Shaliene Woodley does a great job in The Secret Life of the American Teenager of being a teen girl who is under a ton of stress because of a ton of life issues. Like parents are having marriage issues, she pregnant, the whole school is crazy. Like sooo many issues and it makes me care greatly for the amount of girls who went through, are going through and will go through teen pregnancies. And in light of the turn over of Roe v Wade there are going to be even more teen girls and women all over.
Three years is but a blink of an eye for most of the longer lived races. We have settled into a beautiful state of peace free of the wars that have plagued our people for far too long. So much was lost and the heartbreak made so many numb to the cascade of tragedies that befell Azeroth. Now that we are able to breathe a little easier, there are those who wish to honor the great gift that was given to our people. Hope for a new beginning for the Kaldorei. Join us in celebrating the life of those we lost, and in honoring those brave souls who endured the Maw and then sacrificed their eternal peace in Ardenweald to fuel a seed of hope for our people.
Community Feast
This event will start off with a casual community feast. We encourage participants to bring their favorite food and/or drink to add to the menu and share with those who gather. This part of the evening is purely social, meant for mingling, eating, drinking, and enjoying the company of friends, both new and old.
Wrestling Matches
What better way to work off a big meal than to enjoy feats of strength and endurance? Sign ups will be open to participate in a series of wrestling matches. This is a bracketed brawl, so spots will be limited. Please contact <Shaliene> for more information and to join the roster! Prize: 20k in-game gold. (Must be MG to accept winnings.)
Archery Tournament
Feats of strength and endurance? Now we have feats of arms and precision! For all the marksman, hunters, rangers, bowmen, Sentinels, and more! Not looking to do hand to hand? Better at ranged attacks? This is the activity for you. Sign ups are open. Please contact anchors to add your name to the competitor's roster. Prize: 20k in-game gold. (Must be MG to accept winnings.)
Lantern Vigil
A bittersweet and beautiful end to the evening. Join your fellow participants in a short walk to an overlook. There we will light paper lanterns and send them into the night sky, honoring the fallen and all those we lost. Lanterns and Inky Black Potions will be provided by the hosts so that all can participate.
This event is a Kaldorei roleplay event. While allies are welcome, because of what we are celebrating, we are asking for Alliance participation only.
It remembered a sterile white environment. Guided by hands that were sometimes gentle, and sometimes rough, but always careful. It remembered pain when it failed, but reward when it succeeded. It remembered routine. It remembered safety and it remembered home.
But this was not home. This was not sterile white and it was not safety and there were no hands guiding it and there was no pain or reward.
It was just it. And it didn’t like that. It didn’t like the broken glass of its pod, or the unfamiliar sounds and smells. And it didn’t like that no one was answering its cries.
In the lab when it cried someone was always there to show it what to do.
But here- was someone here. There were many someones here.
Its head, blank of features, snapped towards the sound. It listened, and realized that yes, those many someones and those many someones were coming closer.
Its head snapped around, scanning the environment before it tumbled forward and morphed, body changing in shape and color and texture until it looked like something that was unassuming.
It was something hard and cold and greyish and it was in a pile with a bunch of other hard and greyish things.
“Are you telling me it’s already gone?”
“Yes sir. There doesn’t seem to be any form of life around.”
“It landed less than a few minutes ago! How could it already of disappeared!”
“If it took off running as soon as it could, sir, then it’s possible it could have gone a long distance. We don’t know what was supposed to be in this thing.”
“Well scan the area again! And get me anything you can from that pod to tell me what we might be dealing with here!”
