I'm really loving the Kalas Family Nonsense, and just the vibe of Magnagora in general lately. We may be branded as the City of Evil, but it's been a very welcoming organization thusfar and I'm hoping it stays that way.
Thank you @Elexia for being wonderfully sweet and facilitating another Gurashi/Duet meeting. Also, @Jolanthe and @Llani were unexpected drop-ins, but not unwelcome! Jo's comments about spirits were ... enlightening. Anyway thank you for that lovely little experience!!

You beat me to it @Orventa! Thank you for the wonderful encounter! I am already getting better at using this diamond!! (Also @Xenthos and Ilistala are always welcome additions to any party )

@Thax You were amazing at timing that RP earlier when I died in the Kepheran Hives! I haven't stopped thinking about that since and its made me bubble at the thought of new RP

Let it be known that when somebody is killed, Thax will be right there to ask WTF they're going to do about it.
Well, where does one start for the wonderful Gala that occurred today?
All of the admin for SURE. All the different NPCs showing up from the different organizations - Filib Shee-Slaugh was an ESPECIALLY adorable addition from Glomdoring! To the ones who performed the wrestling, it was *chefskiss* disgusting! To the musician, my hat goes off! Every NPC present was really special. And Sergio and the waiters and the gossip and yes! All! So good!

It was a lot of fun to get to hang out with Filib pre-party and do all the planning. I really appreciate the random interaction where the purpose was just to enrich the gameplay for us (and I hope the admin involved had fun too!).
To all the Admin, ephemerals, mortal builders and whoever else had a hand in the Gala and the events surrounding it -- thank you. It's easy to see that an incredible amount of work went into absolutely everything (and I imagine you all had a field day with the Vengeance of Bobses -- hilarious). Truly, everything was delightful and looked like it went off smoothly from the audience side!
Thank you also to whoever interacted with Rancoura during the events -- whether good or bad interactions, I enjoyed all of them.
Extra love for Filib for being both adorable and amenable, and for keeping our gifts as part of his description afterwards!
Thank you also to Glomdoring for Vernal Demihood. I'm honoured. So many raves today.
Tonight amidst the mountaintops And endless starless night Singing how the wind was lost Before an earthly flight
Double-post because this one deserves a rave all of its own. Just before the Gala, I received the prize (sent by Fabio via Trader Bob) from the costume contest during last year's Ascension -- and by the Divine, whoever created this went above and beyond. I was speechless and completely ecstatic when it was gifted to me, and I cannot believe how accurate and incredibly detailed this piece is, and that it's so custom tailored. Thank you.

a shadow-laden ensemble of the haruspex
Born of the darkest hour of the night, the ensemble flows about the wearer like night-time fog clinging possessively to the body. The entire front is black lace gleaming like a crow's wing, its pattern not the cloying flora of so many gowns but ritualistic imagery that bespeaks horror. Creeping up the front is applique of thorny vines, picked out in black spidersilk thread, which preserves modesty but remains a daring and sensual choice. Sewn into the lace covering the chest is a necklace of sharp-edged stygian crystals, the echo of evanescing shadowfire reflected in each. Room has been left in the back for wings but the openings are anything if not macabre for the entire back has been stitched to mimic the rib cage. Stretching the entire back, a line of ruched chiffon follows the spine from the high collar to the small of the back, while ribs of matching fabric grip the sides of the dress horizontally. The sleeves brush just past the wrists where they suddenly narrow to provide a voluminous and ethereal silhouette on top, while the waist is gathered by an overabundance of dusk-grey ribbons, dainty blackened chains, and shadowhawk feathers glinting with faint lines of silver. Beneath that, the skirts spill to the floor in layers of chiffon and tulle laid over black silk, each wisp of fabric a breath of pale mist in the depths of the night. Coils of steam escape the ensemble every so often, slithering up the forearms like the last breath of entrails freshly cast in ritual. It weighs about 1 pounds and 14 ounce(s). It bears the distinctive mark of Lady Haruspex Rancoura So'hthae, Ole'noc Caihel. It has the following aliases: ensemble.

similarly a huge rave for the gala. I need to properly explore everything now that it has quieted down. I sadly always have the trouble that with that many people around, my focus is really bad. I loved the wrestling, the gala, everything. The announcer needs a good whack on the head for next year, but the jumbled up announces had their own set of hilarity.
All in all it's always very exciting for when the gala comes up and am always glad if I can make it for a part of its time
I missed most of the organised stuff, arriving literally for the beginning of vengeance which makes me sad because I missed most of the rp but have to say, the gala area and all the bits and pieces is just amazing. Ember had me cackling with some of those lines, and the taxidermies were pretty hilarious, and the gift bag with the poster and confetti were just awesome fun. Love it!
Also a separate rave for @Zau, sometimes it's the little moments but she's been great fun to interact with and somehow manage to get attacked by a noble in the presidio...fun times.
I was tickled to see that two of the dishes were my design. The quiche platter and the almond icecream. The Vengeance game was a blast, even if we lost, and Loops got to be a little sentimental thanks to @afrit and @Nepenthes showing Fable off.
I was also delighted to see my peach brownie icecream being distributed by the waiters! It was fun being kicked out for distributing peep chili and having to throw them all away to be let back in, Fable was awesome, the gossips were addicting and not at all easy on the wallet.
I'm sad I couldn't stay for Vengeance! It sounded like it was a ton of fun. I have yet to meet Aucagolei but I plan to soon!
You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.
Super raves for last night, I was happy to see the goodie bags table become a thing after putting an idea for it! (or maybe it was already a thing aha but it's still great!) Raves for all who played the guests of honour esp. Nelebrin, and Jezebel. I was trying to figure out if Jezebel was dancing Travolta style or the Hopack or something else but it was still funny

Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."
Belated rave but thank you for all of the organizers who made the Gala as fabulous as it was, my date who looked absolutely fabulous in a dazzling gown of freshly-fallen snow and whose patience allowed me to enjoy most of the event, even though I had to be mindless for large parts of it. Also rave for the dances and fun which was had throughout. Fable was amazing, the tables full of hidden food and waiters with champagne were great, the Ember was hilarious though eventually a little repetitive and the description of some of the rooms were superb, especially the ballroom.
Big raves to my daughter for making me this Lego cake for winning ascension
Where do I begin. There is absolutely no way to name everyone who helped, because I couldn't have done this without all of you. The two plus hours we spent on Astral were the roughest two hours I've ever spent in Lusternia. The opposing team had us all over the place, and I dare say were better set-up than we were.
Super raves for Aramel and her coding, Ciaran/Snald/Xenthos/Kaizynne/Aknarin/Tarken for their advice on setup as well as equipment, Evette saved my life so many damn times I'm naming a child after her, people who loaned me items, people who showed up, people who didn't give up, and people who wanted to be there but couldn't.
Special raves for Terentia, Ixion (best frenemy), everyone on our discord voice chat who put up with me yelling as well as trying to keep my kids quiet.
Her voice firm and commanding, Terentia, the Even Bladed says to you, "You have kept your oath to Me, Parhelion. You have sworn to maintain Justice in these troubled times."
Yet if a boon be granted me, unworthy as I am, let it be for a steady hand with a clear eye and a fury most inflaming.
If only we could all be so lucky to receive such an amazing and illustrious prize as a Lego cake.
It's strawberry, green apple, raspberry, and cherry. So good.

Beloved props to my outfit coordinate-date @Tridemon
@Aknarin, @Esei, @Gabe, @Shulamit, @Tridemon, @Xenthos (for Ilistala), @Elexia, @Orventa, @Snald (for Crocuta) and finally @Rancoura! My many many dance partners! My leggies have fallen off!
