The High Council hosted the beginning of the Easter weekend Friday with the fifth annual Bunny Bash held at the Jollier Fairgrounds. Gates were provided by Prestiege at the West Brit Bank.

The fairgrounds were decorated in tasty treats including marshmallow ducklings, brightly colored eggs and jellybeans. Lord DeKaren made everyone feel welcome and it was a well attended event. A few of the patrons were, Princess Amara, Apocalydse, Storm Chaser, Nehalennia, Lord John, Thorreain Baron, Olive Isbane, blanc De blanc, Edon Machiavelli, Qat, Rosey, SAIGON-QUINN, Akela, Lord Sigma, Lady Till Dawn, Lady Fraise, Lady Aornis and one of my favorite gals, Aridas.  Many animals were about also including pets killing poor little bunnies. One bunny was safe however from the killers and that was Ostara Bunny. This cute furry little thing was greeting and wishing everyone a Happy Easter. Not only that Ostara Bunny was handing out Easter Baskets with special items inside nested in lovely seasonal grass. THANK YOU AGAIN HIGH COUNCIL FOR ANOTHER MEMORABLE EVENT.

Lady Fraise and Princess Amara ~ First Ladies of the March Obits

Lady Fraise and Princess Amara ~ First Ladies of the March Obits

.

March was a busy time on the Great Lakes shard with many an event and many a death. The last death of the month sent in was that of Lady Fraise. Humility is a favorite hunting spot for Lady Fraise but she can be seen all over town. Upon hearing of her Obituary entry for march Lady Fraise claimed she rarely died and it seemed as though she dies more when cameras were around( she does make a pretty corpse ). I have heard this line before mainly coming from the mouth of Night Striker. No doubt they are both doing plenty of death regardless if there is a screenshot taker about or not. The second highlighted death this month is none other than The Obituary Centerfold, the beautiful Princess Amara.

Spring Has Sprung !

March 20, 2014 By: Lady Lava Category: Great Lakes News

An Easter Bunny Raised In.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG !

.

Today March 20th is the Spring Equinox which means the first day of Spring. I spent a busy morning  yesterday putting away all my snow filled inspired ideas in my Luna plot and went with Easter decor. Easter is a ways off  but I thought why not. Little did I know today we would be getting Easter gifts in the form of baskets with a cute bunny inside. Clicking on these bunnies one gets a sweet marshmallow duckling treat. I have seven toons on Great Lakes and five on all the other shards. I went into each and every toon and clicked on the bunny. On one, just one out of all those toons the bunny gave chocolate jellybeans. Hopefully this seasonal gift will inspire people to showcase Spring and Easter in their plots. If you find a Easter or heavily Spring inspired plot drop a marked rune to the location in my Luna mailbox and I will take a tour.

.

Baskets and bunnies are not the only new items in our world. Be sure to make a visit to the Brit Bank and click on the sign next to the Broad Sword Plaque to receive a plaque deed, one per account.

Beer, Beasts, Nets and Election Results

March 17, 2014 By: Lady Lava Category: Great Lakes News

.

It was a fun sunday yesterday March 16th and everyone on Great Lakes seemed in a St. Patrick’s Day mood. Many a  folk were donned in green. There were even leprechauns about. One special leprechaun by the name of Connacht was found at the Hall in Brit causing a fuss. It appeared he could not get enough beer and we all know how angry leprechauns get without their beer. He even fainted on the floor. This course was a tactic to get the town folk to help him get more beer which the redcaps were holding and it worked.

.

As if death by Redcaps was not enough FCB, one of the oldest guilds on Great Lakes, held a net toss at the Magincia Docks. Gates were provided from the Luna Bank and many FCB members were on hand to help assist in the event including Fleet Captain Gem, Tunna, Flipper Flanigan, Shameless, Kendall, Stoner Witch, Seawolf and Paul Bunyon.

MOA is Green

MOA is Green

MOA is decked out for the holiday, St Patty’s that is, as they always are. MOA is lucky to have the amazing in house designer on staff, the one and only Melian. I arrived this past Thursday at the auction house a little early and the place was already filling up. Looking around I could help but notice some really fashionable ladies and gents in the house. Aridas, Black Widow, Rebecca, Farrah, Lord Thor, Lady Alice, Smacks, Zman, Turb, Hannah, Skye, Rosemary, Olive Isbane, Lord HyBris, Rathgar, Qat, Lord Thorrean, Lord Iggy, Hewett, Captain Murphy, Raina, Jack Sparrow, Oreo, Miss Kitty, Miss Pussy, Kellusion, Rose Red, Speed, Lord Swifty, Lady Ang, Roodysamp, Willa of the Yew-Wood and Lady Dot Warner were but a few in my eye sight. Speaking of Lady Dot Warner I had a little chat with her during the auction. It appears there seems to be more than one Dot Warner in our world and there are two running for office. Be sure when voting you vote for the Dot you want ! For me there will only be one Lady Dot Warner.

It had been  some time since my last time at an auction house and it was great to see things still hopping and the MOA staff in top form. The beautiful Emerald Ice gated me from the Luna Bank to the auction house and she kept those gates up during the entire event. Little did I know the evening would include the selling of chicken blood for 195 million gold. It was the going price of the spittoon that had me most excited as I own one which I have had more years than I can remember. Sadly I still do not know the going rate on Great Lakes as the starting bid was 375 million with no takers. It is not that I plan on ever selling my spittoon, sometimes a girl needs one when having male visitors, but one was just curious as to what her assets are worth.

As in past visits through the years MOA had a little drama and excitement. One person was banned ( which rarely happens ) for bad behavior, someone tried to set the house on fire and there were three nudists prancing about in their birthday suits.  Needless to say it was a fun evening.

Great Lakes Player Passes Over To The Other Side ~ Memorial Service March First

Great Lakes Player Passes Over To The Other Side ~ Memorial Service March First

~ . ~

Lord Tiggermcat, Lord Manx and Lady blanc De blanc paying respects at memorial site

~ . ~

This Saturday March the first at 5:00PM eastern time a memorial service will be held for Charles Hibbert.  Lord Tiggermcat brought this event to my attention earlier today and I thank him. Charles recently passed away from throat cancer. I work in a medical office and I deal with cancer patients on a daily basis. It is never an easy thing for the patients, often painful, and very hard on families and friends. My warm and best wishes go out to his family.

Martin was known by many names in the realm but the one I knew well was ching a ling. The reason why I knew him so well is he asked for one of my toons hand in marriage. Always being elusive I played hard to get ( for over a year ) and the marriage never took place. For a period of time I hunted often with ching a ling but never knew his real name until today. Ult and XV were two of the guilds he was active in. Lord Tiggermcat informed me some of the old Ult members are reactivating their accounts to attend the memorial service. What a kind and generous act. His son also plans on attending the service.

Though our realm is not the real world it plays a large part in many of our lives and the friendships we make there can be very meaningful. If you want to attend this service be sure to have the General Chat or EM channel turned on fifteen minutes beforehand for gates, runes or cords to location.
