Another goodbye.

Post by Borin Drakkmurl » Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:18 pm

Hello, Daedin here.

I read this topic by Orion_666 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=23241 and it resonated with me in many ways, so much so that I figured I'd follow suit.

It has been two years since I have done anything of significance on Arelith. I have played a few characters within that time frame, but few made it past a couple of months. I simply no longer have the time or energy to do it and often, these days, do not quite feel like I belong either.

I have played here since 06 and that alone is hard to believe. But now I think it is time for a more permanent goodbye. We like to say "they always come back" but, in this instance, I am pretty sure that will be very far in the future, if ever.

There is so much that I could say, but I will keep it to the one truth I am certain of:

I love this place and everyone in it.

Keep the lights on.

I'll see you all later, somewhere.

I will attempt to meet your brevity with a nod to your most recent, and hope it also encompasses a bit of the feels this creates:

Goodnight sweet prince.
It's a Dwarf, no it's a Dragon, no it's a Halfling! I think.

Gonna miss having you around even though we rarely bumped into one another.

*sniffle* Best of luck for the future!
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

I only had a few interactions with Borin, Maikan and Otilia, but I enjoyed all of the interactions. I wish we had had more chance to RP together as you're a fabulous RPer. However, memories will always remain.

Good luck out there.

The funny thing is (and yes I know this is a double post) but I did not realize at first that was an extended clip of that scene, but its actually better that it is

I have never really known you so much - but some of the funnest, cool shit I've seen was when you were rollin' around on your bard man when I was playing Marlevaur. You're a good dude and have a good one out there in the world.

Some how this has got to be one of the coolest, yet saddest goodbyes I've read. Nice one littleWeasel, nearly had the same effect on me as my national anthem. Military and all.

Anyways, spose everyone's gotta get at some point, just sometimes it's not expected or far sooner than some wish. Hats off to ya.

Reactivated my account to say goodbye!

You contributed so much to the server, and my time here, there's nothing I could write to do it justice.

Thank you for constantly inspiring me to be a better writer, thanks for the stories, and the chats.

I sincerely hope that you're happy and everything is going fine for you. Stay in touch, okay?

Our characters never interacted much, but when they did, it always had a strong effect (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) on my guy depending on the alt.

Nicodemus still goes to the Myon Grove specifically to check to make sure Borin’s painting is still there, in its place.

Keep well, good luck...and having been there myself once, don’t shut the door all the way...leave the door open a crack a peek in every now and again, eh?
