Back from the Crusades.

[ickaimp]

War was hot, War was cold, war was dry and we got home just in time to avoid the wet. Sun/windburnt, slightly sore, very tired, but pleased. Ran around like mad doing archery stuff, and when I wasn't doing that or setting up tents, helped out Hospitality and did a Security patrol. So if I didn't see you, my apologies. Archery went well, we had a decent turn out. Not as many as Raze a Village, but still a lot of people.

Also had the pleasure of escorting a Roving Security officer through our camp for his safety one night. XD

Will be posting pictures to the SCA photo account once I'm re-united with my own computer, but in the meantime-

Over Heard at War:

"Subtle. Like sneaking alongside a ninja with Tourette's Syndrome."

*Icka goes to change into pyjamas*
Megs: "STRIP SHOW! FIVE BUCKS!"
Cow in the distance: "MOOOOOO!!!!"

*bunch of fighters sitting around waiting for the shower*
"Man, I reek so much, I can smell my balls."

*Later that night, hopefully different fighter*
"My balls are so cold they could cut diamonds."

Megs: "Icka! I have your brain! And it grew!!!"

"You know it's time for a shower when you're so filthy you turn down a blowjob because you're so dirty."

Icka's explanation of where she was Saterday night, done in one breath:
"So first I headed to Mons because of the really cool drumming, then I realised I had to go to the priv which is right there, but when I went to the stone priv, one of the toilets was broken, so I went and told Security about the toilet, but when I got there, the rodeo lights were on, casting the light onto the cliff which made their shadows look HUGE like Godzilla grrrr, so then I wandered that way to take a look and ran into this drunk guy whom introduced himself as being drunk so I escorted him to his camp, and then I stopped by this old couple's fire and talked for a while, and the elderly gentleman gave me some German Apple Cob stuff and offered to find me and escort back to camp but I turned him down and then I found Iosobail and Blossom's fire and talked with them for a while before I realised really I should head back because I hadn't told anybody where I was and so here I am!"
Johannes: ".... And how much have you had to drink?"
Icka!: "Three sips."
Icka!: "Jello Vodka bite, cordial and the apple stuff."
Johannes: ".... Riiiiight. And how big of sips were these?"

With almost 1,000 people and only 2 showers, you'd think there'd be more complaining about the showers, but there really isn't. Was kinda surprised by that.

Still, good war and I can't wait to hear what other stories come out of it. ^__^

I have found that everyone is just grateful for a hot shower they are willing to wait to get clean at any war. I also found that once the fighters are out and beating the crap out of each other is the best time for a shower.
Sounds like a good time was had by all.

One day I want to go just to film the whole thing and watch. I think that would provide amusement for a great many years XD
