Amnesia

School obligations (like making sure I graduate) have eaten up all my time these past 2 weeks, so Mabinogi news has been slow. Friday I gave my final presentation, which means I am officially done with school for the rest of my life! That also means I could finally play Mabinogi again.

But I had a slight case of amnesia: I logged into the game standing on Ceo Island right next to Muro the Goblin. Um...what? I couldn't remember what I was doing before I last logged out. Plus, everyone who hadn't seen me in a while started talking my ear off (not that I minded!), so I stood in place for about an hour getting my bearings.

Ah, I remembered I was doing Generation 2 mainstream quests, and I probably just finished talking to Aer, the "not attractive" water spirit, and was on the Ideals leg of the story.

Off I go...but wait, how do I bring up my inventory...and how do I summon my pet? What are my hotkeys!? I seemed to have forgotten those too. It was an awkward 2 hours before I got back into the swing of things. Fortunately ideals do not require combat -- a welcome sight for this rusty warrior.

Browsing the screencaps I'd taken prior to my absence helped me recall what I had been doing, too. Apparently this happened:
I may have dreamt this

Bitoto and Eragonose got married in the Filia wedding chapel, which is unfairly more beautiful than the church in Emain Macha according to my pictures. Their celebrity mash-up name is now "Bitonose."

Yesterday Mistresraven gave me a tremendous amount of help in finding ideals, either posing as one herself or summoning Freaky555 to stand in. Kazukikun helped me finish the last ideal in Emain, and that was that. Ideals done in 2 days, and all with free-of-charge volunteers. It pays to know people who know people!

Afterwards, Kazukikun, Mistresraven, fellow guildie Rikimau, and I took off to meet Bitoto and Eragonose for a Coill Dungeon run, which we completed without incident. This screenshot sums it up nicely:
For those interested, my final video project for my Interdisciplinary Arts course is on Youtube, here. It's funny, I swear.
