Thank you sooo much to all the people who showed up, donated artwork, placed and won bids, et cetera! This was the first event that I've ever organized on Arelith, so I was super nervous that people wouldn't show, or take it seriously. But so many people showed up and everyone was such a good sport about everything. And Cordor made lots and lots of money, too!
Thank you to:
Alora Peacebreeze - you disappeared sometime during the auction but thank you for getting involved! Your songs are always fun and engaging (if sometimes a bit bawdy!) and you really brought a much-needed cultural element to the event. Super happy you showed up.
Aleska - she did a lot organizing security, I'm just glad (or am I disappointed?) that she never had cause to draw her blade. I'm sure the Contract Veterans will have plenty of opportunities for that, though! Thanks for hanging around!
Amina - for making so many fixtures at last notice, and for being such a good sport! Wyl said this IC, but OOC you have NO idea what a massive headache you saved me. Thank you!
Arthur - you were outside the whole time and I barely knew! I wish you would have stepped inside, at least by the door so you could see what was going on. Hope you weren't too bored out there, though given by the drunken belch toward the end I'm certain Arthur was having a fine enough time on his own.
Brugga Stonehelm - duh, Wyl loves her some Brugga. His joviality and reassuring smiles never fail to brighten Wyl's often dark moods. Thanks for showing up. It made Wyl feel appreciated!
Catherine Duskwood - always cheery and encouraging, like so many others. I sometimes wonder if Wyl is unwise enough not to recognize what a wonderful friend she has in Catherine. Even so she cherishes her company, as Catherine always makes her feel welcome and wanted, despite her so often dour demeanor. Thanks for playing host in lieu of either Waynolt, by the way!
Chancellor Qasi - for really encouraging Wylaana despite her often dour and self-defeating moods, and for making every effort to show up/spend so much time at the event. It's mentioned in the other thread that you go out of your way to make other players feel welcome and a part of things, and you certainly made me feel that way! Qasi's kind words at the conclusion of the auction/at the bank made me tear up as a player. Thank you!
Cyllin Skaeva - play him more. That is all. . >:(
Dalafaerion - thanks for your donations and for going out of your way to get those flags set up. I really appreciate it! Dala's gown really drew everyone's eye. It's just too bad Dala didn't catch the hint when Dusty suggested he take her arm. "Eye candy," indeed.
Dawn Akhan - always super friendly, and donated a good chunk of the items that were auctioned off, including one of the higher-priced items of the event. A lot of care and time went into your descriptions, and it shows. Thanks for taking the time to show up, even though you had extenuating RL circumstances. It means a lot to me and meant a lot to Wyl!
DM Chiliad - for making the time to show up with some goons and random NPCs to give the event a bit more flavor. Dusty made a new noble acquaintance as well. Hooray!
Elysia - Jeeze, she bought up half the house, and contributed a work of her own that went for no small amount of coin! Thank you for being a good sport about the altar, and for rushing to put things together at the last minute!
Evosil - what an awesome, super cool job you did as auctioneer. All those items you had to summarize and sell to a skeptical (and fancy) crowd, yet without you it would have been Wyl stuttering up there with her 8 charisma and half a left shoe. Thanks so much for tolerating me as I rushed to get everything together at the last moment. You were exceptional!
Geralt Duskwood - STOP MAKING ALL WYL'S FRIENDS HATE YOU. No, but really, will never turn away his company, even if his adamantine adherence to propriety can at times grate on her nerves. Just know that with each transgression those loveseats will get lewder and lewder. Muahahaha!
Katharyn - thanks for turning up, despite how shaky things are for Katharyn right now. That um... display you put on at the end there, that was something! Certainly left an impression, at least. Always a joy RPing with you, and thanks for not bringing shame to my RL name.
Piper Pike - thanks for indulging me and organizing the entertainment for the auction. How dull would it have been to not have you along? Like Qasi's, Piper's words of encouragement (especially after her fumbled/nervous speech) meant a lot to Wyl, and she's not likely to forget them. <3
Shanna Waynolt - holy crap does Wylaana love you right now. Not only was it by the Waynolt's graces that she was able to host this in the first place, but that bidding war between you and Qasi almost made her faint! Thank you for being such a good sport. What Shanna contributed was more coin than Wyl has seen in her life, even if it's just pocket change for Shanna!
Syclia - the butler! You're a quiet one and Dusty can never seem to get a word out of you, but thanks for putting together all the foodstuffs on short notice. Wyl neglected to thank her IC but rest assured she will as soon as she sees her!
And thank you to the lots of random people who wandered in or donated artwork but didn't necessarily participate in the auction. It's always nice to know that people are interested enough to at least show up!
Lathander is bae
