*Channels a flow of air to hold the Nae'blis's fingertips nearly two feet above her smaller frame* 

Yes, of course my Lord. 😉

*coming back into a formal hold, Del smiled at him as they continued twirling under the twinkling lights, and flickering shadows* 

Have I ever seen you... dripping wet at the Moat? 💦

*eyes widen as I curtsy low* 

Yes, please, uhhh I... I would be honored to dance with you, my Lord.

*Stepping forward into the Nae'blis' arms I take up position for the dance, smiling up into the... flicker... Algai's?.... flicker.... face * 

My Lord, where are you hiding?

LOL well no i feel like there needs to be an incident....

 

 

haha thanks del i totally do need it.

Sure thing! and uhh..  we could create an incident.... FoF isn't over yet!  

Happy Birthday Cross! 🤎 I have a feeling you'll be needing this! *grins* 

*grins at the... flicker.... stranger* I admit you do seem oddly familiar. 🥂 

Actually, so many of these people do, don't you think? Like that handsome one coming over here now....🎭 Who is that I wonder?

Welcome Lord Eben! Hope you didn't get caught by our slowed boards yesterday!  It will be lovely to see you around and get to know you! Some of the best stuff is at the bottom of the boards so be sure to scroll allll the way down!  🥂

And check out the Feast of Fools events on the community boards before we bring them to an end. You can be anything from the books, which is why the signatures are a bit odd at the moment! 🎭

These two statements together are truly balms to the heart when it hurts. And both are so beautifully articulated here. Grief is love unexpressed and there is a strange (and beautiful) therapy in sadness. Even down to considering the healing composition of tears and the chemical changes in our bodies and brains during long hugs and snuggles. Which is perhaps why we are also fond of them around here. We all end up bearing so much in our lives, the comfort of those people and places we can count on become real lifelines as we try to navigate the receiving and releasing that is constantly going on. 🤍

So truly spoken *hugs her Sis*

 It was certainly our Bond that helped bring me back here! *Grins and hugs back* I did miss you in particular so desperately! Late night chats about.... salt baths and things. lmao! 

It is pretty wonderful getting to know people from different times on DM. It really is like the books. We take vows to always remember this as our family and to always return. It has felt that way to me through the years. Like the books, we go out into the world and then return again. Sometimes to stay.❄️🤍😉

Our Bonds, especially our Gaidin, really are a part of us. 🤍 No matter the distance between you or time of the day you start to think the same, text randomly at the same times, feel the need to connect in the same moment. You close your eyes and you can feel each other like you are closer than the same breath. You know what the other is thinking and sometimes even feel it. You know when you need each other, even if you don't know how. A day without them can feel like forever and years apart can vanish in an instant when you feel their presence again. It's like no connection I have known. When it's gone, it's like a black hole is ripped through you. It never seems to heal but you wouldn't change it for the world. 💔

Something truly magic happens on these boards when we Bond deliberately and with genuine feeling. 🤍 I have a sad too, Sister. *snuggles* 🥲

As she dances with the delightful young man, Elgee notices a new arrival. And what an arrival it is!

 

"Thank you, daaaaahling," she drawls at the young man, then saunters over to the absolutely stunning (and quite well armoured!) new arrival.

 

"Hello there ... "

Hello lovely! *snags two glasses of champagne from a passing servent and hands one to... is that?... * 

Your outfit tonight is to die for! Are you enjoying the party?  *grins and toasts the stranger, wondering at how she knows her and she can seem so familiar at the same time....* 🎭 🥂

As Siera's dice falls, my own flaming dice rolls.... 

Oh Siera, the Dark One rolls a 6.... 

Suddenly, Siera and Heavy flicker, flicker...... between places. Heavy finds himself holding the next ball as Siera ends up perched on the ledge as her own ball falls into the water.... 

Good luck next time! 😉

I slice open a gateway into another street view and step through before letting it close behind me. 

Appears halfway between the dunk tank and the stack of balls where Lily is standing, tossing a flaming D10 up and down in my palm.

Oh! Good shot, Lily! 💦 Who would like to try their luck next? 

A gateway opens off to one side of the ball room and slices the tray of a nearby server in half. I glance at him, and the mess and shake my head as I step though, my dress for the evening a carefully chosen white to represent my Ajah flickering, flickering and finally settling on Black. 

Handing the pair of weapons, what odd things to be holding, to the shocked looking servant I glance at all the broken glass on the floor. 

You’d best get someone to clean that up…. 

Thank you so much for doing these! They are really wonderful!

*Twirls to show off how it looks* 

And it's awesome that you are in the Guild area again. 

This has been added to the main thread. 🖤

Happy New Year!

Your pack has missed you!    Always your pup, after all! *grins* Seeing all the exciting things you have been doing, and your joy increasing, has been wonderful. 🤍 You are, and always have been, such a beautiful human being. It will be an honor to get to know you again. 

And I hope that bit of me you carry around is waking up so you can feel how happy I am you are here.🤍 🤍

Welcome to the Feast of Fools Flicker Ball and Street Fair!

I am Delenn, Mistress of… Dreams and Nightmares. Please come join us as we celebrate another Turning of the Wheel.

Tonight the Lord of Chaos does indeed rule as all roles you might have enjoyed here at Dragonmount are now… altered. However you arrived, you have now been… changed. Perhaps it’s just your true face showing through, as you transform into your new role in this realm He has opened. Have you become Wolfkin, or Ogier? Perhaps the Black Tower has drawn you and now you are Dedicated, or even an Asha’man? Are you a White Cloak wanting to ask that Aes Sedai to dance? Whatever you find yourself as, the Great Lord has made you… for now. So, I suggest you enjoy the gifts the Great Lord has left for you all!

Remember to arrive on your best behavior, and dress to impress with one of our custom made signatures by Boopsy.

He is watching you... 😉

I like this idea! So here is a dark quote for the New Year. 
 

We got this mug for my partner's dad, who is visiting. Apparently, they can read this!  

This is a really good description of how it felt for me as well. Another turning, ok. *sniffles* As long as the world continues I will probably find ways to justify any oddities. I just love it that much, I don't mind anymore. Just going with it.... *grins* 

I think perhaps a G, please? Maybe we'll get more than one, Dark Lady....

I was once a member, years ago, like more than 15, don't know my old password and email though. . 

Hiya! Welcome back! That was just about when I was around. 2006~2008 time frame. Do you remember your old handle? We might be able to track you down again, I helped make the guest lists and the old members we couldn't find was long! 🤍  

In the meantime, pull up a chair! What do you remember from when you were here? Or even who?☕
