In no particular order:

  • The Assacrantii post-resurrection conversation, and the related but non-concurrent "No, don't get me wrong, I've never been more honored to be condescended to"

  • Marisa's well-deserved knighting and VV's promotion

  • The thrown-together Griffin fight riding on the residual high from defeating the Dreameater. It's always great to wrap things up, and doing two whole things is a rare accomplishment that shouldn't be overlooked

  • The first time VV has seriously asked for permission to throw healing as damage, but but she had spares and wanted to (and I actually hit, so that's good)

  • Even though it ended up being unsuccessful, using the Aquilix resurrection circle thing in an attempt to draw the Empress to it. It was long and loud but very engaging, and when Petronia stepped in everything got better

  • Political progress as well as martial progress, and the formation of a new strategy

  • Working with a different team than usual and trying to get a bead on what everyone both could and was willing to do in battle
 
Did I not say "favorite moments" enough? This favorite moments thread is for your favorite moments.
 
  • The entirety of the Dreameater fight. Excellent scaling, fun and clean fighting, and great RP throughout.
  • All of the Totem plot. I'm really excited to have so many new shamans and see this become a bigger part of the universe. Also it's always great when my overdoing things with crafting props and garb has an effect on the game.
  • Brain surgery. Such an amazingly gross prop, and a new roleplay challenge!
  • Lots of wonderful interpersonal moments. 20 questions with aphasic Plue, games of chance with the town guard, being Marisa's second, and emotional drama with Liren...
 
Lots of good memories, but a few highlights:
  • My first chance to really negotiate and speak with a member of the Fae and the first deal out of Petronia's mouth is an overbid by a longshot, to the point they told me so.
  • Singing with Vellis in a loud and exhausted attempt to guide back the Empress (I was so tired I forgot all my songs, and half their lyrics, oh my goodness). Unexpected friendships and bonding are always really cool.
  • Handing out the items I made for a couple of totems and seeing them get used (though the adorable mouse toy made its way back to me at the end).
  • First experience with a Nexus forging involving Petronia being asked to touch the forge, and it "biting" much to her dismay
  • Becoming a shaman for Deer, despite the fact that my ability to word what I was thinking was limited to "you want a shaman maybe?" by sleep deprivation and nerves.
  • Getting a chance to get to know some characters beyond Petronia's normal running crews.
  • The continued pattern of being asked to go get identified in the Celestial circle every time Petronia goes to Maelstrom. Every time.
