Ornithocracy summary post
Cut for length and possible FOIP. Possible tw for possible baby-assassination, but we were just as shocked. Also, anyone have Ischarion fic prompts/impression requests?
The Good
- The Creator and Refs. ALL the credit to them.
- The System
- The sheer quality of kit, everyone just put in so much effort :D
- New larpers I’ve not met before!
- Drifting through a room completely unnoticed watching everything.
- Dondarrion the Crane: I love you, really I do… but how do you manage to get yourself into so much trouble?
- Team Riverstates: :D
- The Green: Your performances. Just wow.
- Wavefarers: …. Ischarion WILL manage to find a way to deal with Gull ‘Logic’.
- PATRONS. PATRONS ARE AWESOME.
- Kit not breaking!
- Human Dreamers are the best thing. Creeping out other people with their nightmares is even more hilarious.
- Oh god we just ran right into the plot, didn’t we?
- How did I only go down once in that fight with only 2 hits, 2 dodges and a knife?
- Staggering into KFC at 10/11pm still mostly in kit.
The Awesome
- You… you actually had Ancient Egyptian Childrens’ Card Games in character. Between a Pharaoh and a priest.
- Where you had monsters and made up the rules as you went along.
- The Crane getting into trouble whenever I left him alone for five minutes.
- The Crane made an Oath to stop a figure behind a threat, gets a blessing which allows him to insta-assassinate babies.
- Everyone (including the Crane) realising just what he’d sworn to do and the reactions that followed.
- “This is a duel to the first blood and he is bleeding from taking a sever to theneck. The duel is over, stand down.”
- The Admiral having exactly the same reaction to her Gull as I did to my Crane.
- I did two tarot readings. both were freakily accurate. The refs using the first one when the NPC returned.
- Having the Gull I did the second one for stare at me as he realised just how accurate I’d been, smiling mysteriously in response.
- The Jay finding my Stork the most scary person at the parliament and getting the exact impression I was trying to give.
- The reverse also being true.
- “Technically they’re an undead abomination, but they’repolite!”
- Herons thinking Storks are Stuffy Bastards. Storks thinking Herons are Untrustworthy Bastards. Both warily dislike each other on sight.
- End up working seamlessly and getting on well by the end.
- Me: “I was the one in the fight who was yelling ‘behind’.” Other person:”There were lots of people doing that.” Me: “No there weren’t.” Other person: “Oh.”
- I thought there was an entire group singing “O Fortuna”. It was only Fortycakes. The entire room applauded. Holy crap my boy is awesome ^_^.
The Facepalm-worthy
- Satnav takes us to within sight of the car park… on the other side of impassable bollards and a one way system.
- Transporting the mask/tippet.
- Ducks not appearing >.<
- White snazz is less helpful than expected, may have to take up Tea’s offer of Paradise next time. (Yes one of my friends is known as Tea)
- Oh god my entire body hurts.
- The event was only 7 hours long :(
