Awkwardly hugged @Halos after finding out he has all of his marbles in tact and is just a massive troll. @Caladbolg threatens to charge me with assault shortly afterwards for being Halos on the back too hard with a gauntleted hand.
Played as Talarin for an hour or two dedicated. Was fun.
An old, very good friend who has come back from hanging in LA for a few years came to visit last night. I got him to start Achaea. He's an excellent writer and a wonderful role-player, and his sense of humor is ridiculously fun. But since it was his first time playing a mud EVER...I spent most of the night just laughing at his cocky reactions to denizens in the new player trial before he had to qq and go home.
Gems from the night:
He tried to kill the old man from the start. And then yelled loudly when the guy pushed him out into the hallway and yelled for the guards.
[one of the denizens asks him to follow them out of the prison]
say "I follow no one, bitch."
follow <denizen>
say "Okay well you follow me from the front"
[after escaping the pygmy prison and learning about tattoos]
"Yo, can I have a tattoo from my stint in prison?"
------------
I know it doesn't sound like it....at all.... but he's pretty amazing and if he sticks around (which I hope he does), he'll invest, and genuinely.
I got to participate in a real raid for the first time. Whee.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
I started into the seafaring skill and went deep sea fishing for the first time ever with @Sunny, @Juniko, and uh. ... A sylvan girl I can't remember the name of I am so sorry.
In COMPLETELY unrelated news Malorn is now near-completely broke because she bought like 30 credits with gold, thieves? you may want to find a different target if you see her.
Also got my second letter from a targossian this week, Thanks @Daeir, apparently we CAN have peaceful discourse!
From several hundred miles away so as to not be able to try smiting/chaos warping/Angel soul ripping/enlightening each other. Baby steps.
Logged in, had a message saying my glass pot decayed.. Cried on the inside because I don't want a oaken pot. Checked my shop, and then logged back off.
I get the feeling that I didn't see the same things that other folks saw. I didn't know what folks were reacting to half the time, so I have to say I'm kinda looking for a log, myself.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
I totally want to see some other people's logs, I'm pretty sure there was some stuff going on I missed.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Empowered half the City... Thought something was amiss... Stuck to IC grounds of Never leaving my weapon behind... Chose to speak to an awesome pair of Ladies about statues. Missed something huge.... feel bad because I'm glad... remembered that Kerria wouldn't feel bad for missing it, she would feel worse for being unable to do anything. Prevented self and co-city person from killing several gossip peoples. Scolded that one sexalt/main (alleged) that always hangs out at cc to my annoyance and does stupid shit for attention/gold. Gave Kerria's favorite plushy to @Aerek Drunk in a Brewery, not drunk in publick! (Tater) Watched a man drink himself to death. Prevented self from thumping another man to death for inappropriate behavior. Got plushy back. Worried more about a friend.
Might of accidentally filed more paperwork. (Ha, more...) Dropped a mono on my own raido. forgot mono on own raido. grumbled anger about mono on raido remembered it was my fault in mono vs raido
decided that no amount of drunken Kerria can be made up for sleepy me.
I don't have the assault cause I was kinda talking with someone in tells and was told to follow (Cause incidently I mentioned how uncomfortable I was not having my sword in hand with all the evil emotes lol.) But there ya go.
since Lilian posted her log while I was in the middle of editing mine, I'll just throw mine up anyway. It's not in pretty color or anything, and I'm not the best at editing, but it's a bit cleaned up and has the yells that went on afterward (though some will remain anonymous because I can't tell them apart IG)
I had a few parts I liked quite a bit (Aeryllin's lines at the cave felt particularly poignant, and Zure (<3<3<3<3<3) was amazing. But this bit, reading back through it, was pretty great. I accidentally left it out of the above log (I was looking for a good place to start, and I ended up cutting out a bit of casual chatter before Melodie entered. Might have been a mistake since Wilbur is definitely refrencing this bit) I'd forgotten about it since it was pretty normal when it happened, but in retrospect...
You see Sir Aerek Ancyrion, Polemarch yell, "I believe we're about to begin, if you'd like to gather in the ballroom off the western courtyard hall."
You see Sir Aerek Ancyrion, Polemarch yell, "That is, at least, what my despot-to-be is hinting to me."
Portend claps of thunder snarl across the firmament as the Skylord intones, "To see one of Mine go to the West despite all they have learned is no greater evidence of the folly mortals possess. Enjoy yourself, Wretch, for I ensure to see the Bastion enjoy ripping away the life you no longer care to claim as your own."
A deafening thunderclap explodes in your eardrums moments before an Azatlani atlatl streaks through the room and pierces your heart, killing you instantly. You have been slain by the Skylord.
That atlatl tho
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
After defending shrines from being defiled, I got to do this: A pike with the decapitated head of Praxides has been erected. Yay! My first piked head is Ziva's mother! Totally made my day even if I didn't get the killing blow!
@Jacen In cyrene we*: city charge Hirst with murdermurder log it x3
drink ale.
It's actually quite nice.
*not 100% accurate
Today I: had a weird dream. Like oddlyspecific for a dream. checked for serpents. forged 10 shortswords, kept 4 argued with somone on the definition of "getting a job done" Did more paperwork than I probably needed to. was stabbed to death. In the arena. Several times. totems totems totems!
Debated on joining a pre order. Talked self out of it.
Had some great fights with Eleusis, but Hirst killing random Hashani afterwords just fucking sucked. No idea what you do in that situation.
Also posted my first classlead
I totally thought he was there to defend Hashan, since Vrass, Strata and Andraste do. Saw him skulking near our group and was like "hm, maybe time to dip out"

I almost responded.

Not in terms of lessons, of course - I must've spent two years just fishing up credits. Christ.

That is all.
I take commissions.
@Melodie and @Aerek I can't wait till I see the log
edit: Also, I have a feeling if I had been there, @Hasar would have spent some time trying to convert me
