Achaean Raves

Chapel

I wanna thank @Mhaldor for not killing any denizens during their raid last night while we only had a few folks in town.

Also, I hate getting shot with bows so can we just all agree to not use them anymore so that I can live a longer happier life?

love you all

Mishgul

Bows are the devil.

Orzaansyn

Thanks to @Vicious for my two first victories in combat.

Told you you were complaining too early :P All we did was kill a few soldiers inside the city, then vanish after ~20 mins. Nope, going to keep using bows, sorry!

Seftin

I hate bows so much i bought a level three to just not use it and use my level 1 in mockery of its op'dness

Garis

Fitting my first post here be a rave as I have not ever been all that pissed off at Achaea or the players, heh.

HUGE HUGE, yeah bigger than that HUGE rave @Kaiu for surprising myself and Garis with his gift for his 100th birthday. 

Garis has been in a order, I loved the process and interactions of getting and being a full order member, He was on the council in the Sentaari, and earned the Master title through path work.. again I loved getting to and obtaining those goals. I enjoyed every event that Garis has participated in. I should of just been posting raves from time to time to thank everyone involved.

But, today is my new favorite Achaean memory. Not because holy crap I got a ship, but when I realized how much Kaiu did, and everyone who chipped in to help make it happen. It will always be a very special thing to me.

Kaiu and I had talked and set gold aside from time to time to get our own ship. So imagine my surprise.. stunned silence.. holy shit is this real?.. , today, when she had me board a seastrider, and told me that it is mine. Not only had she done this, she got with others and fully decked it out. Got with @Aurora to make sure naming it in reference to her would be okay, but also @Deucalion helped by moving it to Targossas so that Garis would be the first to truly sail it. 

Most will probably think this is a 'wow I got a big ship' post, but honestly it is a 'I cannot believe what all Kaiu did to do that' moment. Seriously.. all I had to do was take it out of Targossas' harbour. It blows my mind that somebody would make that happen for me

Again, thank you @Kaiu, It will bring a smile to my face every time I think about it for a long long time.

Thank you also to @Aurora, @Deucalion, @Anaidiana, @Salome, @Ellodin, @Ermot, and whomever else I may not know that helped her out setting this ship up. You all rock.

I better throw @Silas in there for the impromptu blessing I requested before I took her out for the first time too. That just topped everything off perfectly.

This is and my new all time favorite moment in Achaea

It's a hood, thank you very much.

Taraus

My ship, my ship!

It's always been a central part of Tart's rp, and just recently, it's grown to epic proportions. The addition of an amazing customised figurehead (squee @sohl @lianca) and some baller interactions with a fellow captain have inspired me, and I've finally decided to throw the credits I've been saving for other stuff at the ship instead. Totally worth it. 

(I'm also inordinately excited about the fact that Tart now actually owns a door. The shiftless gypsy is growing up! Holy shit, she has a door!!)

Dunn

Shit take the one off my office.

Taraus

Normally I would say anything for you, bby, but two doors is more responsibility than I am willing to take on right now.

A hood?! The HUAC(House of Un-Achaean Activities) would like a word with you.

Weapons, crew, and time are not too much responsibility, right?

I overcame my fear of sailing because of @Taraus.

Of course not, those are as natural as breathing!

Amunet

@Lianca, @Taraus, @Sohl, @Verily, @Fitz, and whoever else had a hand in making this super-cool mask that Amu now has in her possession. I love you guys.

EDIT: Mask description!

an ornate mask of the Enlightened Empress

Carved from the finest ivory, the base of this mask is a rich, creamy colour, the entirety of its smooth, polished surface free from any imperfection. The large, almond-shaped eyeholes, aquiline nose, and high cheekbones create a coolly regal countenance. Surrounding the eyeholes, tiny curls of obsidian mimic dense, luscious eyelashes, each sparkling with a dark, stygian glamour. Akin to some baleful tiara, inlays of carved onyx spread from the apex of the forehead. The inky stonework twists and writhes in sleek lines around each eye, and slinks across the cheekbones in a series of tiny whorls and curlicues, before tapering in delicate tendrils to finish in feathered curls along the jawline. Intertwining with the exquisite pitch ornamentation, strands of pure, spun gold stitch through the mask, the aurelian shine highlighting the depth of the stone's hue. Crowning the 

majestic facade with a sublime fan, a row of piceous ostrich feathers sweeps back over the head and curls high, the caliginous plumage creating a showy coronet. Concealing the thick quills of this replendant meridian, a perfectly preened row of lush, snow-white swan's down has been applied, stark against the shadowy magnificence of the crown itself. A row of tiny pins, each topped with a black seed pearl, fastens the headpiece at the hairline, carefully demarcating the boundary between smooth ivory and sleek feather with their ethereal lustre. Set in the centre of the forehead, a giant, glittering emerald stares out, the precious gem beautifully carved to replicate an eye, its multifaceted, verdant surface sparkling wildly in any light. Counter to the grandiose, verdigris display, the mouth has been hewn from a single ruby, the curves of the flawless lips pursed slightly in a carmine moue of consideration. Two black satin ribbons extend from the sides of the mask to hold this resplendant mask upon the face. Each of the fastenings is crisscrossed with a delicate gilt embroidery and ends in a showy tassel of silken threads. An incandescent orange glow suffuses the mask, seeming to originate from a small glyph scratched upon it.

Vyn

Totally not as big and amazing as everyone elses' posts but..

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 76.

You have reached the illustrious level of Archmortal.

So close. *Drool*

The recent public posts by the leaders of Ashtan, Targossas and Mhaldor. Very well written and enjoyable to read. Also learned a few new words.

I agree. Props to Silas, Ruth and Dunn.

Melodie

Oh god, that events post about the little girl is amazing. Super props to whoever wrote that. It's just perfect.

I'm -slightly- jealous of @Havyn. Just a little bit!

Also, apparently the Imperium is now my house. Excuse me while I go bug Verrucht for the deed. :>

Silas

That's probably my second favourite events post behind Xhaiden Dale.

The entire event was actually really well done, and very involving, with some twists that I didn't really expect. I really enjoyed how the denizens involved played their roles around us, and the little touches like the deathsight for the hunter just made it all that bit more special. Plus, Duke Semiro was absolutely badass, and those one-armed bandits are all kinds of adorable.

Big thanks to all involved, player and admin alike. Was a lot of fun.

Lianca

You killed my bounty hunter.

I wanted to find out what his black bloodknot meant, and am really glad I got the red one he gave Lia non-decay now.

Melodie

So, @Silas...

Will you twirl for me? ;;)

Defection to Mhaldor in three, two...

(That is an amazing mask.)

Orzaansyn

@Zii 's finger is now famous. I like it.

Ruth

A day late, but thanks to @Peak for this random gift. It suits.

    swordxxxxxx         Ruthless Dragons

Forged from a flame-touched alloy of the finest steel and silver, this blade exhibits a sharp curve
along its length, accentuated by a double groove carved into the metal. The short tang is encased by
a grip of carmine snakeskin in an intricate cross-hatch pattern. Rounding off the grip is a
pyramidal pommel fashioned from gold, affording perfect balance to this masterfully crafted weapon.

Shunsui

The post about the little girl (aka Stumpy) is hilarious, the fact that she's praying/talking to Aurora and telling her not make deals with Silas makes me giggle a little bit.

Jiraishin

@Chryenth Stygian is -everywhere-.

Lianca

@Chryenth + @Jiraishin
That mask was supposed to be ridiculously ornate, it's also pared down because it went over sketch examined limit (I didn't even know that existed, and was fairly sure Phaestus was going to smack me down for its length anyway!) But there are only so many words for black and in that much examined stygian had to be called to serve.
