March 2016 -- Island Realms -- Event Highlights

I think I picked an interesting event to start at. Let's see...
-Friday night tagged along on an scouting mission with Arradir and Kardin. Ended up trying to do more emotional healing on the way back than actual healing when we thought Kardin died.
"Sadly the only organ I cannot magically fix is the heart."

-Spending time on Saturday helping with Nesterin's lessons. Magic philosophy talks, being a [EDIT: VOLUNTEER] cadaver (WILY NO), ensuing theological talks, hiding around for tracking lessons. Maer is a helpful friend.

-NPC shift, dancing around the inn saturday night as a positive black ooze trying to get laughs out of people

-Trying to help with the pirate attack on Sunday, getting hilariously outclassed by the other healers, being forced to turn a literal blind eye at some secret dissection time.

There were some ups and downs, but overall I really enjoyed my first event. I hope I can see Travance again soon.

ISLAND REALM HIGHLIGHTS
-Drinking contest against André the Romani that ended in a very satisfying tie. Seeing him with a shirt on threw Kardin for a hell of a loop though.
-SO MANY NEW FRIENDS AND THE RETURN OF OLD ONES. Names to remember, Danae, Willy, Berry, Maer, Cyrik, Markus, Nesterin, Allyce, Arradir (I'm probably forgetting some people )
-First time Kardin led a mission completely by himself. Gathering herbs and map making with Maer, Arradir, Cyrik, and a Bedouin who tried to hug Jed. *forehead is red from all the facepalming*
-As always, the food.
-Playing a bit of music with Burkhart. Who remembered how to play the song I wrote!
-First time Kardin was attacked from all sides by himself, and first time he fought off and escaped from an ambush of rogues. Also avoided their traps.
-Being thrown by Seamus into my gear.
-Tracking down the same rogues and getting trapped in itching powder, quick bind, and alchemical adhesive with Keavy. (It was pure evil)
-First arrest after escaping the trap and tracking down (a second time) the rogues and bringing them to justice.
-First life tag was taken. Basically died like Gandalf. Was grabbed by a falling enemy into the abyss. Was brought back as Kardin the White. (So pleased to see how many people were actually affected by Kardin's death. Actually got a bit emotional at that. Love all of you guys so much!)
-Dwarf mom's reaction to Kardin's survival. "That's very nice, now help me pick up these bottles."
-Interrupting my own wake like a badass. Still pissed that no one left a drink for ME. Next time perhaps.
-First Master Warrior lesson with Grim.
"Kardin, emotionally move me" (Thinking of poetry or personal tale)
"Sorry, Lieutenant..."
"For what?"
"You're a f**king Chaos Warrior."
*roughly half a minute of strangling Kardin noises*
"You pass." WHAT DID I LEARN?!
-Spoke with Bob, Marcus, and Nalick about the move known as 'The Andorran Scarecrow' and why Nalick makes sure to keep his staff squeaky clean. Discussed how marriage unions must work for inter-dimensional travelers like Verril. Saw a smile from Bob *so proud*
-Attending Light Mass for the first time and was coaxed into participating a bit (Praise Valos)
-Meeting Danae, a Barbarian who tried to get my hackles up, but deciding I was worth her time and gave much appreciated support and occasional head scritchies.
-Learning from Sergeant Allyce that I am truly mini-Magnus.
-Being challenged to a fight by Markus who believed that his magic would make quick work of me.
-Absolutely cherishing the look on Markus's face when he realized he just picked a fight with a Northman and banked on magic to help him win. (We can work on your form, mate!)
-Looking forward to a future lesson from Duncan about being a Master Warrior. So excited about that.
-Learning that the Blood Spirits may not be as bad as Kardin had thought, and Birgitta isn't all that scary after all. (Leslie you are the NICEST LARP mom ever. Thank you for trying to save me from youthful stupidity)

Add to quote section of KR boards somehow please

I got to go to an event and didn't have to rush home on Sunday or drive back at 2 am and I didn't freeze YAY! I'm looking forward to April, when I can stay the whole weekend AND can come up early in the day on Friday.

I had an absolute blast in the BoatRealms chat. I love being able to interact with characters I don't normally get a chance to see during an event, and interact with the ones I do in a different way.

So many lessons. Thanks to Grim, Seigfried, Gideon, and George. Combat!Lois begins... I guess I should finally buy some body, huh?

"If you want this to go more smoothly, we'll need an updated guard roster."
"I'll take care of it."
Yessssssss someone volunteered for paperwork!

Belegchand's Big Book of Rituals.

Watching Coran be amazing at his job, even when I tease him by pretending there are seven people in the inn waiting for businesses

Gren & Skree & charades. I was so sad when we found out the hidden fourth step, and finally understood why Gren made us promise to take Skree with us. It was amazing RP - plus watching James make lewd gestures to get across the concept of "life avatar" to Belegchand was hilarious

How to Gren & Skree the word for "ear" became "elf", and "gold" became "Tanwyn"

I never sing in front of people. Like, ever. I discovered this event that Lois will sing in front of Nalick.

Conversations with Tari.

After a series of interruptions, teaching Belegchand his 100th lore, and getting to end the lesson with the phrase "sorry not sorry."

I came home so energized from the event. Thank you everyone for your stellar dedication to RP and each other

Drunk Tracking is best tracking And there was absolutely no secret dissection.... absolutely none... just the one we did on you while you were alive. (and a willing participant i might add)

Yes. Add the kardin quote. It amuses me.
