This was a relatively quiet game for me, actually. Not that there wasn't combat to be had, that was provided in spades, it just didn't involve my PC much. It's what I get for making a character who's still convinced that anything law-related is stupid. :funny: This list is in no semblance of order. I'm not even going to try to pretend it is.
Singing is number one on the list of things that made me happy, though. I don't care what kind of singing it is, Vicky got some sing time with Alda and then it just kind of... spread? I don't know what happened there, but it was awesome and should be repeated. The dirty jokes made Vicky homesick, hah!
Yay, Dad's 50th birthday! It started off with a lot of frustration and threats to confiscate his phone, but he ended up enjoying himself. He makes Robb Graves and Joe Siegel look like the "happy-happy-joy-joy" type of people who compliment everyone, so I'm both impressed and relieved that he actually had fun. Thank you all for putting up with his constant confusion.
'Nother little out of game note: NICOLE AND ROBARE, THAT WAS ADORABLE. Seriously. So happy for you guys. I don't think anyone could blame you at all for not being able to stay in character. The huzzahs and everything were just perfect. Also, "Is there any reason for this hold to continue?" "It's adorable!" Yes. That is definitely a legitimate reason for that to go on for a bit so everyone could stop girlishly squealing. (if you didn't out loud, you know you did it a little inside, along with yelling "Gross!" if you're Sean)
Being taught how to read magic by the Phoenix. What. Just... what. Mike, that roleplay way so much fun! And random Auwen (...spelling?) interruptions! Haha, Perry's sudden appearance and "no, really, chaos is okay. Necromancy is some messed up stuff." explanation may have blown Vicky's mind just a bit.
Checking in on the Vansir who showed up. Vicky worries about you guys. But she had to have some distance and give you guys space, so there wasn't much RP. In distancing herself from them, spending a little time with the Gilded Claw because Vicky was uncomfortable with Zenyhu (sp?). All the getting to know Lili things. Explaining horns aren't something to be shy about, discussing Death Kitty, how saying "b****" after a slay should be a flaw on a weapon, general shenanigans, etc.
Having a conversation with Claude that didn't result in Vicky wanting to murder him repeatedly.
Tackling Kai and thinking it was all okay and then... AUGHHHH, KAAAAAAAI, STAHP. What're you DOING?! Breaking Vicky, of course. It's cool. The one thing that's kept her mentally stable for the past season just magically disappeared. It's fine. She still cares. Nothing's wronggggg-!!!
Ruis hugs and the knowing looks that resulted in. Little "you good? okay." expressions every so often are nice, even if they're unintended. Also the "wait, you still need healing? healing arts, how many body are you down?" "...26..." and NOT getting glared at for once. Just a sigh and a shake of the head.
Conversations with Chullain. Accidentally stepping on a landmine. Vicky's starting to like the taste of foot.
"Did you just use 'terse' in a sentence? All right, she's cool. Any anger that had been there? It's over. Gone."
Watching Kai go catatonic and not being able to do anything about it. It makes me appreciate Erika as a roleplayer, but it makes Vicky tear her hair out. Foot in mouth, again.
On a related note, Vicky has slight PTSD. Did not realize this. Also, she worries constantly about people who aren't there. "How's Nikhujo? Is her claw still messed up?" "Wonder if Tvard'll be all right where I left him." "I hope Ag and Val are keeping a good eye on Thurisaz. I know they will, but..."
So, Vicky has this thing called a "hate-crush"? Uhm... all right. Resulting gossip with Erden and Vicky realizing she might be able to get along with Erden even if Kai wasn't going to hear it.
Sitting with the Healer's Guild and the Hunt for a few meals. Hilarity. Also, being interviewed. Much less terrifying than Vicky thought. Also, talking with Lili about it maybe not being a good idea after all and delving into Vicky's insecurities and trust issues.
Storming off to go cry something out, having the in-character realization that this was childish. Also, Ocean's attempt to teach her how to handle things in a non-painful manner. She may get fixed yet.
Susie. flipping. Lee. "I AM THE LAW!" That argument was so hard not to meta!laugh at, but it was very well played. "Who do you think signed it?" and the resulting "ooooooooh!" from everyone was just great.
And finally, the Jade Skeleton. What? Just... what? Vicky was so torn about all of that! Talking to him, happy that she wasn't going to get messed with, wanting to know things, feeling bad for him, wanting to repay him for making her feel safe, finding out Sejanus was probably under some kind of influence, getting a hint, and then panicking when she stopped hearing him. *shakes fist* Tom's an amazing roleplayer, guys. Seriously.
To conclude it with a more funny note... Watching Tom get "group creeped" by the Hunt. What even?
