<p>All,</p>
|
||||
<p>You’ll have to forgive a rather lengthy, rambling letter. Aurel was just forked<sup id="fnref:justforked"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:justforked">1</a></sup> the four of us are sitting out in Douglas’s field along with him, E.W., Debarre, and a few other friends after a small potluck of sorts. There wasn’t any real reason for the get-together other than it’s snowy at our sim, the skunks were whining, and it’s always nice here. What started as a plan for Ioan, May, Sasha, and Douglas having a picnic blossomed on a whim to something of a party.</p>
|
||||
<p>(Some descriptions of the party; maybe SH telling two truths and a lie about others, Debarre promises fireworks, Vos and AFP set up a bar, Marsh sings a song)</p>
|
||||
<p>When we all got to talking about memories, Ioan suggested that we start compiling them into a letter just to share them with you. It’s a good day, and we should be able to share our everyday weal as well as our occasional woe.</p>
|
||||
<p>You’ll have to forgive a rather rambly sort of letter, as it’s currently being co-written by two Bălans and two skunks. Aurel was just forked,<sup id="fnref:justforked"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:justforked">1</a></sup> and the four of us are sitting out in Douglas’s field along with him, E.W., Debarre, and a few other friends after a small potluck of sorts. There wasn’t any real reason for the get-together other than it’s snowy at our sim, the skunks were whining, and it’s always nice here. What started as a plan for Ioan, May, Sasha, and Douglas having a picnic blossomed on a whim to something of a party.</p>
|
||||
<p>As parties go, it’s been a very laid back one. We all brought some food along with us — the Bălans brought <em>musaca</em>, May Then My Name made a cake, Sasha brought few roast hares, and so on — and set set up some tables out back of Douglas’s house to eat.</p>
|
||||
<p>Not to be outdone, A Finger Pointing and Vos, one of the other techs from the theatre, set up a small bar where they started making outlandish cocktails based on what they thought each of us wanted, rather than anything we asked for. They’ve had about 70% hits, 30% misses, so far, which is pretty good, all told.<sup id="fnref:rambly"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:rambly">2</a></sup> May currently has a drink that seems to be something between melted chocolate ice cream and brandy. It’s quite good, but so rich that we can all only handle small sips of it at a time. Ioan got stuck with a vodka and soda water. One of those “why bother?” drinks. Are the Bălans really so boring as to suggest vodka sodas?</p>
|
||||
<p>A Finger Pointing’s up-tree instance, Where It Watches The Slow Hours Progress, played a baffling…party trick on us earlier that I think some are still recovering from. She suggested we play “two truths and a lie with a twist” and, after May explained what “two truths and a lie” was, we all agreed.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, the twist is that she went around and, for each of us, told us two things that will probably happen in the near future and one thing that definitely wouldn’t, then set us to discussing which of ours we thought was the lie. None of the things she said were all that big or prophetic, and certainly none were cruel or sad, but while the conversation that ensued was quite lively, it wasn’t exactly fun, either.</p>
|
||||
<p>She looked quite proud of herself. It was all very Odist.</p>
|
||||
<p>Marsh, Vos’s partner, broke the ice by singing a song while Douglas played along on flute. It was beautiful and I think all of us have made a point to hunt them down for more music in the future. They also embody a lot of some vague gender thoughts that Ioan and Aurel have been talking about of late, so they’ll have some thinking to do.</p>
|
||||
<p>Debarre has promised us firework. He only really needs one to impress, so we’re all looking forward to it.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we all got to talking about memories, Ioan suggested that we share more with the clade than just the big events and difficult emotions. It’s a good day, and we should be able to share our everyday weal as well as our occasional woe.</p>
|
||||
<p>(May: Clade is fading in preparation)</p>
