February 2017 Highlights

Had fun in the kitchen Saturday morning and popping in now and then. Made me remember how much I miss it! Luis, your feast was FANTABULOUS!!! And Ree makes one hell of a chicken noodle!

I spent quality time getting to know Keola... She convinced Swyft to go to a Light Mass, even! And after, we had fun accidentally stumbling upon super secret Heimdall meeting while just visiting Winterdark for funsies. ...That was a little scary.


Sparring with Sir Ulric! I missed that so much!


Were-Spiders! Snow fights with Zipeto! A+ would snow fight again!


Swyft realizing the amount of ferocious support she has in a pinch. And some in the most unlikely places.


Random fire elemental attack in a room of white head banded drega'folk. Annora showed up right after so I had to bust on her. “WHERE WERE YOU, PALADIN? I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T HERE TO PROTECT ME!”


Discussions about goth clubs with the amazingly fabulous Kevin Sweeney. The “floor slap” still kills me, dude.


Ben... oh my god. Poor Bob. Seeing Bob happy because he forgot the bad things that happened in his life to make him what he was. It was HEART BREAKING. How dare you do that to Swyft! And all of his other friends! And we all had to watch knowing, dreading, the return of the memories and what they would do to him. Because it wasn't enough to go through it the first time, huh?
Way to pull the heart strings, Ben. PHENOMENAL job.


Forgetting about tag skills on golems and hitting one with a slay in a rage. ...Hard mode activated.
Oof. Sorry, guys. :x


A very school-girl conversation with Cy and Leliana about Van... I do hope that hilarity ensues from it!


Nalick's reaction to Tessa and Swyft's teasing. Dat azz.


Good times with my bard buddies and Edwin in the snow.


Getting to meet YoYo and being COMPLETELY fascinated. I hope she makes a return trip. I have some ideas...

Zelretch's face after I told him I had a talk with Yoyo. Priceless.


Pranking Heimdall with a certain cackle for threatening to trip Zelretch so Yoyo would get him instead. And being given permission to do so by two paladins! Lol! I really hoped it would end poorly so Swyft could make them look bad.


Matt, your reaction was just too great. AT LAST I WAS THE ONE DOING THE BULLYING AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! BULLY! BULLY!!! Muahahaha!



The saga of Yay and Wolfgaar--- dude lost ten years. That was rough! A+ Rp guys.


A heated conversation with Aldric... and surprising myself with what I didn't want Swyft to forget.


Everyone was really on their role play A game this time. Alisia ran a great event that got literally everyone involved, whether they wanted to or not. Everyone dealt with it so fantastically that I ran out of role play points!!!!

Forgot a few things....

Teaching Master Warrior Lesson Three.... with a group of New Players as assistants and turning it into a Basic Lesson for them on several things. (if it were allowed, I'd say ya all got a basis for MW part 1.... there is always the future!)

A talk with a Master Assassin....

A discussion on who is who in the Zoo that is the Witch Hunters... and what THEY need to do to fix some shit.

Rane.

Jokes about Keavy forgetting her mate... "Considering some of the crap he's put her through over the last year, that might not be a bad thing..."
(semi-pained laughter ensued- even from Dani. )

Aelia being sweet on Duncan when Caldor wasn't around.... Uh oh. :ohmy: :ohmy:

Counseling a depressed Satyr. (I didn't think a depressed Satyr was possible, to be honest. But it *is* Travance.... )


I know I am forgetting other things... but Its what I got.

A heated conversation with Aldric... and surprising myself with what I didn't want Swyft to forget.

Not heated on my end, more confused. Aldric had lost all memory of Travance by that point and was wondering why this Namierrian was so angry about being offered the blessings of the Light. Then trying to understand what she was talking about before finally gathering himself in his Faith and saying to her, "No. The Light does not work that way. No, Andorra does not do that. No, you misinterpreted something along the way. I will help you see the truth." Confronting her bitterness and delusion again with fresh eyes, came crashing back after the memories were recovered....

Its going to be fun Renee.

Yoooooooo where do I even start

I got candy and all it took was exposing the most precious part of Lois' psyche for Alisia to tear out

I really, really hate winter events. The cold makes me miserable. I seriously considered just skipping this - but it was well worth coming. The chance to really crystallize not just *what* is important to Lois, but *why* - and thus, why other things she's been stressing about don't matter - was great.

"Bad Dragon"

"Hello"

Argyle! Holy shit Forest, that was amazing. We've gotta find a way to RP together for longer periods of time. I can't wait to see where that exchange takes the two of them in the future. And Erik - watching Wulfgar deal with the aftermath was *amazing* RP from you. The howling was eerie and I could practically feel the pain.

I can't really pick, like, a specific person whose portrayal of their memory loss was my favorite, because they were all so different and so good. Billliamm probably hit the hardest, because his regression to when the McKraegars & Lois first came to town reminded her of so much that she hadn't thought about in years. The funniest, though, was definitely when Gras was like "What's a moon elf?" and EVERYONE AROUND HIM collectively decided, without communicating, to not tell him anything

Bob's heartbreaking "Why does everyone keep telling me they like seeing me happy? How terrible is my life?" - and Lois' subsequent near-shouting at him all the reasons he actually *is* happy so he wouldn't be so scared. As much as she wanted to stick close to him because she knew and dreaded what would happen when he remembered, she actually felt really special because she realized she gets to see Bob happy and enjoying himself like that all the time.

Rowan's song. Teresa, you wrote that yourself, right? It's amazing and I desperately want to hear it again

Utgard writing down "I remember basic bathroom and hygiene skills"

To Gideon: "These are all important and cover a lot - but maybe you should write down that you love your wife." Geoff stating that this made him realize how much Lois has changed when it comes to empathy.

All the interactions surrounding Father and the Homunculi. FINALLY being able to talk about what she's known for months - thanks for that, Dad

Kevin as Reginald. My god, man! That was a hilarious and wonderful portrayal, and I still can't believe you walked around in February in knee socks!

Balla as Kassim doing the Homer "nope into a bush" with the Inn doorway curtains as Bob starts describing the killopede.

HAH LOIS TOUCHED BELEGCHAND'S EAR! It was so soft and elfy It is her most fervent hope that he will now be incredibly paranoid about what other ridiculous nonsense he allowed to happen while he had amnesia Lois is secretly really mischievous

In the month of forgetting, Lois' past literally walked up to her covered in blood.

Telling the story of the hat, and the subsequent conversation with Jackdaw. And then both Justin & myself separately choosing to forget that and the wendigo attack afterwards, so when they talked to each other they had no idea they'd forgotten anything

ALSO! Being Jason Feldman's hands as he monster marshaled the Sunday shift FROM CHINA over Skype Now that's dedication to the game Thank you to Tim, as well, for allowing that bit of experimentation.

Probably more stuff. Basically THANK YOU ALISIA & DREW & THE WHOLE CREW, this event was great and I am really excited to see how this changes everyone's RP going forward

Yooooo Bruce and Jeff are my new favorite.

Most memorable: walking into the inn after the tsunami of memories came back. Everyone is crying. Wili, being a goddamn sociopath, "why is everyone crying? I thought getting your memories back was the whole point?"

Whilst memories were gone, messing with Aldric about the evil sun pendant. Someone said "no one is in charge, there are no rules", so I took that as "I'm in charge! Give me all your gold!". It actually worked on the super Londwyn looking Londwyn. Heh.

I wish I had pickpocket skills. So many of you stuck your butt in my face while I was hiding in the corner after the atomic bomb of memory loss. Sooooo many butts. Thanks for not farting, still sad I can't cut purse.

Where do I begin? Thank you so much, Alisia!! You made this event the best ever. Reyna knows now just how much her brother loves her.

Reyna's highlights:

Getting to cover my face in blood with the other witch hunters to bait lycanthropes on the full moon.

The mod with James. That was some fantastic role play. Thinking outside the box to try and get what we needed was a lot of fun!

Showing up late to Heimdell's meeting and getting to see him for who he truly is. I don't know how Reyna reacted to that because I was in so much shock.

Reyna really needs to spend more time with Grim. Also, Lois is great.

Hunting the were spiders. Fuck spiders OOG, and this was way worse. But it was Reyna and Corvus's "first witch hunter date," so that made everything better.

Fighting the Wendigo immediately after was great.

Losing Reyna's first memory was terrifying for her.

Belegchand's memory preserving ritual. I never thought Reyna would actively participate in something arcane on that scale, but she was desperate enough to offer to pour some of her own posi into it.

More memory deterioration in forgetting her brother was still alive. And then forgetting Berk was destroyed at all five minutes after she "found him" again.

Having to keep her cool while her closest friends forgot more devastating things and helping someone who had lost everything not part of the ritual cope.

Talking to Clytie after she had forgotten 5 years of memory.

Argyle's memory loss. Reyna: "Do you know who I am?" Argyle: "You're Reyna... Are you my daughter?"

Post main mod remembering. Sitting on the floor in the bar area of the Inn with Corvus and Mileof recovering.

OGRE CON 1217!!!! PRAISE ENAX!!!

The Father revealing himself to the town, and Reyna saying goodnight to him after. His face when she hugged him was unforgettable.

Leah's highlights:

I got to play my alt on Sunday!!!

Duncan pulled Leah through the Phokus after she was dead for just over four years. That roleplay blew me away as he helped her remember herself and come back.

Meeting Darius for the first time since she died. Hiding behind Duncan and him pulling her hood off to reveal her... That could not have been more perfect!

So yeah, this was an amazing event. See you all in March!!
