Breakdown, yes... well that was Saturday. Poor ickle Saph couldn't take much more. but I'm getting ahead of myself...
OOC it was a cold event for which I was stupidly ill-prepared. After 8 years you'd think I would get the hang of this by now: the May events are NOT always reliable as being out-doors weather. Especially not in lightweight costume. Also one pair of trousers really isn't enough for 4 days of mud.
IC it was an awesome event. So much roleplaying, so much angst, so much awesome high. Sapphire's "what I did" report very nearly had to run to a second page, and would have possibly if I'd done anything at all about the last day of the event.
I did my first ritual and it kicked all kinds of ass. Very sad and somber, mostly about dead bards, particularly Scathan. I got an 8 and some really rather nice shinyness for the windchimes that hang in the guild. Couldn't have done it without my awesome ritual team though, so thank you to everyone who helped!
Did lots of rites to various gemstones of Lantia, with the Guardian of Knowledge (looking very Scathan-shaped) in the middle of most of them (but not the last one to the island we were on, which was all kinds of awesome in it's own way.)
There's a lot more detail I could go into, but talk to me about it if you want to know. In the mean time, it looks like ickle Saph (who had a birthday party and is now officially 11) is finally getting noticed after a year of being obvious and everyone else being oblivious. I think she's starting to grow up a little too.
