janestarzIgnis, a mutual friend and larper of Voltar, NoKey and me, had finished her study and received her title as physician. She now is officially Doc Ignis. So she had to celebrate. In a boyscout's shed, with a lot of larpers, and a few non-larpers. Everyone had to come in costume and the lady of the ball shone in a black velvet dress and a crown not outshining her smile. It was great to see her so happy.
The party was fun too. Voltar was wearing leather armor, NoKey wore his Elrond tunic and elven ears, while I wore the Tempelion tunic (white cotton with blue jersey sleeves). There was food, some zombie-fighting, a blackjack table, and when some people had left, some song. Ignis was publicly bullied in a good-humoured fashion
"Ignis Ignis she's our man
If she can't do it no-one can".
Fluff-Fluff was there, ofcourse, with his lighter brother or maybe son. Hugging everyone. Hehe. Brian, Mark, Pluis doing the Captain Jack thing while marching around in chainmail. Fluffy holding 'Ignis' (Bas of 200 cm tall with a blond heidi-wig) captive. "oh help help me!". The chainmailed heroes fighting Fluffy and dying in the process, before Ignis killed him herself. That's her allright ;-)
I spoke to a lot of friends there. Sorry I didn't see Maglok there, but Daredevil and Catweesil + GF were there. As well as Rembrandt and Suus from the basken. Sebastiaan and Linda, Jeroen and Laura, Julian, Aap, Willem, Thomas, Brian, Erwin, Aileen, Asterix and GF, Ohno, Argh, Malor and Chili, Bas and GF, Esther and Pluis, Mark and Josianne (haai Joos! *waves frantically*, Mark and Yvonne, Ivonne, etc. A lot of people I knew there, and few that I didn't like. Very few indeed.
So I was huggled a lot. Which was good.
Too bad there wasn't any wood for the fireplace, Argh and I went to scout but couldn't find any. I played some blackjack (Ignis used to work in the casino) and broke the bank together with Julian and Bas a couple of times. I also was bank for a while, which was fun. My brains didn't work too well that late at night.
There was a contest for Ignis' hand, and Daredevil had enrolled NoKey and me as "Fladder". We kind of overdid it on the fairy front there. We were sort of siamese fairies. He said "der" when I said "Flad" so that it came out as "Flad" "der". Very annoying indeed. We didn't have to fight, but dance. I cut in on Brian and Ignis, and took Ignis from Brians hands while NoKey and Brian tango'd. That was funnn.
I didn't drink any alcohol, but was very reluctant to go to sleep. When the crowds thinned a bit NoKey grabbed his Takamine (the most beautiful guitar ever) and he played. We sang songs with eachother, and NoKey and I often did the singing in harmony thing, which went WELL beyond hope. I didn't even screw up all of the time!
After singing, I talked with Rembrandt a bit, when NoKey and Voltar talked outside for a while. Then we went to bed, softly not to wake the others. I slept soooo badly. The whole night I was on the verge of being cold, and thus not sleeping very well. In the middle of the night Erwin came to bed. He turned on the lights (I lay on my back so the bright light woke me up instantaneously, imagine waking up to staring into a tl-light!) and clogged in his boots on the wooden floor.
Later that morning NoKey and I semi-woke up and I crawled onto his air matrass. I heard from NoKey that Erwin later complained to us that we made noise! Sheesj.
When we finally got out of bed late the next morning we had breakfast and helped clean up. I sweeped the dorm and we cleaned the toilets. I think the place was cleaner after the party than before. With Ignis in the lead, we rode to Yvonne and Mike's pad where we had a Drachenfest meeting.
The total group will be twenty, and that's about as far as we'll go. What we're going to do exactly is still secret. But it's going to be SO cool. The meeting was very orderly, but fun too, and we all had fun. We'll have a close clan, with our own little plot, and I'm going to be priest/diplomat. Sort of high councilor to the 'clan chief'.
After the meeting we butsted a bit, where Pluis hit me in the face. Vincent also had butsed me with a 200 cm dai-katana (sp?), and tried an (illegal) overhead blow to the neck, which luckily I had blocked. Too bad I didn't block Pluis' hit. Ah well, it was mostly shock, I think he hit me with the flat side of the (thank-god-its-rubber) sword, and it's not blue or swollen at all.
At five we jumped into Voltars car and zombied back to Rotterdam. Blissful sleep came after cauliflower dinner and a hootttt shower.

And Jane... *waving back and blinking* we still need to talk about this friends list...

dai-katana (sp?)
That is how I have always seen it spelled (or as just 'dai katana'), but since it is a Japanese word transliterated, your guess is really as good as mine.
