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.

Pyrene (signing off from the MOO, but not severing ties. Feel free to keep in touch--enough people know how to find me)

Dec. 11th, 2006 @ 07:51 pm Hatching in the first turn of the interval!
Here's the log of last night's Hatching, occuring in the autumn of the first turn of the 10th Interval.

15 candidates; 8 dragons; 2 hours - do we even need the spam warning? I d/c twice, but as far as I know, I'm not missing any poses.

Everyone who put money on people dying leeeans forward )

Another OOC log (I really have done some RP too--just... not much). The colour seminar for the current Search at HRW. A rather waffly one with a big discourse on Interval.

On request, here is the infamous "Hatch Sikkyen's" mav that happened during a Hatching a few years ago.

Sao, Vaeli and I did an egg touching today and along the way realised that we have one heck of a scary clutch. Actually, this is probably the most enjoyable egg-touching I've ever done. Candidates involved are Airam, Cheyanna, Khalylai, Meerak, Micail and Xayna.

I think I caught all the poses and egg-emits, but I did d/c twice. If anybody notices that I'm missing anything and can provide what is missing, please say!

Py runs into Nissa again, and this time she Searches her. Only she's really rather nasty to her first. A wee bit of newly arrived candidate Micail at the end.

I find I'm enjoying retired-Py far more than I should. *smirk*

Log from today, as we kick off the candidate collecting. I brought Kadi into the scene to use, but Siannen logged on just then and agreed to emit her for the rest of it. Also featuring Mailli, on a visit to peek at the eggs.

Cadgwith has her 3rd PC clutch. Since these events are no longer on-camera (huzzah!) the RP consisted of a feast in the LC. I arrived late because Vaeli and I were wrestling with the egg-object, which wasn't working the way it was supposed to. No, really. Ahem. Anyway, a quick sleepy bit of RP with Iliad and Xayna.

A tiny and completely trivial scene, but very satisfying nonetheless. Unusually for RP, it feels like it's got a beginning, middle and end. Pyrene, Siannen and Pinvine have lunch while the newly-arrived Nissa waits on them.

A frosty reception )

I post this with all the pride of a ledge vulture who has RPed twice in two days! I am old and pathetic. Humour me. Also, it's pretty likely that Pyrene wrote something about these events to Pidge, so he may want to assume he knows what happened in a confused sort of way....

Starts with Iliad, Cailyn and Ryan, with Shazi and Lanti dropping in later.

After two weeks of saying I'm going to, I actually do drag Pyrene out of her weyr to RP with somebody. I need to do more of this, because right now Py doesn't have a lot of material for conversation.

Oct. 10th, 2006 @ 06:52 pm A flight!
Cadgwith's latest flight, and for her third PC clutch.

I'd had a rotten day RL and the last thing I wanted to do was RP, let alone flight RP which I always find difficult to get into. Many thanks to the chasers who allowed me to keep it short and sweet.

And last night on Harper's Tale, the end of the Pass was announced. When I started playing 8 years ago (!), I figured out how long it would be in RL years and how old Pyrene would be and came to the conclusion that it was not impossible we'd still be around for it. But I didn't really believe it....

Here's how the RP went down. Starting with Pyrene and Iliad, and then comes the gathering for the big announcement.

One of those "Oh, crap is that the time I need to pose out!" endings for me. ;)

So... it looks like we need to re-desc the Star Stones....

Intro log for a new resident at High Reaches. Not often a Search and Rescue actually gets RP'ed. This was just spur of the moment. I was setting Lil up as a resident, D'nik happened to be on and amenable, so we all went for the full RP. We used the Alpine Meadows for the setting, so pretend these are ones some way distant from the Weyr.

Oh, look! An update! Before and during Nissionath's leadership flight, Pyrene talks to G'deon and Pidgery. The Pidgery log was actually retconned the next day, but they kind of follow on from each other, so here we go:

Very short log. Pyrene is now able to be moved and to sit up a little. So she goes visiting of her own accord--to see Uriala. Possibly not the best idea; it certainly doesn't resolve anything.

No closure here )

Victory to Uriala, who is after all beyond redemption and thus can't conceive she's in the wrong. Pyrene on the other hand is a mess of insecurity right now. She'll just have to learn to get over it without an apology.
