So, I had a weird conversation with Thorn, who had a weird conversation with Elmasry, and I guess I'm going to announce some stuff. Which I know is hilarious, me being trusted with announcements. A lack of qualifications can't slow me down, though. Anyway, here we go, get ready for a list.

• Getting those Christmas trees! The traditional thing where we ride out on horses and cut down some trees for the Lodge is going to be happening again next month! Equestrian Club can get in on it, too. Weekend overnight in the snow, you all know how it goes.


• LARP outreach? Apparently certain people have been acting curious about the mysterious and esoteric life of Live Action Role Players. So, because of this, I guess Thorn and Elmasry are going to see about January or February's camping trip including LARP? Like, ages ago we talked about this, Levi, and now it's happening! You should go talk to Thorn if you have any ideas about what to do when we take all you nerds out into the real woods.


• What goes on in LARP anyway? Are you all still kissing one another? I bet you are. Scandalous.

So, how was my delivery? Good use of bullet points? Solid highlighter choice?

[OOC: Little swords have been drawn over the previous plain dots for bullet points.]

Why is it that this country insists on banning all of the good things? Kinder Surprises, kreteks, and now Kolinsky sable brushes.

Is LARP like an RL MMORPG? Is there PvP? What's the deal?

I love the Divination tower, it is so nice and so relaxing! Mr. Chettri is very kind to let me stay there, sometimes.

Did anybody see him waving from the Tower today? I wish I knew who he was waving to, he seemed so happy!


Are we going to have visitors always at LARP now?

I feel rather guilty for having enjoyed our bonding activity this month. I hope there will be similarly intellectually-focused activities in the future, minus the dubious context.

And yes, I'm aware I'm 'behind the times' as far as commenting on it goes, but I wasn't sure what, if anything, to say. I've come to the conclusion that it's hardly my place to comment on the politics of the thing, but I did have fun, of a sort, and that's worth thanking Laurel for, if nothing else. So thank you, Laurel.
