just the right amount of edge

Location Information:

As an asura main and a map-breaking connoisseur, the uninstanced home instance in Rata Sum is one of my favorite little areas to hang out in, and always a joy to return to on these anniversaries. I've confirmed through some shenanigans that while you can get here with only gliding a springer, having a flying mount or a teleport-to-friend is the easiest route! If it comes down to it we discovered some funny tech with personal waypoints and siege turtles last year, so if you need a hand just give us a shout in squad chat and we can send someone over to pick you up from the main city cube!

Time & Squad Details:

As always the event consists of two separate parties of 3 hours each, with an hour break in between (except for when time zone changes are going on but shh those are behind us for now).

The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Time (aka 3pm Eastern Standard Time or 4 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Aemryn of Dusk for a taxi invite if you don’t end up on the right map!

The NA server party will begin 1 hour after the EU party’s official end, at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (aka 1am Central European Time or at in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one, so please /whisper or /squadjoin Teekzi for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!

Closing Words:

Table 1

You'd think just two people would be chill, but Jaspen's mean and Keith is insufferably sarcastic. They're mostly harmless but if you're looking for positive vibes you made a mistake by sitting here.

Table 2

pretty friendly bunch, though Ollie and Winter will probably be doing most of the chatting! Lily is polite but not very sociable, and Shadow is just here to listen in for a bit of entertainment. [Winter portrait was done by the wonderful @/grammostola-pooka!]

Table 3

Quincy wants YOU to talk. He's so curious. Tell him everything. Phoenix is only here to help him read some borrowed material and won't mind letting you take the floor. Tueggi and Liffeh are just having tea from reusable thermoses and holding hands. They're very much a committed spousal pair but if you are a woman and want to be their third maybe find another time to reconnect :v

Table 4

Bran figured he'd take a table that wasn't busy, and Amir thought it would be a shame to let him sit alone. If you're a guy, he's probably going to flirt with you, and if not he'll still be perfectly friendly and chatty. Rose may give you kitten eyes asking for you to share your food. [Credit for the bran portrait goes to @/shroomlet :>]

Table 5

Three different commanders who would rather not think about that job right now! They're all quite friendly and Iorneym is especially bubbly and chatty. It's questionable whether Rrenne should be eating what's on his plate. Also, his pet jungle spider is under the table because they didn't allow him to bring a 10ft long fire wyvern into the building.

Table 6

Arguable whether this is better or worse than Table 1. Skunk is an inquest biologist that experiments with chemical mutagens and has questionable standards for the informed consent form her volunteers fill out; she may try to enlist YOU in a trial if she suspects you feel discontent with some part of your physical form. Blair is a tabloidist that likely has a recording device tucked into her hair or dress and WILL fish for something juicy that may cause problems if published. Syn is a silver-tongued bedazzled courtier who would very earnestly try to convince you to literally kill your ex.
