When went to do the heart with Regig the second time and the audience supported me being left hanging would be funnier. Ash did a great job of acting completely disinterested and somewhat annoyed with the proceedings (especially when was one of the candidates) (Ash is one of the main writers for this plot and one who’s been doing the most work behind the scenes for it).

I gotta say getting assassinated with a brick was pretty cool. Boy I sure do hope that was because of the paper and not just some GA stooge after me for being a cross realm merchant. How else do you know that you made it as a journalist?
Slicing through the neck? Of the cheese dragon with the Heart of Fire was fun, as was crouching behind Zevvi as I dragged then to safety. Got to dance around a lot of packets during that.
Meeting the scapesmith and learning about vigor politics. Glad to see there are beings in vigor that agree it needs to evolve.
Feeling very called out my one of my romance mod questions and then realizing I agreed to a date with someone Yorick owes leaf to.
Learning how fun parry is against the golden acorn.

Mentioning Talus getting whooped in Zantia to his face not knowing he was Talus.
The slight chuckle Talus gave out when realizing that we were feeding him multiple weaken spirit’s.

“Do you want it to be?”

Friday night battle with the void creatures felt really well coordinated amongst the Oak Harbor fighters
Singing to the baby Anglerfish and having it say inappropriate things with Snaer.
Wysteria story hour! It’s definitely happening somewhere at some time!
Dealing with two different assassins coming for me in the span of 2 hours and none succeeding. Many thanks to all who gave me a heads up a “person in a blue tunic” was asking around for me.

Bald-faced lying to a Spencer NPC who was only trying to help me, having him explain in detail multiple times that he only wanted to help me and could do that better if I told him the truth, and sticking to my story.
Though the verifiable facts involved were all true!
Date selection
The unrelated date I went on at 2am
The number of Felicitoro NPCs who have arrived for the conclave who genuinely believe that Zevvi is one of the reasonable ones in Oak Harbor
On an OOG level: Staff’s confusion about the BGS cup game I and some other players did. Look; if you all can’t figure out what’s going on until we explain it to you, what odds are there of an NPC who oracles us being able to figure it out? I think we did well

Oh and of course
Vai: ”Fire!”
people continue talking
Vai: “Fire!”
people look around a bit but continue talking
Vai, getting in Anatoly’s face: “Fire, I need to talk to you.”
Zevvi: “Ok, no. You can’t do that. That can’t be what you call him.”
Vai: “Why not?”
Zevvi: “You don’t see the problem with just shouting ‘fire, fire!‘?“
Anatoly: “Yeah…”
Vai: “…oh. Yes; I see. I’ll think of something else.”

Steve playing charades during the Dating Game mod was great. I loved the collected yells as they mimed “autodefenestration”
“Oh shit, that’s Lava Lad outside - we need to get rid of this lava pit fast.”
Dino shenanigans.
“See, this is why she’s the Sei” said every single time I insisted an insanely minute adjustment be made to how the art was displayed.
Captain Sweeney’s shanty during the boat fight - or at least what you all got to hear of it. There were so many more verses, guys, you don’t even know.

The ritual to summon the Void Mime - I finally got to do a creepy ritual in the dark of the night! My dreams! My aspirations!
Attempting to read a death question answer for Snaer in the presence of his Anglerfish, who also read the answer to a death question.
Wisteria’s Story Hour! Don’t miss it! It’s happening at a time! And a place!
The speed with which Pork Chop was detained during the Dino Mod to keep him out of danger. Chilling with the Mad Lads on a bench while they talked casually to a pig.
Requestiong a cigarette from Gheist as Eleanora’s MIL.
Everything to do with the Dating Game, holy shit. Good choice combos all around, excellent answers from everyone, and a most satisfying chorus of “Defenestration!” followed by a more satisfying but smaller chorus of “Autodefenestration!”
Tobias’ song about Orfeo is fucking incredible, someone hire that man immediately.
Going out on a mod with the goal of “Get Yorick’s attention so he sees THIS THING”, then Yorick somehow begins fighting me with his back TO THE THING so I end up strafing him in a massive wide arc until we’ve fully turned around.
Dinner with the Hurzichts as “Laurens”, getting to use a ridiculous Russian accent for a character finally, and basically the entire conversation/interaction that went down here.
NIGHTMARE THAT TALKS. God I love convincing ya’ll to do things that you know you shouldn’t be doing. Bob and Robert the Nightmares, dynamic duo.
Almost getting assassinated as Banjo! Connor accepted the role of Bobby Two-Knives from me literally minutes before that mod had to happen and they crushed it. Got to have some dope interrogations with the Lads and Roderago, and Banjo even got to shed blood for the first time!
Watching Kellis almost kill two beloved pets was chefs kiss.

And I wouldn’t have seen it either if it weren’t for Zevvi being loud enough. I was focused on minion in front of me and Jasper was around to help.

Another long list of favorite moments from this gather 
Every person’s reaction to The HedgeBox. Especially Vennick nearly spitting out his drink upon seeing just how many hedgehogs were inside the box.
The sincere concern from most people confronting me about the Missing Child posters, juxtaposed against the people who just jokingly tried to kidnap me (Kellis, Roderago, etc.). Although I think my favorite interaction was with Zevvi and Amos, saying something along the lines of
Zevvi: “I have an idea. We could just ‘kidnap’ you, return you to get the 50 leaf, and then just take you back.”
Me: “yeah, many people have suggested that.”
Amos: “Oh I had a different idea. What if we find a child around here, take them, dress them up to look like the person in this picture, and then send them to your tribe and collect the 50 leaf!”
Zevvi: “Did you just… Did the Constable of Oak Harbor just suggest Child Trafficking?”
Amos: “No, if it’s an orphan it’s just, … adopting out! That’s not a crime.”
Getting to feel like I was dodging laser wires like a cool spy in the Cave expedition, getting to utilize my special skill of speed untangling rope with Eleanora, and then narrowly escaping the Rocks Fall Everyone Dies part of the mod with seconds to spare.
The entire dating mod was hilarious; the pointed questions (Especially Yorick’s and Eleanora’s questions); but especially the “What is your favorite word?” question becoming a game of charades with people shouting “DEFENESTRATION!” and the back row, more quietly, “Actually, that would be auto-defenestration.”
Being a Dino in the Dino mod, and pointedly making eye contact with people, them going “don’t you do it…” and me stomping a foot down into the flowers without breaking eye contact.
Getting chided and chewed out by Velikah for chasing after a necromancer alone in the woods, because “It’s dangerous!” despite the fact that Velikah takes equally dangerous risks often enough to give Jasper white hairs. It was very endearing and a cute character bonding moment.
The Golden Acorn confrontation was a blast start to finish for me. Kicked off with a great interaction of scouting alone behind the initial party of PC victims, and some “wind” trying to navigate out of the woods just up from the tavern in the pitch black asks to borrow my lantern light. I pause, let the “wind” safely clear onto the trail and begin heading to their destination farther up, when the final member of their group becomes in game, stops in their tracks, turns to look at me and then turns back to call up to the group: “ Hey, wait a minute… don’t we need this one?” The others turn, register that I am in fact the fourth member of their hit list, and begin throwing poisons and advancing at me, so I turn tail and sprint full speed back down the trail. Apologies to the large backup group who watched in promised silence as I appeared and skidded to a halt in front of them, turned around, said absolutely nothing, then sprinted back off into the darkness with basically no context.
I also had a baller time shooting Talus in the back, and then getting to stomp on him as I promised I would do (via picture letter) like, 4 gathers ago. Also loved standing next to the alchemists after they had just poured like, 4 Weaken Spirits down his throat going “Is that enough, you think?” “one more for good measure?” “Yeah one more, why not.” and hearing (dead) Talus sigh upon receiving yet another Weaken Spirit elixir tag to his pile.
Bonus was Mo convincing the last GA member who was fighting us to abandon GA and join us for a drink at the tavern, his treat, and it work. Only for us to get like, halfway down the hill to the tavern, and in the middle of jovial conversation, Mo just Subdues him mid-walk, he crumples to the ground, and Mo just leaves him there and keeps walking with perfect nonchalance.
Oh the mystic chant swap ups at the late night Grave Rave. Yorick swapping the “in the name of Vigor” part to “in the name of Snack Time” and the perfectly timed silence when Vai shouted “this blood is mine, B****” at whatever undead they were trying to turn. Plus the cacophony of chanting that was the epic Mystic Death Ball that exploded the final skeleton.
Also thank you Kellis for just fully embracing the Fáelán’s Dad rumor to pull a “I’m you father and I said so” line on me XD
Getting to be the Ballista-loading skeleton on Sweeny’s crew, 10/10, would do again.
