I decided to head over to the meeting area 2hrs before the event, so that I would have time to go over things with both Soulstar and Drimergirl before the wedding GM met up with us to do a rehearsal. While I waited for the bride and groom to make their way over, I started remembering the first time I had seen the waterfall area. I remember adding the zone as one of my favorite spots in the game.
After Soulstar and Drimergirl arrived, we waited for the wedding GM to appear. We were then asked to head closer to the waterfall near a rock where the GM went over all the wedding procedures and rules. We got through everything pretty quick, and then I was asked to head over to the guest waiting area and organize everyone.
That proved to be an interesting and fun challenge. For most people that know me, i'm not the greatest at verbally expressing myself and I guess my instructions weren't entirely clear. I had to form two straight lines, and getting everyone into position took a little work. Some people would afk, others just... didn't understand me at all ; ;
But in the end, we finally got it right! All that was left to do, was hand out the fire crackers and other fireworks I had picked up, and we were off to the official ceremony! Though that too, didn't exactly go as smoothly as I had planned, lol. I wanted everyone to walk in a nice straight line all the way to where the GM, Soulstar and Drimergirl were waiting but the lines were soooooooooooooo out of order. We even had one person who had apparently afk'ed without saying, run in right as we were about to start the ceremony! X_X
All was good though. We started the ceremony, and everyone kept quiet while we listened to Soulstar and Drimergirl say their wedding vows, and trade their special food item which I thought was rather cute.
After they had been given the official "You are man and wife" line, the GM gave us the cue to applaud. Everyone busted out their fireworks, used their abilities and emoted like there was no tomorrow as we all tried to congratulate our two friends. Even one of us, went as far as showing his excitment by using his 2hr Mijin Gakure! He thought the mob that he had targetted was far enough out of range that the ability wouldn't go off, but out of no where... we all see this HUGE explosion amongst all the fireworks going off and then we see our good hume friend Carste fall dead into the water. Lol.
We of course all seized the opportunity to do a little friendly LS "Dog Pile" on his corpse and show him just how much we appreciate him!
While everyone was having fun taking random screenshots, I gave both Soulstar and Drimergirl their wedding gifts. I had crafted up 12 Sole Sushi +1 which I gave to Soulstar for his DRK, and a Ecphoria Ring for Drimergirl. Hopefully both items will be useful for merit parties which they're now able to enjoy :)
Yet another fun event for the LS.
And the only other stuff that i've been up to this week, has been completing the last of my FL assaults with Carste, Zyn and Arezael. Both of the last two fights, they asked me to come PLD/NIN for. Aside from the fact that I was paranoid to death about failing at keeping hate, we managed to do very well on both fights. Carste died on Khimaira but was up and back in no time. With Arez being quick to keep me healed, there wasn't a whole lot I could do to keep my hate against Carste's NIN though.
I think i'm now down to about 10 assaults before I can get captain rank. I never really cared much about getting Captain, but recently with the smooth runs i've had in assault, I think i've had a change of heart. Besides, free teleports on the runic portal would be awesome!
Oh yeah, and my SMN is now 54. I've finally been able to collect all my coffer keys too. Just need to motivate myself to go initiate the quest in Jeuno, and then steal a few LS members to go do the AF3 quest and i'm all done!
Then... give a couple of weeks and i'll have to do the same thing over for my loldrg! ><
I've gotten that job to 35, mostly with LS level sync parties which have been quite relaxing. I'm eager to get a little higher though on DRG so that I can finally have something more to do other than weaponskills and jump. Actually, because I had been asked to assist with the healing in my last party by subbing WHM, i've decided to try and get my BLU to lvl 37 so that I can use that in the future. From what i've heard, whenever healing is needed (or is i'm so bored I decide to solo on DRG) having /blu as the subjob is the better choice because of the spell cost/cast time.
So that's what i'm currently up to. Doing something I said i'd never do. Level BLU.
I hate it.
As predicted, I had to kill at least 100 stupid beetles before I learned a spell. Now i'm onto mandies, and they're being just as generous. -_-
