Many thanks to @Aruokei, @Lief, @Elexia, @Zitto, @Tyrus, @Xiran, and @Nialla for helping me to test some things out for possible future game nights! I really appreciate the patience and time, and hope that (even though some of the games were not quite working!) you had a bit of fun too!
You have been recognised by Elexia for: She is such an incredible writer, and I adore the friendship between Faythe and Elexia. Faythe's emotes are well-written and creative, and in this scene in particular she has done such wonderful emotes using the Moondancer fae! It's always inspiring and so very much fun.
You have been recognised by Lief for: There is a LOT to recognize you over. We've had so many great scenes - so much tension and warmth and friendship and confusion between our two characters, and I love every moment of it. Not to mention the cult - I am so glad you could make it, and Faythe's role in its creation was beautiful. It wouldn't have been the same event without Faythe's presence there. Thank you!!
Thank you for some comfort that Aleyah muchly needed. Cheerful and hopeful suits her so much better than fog and gloom.
(And the promise of some answers from @Gurashi helps too)
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 is physically impossible for me to post everyone's name here because I still need to go through the logs but, as a thank you to everyone who came and participated - thank you so very much for coming to Game Night. Thank you for your patience, and your participation in what was supposed to be a tiny event - a favor for a friend who wanted to get to know her future in-laws and the city in general, which exploded into a wonderful chance for culture and interacting with people I do not get to rp with on a daily basis.
To those of you that could not attend for various reasons - I really hope that we can make this an official thing! I will be reaching out to see if we can possibly tour everyone's homes, and then host semi-regularly in neutral areas! I will do my best to keep it fun and interesting for as long as we want this thing to go!
Really, really, thank you so much! I am so excited for the next one and the opportunities that will await us all!

@Faythe and everyone who played with us!! It was so much fun, and I can't wait to finish the tour in as many places as will let us!!
@Maylea and ALL of her wonderful RP and touches with her Order and Serenwilde. All of the thoughtfulness you put into every interaction is amazing, as is the way you follow all of our stories.
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."

I'm being told that some people are catching OOC flack for not inviting people to game night, which is really frustrating. I want to put out there that although Faythe ran the event, it was was hosted in Hallifax by Zitto, who had effective control of the guest list. Initially, that list read: "Maylea's Order, Myeras Family, Citizens of Hallifax" and that was the end of the list. Anyone else walked into the party on their own initiative, which is not to say there were by any means unwelcome, but their presence should not be taken as some kind of snub of groups that were not represented. Please, and I cannot emphasize this enough, do not give anyone but me, IC or OOC, grief about invitations to the party.
The entire order, too! Elexia, Faythe, Tyrus, Zitto, Naevari, Nialla, Taemira, LENDREN (I got to rp with the legendary Lendren!) and everybody else! Mayflowers bestflowers.

I was going to come pretty much say the same thing, but Lief has already beat me to it. Seriously, every single one of you are absolutely amazing. I've gotten more enjoyment out of this one week than I have in years of playing IRE games off an on. So much

@Viravain Thank you for everything, all the time, constantly, the journey forth in Your Order has been an emotional ordeal and I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me next.

Belated, but Gurashi and I both really needed that little hangout with @Caohite and @Orventa and @Cheliyi the other night. Thank you.
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. 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.’
I have lots of people to thank for roleplay moments since coming back, including @Aramel for the immediate welcome and the ever-lovely @Galaphyrae.
Edit: Important to include @Lief and @Jolanthe for giving Xiran purpose while she's guildless. @Llani and @Mboagn for cheerful exchanges. @Lysandus for always saying Boo in hello.
Specifically for today though: @Nialla for watching the sunrise, @Sondayga for preparing for {plans}, and both of them again in timequake with silly @Malarious. Props to the builders of the Twilight Pagoda of Gloriana Forest.
And, last but not least, for a moment by the forest pools with @Elexia. Beautiful and stunning and I could hardly keep up.
I really, really, really, just want to take a moment to express here, how thankful I am for each and every one of you. EVERY ONE OF YOU, that plays this game with me.
We haven't interacted yet, some of us, but we may someday, and I can just feel it is going to be AMAZING.
If I have forgotten anyone in this, please forgive me, it is 2 AM.
SUCH AN AMAZING DAY, THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Thank you, @Sutekh , for being good company and for showing Cory how to feed the starving beggars in Magnagora! It's super interesting and fun to see a glimpse of the life of other player's characters, and their goals and personalities!
You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.
Whelp after an extremely rough introduction to the Sowers thanks to an absolutely brutal vision was absolutely *too* perfect with regards to Tae's backstory, I have to thank @Elexia and @Lief for being awesome as always. Also massive thank you to @Maylea for the unexpected interaction that came afterwards.
Seriously though, that was a brutal. That sort of visceral gut punch is stuff I had to work to setup for my larp players... and here I get sideswiped by a bloody rng message. Can't applaud enough for that. XD
After a long time away, on a whim I decided to peek out into the world and have been positively gobsmacked by the awesome RP and the fantastic community I stumbled into. Too many people to call out, but some notable ones include @Kali (Llani), @Lief, @Nialla, @Faythe, @Maylea (!!!), @Jolanthe, @Coraline, @Tyrus, @Xiran, @Elexia, @Taemira, and @Barrin, plus the people I'm going to kick myself after I post this for not listing. I'm just loving to bits what's going on in the Serenwilde, the Sowers, and especially in the Mayflowers. Lendren got knocked for a loop by not one but two heartbreaking visions, one of the past and one of a possible future, and a heartwarming discussion with @Maylea following hard upon them that filled her with warmth and a sense of possibilities; and I've had so many opportunities to express and explore character traits and mannerisms, some old ones and some new, as a result. Particularly struck by how good people I've RPed with are at the balancing act of conveying themselves and making fertile ground for others to convey themselves too.
So I've got a lot of people to thank. @Lief, @Faythe, Sparrow Longfellow (@Maylea, was that you!? -- whoever it was, you did a great job of guiding that scene, really loved the characterization and the whole interaction) and really all of the Mayflowers -- no matter how little or much we've interacted, you're all excellent and add so much to the order: @Elexia (gotta get to that RP we were setting up in tells), @Zitto, @Taemira, @Nialla, @Lotheryn and @Lendren, who I'm so excited to see playing! Thank you all, and thank you to anyone else I might have forgotten as well!
Also giving thanks for getting to witness funny and touching moments. Sincere thanks to @Barrin (your advice was timely for Xiran too), @Lendren, @Lysandus, and @Llani.
I'd like to thank everyone who came to the wedding and helped make it the most fun Lusternia experience I've ever had. Huge shoutouts to @Maylea, @Gurashi, and @Faythe for their parts in the ceremony and reception, to @Mysrai for bringing Aschwar out, @Nocht and @Raezon for their personal (spooky) contributions to the event for Zitto and Lief, and course everyone who attended!
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."
Me every time I am #blessed by an interaction with Nocht:

Just want to say thank you so much for the Tytone chat. It was awesome and totally unexpected. I also totally didn't see him say he had no need of his gift, nope. But also a little mad at myself that I don't log stuff. (It bogs my potato computer down too much running all the time) but when it happens I get so caught up and forget but love all the same, thank you!
@Terentia and the Patrons of New Celest (because sometimes it's hard to tell who's doing it) - I can't put into accurate words how excited I've been to help with the events surrounding the removal of the dragon. You've made Celest feel alive and full of interest and have given Nels things to do in-between squids (praise the Light!) and stuff. I'm so glad you Celest had you return to it, because you've just been a straight up delight.
@Lantra is also a delight, and I really enjoyed meeting the Princess the other day and getting to see one of your NPCs! I'm slow to advance, but you've been such a great beacon to look up to from a babyHealer perspective in Nels. Many emojis to you.
@Togna - you are a laugh-riot and I've really enjoyed the chances we've had to RP, and the snippets of RP I've had shown to me that you engage in when Nels isn't around.
An unexpected day full of RP yesterday. I don't know if people want to remain private so I will just say thank you, you know you are great! Sorry I was sleep-deprived and my own roleplaying took a hit after the start of the weave.
@Lantra for answering questions last night, especially since they were out of the blue and fairly hard!
@Aeldra and @Faragan - thank you for reaching out about advancement!
Celest's RPers have been wonderful and I'm so glad that the Pantheon and active players are so willing to engage when we're online, even if there aren't many of us.

Also big apologies to @Esei for forcing you to be spooky right outside the realm instead of being spooky in the realm.
And thanks to @Lief for, you know, marrying Zitto!
