Event Review: Lights in the Hollow

[Lilith Caia]

I think that was an absolutely wonderful game. I am pretty biased, though.

Pros:
- During my NPC shift, I was constantly being sent out as things. Very little wasted time, and people were sweet enough to avoid keeping us over time
- Dan's weird obsession with fake blood continues, and all that awesome nonsense
- Getting to play not-Lilith was neat
- Just in general the Hawkespur plot was dope
- AND THERE WAS SINGING
- Dustin makes a rad ass demon (I was nearly totally fucked during both fights; I am all bravado)
- Namor, Maxi, Reginald and Ember were so lovely to hang out with/are so fucking weird once you get to know them. Looking forward to working with y'all weirdos
- "Yes hello I am a travelling masseuse true fae here to give free massages for my massage training exam"
- The church of Ryiak is hysterical
- I didn't expect to cry, but ten times more than that, I didn't expect Brent to cry. It was adorable
- There was hand sanitiser in the bathrooms. FUCK YEAH!
- Matty has picked up the very high bar of Mage's Tower mods and done an excellent job
- The potatoes
- I don't remember a single too-hard swing this game (well, for the small amount I was in combat), which is a huge improvement over two years ago
- Make up was excellent
- Leodin is hysterical, and definitely not charmed
- Poor Zaydesh. Poor Lamalas
- I loved the fae ruins mod. It was hard as fuck. People died. It was scary and oh my goodness fae are tricky, who knew? I like danger and deaths. It keeps things moving and adrenaline-filled. None of it was 'unfair'. It was just really hard.
- On that note, dying! I liked my death dream, and how it happened was a lovely death
- I'm both extremely happy and extremely sad about Ziggy
- Alfric playing music!!
- Leon's new character (sorry, I forget his name) and his magical theory stuff. I love rapping magical theory
- The ghost plot: I love how each of the ghosts had a particular interesting puzzle to solve
- The catalyst that Nylon ended up with
- The rep attached to the catalyst that Nylon ended up with
- The results of my augury were super cool
- Brainstorming with Reginald and company for a solid hour afterwards about what the fuck was going on
- Taking a nap on the couch in Emberside was super fucking comfy
- +++
- So many personal plot thingies going out for people
- Being sent out as a backstory NPC and screaming at... the wrong PC, it turns out. Whoops
- Thank fucking god that Charm works on Redcaps

Cons:
- Max got sick

But seriously, Shapers, why are you all so obsessed with sleeping under tables in NPC camp? There are even spare bunks in Sapper!
