Consolidation froth

Obligatory Maelstrom froth post. Because this event was amazing beyond belief.

So, here was what was awesome:
- Ptolemy's funeral, and the brief awakening of the gut-wrenching terror Noah has of the afterlife
- The hen(na) night, and the ladies (and priests) who turned up. Thanks to Sha for the henna!
- A brief conversation with Nefertiri (even more moving in retrospect, as it was our last)
- The Monday morning shock of Nefertiri's death, and my first actual IC breakdown into tears (then getting hugged lots)
- Some one-to-one time with my Imam, Builder jenga and noticing something that made me smile
- The wedding, unexpected spontaneity, the well-wishers and the feast. Oh, and an eidolon turned up (wooo!)
- The seraph's tear wearing off, and the misery and regret that caused
- Saturday night at the Scholars, a few more tears, then a bit more happiness and singing, and growing more and more sure about that thing I noticed
- The Weaverite meeting, once again wonderful, discussing religious and world-ending (and world-saving) matters
- The supplication
- Running around after Ishtar afterwards (and getting that thing I noticed confirmed - squee!)
- The reading of the martyrs meeting
- The Smithite supplication in the evening - BOOM BOOM!
- Shaking hands with a dracosian, shaking hands with a dragon, hugging a dragon. AAAAHHHH.
- The Flembic Lower City. You guys rock.
- Finally deciding, IC and OC, on a definite path for Noah.

Not so awesome:
- Almost fainting in the GOD queue Friday afternoon. Many thanks to the First Aiders, they were incredibly friendly and helpful and got water, sugar and salt inside me.
- The wedding feast being continually interrupted by Fallen was annoying, and most people left, although I appreciate it was definitely fun for others
- I keep reacting IC to OC annoyances, stopitbraindammit
- I did not want this event to end, it was that amazing. Wow, PD. Wow, everyone.
