I’ll start us off.
The dating game required a lot of behind the scenes edits and changes as stuff got moved around on the schedule and staffer availability changed. We had George come over and be like what NPCs do you still need for this and we gave the concept of “Lothlan looking for enemies with benefits” and George just sprinted off to staff center and back to return with that outfit. The assignment was clearly understood.
Steve during the escaped-dinos plot: “I don’t understand how this could have happened. We spared very little expense!”
Morpho comes up to Amos at lunch:
“So Amos, would you like to explain -”
Amos: “I’m sorry I didn’t pick you for a date with Wilbur. I mean, 'I enjoy drinking a little blood now and then ', could be Morpho, could be some kind of monster.”
Morpho:.“No, not that. Your face, Amos. What the heck happened to your face?”
“Well, well, well…what do we got here?”
Stabby North Shore Man
Dolan and an NPC swimming past each other during the last battle, “You swim to my boat, I’ll swim to your boat!”
Marrok walks into the Tavern, and sees Kellis in the dish room;
Kellis: I heard a rumor you’re Faelan’s dad.
Marrok: I heard a rumor you’re Faelan’s dad.
Kellis: congratulations!
Marrok: congratulations!
Also, separately, getting back to staff center after being out as Marrok and realizing I misspelled my own name when asked by a PC. That was amusing and embarrassing.
Gambling peacefully and seeing the utter blur that was Talisien speed by while Gheist and several others chased him down yelling with weapons. “that’s… that’s a lesson right…?”
It was an amazing time in the woods with all of you lovely people.
Some highlights- the ritual to clear a void pool where we all discussed how much of a hero Vennick was in the Treasure fight and Lee sang a song about Kellis.
The Harbormaster’s Office mod with Connor as Morgan at the front desk was a lot of fun RP with Kellis and Morgan absolutely cussing each other out.
Roderago showing a good thesis defense requires a good thesis offense. I love every time there is a Velliar thesis defense.
The utter explosion of violence when Xalis made the move to try to escape. It was a spring under tension popping as Xalis went for the BMV root and George started running. A bunch of resists and an absolute swarm of swings and packets. It felt good.
Lastly, the Mirage Circus ritual was low key terrifying if we got it wrong, but the mix of choreography, light, and sound was just fun. It hit the right notes.
“My name’s not Bob, it’s actually-”
Subdue
…
“Bob!! You’re back!”
“I don’t know who you’re talking about, I am a totally different nightmare, but that Bob sounds like a cool dude”
“Ah. Nice to meet you, Robert the nightmare.”
Spencer, as a nightmare: “{Name], if you don’t have the courage of your convictions, Death.”
Everyone in their turn: “No Effect.”
1: Everyone having such good vibes defending our baby troll and his right to exist. Faelan eating a death amd gettimg brought back, amd them on the other end of the serious spectrum wilbur tossing another gray mouse in the bastinet not knowing that the components will alter its temperment… and we accidently gave him 3 gray mice already. Also the entire performance staff was putting on
2: Vi finding the death powder in an unexpected place
3: alone in the woods my grip slips and the stroller sarts rolling down the hill like a cartoon
4: hilarious date game shenanigans, guess im dating a pirahna plant next gather…
5: being all alone with vennic when we finished the mycordia puzzle and suddenly the boss chamber lighting comes on and dyscordia starts rolling to intimidate. Our only weapon was a notebook or a guitar neither of which were gonna be larp safe.
Also, being a baby Anglerfish is always a joy I look forward to!
Quercus is musing with Nem and Vandriel about paragon druid things.
Nem: You have one time of power, yes. But what about second time of power?
Quercus: “… My tree’s time of power is literally elevensies.”
Taking down the three anglerfish outside the tavern, Kellis lands a killing blow on the center anglerfish just as Snaer comes around the corner-
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY???”
Kellis- “Uhhhhh, I am SO Sorry”
Well, then go GET THE PROPRIETAH!
Me: Please stand on on the other side of the table sir.
Kellis: Come on Morgan, it’s me.
Me: Stand on the other side of the table asshole.
Kellis: That’s more like it.
Also getting to talk real life things with Joy, Brian, and Mark was really nice and I appreciate you all so much
