In this weather, makes sense

hi

Sorry, was AFK. How goes?

hi!

Hey! I've been grading papers, so back and forth between screens.

SYMON SIGHTING! WOO-HOO!!!

I know, right?

Dagmar needs a New Plan to deal with that lousy leprechaun, though

Always after her lucky charms!

Seriously. Sylvi has Things To Say to Symon.

Hey, Shady!

Hey Rahne, did you see about the EK Crown?

No, what happened?

Petitioning to do rapier for crown!

"Why Fencing?
Rapier has the number of participants, depth of experience, and one-on-one competition structure that means this change can be implemented within the existing crown tournament structure. It is an incremental, yet significant change.
How will Crown Tournament be different?
To use rapier instead of armored combat in a crown tournament, the only change required is one-to-one substitution of rapier for armored (rattan) combat. No other changes will be made."

this seems key, and possibly a tiny fuck you

Because Rapier doesn't change SHIT except breaking up the monopoly of the Chiv

I heard something about this being muttered for a while, but I guess it's finally going to curia? Cool.

What did Symon do??

I think I'm pretty much done with the SCA as an organization, though. Maybe. I'm not sure. I first turned to it after FALO started falling apart as a way to make more friends among like-minded folks. But while FALO was all about the story-making, the SCA is all about "am I good enough?" to get this title or that recognition, and it's just not all that healthy for me. I'll still do Pennsic and some other events, but I think that's it.

Rae, where do I begin? 😉

No, Sylvi's got information for him that she's been trying to deliver since the summer. But SOMEBODY was busy.

Give him a break! I was busy too. I mean, in his defense, please take into consideration the course load of a med major

;)

I'm writing a letter to the BOD in support of it!

SO many corpses to poke

I hope you keep doing Pennsic because I like seeing you in person, fwiw

Haven't missed a Pennsic since I started. Don't plan on missing any in the near future.

I saw a very Symon meme the other day.

“Is there a doctor in the house?!”
“…I’m a necromancer, if you don’t mind waiting a bit.”

Ha!

Ha! That's hilarious!

Snerk

Anne Marie is gonna SPLODE with gossip when she gets the news

Dag got free of a pre-chrysalis oath...

I think by virtue of chains of fealty, she does have to listen to Hemlock

Well, she has to listen to Brekke, who expects her to follow Hemlock's instructions as well.

Fair

Not sure if she'd get hit if she openly defied Hemlock if Brekke weren't involved/without an explicit order to obey him

Exactly. I think by virtue of rank she might find it very hard to do, but it wouldn't be a matter of oathbreaking, I think.

yeah, she's not likely to, but, well, stuff happens

Of course!

Have you seen Black Panther?

Thank goodness Brekke isn't here to see Siv stroking her chin

Like - poor Okoye when Killmonger took the throne by the rules, and she was sworn to the throne and not T'Challa

SUCH a trollish conflict!
