February Event highlights.

also, also, also,

Scandalous limericks.

JEN YOU KNOW THEY MAKE A POST EDIT BUTTON FOR A REASON

I'll be quick this month, mostly due to being exhausted. Everyone was roleplaying at their best due to the close quarters, combat was fun, being the big bad... not evil guy of main mod was fun, affecting character's roleplay and development through my own play as Ira Dolentium was fun, fighting Billiam and the rest of the town was fun, trying to challenge Ardin Silverbow only to get distracted by annoying psions was fun, all my interactions as grim and Ira were great. Sean and Dave and my NPC bros all did a faboo job, I just wish more people got to see it.

Land system actions are filtering back as roleplaying grist, ongoing player-based plot is also great. I actually managed to sleep some this month, and feast was quite good.

The return of and all of the RP moments with Mother Lenore, especially when she approached me for advice.

Falling on my ass, figuratively and literally while playing an NPC who was Birgitta's "brother." Boy, do I have a thing or two to learn about thinking on my feet.

Also, don't mess with Birgitta.

Bumping into Croi and Galen in the Monastery and unintentionally making Croi crawl under a table with laughter.

Joining the Baronial Guard and then several hours later, impressing my fellow guardsmen and guardswomen, as well as myself. I was ecstatic.

Hanging out with Argyle, Tessa, Brother Aldric, Mother Lenore, Alyuhn, Duncan, and the rest at the Barracks late at night.

Telling people who knew about the copper statue of Nalick, that it was now a "copper copper." Subsequently being told to "Get out" of whichever room I'd been in.

Oren's Captain America moment or "Vice Captain Kormyre":
Vice Captain Oren incapacitated an NPC by throwing his shield at it. He made an impression on more than just a goblin's chest.

Foot in mouth disease: Friday night, I let slip a couple details of an event that happened a couple months ago. To Nalick's chagrin, a small crowd gathered, wanting more details.

Speaking of disease, later that night I purchased a blanket that I hadn't known was infected with pox. Thankfully it was cured within minutes of me walking into the bar the next morning with my face and hands covered in spots.

Renee then went OOG to admonish me about the importance of vaccines. Thanks again.

When I walked into the Monastery and Swyft joked--I think--"Ahh, there's my future husband."

Light mass at the bar! A collaboration courtesy of Brother Aldric and Angeliana, complete with cookies and song. The cookie part was planned, while the singing was brought on by Jonas.

As was this: "Praise the peace-opotamus!"

Speaking of peace, Nalick made it with Ketryn. The next afternoon, Ketryn received a bouquet with a cryptic, two-word note. I assure you, we will get to the 'bottom' of it!

Saturday afternoon, I made a trip to Alisandria for a diplomatic meeting of sorts. Unfortunately, neither the Lord nor the Lady were in the Proper. Not only that, but neither myself nor Verrill could get in the door. There was something so important going on in the statehouse that the door could only be opened the width of Godric's face.

After that, hitting the Bloody Stump to relax with Ostcliff friends, who lamented too soon that there wasn't any alcohol.

"That's not exactly true." Nalick took out and passed around the bottle of wine he would have used to bri--share with Alisandria.

Squire Gregory popping the bottle open and having it spurt out all over him.

Croi wrote part of a song about the copper Nalick statue and it is amazing so far! (Jen, it's always a highlight when I get to hear you sing, as I did several times this weekend.)

I loved hearing the responses to my poem in the Chronicle, which ranged from sadness and empathy to anger. The latter being Billiam's.

19 days until I see you all again!

How could I forget! Nalick's gift of a scarf to Ava! Ava not getting the pure kindness in it and assuming it was going to kill her somehow.

Despite the cold weather and the season...Best Valentines Day game ever an yes i have had a few. There is nothing like being warmed inside by friends and family when its so cold in the world.

Everything in this event was awesome from feast to fun. From NPCs to PCs storytelling reminising and twisted plot. Loved it.

The Defranza's were are and will always be awesome. Jeff Balla I love you. Being an only child myself I've never had a brother. My RP with you is going to be a wonderful thing to play out as something i have never RL had... And I will teach you improvisational theater!

The 'bad guy' NPC team. The Great well thought out background rich and emotionally charged characterization made this event stand out for me. The twists on both sides was awesome. Im sorry i was doing kitchen clean up when main happened... But the fog effects also needed to be maintained. 50 pounds of dry ice...

My Blood Spirit players and associates are really becoming a team! You rock.

Reminising IC with certain very old PCs was awesome.

Finally having a reason for face time IC with Norm even on the fly. I miss you when i don't have an excuse.

Gina your playing a radically different Dragoon... Just wow. Totally impressed. Zero Arden leaked through. ZERO! And i so wanted to pull her out of that group... I can only hope our talk mattered.

I loved how both groups twisted what was going on...150 shades of Travance intrigue on peace. Give peace a chance....

May. No itsPeace at any cost...ritual oops did I use the wrong word?

Ah the buzz words of Travance explained.

Ah turning down a very lucritive contact... Very... Dangerous.

Good thing something else came down "days" before.

Much love.
