When Haven and two others were outside the tavern, and bowed as the queen passed, the attachĂ© mentioned to us in passing “the queen definitely noticed you, and appreciated the welcome.” And all I could think was “SEMPAI NOTICED ME”

Also: the amount of literal perfection that was Persephone as Queen Katherine II. I could not imagine a better monarch. My freaking NPC was speechless half the time.

Walnut puzzles with Addie, Francis, Rosie and Avy and everyone else who helped, even though we were terrible at it and the fox told us we were bad at it.

Skirmisher lessons with Bertrand where Silas and I had our arms tied to our sides and then were told to fight each other and everyone came to watch for entertainment purposes.

BEING INVITED TO PLAY PITBALL FOR THE KRACKENS and almost beating the Foxes.

After Queen Katherine got away safely, and everyone finally made it out of surgery, the town gathering around to hear Amaryllis read the remainder of the Queen’s speech. <3

Evy giving the twins a Stern Lecture about Safety for when the queen was present, getting frustrated, and then bribing them with cookies if they were well-behaved and followed instructions and didn’t blow anything up. (It worked.)

Also the cookies were super good

Bucket brigade!

Everything about the Pitball match, so excited to play against the Krakens again!

Dying side by side with Countess Northmarch trying to buy time for the queens escape.

Prudence tea time

Explaining to the queen that Vaast is in fact faast.

Being the most emotionally vulnerable Vaast has really ever been at a festival. Seriously so many amazing interactions with everyone this event, you all made my weekend!

I couldn’t possibly sing enough praises for Persephone. I went from “politics are a frivolous distraction from death’s determined march” to “yea I’d take a bullet for you” in about sixty seconds.

After pushing down the path to get the Queen to safety, leaving bodies in our wake as the Tiyagans picked us off off one by one, the Queen finally boarded the HMS Indomitable. At this point, I looked around to assess the situation. In the final clearing, there was the Queen wielding a sword, three Naval officers, and
 
 
is that someone sprawled unconscious on the ground carrying a pie??? Where did they come from, how did THEY somehow make it to the final stand, and was our last resort to just pie the Tiyagans in the face???

No plan survives first contact.

Bunkmates reminded me on Friday night that there was a rumour about writing a letter to someone you lost and leaving it in your shoe with acorns and realizing I hadn’t lost anyone, so I made up a dead girlfriend on the spot. I full-on sobbed later on Saturday about her during the rememberance ceremony.

Annaliese talking to the shadow changeling that used to be her boyfriend while walking side by side on a dark path at night while a fight is going on.
Townsperson ahead of us: “Who goes, there? Are you friend or foe?”
Annaliese, genuinely not sure how to answer: “Um, yes? Both?”
