Current Projects & Goings On

Well besides this website, I have alot of things going on.

I am currently active in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). Go to the section titled  SCA Events for the Current Month to see what we have going on for the months of July and August.

Stuff going on at The Seventh Sun  is keeping me uber busy.  This game promises to be bigger and better than anything Simu could ever produce!  We are looking to hire more programmers though.  If interested, e-mail me at Rivyn@theseventhsungame.net .

As if things aren't anymore crazy, I am also hard at work on my writing. I have one book in with Harlequin Historicals, and am currently working on the beginning of a series for the publishers at Tor, the same ones who publish Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.
 
Also, I have a 17 month old now in addition to my 16 year old, plus working and going to school to get my Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Technology Management.
 
I now live in Austin, Texas with my husband Oscar, 16 year old daughter Julie, 17 month old daughter Angel, cat Rascal, and snakes Spot and Charlemagne. 
 
*OU Sooners are # 1!  Yeah!*
 
 
 

~*~ A Heartfelt Goodbye to Dangelo ~*~

 

It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform those of you who were mine and Dangelo's friends and family in DragonRealms, that the player of Dangelo (Jake Holton Jr.) has passed on to be with God and his angels.  He passed away February 2, 2005 at 7:45 am at Southside Regional Medical Center in Petersburg, Virginia.  I was there at his side holding his hand as he drew his last breaths.  He had been sick for some time because of cancer.

 

On December 3, 2004 he was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in its third stage.  We tried to make him as comfortable as possible and do everything we could for him but......it was all in vain.  We all love and miss this Tog very much, and would do anything if it were possible to bring him back.  He was thought of by everyone with nothing but good thoughts and a great deal of respect.  Jake had a big heart and was very generous, the type of person who took care of those he loved and cared about.

 

His favorite things to do was play poker online or watch the horse races online via his computer.  Jake, I hope that wherever you are in heaven that you have a computer, and that your horse finally comes in and you win that jackpot.  You will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.

 

Below is a log of the in game Memorial that Alvy and Tvini were so thoughtful to help Taygar out with.  The log was supplied by Martee's player and was edited by myself.

[The Crossing Amphitheater, The Seating Area]
Stone benches and wooden seats form a semi-circle around a stage at the north end of this theater.  Designed so even a whisper can be heard by all, this area is used for everything from town meetings to staged performances.  You also see a wooden box of memorial gifts, a small stand covered in black silk with some stuff on it, a roughly-hewn wooden funeral pyre draped in black silk accented with wildflowers with a small parchment sign on it, a large stone archway, and a speaker's list.

>look sword
The sword is ornately carved with swirling lines radiating from the hilt.  The lines gather and swirl like waves of heat coming from a fire, like a curtain obscuring what lies on the other side.  Near the tip of the blade, the lines
part to reveal a starry path.  A garland of wildflowers wreaths the grip, which is carved with the crest of the Barbarian Guild.

>Dreamheart chuckles to herself.
>Meidori smiles.

>Dreamheart says, "Back to the time when warriors all wore plate, and the Barbarian's Guild did not care if members wore leather. Yet. Agonar had already given notice of his expectations, though, and the time was coming soon where
Barbarians would be expected to wear leather. "

>Dreamheart shakes her azure-scaled leathers!

Dreamheart says, "The Gods had not provided for thumping idiots or the arrangement of formal challenges yet. Even brawling was not taught at the guilds."

Meidori grins.
>Eileethan grins.
>Greyglimmer smiles.
>You grin, revealing your dimples.

>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo had just gotten in from a dangerous hunt against the most fearsome creature in our experience, crocodiles. The Marsh claimed many a hero in those days."

>Xixist smiles in rememberance


Dreamheart says, "He had changed out of his metal armor and put on his leathers, which he was breaking in out in wood trolls. Ach! He came back to town looking pretty beat up after that. He, and a few other hunters and heroes sat down to pick up some tips from my class in leathers."

>Branwen chuckles at Aiffe.

>Dreamheart says, "Silly bardess that I am, I had been wearing leather and using evasion for years already. But I was happy to help them with their backtraining."

>Dreamheart says, "Suddenly our class and conversation was interrupted by someone who was obviously very young. He sat down with us and promptly started to grill Dangelo and Mir with lots of questions."

(Dreamheart points out the many advantages of leathers. Like any good teacher.)

>Dreamheart gazes at her leathers.
>Branwen chuckles.
>Dreamheart says, "Soon, he was heavy into bragging; he obviously had more head knowledge than real experience. He seemed to be manuevering the conversation further and further into conflict, even though Mir and Dangelo were paying very little attention to his whining."

>Dreamheart says, "My intuition warned me this little boy meant trouble."
>Dreamheart gulps.

Dreamheart says, "Today, we would call him a snert, thump him, and walk away. I have seen people killed for far less, frankly."

Dreamheart puts her leathers in her maroon backpack.

>Dreamheart shrugs.
You chuckle.
>Dreamheart says, "Patient and unruffled, Dangelo answered the boy's questions and claims with simple, direct answers when required. I was amazed at his calm responses. So many times I had witnessed scenes like this erupt into blows when men of less maturity were confronted with the boasting taunts of a would-be bully-boy. But not Dangelo."

Greyglimmer smiles.
Moirea nods.
>Dreamheart says, "Then suddenly the boy rose to his feet, boasting, "I bet I could kill you with this!" and he waved some pointed weapon in his hand at where Dangelo was sitting."

>Branwen raises an eyebrow.
Dreamheart says, "Dangelo shrugged."
>Scooter grins at Dreamheart, his dimples flashing into view.

Dreamheart says, "The next thing I saw was the boy advancing on Dangelo. Now, this was the Town Green. People tease each other all the time on the Town Green, because mature, law-abiding citizens know it is illegal to attack someone in town. I do not think anyone in the area was alarmed. Yet."

Dreamheart says, "The dread of my intuition flooded me and my heart sank as this ill-mannered snert struck at Dangelo. Twice. And then stunned him. But Dangelo did not strike back at the boy, not once. He knew that he would have killed him if he did."

>Dreamheart says, "Surely he thinks his point is now made and will stop," I thought to myself as one of the finest hunters of the realms took that stunning blow."

Dreamheart exclaims, "Mir was already on his feet, and dragged Dangelo away. I commanded the ne'er do well to stop, but he followed Dangelo! This was too much!"

Dreamheart says, "I knew Dangelo was worse than unprotected, since he only had on his leather armor, and was not at all acustomed to moving in it. I was upset
to think someone would attack someone like this right on the Green."

Dreamheart says, "The braggart tracked down Dangelo, and before I could find them, Dangelo was struck down! Those who witnessed the final blows said that Dangelo never struck at his attacker through the whole thing."

Dreamheart winces.

>Greyglimmer frowns.
>Ryeka frowns.
>Scooter takes off a kyanite gwethdesuan.
>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo's friends hurried to help recover his things and take him somewhere to depart safely -- this was long before ressurections and glyphs of warding. "

>Xixist makes a disgusting grunting noise.
>Freye sighs.

>Dreamheart says, "A shrug is not consent for dueling. You know this, I know this, and as much as the braggart claimed otherwise, he obviously knew it, as well, or he would not have had to justify himself as much as he did."

>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "The sneering jibes of the braggart started about how he had killed Dangelo, who had not fought back. They were quickly silenced when someone pointed out to the little boy that Dangelo could have killed him quickly with his least practiced weapon if he had wanted to."

>Dreamheart snickers.
>Branwen smiles.
>Greyglimmer smirks.
You nod to Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "Suddenly several people jumped to the murdering snert's defense in the telepathy of the gwethdesuan, people who had not even been there. As friends of Dangelo's all over the Realms asked what had happened, I decided to take it upon myself to state succinctly what had happened."

>Ryeka smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Xixist smiles slightly.
>Dreamheart recites:

    "Dangelo was murdered in cold blood on the Town Green," I thought out."



>Dreamheart says, "Every time the murderer or one of his cronies tried to justify it, brag about it, or turn the story into something different, I thought again to those who would be listening on the gwethdesuan the gist of the matter. He had been slain without ever defending himself."

>Freye sighs.
>A tear runs down Freye's face.
>Dreamheart says, "Let the murderer's bragging rights reflect the truth of that."

>Greyglimmer pats Freye on the back.
>Ryeka rubs Freye gently.
>Dreamheart nods.
>Dreamheart says, "Some people stopped to wonder about the reason one of our greatest heroes had been struck down by a conniving braggart, but I knew why."

>Branwen smiles at Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "It took a great deal more strength to sit and take the incoming blows than to have defended himself. Strength of conviction, strength of character, and strength of will."


>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Freye leans on Ryeka.
>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo proved who the victor was that evening. This was a powerful testament to the hero's soul in Dangelo. "

>Branwen lets out a deep sigh of contentment.
>Greyglimmer smiles.
>Branwen nods to Dreamheart.
>Ryeka smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Dreamheart says, "A hero is someone who does the right thing, not neccesarily because it is convenient, or the safest for him, but because it must be done."


>Moirea nods.
>Ryeka nods in agreement.
>Dreamheart says, "I would like to add a personal post script to this recounting. After I recorded this initial story, friends approached me and suggested I record the name of the little snert who had caused it all, so that
everyone would know what trouble he was."
You nod.

>Greyglimmer asks, "Edgee?"
You glance at Havok, a male Elf.
>Greyglimmer peers quizzically at Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "And I have been known to do that."
>Branwen chuckles at you!
>Dreamheart nods.
>Dreamheart shakes her head at Greyglimmer.
>Dreamheart says, "But in a flash of inspiration that could
only have come from the Immortals themselves, I shook my head and told them, "

>Dreamheart recites:

    "The deed that needs to be remembered here is what Dangelo did, not the ignoble actions of a little snert. Better for the boy to never be memorialized in a hero's tale at all. Because I hoped his name would fade from all memory..."

Greyglimmer nods to Dreamheart.
Branwen smiles at Dreamheart.
You nod to Dreamheart.

Dreamheart says, "It sure has faded from mine."
>Moirea smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Dreamheart winks.
>Ryeka grins at Dreamheart, her dimples flashing into view.
>Dreamheart says, "There is nobody left living who could tell you his name now. But Dangelo's name will live on as one of the True Heroes of the Realms."
>Kileigh laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
>Greyglimmer smiles at Dreamheart.
>Eileethan nods.

>Freye hugs Eileethan, getting a smile in return.
>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Branwen praises Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "To Dangelo Reevers. Hero. Warrior. Barbarian. Friend."


Greyglimmer sniffles.
>Greyglimmer rubs his nose.
>(Dreamheart salutes with the sword.)
>You sob.
>Freye says, "He was.. one of the best.. "
>Xixist says, "Here here"
>Xixist removes a large jaguar-pelt bota with a carved ivory stopper from his belt.

>Branwen rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

>Branwen nods to Freye.
>Xixist tilts his head back and squirts some iceberry mead from the jaguar-pelt bota into his mouth.

Greyglimmer nods to Freye.
>Legian nods.
>Digmo says, "amen"
>Belegoth rubs you in a friendly manner.

A tear runs down Moirea's face.
>Xixist attaches a large jaguar-pelt bota with a carved ivory stopper to his belt.

>Dreamheart curtsies gracefully.
>Dreamheart nods to Taygar.

>From the direction of the Barbarian Guild, a lone drum beats a solemn dirge.  A feeling of peace fills the air.

You beam at Dreamheart!

>Eileethan rests his hand on Dreamheart's arm with a soft smile.
>Branwen says, "very nice story, Dreamheart."
>Branwen nods to Dreamheart.
>Kileigh smiles.
>Greyglimmer smiles softly.

Dreamheart says, "Every word is true."
>Taygar says, "Thank ya hon"
>Ryeka smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Scooter sniffles.

Taygar says, "Xixist ya are a lucky man"
>Ryeka scratches Scooter's back.  Scooter smiles blissfully.
>Branwen nods to Taygar.
>Xixist says, "Dont I know it"

Branwen leans back against Havok with a loving smile.
>Kileigh giggles.
>Dreamheart leans on Xixist.
>Havok leans on Taygar.
>Taygar says, "after the speakers we will open the floor to everyone"
>Xixist smiles slightly
>Xixist rubs Dreamheart gently, massaging her muscles.

>Moirea gazes at a gold mourning band etched with a skeleton in bas-relief.
>Greyglimmer rubs a somber black armband.
>Taygar says, "ok Elriic isnt here so i ask Diggers to saya afew words"
>Greyglimmer sighs.

Digmo smiles.
>Freye sighs.
>Freye nods to Taygar.
>Digmo says, "Welp, I don't have anything prepared, on such short notice."
>Freye says, "Elriic could not be here? "

>Digmo says, "But I'll say what I knew of Dantog."
>Freye says, "I have a song for after the words are spoken."

>Greyglimmer works carefully at tending Snowfair's wounded neck.
>Digmo nods to Belegoth.
>Digmo says, "I know Elriic would be here if he could"
You say, "He is going to be kickin himself for missing this, and I will kick him too"

Kileigh says, "you tell em, Martee"
>Branwen smiles at you.
>Taygar says, "shush women"
>Taygar glares at you.
>Kileigh ducks her head.
>Digmo chuckles.
>Greyglimmer snickers.

Digmo says, "Dantog"

Digmo says, "I think he was one of the first people I met in the realms who really put me in awe."

You nod to Digmo.

Branwen smiles at Digmo.

Branwen nods to Digmo.

    "Yuki, Threads, Miranda, Sam,
     Theophrastus and Lothar.

    "Come again, dear one, walk this lane with me,

     But they live on as we hold them in our hearts."

>Dreamheart tenderly sings in an alto voice:

    "So, dear one, come and walk with me,
     Down this lane of memories."

You notice an odd, almost godly aura about Alvy.

You see GameMaster Alvy, an Elven Warrior Mage.
She has pointed ears and violet eyes.  Her golden hair is very long and wavy, and is worn loose.  She has tanned skin.
Alvy has transcended time.
She is in good shape.

She is holding a savory sage and onion tart in her right hand. She is wearing a large sack, a blackened hide bandeau knotted at the chest and roughly-cut shoulder straps, some black leather thigh boots swirled with tiny diamonds on the stiletto heels, a battered silver badge engraved with the word *SOON* surrounded in flames, a battered leather pack of supple tanned skins harvested from problem children, a thorn-studded platinum navel ring strung with a winter-white diamond pentagram, a short-skirted loincloth sewn from bits of leather and knotted sinew, a blue-collared scarlet parrot charm elaborately painted in flamboyant colors and a perky button that reads, "Hi!  I'm Alvy!".
