WitL highlights 2017

[hr]Oh my gosh this event.

During the week:

-Derping around as Liighkaa. Her fellow tribesmen kept warning her to stay safe and she just kind of kept scoffing at them. Ah, Liighkaa.

-Watching Darius get knocked unconscious over a dog. Liighkaa loved that so much, as soon as the brief panic of "OH NO HE'S HURT" was replaced by "He's fiiiiiiiiine."

-Subsequently telling Creepy that the chief of her tribe was knocked unconscious over a dog.

-The Bar Crawl.

-The Cult of Kevin. Watching the Cult of Kevin decide to worship Mustrav instead. (How do you spell Mustrav the Romani's name?)

During the weekend/after the Homunculi show up (it's kind of a blur when some of this happened):

-"DAAAARIUS! I DIED today!!!" ".....Liighkaa, what?"

-Every single interaction regarding Abel, especially during dinner with him and Lazarus. Those two are the best pair and need their own TV show/wholesome adventure series.

-Abel reacting to the body hair conversation he had with Liighkaa. Liighkaa has no concept that there are certain things that a man may not want to be forced to think about regarding his father and his sisters. Especially when his father designed and built his sisters. Much ale was chugged in silent desperation. I couldn't even keep character for that; I was out-of-game turning red.

-YOYO!!!!! Liighkaa loves that girl SO MUCH. "She is dangerous, but very fun!" (When Lazarus and Abel expressed concern about this, her response was that she had been chased by wild bears, and was not afraid of Yoyo. When Lazarus and Abel detailed some of the horrifyingly powerful things that they had fought together and that Yoyo STILL scared them, she replied, "Yoyo will kill me just as much as a bear will.")

-Touching the corpse-powered time-machine and getting my first minor insanity. Along the same vein, the exact interaction that led to it: Liighkaa goes to express concerns to Heimdell that he might not be able to raise his daughter to be not-a-monster, and he responded by vividly detailing an unrelenting multi-generational curse of pain and cruelty he unleashed upon the family of someone who dared to threaten Eden. Liighkaa was very very not convinced that this actually made him a good father.

-Having deep emotional conversations with Abel behind the Inn.

-LIIGHKAA HAD AN UTTER EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN WHEN SHE GOT BACK FROM PAPERWORK. First she finds out that Grigori died, then she finds out that Sébastien died and MIGHT NOT COME BACK(he did), then she finds out that Abel wasn't doing very well after the battle and shortly thereafter that Heimdell may have died and the Homunculi were MIA.... Oh man. Liighkaa is no stranger to tragedy; she was an orphan, she lived to see all of her sisters die, and she lives in desperate hope that Berk will survive another winter. She's also not a stranger to what it feels like to see your family betray your family. However, when she's in Berk, she's taking care of Berk; that's her job. She puts on a brave face and a cheerful attitude and goes to comfort the injured. Travance isn't her tribe. Nobody's supposed to die in Travance, and when they do, they come back. She can't help anybody when she's down south, because everybody is a hero or a healer or a physician, and she has no skills. She could not handle all of that happening at once.

-Speaking of Liighkaa's emotional breakdown: being comforted by Seb once he came back. The exact quote: "Liighkaa, why aren't you jumping around?"

-Searching for a way to contact Abel.

-Grigori's willpower lesson. Hiding in a tree during Grigori's willpower lesson. Throwing acorns at Grigori during and after his willpower lesson.

While NPCing:

-Hysterical hypochondriac! Thanks to everybody who dealt with her, especially those few of you who managed to actually calm her down a little. That was a fun mod. I wish I could have seen how the other "werewolves" were doing."

-I learned to fly the drone!!!!!!

-ICARUS. Oh my gosh, Icarus was amazing!!!!!!!!! She was gorgeous!

-That time Duncan (I think it was Duncan?) dragged me behind the line for healing. When he realized that I was a monster he crushed my face in.

-Once I finally got my groove on as an NPC and started crying like a little girl.

-The fact that there was a defensive line around Heimdell, with everyone facing the line of Spawn.... AND THEY LEFT HIS BACK COMPLETELY OPEN.

-That one brief, oh so brief, moment when I marked a character who was all alone to try and attack and drag back... and it turned out to be Gilgamesh. I couldn't just disengage, but my out of character reaction was just "Oh. Darn."
