*The camera pans in on a Miqo'te, Â clad in a red velure smoking jacket, and sat by a roaring log fire in the open hearth, in the oversized embrace of an ornate leather armchair. Â Glancing up, he reverently closes the colourful hardback pop-up picturebook shut, and offers a kindly smile as the book "Kupo's" once the two covers come together.*
Well hello there! Â How are you all today? Â I trust you've been well? Â Oh~ I suppose, judging by that eager glint in your eyes, you've come to hear a tale? Â Yes... yes... I thought as much. Â Something with danger, no doubt? Â Adventure? Â Lots of excitement? Â Mayhaps with a tale of love along the way?
Well, why don't you just draw seat by the fire, snuggle up, toast some marshmallows, and we'll see if we can't find just the story you''re after...
So, where have we been this week? Â We've been busy, that's where!
On the PvE side of life, we've begun the long Coil ascent! Â It's early days, but we're now putting together more organised groups to go along with the impromptu dungeon runs designed to help folks gear up. Â How well will this work out? Â I'd like to think fairly well! Â We've got some experienced hands in the crew, and those of us new to Coil are eager to learn more! Â So fingers are crossed that the drops are as sweet as the people running it.</charm>
On the RP side of things...
Inarah's ran a small event with our more sneaky Hobbitses, Tata and Thara to further certain very important plans that have nothing to do with the wedding andifanyonefromtheGoldsmith'sguildnoticestworingsmissingitwasn'tusokay?
Secondly, last night Stone Wall hosted another event for the FC, this time a training event designed to give everyone present an insight into how their brothers- and sisters-in-arms fight, promoting a sense of unity and camaraderie within the pack!
Xiv brought his date along, of course, whereas Tata and his friend Aeron brought along some choice cuts of buffalo, which were promptly turned into a rather moreish stew by Inarah, who continues to delight and surprise everyone with a hitherto hidden talent as a chef.
Oh, and Thya introduced her mentor, who seems to be an honest-to-goodness Warrior. Â He and Kilid duelled. Â Kilid's pretty much bedridden for a few suns with headtrauma. Â Fun times! Looking forward to more of them.
Tonight, we're hoping to finish off the first chapter (Job) in Jackal and Hide's tale. Â I'm not going to write more about it, because... well, it's more fun to do so after the event!
Just a short bump for recent events today, I'm afraid children. You can look forward to another one soon though, once we've finished up tonight's event!
