[knightly]

Aside from a couple of comments (which were obviously me given how boring and uptight I sounded), I closed my journal early and remain blissfully ignorant as to what people got up to by signing my name to their posts. My night was quite enjoyable, and I'm glad that people seemed to have fun with anonymity.

Also, I apologize to everyone in Ribbonfin for being a terrible pr

LARP has started in earnest now, after spending September finding our footing and helping new players get accustomed to how we do things. The kingdom is still shocked and devastated by the assassination of our long-standing monarch, but King Elmasry is growing more comfortable on the throne, and our guild has an admirable array of heroic names from across the land. (And a few less heroic ones too, of course. I didn't forget about you.)

It's strange to run the club after having lost all of our founding members from last year's graduating class, but the other LARP veterans have proven well up to the task. Thank you, all of you. I hope we can bring you an exciting adventure this year.

I see you looking at me and my less heroic ways!

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

Right ??

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

Someone has to play the bad guy here! Or at least the very gray chaotic sort of evil character. We can't all be heroes!

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

Some of us are just a step above NPC

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

You will never be an NPC in my heart.

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

The title to a ballad I must write

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

I will happily listen to this.

[knightly]

LARP is very accepting of people who would rather sing songs and dance in the forest than be a hero or a villain!

It's actually a bit odd playing a Chaotic Neutral type this year. I keep having to rein my impulse to get involved with saving people.

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

AHAHa true I would've been kicked out long ago otherwise

Well I think you pull it off!
You're like a secret weapon now
Chaotic Neutral buuuuut when the going gets rough PERHAPS WILL SAVE THE DAY (heroic trumpet music)

[knightly]

A completely judgment-free statement! There is no light without darkness. And vice versa.

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

I will rain down such horrible hellfire upon the land on such slander!

[knightly]

Ah, but not while there are brave souls who will stand against your wanton destruction.

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

Never! Evil will always win because good is lame!


But you know I love you and you good guys secretly. You're all just standing in my way.

[knightly]

Oh, we act so noble, but perhaps we have some fondness for you and your ilk as well. After all, without you, there wouldn't be any adventures.

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

So what I am hearing here is "Please Sindori, make more things horrible and evil for us. We need it to survive." Gotcha boss.

[knightly]

I could never say such a thing aloud, Trixie. Think of the innocent NPC townspeople who must suffer to show how dastardly you are.

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

I feel nothing for the townspeople! They are but pawns in my game.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

I am glad you had an enjoyable night.

[knightly]

I had good company. Although perhaps next time I want to talk about books, I'll go where there's less drunken yelling.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Yes, that did go against the vibe of talking about books.

[notacad.insanejournal.com]

I think I commented, like, twice on that!

[knightly]

A quick dip is all you need. My curiosity is satisfied.

[notacad.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, mine too. I mean, if something really bad happened it might be different.

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

I didn't even bother reading it at all.

[knightly]

You're better off. Truly. I just asked everyone to be kind to each other, and it sounds like they mostly were, which makes me happy but not even a little bit inclined to read.

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I'm not even making the tiniest trip in - safer out, I think.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Your appearance was brief but memorable. You'd be pleased to know people were largely well behaved. I know, I'm as shocked as you are.

[knightly]

Contrary to popular opinion, I am an optimist, and will not claim shock at all. Or credit, as I do believe everyone is quite capable of being well-behaved without me making terribly supercilious PSAs.

What do you think of the new moon posts? Is there anything like this at Hogwarts?

[addytives]

It wasn't uptight; it was a good reminder. I'm glad you had fun!

[knightly]

You are forever too kind to me, Addy. But thank you.

And I'm glad everyone in Azurcrest had a party to enjoy. That was my first time to your house under such conditions, and it was barely debauched at all.

[addytives]

Omg I'm glad you got to see us at our best then! We pace our debauchery.

[knightly]

So, in the unlikely chance that this boring prefect gets invited to another cool Azurcrest party, I should expect more debauchery? Good to know, good to know. I'll bring a raincoat.

[addytives]

Boring nothing! But yeah you should honestly always bring a raincoat. JUST in case.

[browbeats]

Boring and uptight are just synonyms for classy and smart. No matter what I do, I always find myself sucked into that stupid post.

Ravi/Rosy

[knightly]

Thank you, Rosy. I'm writing that one down for whenever I feel the need to join a dating site.

I can't blame you. The whole thing is a fascinating study of what's on our classmates' minds—the good and the bad. Was your experience more good or bad?

Ravi/Rosy

[browbeats]

Why would someone voted one of the cutest boys in Gooseberry need to join a dating site?

It was tame on the whole, just a reminder that I'm related to the biggest asshole in school [...] annoying. I pretty much always find myself getting in some stupid debate, like I can change someone's mind on an anonymous post.
