Pimping Virtuosic Performances
Most writers of journals use them to talk mainly about themselves… and this one is no different. For today however, instead of going on about how wonderful I am, I want to draw attention and praise to two other exiles and my admiration at how well each of them does just what they do.
First up, Geotzou’s kudzu ability. Well no surprises there to anyone that has ever hunted with him, Geotzou’s accuracy and innovation in his use of kudzu have already made him legend. On a recent valley trip however he surpassed himself. We had been hit hard by a backspawn and the unfallen remnants of our group were huddled in a safe cave waiting for the other survivors to arrive so we could heal up. Next thing we new, Geo was yelling at us to come outside. We found this difficult to believe but warily we emerged to find that he had set up one of the best zu shields you’ve ever seen and in no time flat to. I recorded a visionstone of it here because it was too large to fit into a single picture.
Our group admires Geo’s green thumb
Nice work, Geotzou. Props.
The second person I want to pimp for performed the single best chaining performance I’ve ever seen. Our group was in the volcanoey part of Metzetli Island when Afrit, our brick, got badly poisoned and the group wiped. Not all at once, mind you. We managed to scatter ourselves over at least three snells. I was fortunate enough to end up next to Creed so at least I would have someone to talk to but in a situation like that I started counting my coins and preparing myself for a long wait. Sunstone messages begun to flash but the only person who said he would come to our aid was Bastion. As brave and plucky as Bastion is, and as thankful as I was that was for him drawing attention to our plight. I seriously doubted he was up to rescuing all of us from so deep in, without even any details regarding where on Metz we were.
With no warning whatsoever that he was on his way, I suddenly heard a yell from the other side of the snell. It was Bulgatra and he was alone, armed with only a chain and his best pair of running shoes. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture of him in action until after we hit the sea, but it had to be the nimblest, dodgingest, most accurate chaining performance you’re ever likely to see. He didn’t miss a single group member spread, as I said, across multiple snells. It wasn’t quiet for him either. He had vile crickets, Rudremau kittens and all varieties of cobra chasing him down from every direction but somehow not only did he grab our whole group solo in the middle of this veritable swarm, he was still a healthy white by the time he got out. Amazing stuff and big ups to Bulgatra too.
Perhaps the most redundant yell of all time. Another Obvia ledger holder.
I couldn’t compete a journal entry without hyping myself up for some bravura performance in something though. I don’t have the talent of Geotzou or Bulgatra but at least I have moxie and chutzpah, so here’s a picture of me cracking on to three women simultaneously. Enjoy!
