Lord Elostian scared the hell out of me again but gave me the biggest smile ever

My rave: Jigan, who makes good sense and says nice things about me and sends me info on super nifty tea.



(isn't that a cute lil smiley?)

edit: and Refugee who says the funniest things!

The odd, seemingly random little things that people do, even if there's no particular point to them. It's what makes the IG world seem more alive and interesting to me.

The Harbingers are, once again, my rave. So many awesome people with little quirks and oddities and great senses of humor... it's a wonderful environment to play in, even if I'm upset with everything else in Lusternia.

First ever successfully performed play. Nifilhema's Tear. Summed up in one girlishly squealing word:

SQUEEEEEEEE

Being able to participate in the first official performance using the new stages. Thank you to everyone who attended, to all the cast, and especially to Lendren for writing, directing, arranging, and worrying over the whole bloody thing!
Oh, and Estarra and Charune giving truefavours to the cast? That's definitely a rave of its own.

What Amarysse said. Good job Lendren and the rest of the cast!

I am still oscillating between wanting to bounce around the room and passing out. That was so so so so fun! I loved being able to talk backstage about the play with the cast while the play was going on.

Now I'm wishing I had another script lined up because I want to produce more! Trouble is, that script took a veritable age to write... and I already have an idea for a "fiction" short story that wants to be written next. Maybe I can adapt that into a play instead.

Also, major raves for not being interrupted by a raid during the performance. Though we got close a few times (thanks, Daedalion!). I kind of wish I could have invited the realm as a whole (or at least non-enemies) to come see the play, but I figured letting the world know we were busy would be just begging for a ruin-your-fun raid. (But y'all can come to our stage and see the replay!)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I love Thoros's title! The Beast from the East. Every time I see it, it makes me giggle.

Thankfully there's racial regen in Taint, or ratting right now might be a tad too much on the irritating side.

Yay pot-stirring!

For the past members of the Blacktalon who have done so much to evolve one of the deepest, richest mythoi available - certainly in IRE games, and perhaps in the fantasy genre at large.

For the current members of the Blacktalon and the beginning stirrings of a new resurgence of activity and focus.

For the Blacktalon leadership, past and present. I can't say I've always agreed with everything all of them have ever done, but at least the leaders I've seen have shown a genuine concern for the identity of the Blacktalon and the people who make it up, which counts for a lot.

For the Blacktalon in general - a guild and an idea full of potential and people who want to reach that potential. I'm looking forward to it.

I all I can think of was an old goosebumps book called "The Beast from the East"

...same. I hate that I used to read those damn things. Every book was the same!!

I remember being excited as a "young adult" when I graduated from Goosebumps to Christopher Pike. They were so edgy for my poor teenage naivete. Fortunately, that's not a problem anymore. Especially after how many years with Estarra, Terentia and Morgfyre?

omg, I loved Goosebumps! But every book had a sad ending =(

...sad!?

Those books were weird, so was the show.

I think I only read them because people bought them for me. I remember reading Goosebumps at the same time as reading things like "The Tripods series" The Tripods were a lot better
