Character development comes a lot easier when given excellent frameworks like this one. Kudos to @Jurixe, @Sherazad, @Ruth, and the entire culture team and anyone else who has been involved in putting together this recent string of events in Mhaldor, it has been really appreciated.
Mhaldorian Reflections Ball was amazing! Raves!! Was super interesting and even hilarious at times, I am so glad Areigna got to go (thanks again to @Sherazad!!). Well done @Jurixe - AND to everyone else who participated and interacted... umm nevermind trying to name everyone we'll just go with @Mhaldor here ...
p.s. That story at the end, Jurixe? waaah so good. Genuinely impressed with you right now! 8->
Now that the event is finally properly over, I can rave now!
All I wanted to do was celebrate Logosmas a little differently for Mhaldor this year, and I have all the following to thank for making it happen:
@Sartan: Thank you so much for being so supportive and making just about everything I wanted to happen happen - the tree, digging out the quartet, the artwork, surprise drinks, the ambience at the ball, Sylcine and Norbert attending - it was amazing, and it wouldn't have been the same without your help. Sorry if I bombarded your email :X Thank you for making it one to remember!
@My coordinators and speakers: Thank you all for making sure that events continued to run smoothly even though I couldn't be around for the majority of them! You took a load off me and all of the speakers gave really good short sermons. Some of you went above and beyond in getting people involved, and that's always great to see.
@Designers (artwork, food etc): Thank you for your creativity! Now you'll get to see your permanent handiwork as a part of Mhaldor!
@Council: Thank you to those of you who gave their support and encouragement to me, and got their Houses to participate. Participation is always the most difficult thing when it comes to events like these, and seeing a leader actively support it is great.
@Ball: Oh my god, too many. @Hasar and @Xer for the ridiculous dance/banter, @Alcinae for helping with so many bits and pieces, @Aepas for actually knowing how to dance a quadrille, @Heshran for being a great last minute server, @everyone who showed up and generally had fun. This was even more entertaining than the Gala was, for me, because it was just us and everyone could relax a bit more. It was really fun watching everyone just loosen up a bit and the atmosphere was amazing. I couldn't stop laughing at places and just had a big smile on my face the whole time. I hope it was as fun for everyone else as it was for me.
Running events is difficult, goodness knows I've had my share of complaints at people when I'm overworked, but this is what makes it all worth it in the end - people enjoying themselves. I hope you all had a great celebration, and merry Christmas to you!
(I made my raves short(er) this time! Be proud of my effort!)

"an exquisite golden necklace of burgundy wisteria"
Designed to cascade from neckline to decolletage, this necklace is exquisite in its detail. A wide arbor of fine gold herringbone links encircles the neck and connects at the back with a sturdy barrel clasp. Wisteria vines of finely braided silver and gold wire weave through the arbor, their gemstone blossoms cascading down in front. Set with a multitude of tiny green emeralds for leaves and deep burgundy garnets for the flower clusters, this necklace glitters and gleams in almost any light. Engraved on it are the words: To Wysteria with warm regards. May all of your days bring you joy. Secret Sylvan 643 A.F. It has 270 months of usefulness left. It weighs 4 ounce(s).
A huge thank you to whoever designed and gave me this. It's amazing.
"Faded away like the stars in the morning, Losing their light in the glorious sun, Thus would we pass from this earth and its toiling, Only remembered for what we have done."
@Skye. We should start slipping daggers into any presents we give to atavians for Logosmas, and inscribe them with a few things for fun.
Also raves to everyone who has been both ICly and OOCly supportive of Mel (and me) through a very difficult time. It's been extremely up and down, especially with the holidays so close. It is very literally the awesome people I interact with (directly or indirectly) who keep me around and logging in, period, at this point. Thank you, truly.
I'd also like to rave two certain people, who shall remain unnamed, who have been giving Melodie doubts about her sanity, lately. I haven't had the hairs on the back of my neck raised in quite a while, and it has been an interesting and very different turn of events for a morose, fallen priestess. Even if it was done out of boredom rather than trying to actually -do- anything, it's a wonderful distraction for me, and a complex, intricate issue for Mel. Very fun.
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

(though indeed @Jurixe)
Reflections Ball was awesome! Thanks to everyone who set it up! You all did a great job!
Thank you @zii for sponsoring me and letting me be able to go
Caoimhaen takes Sherazad's hand in his and places his other hand around your
waste.
Caoimhaen makes an attempt to dance with Sherazad not really going any
where.
p.s. That story at the end, Jurixe? waaah so good. Genuinely impressed with you right now! 8->
