  Couldn't have done it without you and all your backstory, as traumatic as it may be!

  Evette and Tridemon were great and having them add to the experience was so appreciated.  Plus, bonus godmin who added extra flavour... you were great too!  So many good people making it feel more alive.

  Ps: Ilistala wants a log!

  I'm floored by how many people from all the different orgs were like "hey R U O K" when it was noticed they stopped talking. And that alone made me like. Ugh. It makes me happy seeing people caring about other people. Thank you for all you who had to endure reading the annoying scribbles for the last couple months. I can't express full my heart gets seeing how willing people are to dive into each other's roleplay. Make stories.... realsies!
  
  (Also, playing a suddenly mute character in a game that relies so heavily on speaking mechanics is torture. 7/10, only recommend if you have a tiny bit of self loathing.)

  It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’

  To be honest, because I had only seen Gurashi once or twice beforehand I didn't even know for sure if I'd not noticed he didn't speak and didn't want to bring it up and make myself look dumb. >.>

  It's my fault. There are a few people who had that same thought, you are not dumb...! So many new friends emerged RIGHT after Gurashi went mute, and honestly I only expected to be mute for like, a couple weeks IRL, tops. But oh no. No, no no.
  Me after about a month: 
   
  
  Good luck shutting me up now.

  Thank you Cheliyi, who I'm not even sure knows the forums exist, for being a sweet wholesome tree girl. Someone will adopt you eventually. Even if it means... all of us adopting you.

  @Viravain You're the best. You're just the best. Wonderful to see you like within twenty minutes of waking up in real life, lol. I won't let you down!! I also can't design while online, so.
  
  Off to hit the books!
  
  [EDIT]: What kind of book am I supposed to be making. ._. I'm just gonna go with a Compendium because that'll make sure it's Order-Only....

  Tears flow freely from your eyes as Viravain, Lady of the Thorns appoints you to Weaver of the Web.

  Thread by thread, the Web of your Lady weaves through your mind, and you know in your heart that it flows through you, too. You stand now as a Weaver -- a vessel of Her story.
  

  The ferocity of Her pleasure consumes you, igniting your very core. She whispers, only to you, "Weave My Webs well, My Aleyah," and a vision of the Shee-Slaugh Court wearing wreaths of black roses blossoms across your mind's eye.

  It's getting difficult to tell what's a tiny plot and what's a major plot, and I kind of like that.

  Duethielle and her wife are absolutely a major plot and I am here for them.

  Whee, my first-ever programming request to broadcast to the whole room when Afrit logs in. Thank you so much artifacts team, it's bootiful. ;_;

  Giant raves for everyone in the Havens who contributed to our huge bug party today! We defeated a terrifying 89 bugs across the non-code side of the game, and you can see the fruits of the spoils in Changelog 2188!

  I just want to rave at @Celest and specifically @Yinuish and @Neladahi for helping just jumpstart some things with the aftermath of the dragon attack on Celest. We had plans on doing things with it that got waylaid for a variety of reasons (personal stuff; work for other projects; the draining state of the world; etc.), but it is nice to do this slow, enjoyable bit of rebuilding a part of Celest. I am excited to see if and how others can contribute!

  Thank you for your patience in us attempting to find out who we should be bothering, as well! It's been wonderfully fun thus far.  
  
  Just wait until you see the powerpoint Lorina has done up though. :P

  It's been very exciting and given me a some stuff to latch onto in the low lull of Celest that sometimes occurs! We're just glad that you were willing to hear us out! Big <3s for those working on Celest.

  Raves to @Gurashi -- we haven't RP'd a ton, but it's always been on-point. Don't let frustrating things get you down! Let your story unfold without regrets!

  Instead of grumping about bad things, am going to rave about something am so happy about ever since I discovered it: being able to recognize people. I reaaaallly appreciate this, regardless of people feel the same about mine or not, just being able to give them this little recognition for giving lovely RP and having consistent characters with conceivable depth.

  Other than @Aeldra I'm not sure who all to tag but raves to Lantra's order for the design drive they're holding in New Celest. I've been in a design slump lately and this has been just the nudge I needed to get back on the horse!

  Maylea has utterly blessed us with new demigod enters/exits and choice look messages for the order. They're all so *perfect*, and I changed all of mine immediately!

  Thank you, @Viravain for an absolutly thrilling week.
  
  It has been an incredible ride since the climax of Gurashi's storyline, being witness to all the little bits that I've been allowed to perceive brought me no end of excitement.
  ♥ I am filled with delightful anticipation over the possibilities of what has been set in motion today.
  
  A special note for everyone in the Auguries & Her Divine Order being absolute gems; each and everyone one of you.

  To @Nepenthe @Coraline @Sotsepmet @Eritheyl @Chundae @Khnemu - I am continually delighted and thankful to have you lovely people (and more I haven't mentioned!) putting up with my antics. I hope that sometimes we, as administrators, are able to make your day or get a giggle now and then, but please let it be known officially that you often absolutely make our days as well.

  And we're super thankful to have you as well! It's been so much fun hanging out with you and the order NPCs and the wonderful people in the Order, and getting into shenanigans with everyone. I still giggle when I remember the broken machine event two days ago.

  You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.

  I don't usually get involved in "events" so it's been a really fun change of pace, and having Tantus personally ask for Nep's mechanical expertise was really nice. ;_; I had a blast romping around with Tikki and Khnemu and hitting on the idea of crystaltech and sugar and I hope I didn't hijack things too much with my shenanigans.

  I want to double rave today for first @Lantra for lovely order RP and then secondly for all of Celests Pantheon and players for everything revolving the non-merian quarters. I am enjoying every bit of it and it is just so a very lovely and immersive idea

  I've had so much fun with the @Crumkane order storyline that's currently going on with the broken machine! And @Chundae was so good about me calling them over to look at the broken machine and then going in to it to take a look!

  
  

  And @Coraline and myself wandering around trying to find a place for a bake sale (even if we did go a different direction with it)!

  
  

  Can't wait to see logs from other people on what they've seen from this!
