Speaking of, this is definitely one of my more sociably heavy moments as an adult ever since I got out of school. Already so far while just sitting here at the bar of Mule Kick, I have briefly chatted with the adorable Miss Reese, a college student who has been my server a few times before but could not be tonight; met with a coworker April who came here with her family after work today as well; and met another woman named Tommye who noticed my work outfit and inquired of me, asking if I knew her husband who had recently retired from the HR department at my workplace. I did not know him, but we had a pleasant enough conversation for a minute, ending with the customary "it was nice to meet you" handshake before she saw someone else she knew and had to run off.
.... All in all, a pleasant evening. And quite a social stretch for me personally. Any onlooker who did not know me better might have concluded that Sarah's Knight is quite the party animal, whom everyone knows fondly.
Proud of you, friend! Glad you were able to stretch yourself to get to talking to people!Speaking of, this is definitely one of my more sociably heavy moments as an adult ever since I got out of school.

It's cool that you went ice skating. Sorry to hear about the knee. I haven't ice skated since college, and lost track of my hockey skates years ago. If I didn't live in the South, I'd probably already have a new pair by now. Likewise, a new pair of cross-country ski boots. I could have used my skis today.Icing my knee from a pre-birthday gathering on ice. First time ice skating since I was probably 8 to 10 years old. I only went one or two times. I did a pretty good job out there and got some good video. I even took the video while I was ice skating. Hopefully they don't call me for snow plowing as I'm worthless right now for driving.
I liked the idea in your game of collecting angel fragments for the guardian angels or something of that nature. Praylight is a fun name too. There was only a few parts where the text could have been broken up but overall the writing seemed good quality.If you don't mind taking thirty minutes or so out of your life for something like this, @angelsaroundme,here's one part of that stream I spoke of that our friend did of our game Arc Arath a few years ago, where I can see how my writing was a bit wordy and repetitive.
What was really uplifting for me as the writer, however, was to see that one person in particular who followed the streamer seemed really drawn to and complimentary of one character that I had thought up entirely on my own, the one featured in the second half of the video above named Jersey Heartshorn. If even just one person expressed admiration and care for Jersey and her character arc as frequently as she had, then it makes me feel like I had done something right, you know?
Those look very comfy!!!!
Sounds like such a pleasant time you had over there!!!Speaking of, this is definitely one of my more sociably heavy moments as an adult ever since I got out of school.

Ohhh! Ice skating!! That sounds like a great time! I went ice skating a week or so ago and it can be so much fun!! I hope your knee recovers speedily!!!Icing my knee from a pre-birthday gathering on ice. First time ice skating since I was probably 8 to 10 years old. I only went one or two times.

That sounds like the perfect day!Shoveled the driveway, did some R/C-ing in the snow, dusted off my resume, cooked some delicious food, hugged the cat, read a bunch of weird relationship threads on Reddit, and watched several equally weird relationship videos on YouTube. Currently playing guitar while catching up on various forums.
Aw, injuries are no fun!Thank you! It was fun. Life really slows down when you get injured though. I was looking forward to helping somebody out from work whose house burned down, I have a lot of stuff to give her. But I think she would have had to cancel too because she's out plowing snow tonight.

That person goes to show that what you did with Jersey was able to resonate. I can see why based on what I gathered from that clip. She wasn't an automatically great hero like many stories have. She seemed to have persevered though and became great. The line about how the other students died a hero and she was living as one was excellent BTW.
The artist is talented. Is it someone that you personally knew?
I wanted to maximize the experience because I'm not getting any younger
that's neat to still have that kind of connection though..No, but he was the future brother-in-law of someone I do
I'm glad that he could influence you in such a way. It's good to always have positive influences to help us to grow in our faith and Life choices.and it is also where I first came up with the name Sarah's Knight, to be known as by
Aww. It's funny because a coworker that's a runner like me and friend, she gifted me with a running store gift card of $30. I teared up and thought that was precious. On top of that she told me she ran late getting home because she had to get that gift card the day before, since she couldn't make the ice skating event... Her husband asked her, did you get her $30 because she looks like she's 30 years old? And she said exactly. That was so flattering, because she is 29 years old and her husband just turned 30. They are both athletic and involved in ultimate Frisbee. I told her I always wish to have a young mindset.But you certainly act like you are.That's one of the reasons we all like you, I would
You're welcome. ^-^ I remember early in the stream some mention of the fragments and angels. The story sounds interesting. It's a bit like Narnia with analogs to the Bible. I can tell you put a lot of heart into it and it seems more unique than some RPGs I've played. I like the idea of restoring good rather than simply conquering evil if that makes sense... most games are about killing the villain and there isn't much of an established order afterwards beyond the heroes themselves.Thanks.That segment was probably one of my lesser-flawed examples, though. ^-^ But thank you for taking so much time to go through all of that. Just to give an explanation for that "affinity fragment" thing, because I don't remember alluding to it at any point in that part of the stream you saw, the guardian angels accompanying the party of heroes are now losing their immortality and are on the verge of absolute destruction if the villains of the story win, for they tell the heroes a story earlier in the game of when they gave a literal piece of their immortal hearts in tribute and gratitude to the goddess who made them, fashioning the pieces into the form of a brooch. The main villain of the story, the Great Dragon (an analog of Satan, of course ), once tore that brooch away from the Goddess and crushed it before her eyes, scattering the pieces all over the worlds below that are the "angel fragments" that you mentioned above. And of course, this now means that the immortal natures of the four guardian angels Pryan, Aries, Chermes, and Michiru are compromised now that it is no longer in their Divine Mother's care, but broken and scattered. So the heroes can find the fragments all around now and hope to restore their immortality some day.
I appreciate that. ^-^ Somehow the character of Jersey Heartshorn just resonated with me to after I first came up with the idea for her. Of course we always have to have our token cute heroine with the group of playable protagonists in RPG's, but I am also glad I managed to write her in something of a "real" way to where people who played the game would empathize with and find her a genuinely likeable character.
Of course, if I may brag for just one moment longer, this is her, brought to life by a talented freelance artist we once found who had an affinity for the anime style =>

I apologize that I don't post here all the time, sometimes I have to reprioritize as life situations come up.
