Message 2 of 3 on *High Reaches (#3155): Date: Wed Sep 26 19:18:05 2007 CDT From: Pyrene (#11964) To: *High Reaches (#3155) Subject: Even less good things must come to an end
The harsh High Reaches winters can often be fatal for the elderly and infirm, but even those who consider themselves in good health should be careful with a cold. Good advice, but it went unheeded by Pyrene, retired weyrwoman to Cadgwith, who continued about her daily business despite the chesty cough that she picked up on her commute across the bowl. Finally, a healer heard her coughing and frogmarched her to the infirmary. Pneumonia was diagnosed and treated, but she declined swiftly. A few days later, the dragons keened the passing of Cadgwith, and the Weyr lost a resident of forty turns tenure. Reportedly, mere hours before she died, Pyrene was still berating the healers for making such a fuss over a cold.
Pyrene is survived by two children. Cadgwith is survived by, er, many.
OOCly, this is a hard goodbye to make. Pyrene was my first M* character, and she and HRW have been a fantastic experience throughout. I created her 3rd July 1998, so it's been nine years of my life (eight of them on staff) and forty years of hers. Suffice to say, I've a lot of memories both on camera and behind the scenes, although sadly most of those I shared them with won't be reading this. Thanks to those of you who I have shared the experience with, and to those of you who don't know me, I apologise for my inactivity over the past few years--as farewells go, this one is overdue. Finally, I'd like to pay tribute to HRW@HT, my online home for these nine years. One of the first of the M*ing weyrs to have IC authority separate from OOC authority, this place has housed some of the greatest players out there and has an intricate on-camera history. Long may it continue.
