Madrigal
So, I came into this Madrigal event with no floon, thinking it would be my last event as a PC. But the event reminded me of all the things I really like about PCing Madrigal, and I was busier and more involved than I have been in the past, so yay! It also drove home to me that Vaedra is really not a good fit for the game, and I need to do some thinking about whether there are ways to make her a better fit without compromising character integrity. And it was not the best event for combat that I've had at Madrigal. But overall, I think I'll definitely keep giving PCing a chance... though the lure of going back to NPCing (and thus not having to pay $80, or having it be a big deal if I miss an event) is strong.
Highlights:
Ridiculously adorable couples all around!
Fancy tea party of Incredibly Well Dressed People through the gate. In which I was really nervous, because that was only, like, my second or third schmooze party ever as a PC, believe it or not, and I felt like everyone would expect me to be this schmoozing badass when OH GOD I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
Watching a BMV Frenzy bounce off the collective disdain of like a dozen Highborn.
As a Paragon of Cynical Pragmatism, I cannot stand by and allow people to do stupid things that will destroy the world.
The thought "Wow, the Inquisition has the best meetings! I wish I could hang out with them more!" ACTUALLY ENTERED MY HEAD before getting crossed out by my internal editor.
Mmmm, Naporean political scheming. Vaedra's happy place. Striving to walk the line between making sure the people who won't be appalled know what I'm talking about while not scaring off the faint of heart.
Stephen is sitting next to me looking at me expectantly -- okay, I know I'm supposed to be talking to him about something sketchy, but OH GOD WHAT GAME IS THIS?!?! MADRIGAL! RIGHT!!! Okay, now I know who you are. Plan A is not actually relevant to this situation, you say? OKAY! Let me pull Plan B out of my @$$!
Things sound waaayyyy dirtier when you say them with a Naporean accent. This is very handy for embarrassing people.
Paralyze by Wayfare... Hey, this fun mechanic is suddenly way more deadly when you're bleeding out, huh?
Looking forward to next event!
