Leather Anniversary for OOPS!
An unbiased report by Twylight Princess
It was with much celebration and candle-blowing that the Order of Pointed Sticks [OOPS] celebrated their Third Anniversary on Monday. Here are the highlights of the event. Having arrived fashionably late this editorialist missed the red carpet entrances, however it did not stop her from picking up many bits of gossip to share.
The ever fashionable Arzu and Raina (Doomed Drunkard!) (Doomed Drunkard!) were trend-setting yet again, both sporting stylish Antlers. It seems the always chic Arzu has switched hairdressers after the unfortunate hair debacle over the Canthan New Year weekend. Her Kournan hairdresser Fredrické was fired after much public scrutiny and she now shares the famous Le Grangé ülĺ Tu†orlç al la Mode from House Brauer with Raina (Doomed Drunkard!) (Doomed Drunkard!). The two women were in fine form with his newest concoction; Andouillers de Victoire.
Raina (Doomed Drunkard!) (Doomed Drunkard!) sporting the newest hairstyle from House Brauer. There were however a fashion faux pas by the rugged ROMS ranger Nairo Sionuill. His outfit was last seen being worn by him at the Association for the Betterment of Menzie's Fundraiser Gala in Ascalon last month. Looking a bit harried, he wore his repeat outfit of Elite Drakescale and a Dwarven Long Coat with as much confidence as a man who's draped in a 4 year old Yak loincloth could. The stylish and silent Zekkou Dageki was heard muttering in the wings "Eck, what was he wearing? He looked like he was wearing an Ettin's hide."
Despite this, the rest of the OOPS members looked their best in their finest. They flitted around, as social and as welcoming as ever. The hor'doeurves were impeccably presented and tasted just as good. When inquiring who the chief was, it was discovered they'd employed Imperial Chef Yan to prepare the delectable dishes which included; Sliced Mandragor Sandwiches, Minister Cho's Afflicted Chicken Wings and a light salad of tangled seeds, dragon root and guardian moss tossed with dressing made from truffles and celestial essence.
After enjoying socializing for a while, the reporter was whisked off into a battle within the hallowed halls of OOPS hall. It was to be the last event of the evening, followed by one last large announcement. However the anticipation of the announcement did little to stifle the competitive and playful battle that was to come.
The teams were divided as such:
Them-Arzu [OOPS]
Tegid [OOPS]
Rogan [OOPS]
Raina (Doomed Drunkard!) (Doomed Drunkard!) [OOPS]
The Nudger [OOPS]
Karma [ROMS]
Avari [ROMS]
Loden [ROMS]
The Fighting Mongooses-Myrddin [OOPS]
Si Nik [OOPS]
Puck [OOPS]
Zanzara [OOPS]
Leena [RAWR]
Nairy [ROMS]
Rain [ROMS]
Fyo (Cupcake Princess) (Cupcake Princess)[ROMS]
The battle was swift and deadly... The Fighting Mongooses soon wiped out Them in a fast battle before Them resurged and wiped The Fighting Mongooses, pushing the Mongooses back to their rez shrine. During this the aggression and rivalry of Loden and Nairy was fierce. Their taunts were heard floating across the tense air and punctuating the clash of steel and the flash of spells. Despite this The Fighting Mongooses were able to push against the resistance and forced Them back into their fortress, swiftly striking at their Guild Lord and slaying him with the aggression of the Vabbian sun.
Once the battle was over, the wounds patched and the finest Tyrian sparkling grape juice was distributed, as well as copious amounts of popcorn; the attendee's settled in for the long awaited announcement which was delivered by Tegid Teles and Myrddin The Embries who set aside their past rivalry and delivered the message in tandem.
After much lead-up and dramatics as only two Mesmer's can conjure up, they announced:
"The Great Tyrian Footrace."This announcement lead to great anticipation and much conspiring as questions soon flew; they seem to be holding some details close to their double-breasted suit's and tails. However what is known, is that the race will consist of teams and reach across all of Tyria and it will be required to Bring Your Own Glory (BYOG). Despite the buzz the announcement caused the two revealed nothing else, instructing all curious members to keep two eyes on the forum in weeks and days to come.
Soon after the announcement, speculation on teams began. At last hearing "Team Pink" was to be headed by Loden and "Team Nairy" by Nairo.
The Torn Scroll shall endeavor to keep you updated on the team projections as they become known.
As the evening closed and the party attenders started drifting away into the night the OOPS hall was left with a resounding warmth and happiness that only age can bring. We wish them many more prosperous years and hope to join them in mass massacres in missions for the years to come.
Cheers!
