My first favorite moment also comes with a quote.
Context: As the carnival was winding down, Isadora thanked August for his company that evening, and invited him to her birthday breakfast the next morning. She told him she hadn’t written him an invitation because they hadn’t known each other especially well before this festival. He asked what she would like for a gift, and after some back and forth argument…
Isadora: “The invitations explicitly said no gifts are expected.”
August: “Ah, but I didn’t receive an invitation!”
…she couldn’t really argue with that one.
Honestly that entire evening was lovely. August was Isadora’s personal hero in game, and Rafael was my personal hero out of game, for the reason of him fetching me chairs for my poor back.

The sheer number of people Isadora got to gossip with about her answers from the fortune teller, and the (spiritualist?) seance leader’s eerily related commentary.
I try to avoid gossip in real life out of respect for people’s privacy. My little secret is I actually love gossip. Isadora is such a gossip and it is so much fun, thank you everyone who indulged her, most especially Rukiye and Matthias Alizé.

(In the tavern at 11 pm, Veran having just informed us of Blackheart’s attack)
Amity: Captain Ferris. What’s the plan?
Lily: We should. Um. We need fight them? Organize a… fight?
Amity: Captain, may I make a suggestion?
Lily: Please.
Amity: Let me handle this.
Lily: PLEASE.
(This was followed up the next day with what essentially amounted an intervention from Amity, James Corvid, Lilywhite, and Czeslawa for Lily’s “17 hours of active military duty & bodyguarding” lifestyle)

- Practicing boxing in the middle of the Tavern
- Watching, and winning, the Boxing match
- sucker "punch"ing Lillywhite during a morning warm-up sparing match (flat of the blade, of course)
Boxing might be my new favorite Kithiran sport…

- Complaining defensively about the bits of the fortune teller that hit too close to home for Lily. (She said my finger nails indicate I’m an unpleasant person!)
- Storming the hill to the cabins to rescue Jeremy and Jack Light from revenants with Kleis, only for both of us to almost die.
- Signing up to play The Faithless Wife (“you just walk on stage with your husband, then later walk on stage with the betraying manservant”) only to end up in the new hit play, The Montgomery Chronicles.
- Had a really good moment when Jack Light finally decided he trusted Lily enough to join the militia but the context will take too long to explain in a bulleted list.
- Surgery Complication buddies!

It was so much fun. I was in as soon as I realized there would be improv, but it exceeded my wildest expectations.

I broke character so hard. Only time in the game someone made me laugh hard enough to break character.

I think the final fight on Saturday night was great, because we were so heavily outmatched and in trouble that it was probably the first time that Tashif felt true terror since arriving on the island.
That first really major(?) loss is gonna change some stuff I think.

Lilywhite: “I haven’t heard Ravil’s voice in nearly 10 minutes. I’m pretty sure they’re dead.”
Basically everyone’s reactions to Ravil getting their voice stolen; special shout-outs to Kleis, Adrian as Fionne, Rukiye, and my fellow sufferers in silence.

I’m so sad I missed the Saturday night fight, I hope someone will give a full recap! (Elsewhere though)
More favorite moments:
-
Annaliese being flustered by Lilywhite’s performance
-
Showing Avy and Stev where the library was… or trying to and then fleeing from a large number of scarecrow creatures
-
Avy and Matthias’ nervous looks when Isadora explained the lesson for Power Cycling.
-
“It’s nothing to worry about, the Artificers are just blowing themselves up.”

I honestly have no memory of what happened Friday night after my game on mod, but I know I had a lot of fun, so there have to be some favorite moments in there somewhere!

“Root”
“Parry”
“Uh, that was a packet, I don’t think you can parry those. Aren’t you a skirmisher, can’t you take that as a strike?”
“HOLY SHIT I’VE NEVER HAD A REASON TO DO THAT BEFORE! REDUCE!”

Heavily paraphrased:
“Anyone want to buy some Hallucinogen?”
“YES” (multiple people)
“… I wasn’t expecting this much demand.”

A similar thing happened to me that morning, when someone pointed at a bunch of us and said “fireball”, everyone dropped while I blankly said in confusion, “uhh…reduce?”.
It’s a great skill that very rarely gets used, but you feel awesome when it does.

My brain appears to be dispensing these in chunks every few hours, so here’s some more!
- Crawling under a table while Peter distracted the carny running the ring toss to disarm a bomb.
- Discovering that the bomb was at approximately “F U SUCKER” levels of difficulty, failing, and hiding under the table until an opportunity to escape presented itself, while hoping it didn’t go off.
- A ghost berating its body’s revenant for dirtying up the place
