Week in the Life (WiTL) 2016 Highlights!

Me: It's like something moved through your posi barrier.
Them: Posi anchor
Me: ......... brb, costume change.

Quick highlights:

-Keola making quick friends with the crafters and ritualists she met.

-Demon George and everyone reacting to that situation

-Being deemed Asmaria's new 'favorite' after offering her an ice cream float (If I've been undead for centuries, the first thing I'd want is a good meal and fresh air)

-Corsair repaired

-Lorelai being returned for a few more fights. (Good job killing that Arcanum! /epilogue)

How the hell do I even begin to pick highlights from this event? It was amazing all around. As always, seeing everyone was the best part

Bob. Just... everything with Bob. Experiencing the cosmic bad luck (as Ben puts it) that follows that character around first hand was hilarious and wonderful OOG (and horrible IG for Lois). Lois laughed more than she's laughed in a long time, cried more than she's cried in a long time, and took it all out on poor Nalick . From the chain interruptions on Lois & Bob's picnic during the single worst possible time (seriously that was the most awkward thing ever and for comparison she used to date Goggins), to assisting with his investigations, to the random one-liners ("What happens if you take off your mask?" "It makes it easier to stab me in the face."), every interaction was gold. If you have not had a chance to RP with Bob, find a reason.

Nalick's waterfront mass Wednesday night. Lois couldn't give a rat's arse about Andorra, but she wanted to support her friend. It was a great time (even if it wasn't an "official" mass) with a lot of great RP and discussion. And of course being down by the lakefront on a clear warm night was, dare I say it, magical. Also discovered that Lois is carrying so much crap on her at all times that she literally cannot lay back and relax - I had to take off her belt pouches

Heading up to the inn for a drink and ending up in the most entertaining game of Never Have I Ever that I have ever played, IG or OOG. Man that game gets weird with Travancians!

"Lois has anyone told you that George is a demon?" Over. And over. And over. I'm starting to think Lois's totem animal is an ostrich - when weird stuff happens just stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away :lol:

Some basic singing lessons from Creepy Bard. Thank you so much for that I'll be practicing!

As much as Lois wanted to flee from the bagpipes of the Hibernians, I really enjoyed hearing them played. to the piper!

Angrin cooking all the things. Seriously dude you are like non-stop with getting stuff done and thus my favorite forever.

I really felt like the Barony officers are finally coming together as a real group, and it is awesome to see.

ALL THE MAGIC LESSONS. Barak, Clytie, Rudolf, Sir Doctor Maxwell, thank you Each of you definitely have your own distinct flavor to how you view and teach magic, and I really appreciate how you took the time to "translate" all of it to a way the weirdo Londwyn can understand. (Also learning warlockery outside at night in the silence far away from main mod was 2spoopy and everyone should totally learn it that way ) I think I can now officially say that Lois is no longer the worst mage in Travance.

Fighting lessons with Kanas! Dude you really surprised Lois with your ability to teach. She's going to send people to you from now on.

Sunday morning chats that turned into Sunday afternoon that turned into me leaving camp at 5. Looking forward to seeing y'all at fighter practice

Screaming at Grimkjell and someone telling me, "I didn't know you even had an outside voice." Congrats, Billifer, you are the second person to make Lois actually yell

There's probably a million more things but I'll stop here for now. See y'all in two weeks!

I had a blast as always.

All of the PC's involved in the Sphere of Annihilation plot, you guys pulled out many tricks and kept throwing me curve balls, I hope you all enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed running it!

Fishing down by the lake as Capt. Gem. While that had me sweating bullets the whole time, it was absolutely worth it. (Yes I kept hydrated) and to all the doubters, I caught not one, but two fish with my jury-rigged pole.

I want to thank everyone who was involved in the airship construction mod. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and I hope you guys felt like we were actually throwing a ship together!

Receiving the letter from Orophin immediately after the Airship Mod. My interactions with that character have a special place in my heart. I walk out of the barn to see a skeleton in a top hat and vest.... and it's not me calling any crazy lores... it was simply: OOG: Do I see a skelegent? And in that moment, the WITL for me when from 0 to 1000. The scholars immediately started getting together and we all took point blowing through that book, working through the night. Everyone was amazing.

Baptizing two new priests of Visigalis. Excellent RP with the both of you.

Tarot Cards. Tarot Cards. And more Tarot Cards.

Being a Dark Elf "Matron", and a finding a surprising number of townsfolk who want to try to kill Don Kellard.

Discount Orophin - I did the best with what I could find. Sadly I only wish I could grow a majestic mustache. I hope all of you enjoyed roleplaying with my Selendrian.

Saving a Pentirr Knight. I'd been saving that Amber Oil for almost 10 years. It was worth it.

Phylactery Scavenger Hunt

Having Falia help me smith my Legendary Work. It was enjoyable and rhythmic and a great conversation going from philosophy to weaponry. We have to do that more!

All of the Shenanigans with Tari.

Dmitri and all the work we'll have to do.

A special request from the Baron.

There was seriously so much all over the place and numerous small moments that were a few seconds long but were telling. Special shout out to Taylor for our mid-main-mod thing. *tear*

Dr. Maxwell. Badass Extraordinaire. Got rid of my dementia after 10 years and a few other things.

I know i probably forgot a lot of stuff. But really it was more like Year in the Life. Everyone did an amazing job and if I could sit here for a week and write out all the awesome things I still wouldn't have enough time. So, I can't wait for the next game, and be excellent to each other!

Chaotic Madness RP during main mod. Was asked if I was okay and always answered with a continuation of the hallucination I had.

Strength of insanity lesson during that time was also great. George telling me to strengthen my chaos muscles

Surprised that I was actually informed that Orophin had sent a letter. Wasn't expecting anyone to tell me that one was sent.

Likewise, why does the town insist in rubbing salt in that wound? It hurts her every time it's brought up. Let's remind the crazy person they are alone

Ava was super salty at feast. Especially after those announcements. Thanks for the people around me for being good sports when I just started laughing and hitting the table and ranting about hypocrisy. ((likewise congratulations to all those on an oog level ! ))

Actually being terrored and being forced to be intimidated. Ava never got herself out of situation so fast.

Thanks for putting up with crazier than norrmal Ava and super crazy Christine.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, worked hard, and made this event happen.

I was only there for the weekend; but it was a pretty good time.

Friday- Trying to find some time to craft was a little crazy. Finally went with Gunnar down to wait for Midnight mass. Got a free hotdog, thanks Tris! and got to hang with some great folks. Midnight Mass was awesome as usual. Was so exhausted, went to bed right after that.

Saturday- Morning Mass and Meditation was fun. I really enjoyed helping people find some peace and calm and kind of reset from all the crazy that happens. Market faire was good. I didn't sell as many potions as normal . . . wondering if everyone bought stuff earlier in the week. Clergy Meeting was eye opening and not in a good way. Went to try to fix some things; but the paper has already been crumpled. We will see how things play out. I admit some of the things I heard made me feel hurt, angry and betrayed.

Sunday Morning, got some quick lessons with Rudolf and then taught a few myself.

All in all it was a pretty low key event. Feast was delicious, btw! Thank you to Ree and all of the other kitchen staff that made the meal great. EVERYTHING tasted great!
