creation spoke to Rufus Furyburrow and convinced him that they really are grand creations. And then his realization that the Eleventh Hour was the personification of death and destruction.
"The Eleventh Hour is everyone's friend in the end."

The initial realization that something might not be right with the world after talking to Sam's character upon finding out that he drank 20-something potions... And then making a mad dash for a few potions of my own!

Mute chats with the Sandman!

oh god the imaginarium fight with berg
or the Yes-And Fight.
"BUT THE NEEDLES ARE MADE OF PAPER!"

PLOT TWIST! WHOOOOOAAAA AAAAAAOOO OOOO OOH

Seeing that my packet had the insanities of Dementia and Psychopathy, and trying to figure out how to roleplay them... and then realizing that the only thing scarier than a mindless insane brute is an intelligent insane brute.

Telling the orderlies to GET DOWN ON THE GROUND! GET DOWN ON THE GROUND! COMPLY! and trying not to laugh at the look of confusion on their faces.

Solving the puzzles quicker than the ST's expected.
"Is crazy, not stupid."

And then running free into Travance. Smelling and licking people to make sure that they weren't candy. And then the chat with Lois and slow but sure curing of his psychopathy.

AND THEN SUNDAY MORNING NPC SHIFT!

Playing a couple of ice mephits, and then playing Kris the Gambler. Played Egyptian Ratscrew that ended up against me and my OOG sister, and oh my goodness, it was just as intense as it was during all those family vacations in Cape May. A few other card games were played, including the obligatory Blackjack, Go Fish Yourself, 52 Pickup (thank you, Chuck ), and Gin Rummy.

Steven, at least I didn't annoy you with my "Soft Paw" technique. I would have creamed you so badly and taken all of the NPC's money for that game. It was super fun and reminiscent of our childhood.

Thank you
