A heavy mist gathers in front of you, quickly solidifying into the form of Baerdolas.

 

Helyanwe just found a delicate dragon pendant hung on a thin silver chain in a crate filled with gifts!

 

A luminous cloud descends from the sky, spreading a warm, golden glow over everything around you.  As the cloud hovers just at arm's reach, the light from within it begins to pulsate, and you see a form taking shape in its midst.  Soon the vaporous haze has dissipated, and Serenay is standing at your side.

 

Ceosanna says, "Go ahead and snag a gift, if you want one, get all your classes started, and whatnot."

 

The air wavers in front of you, everything beyond it shimmering like things seen under water, while colors ripple across the surface of the air, spinning and transforming themselves slowly into the form of Adera.

 

 

Baerdolas says, "They keep some of us locked up in the back just for this occassion."

 

Ceosanna says, "If you don't know them already, let me introduce my cohorts."

Ceosanna exclaims, "Serenay!"

Ceosanna motions to Serenay.

 

(applause)

 

Ceosanna exclaims, "Baerdolas!"

Ceosanna motions to Baerdolas.

 

(applause)

 

 

Ceosanna exclaims, "And Adera!"

Ceosanna motions to Adera.

 

(applause)

 

 

 

Emmiline just arrived.

 

 

 

You see Emmiline, a Human Empath.

She has green eyes.  Her golden hair is long and fine, and is worn loosely piled atop her head.  She has smooth skin.

She is middle-aged for a Human.

She is in good shape.

 

She is wearing a woven sack, some orange ankle boots with tiny maple leaf-shaped charms, some stockings the color of rich cream, a long A-line skirt made from linen hued in a muted orange spice, a delicate cream-colored blouse, a fashionably cut linen jacket hued in a muted orange spice, a gold brooch centered with a piece of leaf-shaped amber and a pair of teardrop amber earrings.

 

 

 

Emmiline asks, "I don't suppose Seteria is here, is she?"

Fireeyes shakes her head at Emmiline.

Emmiline says, "Drat."

 

Serenay exclaims, "I'd like to announce a fun little contest that is starting... today!"

 

You arch your eyebrow.

Serenay exclaims, "We are holding a contest for you to design that one item you've always wanted in your home!"

Serenay smiles.

 

Helyanwe ponders a bathroom

Serenay grins at Helyanwe.

 

Serenay says, "Please see the boards for details"

Ceosanna whistles at Serenay.

 

Serenay exclaims, "Thats all I have tonight.  I hope to see entries from everyone here!"

 

Emmiline asks, "I would really love for the rest of my inventory to shelve itself.  Can you make that happen for me?"

Emmiline peers quizzically at Serenay.

 

Ceosanna says, "Well, she could, but she'd probably require a lot of blood sacrifice."

Ceosanna nods to Emmiline.

 

Ceosanna says to Serenay, "At least, I would."

Serenay coughs.

 

Emmiline says, "Well...I AM right around the corner from the hospital..."

Ceosanna exclaims, "Handy!"

Ceosanna nods to Emmiline.

 

Emmiline says, "Or I will be, anyway."

 

Ceosanna asks, "Oh?"

Ceosanna stands near Emmiline.

 

 

Ceosanna asks Emmiline, "You DO know that these folks like to shop, right?"

Emmiline says, "I had heard that rumor, yes."

 

Emmiline says, "Fortunately for me...and them...I can assist with that.  Well...some of that.  Some of the time."

 

 

 

[The Seacaves of Peri'el, Sandy Beach]

A slab of sandstone, split from the cliff's face and toppled on its side, serves as a small stage.  Large branches of driftwood have been dragged near for people who wish to sit.  You also see a crate filled with gifts, a small path, and a Question list.

Also in the room: Ashryth who is sitting, War Pup Ceriben, Emmiline, GameMaster Adera, GameMaster Serenay, GameMaster Baerdolas, GameMaster Ceosanna, Myrmidon Danxiuls, Ucu who is sitting, Asbhuan who is sitting, Sojourner Helyanwe, and Slasher Fireeyes who is sitting.

 

 

Baerdolas says, "I am just here to rub elbo...err knees well my elbow, probably most of your knees, anyways, I am one of the new guys.  Most of what I do is behind the scenes but I still like to learn about the people who actually use it."

 

 

You observe Baerdolas with fascination.

 

Fireeyes leans on Baerdolas.

Ceosanna grins at Baerdolas.

Helyanwe asks, "What area are you usually assigned to, Baerdolas?"

Fireeyes chirrs contentedly to herself, her tail undulating gently back and forth.

 

 

Danxiuls says, "It's always good to meet the folks behind the secences even if they stay behind the secences most of the time"

 

 

Baerdolas says, "At the moment more of a bit of everything. "

 

Emmiline says, "Goodness...you must be awfully tired."

Emmiline pats Baerdolas on the back.

 

Baerdolas says, "When something is broken, that wasn't me."

 

You chortle softly at some secret joke.

Fireeyes grins.

 

Helyanwe says to Ceosanna, "He learns fast"

Ceosanna nods to Helyanwe.

Asbhuan makes a grunting noise.

 

 

Ceosanna exclaims, "Ack, the holidays have me a bit scattered, so, without further ado, I will unleash ... er ... let Adera speak!"

 

Adera coughs.

 

Ceosanna says, "I will also be opening the question list, so please add your name and don't tackle her all at once."

 

 

Adera asks, "Well, does this mean I am in control?"

Ceosanna says, "Always."

Ceosanna leans on Adera.

Adera asks, "They can only speak when pointed at?"

Fireeyes nods to Adera.

Adera grins.

 

 

 

Helyanwe is next.

 

 

 

 

Helyanwe says, "Well.. expected speaking first"

Helyanwe chuckles.

 

Helyanwe says, "I have more of an announcement than a question"

 

Adera exclaims, "Announcemnts are fine!"

Helyanwe says, "For those of you who read the message boards..."

Helyanwe says, "Zadraes has announced another round of applications for ALAE"

 

Helyanwe says, "If you have any interest in world building or just fooling around with being God in a small environment, then it might be for you"

 

Helyanwe says, "I am a member"

Helyanwe says, "and so is Danx over there"

Danxiuls says, "It's kinda fun too"

 

Helyanwe points at Danxiuls.

Helyanwe says, "So if anyone has any questions after the meeting, I'd be happy to answer them"

Helyanwe says, "We've done some exciting projects and others that have yet to be released"

Helyanwe nods.

Helyanwe says, "that's all I have"

 

Adera grins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fireeyes is next.

 

 

 

 

 

Fireeyes grins.

Fireeyes leaps to her feet!

 

 

 

 

Fireeyes asks, "When you spoke of the design-a-house-item contest, did that include pets?"

Fireeyes peers quizzically at Adera.

Ceosanna points at Serenay.

Adera glances at Serenay.

Adera grins.

 

Fireeyes peers quizzically at Serenay.

 

You say, "Miniature war mammoths..."

 

Asbhuan makes a happy grunting noise.

Emmiline says, "We call those "ottomans" in my family."

 

Emmiline nods to you.

 

Serenay grins.

Serenay says, "Pets an option yes."

 

Fireeyes says to you, "I was thinking more about half-grown yeehars."

Fireeyes nods to Serenay.

 

Itodep asks, "Those are the ones that hide under chairs?"

Itodep glances at you.

 

Ceosanna says, "Those would be dust bunnies."

Ceosanna nods to Itodep.

 

Asbhuan quietly says, "Those are gnomes"

Fireeyes says to Serenay, "Thank you! That does broaden my options a bit"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Odon is next.

 

 

 

 

You say, "Well my first thing was just a heads up about the GM submission process... I've heard several reports that people aren't getting the auto-reply even after several attempts.  "

 

You say, "I'm not sure what to tell them."

 

You say, "They've emailed Helena with no responses either."

 

Ceosanna says, "Checking on something quickly."

 

 

Danxiuls says, "The first time I sent in the app for ALAE the system lost it and Zads had to have me send it to a persoanl e-mail because it was in the system at all so don't assume its ever gotten there without confermation of some sort"

 

You nod at Danxiuls, in complete agreement with his views.

 

Fireeyes says, "I did just have a thought about that. Recently my e-mail provider has been bouncing a lot of my mail, and I've had to get them to unbounce it."

 

You say, "I just know re-filling everything out can actually cause people to not apply."

 

You say, "It can be a bit intimidating and emotional I suppose."

 

Fireeyes nods to you.

 

Ceosanna says, "Helena is actually away for a bit; however, she is reading through paperwork and whatnot when she can.  I'll confer with the rest of the hiring team to check on the auto-response issue."

 

Ceosanna says, "The best thing to tell folks is to also make sure that their email address is up-to-date on their play.net account."

 

You say, "Oh, they assure me they are."

 

You nod.

 

You say, "I've had to send things in multiple times in the past so I just assume the systems are lossy, but hopefully not too lossy."

 

 

 

 

You ask, "The second thing, was any thoughts generated from our threads on the Platinum web page?"

 

Ceosanna asks, "Can you be more specific about the platinum webpage?"

 

You say, "Oh, well we'd had quite a big discussion on the forums about the Platinum Signup page.  In terms of what it lists as Platinum benefits and so on."

 

Ceosanna asks, "As far as revamping the platinum page in general, then?"

 

 

 

You say, "Aye."

 

Ceosanna says, "It's been something I've been trying to do for YEARS."

Ceosanna clears her throat.

 

You nod.

You chuckle.

 

You ask, "Is the problem a lack of information from the players, or just GM time?"

Ceosanna says, "I keep passing the information and requests on."

 

Fireeyes nods.

 

You ask, "Any other thoughts on helping out Plat a bit either?"

 

You say, "I know we've been kind of churning the thought factory here trying to attract new victims..."

You scratch your head.

Ceosanna says, "I'll poke at people again, this time with my pointy stick, and see what falls out."

You chuckle.

 

Adera wonders if she should poke.

Fireeyes winks at Adera.

 

 

 

You say, "I want to say, I think the number of events lately has been really really good."

 

You say, "I've unfortunately been tied up all month or I'd have been at them all."

Adera beams at you!  What a warm feeling!

 

Adera winces.

Helyanwe nods to you.

 

You mutter into the air something about second jobs..

 

You say, "Should clear up soon on my end, but I know of a lot of folks that left recently and I'm not sure what to do about that."

 

Adera says, "I tried locking the door."

Itodep says, "we come back from time to time"

Itodep grins.

 

You chortle at Adera.

Adera says, "Someone picked it."

 

Ceosanna says, "There is something in the works to stir up interest in DR in general, so hopefully that will also draw a few players this way as well.  I can't really say anything further than that, so don't ask."

Serenay chuckles at Adera.

 

You say, "No problemo."

Baerdolas says, "Next time we use the bolt option."

 

You exclaim to Baerdolas, "War mammoths sitting on folks has been known to work too!"

 

You say, "Thank you for answering my questions."

You smile.

 

Emmiline says, "That tends to stain the clothing though."

Baerdolas says, "That's Phase 3."

Itodep grins.

 

Ceosanna says, "The poplulation here has always fluctuated.  I remember trying to run an event with only 1 player logged in."

 

Adera says, "'Me too."

 

You ask, "The GMs won't give up on us, right?"

 

Fireeyes grins.

 

Itodep says, "That could be construed as picking on them"

Helyanwe says, "ouch"

 

Ceosanna says, "It's also the holiday's, so a lot of people have other obligations and don't spend as much time on the computer.  I'm confident that we'll have an upswing again."

 

Ceosanna asks, "Does it look like we're giving up on you?"

 

You ask, "I always feel bad when folks aren't around to partake in the events?"

 

You exclaim, "No no!"

 

Ceosanna counts GM noses.

Itodep asks, "I hope so, yanno how hard it is to get teaching with no one to teach?"

Itodep laughs!

 

You grin at Itodep.

 

Asbhuan quietly says, "We are almost outnumbered"

 

You say, "I worry too much I suppose."

 

Ceosanna says, "Plus, with Adera in as Event Team Lead ... she's great at making sure things get done here as well as in prime."

Adera grins.

 

todep asks, "Does she use a whip and chair to get them events in line?"

Itodep glances at Adera.

Ceosanna says, "Among other things."

Adera says, "THat's it exactly."

 

Ceosanna opens her gossamer cobweb.

Ceosanna gets a pair of rusty thumb-screws from inside her gossamer cobweb.

 

Itodep exclaims, "Ack!"

Itodep edges away from Ceosanna.

Adera says, "But I am really pushing for events here."

 

You say to Adera, "It is appreciated."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emmiline is next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emmiline says, "I apologize in advance for running your list amuck but I'm afraid mine isn't much of a question either."

 

You chortle at Emmiline.

 

Adera says, "Goodness, no one wants to talk to me."

 

Emmiline says, "My name is Emmiline Th...well I guess last names don't really matter much."

Emmiline says, "Anyway"

 

Emmiline says, "I wanted to stop by and let a crowd know, since crowds seem sometimes hard to find here, that I'm opening my shop in Willow Walk this Friday."

Helyanwe grins at Emmiline.

 

Emmiline says, "Now you may be asking what shop and who is Emmiline?  Ah ha, see I've worked a question in."

Ceosanna grins.

 

You rub your hands together.

Emmiline says, "Well Emmiline is me, and the shop is mine."

Fireeyes grins.

 

Itodep gazes at Emmiline.

Itodep blinks.

 

Emmiline says, "Now the important thing for you to know is that during most of the year, the shop will only be open to empaths and to a few higher  skilled traders."

 

Asbhuan lets out a loud "Huzzah!"

Fireeyes lets out a hearty cheer for Emmiline!

 

Emmiline says, "However, during the grand opening this Friday, I'll be holding a special sale to benefit a fundraiser for the orphans of Crossing."

 

You let out a loud "Huzzah!"

 

Emmiline says, "See...that's how the orphanage part worked in.  Nicely, too."

 

 

Adera asks, "Hmm...I wonder who might show up to something like that?"

Emmiline says, "During that opening, the shop will be open to everyone who wishes to visit."

 

Ceosanna says to Adera, "With it being open to everyone for just a day, I would hope a lot of folks would show up."

 

Emmiline says, "But only for a couple of days, now, so if you're curious, please do try to come by.  I think we will try to hold the ribbon cutting at 9 pm EST, in Willow Walk."

 

You jot down some notes.

 

Emmiline says, "I'll have cake and coffee too.  Or something that might resemble that."

 

Fireeyes says to Emmiline, "I do know one of my boarders expressed an interest in the orphanage."

Emmiline says, "Oh and heavens!  Before I forget, if ANYONE sees Seteria, could you PLEASE let her know that I need to meet with her.  I'm starting to think she's hiding from me."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Asbhuan is next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Asbhuan says, "O"

 

Asbhuan asks, "First, are we still on tomorrow for the Paldin lecture?"

Adera nods to Asbhuan.

 

Adera says, "I haven't heard anything to the different."

Asbhuan says, "Don't make me be the only one again."

Ashryth says, "I plan to be there."

 

Asbhuan squints.

Asbhuan says, "Good"

Fireeyes grins.

 

Ceosanna says, "Speaking of tomorrow ..."

 

Ceosanna says, "Don't forget that the Skin Painter Tihani will also be making an appearance."

Asbhuan grins at Adera.

 

 

 

 

Asbhuan asks, "Second. I missed the last part of the Lady Snow saga. We going to see more soon?"

Adera nods to Asbhuan.

 

Helyanwe says, "Oh yes.."

Asbhuan says, "A half hour before the lecture right/"

Helyanwe says, "Thank whoever for getting that merchant to arrive"

 

Adera says, "Yes, we are going to continue the Lady Show event."

Adera says, "That's a definite."

 

You say, "Oh good."

 

Asbhuan rubs his hands together.

 

You say, "I want to put one of our plans, one of the many plans we have, into action."

 

You rub your hands together.

Ceosanna says, "Tihani's scheduled to arrive at 8 p.m., and the lecture doesn't start until 10 p.m. EST."

Asbhuan nods to Ceosanna.

Asbhuan says, "I can't read well anymore I guess..."

 

Emmiline says, "The eyes go first, they say."

Emmiline pats Asbhuan on the back.

Ceosanna nods at Emmiline, obviously agreeing with her views.

Fireeyes grins.

 

 

 

 

Asbhuan asks, "Third, did The Three Turnips reopen?"

 

 

Helyanwe asks, "And only 3 custormers, right?"

Ceosanna nods to Helyanwe.

 

Ceosanna asks, "Is that a shop in P5?"

 

Fireeyes nods to Ceosanna.

Asbhuan says, "No the Tog bar"

 

Ceosanna says, "Sorry, my brain's totally shot."

Ceosanna wrinkles her nose.

 

Helyanwe says, "Bar in Tog town"

Fireeyes says, "Holidays"

Fireeyes nods.

 

Asbhuan says, "There were several areas open the first week that are now closed"

Fireeyes pats Ceosanna on the back.

Helyanwe adds his name to the Question list.

Asbhuan says, "Turnips was one of the big ones"

 

Baerdolas says, "I avoid tog bars... too many impromptu tog ball games."

Asbhuan shrugs.

 

Asbhuan says, "As a Dwarf they don't touch me."

Asbhuan says, "Yet"

Baerdolas says, "As a gnome, I become the ball."

 

Asbhuan says, "Or a Skra I hear."

 

Ceosanna says, "There were issues with some areas, and some I believe were just teasers.  I'll check with the owner of the bar to see if I can get a status report on that place specifically, though."

 

Asbhuan says, "Thanks. I had drunk the Thirteenth Passage dry and needed more"

You say to Asbhuan, "that is why when ye find a good bar, ye live there."

 

You exclaim to Asbhuan, "Then they can't kick you out!"

Asbhuan says, "Passage is my home"

Fireeyes grins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ashryth is next.

 

 

 

 

 

Ashryth says, "First of all, as someone new, everyone has been very welcoming."

Ceosanna grins at Ashryth.

 

Fireeyes lets out a hearty cheer for Ashryth!

 

You exclaim to Ashryth, "Sorry Renwulf didn't get to greet you.  You grew up too quickly!"

 

You grin at Ashryth.

 

Ashryth says, "Secondly, you asked for suggestions to expand the population, and they actually did something that was pretty successful at it in GS."

 

Ashryth says, "Over this past summer, they gave free platinum trials for the entire summer (90 days) for any premium members who asked."

 

Ashryth says, "From what I understand, the retention rate was pretty good."

Emmiline murmurs quietly, "Pardon me."  She scoots around those seated and quietly slips down the path.

 

You chuckle.

 

Ashryth says, "That was all."

Asbhuan grins at Ashryth.

 

Ceosanna exclaims, "Thanks for the suggestion!"

Adera smiles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helyanwe is next.

 

 

 

Helyanwe says, "Now I really do have a question"

Helyanwe says, "When the new province opened, they restricted access to test conveyances and whatnot"

Fireeyes grins at Helyanwe.

 

Helyanwe asks, "I haven't been paying attention, but are the direct water routes still closed? and if so, can we get them open here in Plat, at least?"

Helyanwe says, "That's it for me."

Helyanwe grins.

 

 

Helyanwe grins at Adera.

Ucu just arrived.

 

Ucu takes a seat.

 

Adera says, "I'm still open for questions."

Adera grins.

 

Helyanwe asks Adera, "did you have any traderly like announcements to make?"

Adera says, "Not yet."

 

Adera grins at Helyanwe.

Helyanwe chuckles.

 

Baerdolas says, "At this point the water routes are not ready for use yet in any instance.  "

 

Fireeyes nods to Baerdolas.

 

Helyanwe says, "Ah.. I thought I caught the flurry of backstage checking going on there"

 

Helyanwe asks, "Any idea of time frame on them?"

 

Baerdolas says, "I would not hazard a guess at this point.  Anything I said would be wildly inaccurate and only serve to get me on someone's bad side."

 

Baerdolas winks at Helyanwe.

Helyanwe grins at Baerdolas.

Helyanwe says, "Completely understand"

 

 

 

 

 

You ask Adera, "If we know of people interested in running events, or that have ideas for events, is it a good idea to just tell them to send everything to DR-events@play.net?"

 

Adera nods to you.

Adera says, "Definitely."

 

You say, "Alrighty.  I think we all worry about bogging you guys down."

 

You chuckle.

Fireeyes nods.

 

Adera says, "No, we need to know what you are doing and want to do."

Adera says, "It's honestly a lot harder over here, so I'd rather know you are running something, and wouldn't mind if there was GM invovlement."

 

Ceosanna says, "Plus, player-run events give GMs who are hesitant to try to drum up attendance for their own events a way to sneak in and RP with you all."

Ceosanna whistles an innocent tune.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adera says, "I have a question for you folks."

 

Adera asks, "What do you think about the calendar and postings I've done?  The ones that say Event...Shard...be there?"

 

You say, "That is a good way of doing it I think.  It keeps the mystery, and gets people where they need to be."

Helyanwe nods to you.

 

 

Fireeyes says to Adera, "It's been great for getting people to where they can play along, if they wish"

 

Asbhuan quietly says, "For myself that was an interesting evening"

 

Helyanwe says, "Also, maybe, if possible, a little hint on the time committment expected would help too"

Adera says, "Good, we were leary about it, but I wanted to get folks to where they needed to be."

Adera says, "And if you still have the mystery, great."

Fireeyes nods to Adera.

 

Adera says, "I've asked all the GM's to send them to me."

Helyanwe says, "It's a good idea for our small scattered population"

Fireeyes nods.

 

You say, "I will try to be more proactive with my own events as far as letting the GMs know whats going on in the future."

 

Adera says, "And I'll continue....that's also for the mystery, with just my name there, it doesn't out the GM's."

 

Asbhuan quietly says, "Given the way it went it was good Sete and I were up in Crossing"

Helyanwe says, "As far as player stuff.. the more we can get on the calendars the better for attendance as well"

Adera nods to Helyanwe.

 

Helyanwe says, "Plus it gives the GMs and change to interact and maybe lay the seeds for one of their events as well"

Adera says, "Ceosanna is still your contact for that, but I'm getting the messages and then sending them out to the GM's."

 

Fireeyes grins.

Fireeyes nods.

Helyanwe says, "We lub or Ceosanna"

Fireeyes snuggles up to Ceosanna.

Adera says, "And she loves you."

 

Adera grins.

Ceosanna says, "If you have an event that you aren't requesting any special favors for, or you just need a calendar entry ..."

 

You nod.

 

Ceosanna says, "You should still write to dr-events, but you can add me onto that email."

 

Ceosanna says, "I try to snag those when they come through, which I hope helps Adera with her job just a smidge."

Ceosanna leans on Adera.

 

Adera asks, "What else can we do?"

Adera asks, "To make it easier on you and us?"

Helyanwe ponders.

 

You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation.

 

You say, "Just keep trying, and we'll keep trying, and eventually it'll all come together."

You chuckle.

 

Adera grins.

 

Adera says, "Well, we are trying, honestly."

Fireeyes grins.

Fireeyes nods.

 

You say, "I think people will catch on to the new change in event-structure and warm up to it."

Helyanwe says, "We understand that"

 

Fireeyes smiles.

 

 

 

Adera says, "I have to say, there were attempts at events this week, that never happened."

Adera says, "This is really frustrating to us."

 

 

Fireeyes exclaims, "Aww!"

 

 

Helyanwe says, "And even if it sometimes doesn't seem it, we appreciate it too"

Fireeyes nods.

 

Adera says, "Because we want to do them for you and us...but we feel almost failure if we can't get your attention."

 

Helyanwe says, "Holidays can be weird times"

Adera nods.

 

Helyanwe says, "Sometimes everybody's on and wanting something to do, and other times just dead"

Asbhuan quietly says, "Too mnay long nights in a row make it challenging at home though."

 

Fireeyes says, "There was one attempted today- and yesterday. A special merchant. But I didn't have the foggiest notion of where to look for him."

Adera nods to Fireeyes.

 

Adera asks, "Did he give hints?"

Fireeyes shakes her head.

Fireeyes says, "Not that I saw"

`

Adera nods.

Adera says, "Alright, I'll mention that."

 

 

You say, "I also wanted to say that if people get wind of anything event-wise, shoot me an email or IM and I'll see they get up on the drplat site."

 

 

Helyanwe says, "Yes, by all means if you're a part of something, post it so we all know what's going on"

 

You say, "I updated it I think with everything I was sent or heard about for November."

 

 

You say, "But I can miss stuff.  Just kick me and I'll throw it on up."

Asbhuan nods to you.

 

Ucu hums to himself.

Adera says, "We appreciate the feedback as well."

 

Asbhuan quietly asks you, "Did you have a log of the 10th by the way?"

Adera says, "I think every GM that does an event, check the boards first thing the next morning...."

 

You say to Asbhuan, "I am not sure.. let's speak of it following the meeting."

Adera says, "Even before coffee..."

 

Fireeyes grins.

Helyanwe grins at Adera.

 

Ucu asks Adera, "Coffee?"

Asbhuan gets a pint of amber ale from inside his black backpack.

Asbhuan taps a pint of amber ale that he is holding.

 

Adera says, "For me at least."

Adera grins.

 

Serenay grins.

Asbhuan asks, "Anyone?"

 

Helyanwe says, "I know Prime can be brutal about that"

Adera says, "It's not as pleasing, but it's just as needed."

Fireeyes nods.

 

Adera says, "We have to know what doesn't work."

Helyanwe nods.

 

Asbhuan puts his ale in his black backpack.

Fireeyes chuckles.

 

 

Ucu asks, "Actually, if you're still talking about the calendar, can I make a suggestion?"

Adera nods.

 

Fireeyes says, "There have been a few times on the prime boards when I've been tempted to chant "Whine two three four...""

 

Fireeyes snickers.

Adera grins at Fireeyes.

Fireeyes winks at Adera.

Helyanwe grins at Fireeyes.

Helyanwe nods to Fireeyes.

 

Ucu says, "When you say 'guildleader soandso will be hosting an event', could you add which guild he's a leader of?  I'm not familiar with most of the leaders."

Helyanwe says, "When the aren't happy, they surely let everyone know it"

 

You grin at Ucu.

Adera nods to Ucu.

 

Adera says, "That's fair."

 

 

You say, "I... am horrible with names and titles and the like."

Helyanwe says, "good point"

 

You say, "Hence my confusion with the Snow event a little."

 

You chortle softly at some secret joke.

Ucu says, "Like, say..the one for the amusement pier on the 5th.."

Ucu grins.

 

Helyanwe says, "I get all the names mixed up"

Asbhuan snickers at you.

Fireeyes grins.

 

You ask, "Who knew Cialen's last name was Orgrelieva-something?"

Adera says, "I did."

 

Ceosanna says, "We can suggest it, but sometimes it might not happen."

Adera ponders.

 

You duck your head.

Asbhuan raises his hand.

Adera asks, "You didn't?"

 

 

You say, "Oh I probably did, at some point."

 

You wink.

 

Adera grins.

(Odon knocks on his skull.)

 

Ucu asks you, "What guild is he anyway?"

 

You break out in a silly grin.

Adera glances at Ucu.

 

Adera asks, "You didn't just ask that?"

 

You say, "Nah, that was fine.  ICly you can't know everyone so it makes sense to have to find out."

Fireeyes says to Ucu, "Trader"

Fireeyes grins.

 

Ucu nods to Fireeyes.

Ucu says to Adera, "I wouldn't know who you are if you didn't have your guild showing."

Asbhuan quietly asks, "Who didn't know he was a Viscount too?"

Adera grins at Ucu.

 

Fireeyes grins.

Ceosanna says to Ucu, "The big "GameMaster" title kind of gives her away.  That and the aura."

Ceosanna winks at Ucu.

 

Fireeyes says, "And that he hailed from Therenborough or therabouts"

Ucu says to Ceosanna, "But which guild."

Ucu grins.

 

Fireeyes grins.

Adera sniffles.

Asbhuan quietly says, "Yak yak"

 

 

Adera says, "My reputation didn't precede me..."

Ucu says, "I don't even remember the name of my guild's GM most of the time."

Ucu coughs.

Fireeyes chuckles.

Ceosanna says to Adera, "More death and destruction via caravans."

Ceosanna nods to Adera.

 

Adera says, "I'm the Trader Liason as well as the Events Lead."

Adera grins at Ucu.

Ucu nods.

 

You let out a loud "Huzzah!"

Fireeyes grins.

 

Adera says, "Ordering them up now."

Helyanwe says, "that equals very busy person"

Adera nods to Ceosanna.

Ceosanna rubs her hands together.

Fireeyes grins.

 

Ucu asks Adera, "So...you're a heavy drinker..?"

Adera says, "Not at all."

Adera grins.

Adera says, "I love my jobs."

Ucu snickers.

 

Adera asks, "So any other events questions for me?"

Fireeyes ponders.

Fireeyes exclaims, "Ooh! One!"

Fireeyes grins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fireeyes is next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fireeyes asks, "Can you do say, a few critters for a player event?"

 

Fireeyes shrilly whistles.

 

Ceosanna says to Ashryth, "If you have a question, you should type "join list."

Ceosanna grins at Ashryth.

 

Fireeyes says, "Not special ones, just a few- misplaced."

Adera asks, "What sort of event?"

 

You ask Fireeyes, "Thinking Rayvne might finally get her pet mammoth eh?"

Fireeyes hums to herself.

Fireeyes grins.

Fireeyes says to you, "No idea- but it sounds interesting."

 

 

Asbhuan quietly says to you, "Only if it's pink."

Ashryth shakes his head at Ceosanna.

 

You laugh at Asbhuan!

 

Fireeyes says to Adera, "Well, the plot line is this: I have this one little lass who more or less stumbled over an- item- while running for her life."

Fireeyes says to Adera, "only, this item tends to draw ghosts and things, so she has to stay in holy places to rest"

 

Fireeyes says, "And the curse on the item- and the girl- needs to be broken so the ghosts can rest"

Asbhuan nervously says, "Drawg."

 

Fireeyes grins at Asbhuan.

Asbhuan glances about with concern on his face.

Asbhuan grins at Fireeyes.

 

Adera says, "The best I can suggest is to contact me via Events."

 

Adera says, "In other words, I need to do some research, but I'm willing to talk to you about it, and see what we can do."

 

Fireeyes nods to Adera.

Fireeyes exclaims, "Okies. Thanks!"

Fireeyes smiles.

 

Ceosanna asks Ashryth, "Did you have a question outside of the realm of events?"

Ceosanna leans on Ashryth.

Ashryth nods.

 

 

Ashryth asks, "Someone told me that you usually give out custom titles at the end of these. Is this still the case?"

 

 

 

Adera grins.

Fireeyes grins at Adera.

Fireeyes nods to Adera.

 

Helyanwe chuckles.

Ceosanna says, "I usually do.  I can stick around for a few minutes if anyone needs them."

Ceosanna grins at Ashryth.

 

Ashryth says, "That was easy."

Helyanwe grins at Ashryth.

 

Ceosanna grins.

Asbhuan ponders Master of Hibarnhvidar.

Helyanwe says, "Ask and you shall receive"

Fireeyes grins.

Ceosanna exclaims, "That said, let's give our guests a thundering round of applause!"

 

And the crowd goes wild!

 

 

 

 

So that concluded the November Plat Meeting.  I can't wait to see what December has in store for us!
