James Jones - For a great NPC shift, your a fantastic MM, and I hope to NPC for you again!

And finally James C Kimball for a list that is way to long to post on here! But the way he cares for each of the members of Knight Realms is unreal!

Haha! That was me who jumped your car, nice meeting you again! I had the same thing happen to me one event, so I know the feeling

• 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 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

Alright, so what I remember about this past event:

Hung out all afternoon on Friday, sifting pebbles with my homies. Scooped up the first NPC shift I could because screw taking off PC makeup on a weekend.
I played the notable role of ‘scream like you’re getting bloody axe murdered’ lady and received many compliments on my performance.
On Saturday Collin kept himself busy amusing himself among the new faces. He made the trek up to Jed’s cabin in the middle of who-knows with a healer and a ranger, where he learned for the first time that Glommites are particularly weird when it comes to where they put their snakes. For the record I never find opportunities to interact with Jed – although I faun over his contact lenses from afar and sending him mind waves hoping he knows that his makeup game is forever on point.
Papa Gypsy, Lord of the Gypsies and keeper of the Gypsy hive, extended a helping hand to my wayward Sylph. Upon realizing his crippling debt, Collin buried himself in pebbles and cried like a hero of Travance. Scholars and bards will be recounting his meltdown for generations.
Ilana was there to raise his spirits afterwards, and as a word of caution, he’s going to try and return the favor.
He was serenaded by a Bard-barian at the Inn, and heckled the guard without dipping his toes too far into trouble for once.
He enjoyed the company of Kit and Scout and Clytie, and has been considering allying with Alessandria with a wavering frequency of commitment. After all, they have the coolest stuff and he wants the public to know he’s fun at parties.
Collin’s face was unkempt after a particularly long voyage and a lack of sharpened rocks in sight, but maybe next event he’ll stop getting asked if he is part dwarf.
MeANWHILE THe DWARF ALCHEMIST at the Bloody Stump won my heart on Saturday night. I had a blast – and got blasted – on some of the finest pickle juice/lemon cocktails this side of Arawyn. Definitely something to boast about.
The Guard continues to be a thorn in my side, and nobody continues to be surprised. The council of slackjawed onlookers gathered to decide how they would do away with the Spider, and my Sylph tried to part the sea of debate with honest, brutish commentary a la Coasthaven. On behalf of my OOG self, I apologize. Speaking of, I met Crunchy the Coasthavener among several others and shared bawdy tavern stories that had me in stitches.
I would also like to chime in and gush about how cool that acrobat gambler was. I hope you’re doing rad flips and stuff, wherever you are.
And finally, to Cade – it warms your Captain’s cockles to see you becoming a fine leader.

My thanks to everybody who made this event possible - I know I was gone for awhile, but it’s great to be back and I’m ready to stick my PC’s nose in some plot shenanigans if I find the right people to tag along with. This event flowed so nicely, I really felt like part of the tension and excitement. I can’t wait to come back next month and see everybody again!

Visiting Jed’s shack and getting overwhelmed and sickened by the Darkness emanating off of the unholy snake skin displayed on his altar. Damn you, Glomm!

Tried to have a conversation with Evrat but we were interrupted half a dozen times by random shenaningans; one of them being a group of about twelve undead that popped out of the woods and chased us up the path to Jed’s shack… Like that was gonna’ save us… Had to blow a Luck: Flee and Everat used his Pursue to keep up (lol) and we managed to (barely) escape!

Meeting “Legion.” What a guy! It was his first event here and he was a fantastic role player! He played his madness from Stonefall SO well! My only regret is not getting to spend more time with him! I hope he comes back!

Running into Bill’s merchant who had been slighted by Draven and being confused on how to approach his "arrest."

Accidentally running into Matt’s main mod boss thinking it was part of Lorelai’s test. Man oh man that was intense. Most of the time I thought it was planned, too…

Then running into him again later as he was in the barracks. I tried to heal the two people down on the ground and accidentally hit Grim (who was berserking) with my sword. Oops. (I’m really, really good at healing berserkers, apparently.) That fight was crazy. I’m not sure how MattMagnus channels all that energy. He has the endurance of a kid who ate six pounds of candy. I’m envious.

Berserking Atrus being physically wrangled by Aleister so that he didn’t kill everyone else. That was quite a scene, guys!

The ooze Izumi rats who wouldn’t quit. Or die. It was fun losing patience at the end and just going HAM.

Miss Demeanor and Erik being disturbing in the barracks with their lessons in unsavory things…
Saturday morning was a treat with a morning constitutional with Jonas over to Alissandria where we had lovely and inappropriate conversations.

Sparring and training with Ignatius and his henchman! You guys are such a blast! What wonderful tricks I am learning!

Vedrane Blade mod. Oh MAN, that was awesome. Thank-you for the upgrades!!!

Being asked to be Kit’s Maid of Honor at her and Billiam’s wedding! Omg!

Fun chats in the cook’s room!

Making Feast with that amazing crew. Couldn’t have asked for better folks. You were incredible. POTATOES FOR DAYS!

Guard promotions… Poor Grim getting stuck with the hug squad.

Atrus' sadness finding out that Terezi wasn't Terezi anymore...

Talking to possums under tents with Utguard as we were waiting in the “trap” for the beginning of main mod.

Accidentally healing a main mod boss. Whoops…

Jack’s Visigalan sermon about balance.

Nearly bursting with joy when Karkat accepted Swyft's gift of a rainbow scarf... and wore it!

The Green Goose’s shenanigans that lead to some incredible RP feels when Magnus went up against Karkat…

I think my heart stopped when Magnus screamed “SHUT-UP!” into 9 year old Terezi’s (Psy’s) face. The way that Karkat calmly laid his weapons on the table without a word and immediately leaped for Magnus and took him by the throat for it was epically awesome. Seriously guys, wow. There were so many feels going on when Magnus and Karkat went outside to “settle it…” The idea of mini-Terezi losing him… All I could do was hug her and cry with her questioning why this felt so wrong if it was the right thing to do and whether or not justice could co-exist with compassion. Amalthea was absolutely amazing, trying so hard to comfort us both while not giving in to the shocking sadness of it as well. After about twenty minutes of this, Karkat returned and we sat at the table, quiet and sullen, wiping our eyes and trying not to sniffle too much. No one dared ask what happened.
Bravo, guys!!!!!

Late night heartfelt talks with Amalthea. Girl, you never cease to amaze me.

The incident with Jonathan and Colin and the assassin who cut them apart and stole their eyes while they were on the road! Sheesh! Magnus and Amalthea and I all tried to comfort them, and assured them they were safe now. Then half an hour later, we got word from Collin that they were attacked again and Jonathon was killed. It was truly heart wrenching. What do you say to someone after you promise them safety and they are killed? That was rough. Interesting Phokus walk, though. Dat rain!
Phenomenal job by those guys, they really tugged at our heart strings!

The gypsy king and Boryev’s perfectly orechestrated gypsy hex that the “king” had to apologize to him every time he referred to himself as the king of the gypsies. HILARITY. Well done, both of you!

Breakfast with the Seneschal!

Treated to a second morning constitutional with Jonas on Sunday! What luck!

A failed attempt at changing Evrat’s perspective on his past.

Fighting persistent orcs and getting to “solo” one with some help from Caelvan so that I could stay on my feet and take vengeance for the fall of an ally!

Each and every interaction with you all! I love my KR family!

The incident with Jonathan and Colin and the assassin who cut them apart and stole their eyes while they were on the road!

Minor correction, since I'm pretty sure the other guy was Colin I think you're confusing Jonathan with me. But yeah that was intense, props to Magnus, Almathea, yourself, and the shadowy hooded dudes who ran us around the inn.

That shadowy hooded dude was me. It was some interesting RP and possibly the only time I've had to deal with that as my character. Props to you two.
