June 2015 Event Highlights!

I would like to open my highlights with a big thank you for Chris Zipeto. This was his first time telling us a story, and he did just that, he told us this intriguing story filled with mystery, suspense, murder, and action. I could not have asked for a better birthday present then the ride I was taken on, so thank you my friend, continue building your craft.

That being said I want to thank all of you guys, cause I was nervous as hell I couldn't be a smart, docile, alchemist, and yet the response I received was overwhelming and cemented the fact I am a darn good rper and I belong at Knight Realms not just as the meat tank, but as a more serious (even though I was a goofball) intelligent character.

Friday: I bartended at the Bloody Stump which lead to all sorts of different RP. My first ever lesson given and I believe it was a good one, really uping how intelligent I could play my character. I did die, which sucked, I blame Nalick. But it was fun having Mary bring me through. Quote of the night "Yea, I'm a pro at coming through the focus, can I just get the short version?"

Saturday: It was my birthday, so I putz'd around, had some fun, talk to people, I think most of my fun came from main mod where I got to be a Necroblight, oddly enough the thing that killed me. Let me tell you something, never in my 2 years of KR have I had such an amazing fight. For a full 30 seconds to a minute me as a necroblight and John as Atrus just swung on each other as if a full on brawl. It was the most amazing fight of my KR experience, so thank you. I then went on to fight the entire town. I hope you guys had fun as I was body blocked around, standing and banging with all of you guys, just a great battle. Thank you. 4 am conversations and crafting in the kitchen.

Sunday: It was pretty lax, lessons from Rudolf, more goofiness, all in all great event.

I want to thank Jason Marin for instilling confidence in me that my rp is good, as well as others that I'm too tired to remember. Thank you guys for a great birthday and how amazing it was to be around friends. You are all the best friends a guy could ask for, thank you.

Spider Bros. Would spider bro again.

In all seriousness though it was fun being back. I got to see old friends again and to meet many new faces as well.

Soooo very very tired.... 4 hours sleep after KR is not enough. I dont remember nearly enough of everything but I can put down what I do:

Friday night:
-NPCing! The spiders were fun and I loved trying to make mine more intimidating and scary then trying to drop people.Crawling on the ceilings and creeping across rooftops was amazing and I loved all of the rp with the people I was attacking. WTB spell packs for more harpoons though!
-Being a member of the clergy. Walking up to mass- it was literally my very first mass. Ever. Granted as an NPC but OOG I found it really awesome. It almost makes me wish Mae would change her mind about it. Almost.

Friday night afterwards:
-Walking into town and being told everything that's been happening. Asking about focus walks and being assured that no one has died. That lasted about......30-45 min. Then? Allll of the focus work.
-Resurrecting Miss Demeanor. Given the fact that I've barely interacted with your character, it was slightly a shock to find out some of the things I did. That being said, there was no way I wouldn't have rezzed you. No worries! Its toooootally fine. Really. Mhm...
-The gelatinous whatever-the-heck-it-was. Having Lathiel come help! Yay Battle Buddies Forever!
-Being at the scholar table when they started to list out who everyone was. That became significant later on..
-Going to bed... and sleeping for 3 hours max.

Saturday:
-A shower. Ah....showers.
-Seeing the archer! Knowing I've seen the archer! Saying no to the reckless idea of going after the archer with one other person! Having Oren- the person I was telling about the archer decide....to go after the archer with me. One other person. The irony of which I related to him as we walked....
-Running into Jacob! (Jakob? Something) All of the mass confusion of things.
-More mass confusion with people interrogating, learning, healing, just.... everything
-Having the Necromancy ripped out of him and the surprising feelings that provoked
-Thinking it was ended when the count basically said... "Start over. Thanks".
-Helping during the interrogation by thinking about questions.
-RPing the pain Mae was feeling while struggling to acknowledge that it was justified.
-The devastation she felt when she realized that, in all likelihood, he could not be saved.
-Deciding that I wanted to try at the least to see if he could.
-Resurrecting him and pretty much praying

Main Mod:

-Irony. I miss everyone going on the mod. And ran into the Spider again. I do wonder at times what would have happened if I hadn't missed going. I do wonder at that...
-Defending the Spider to every lord/lady in existence. Meaning every one except Aleister.
-Talking with everyone after and knowing that my life has gotten a lot more complicated.
-Going to sleep when I couldn't see anymore

Sunday:
-Was I awake?
-Talking with more people
-Saving goblins! Because why not?

Diner and talks and conversations and stories! I haven't gone to the diner in years and I did relish the fact that I had the time to do so. I enjoyed everything! I also enjoy the fact that my mind keeps going over ideas and plans even as tired as I am. Chris- you did an awesome job running this event and coming up with ideas. To all the NPCs- you were also amazing. By rights, I should have died. Maybe more then once. Pure luck saved me every single time. I do find it amusing that Mae has gone out of her way to keep from getting tied down to anything or anyone in Travance (her teacher notwithstanding) and now she does have something that she feels she needs to be around to possibly deal with. Having her deal with the ramifications of that is going to make for interesting months ahead. I don't know when I will be back but hopefully it will be soon! Take care all

Unfortunately, due to real life responsibilities, I was only able to make the Saturday day portion. that part was a little bit uneventful. Even so, I got some great talks in with the Blood Spirits full members new and aspiring, Caldor, Angeliana, Kleidin and Mirwen. all the quartermaster things- lots of bargaining.

I think we're all going to gush about how organic the event was.
Who knew I was chatting it up with the Crusader Friday night trying to get her attuned because she was a fellow Galladelian? Not this girl until laaate Saturday night after everything was said and done.
A+ work everyone!

-Wildmage breakfast!
-Billlana and Iliumm. I think I just have this thing so other people use it and I'm fine with that.
-George and his martial lessons
-Wren accidentally triggering a brief panic with a joke
-Atrus asking if Ilana was okay. Also, just hanging out with Atrus in general.
-Got to hang out with Caelvan and Keavy a bit too!
-Zyn and Ilana hanging out. Billliamm's interactions with Zyn. All the punches forever
-Captain Hayes. I've never interacted with the character before, but the player is pretty sweet
-Bayou and company. Practically tackle hugging him when I finally saw him IG. Hearing of him in town: '...Kanas, how the hell do you know that name' 'I just met him last night!' '!!!'
-Arden's new little song and Ilana trying to shush her (Gina's quick doodle before game that I hope I can find somewhere in my stuff)
-The Arkovnian had never seen a Legionnaire before. Matt's 'Ah!' Was pretty great as limbs were regrown. (Team Earth Wall)
-Mama Bear visiting. Also eagle, a doe, a rabbit.... Hm, that's interesting.
-The immediate rush of people willing to help Ilana. Quelled a lot of that anxiousness that has been building up this year.
-Being told I had a good idea on the field was a first. Then that idea actually working out *really* well. Also being called 'Captain'. I don't think Ilana has ever liked a title before.
-Trapped in the tent as it rained. Not the worst thing at all.

Sadly due to real-life issues, I'm in the boat of 'Only got to visit for less than 12 hours on Saturday'. But it rocked anyways.

• First time running my own little business and WOW GUYS, I'm totally doing it again it was so much fun! (on a side note, the injury I have a green headband for was only made slightly worse by doing this, so little victories?)
• Chatting with people I haven't seen in forever, IG and OOG
• That gambler/acrobat. Seriously, you are too awesome, even if you were just NPCing this event. Because I forgot your name, come find me!
• And much thanks to the gent who jumped my poor Jeepy in the parking lot. Her battery has been fluctuating since Monday, and finally kicked the bucket the MORNING of KR
• And because I forgot...Thanks to the poor Marshal I sent to find my green headband (that I lost in the first 5 minutes of the game), the gent who plays Lord Silverbow.

And lastly, I'd like to extend thanks to everyone who asked about or consoled me on my various OOG physical and family events at this time. I feel the love Travance
