Small cog in the Minoan Clockwork
Aug. 19th, 2010 06:48 pmThere was a field, there was wood, tents, and rope. I helped rope together some of the arena. I watched meteorites cross the milky way and gave an impromptu astronomy lesson. I found a bruise that had nothing to do with helping on my arm. I watched makeshift wasp traps be set up and incense burned and first aid smoked out. I helped in GOD with some other tremendously organised people. I was cheerful at players all night long as we all worked out what we were doing.
I went to bed, I got up and got into kit. I was made to look deathly pale when I've been the most tanned I've been in ages. We marshaled people, organised bouts, changed banners, dragged injured around. We did admin, handed out results. I was a cloak for an evening. I went to bed.
We did it again faster, in more detail and with bigger fights. Cheering, heckling and more. And then it ended and we packed up and I headed home.
There are many things that can be said about the weekend I will take from it this:
The pride I felt when I was told by various people that they used the arena banners, battles and schedule as a clock.
The fact that many people I know enjoyed themselves
Oh and the image of me bouncing about ordering large blood covered warriors around whilst having 'Taylor the Latte Boy' on loop in my head. (This song has no relevance to odyssey other than being super catchy.)
