Some wanted me to put up the log of what mostly was said. I'll have screenshots tomorrow.
[Wed Sep 12 16:31:14]
The Keeper : Friends. It is indeed a sad event to have brought us all here. I would like to speak briefly and then let everyone else have a chance to talk. Two weeks today, I called Richard wondering why isn't he here for vampy Wednesday. There was no answer. That was August 29. He didn't show up that following Saturday as Richard could only be in game on Wed and Saturdays. I thought maybe it might have been his mother who he has been taking care of. Last Wednesday, I called again as he didn't show up and his mother answered. She was very happy to hear from a friend from his gaming community as he loved us all and enjoyed playing on Kissmet. Then she told me. Richard died. She had gone to her sister's house for the night and the next day, she called him. No answer. Her sister's son went over there and found Richard dead in his chair. This was on the 30th and they didn't know if Richard had died on the 29th or the 30th. They do not know how he died but he was a heavy man and wasn't in the best of health. He's a good looking man and was only 48 years old.
Richard had three accounts on Kissmet. Draconianguard2000, Spawn of Tiamet, and Avatar of Clas. You might have remembered him as these characters: Elvorith Celestina. Wife to Elena and Firenza. Victor Creigh - a bald headed guy he created just for Kissmet's Player Appreciation Day. Katherine von Dracovich - Alexander's sister and owner of the Dragon Horde Meccantile in Southport. A shop of Portables. Caldor Shadowkyss - a drow male of the Shadowkyss family. And various children of these. Elvalia and Ulrick and Ariel, to name a few.
Now Richard was a very kind man. Always willing to help. Always willing to RP with someone and even make a character to RP with someone to make them feel comfortable here on Kissmet. He was here since the beginning, I believe. Alexander Korvinus von Dracovich was married to the Queen Carmille Gray last year after a very big Kissmet event. He was a willing player even just for the fun of the wedding. As you can see, he started up the Sanquine Guards as well as two terms of being Prince of Vampires.
Richard wasn't a builder, but he sure was an inspiration to me with ideas. If you go into the Arcane Guild, you'll read the big tome of how the Arcane Library got destroyed. So when you see a Sanguine Rose guard, think of Alexander Korvinus von Dracovich. Think of Richard. The area song playing now (if you have your sound on) is the HOTU Dracolich. As you come in this Kissmet Kastle Banguet Room, it was his idea for Alex and Carmille to get married! He was a good chap. He will be greatly missed.
If there is anyone else who would like to share and experience, please come up here
Windie Wendt: I have one thing to say... Alex was greatly loved here and I don't know one single person who didn't like him... so dear Alex may your armor be shiny and your sword always sharp in your new adventure
Jevicca Nor Of the Fey: I don't want to talk too much but I admired Alex for his ability to work with just about anyone. He didn't play favorites or reject anyone as long as they were willing to be open and friendly. I worked with him briefly during the transition between Livana, the Regency Council and later. It was both confusing and occasionally fractious with people coming and going and, through it all, he was calm and welcoming. When a player falls, we lose so much more than just that one person. We lose their companionship, but also all the stories they contributed to and were a part of. As I look around, I'm happy to see so many old faces. I'm only sad that it took a loss such as this to bring us back together again. Maybe that is the lesson we should take away from Alex's loss: Don't wait so long to spend time with friends that you run OUT of time.
Vaughn Astardes: // Gusy coing to go a little ooc here so stick with me. Rich was my friend. No mattre who he was playing when he was elforith putting roses up Vaughns bottom or if he was making fun of my pcs as Alex i loved him a lot. We has a shared interest outside of NWN in warhammer and model painting. I will miss our converstiions we had in chat and i am sure we bored NAN and Gregory on nmore than one occasion when we talkeda bout our enjoyment of the hobby. He was a good man i know like me he had Diabities and i am sorry he is gone. I will miss my converstaions. I will miss my friend. Thanks for listeneing.
Jenia Celestina-Tane: I'd like to say a few things as well. As the Keeper mentioned earlier, Richard had many many toons. No matter who he was playing, he was always humorous and fun loving. Rolan Tane and Jenia were also married to his character Evlorith as part of the Celestinas. HIs Elrien, a magically transformed panther, was part of House Scorne, but my favorite character he played was Prag Shan. If there was ever a character made that truly represented the person behind the keyboard, I believe Shan was the true emobidment of or dear friend Richard. Every single time Shan was logged on, it was a night for siliiness and just pure fun. Shan is also the father of Jen's four "kittens". Shazik, played by Rich. Korik played by Scorne. Zia was played by Elena and lastly the runt of the bunch, Sha'nia played by me. I guess what I'm getting at, is that Richard was always happy to join us, no matter the characters involved. I loved him dearly as a friend and he will always be in my heart as part of my online family. That's all I wanted to say, thank you.
The Keeper : Thank you, Jenia. I'm sorry I didn't mention you as a wife to Elvorith as well. I was thinking of the wedding of the original three at the El'urin Wedding Falls.
Jenia Celestina-Tane: No worries, I assumed you were speaking of the original Celestina marriage.
The Keeper : That was a funny event. Three women getting married. First ever heard of in any realm, I believe! The chaos of getting the three together and trying to decide on dresses. I think Jevicca officiated that
Jenia Celestina-Tane: I think it was funnier when Jenia and Rolan entered that marriage. Rolan couldn't make it that night and Scorne had to fill in as the groom.
Vaughn Astardes: I rememeber Nighty at the wedding too she was on Twist riding him like a bronco and made Lillith blush *laughs*
Dina Washima: maybe you should do that one again
The Keeper : Oh my gawd, yes!! That was on the other server.
Jenia Celestina-Tane: Isle of Desire back in the day
The Keeper : I don't know what happened to Elena. I'm afraid its not good. Oh she wanted Elvorith as a wife, too!! Good friends back then. On Wednesday vampy nights, Alex and Elvalia would get into these teasing insults. Funny to hear them. I haven't heard from Swords and Shackles since July 15, so I don't know what happened to her, either.
Jenia Celestina-Tane: If I may, I would like to add something that a friend IM'd me on Skype a few minutes ago.
The Keeper : Just remembered another fun time with Richard. He was always willing to be my test subject for the new vamp system. Oh of course!
Jenia Celestina-Tane: So the Black Sails are raised. The ships sail quietly into the endless night. There is no mourning nor rejoicing.
For the Black sails have been raised. To bring Him finally home to the true shores.
I bow not nor fear my journey. For long have I sought my one true home. Here I have lived and loved and shall again my true love.
Always torn apart. When we both did not wish it. My one true love I am tired and weak. I sail to you now.
Now the Black sails are raised. I sail into the endless night and await you my loves embrace. Kissmet my love now I shall never leave.
Jenia Celestina-Tane: That was written by a former Kissmet player.
The Keeper : Wow, thank you for that
Jenia Celestina-Tane: Thank Mez, he's just being shy.
Windie Wendt: brought tears to my eyes
The Keeper : Thank you, Mez
S. Meztica Ashium: hmmpff just ya know
The Keeper : If you don't mind, I'd like to post all this on our Kissmet forum and your poem in a special place. I'll think of something with you later. Okay?
Jenia Celestina-Tane: Don't short yourself Mez *hugs*
The Keeper : The statue and Alex's armor will be displayed down in the Kastle Main Hall after this
The Keeper : Anyone else?
The Keeper : Richard would not log off until another half hour and then that is when we'll end.
The Keeper : Any questions for me, then?
Dina Washima: some but they are not relevan right now
The Keeper : There are outfits that Elvorith had made. If you want to take a copy. There are umbrellas that you all may take for rememberance.
Dina Washima: other than maybe your making some of his characters into NPC's
Dina Washima: like late Aiko
The Keeper : Yes, I can do that. Will think of what kind of NPC that will be. Maybe as Alex and give a quest
Dina Washima: Least so that his trading company continues to be run by someone
The Keeper : Alex's sister runs that actually
Windie Wendt: very nice but *sighs* I have so many mementos of this land and I treasure each one
The Keeper : We do have that one quest for Vamps and the Daywalker. That NPC is a dracovich ancester.
Dina Washima: you can give that to Alex, he ran most of the history and translations.
Windie Wendt: *sniffs the roses and softly hums to herself "here comes the rain again"*
The Keeper : We have weddings and other fun and cheerful events, but funerals are a part of life. Its sad to lose a friend. We're getting older. Lets just enjoy life while we can. Please
Dina Washima: always though youd go first Keeper
The Keeper : Yes, I think I am the oldest here. Its sad for me to see others go
The Keeper : Some day my time will come
Windie Wendt: o you know that saying...only the good die young
Dina Washima: instead everyone esle has gone first.. younger and middle age a like
The Keeper : haha! I'm not very good
Vassnti Avuna'Velve: *snorts* Why would you think that, you were trying to put a hit out on poor king not that long ago
The Keeper : I hate to bring this up and not pushing the issue, but on the 25th, I think that is Wed... vamps can have a meeting to choose a new Prince
Windie Wendt: ha...the one who shows up gets it
Dina Washima: very well, else there a few ideas we can use if no one wants it
The Keeper : We do need a Prince for all the vampy goodies, they get
Dina Washima: wait will they have to marry carmille
The Keeper : We did joke about that when Alex was still here. At one of the meetings if he didn't get re-voted
The Keeper : btw, Alex and Katherine's coffins are in the Washima Mausoleum
The Keeper : I tried to think of many things to remember Richard by. I hope nothing is offending anyone
Dina Washima: will be nailing them shut with epoxy in the upcoming week
The Keeper : Some descriptions have been added to the statue of Elvorith in Celestina Crafting Hall
Vassnti Avuna'Velve: so we have a week to play with him....good to know
Dina Washima: I didnt spoke, i think we avoided part of that
The Keeper : Ezzy? Sorry you're late. Did you have something to say about Alex?
Ez'zynthari Olath'Cress: It was a good friendly aminosoty while always remaining civil and freindly OOC. Ezzy and Alex where at odds on most Vampire issues. But I dont think we ever had a bad interaction. I hope one day well play again in the other side.
The Keeper : He got along with everyone. And enjoyed his role as Prince and friend
The Keeper : One last chance to say something, please
Davarius Lightblade: I suppose remember the fallen well,so long as they live in your minds and hearts they live on in the lives they touched.
The Keeper : Yes and its good to see you too.
Dina Washima: I didnt know him personaly.. so much so I only now know his real name
Dina Washima: least keeper has mine incase we need a impromp obituary
The Keeper : There are many Kinksters I never really go to know. Didn't have any personal info to know what might have happened to them. Like Um... Lady Crystal. Founder of the Arcane Guild
The Keeper : Well, guess its after 9pm EST. Richard has gone to bed. Thank you for coming to his Memorial
Dane Dana: Thank you for having it
The Keeper : He'll want us to move on and have fun and be friendly to eachother
