      Sending the blindfold that Volya wore in the very very first event he was in to Khanne who was his blindfolded partner. There was a poignant message he sent her. It felt like the culmination of two years.

      I wish I had played Volya more on Arx. Her was a great character.

        I was super happy to be included in the Pyrite scene. I’ve been kind of meh on Esme for probably this whole year. It got to check some of her more ‘outlandish’ wants – like to fly. She got to wield magic which has been a goal for five years or so. I’m good with all of that. I’m good with her story.

        As to the people, there is just NO WAY I could sum up scenes with laughter and tears through the years. Including writing a book about Norwood (loosely based upon) that spawned a whole bakery series. LOL. Or spending one Blood Moon making up futures and fortunes for people. Or swooning in a first scene and being carried around. Or millions of other ones.

        So everyone I’ve interacted with in a positive way/scened with. You were/are the good things in mushing.

            Yes, that was me walking around as Juliana Pravus with dice telling fortunes and taking secrets.

              Honestly, the ending times at Arx have been such a positive community experience. Even people that I’ve never really jived with - it doesn’t matter, everyone is in this together, I love watching all the big event scenes, seeing years of play hit these culminating points. Obviously nothing is perfect, but the feel of being part of a community and all of us caring about the same ending is really powerful and a great note for a game I’ve played on for a long time to go out on. Thanks to everyone for vibing. ❤

              P.S. BAT!!!

              let it be a challenge to you

                Joining a new game and battling the social anxiety of having a scene with people I’m not familiar with. And it all going well!

                I’m one of those people who is constantly frightened of venturing into unknown territory. I do it! But it’s scary af so it’s nice when it pays off.

                  I have never smoked cigarettes IRL. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve even smoked pot. Cigarettes in real life are smelly, they make people and places smelly, and I would not want to date a smoker.

                  BUT.

                  For some reason, I love RPing a smoker. I love the visuals of it. I haven’t gotten to do it in a good while but I have one again and it just makes me happy.

                    @Roz I’m a former smoker, and I only started RPing smokers so I’d have something for my character to do that wasn’t talking. I’m still terrible at flicking between motion/action and dialogue. They’ll talk talk talk talk, break, do several things, then talk talk talk talk some more.

                      @Roz I think its the same reason that so many great stage and screen characters smoke, and the same reason @Pavel mentioned – it’s a great thing to do with your hands. You can alter how it’s done to indicate emotion, distraction, pain, or something else, and it’s something to //do//.

                      I remember hearing somewhere that people on stakeouts or casing a joint often smoke, because no one questions (questioned?) a smoker standing outside in front of a building, but if you’re lingering around doing nothing, it’s suspicious.

                        A few other reasons why smoking is handy for stakeouts:

                        • Nicotine works as a stimulant that’s easier to maintain than coffee, with fewer trips to the bathroom needed
                        • It works to keep hunger pangs to a minimum, which means even fewer bathroom trips and support mechanics for long hours
                        • By covering the “cherry” you can cut the visual profile down to nearly nothing, although the smell is sometimes a problem
                        • Most smokers ignore other smokers unless they need a light
                        • You can use a cigarette balanced between two fingers lengthwise to keep yourself awake; the cigarette, upon burning down, scorches into the meat of the finger and jolts someone awake
                        • It’s an easy reason to hang out by loading docks, security doors, and major entryways, while spare-changing will draw unwanted attention

                        To name a few reasons of the many.

                          I used to date a smoker and while I never smoked myself, I kinda enjoyed the culture of it.

                          Then I married him and he quit 😁

                            One of my favorite, most fun characters I ever RPed was my bulldog prosecutor lady who was an unrepentant chain smoker.

                              We are obviously overlooking the main reason to play a smoker… the ability to set your annoyance’s stuff on fire.

                              Right?

                              Is this just me?

                                I played smokers because that was during the time where I was still smoking myself. And man…I really miss smoking and RPing sometimes. It really helped me think. Holding a pen while I construct a pose just isn’t the same.

                                  @Testament Yeah, I am with you on this one. I used to RP smoking all the time as a former smoker. Now I find that RPing smoking is one of the few things that gives me big cravings again so I just stopped, but I kinda miss RPing about it, weirdly.

                                    I loved RPing smokers but fuckin’ hated smoking cigarettes the few times I gave them a try as an adult, so I was genuinely baffled the entire time even as I had fun with it.

                                    truly, we are a diverse lot, lol.
