Memorable Scenes
-
What were some memorable scenes you’ve had over the years? Silly, emotional, outrageously boring, frustrating beyond all reason - I dunno. All of it and more!
Give a little synopsis of what went down and then say a few words about what made it memorable for you.

one scene I think back to a lot was my first GM’d staff response on Arx with Valenzo.
he was the captain of a ship who had been cursed in some mysterious way thad had led to him being hunted by a pack of assassin demons and also coincidentally having a demon doppelganger known as a mirrorborn. the scene involved Valenzo deliberately calling the mirrorborn, who was trying to convince him to make a bargain to release it into the world in exchange for his protection. Val only knew bits and pieces about the nature of his curse, but two key things weighed on him – the assassin demons were extremely dangerous, but mirrorborn could only sustain themselves in the world outside their realm by preying on humans. realizing that by saving his own skin he’d be putting others at risk, he ultimately refused the bargain, and the demon left in disgust – after telling him his best friend’s life was in peril.
I remember this one so fondly because not only was it a defining moment for a character I really enjoyed playing and one that informed pretty much the rest of my time with him, but the GM was just amazing. I’ll always remember one pose, which was SO sinister and gave me RL goosebumps, that she conveyed in just a few words – basically just the demon leaning forward and touching the surface of the mirror when it looked like Val might let it out – but the implications and the tension were ramped up sooo much more by everything she didn’t say. masterful stuff that still makes me grin when I think about it, and really appreciate how magical this hobby can be.

The one where I first Impressed a dragon on PernMUSH in 1997.
The ones where @tsar and I were in jail together.
The one where @tsar burned down a bar with our characters still inside it.
The one where people just kept eating all the cannabis gummies, like you’re supposed to eat an entire bag.
The one where the combat code was broken on GH and the enemies just wouldn’t die!!!
The one where @Pyrephox HAD THE DRUGS and tased my character.
The one on the same game where we just kept running in the stairwell FOR EV ER because of how the dice were rolling.
The one where the bomb went off at the fancy party on LA2043.

When @ham’s character died to a fucking doorknob and we came back to the apartment we had all been sharing and saw his pillow (with the Barbie pillow case, I think??) and started crying.
In that same game when that giant NPC came running into the apartment and broke through the door and straight out the wall on the opposite end
When @Pyrephox’s character punched out @KarmaBum’s and broke his nose in the middle of a dinner party and that girl was like, “okay well it’s time for the salad”
That time when my character got hitched to @Snackness’s in a bookstore after dating for like a week lol
almost all of my scenes with Mercy on LA2043, but esp the one where she taught my character to shoot guns and we got into a fistfight and it was awesome -

@Wizz he touched the doorknob and instantly died, it was pretty unexpected. But the big bad was behind the door so I guess that makes sense?! Anyway it was really sad.
