Rin was always a very cryptic character, never quite showing too much of herself unless you were well entrenched in her circle. Even then, she kept many secrets and never seemed to say quite everything that was on her mind. A puzzle and a half.

She was something of a mentor, and always spawned very enjoyable RP, even when she was pissed. Kay learned a great deal from Rin and she really did change his world view significantly. Strike another point for the changelings. So crazy that <redacted.> Grats on getting to the center. Or wherever it was she got!

Very light Coldwater spoilers with Bristol and Heron:

A note found in the Ruined Neighborhoods, likely left for Mebril:

Can't believe how much hell Kay put Mebril through. Sorry for that.

Felt really lucky to be embroiled in anything Blackhearth-related. Wish Greywood and Blackheath had been able to interact more earlier on when I played Bracken; there were some cool plots with the sword and shield that unfortunately didn't get to see more action.

Didn't get a chance to interact overly with Mebril, but felt like I got to know her to some degree through everyone around her, ringrunning between 71 and 64, and the few heartbreaking scenes that happened after. (Still getting hit in the feels running rings behind her.) Kick ass that you guys made it all the way to Ring 1.


Awkward moments after certain revelations:

Mebril giving blood to Doukas (and us sitting through his interminable lecture):

Whether or not the little liar actually was, Boots always seemed like a ray of sunshine in the cold and dreary landscape that is the City of Rings. I enjoyed my interactions with him and am sad to see him go. Great character. He'll be missed!

Pitra was the wildest ride. You always manage to come up with fantastic characters, EoN, and the Pitras were no exception!

Trying to fix being tainted by the Nothing with friends from houses and Ponds, alike.

Praying for guidance and healing before being burned by Niobe, and all the trauma that caused. But at least she wasn't hanged???

The infamous blushwhorl and all the chaos that caused. Too perfect.

And, of course, the stalking/obsession that turned out to be quite terrifying in its supposed innocence. This happened at least once a night!

Being friends with Lalena was great fun (and also full of tremendous heartache for the trials we shared). Brack valued her greatly and she became his saving grace in the end. His confidant when he felt he couldn't turn to anyone else. I felt really lucky to have had such good rp with you/Lalena over the past several months and am really glad you finally got to see Baz'eel!

The Tehoto trip was such fun.
[hide][SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Talk] Speaking of which.
[woothlesstolverine] Tom Mayborne: [Talk] Bracken!
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] "Gambling, are we?"
[woothlesstolverine] Tom Mayborne: [Talk] *She beams wide*
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Talk] No, was giving coin to a storyteller who didn't pick it up.
[woothlesstolverine] Tom Mayborne: [Talk] We were waiting for you.  Lalena and I want to take everyone to Tehoto for some relaxation.
[94sHippie] Lalena Steele: [Talk] Hello Brack
[woothlesstolverine] Tom Mayborne: [Talk] And, if there's time, maybe deal with some kobolds for the locals.
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Talk] [He shifts over, then slides an arm around Bracken's shoulder.]
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He gives her a subdued but happy smile. "The four of us? That sounds lovely."
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He raises a brow at Diethard.
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Whisper]  They're planning something. I know not what.
[94sHippie] Lalena Steele: [Talk] [whispers and giggles giving a grin to Diet]
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Whisper]  See?
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] His brows rise high at something muttered, then his lips split in a sly grin.
[woothlesstolverine] Tom Mayborne: [Talk] *She giggles, glancing at the boys with a mischievous grin*
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "Two can play at that game. Say we give them a run for their groat?"
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Whisper]  That's what I like to hear.
[SilentMoth] Diethard Cholers: [Talk] [He nods, then pats the man's shoulder.] M'ready when you two are. [/hide]

And fighting off the constant, soul-crushing despair that is EFU.

I wish I'd been able to spend more time with Heron. You and he were such fun. Really going to miss you both. He made a lot of mayhem, even though he wasn't aware of all of it. The echoes of his vision, and his influence on people will live on despite his final curtain.

Hope to see you again on another character if/when you're able.  : )

Of all the characters you've had that I've interacted with, Meryl has been my favorite. Extra special that I got to do ring-running shenanigans with her. Truly fearless. She'll be missed, but the mark that she made on so many of us will live on.  Can't wait to see who you play next!

Always quick to help those in need, he never asked why, only how. Thanks for getting Sykes back on his feet and for the general RP!

Igor was friend and foe, ally and adversary all in one. And his emotes were always top notch. He held onto so many secrets, but don't we all? His corner of the Moonspear Triad will be missed!





((Obligatory edit for ash addict emote.))

It's been really interesting seeing the range of characters that you play, and Nula was so very divergent from that. Kay only got a few snippets of who and what she was, and a tiny bit of her motivations after the fact. But she was mysterious and so much fun to have around.

I didn't know Sandor for very long but he and Kay had some good moments. And even though the wedding was crashed, it did indeed have a happy ending. Kandra kissing Sandor without any fear or disgust for his marred face was a touching moment, too. It'll be interesting to see who you choose to play next, but by all means enjoy your break!

Only really had one in depth interaction with Jere, but it was a good one (incidentally the one where Eli got Lord Scragston!). Eli had just been attacked, the whole guild was up in arms over it, and this guy totally unknown to Brack comes in to comfort her. That act alone was enough to excuse pretty much anything Jeremiah could have done. And after reading through his obit, it's interesting to see the tells about his past that weren't apparent at the time.

Wish we could've interacted more, SN. Jere was good folk, despite all his demons. Thought I'd post some bits from the day Eli got her pup since you said you were missing them.

[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Right...
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] C'me on, boy. *He whistles, sharply..*
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] She glances at Jeremiah, then at the dog, eyebrow arching. "Is this... your dog?" 
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] One arm is tossed over the back of his chair, considering the trio behind him.
Dog: [Talk] *Young, albeit grizzled and scared dog follows, wagging it's tail shyly.*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Let's just say...
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] ... I liberated 'im.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] T'cheer y'up.
Dog: [Talk] *A low whine..*
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] His face softens at that, a wry smile crossing his lips and chasing away his frown.
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] "Oh... oh!" she gasped, gazing at the creature. "I... I don't know what to do..." she flexed her fingers. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Maybe he'll take likin' t'ya, hm?
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] "How do I say hello to a dog properly?" she glanced at Jeremiah briefly. 
Dog: [Talk] *The dog plops on the ground, rolling onto its' back..*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Oh, I dunno. Like-
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Elinny approaches cautiously, one step, then one more before lowering herself down right next to the dog. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk]  *He clicks his tongue a couple times at the young pup. His own seething and anger seems to have dissipated, or hidden away as he regards the two*
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] "H-hi..." her voice gentled, "...Can we be friends?" she reached with her shivering hand, that hovered above the dog, her gaze sent Jeremiah's way as if asking for permission. 
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He pushes himself up and makes his way over to Jeremiah, extending a hand to him and speaking quietly. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Like, when y'befriend 'em, hold y'hand open towards it, and let 'em come t'ya, instead o'other way around. Make it close enough t'sniff it an' all that-
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "Thank you for this. Don't think I caught your name."
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Her hand quickly retracts and she clears her throat, then reaches once more with palm open toward the dog, her hand simply lingering mid-air, waiting. 
Dog: [Talk] *The dog reaches out with his nose - glistening wet - slowly, curiously, towards the hand...*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Jeremiah o'the Grim Groats.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] *He shakes Bracken's hand.*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  And naw, don't mention it.. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  ... She's one o'the few folk in this city who..
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  ... Make me a better man than I am.
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Elinny almost stopped breathing, eyes on the dog, hand still unmoving. Only a quick glance flicked briefly at the two men on the side. 
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "Brack. Well met, Jeremiah." Then a glance to Eli as he drops his hand. "She has a way of doing that, aye, though she doesn't always see that power in herself."
Dog: [Talk] *There is a low growl emitting from somewhere in its' throat....*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Yep. Stops me from razin' it all into ash..
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Another glance flits toward Jeremiah this time, worried. "Am I... am I doing something wrong? I can't tell."
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  .. Or somethin' close.

[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Those things 'ere, I'm learning though - t'Anglers and the like - 'appen to come and go, if y'catch m'drift.. Just gotta keep 'er safe, like and away from all that.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Ain't no one hunting me .. yet. I think. Anglers are out f'Merryweather, though...
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Just the two o'us left..
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] A string of gentled words comes from the young woman. "You may have it, dog, but you must come to me."
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "Might be best to change your colors, if you're able."
Dog: [Talk] *A confused look, the dog gets low on its front paws, barking again a few times. It is, indeed, very demanding....*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Once a Groat always a groat..
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He seems to consider the words a long moment before shrugging one shoulder.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] *He fishes out a dented coin from his pocket on his chest, on top of his heart, and lets it dance over his knuckles at something whispered..*

[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Yea, that's... life, El. But y'know, the old saying goes - e'ery dog has his day.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Some more days than t'others though.
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] "Is today Lord Scragston's day?" her free hand reaches up to scratch her cheek, then she rolls the egg closer toward the dog, but just for an inch or so. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Such cruelty..
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Her confused look flicks at Jeremiah. 
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He laughs softly.
Lord Scragston: [Talk] *As if to make a point, Lord Scragston rolls onto his back, paws dangling in the air.*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Y'have a way with him f'sure..
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "It's a woman's way. Be glad it's not your heart she's toying with."
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] "May I... touch him now?" 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] *He chews on the end of his cigar at something whispered, thoughtfully.*
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Her hand already reached toward the dog, but was held back as she worded her question. 
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] Perhaps... Just careful wit' the soft bits. Ain't all o'em like that. And ain't exactly sure 'ow and where 'e was hurt t'most or what he gone through...
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Corners of her lips fall downward at Jeremiah's words, and Elinny nods in silence. The hesitant hand reaches further, finally reaching and landing, ever so gently, somewhere near Lord Scragston's chest. Once again, a feather-light touch. 
Lord Scragston: [Talk] *He flinches at the touch, at first, uncertain...*
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  .. Well, I'd take that, Brack. Always two sides o'the coin.
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] Elinny's hand did not flinch. It hovered only for a tick or two like that, before her fingers, with great care, scratched the dog lightly. 
Lord Scragston: [Talk] *The cunning dog as he was, in the interim, observed the egg. But he allowed himself to suffer through the misery, patiently, awaiting the golden prize..*
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "Long as you don't hurt her," he says, still smiling down at the pair and speaking lightly. "I'd have to do something unpleasant for that."
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  ... I'd 'ave t'hurt myself too if I did.
[Essie] Elinny Irnimane: [Talk] She finally rolled the egg close to the dog, murmuring softly, "Here, Lord Scragston, you've earned it."
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  ... I won't, Brack. Knowing m'luck an' misery, I'm gonna get m'self killed in some dumb way..
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Talk] He grins toothily, crossing his arms over his chest and bumping Jeremiah amiably with his shoulder.
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Whisper]  Wouldn't put her through that. She already made me promise I'll do m'best n'to get killed..
[TheShore] Jeremiah Ashford: [Talk] *He offers a grim chuckle at something spoken.*
[Caderousse] Bracken Hart: [Whisper]  "It's Ward or Rings that'll claim us eventually," and his smile only falters slightly. "Enjoy what you have while you can. But it's a noble thing to want to keep her from any pain."
