Cottington Woods
Went to the Cottington Woods one-day this weekend. Some scheduling snafus (they started 2 hours late on a 11 hour event which I can't imagine did good things to their schedule) and some stuff that wasn't awesome, but overall I had a good time.
Some highlights:
- standing carefully outside the fairy circle to toss our gifts to the fae onto the tree
- "We're going to go hunt a salamander."
"Um..." :makes gesture with hands a few inches apart: "Why?"
"It's a giant firebreathing salamander. Not quite as exciting as a dragon, but it should be challenging."
"Oh, wow! I'm in!"
- playing with the hoops and sticks
- having not one, but two different fae try to recruit me to join their show
- having Shal totally throw me under the bus by speculating the different ways I'd make a fantastic addition to the fairy show.
- Helping Vasanti hide from her fairy stalker (and the fact that she was successful in that)
- seeing Gregori
- talking to the white stag
- talking to the Riding Hoods
- watching a lot of my friends be super super stressed while trying to damage control Gene talking to, um... anyone
- rescuing a guy who'd been asleep for a long time... poor dude (even if his name gave Trev, Fen, and Vasanti a start)
- making a couple of really good shots in the dark at the undead archer. Am slowly getting better at this...
On Sunday I was braindead for most of the day. Ended up taking a nap in the afternoon, and *still* couldn't wake up after that. Today am less braindead, but my arms are both sore (left from holding up the bow to fight, right from chucking arrows).
